On 12 Rhyming Couplets.

Minot1

A dark and dreary night upon the Erie.
Stood a sailor, quite weary.

Battered by the spume and spray.
He bitterly looked upon the bay.

Much of his life gone.
All that remained was his brawn.

Opportunities missed.
Loves gone unkissed.

He saw fellow seamen come and go.
While he maintained the status quo.

He believed his luck would change.
He would come out in this exchange.

Seasons came and seasons went.
Never realizing just how much time was spent.

One day, he thought!
This will not be all for naught!

Just one great catch.
Then I will have enough to meet my match.

She is only interested in the rich.
She will then be the one I hitch.

As he enters his twilight years.
And looks upon them with flowing tears.

He gazes upon the Sea.
Realizing he will never be free.

On Traffic Destruction.

I feel I am woefully uneducated in traffic science and thus unable to give an accurate, real, analysis of the situation. Under these circumstance I will resort to the recesses of my mind and come up with a superhero scenario in which public and private property are callously destroyed without any thought to their fellow man. This also does quite a number on traffic.

Our weary, downtrodden traveler finds himself in yet another one of the constant traffic jams that plagues this grand metropolis. Listening to the drone of the radio, wishing he was home just so he could stretch out and prepare for the onslaught of the next mundane workday, he spots a glint, or maybe a sparkle out of the corner of his eye. Suddenly, CRASH! A giant piece of road has found its way into the side of a tractor-trailer. “What the hell was that?” asks our driver. Not a moment passes when a man ensconced in spandex and donning a cape comes soaring through the air grasping a angry, but determined super scientist complete with robotic armor. They continued their heated battle raining bits of concrete and rebar throughout the heavily crowded highway. Finally, the villain was subdued and the hero received his adoration from the crowd below. The problem was the passageway to our now irritated traveler’s home was heavily blockaded. Defeated, he pulled the lever to his seat, turned the radio off, and shut his eyes, longing for the comforts of home.

Viva La Impov!

Almost all of my posts have been videos lately so I wanted to change things up. This has been in the works for a while, but I am happy to share that I am in an improv group. The group is finally starting to gain some traction after about 6 months of planning and practicing. I will give just general details here because we have a website so you can gush over us from there. Basically, as it stands now, we have 4 members: Tim, Mike, Katie, and myself. We are going to hold auditions soon so we can hopefully grow that number. I am extremely excited about the potential of this. I have wanted to do improv for a while now and to finally have the opportunity is exhilarating. I am sure I will be posting more about it as time unfolds, but check out our website for more details.
