Exhuming Creativity

Yes, that was a play on words - the creative juices are flowing (you might say I'm exuding creativity) and I am posting a new entry, thereby resurrecting this blog (exhuming it).

Okay, that was weak. It's 12:29. I'm smack dab in the middle of a bunch of work, and I'm sleep-deprived (and, by staying up this late when I have to wake up for work at 6:30 am, I am not doing anything that is conducive to solving this problem). Give me a break.

Anyway, I hadn't written any haikus in a while and inspiration struck me, so, without further ado, I bring you...

BRIEF SKETCHES OF LIFE EVENTS THAT HAVE OCCURRED SINCE I LAST BLOGGED

I. Ode to Facebook Friend Requests
Just because you know
Forty-seven of my friends
Does not make us buds.

II. Ode to Friends Who Plan Me a Surprise Birthday Party
Michelle and David
Are clearly super awesome
I so love you guys.

III. Ode to Getting Stuck Behind George H.W. Bush's Limo on a Narrow Maine Road
Just driving along...
Uh-oh, security car!
Better turn around.

IV. Ode to the Warm Weather
I love that you're here
Please never leave me again
Flip-flops make my life.

V. Ode to My New Job
Walking to my job
Takes me longer than doing
The actual work.*

*But I like it.

Oooh, I'd better get back to doing some real work; it's getting late. Plus, my fingers are cramping from all the 5-7-5 syllable counting I'm doing. Peace out.
