I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I'm your regular slave, toiling for the man. I roll my rock up the hill and watch it roll back down. I have a wonderful girlfriend and a money-pit of a house. I have pretensions of being somewhat of a writer and pretensions of being somewhat of an artist. The truth is I'm far too lazy to do either in the psychotic way that is required and seem prepared to embrace mediocrity. Woe is me. A poem I wrote to illuminate my uplifting outlook:

Shades

Just a shadow in the night

Fleeing from the light

And death is all that sets us free

And nothing’s all that we need

To meet our end and finally see

That we are all just blind.

As above, well, so below

We are nothing, nothing’s shadow

A cell inside a body

Too big for our mind’s grasp

We are only children

Who need something to clasp

Onto and hold onto

And never let her go

Cause we’re afraid of what is real

Terrified of what we know:

That I am nothing

And you are nothing too

And nothing is what got us here

And nothing’s all that’s true

And I wish that I could cheer you

Or me or him, and her too

But no one can

There is no hope above

No God, nor son

There’s no one there to love

You or me or anyone

But believe it if it’s what you need

Fall to your knees before the sun.

One in fifty billion lives

Just a drone inside a tiny hive

And the world is huge

And the scope of time

Is enough to make the strongest cry

And thank God that they’re alive.

That will tell you more about me than anything else I write in here.
