Life & Poetry 101

I should have posted sooner. I know that. I didn’t though, so here’s a condensed update of my thoughts and life since Friday.

Sunday, I got an unexpected shocker… LDS Church president Gordon B. Hinckley died about 6:30 PM. I can’t say though I thought he was amazing, I really cared all that much. It’s believed he is now with his wife and he doesn’t have to deal with being old anymore. I can fully go along with that. I also know the Church will go on. I’m not sweating it.

Fox 13 News… get on with other stories, such as the important U.S. Presidential election, or the threat we have from global warming. (Heh Heh!)

I just got back from my appointment, and thus continues the adventures at South Davis Community Hospital. I can’t say I’m greatly impressed with this new doctor taking over for Dr. Fryer, but he isn’t that bad either. I’m still here. That’s what matters right now.

Lunch will be coming in about an hour and a half… I can’t believe I’m saying this, and I know I’ll probably regret the thought later, but I can’t wait.

I decided, since I’m still awake (why is beyond me!) to write a new new post. As I opened IE, though i’m writing this in Firefox, I stumbled on this story…

http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/01/25/nytimes.endorses/index.html

CNN & The NY Times… what a combination!

Can’t you tell where their biases really are? You might or might not agree with their style of reporting. I don’t, and any other semi-conservative shouldn’t either after reading this horse sh*t.

On a lighter note…

Like I said before, why I’m still awake is beyond me. I have a doctor’s appointment in less than 8 hours, and I’m still writing this. (Maybe it’s just conviction to write.) I will hopefully find out how much longer, approximately, I need to stay in this place. Then I get to come back here and think all about it! Isn’t life grand?

As an extra bonus, if it can be called such, a slideshow (of me), complete with appropriate theme.

More later today… especially if LDS Chat is still down.

This is just a quick post, and for the most part just me ranting…

Come on folks! One of my roomie’s monitors has decided in the last 20 minutes or so to go off at a very random rate. The shrill tone of the alarm is enough to drive anyone insane. Why can’t anyone fix it so it doesn’t keep making noise? They’re supposed to be trained here!

Well anyway, it’s 7:38 AM, and I’m gonna try to keep sleeping for a while longer. More updates ahead.

Edit: It’s 12:15 and I just woke up. The infernal noise stopped just after I finished writing the first part of this post.

It’s been a rollercoaster ride the last two weeks, but I am finally back online again… I just hope it continues to work this time.

Being without the Internet has been a microcosmic hell. It’s a bit silly to say to most people I would guess. When the only major forms of entertainment available are the computer, which I succeeded in almost thoroughly disabling last week, and the TV, (and it almost totally sucks), the Internet is vital.

I don’t really have anything more important to say right now, so I’ll cut this short, but keep your eyes open for more from me in the future.

I’m half asleep, and mad as hell. I woke up this morning at freakin’ 7:30 AM all for no good reason. I’m not going to Arizona anytime soon apparently. Stupid bureaucratic nonsense! If I was a screamer… I’d scream. Stupid, stupid, stupid! I can at least put this damn thing behind me now though… Sorry grandma, I tried!

It’s 1AM, but I’ve neglected this for a few days, so here’s another post.

I’m STILL waiting to find out if I can go to Arizona, unlike previously when I thought it would be completely impossible. If I don’t find out by the end of today though, it would likely be impossible no matter. Stupid insurance! I still have hope though. I think my mom would love to have me there with all the stress she’s been dealing with. Tuesday will be the deal breaker…

 Goodnight y’all.

What a messed up way to start my newest blog. It’s not exactly a pleasant beginning to a new year either. It’s January 3, 2008 and my life is upside down right now…

I’m in the hospital, and have been for over five months. The return to my life is in sight, but it’s still a faint light. I’m starting not to care though. It’s not the best situation here and heaven knows I want to feel fully human again, though I’ll miss a few people here greatly. Missing this place is mostly beside the point today though.

Approx. 4AM Mountain Time today – my grandma died. I’m almost sure I can’t go home for the funeral. I have been so angry and scattered today. I just wish I could have really said goodbye. I want to take back so many things too. Can I please just rewind?

Here’s a poem I’m working on…

At the final bow a thespian

watches the curtain fall.

As the satin hits the stage,

the actor remembers something-

something important he forgot to say.

“I love you”

That’s all he needed to say.

When his costar looked at him though,

All she got was a blank stare-

And she continued on.

The play was a success,  yes,

however it could have been better…

the crowd might have felt the emotion,

had the feeble, untrained actor

not forgot that line.
