Today was especially “Monday” for some reason, but regardless, I made it through. Click read more to read my poem I wrote “about” today, called ‘the day that won’t go away’. Finally, I really one have one thing to “sound off” about today; if you are trying to pass a parked car on your side of the street, STAY ON YOUR GODDAMN SIDE OF THE ROAD, ASSHOLE!!!! IT DOESN’T STICK OUT THAT FAR!!! That is all.
Push Play Already!!!
Weezer - We Are All On Drugs
Cardigans - Sick and Tired
Fall Out Boy - Sugar, We’re Goin Down
the day that won’t go away
I rack my brain,
go almost insane,
to think of ways I can avoid you.
I work so hard,
just to put up my guard,
in hopes I can defend myself from you.
You know this,
and you dismiss,
my ability to work and think and act.
You make me feel,
that I am less than real,
and hurt me with your attacks.
I bite my thumb,
to make it numb,
to the droning on around it.
I want it to be,
that which I do not see,
the dawning of complacency.
Bored and restored,
I feel so ignored,
but you just keep on moving.
I tried to hide,
all that inside,
but it spilled out on the carpet.
But I sit in disgust,
and collect only dust,
in hopes that it will change.
Maybe my days,
will have more interesting plays,
acted out on its stage.
And maybe today,
is just a foray,
into something that doesn’t really exist.
It is a picture I painted,
and one I tainted,
so I can wash it all away.
And now I sit,
full of less shit,
than a moment ago was pondered.
I can move on,
for the end of this song,
has come and gone unfettered.
What I ponder is existential,
not so much elemental,
and can therefore be shrugged off.
This day may be,
annoying to me,
but I delight in the thought that it will soon be over.
You definitely have a way with words Duane. I also love the rhythm of that.
That poem is awesome but I’m glad my day went better than yours. It looks like the new job will be just fine as long as I keep the cover sheets on my TPS reports. : )
The poem is cute… Mostly cuz I totally relate. And my day isn’t even over yet. Must head off to my second job. And you’re right about the drivers - I often find that on my bad days, I notice every single awful driver on the road. It’s like misery is a magnet for more bullshit. lol. Just sleep. End the madness now! LOL.
I love it. I mean, sorry you had a bad day, but I love how you get irritated by such things as I do. I don’t think reading “Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff” will change me? You??
Nah, Kiddo, I don’t think that stuff works for everyone… I didn’t even really have a BAD day, it was just one of THOSE days, if you know what I mean. It is amazing how much you realize that you are so fortunate to have what you have, be where you are, etc, yet, can’t seem to be happy like some people are… weird. And that is why it was one of THOSE days…
Nice! What a way to describe a crappy day. Hope whoever made you feel like that isn’t always that way. I have had people make me feel the same way and you really wonder why you are doing things for them at all. You have a good way with words. Hope today is better for you.
And F to all morons who are more selfish than they are horrible at parking. Those “bad parkers” are more about not caring about those around them than just being shitty at parking.
Sorry about your day yesterday, hope today is all smiles and sunshine! I am so excited that you have Weezer and the Cardigans both on your music list right now. Have you listen to any of their new album Super Extra Gravity? I am loving their new song “I need some fine wine and you,you need to be nicer”. I think the whole album is good, I have only heard 3 songs though. Sorry I am rambling!
Matt… I bought the CD on ebay, cos it won’t be released in the US… It is supposed to arrive this week!!! CAN’T WAIT!!! (I think that if it is as great as I think that it is going to be, you should watch out for a Cardigans inspired post in the near future!)
