Didn’t I already have a post called The Saga Concludes?
Anyway, here’s the deal. I was on the phone with Ryan. I’m going to Buffalo shortly for a job interview. After dissing my current work predicament, Ryan stated that my job interview will be “A New Hope.”
I responded by laughing and saying, “Danos Episode IV: A New Hope.”
Then… it struck me. A vision. My life has been quite like the Star Wars films.
Well… not really. That’s a pretty big stretch. I don’t know any creepy old guys with British accents, and I’m not a whiny farmhand who lives with his Aunt and Uncle.
I did, however, come with with, “Danos Episode I: The Child Menace.” I was a bit rowdy as a kid.
Then, of course, came “Danos Episode II: Attack of the Teachers.” I loved making my teachers lives hell, right around fourth grade.
Fast forward a few years like the movies, and all of a sudden, we’re up to “Danos Episode III: Revenge of the Bitches.” I came up with this because of all these girls breaking up with me left and right.
Buffalo (or Texas) really is my new hope. It’s a fantastic opportunity for me to get out of the OC. I don’t want to live here anymore.
What do you think Episodes V and VI could be?
So I haven’t written in a while. So sue me. It’s not like I ever said I’d try to get back into writing regularly, right?
Right?
Oh yeah… I did say that. A lot. Well, the mood struck me today. The systems were down at work, and there was not any conceivable way to work without our systems. If we can’t see our systems, we can’t see what’s wrong, now can we? Heh heh.
So while the systems were down, I decided to start a project for this blog that I’ve been considering for quite some time. Okay. A few months at best, but still…
The project? Bad poetry. I’m not a writer. I’ve never claimed to be a writer. So… I decided to write some bad poetry. They’re all haiku. Why haiku? Because it’s the only type of poetry I know the name for. Three lines, Five Syllables, Seven Syllables, Five Syllables. It’s generally a beautiful thing. And then I got a hold of it. Here below, is some of my bad haiku poetry:
What is the reason
That we hurt the ones we love
Greed? Money? Lampshade.
Every Thursday
I get the spaghetti at
Route Sixty-Nine. Yum.
Cave Story is fun
You play it as a robot
Good music too, man
Despite my laid back
Nature I like to wear ties
I think they suit me
I really like it
You know… the thing… that guy there…
What’s his name again?
I wonder if, uh…
You could bring that thing over
I really need it.
I think it’s time we
All sat down and had a few
Beers. It’s relaxing.
Mystery Science
Theater Three Thousand Rules!
The Best Show Ever
Is there a reason
That we haven’t bought a car?
Gotta get around!
You’re an ass, Dan. Yeah?
Yeah. You are. You’re such an ass.
Yeah, I know I am
If we didn’t eat
How would we know how good stuff
Like Mexican tastes?
Indemnities are
Little pieces of paper
We stick on our checks
The Burrito Place
I go to in Buffalo
Makes quite tasty food
