One of these days...

I'll remember that this blog is here and requires updating. With more than poems, that is. Hell, I don't even know if this thing is ever read. Someone leave me a comment and let me know! 

Oh, how things have changed over the past year or so. J and I are no longer together, there was a rather messy relationship/breakup with a friend of mine, I just started a new job at a bank after having waited tables, left waiting tables for retail, left retail for a doctor's office, was laid off from said office, back to waiting tables, and now, finally, out of the restaurant business again.

I've been talked into writing a book, so I am now attempting to continue with the story I had posted on here ages ago. God help me.

That's about it in a nutshell... There's not a whole lot else going on. Well, there is, but not much worth telling. 

So, until next time...

Invictus

Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll.
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.

William Ernest Henley
