Life as I know it...

So, I was a bit bored and had some free time (or at least some time I chose to use, whether or not I should've been doing something else). I decided to jot down some thoughts on a few of the simple things that keep me going on a daily basis....or keep me from going, depending on my mood. :)

CHOCOLATE
Oh sweet chocolate
Your creamy decadence melting blissfully in my mouth
Seems to also melt away my cares and worries
Leaving me
With nothing but happiness

Unfortunately
That happiness is only as long-lasting
As the sweetness contained in your luscious taste
With a final swallow
The sweetness is finished
And the worries return

Time for another piece...


DIET SODA
In whatever form is on hand
Be it Pepsi, Mt. Dew, Dr. Pepper, or even Coke
So long as that magical "DIET" precedes the title
Even the lesser-known sources suffice

This sustaining nectar
In one long draught
Washes away stresses of the day
Gives an added boost
And an exciting tingle on the way down

Those calorie-free bubbles
Popping and fizzling
Sooth the soul and excite the senses
And give me strength

At least enough to take the next drink...


MY MACBOOK, MY FRIEND
Oh wondrous technology
Keeping me company at the oddest hours
Offering endless amounts
Of mind-soothing browsing
Blogging
Email and games

Always there for me
Even going so far
As to sleep by my side each night
Never hogging the blankets
Or snoring too loudly

So seldom a problem
So long as thy companion
internet access
Is in working order
Thy possibilities are endless

And yet at my command...
