A trimmed list
fit neatly
in my
Palm Pilot
but it seemed to me
still too long
and I was
antsy
for action
so at 2am I examined
the items
respectfully
presented
to your kind consideration
herein:
- linuxize the company
- would take too long, and shed too much blood.
- lose weight
- I had already had dinner, I did five pushups and I nearly fainted.
- talk more to my SO
- she was not interested in nethack.
- watch the sun play across the fields of God
- did I mention that it was 2am ?
- node with higher quality
- but I WANT level 6, dammit ! and I already have enough XP but not enough nodes ...
- obsess less
- would I be on Everything if I could avoid obsession ?
- brush my teeth
- I can do that ...
- invest wisely
- I would need money first.
- spread happiness
- everybody in the house was asleep, and already as happy as they could be.
So, the list
having been
cleaned
of obvious impossibilities
unlikely desires
and collision with the status quo
I dedicated
all my energies
to the one task at hand
I brushed my teeth,
with passion
with gusto
with force
and,
with bleeding gums and shiny fillings
went to sleep.
