'twas the morning of thanksgiving, when all through the house
not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse;
the dishes were strewn about without care,
in hopes that the cleaning fairy soon would be there;

i was nestled all snug in my bed,
while visions of @$%^@ danced in my head;
and the phone was turned off, and all the doors locked,
so finally i could settle down for a long winter's nap,

when out in the lot there arose such a clatter,
i sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.
away to the window i stubbled bleary eyed,
tore down the curtain and threw up the blinds.

the sky was all grey and as bleak as ever
gave the dullness of reality to objects below,
when, what to my night-crusted eyes should appear,
but a man at the dumbster, and a friend at his side,

with little bags at thier sides, filled with cans and bottles,
i knew in a moment it must be the guys fisher has seen.
more rapid than eagles the set the pilage each sack,
and they yelled, and banged, and called eachother names;

"got one over here!" (Bang) "hey, get out of my bags!"
(Bang, Clang) "stupid fuck those are my bottles not yours!"
"no their not, they are mine. i got them three buildings down."
"ahhh, whatever, your senial. keep looking." (BANG!!!)

as dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly,
when they meet with an empty bag, throw it to the side,
so on and on this action ensued,
for quite some time, quite longer than i expected.

and then, in a twinkling, i heard one say.
"this one's dead. let's look in the other."
as i drew in my hand, and was turning around,
i noticed my door was unlocked to the outside.

i was dressed in just boxers, and not that much else,
and was wondering who had come to my home while i slumbered the night;
a bundle of thoughts flew through my head,
and i looked for a weapon to fend off attack.

i crept-- how quietly! my actions how comical!
my only protection, the marble ashtray!
that i spilled in my attempt to discourage a foe,
and the ashes and butts all on the table;

the thought of crying out tight in my teeth,
and relocking the door was the action i took;
i would have justice, whatever it cost
don't come in, unless you want to be throttled on the way out.

i was chubby and plump, and wielding a deadly ashtray,
and i laughed when i realized what i was doing, in spite of my possible thieves;
with a shout and opening all doors,
Soon gave me to know i had nothing to dread;

i spoke not a word, but went straight to the table,
and swept up the mess; then turned with a jerk,
and laying my hand aside of my nose,
gave an awful sneeze, and put down my former weapon;

i sprang to the window, remembering my wakeup call,
this time thinking that today of all days, maybe i could help.
but to my dismay, ere they were out of sight,
"happy thanksgiving to all, and to all-give thanks."

hope everyone is enjoying their time at home. i know ill be glad to stop by my parents this week and get homemade meals throughout the week. take care everyone and be safe as you celebrate the holiday and your time off from school.

so as the week comes to an end, my fears of failing physics is held back by my scaled grade in the class. thank god for curves.

nothing really new to post. life is going as usual. wish there was some excitement in my life, but all there is is me going thru the motions of school and trying not to forget anything. speaking of which, i still have to complete my applications for 2 different directed projects. need to get working on that.

hopefully i will be able to see pride's crossing the weekend--probably on sunday. my show is going well i think. im not really at rehearsal that much and when i am there, im not needed until like an hour into it. ahhhhh such is life.

other than that, all i have to say is that im poor. i feel the depths of my poverty as the christmas season approaches. need to find a seasonal job. hopefully i can get this one at sears working with thom, but who knows.

well, gotta go pick up my new suit. thats right, a new suit. no no no i didnt spend the money on it. my father bought it for me and its just now finished at the tailors. catch ya all on the flip side.

c is for cookie thats good enough for me.....thank you anyway dori. in response to my last post, i would like to clarify my statement. i was tired of being in this town, going to this school, and dealing with the same people. my life needs change and i am craving it now more than ever. not just that i want to move away, that is a big part. i am ready to be done with this school. ready to move past childish and immature squabbling where it doesnt matter who wins the arguement because it was a stupid arguement to begin with. i am tired of feeling like my time and effort dont matter. i want to go some place where my ideas are respected and the work that i do is appreciated. im tired of dodging the political gammet that is this department. i am ready to move on to something different and far, far away.


thats all i have to say about that.

the weekend was interesting. learning new things and it is always an upward battle when learning to trust. my eyes hurt. i know i should be doing work, but all i can think about is sleep. sorry to say that tuesday's show of a view from the bridge has been cancelled. lots of people to call and change their tickets. my eyes hurt. matrix revolutions opens on wednesday. hopefully will find time to see it. need to sleep. need to work. why cant it just be winter break? scratch that. why cant i be rich? then school wouldnt matter......
