some poetry
Desiderata

1927 Max Erhmann

Go placidly amid the noise and haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible without surrender
be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly;
and listen to others,
even the dull and the ignorant;
they too have their story.

Avoid loud and aggressive persons,
they are vexations to the spirit.
If you compare yourself with others,
you may become vain and bitter;
for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.

Keep interested in your own career, however humble;
it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs;
for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;
many persons strive for high ideals;
and everywhere life is full of heroism.

Be yourself.
Especially, do not feign affection.
Neither be cynical about love;
for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment
it is as perennial as the grass.

Take kindly the counsel of the years,
gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.
But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline,
be gentle with yourself.

You are a child of the universe,
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

Therefore be at peace with God,
whatever you conceive Him to be,
and whatever your labors and aspirations,
in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul.

With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful.
Strive to be happy.

Last Saturday after my awesome date, Chicken came up and we hung out, recorded some shit, and bought some alcohol - 100 proof peppermint schnapps and some Goldschlager. Lynne, Kenneth, and Lindsay all came over and we drank until we were LIT. Seriously, we fuckin finished the bottles in like an hour. We were all TORE UP and then Lynne and Lindsay needed to go pee because women do that, and what would you know, a fuckin' cop stops by and says hey you're all drunk, what fun!

The funny thing is that I don't remember anything about what she said. I don't remember telling her she could search my room, or showing her my IDs, or saying anything about the Slums, but apparently I had the presence of mind to say that stuff. Although I'm told by Lindsay who wasn't drunk that I was slurring like crazy and I couldn't find my check card in the morning which was funny.

I finally got ahold of the cop and it's getting referred to Res Life which is fine with me. Nobody gets an underage and I probably won't even get fined because I am legal now. I love small town justice sometimes. :)
