Ode to Sheep

Fuzzy and fluffy
You make my shoes and coat warm
Thank you sheep and sheep

Progress

1932, Unemployed men search newspaper want ads for jobs while eating their daily ration of bread on a public bench.


Look how far we have come. We have boxes now.

I will sing it for you if you want

Here is a link to my recent column:

Ding-dong the Dow is Down

As you can see, I've decided that writing real quality columns is just not that fun. I would much rather rhyme.

A synonym for clusterfuck

I wrote a ditty based on the Wizard of Oz allegory for my news column this week. Included were the lines:

Someone serve up Bush's lame duck,
Let's get fixin fiscal cluster****

My editor reprimanded me for my naughty ways. But you know what? There really is no other way to describe the world except for big fucking clusterfuck. Well, there's shitfest. But that doesn't rhyme with duck.

Why I am an asshole

So, I am a big asshole for not keeping up with this blog. So, what have I been doing with my life? I lived in New Zealand for 6 months, South Africa for 2 months, traveled to Australia, Mozambique, Swaziland somewhere in the midst of it all. And I had a jolly good time, which is why I stopped writing on this blog. But now that I am back to mundane life here in Durham, North Carolina, I decided to start up the blog again. This may in fact defeat the original intent of the blog, which was to write about my adventures. Thus, I am an asshole. To make up for being lazy and blissful, here is a haiku:

I am sorry blog
For ignoring you this long
Five syllables is*

*not fucking enough
