Arrrrrgh!!!
The Daily News
1 This is my third attempt at writing this morning's DN.
2 The first attempt had this poem all about me Dad, who is currently dealing with bone cancer, and all that includes.
3 I originally had found this fun poem I wrote about walking down the neighborhood block with my Dad when I was about ten.
4 It was Sunday, and we walked down Helen Drive headed for church. We used to walk to church a lot.
5 Welp, I searched and searched and found this great poem I wrote about how much those days meant to me, but for whatever reason, it kept not saving, and fonts changed on me, so that really, it would have taken perhaps the entire evening to bring the poem to y'all. The trouble is, I just had a hard copy only, and the words were placed in various areas, sort of like some e. e. cummings sort of fanfare. I tried recreating it exactly on Xanga, but the letters kept jumping all over the place.
6 Trust me, I tried. It is a great poem, but as of this THIRD attempt at the DN, it is now 11:17, and I simply had to back down and rewrite at least something so we could all be regaled.
7 I imagine just me going through a buncha boushit is entertaining, but really? We lost a great poem and a salute to me Dad.
8 I even SAVED as I worked on it, but hit some button or other, and not one, but TWO DN's disappeard from the Earth, for watever it all means.
9 Dude, I'm exhausted, and a bit out of sorts. Worried a lot about my Dad, grades, and all the other natural shocks just caught up with me last night.
10 It took me about two hours to shape the poem and to put it out there for the Xanga crowd, but alas!
11 One stupid button and the entire DN shifted.
12 AnywayZ...
13 This is the DN that is simply an apolgy for the one that you never got.
14 Make sense?
15 It's all mebad, and yet...
16 Ah, nevermind.
17 I need sleep, and that's about it. Too much grading; too much stress. I'm actually fine now that I've accepted the fact that we won't have the poem, not for a while anyway.
18 It's nice I found it though. Always look at the bright side. I enjoyed reading it, because it was just about me and Dad walking to church on a lovely Sunday morning when I was ten.
19 Just telling what it is about makes me smile, and puts everything right. Hope it makes you smile too, 'cuz it was a nice day, and always was a nice day. Me, Dad, the bluebirds, and God. That's a smile!
20 Quality time with Dad, one of my favorite things.
21 We are no worse for that wear and tear.
22 You have a lovely day! = ) <---sideways smiley dude
23 Peace.
