It’s getting harder and harder to post. I’m done with summer classes. Two A’s and a C, so Fall will have to be better. The C was in my easiest class funny enough. I’ve got 16 days of freedom left. Today was my birthday. I felt compelled to post something…and I settled on poetry since [...]
It’s been a long time since I’ve posted. I meant to take it easy on myself with blogging this year but not that easy. It has been a damn crazy year so far though. Thankfully, I’ve had a good time writing code and picking up an old hobby or two. I’ve been playing Magic the [...]
It’s been a long time since I’ve read poetry, as I related to a friend recently. I’ve wanted to get back to it and so poked through two volumes given to me by friends who know my love of poetry. I absolutely have to post one of the poems I read. The poem is taken [...]

Somewhere along the way, the music stopped. It used to drift in from across the hall in citrus hues and lilting arpeggios. There was no exhaustion and sleep was restful. We woke up, dogwood blossoms falling from our lips, sun streaming through the windows. Sundays there was french toast and the wind was always behind [...]
You know what today was missing? Some Milosz. I bombed a math quiz today. I mean, actually bombed. As in I think I got a zero. Guess it’s time to go re-read the sections and redo the homework. I wrote a poem recently about how progress is deceptive because it doesn’t feel like progress. It [...]
Things have been fairly ridiculous for the last 10 days. I won’t go into details because they concern some other people that might not want them discussed. That said, things have been fairly ridiculous and I’ve had a hard time focusing on doing schoolwork or anything else. I’m trying not to get overwhelmed by everything. [...]
I meant to post an entry about all sorts of nerdy and interesting computer things I’ve been reading but it’s been delayed. I’ll probably regret posting this but it’s the first thing I’ve written poetry-wise since July. It was sort of an experience. Fear I want the biggest hug I have inside me to swallow [...]
I’m less than my best this morning. I woke up exhausted, I struggled towards the office. I met a Microsoft developer on the train. You could tell from the Silverlight and CodingHorror stickers on his laptop. He seemed like a nice enough guy. However, he was going south towards Downtown and the only Atlanta office [...]
There was a fragment of Milosz stuck in my head the last 24 hours that I wanted to track down and get out of my system. It was originally printed as an Inscript in Unattainable Earth but I found it reprinted in his New and Collected Poems on pgs. 412-413. What did I really want [...]
I am not opposed to it. I lived fully and well, spending time perched in dogwoods and chairs to try and learn the lessons of machines, men and dogs in their cacophonous chorus. I am not opposed to it. I eventually did settle with my own thoughts after years of combat. I knew rebellion, fought [...]
