I never had a #^(%![& chance!

August 15, 2009 by Mr Dave AC

Two years ago, I sold my soul to a job which initially presented a good opportunity. Looking back I can see how that while chasing these opportunities, I was really investing in an empty hope which eventually shattered my dreams and sent me spiraling in an endless lacuna coil. I cannot say I wasted the last two years. The question is, how does it all fit in to get me to where I wanted to be back in 2007 before the lacuna coil started.

I still don’t feel you haunting me

February 24, 2009 by Mr Dave AC

For all the days, I sat by you,

and learned from all the things you do,

for all the days I worked by you,

and learned from all the stuff you do.

I still don’t feel you haunting me,

and in your search, I know you’ll see

this window to a writer’s mind,

and you will see I’m doing fine.

For all the days I played your games,

I learned to game throughout those days.

For all those days you played your games

on me, unhaunted I remain.

I milked your cash cow like a pro,

your bank I made to overflow.

I felt the strain upon my soul,

for your sake I was dying slow.

I worked my health out and fell ill,

you found it hard to eat that pill.

I vomited while you chipped wood,

I guess my best work wasn’t good.

I still don’t feel you haunting me,

but if your search brought you to see

this window to a writer’s pen,

my memory still haunts you then.

Mr Dave to economy: You cannot stop me!

February 21, 2009 by Mr Dave AC

Yeah a little attitude here, but I think I deserve the right to after all I have accomplished. 2008 saw the worst economic crisis in, well, the worst one since I entered the game. Despite that, I managed to snare not one but two pay raises, upgrade to a better job during a 6.5% unemployment period, buy my own pad, rent a greenhouse, and get accepted into the UConn Master Gardener program. And that’s one thing the economy cannot take from me, the ability to learn. I am in this game to win, and when the economy comes back, I will be a serious force to be reckoned with, not that lil kid that bosses used to play mind games with. Master gardener has shown me a lot of things that I need to learn, to fill in those “gray areas” where when someone asks something, I have to turn to a thesaurus to find a new way of saying “I don’t know.” The other benefit is, the master gardener certificate will put gamers in their place. I don’t get down with the whole idea that a college degree is everything and experience isn’t. I guess its because a college degree is a proven fact while experience is ambigious. However, im my case, the Master Gardener certificate will prove in words what I already know in action, plant skills.
