Lyrics Quiz
He’s
in her heart on the floor
Thinking
that I’ll never know
I’ll
be up, going through crazy (poop) I did for you
In
my mind, in my head, seeing all the words unsaid
Honey,
honey, I am never coming home again

I constantly have to
remind myself not to worry about things that are out of my control because if I
do- and I tend to- I lose all my marbles. Every last one.
Each individual problem
that arises feels like a geyser erupting. When I have one catastrophic problem,
the little guys in my head can just roll a boulder over it. Done. Gone. But
when a lot of these grand scale problems go off, erupt, there’s instant panic
inside my head. It’s a lot of pent up pressure, a lot of turbulent water, a lot
of vision impairing steamvapor. We can’t get rocks to all of these! The people
inside me shout. The shortage of boulders freaks me out. Now what? The little
guys all look at each other, exchanging nervous glances, anxiously pulling at
their own collars trying to find a solution. Any solution. Any boulder.
But here’s the reality-
Maybe geysers going off isn’t so bad, maybe sometimes you’ve just got to
let them happen. Besides, its scientifically proven that eventually the water
supply will deplete and the geyser system will cool down. That’s not to say
that what you should do is pop open a sprite and watch them all go off at your
mercy but its about making sure you palliate the most beastly of the geysers
and let the other ones be. There measly. Triage the geysers.
Nobody tells geysers when
to go off, when to erupt, when to stay dormant. They’re out of our control.
However, as sporadic as they can be, there’s beauty in knowing they
go off whenever they please. Nobody’s pressing a button or pulling a string for
Old Faithful. And there’s sincere beauty in that.
I think that for me, no matter what geysers go off
I just have to remember that I don’t need to get a boulder to ALL of them
or else I’ll expend all my energy trying to do the impossible. Sometimes its
best to let geysers simply do their thang.

FEBRUARY ENDS THIS WEEK!
The
shortest month of the year. We’ll be sad to see it go.
POETRY QUOTE OF THE DAY:
FROM THE LOVE SONG OF J. ALFRED PRUFROCK, WHICH IS A DARN GOOD POEM
Shall
I part my hair behind? Do I dare to eat a peach?
I
shall wear white flannel trousers, and walk along the beach.
I
have heard the mermaids singing, each to each.
I
do not think they will sing for me.
I
have seen them riding seaward on the waves
Combing
the white hair of the waves blown back
When
the wind blows the water white and black.
We
have lingered in the chambers of the sea
By
sea-girls wreathed with seaweed red and brown
Till
human voices wake us, and we drown.
FONT OF THE DAY:
Rockwell!
Word
of the Day:
kvetch (v): to complain.
