This image is from a webcomic called Megatokyo, you should really check it out, the art and story is superb. I hope they don't sue me for using the pic.
The first snow of the year always makes me feel....I'm not sure, kind of unfinished. Like I am missing something, and I am purposely just passing it by. It feels kind of like I am just skimming my life today, I'm really just not fully there. I just watch the snow fall, and I feel calm, but not complete. I have control of all my faculties, and my problem solving and analytical skills are on par, but my thoughts just seem to lack substance. I just don't feel like anything is really that important. The normal fervor of the Communications Center is muted, like listening to the TV while falling asleep. Nothing is life shattering, and everything seems endless. I just turn and look out the window and see snow silently falling on all of the objects in my sight. Watching snow fall makes me kind of sad for some reason, hence the picture (Sad Girl in Snow, Copyright Fred Gallagher).
I think if I were a poet, I would write a forlorn verse today, if I were an artist, I would paint something depressingly inspired today, if I were a musician, I would play a haunting jazz riff today. I think snow sometimes becomes a muse for us. I feel oddly inspired to do something aesthetically pleasing, but despondent at the same time.
I have a wedding all weekend, which I am sure will be made more picturesque by having snow in it's downtown Chicago location. I think this is the only time I am actually looking forward to something that makes people in Chicago drive even worse just to make the moment more complete. Hah. It's times like this where you tap a mental foot. Life seems to slow down, even though you know they are moving full speed. It's an oddly amiable, yet crestfallen mood.
I don't think it's the snow that's making you feel depressed. Most of you're blogs before the snow involve some sort of anger or depression. You make Happy Time Eddy sad. At least you have a window to look out of. I work in the basement, or should I say "a dungeon." Yep, just me and gimp, I mean... uhh. Is that you in pic? You have weird eyes. What's that all about anyways in anime? Weird eyes and no nose. Happy Happy, Joy Joy.
Happy time Eddy asks "Where have all the cowboys gone"?
Oh you get me ready in your 56 chevy
Why don't we go sit down in the shade
Take shelter on my front porch
The dandy lion sun scorching,
Like a glass of cold lemonade
I will do laundry if you pay all the bills
CHORUS:
Where is my John Wayne
Where is my prairie song
Where is my happy ending
Where have all the cowboys gone
Why don't you stay the evening
Kick back and watch the TV
And I'll fix a little something to eat
Oh I know your back hurts from working on the tractor
How do you take your coffee my sweet
I will raise the children if you pay all the bills
Chorus
I am wearing my new dress tonight
But you don't, but you don't even notice me
Say our goodbyes
Say our goodbyes
Say our goodbyes
We finally sell the chevy
When we had another baby
And you took the job in tennessee
You made friends at the farm
And you joined them at the bar
Almost every single day of the week
Chorus
I will wash the dishes while you go have a beer
Where is my Marlboro man
Where is his shiny gun
Where is my lonely ranger
Where have all the cowboys gone
Yippee aw, yippee yea (3 times)
as your future attorney, i can say you won't be sued for using that picture...haha
There, there, little match girl.
Snow's like a blanket, just get out of bed when your ready. Sorry about yesterday bro.
