Week 18 of 2012 - Lights

In the velvet darkness
of the blackest night
burning bright
there's a guiding star
no matter what or who you are
there's a light (over at the Frankenstein place)
there's a light (burning in the fireplace)
theres a light, light, in the darkness of everybody's life
The darkness must go
down the river
of night's dreaming
Flow morphia slow
let the sun and light come streaming
into my life
into my life
there's a light (over at the Frankenstein place)
there's a light (burning in the fireplace)
theres a light, light, in the darkness of everybody's life

End of 2011 is soon

'This is Eric's Blog' just changed the Blogger template and the Blogger icon pic. Change is good, right?
As long as it's change we can believe in!

Hallow-haiku

My pumpkin face grin.

Glowing in the hallow night.
Keep away spirits!

Entered this just now in a contest to win big!
Well, big as in $25 at Whole Foods.
Yum-O-lantern!

Speaking of Whole Foods: I found this water conservation video on their website. Seems that drinking beer SAVES WATER! And I don't even think they took into account that a pint is much MORE than a glass!!!

And the winner is...

The trouble with the rat race is

Just a Thursday

What's there to say about a Thursday?
?
?
Searching for a meaning to it all I find:

"This must be Thursday. I never could get the hang of Thursdays."
(The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy)
.
A few minutes later Earth is destroyed.
(In the book that is)

If it makes you happy.

A table, a chair, a bowl of fruit and a violin; what else does a man need to be happy?
(Albert Einstein)

If it makes you happy, it can't be that bad.
(Sheryl Crow)

Good things come to an end

When summer gathers up her robes of glory,
And, like a dream, glides away.

Rain in August

A much needed rainy day here.

But just remember:

"Never sell your hen on a rainy day."

Cowboy wisdom

Timing has a lot to do with the outcome of a rain dance.
(Cowboy Proverb)

I've got my saddle.
On my horse.
He's called.... T-t-t-t-t-trigger.
Of course.
(Boys Don't Cry)

Sunshine

I did not go blind. Taking pictures at the sun. Can I be that dumb?

Taxes are taxing

Tomorrow: Tax Day.
Yesterday: Prepared my taxes, unhappy with results.
Today: Redid my taxes. Twice.
I have now used TaxAct, TurboTax and TaxCut.
They all had the same end result: unhappiness.


Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. (Albert Einstein)

Energy

How much potential energy do I have? When will it be converted into some useful energy? Am I really the pinball waiting for the spring loaded plunger to be released? At least the plunger is now pulled back. That gives me some hope. And I'm told that I'm not crazy!

I'm not crazy.
You're the one who's crazy.
(Muir/Mayorga - Suicidal Tendencies)

To quote work

Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work. (Thomas Edison)

damn them and their tomfoolery!!!

Paraskavedekatriaphobia

It's Friday the 13th... don't be afraid!
According to the geniuses of Wikipedia it is when the thirteenth day of a month falls on Friday. So now that is all cleared up I will go and have a productive day.

Proverb day

Spring is sooner recognized by plants than by men. (Chinese Proverb)

My irises recognize it.

It must be a sign.

I wonder if they also recognize that it's below freezing.

7 days

I'm getting tired of the recovery program.
Today is one week since the slicing and dicing.
Well I hope there was only slicing.
It's not like they were making a stir-fry.

I think I may need a recovery haiku.
Or maybe a pic of dead hydrangeas will do.
They may even get me back in the mood.
Where are the pain pills?
Haiku THIS is not.

Haiku Monday

water wants to flow
slowly reaching for the ground
too cold, cannot move

Resolutions begin here.

Look forward to the new year for a new start on old habits. (unknown)

The final week of 08

Quick... say something witty...

Peniaphobia - Fear of poverty.
Not to be confused with Peladophobia - Fear of bald people.

Winter Wonder-why-I-live-here-land

Here comes the snow again
Falling on my head like a memory
Falling on my head like a new emotion
(Eurythmics)
