Blockbuster online

Well, I'm not proud of this but I went onto a free ipod website ( because I'm poor), and I signed up for Blockbuster online, ( which isn't a stretch because all I had to do was cancel my netflix, which was more expensive anyway) And Blockbuster gives you coupons to go to their stores and such. SOooooooo,
if anybody is interested in Blockbuster or ipod, here is the lil ditty they gave me.

Hey-

Check out this great site that is giving away totally FREE iPods!

I've joined and I think you should as well.

It's a completely legitimate offer, and this company has already given away $4 million in FREE stuff!

All you have to do is join, complete an online offer, and refer friends to do the same. That's it!

Here is my referral link. To help me get my iPod, click this exact link to join, or copy and paste it into a browser:

Bored

So what to chat about? Ponder, ponder, ponder... I think all war should end, and everybody should get along. How typical is that, in a race that will shoot someone for driving poorly, we ask for world peace. I can't stand it. Who are we trying to fool with our notions of peace, war is in our nature. Sometimes I try to be optimistic, but it always falls through. Optimism is fantasy, pessimism is reality. I am a realist. A tired realist. Good night everyone, be glad you can sleep at night.

A Favorite Poem( one of many )

She was a Phantom of delight

She was a Phantom of delight
When first she gleam'd upon my sight;
A lovely Apparition, sent
To be a moment's ornament:
Her eyes as stars of twilight fair;
Like twilight's, too, her dusky hair;
But all things else about her drawn
From May-time and the cheerful dawn;
A dancing shape, an image gay,
To haunt, to startle, and waylay.

I saw her upon nearer view,
A Spirit, yet a Woman too!
Her household motions light and free,
And steps of virgin liberty;
A countenance in which did meet
Sweet records, promises as sweet;
A creature not too bright or good
For human nature's daily food,
For transient sorrows, simple wiles,
Praise, blame, love, kisses, tears, and smiles.

And now I see with eye serene
The very pulse of the machine;
A being breathing thoughtful breath,
A traveller between life and death:
The reason firm, the temperate will,
Endurance, foresight, strength, and skill;
A perfect Woman, nobly plann'd
To warn, to comfort, and command;
And yet a Spirit still, and bright
With something of an angel light.

~ W. Wordsworth

I have read two different endings to this poem, this is the older version. The new version ends with " Something of angelic light" it's frustrating because who gives publishers the right to just change things. The "angelic light" ending loses the natural flow, it's choppy. And this is just a poem, imagine what happens to important literature, like the Bible.

The Saddest

Of all sad words of tongue or pen, the saddest are these: It might have been!- John Greenleaf Whittier

A personal statement, a silly quote, or a tired old line. When I know, you'll know.

Sad Memories &

Every time I open this page, for some reason the picture of Coffee & is always on the top of the screen. I loved that place. My first day of work on Elmwood, was the same day they put the big cup on the front of the building. Now I didn't know the gentleman(owner) who lived upstairs. But I knew Nikki, she was everyone's favorite coffee slinging Granny. I liked it there so much that I had to find a drink for me, since I don't care much for coffee. Luckily for me the Chai revolution was on, and seeing that I'm not a health nut, I opted for the Milkshake. "Whipped cream?" yes. Ever since the arson, Elmwood,(to me)just isn't the same. So it seems fitting that I am leaving my Elmwood workplace. My patience has grown thin, and my hiding place has gone away. Oh well, " To everything turn, turn, turn..."
