This is the sound of settling.

Today was a miserable day.
Failed a test.
People at work pissed me off.
Customers and employees.

How many times in one day
can someone hear,
"Get your hair cut."
Too many for fingers
and toes to count.
Give it up already.
Has it occurred to you
that maybe I'm not listening?

I have decided to set a limit
on how much television
I can watch in a day.
One hour.
Unless there is something on
I must watch.
I will no longer browse the channels
and settle with watching
the best of the moment.

Last night around 12
I realized how much time I wasted
watching that box,
and all the other things
I wish I had done.
I will no longer let that happen.

I want to take out a loan
for about a thousand dollars,
and buy all the cds that I want
and have wanted forever.
I want to broaden and expand
my musical tastes.

Oh yeah, I hate school.
But I think in my future
I want to do something
that has to do with
the whole recording process.
There is a class at HCC next semester
that has to do with that,
but I need to find out who the teacher is
because he has to sign something to allow you
to take the class
because it is limited to about 10 people.
I should do that soon.
