This Morning
4am rolled around and I rolled out of bed. I tried the same at 1am but was definitely too tired to function. Now I’m wide awake and rearing to go. Let’s make magic!
Poem – Current State of Me (aka A Single Moment)
The video (4MB 1:14) is just me reading the following which in essence is just a list of words so you may just want to save your bandwidth. I suggest that you read column one first, then column two, then left to right all the way down. In the video it sounds like I wrote this in 1988 but it was actually 1998.
Current State of Me (aka A Single Moment)
Writing — Things
Thinking — Change
Dreaming — Deranged
Blinking — Dazed
Pondering — Amazed
Wondering — Craze
Wandering — Maze
Listening — Beat
Hoping — Reach
Praying — Seek
Delaying — Weak
Straying — Lazy
Crazy? — Crazy!

Normally I like to leave interpretation of any written piece to the reader, however, I think this probably stands to have some explanation otherwise I could just randomly pick words from a dictionary and call it art. Hmm.. Now that’s not a terrible thought!
The following are straight from the journal (6 years ago) with the exception of one that required edits (it’s a journal!) and the notes of course are from the present.
- Writing — Things
- The "things" I was writing were my journal entry and the poem itself
- Thinking — Change
- The thinking "change" was all that had gone on in my recent past from marriage to getting laid off to starting my own business.
- Dreaming — Deranged
- These were thoughts of an alternative path that I could have walked with no debt and unrealistic fantasy dreams. Regret of choices made, desires to change them and imagining how different things would be. Demented thoughts.
- Blinking — Dazed
- The dreaming-deranged overwhelmed me and I spaced out for a few. It felt great to momentarily be nowhere!
- Pondering — Amazed
- The stepping back into reality after resetting my fuse and realizing the significance of many of the choices I’d made in that recent (and far) past.
- Wondering — Craze
- The struggling I did with myself over whether or not I’d made good choices
- Wandering — Maze
- I would get lost in my own thoughts and sometimes could not escape myself. It would be like the walls closing in.
- Listening — Beat
- I simply took a second to enjoy the music Border’s was playing
- Hoping — Reach
- My mind wanted someone to help me
- Praying — Seek
- Expanding on the former..a more spiritual cry for help.
- Delaying — Weak
- Recognition that I create my own Hell through procrastination, my biggest weakness.
- Straying — Lazy
- My inclination (at the time) to give up
- Crazy? — Crazy!
- Am I losing it? Through my own actions – yes.
Progress!
The red station wagon after sitting many many weeks in the driveway has been moved to the mechanic’s to troubleshoot the transmission problem. After that, eradicating the mold and fugus that grew on the ungodly amount of food we left in the car. Every crumb has become a science experiment. I swear when I opened the door a french fry asked, “Are we there yet?” I am so disappointed in myself for allowing that to happen!

This Morning
I want at least 4 hours of programming each day. If that means I go without eatting or sleeping then I want those 4 hours!
Today can go a couple of different ways. I have an appointment at 11am that cannot be moved and I must be on time. The possibilities today center around computer maintenance, dry walling, computer programming, marketing, sales and invoicing (hmm. That should be pretty high up!). I get the distinct impression that my day will begin with phone support and I may end up downtown again. There is a PTA meeting at the school tonight.
Amy rises. Molly calls.
The Hats We Wear
Today I roles got to play:
* Chauffeur
* Accountant
* Windows 2000 Administrator
* Wireless Network Engineer
* Fire Extinguisher Inspector
* Negotiator
* Pet Walker
* Poet
* Chef
I think chef ranks highest in my book.
Tight-ropes
I dance with the Devil.
My head spins and I grow faint.
The evil swells within me
And the weak shall receive the burden
Of my wrath!
I commiserate for those who have fallen before me
And I commune with the Devil for I am stronger than He!
The Others were eatten, devoured by their lack of connivery
And here I feed. I eat with the Devil yet he devours me.
My anger lashes out! The Devil hides my fear.
My skin crawls. The Devil shows my muscles rippling.
I shall weep! The Devil gives me no tears.
I break. And the Devil smiles for He is stronger than Me.
