as i sit now

... i a procrastinating. in essence (just for you ... yes you ... because you love that word. yes, that was sarcasm.) ... prolonging that which i am currently using to set me free on the rest of my endeavors.

i a disappointing myself. if you only understood how focused ... fixated .. obsessed i can be with things that provide me immense joy and immediate results ... sigh. if only i could make that work for school as well. meanwhile, one of my students may very well be stumbling along my blog now ... losing faith.

PSA: school is cool. don't quit. ever. -_- ... it's worth it in the end?

what i want: to cook for a wife and children ... to be loved in utter reciprocity ... to be somewhere planning someone's event ... or promoting some excellent production ... or brainstorming new ways to get money ... (like ... wait no! these are my ideas! not yours!) ... in order to save and invest and make more money ... and make sure my kids understand how they can do the same. ... or for the sole purpose of living it up like jay and bey ... whatever.

i must will myself to write. i can do it. i am smart. i care ... about these issues ... (ok, i give less than two fucks about medieval literature) ... but i care about the rest of what i am doing.

fear is nothing. i can get this done.


... thanks for tuning in for the pep talk. hope we dont have to do this again. ...

My favorite portion ...

of Ovid's "Orpheus and Eurydice" .... if you are not familiar with Metamporphoses, Eurydice has been stolen and assumedly going to be turned into a love slave ... Orpheus descends to hell to retrieve her ... annnd go! ...


So Orpheus then
received his wife; and Pluto told him he
might now ascend from these Avernian vales
up to the light, with his Eurydice;
90 but, if he turned his eyes to look at her,
the gift of her delivery would be lost.
They picked their way in silence up a steep
and gloomy path of darkness. There remained
but little more to climb till they would touch
95 earth's surface, when in fear he might again
lose her, and anxious for another look
at her, he turned his eyes so he could gaze
upon her. Instantly she slipped away.
He stretched out to her his despairing arms,
100 eager to rescue her, or feel her form,
but could hold nothing save the yielding air.
Dying the second time, she could not say
a word of censure of her husband's fault;
what had she to complain of -- his great love?
105 Her last word spoken was, "Farewell!" which he
could barely hear, and with no further sound
she fell from him again to Hades.
