More Good Reads To Come!

Okay, so I'm really excited because I've written some good posts including a two parter about me losing my virginity. Trust me when i say that it was not the fantasy every teenage boy imagines. Also, I had a wonderfully terrible Friday night that I can't wait to write about. That post will include a cute drunk blonde tackling me in the mud and kissing me on my neck right after she vomited all over the place. Also, I was in the midst of calling yellow cab at the time. It was a gross ordeal all the way around. All Dick Navis could do was laugh at the situation we had gotten into to. Lots to come but unfortunately I have to clean house and then I'm off to the Wizards game. I leave you with another great poem. I saw so many wealthy and seemingly happy people last night at a charity event but somehow I noticed that maybe all those wealthy people weren't as happy as they appeared.

RICHARD CORY

by: Edwin Arlington Robinson (1869–1935)

Whenever Richard Cory went down town,
We people on the pavement looked at him:
He was a gentleman from sole to crown,
Clean favored, and imperially slim.

And he was always quietly arrayed,
And he was always human when he talked;
But still he fluttered pulses when he said,
“Good-morning,” and he glittered when he walked.

And he was rich,—yes, richer than a king,—
And admirably schooled in every grace:
In fine, we thought that he was everything
To make us wish that we were in his place.

So on we worked, and waited for the light,
And went without the meat, and cursed the bread;
And Richard Cory, one calm summer night,
Went home and put a bullet through his head.
