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.

I Could Gleefully Sleep For A Week; Thanks A Lot, Reality

When logging in takes
Four tries, you know you really
Need to get some sleep.

Dilly Dally Is A Fun Phrase. Seriously, Though, I've Got To Get To Work

Can't dilly dally;
More homework than you could shake
A stick at tonight.

Southern Nazarene University Put On A Production Of The Music Man, And Clint Gilbert (See Rule #176 On The Rule Blog [No Linking In The Title]) Rocked

Long day yesterday;
But, I got some free clothes and
I saw a great show.

The Steady March of Seasons

The leaves are turning
And falling to the cold ground;
Inevitable.

I Was Really Surprised At How Easily And Quickly This Place Cleaned Up; I Guess I'm Not As Good At Being A Slob As I Think I Am. Oh Well.

Cleaned apartment with
Shelley's help; quick, fast, easy.
Feel Rule 41.

It's With An Entertaining Professor, But I Just Don't Know If My Mind Can Handle Eight Hours In A Row Of The Same Subject

32 hours
Of class next week; I hope my
Brain can handle it.

Going To Be Coordinating A Weekly Service At A Nursing Home, And I Don't Know What To Preach About. Gloom & Doom? Fire & Brimstone? Wicked Youths?

Been thinking 'bout what
I'm going to say when I
preach to old people.

My Parents Had Cats Who Had Kittens, So Now Ernest Has Four Kitties To Play With, And I Feel Less Guilty When I Leave Because He's Not All Alone

You having cats makes
Me worry about you less;
Ernest F. Bierschenk.

Honestly, It's A Number Larger Than I Care To Remember

Lots of old folks have
Died since I started working
At OKC First.

Hopefully All Of You Have Had A Blessed All Saints' Day Today

God, for those gone on
We give thanks; in your mercy,
We are given saints.
