“We’re only immortal for a limited time…”
comics and animation, everyday glory, geekery, news and info, style March 27th, 2008Thursday – 27 March 2008
Another NBN Thursday begins…
…with snow.
Apparently, Mother Nature didn’t get the “It’s Spring” memo.
Mother Nature looked
Upon the land and she smiled
Silently, snow fell.
I figured that it was better than getting all bent out of shape about the fact that it was snowing. Again. Even though it’s Spring.
Embracing the technology of the day, I sent my father a text message rather than call him with the news. His response: “….only light rain here! ENJOY… and do not send ANY snow this way!” I love my dad. He cracks me up.

- I read this article and had the following pop into my head:
There was a cop from Naugatuck
Using Workers’ Comp to “earn” a buck
Video’ed by the news
Running in high-heeled shoes
He was busted for fraud – what bad luck. - Building your Perfect Business Wardrobe
- Ducks sleep with one eye open.

- Every Little Thing He Does Needs Reboot
- I just mentioned to SaraRules the haiku above. When I copy/pasted it to her, she commented: “You have talents I was completely unaware of.” I asked if she remembered the USAToday shirt I have; she did. I told her that I won that for a haiku. She asked if I still had the haiku; I didn’t… but I had the power of the Interwebs at my fingertips. It turns out that USAToday has archived some of the entries from their “Daily Haiku” contests. I found my entry:
Haiku for Jan. 23: “Winner”
What urges us on?
Fame, pride, glory and honor.
The drive to succeed. - For Tyranist: Bathtub with built-in bookcase
- I’ve been playing poker on PokerStars recently.
- Welcome to Earth-2
- Countdown to Final Crisis: 5 surprised me, in many ways.
- All-Star Superman did not. (I mean this in a good way – it was another good story from Morrison.)
Namaste.

I usually tend to be an optimist, EXCEPT when it comes to snow. Maybe it’s because I was born in Cali, and am more of a water-baby than a snow-bunny. 8)
Regardless, your haiku was beautiful.
