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.

Just before spring break, this girl messaged me from MySpace saying that she thought it was cool I liked Incubus and that we had a lot of the same favorite bands. I checked out her profile and saw her [hot] pictures, and wrote her back saying that I thought it was cool that she liked beer pong and that she should friend me. So she did and I ended up talking to her on IM. For like FOUR HOURS.

The first IM was cool, and we decided that we'd keep in touch, so we did. Over break I ended up talking to her a lot more than I expected to, even so much as doing what I could to talk to her at Thrad's house after we were both ridiculously banged up from drinking. Also there were a few nights that we ended up staying up late, which was nice because I even pulled out a seriously wicked drunk IM and she talked to me in the morning. Musta been doing something right, you know?

We made plans to get together and go on a date the Friday we were back at school, and that happened:

We met up and the first thing that happens is she tells me she has a sore on her foot caused by the heels that she said she'd wear because she was excited because I was tall. That's devotion. I don't even know what to think of that, so I take her back to my domicile and show her around a bit and then we head up to the mall. Two interesting things happen on this trip up, #1 being her shushing me when I tried to sing along with an Incubus song, which was kinda funny, and #2 being us absolutely BLOWING through a stop sign, going like 50 mph over the speed limit, which was absolutely hilarious.

So we get to the mall and head for Outback Steakhouse and end up ordering the same thing without actually conferring with the other about what we were getting. Same alterations too, haha. We picked on a guy who had a goatee and tough guy piercings and ordered a Smirnoff ice, and noticed that a lot of guys appeared to be there with their moms. Also she gave me a look and I swear my heart hit my teeth.....

Then we went and saw the movie Be Cool, which fricking ruled. I have never seen Get Shorty, which that was the sequel of, but this movie stood on its own: QUIT BEING SUCH A HARD ON!

After taking the long way around the mall to get to her car in the sub-absolute zero temperatures because I'm an absolute chode, we headed back and listened to tunes and she has the best music collection ever. She won me with the Killswitch Engage. We got back to my room and we decided that she was staying. The next morning she left, wearing nothing that she came in with save for some undergarments. I guess I have to see her again. I mean, she took my shit. haha

But seriously, this girl and I really really hit it off well and I hope things work out for us because she is mad fun and mad cool and she likes me and making out. Also I should point out that she is unreservedly hot. It's about time.

So this one's for you, Sarah Lincoln. Cheers. *clink*

And don't tell me to be cool. I AM COOL. *blam*
