congratulations
we've made it to february 8, 2009!!!!!!
we've been waiting our whole lives
for this day
and now it's finally here
everything we previously experienced
has led up to this moment
what a relief
that we've gotten this far
so now what?
we're here
we've arrived
what do we do?

i'm gripped by indecision
and sluggishness
i just sit here
staring out the window
at the fat squirrel in the backyard
i feel like him
i stare off into space
my son crawls back in bed with his sick mother
i wonder what i should do with this time
an entire afternoon
that will vanish in a blink
i look up at the clock
11
i've got 6 hours
until...
i'm always counting down the hours
until i have to be somewhere
do something
be responsible
be productive
be
be
be...
ok
well
this is the day i've been working up to my entire life
right?
so i've gotta snap out of it
and get it together man
go for a run
make some lunch
enjoy my son
help my wife
be happy
not watch the clock
be here now

that's all i've got
