Richard Cory at the opera, Richard Cory at a show.
And the rumor of his parties and the orgies on his yacht!
Oh, he surely must be happy with everything he's got.

He freely gave to charity, he had the common touch,
And they were grateful for his patronage and thanked him very much,
So my mind was filled with wonder when the evening headlines read:
"Richard Cory went home last night and put a bullet through his head."

:D


IT'S A SONG?

I had no idea. Hahahaha.

I still remember reading that poem in English class in high school and being all smug that I knew the ending while everybody else was all, "WHAT!!!" when they read it. :lol:

...Written by Paul Simon in 1965 (performed by Simon and Garfunkel on the album Sounds of Silence) based on the similarly titled 1897 poem Richard Cory by Edwin Arlington Robinson.

TaDa!!!

Good luck with it, it's one of those things you will need to know exactly what to do to do anything with it.

I've never used it, but it is the OS of choice for computer nerds. I'll stick with Windows, and hopefully real soon Windows 7 will be running on my laptop.

So I just got back from playing Racquetball at UB.

I had different competition today than normal, this competition being much better. It was so much fun! Lost two of three games but every rally and point was just rediculous.

It's amazing, and this is not just in sports, but it seems that when your put against someone better than yourself, your playing level rises some as well.
My friend whom I normally play is a little worse than I, yet when I play him the games are generally close. Today I played someone who was excellent, and because of that my game seemed to rise.
...sort of like how the Sabres can lose to some of the shittiest teams sometimes, yet pull out outstanding performances against the toughest of teams.

Just some food for thought. Btw, anyone around here play racquetball?

the same thing happens to me when i play hockey with my friends. im better then they are...actually im a good deal better the most of them...anyway, when we play its close. i dont pull a gretzky and make them all look foolish but i generally can get away without going all out and its fun. but when someone better shows up (like someone whos played on an actual team) i love it. everyone else bitches because the new people, more or less, have their way with them. for me, having to actually play defense and keep up with someone is a lot more fun.

I'm going to have issues just staying at one workplace and living in one area longer than a year... Unless I one day have the privilege of building my dream house on a huge piece of land in the hills and mountains someday, which won't ever happen because I shall be dead broke the rest of my life... can't ever seem to get bored in beautiful places... but cities aren't beautiful in that way... ugh.
