Moleskine Alternatives

I’ve wanted a Moleskine forever, but they’re a bit pricey, I can’t find them locally, and I don’t want to pay added shipping.

It All Kicks Off Tonight

I’ve done it.
After a ton of procrastination, I’ve finished the intro to the HDL world setting that I’ve been jotting notes down for months now.

Nursery Rhymes for Darker Times: The Loo

When I go to The Loo
I hear it make scary sounds
Our Loo is just a hole
Dug way deep in the ground
Every time I take a poo
It drops for maybe a mile
Then comes the scary sounds
The poo eating creature smiles


Nursery Rhymes for Darker Times: Pitter Pat

Pitter pat, tit for tat
An eye of newt
Tail of cat
Warthog’s nose
A vole’s toes
Firstborn son
Just for fun

Nursery Rhymes for Darker Times: The Wood

Little girl, little girl
Do no go into the wood
Dear old man, dear old man

For goblins and specters there be
Dear old man, dear old man
They are nothing when compared to me


Heart’s Desire

Heart’s desire
Lifelong
Feeling, knowing this is as good as it gets
Loved
For all time, you and me
Perhaps even longer
This is what’s worth living


Let Me Feel

Fail to see
Fail to breathe
Fail to know what’s going on
I can’t wait anymore
Open my eyes and let me feel
Let me feel


Nursery Rhymes for Darker Times: Giggles the Clown

Giggles the Clown has come to town
Upon his face, an eternal frown
A twisted smile turned upside-down
Giggles the Clown brings many things
Eerie pies and rubber rings
Enormous bats with latex wings
Giggles the Clown loves to play
Step inside his clown car today
Your smile is the only thing you’ll pay


Nursery Rhymes for Darker Times: Homeless Harry

Under a bridge lives Homeless Harry
Homeless Harry is a homeless man
Under a bridge lives Homeless Harry
Who eats his dinner from a garbage can
Under a bridge lives Homeless Harry
Who loves when the kids come to visit
Under a bridge lives Homeless Harry
Eating well tonight, a leg of Bridgit
