I have a bit of a block,
you see, going on right here.
Can’t get anything working, I fear.
Nothing seems to want to unlock
and not one thing is left in stock.

What do you think you would say
if you saw me digging away?
I tell you, if I could

Stalking is now bad – unless we’re talking Facebook stalking
I grew up in a time when stalking and obsession were selling points for romantic plots. “Oh, look! He wore her down until she said yes. They were surely meant to be together.”
I now live in a time where even writing that sentence made my fingers cringe.
We have learned (hopefully) that stalking is not romantic. Overly obsessing on anything is not healthy. What were romance storylines are now creepy thriller plot lines.
So, to reiterate today’s stance: stalking is bad.

Judging from the title of this post you are probably thinking this is the most unnecessariest of unnecessary posts. All you need to do is make a person angry. And I agree with you.

Think I’m being hard on myself? That’s kind of you but I’m about to share a story that proves my point. Unfortunately, it’s all true.

Stop by Jameson.
You’ll get some whiskey
while on your tour.”
Okay but I am a teetotaler.

Not sure if this one counts. I was attempting an Ae Freislighe style of poetry but it was hard. When I finally finished, I went to bed and as I drifted off to sleep, I realized I didn’t get the dunadh! Which means, it was not in fact done. Not sure if my dunadh works but this is my first attempt.
On record as mythical
I walked around Dublin
