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.
another sarah update

Gosh, all 3 of my readers must be getting sick of hearing about Sarah. Oh well. :)

This last weekend, I went to go see Sarah. Her awesome friend Ashley picked me up and we went back. NO CAR ACCIDENTS THIS TIME THANK GOD. We got back to Lock Haven without a hitch, and Sarah and I pretty much spent the whole weekend just hanging out and enjoying each other's company. She, Tracy, Kristian, and I made a Burger King run, and then Sarah and I got a bunch of movies and that's the most that can be said about what we did this weekend. It was a great time, no doubt, and Sarah is cool as ever. Finally I wasn't sick! But unfortunately she was. Oh well. This summer is going to rock officially harder than your mom and a half.

<3

There was more I was going to write with this, so I'll update it here instead of making a new post:

I bought car insurance yesterday. Geico, in fact, but yeah. Apparently I am ignorant to the ways of car insurance, but I think I have a ridiculously low rate for insurance and nobody else seems to think so. It's like $408 for 6 months, which is awesome for a 21 year old male who has never been insured EVER. Plus, I can afford it, so I guess that makes the difference too. So screw you everyone else!

Since Ron Colton reneged on selling me that Crown Vic, my mom decided she'd just give me the 82 Jeep Wagoneer we have sitting around here. It's a good car with a strong body, a 258 I-6 and 4 wheel drive, comfortable seating for 5, and no airbags (pretty good because it seems like the kind of car that if I wrecked, I would die in anyway). I have a Chilton's manual for it, and if my mom get them motivated, some guys are coming up to get it inspection-ready this week. I should have the title switched over to my name and the car registered by Friday or so, and then I'll get it inspected when I come home from school. Then, son of a bitch, I will have a car and be legal to drive it anywhere with no fear of legal repercussions no matter what happens, barring vehicular homicide if those fucking old people decide it would be smart to wreck my car finally!

You know, I think they're really going after me. I have been in two accidents with old people in two years, and I used to think it was just bad luck or maybe a karmic imbalance on the girlfriend I was with's behalf. No, those bastards are out to get me. WITH A VENGEANCE.

So, since I'll have this car, I've decided I'm going to make a bunch of road trips this summer to christen the thing. I left this thing open to comments from all people, so leave me your suggestions on where I should go, as I become the weekend warrior I will.

(hint: concerts and friends' houses are the best idea, and remember, seating for 5)

And lastly, here is another plug to Sarah: damn. :-D

Yup, those are my suggestions.
