i would say that most people here at the office today are flying at half-mast, as though they were in mourning

perhaps they are, perhaps they are in mourning, mourning the excitement that was yesterday, trying to squeeze in as much outdoor fun as they could between t’storms and rain, and mourning the thrill of boozy wobbling while watching the skies becoming emblazoned with many many thousands of dollars, ah yes, money to burn, and the feeling that just for a moment we all were together celebrating, feeling again like little children oohing and aahing…

fade to black, cue alarm clock, drive somewhat less congested roads in autonomic fashion to cubitainers with all the rest who couldn’t get out of having to work today — damnable wednesday holidays!!!

dude, let’s bug the f**k outta here and get some hair o’the dog! first round’s on me!

i am worth about the same as a 10 year old honda, $4675!

rain

Filed under: dark — groggyjava @ 5:52 pm

the rain this morning has been falling at a constant droning clip, in a breeze just on the lazy side of brisk. the breeze was cold and nagging, the feeble attempt of the dying winter to reach out her icy fingers from across her arctic grave to remind me of her love. i will miss her every icy breath, the way she drives me to blanket sanctuary the way she robs me of anger, the way she soothes.

when the fires of sweat-soaked summer start suffocating me i will stick my head in the freezer and dream of my beloved winter wind and of this very morning.
