HAIKU! - God Bless You

Quite by accident, as I was surfing through the endless blogs on blogspot, I came across one in particular which was chalk full of haiku. Is it haiku or haiku's in that sentence, I don't really know.

Anyway, the creative juices started flowing, and I managed to churn out a few haiku of my own.

Keep in mind, I am a beginner at this. These are my first haiku. Don't be cruel, but I would encourage comments and retaliatory haiku of your own.

So here they are:


clutching one more smoke
craving craving light it up
momentary peace

echoes whisper back
deja vu the cousin known
simply speak again

coffee cakes cut thin
talking loudly boisterous fare
leave a healthy tip

morning's here at last
necessary rituals
get to work on time

it is killing me
coursing through my body parts
yet I cannot stop



And a video to go along with the poetry today.

This video has nothing to do with Haiku, but I liked it anyway. So here it is:

V - Now in words we can all understand!



And yet another unrelated video. This video deals with something I believe to be one of the greatest recipes ever invented!

Chicken Fried Bacon



To follow the last bacon themed video, here's a video involving something I need to do before I die. And quite honestly, I may die doing this.

And yet another culinary delight, created with love, and presented with class:

Egg and Bacon Ice Cream



And now a double delight video - two things I have now mentioned in my blog come together for this video - Chef Ramsay and bacon:

Music soothes the mind

Well, I finally moved into the modern era.....I have purchased an MP3 player! Specifically a Creative Labs - ZEN V PLUS. 2 gig.

I am starting up jogging/running in preparation for a half marathon in a couple months, and needed a more portable and shock resistant device than my current mini disc player.
Don't get me wrong, the mini disc is a sweet piece of electronics, but the MP3 player is just so much more adaptable for what I need it for.

So, I installed the software on my computer, and moved over some music files. I took my Zen to work today, but only had time to use it for about 10 minutes. So far so good.
I expect it will be a good unit, as Creative is a reputable company when it comes to sound production.

I will test out the boundaries of my new toy, and report back at a later time.
