I Have A Rendezvous With Death - Alan Seeger
I have a rendezvous with Death
At some disputed barricade,
When Spring comes back with rustling shade
And apple-blossoms fill the air--
I have a rendezvous with Death
When Spring brings back blue days and fair.
It may be he shall take my hand
And lead me into his dark land
And close my eyes and quench my breath--
It may be I shall pass him still.
I have a rendezvous with Death
On some scarred slope of battered hill,
When Spring comes round again this year
And the first meadow-flowers appear.
God knows 'twere better to be deep
Pillowed in silk and scented down,
Where love throbs out in blissful sleep,
Pulse nigh to pulse, and breath to breath,
Where hushed awakenings are dear . . .
But I've a rendezvous with Death
At midnight in some flaming town,
When Spring trips north again this year,
And I to my pledged word am true,
I shall not fail that rendezvous.

in other news, 4 below zero tonight is the forecast!
the cold is making me seriously fucking angry! on the upside, i will be sleeping a little closer to the wife this evening in an attempt to stay warm, which will probably only lead to one thing - yah, you guessed it - another kid! 
i really need to get down home and see my grandparents, i haven't been down there for awhile and i miss them something awful. if you're wandering where down home is it's Spencer, Indiana - about 15 miles west of Bloomington. it's one hell of a party place, every drug you could imagine- if that's your thing. everybody gets drunk on the weekend and it's down home fun at its best, i've been to parties in the middle of the woods, in barns, hog-roast's (or as we call them - pig picken's)
wait, i was thinking about my grandparents- how did i get into all of that?! oh well, anyway my grandpa is not doing well and i really should get down that way soon.
my kids are acting as if they are seriously in need of some riddelin, i let them each have some m&m's and they usually don't get much sugar, so they are just being plain retarded right now! they are trying to see how many stairs they can jump down w/o getting hurt - GOTTA GO 4 NOW!!!
