"Not to bring up something upsetting, but when you leave here today, you may go through a period of unemployment. My suggestion is this: Enjoy the unemployment. Have a second cup of coffee. Go to the park. Read Walt Whitman. Walt Whitman loved being unemployed. I don't believe he ever did a day's work in his life. As you may know, he was a poet. If a lot of time goes by and you continue to be unemployed, you may want to consider announcing to all appropriate parties that you have become a poet."

miss heartache /// castlewood canyon


oh please tell me what i want to hear you say

that you love me for good reason

with no need to be repaid

i'll be here at home just floating through my day

wondering if things will change at all

if my heart will last this way

careful what i do now

you've always been a friend

since the first night that i met you

found you free as winter wind

i want to see more of you

i'd love to see you around more often

maybe you could help me learn

to love you more for what you could be

well i know how you feel

miss heartache, mistreated, and misled

it's best to not give up

just go at it a different way instead

you're tired of waiting

in your sunny waking world

for some man out of your dreams

to wear you like a string of pearls

---------------------------

my fingers are so very weak, laying beneath the rock

spread below the mammoth trees of castlewood

blistered hands and scraped up knees

i'm learning there's no easy way in this world

the sands were once a mountain battered,

blasted by the spray of waves and four winds

my feet can't quite grip

to scale this seems impossible to me

but i know i'm wrong if i sing that same old song

about how hard this sweet world is crashing down on me
