Feeling like poetry today...

Edwin Arlington Robinson - Richard Cory

Whenever Richard Cory went down town, 
We people on the pavement looked at him: 
He was a gentleman from sole to crown, 
Clean favored, and imperially slim. 
 
And he was always quietly arrayed, 
And he was always human when he talked; 
But still he fluttered pulses when he said, 
"Good-morning," and he glittered when he walked. 
 
And he was rich—yes, richer than a king—
And admirably schooled in every grace: 
In fine, we thought that he was everything
To make us wish that we were in his place. 
 
So on we worked, and waited for the light, 
And went without the meat, and cursed the bread; 
And Richard Cory, one calm summer night, 
Went home and put a bullet through his head.

Back after a looong time!

I got depressed. I got better. I got depressed again. I thought I was going to get better once more. I waited... Didn't happen. I figured I have to learn to live with that. The funny thing is life IS wonderful and beautiful and all that crap but life can also be a bitch. Deal with it. Or not. My glass will always be half empty. Notice how you won't like me less because of that! :P
(Surprise, surprise! The smileys stay, no matter what!)

What have I been up to? Well, I'm glad you ask! To begin with, I got writer's block (I'm telling you, I'll be shocked if I ever finish that novel...), met up with an old friend, read "The Island" by V. Hislop, saw "Eclipse", read "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies" by Jane Austen (well, duh!) and Seth Grahame-Smith, saw "Inception", read a couple of other books and currently going through "exam season". Life couldn't be any better! Yay!

How much do you NOT care?
