Hmmm

Why does the right thing feel wrong? Why must i hold on? Why can i not let her go from my mind.

A Conversation

“I’ve come for you, your time is up.’

“But why? I’m not quite ready.”

“This isn’t a choice you can make. Your papers showed up this morning.”

“No, I can’t go. I’ve business to attend.”

“Well, you see that’s too bad.”

“Look, I have a family. What about them? I need to say goodbye. And look at my friends, who will console them about me? How will they feel?”

“Ok, ok. Let me see if I can get this through to you. You have to go now.”

“Why now? Why can’t you come back in a few years? What about my income? How will my family be provided for? How will my children know that I loved them? I need to tell all of my family how I love them.”

“You know, I empathize with you. But you had a chance to do these things. And now that it is your time, I’m sorry to tell you but it is too late. I cannot delay my schedule- which is tight by the way- for someone who was too busy to do these things during the time they had.”

“But you see. I was busy…”

“With what? Your success, your entertainment, your pleasure? Why not use your already limited amount of time to say those three easy words ‘I love you’? It’s really easy don’t you know.”

“I know, but you see I didn’t know how.”

“Don’t you start to pull Freud on me. It is yours and only your fault. You didn’t look around and see that love was all around you.”

“I need stay. I need to encourage other people to do these things.”

“Now, look you still don’t understand. You are out of time. There is no ‘real quick’. You have to go. Your loved ones will have to figure it out.”

“Will it hurt?”

“What- Oh, no. Not at all. It is quite relaxing so I’m told.”

“How long is it?”

“Instantaneous”

“Could I have two years then?”

“No! I can’t do that! You are done! Stop wasting time, we need to go!”

“Do you know who I am?”

“Yes, you are very important.”

“Do you know what I have done?”

“Yes. It was beneficial. But look at what you didn’t do.”

“What do you mean?”

“I mean, did you enjoy the finer things in life? Such as your family and friends? Were you charitable? What about that man on 5th and James you passed everyday who begged for spare change while you walked by in your Armani suit?”

“What! Of course I enjoyed the finer things in life!”

“But did you cherish them? Did you seek to make memories or to hear about them?”

“Are you God?”

“No, but I will take your soul in a moment.”

“Who are you then?”

“I am just a bridge way.”

“What do they call you?”

“Death”

'Twas the internet before Christmas

'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the Net,
There were hacker's a surfing. Nerds? Yeah, you bet.
The e-mails were stacked by the modem with care,
.........In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there.

The newbies were nestled all snug by their screens,
While visions of Java danced in their dreams.
My wife on the sofa and me with a snack,
We just settled down at my rig (it's a Mac).

When out in the Web there arose such a clatter,
I jumped to the site to see what was the matter.
To a new page my Mac flew like a flash,
Then made a slight gurgle. It started to crash!!

I gasped at the thought and started to grouse,
Then turned my head sideways and clicked on my mouse.
When what to my wondering eyes should appear,
My Mac jumped to a page that wasn't quite clear.

When the image resolved, so bright and so quick,
I knew in a moment it must be St. Nick!
More rapid than mainframes, more graphics they came,
Then Nick glanced toward my screen, my Mac called them by name;

"Now Compaq! Now Acer!", my speaker did reel;
"On Apple! On Gateway!" Santa started to squeal!
"Jump onto the circuits! And into the chip!
Now speed it up! Speed it up! Make this thing hip!"

The screen gave a flicker, he was into my "Ram",
Then into my room rose a full hologram!
He was dressed in all red, from his head to his shoes,
Which were black (the white socks he really should lose).

He pulled out some discs he had stored in his backpack.
Santa looked like a dude who was rarin' to hack!
His eyes, how they twinkled! His glasses, how techno!
This ain't the same Santa that I used to know!

With a wink of his eye and a nod of his head,
Santa soon let me know I had nothing to dread.
He spoke not a word, gave my Mac a quick poke,
And accessed my C drive with only a stroke.

He defragged my hard drive, and added a "Dimm",
Then threw in some cool games, just on a whim!
He worked without noise, his fingers they flew!
He distorted some pictures with Kai's Power Goo!

He updated Office, Excel and Quicken,
Then added a screensaver with a red clucking chicken!
My eyes widened a bit, my mouth stood agape,
As he added the latest version of Netscape.

The drive gave a whirl, as if it were pleased,
St. Nick coyly smiled, the computer appeased.
Then placing his finger on the bridge of his nose,
Santa turned into nothing but ones and zeros!

He flew back into my screen and through my uplink,
Back into the net with barely a blink.
But I heard his sweet voice as he flew from my sight,
"Happy surfing to all, and to all a good byte!"

Book

I am making a compilation of my works [poems]. It is going to be pretty good

I just finished Mockingjay which is the third and final book of the Hunger Games trilogy by Suzanne Collins. IT WAS AMAZING. I suggest that if you have not read the books. Do so.

They are...

The Hunger Games
Catching Fire
Mockingjay

By the way have i told you how amazingly lucky I am, and how Wonderful God is. But of course if you didn't know that last part there is a serious re-evaluation of your life that needs to take place, just saying :) but you guys don't need that! lol

But I am seriously blest!

To God be the Glory,
In Him,

Philip Michael "Screaming Eagle" Magee

Taken

I have found the most wonderful woman in the world.

We met at camp this year, she was a junior and I a senior.

I knew at first sight that she wold be the one.

On August 17, 2010 (11:30 pm 8/16) She and I finally confessed that we really liked each other, and I knew that my prayers for Gods help to be a stronger christian, better student, and a better man were being answered.

I have no problem telling you how I feel about this girl! Because everything that I write is from the heart.

My thoughts are like a relient k song 'Must have donse something right"

We should get jerseys 'cause we make a good team
But yours would look better than mine 'cause you're out of my league

And I know that it's so cliched to tell you that everyday
I spend with you is the new best day of my life
And everyone watching us just turns away with disgust
This jealously, they can see that we've got it going on

I'm racking my brain for a new improved way
To let you know, you're more to me than what I know how to say
You're okay with the way this is going to be
'Cause this is going to be the best thing we've ever seen

If anyone could make me a better person, you could
All I gotta say is I must have done something good
You came along one day and you rearranged my life
All I gotta say is I must have done something right
I must have done something right

And maybe I'm just lucky 'cause it's hard to believe
Believe that somebody like you'd end up with someone like me

And I know that it's so cliched to talk about you this way
But I'll push all my inhibitions aside
It's so very obvious to everyone watching us
That we have got something real good going on
