The Twa Corbies

As I was walking all alane,
I heard twa corbies makin a mane;
The tane unto the ither say,
"Whar sall we gang and dine the-day?"

"In ahint yon auld fail dyke,
I wot there lies a new slain knight;
And nane do ken that he lies there,
But his hawk, his hound an his lady fair."

"His hound is tae the huntin gane,
His hawk tae fetch the wild-fowl hame,
His lady's tain anither mate,
So we may mak oor dinner swate."

"Ye'll sit on his white hause-bane,
And I'll pike oot his bonny blue een;
Wi ae lock o his gowden hair
We'll theek oor nest whan it grows bare."

"Mony a one for him makes mane,
But nane sall ken whar he is gane;
Oer his white banes, whan they are bare,
The wind sall blaw for evermair."

I'm actually a little bit frightened by how bored I am right now.
Crushing, oppressive boredom like a giant taco, thick with the sauce of ennui and stuffed with the beans of unfulfilled dreams and just enough apathy mince to justify the "beef taco" print on the gargantuan, monolithic box.

This taco has crushed many souls. It is the taco of Robinson Crusoe and the Man in the Iron Mask. It is the taco that drove Darth Vader to the Dark Side.
Eating its stale, wooden skin drove Nietzsche to insanity and Sartre to nausea.

This is Satan's take-out. Baezelbub's midnight snack.

This taco is evil.

Dear X

You've been in my brain for close to a decade now. We drift together, apart, back, forward, into and out of eachother ceaselessly. The second that I start to forget you, you're back in my life.
You amaze me, crack me up, make me pine, make me dream.

Thank you.

EDIT: That probably sounds more creepy than wistful. To clarify, X and I are long term friends who have agreed not to date in any capacity. No burning candles, no shrines. Just a heartfelt wish for the best for eachother (I think)

EDITEDIT: And by stalking, I mean the casual, incidental perusal of a facebook post from time to time. Remember, it's only stalking if you have to pay off the cops.

EDITEDITEDIT: If Milla Jovovich had bothered to REPLY to my fan letter, I wouldn't be burning a candle in the shrine I made to X.

EDITEDITEDITEDIT: I think I typed that last bit instead of just thinking it. Sleep-time.

Ready? Fight!

Wow. Scott Pilgrim is a win. Big happy win.

Am about five years north of being completely caught up in the angst and heartache of that time of life, but that's good. It's perspective. And the memories aren't really gone;)

EDITATION: What the Hell is it with me and mopey redheads. They ruin me (in a good way)

*deep sigh of relief*

I'm not a pussy about this kind of shit. I've tossed what were at the time dear friends right out on their asses, dumped boxes of their shit on the sidewalk in the past. I did it because they couldn't see that they were harmful people. I did it because they eventually crossed that goddamned line. But there's a handful of people in life who aren't like that and they and myself would be worse off for it if we went our separate ways.
I mean some things change in life and you can't account for fate's twists. But for as long as possible, you want to keep the righteous people close.

Some folks are made of gold.
