A Call To Hopless Romanitics

Okay, so one might think that being single, I would just ignore or bypass this holiday, as most single people do. However, and unfortunately, (for me I think), I am a hopeless romantic. Sooo, in light of the aforementioned and in celebration of this most special day, I thought I would post one of my favorite poems of all time.

Written by William Shakespeare in 1609, this poem, and this poet too for that matter, have the best handle on what I think love should look like, of anyone I have ever read. So, all that said, allow me to share with you "Sonnet 116".

Let me not to the marriage of true minds

Admit impediments. Love is not love

Which alters when it alteration finds,

Or bends with the remover to remove:

Oh, no! it is an ever-fixed mark,

That looks on tempests and is never shaken:

It is the star to every wandering bark,

Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.

Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks

Within his bending sickle's compass come;

Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,

But bears it out even to the edge of doom.

If this be error and upon me proved,

I never writ, nor no man ever loved.

Happy Valentines Day!

We did it!

'Nuff Said Right!?!

Go Colts

Okay, so I have finally done it. As I have been told for quite some time now to start a blog, mostly by old friends I don't see often, I have finally conceded and here it goes.

So the "big" game is tomorrow. Being from Indiana, now living in Chicago, with two die-hard Bears fans, it is starting to get a little ugly in the house here. My sister and her husband have gone to Miami for the game, which I am beyond jealous about. (Is that the kind of coveting God was talking about, like should I already be asking for forgiveness here)?I digress, back to the game. Anyway, I have placed bets with several people regarding the score tomorrow(i know, i know, more forgiveness), and I must admit, I am beginning to get a little worried. I am a broke college student and have placed significant faith in my Colts. Let me clarify, significant monetary faith in my Colts. When you do that, doesn't it all seem like a good idea at the time. Like when someone is bashing on the team that you love, you so faithfully come to their rescue with "I'll bet you twenty bucks they kick your butt!" You know, that can get a little sticky though, when everyone and I mean everyone, around you is rooting for the other team. So, I will be watching the game tomorrow on pins and needles. I will either have my next semester paid for - or I will be changing the numbers on my student loan packet. Okay, I exaggerate a little, but still, I could use some Colts fans to be on their knees tonight,...where I will be.
