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.

Sarah came up Thursday and stayed Thursday and Friday nights. DAMN WAS IT FUN!

I barraged her with all of my friends and they all thought she was awesome, and then Thursday night we went to see Bitch at Night & Day Cafe. Bitch was fricking awesome. Her drummer was excellent and the lead singer (I guess she is actually Bitch) was incredible. She played ukulele, electric violin, electric bass, and these neat shaker things connected by strings that I have no idea what it's called and I wanna learn it now. The songs were super and the company was great, and Jess and Lynne totally assimilated Sarah into the group.

After that, we went back and chilled for a bit, till the little one and the tall one came over, at which time we recorded until midnight. I recorded a song so Jess could see the process, and then I had her record something, and then they left. Then Sarah and I decided we were hungry for Taco Bell and went out there to find it closed at fucking 9 PM. We were mad, so we went to Walmart instead and got junk food for my room. And then we stayed up late eating it and having a good time.

Friday, I got up early and did some studying for my bio test (which I took and passed awesomely), and Sarah and I hung out the whole day until Chicken got here, at which point we finally went out for our Taco Bell run and that was great. I was so glad Chicken got to meet her because he's my best friend and if the girl doesn't get the best friend's approval, she ain't worth it, and she passed with flying colors to him. So that was great. Then we came back and serenaded her for a while until she and I got tired, so then we went to sleep.

Saturday, Chicken came by bright and early at 11 and we headed up to Rico's for chicken wing pizza, and we met up with TJ who drove. Rico's chicken wing pizza is a delicacy, btw. After we got back, Sarah packed up her stuff, we kissed goodbye, and she sailed off into the sunset, to be seen again in a number of weeks, probably two.

Man, Sarah is an awesome time. She and I get along really well, and my friends all got good vibes from her. Next time we hang, I'm gonna go out to Lock Haven and hang out with her friends and hopefully that'll go really well too. We like a lot of the same music and there's no hurry to do anything. She is just a really easygoing girl and I love that. It feels right when we're just sitting around being quiet, and it feels right when we're hanging out acting like retards in malls. It's cool to take her out to dinner and it's fine to be a little intoxicated while she just sits back and soaks it all up. She has a gorgeous face and pretty green eyes, and she fits so nicely into me when we curl up. I hope it works out, but all I want is no alarms and no surprises please. Unless of course I find out she's a nymphomaniac. ;)
