Belated March Madness

Hello out there. Been awhile I knoes. I suppose someone should be
pointing out the obvious, since I'm on March break I should have a buttload of time to update my blog. Well you're partially right, I do have some projects to do, but I have the time yeah. So why haven't I yet you ask? Funny you should mention, I was house sitting for the last three days, and they had a computer there that I believe predates electricity. It was quite slow and therefore I opted to wait until I got back here to do any blog related activities. Anyway, I hope to have some pictures up soon, but not today, perhaps later this week. Alas I must attend work today, my only respite that I have given my two weeks notice, and start training at Ticket Pro on Saturday. So pray for that if ye be so inclined. I'm a little nervous, it's a fairly big change after two years of comfortable drudgery and familiar BS. Oh I almost forgot, I started writing poems on the bus any time that I'm not drawing on the bus. The exercise has produced what I daresay is my best poem yet. It's not yet titled, but I was leaning towards The Business of Making a Killing. Here it is:

I remember yesterday like it was tommorrow
it blurs around the edges like an unfamiliar sorrow
I woke up in a pool of sweat, I've forgotten who I am
And I just can't shake the feeling that I'm sinking in the sand
I get up wash off the evidence, apply a scent to hide my own
And I marvel at the tyranny of this cage of flesh and bone
I stand there for a second then it's time to choose a mask
There's a brand name and identity that is suited to each task
I grab my briefcase and a coffe as I'm headed out the door
Another soldier sent to slaughter in a neverending war
When I return covered in crimson my hair matted to my skin
You would never recognize me in the state that I am in
In my skull my head is pounding and my eyes will close no more
But i'll sleep sound in the knowledge: another win for status quo

Not bad eh? I'm gonna post more later, I'm still working on that
poem from before Joey. It's proving to be a challenge fitting it all
together the way I want. I'll post it as soon as I'm done.
Should have some more stuff up this weekend.

Take it easy,

Matt X
