I'll Miss My Daily Haikus, And Hopefully You Will, Too. (Identify The Reference At The End Of This Poem [Without Looking It Up] And You Win A Prize)

I must say, I liked
Doing this blog. So long, and
Thanks for all the fish.

New Year's Resolutions Aren't Hard; Most People Just Set The Bar Too High

Next year I resolve
To be much lazier; hope
I can stick with it.

Not That I Didn't Know That Already, But It's Nice To Have A Gentle Reminder Every Now And Again

We had a blizzard,
And I learned snow and flip-flops
Don't go together.

Oh, That Ernest!

It's been a while; I'm
Looking forward to time with
Ernest F. Bierschenk.

New Year's Eve Will Be The End Of Daily Updates On This Blog. Perhaps I'll Write More Haikus In The Future, Perhaps Not.

Time has slipped away
From me; Relaxation has
Taken precedent.

I Kinda Doubt Anyone's Really Disappointed.

I'm giving up on
My Samurai Saturdays;
Wasn't feeling it.

That First Time Is AM, The Second One Is PM. At Least I Was Stranded With The Best Person In The World. We Are Both Currently Safe And Sound At Home.

Left Texas at 10
Christmas Eve; reached Bethany
At 12 the next day.

We Wound Up Spending The Night At A Hotel In Norman After Finally Getting Off The Interstate, And Made It Safely Home To See Family For Christmas

Stuck for 10 hours
On I-35 Northbound;
What a Christmas Eve.

Seriously. She's Awesome. And I'm Not Just Saying That Because She's Sitting Right Next To Me And Reads This Thing Everyday.

It's fantastic to

Have myself a Mrs. Wright

Of my very own.

A Philosophical Inquiry For You All

Question: how much wood
Would a woodchuck chuck if a
Woodchuck could chuck wood?

Seriously. I Fit About Five Apartments' Worth of Gifts, Shelley's Stuff, & My Stuff Into Very Little Space. MAGIC.

Before we left, I
Rearranged and cleaned, and I
Am freaking magic.

I'm Assuming That We're Having Fun, But, Again, That's Mere Speculation At This Point

Honeymoon: day two.
Writing this Thursday, so I
Don't know what it's like.

No Samurai Saturday Today. Sorry If Any Of You Are Disappointed.

I think you all know
What time it is this weekend;
'Cause it's business time.

I Can't Wait To Start My Life With Shelley Wright

December 18th
Has become a day that will
Live in infamy.

Just Kidding. Unless By "Debauchery" You Mean, Good, Clean, Nerdy Fun. Which I'm Sure You Don't.

Bachelor Party
Tonight, and I can't wait for
The debauchery.

Yay For All Of You

Sometimes I wonder
How I got so rich in friends;
You guys are awesome.

Big, Empty Bed

Waking up alone
Is never easy to do;
Soon I'll be with you.

I Am So Very Sick Of Writing Papers

Right now, I might sell
My soul if it meant that I
Didn't have to write.

I Enjoyed Myself At Our Staff Christmas Party Tonight, But The Whole Time I Felt Like A Kid In A Room Full Of Grownups, Pretending To Be A Grownup

Sometimes it's hard to
Pretend that I'm an adult,
'Cause I'm really not.

Seasons

Some seasons of life
Are meant for more than killing;
Peace on Earth to men.

Shelley's Really Good At Wrapping Gifts. The Ones I Wrapped Looked Like They Were Done By A Two Year-Old, All Jacked Up On Pixie Sticks And Caffeine

Done Christmas shopping
With two whole weeks until it's
Christmas. Sweet action.

Thou Art A Cruel And Angry God!

Every time I watch
This video I can't help
But smile. LINE PIECE!

I Just Want To Be Done And Leave On My Honeymoon. Is That Too Much To Ask?

Got papers to write,
So very many papers.
Just can't type no more.

...

Productivity?
No means of motivation.
Procrastination.

Had Some Troubles With My Internet Today, But, After 14 Minutes Of Talking To A Recording, Problem Solved And Another Small Piece Of My Soul Gone

The internet: a
Fickle mistress, but I love
Her electric teet.

I Still Miss Someone

Her suffering ceased,
And I'm glad; but I still wish
She could be here now.

The Inexorable March of Time

Strong, tall, and silent,
He stands like the mighty oak.
But, even oaks die.

I Thought It Was Computer, But I Muted The Sound And Still Nothing. Perhaps I'm Going Slightly Mad.

