The Blind Man

A cool, crisp breeze galloped its way through the urban park, like a phantom stallion let loose upon a countryside range.  Autumn leaves of marmalade, and strawberries, and gold bustled this way and that, jerked about on strings by some celestial puppeteer, who must have found a certain degree of delight in their syncopated dance.  For just an instant, a vortex of colors seemed to whirl itself together into existence before it dissipated again.  With a sudden jolt, the blind man awoke to complete and utter darkness.   
 He sported a long, smoky gray coat, which could easily serve as a makeshift bla

The Almighty DollarI hate money.  I hate how is restricts me.  I hate how it squeezes those around me.    I hate how its dearth depresses those without it.  I hate how its abundance rots those with it.  I hate how – no matter what – everybody wants just a little bit more.  All hail the almighty dollar, the religion of the masses.   
I hate how it buys love, despite what the proverbs say.  I hate how it makes the world go 'round, despite what the proverbs say.  All hail the almighty dollar.

Looking Down From the HeavensMy bunk bed was made of pure, white metal.  Its four columns stretched towards the sky blue mattress above,  Which was held aloft by interweaving, pearly bars.   
I had always slept on the bottom half,  Afraid I would tumble from the upper firmament.   
Oftentimes I would lay awake,  Staring at the impregnable fabrics above my body.  I could reach out my hands,  
But I could never get hold of neither the Gates above me,  Nor the mystery which lay beyond them.   
One clear night, I decided things would be different.   
Gingerly, I knelt beside the foot of my bed.   Looking Down From the Heavens

To Hell With ScienceI slowly trudged inside the class,  With a face fixed in defiance.  I shook my fist unto the air,  And said "to Hell with science!"   
…   
With a pulsing tic, and anger thick,  I went to take my seat.  But I fell right through, with a hullabaloo,  And was stuck, ain't that just neat?   
So with wooden desk grafted to my chest,  I went to see the teacher,  She gave me the eye, and asked precisely why  I was such a loathsome creature.   
"Science isn't happy" I mumbled,  Turning in my paper,  But though absurd, and without a word,  It evaporated To Hell With Science

PortraitHis head looks like a mottled egg in a bird's nest  His eyes are screened with glass  And his mouth is withdrawn, an anemone with yellowing tentacles   
His body is hunched like an oversized cashew  Gorilla arms flaccid at his side  Meat and fat hanging from his chest  Ungainly, Styrofoam cup legs  Atop varicose slabs of cheese

Law School

Journal Entry: Fri Dec 21, 2007, 6:52 PM
Well, just got my LSAT score today. Got a 158.

In other words, I screwed up pretty badly. Just figured I'd post this in case anybody was wondering if I'm dead yet.

I may not be dead physically, but I'm dead inside. :wink: I'll probably half-heartedly fill out some law school applications during break (which I don't want to do) on the off-chance I'm accepted somewhere (where I don't want to go).

Happy, happy holidays!
