I’ve been a little busy working on a new website devoted to my photography, Dots on Screen. Now that it’s up and running the way I want I can hopefully spend some time fixing things up around here and get back to writing!

Schwetty Balls

Posted on March 25th, 2009

FYI

I really, really hate when I’m forced to spend 14 hours straight sitting in an uncomfortable, pleather, wheeled office chair with a broken height-adjustment lever. Every time I’m allowed to stand up for a three second break I make the “peeling sticker” sound as my butt leaves the seat. And my underwear keeps riding up.

That is all.

Drowning Haiku

Work consumes my life
Breaking point approaches fast
I wish it would stop

Stay On Target

Posted on March 19th, 2009

Seen in a restaurant’s bathroom.

We aim to please.
You aim too, please!

I don’t know why, but I laughed so hard I couldn’t aim.

The Circus

Posted on March 12th, 2009

More true now than ever.

Call it new technology
and they use it to burn
And they show no concern
Work for their prosperity
while the big wheels turn
Now it’s too late to learn
Don’t upset the teacher
though we know he lied to you
Don’t upset the preacher
he’s gonna close his eyes for you
And it’s a shame that you’re so afraid
Just a worker waiting in the pouring rain
Putting back the pieces of a broken dream
Putting back the pieces of a broken dream

Father worked in industry
Now the work has moved
on and the factories gone
See them sell your history
Where once you were strong
and you used to belong
There was once a future for a working man
There was once a lifetime for a skillful hand
Yesterday
And it’s a shame that you’re so afraid
Just a worker waiting in the pouring rain
Putting back the pieces of a broken dream