There's a ringing noise
In my left ear; I'm not sure
Where it's coming from.

I'm Very Much Looking Forward To Being On An Almost Two Week Vacation With The Woman I Love Relaxing To My Heart's Desire After Partyin Wit My Homies

I wish I could skip
The next two weeks and be at
My bachelor party.

Sorry I've Been Late With So Many Haikus Lately. Things Just Keep Getting Crazier And Crazier.

I need to be more
Productive; time's running out
No time left to lose.

Some Words Look Less And Less Like Real Words The More You See Them. Lazy Is Definitely One Of Those Words. Most Words Are If You Use Them A Lot.

I'm such a slacker;
A lazy, lazy, lazy
Big lazy slacker.

I'm Sorry. I Couldn't Help Myself. I Know It's Sad, And Old, And I Don't Even Care.

Pranks are really fun,
But can sometimes go too far;
What about this one?

It Was Nice To Get To See Family, Though.

End of a four-day
Weekend where I barely spent
Any time at home.

Bedlam

Mid-day battlefield.
Green grass in all directions.
Battle for honor.

Black Friday Has To Be The Stupidest Thing Ever; There Is No Deal Good Enough To Make Me Miss Sleep And Fight A Crowd Of Angry, Sleep-Deprived Women

Up way too early
Today, but at least I'm not
Going out shopping.

It Makes Me Kind Of Happy That All Of The Lines Are Even, Which Makes Me Sad, Because It Means Shelley's OCD Is Rubbing Off On Me

It's Turkey Day here
In the USA, and I'm
Out of things to say.

Artistically, I Have To Say That I Am Very Pleased With How This Haiku Turned Out. And I Usually Don't Like My Poetry, So That's Saying Something.

Got papers to write,
And tons of things I could do;
But, I just haiku.

Goofy Silver Age Comics Are One Of Those Things, And The Picture That Accompanies This Haiku Is Another. I Can't Look At That Little Guy Without Joy

Some things will always
Make me smile, no matter how
I might be feeling.

Had Some Squabbles With Shelley Today, But We Worked Through It. (Sorry If This Counts As Being Too Open About My Personal Life)

Two things: the wizard
Needs food badly; the Voltron
Can't be incomplete.

If You Don't Know, Schadenfreude Is Taking Pleasure In The Misfortune Of Others. It Comes From The German Words Schaden (Harm) and Freude (Joy)

OU lost to Tech,
And I have to admit I
Feel Schadenfreude.

The Sword of the Samurai

The samurai's sword
Brings salvation and doom;
Sometimes, they are one.

I Really Hope That Zac Robinson Is Better In Time For Bedlam, Because It Would Be Awesome To See Gundy Get His First Win Against OU Ever In Norman

Emotional game
For my Pokes tonight at home;
But, they pulled it out.

Occasionally I'll Think Of Something Witty Or Intelligent To Say, But Mostly I Just Wait For Comments About How Much People Love Stupid Worship Songs

With two daily blogs,
My original blog does
Not get very much use.

If You Don't Understand What I'm Saying, I Have My Internet Back (Maria Says I Can't Come To Work In Just My Underwear Anymore After That Last Time)

I'm back up on the
Blogosphere, haikuing in
Just my underwear.

Hopefully I'll Have Internet Again At The Apartment For Tomorrow. Thanks To My Buffer On The Rule Blog, I Don't Have To Worry About Those For Now

As long as I'm here

Early, might as well write the

Haiku for today.

I Came To Work Early To Do This, So I'm Not Wasting Company Time. Nor Have I Done That...Ever...In My Life...

Internet troubles

At la Casa; haikuing

From work computer.

He Got His Bell Rung By A Massive Hit With Two Minutes Left To Go In The Game, And OSU's Already Had To Deal With The Loss Of Two Other Star Players

I really hope that
Zac Robinson's all right; Pokes
Have suffered enough.

The Quiet Night's Watch

The moonlit sky
Shimmering through passing clouds;
All around is peace.

The Awkwardness Was Amplified By Just Standing There Another Few Minutes While I Waited To Finish My Deposit

Someone at the bank
Said I look like Drew Carey;
Is that an insult?

On The Upside, I Got To Look At Some Pretty Romantic Art, So That Was Nice

Six more books today,
And 20 PowerPoint slides.
How I love grad school.

Lance Schmitz Wins, Though; I Got 23 Books For Two Papers, And Lance Got 30 Books, All For One Paper

Today I went to
The SNU Library;
Got 23 books.
