some poetry
Desiderata

1927 Max Erhmann

Go placidly amid the noise and haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible without surrender
be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly;
and listen to others,
even the dull and the ignorant;
they too have their story.

Avoid loud and aggressive persons,
they are vexations to the spirit.
If you compare yourself with others,
you may become vain and bitter;
for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.

Keep interested in your own career, however humble;
it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs;
for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;
many persons strive for high ideals;
and everywhere life is full of heroism.

Be yourself.
Especially, do not feign affection.
Neither be cynical about love;
for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment
it is as perennial as the grass.

Take kindly the counsel of the years,
gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.
But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline,
be gentle with yourself.

You are a child of the universe,
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

Therefore be at peace with God,
whatever you conceive Him to be,
and whatever your labors and aspirations,
in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul.

With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful.
Strive to be happy.

Ohh sweet nectar.

Work this week was boring, but payday ruled because I paid my insurance, bought stuff from Musician's Friend, and my girlfriend came over again. This was awesome because with this visit, Sarah will have finally met everyone who matters to me in my life, with the exception of my grandma!

The last link in the chain was Joel, and we plunged Sarah immediately into Joel's and my nightly ritual of walking and smoking on the bleachers. We're so badass, I tell you. Actually, it's funny, Joel and I have been up there about 7 times now and the Canton cops always visit the area and drive by reeeeaaaallly slow and look at us real mean before they leave us alone. So we went down there and Sarah, predictably, fit in really, really well with us. She's such a good fit it's crazy.

During the venture, we walked around behind the elementary school and got her creeped out because it's really dark and you can never tell if people are there or not, and then we played on the swings and... football uprights. Yes, we turned the football uprights into our own personal monkey bars. And you know, I made this pact with Sarah that I was going to start running and doing that thing every night and I haven't. Haha! I just straight up haven't, but I realized that I get my exercise other ways, and that's by walking with Joel and being an absolute monkey retard on school playground eqiupment. So that's nice.

On our way back, we walked past this one house on Main and I did a double take to be sure that I saw what I did on the inside. Then I made Joel walk back and look at it, and I tried to get Sarah too and she wouldn't. Joel came back apparently holding his guts in his mouth with his hand and was like "WTF WAS THAT GUY DOING?" You know what we saw? NAKED DUDE ASS. And it wasn't like he was banging his girlfriend or anything, the guy was just totally walking around his house naked as the day he was born. And it was bad too because the guy was ugly as shit.

All in all it was awesome having Sarah there again this weekend, and it turns out that she will be out here next weekend too. Maybe I'll hijack her into going to Thrad's or we'll go see Chicken or something. Who knows.

And I will end on this note: she makes me feel like I am the king of the world. Or at least king of her castle. ;)
