I recently recieved a letter from the state of California.  It was a jury duty summons.  I’ve been on a jury once in my life and I must say it’s really not that bad.  Though it does kind of get in the way as far as your daily life.

When I got the letter, I wasn’t too surprised.  This was the third time I had received one.  The last time, I was just within a year since my first summons, so I was able to get out of it.  This time, I had to call a number instead of visiting the court house.  So, I was a reserve juror, so to speak.  After calling back for the past few days, I found out this morning that I wasn’t needed and I had fulfilled my jury duty responsibility.  I was glad.  Though, it wouldn’t have been a bad thing to serve again.

It can be a pain, but everyone has to do it at some point.  Justice is what it’s all about!

And yes, I’m back from my little “unoffical” vacation!

I thought I’d post a little poem I finished just in time for Valentines day.  I’m not one to celebrate this holiday (never have any real reason to), but I thought I’d take my stab at writing poetry.  Keep in mind that I don’t write a lot of poems and it doesn’t rhyme.  It was just for fun!

It comes without warning,

To consume your heart,

To bring you closer together,

To unite.

Sometimes it ends in heartbreak,

It hurts so much,

It feels like a failure,

It feels like a loss.

But it’s worth it in the end,

What doesn’t kill makes us stronger,

What we learn is invaluable,

What we love will grow.

Do not feel foolish if you lose,

Do not hide or run away,

For as they say,

Better to not have loved.

The Fray’s new music album was released today, titled, “The Fray.”  I have to say how much I’ve enjoyed listening to their new songs so far.  I had to get the super duper version with lots of bonus content.  I really think it’s better then their first album, “How to Save a Life,” and I really like that album too.  What I like most so far are the sounds and melodies.  The words, well I’ll get them down eventually, but I always focus on the sounds of the instruments and how they flow together first.  I can tell already that I’m going to enjoy this album for a long, long time.

World of Warcarft.  I have gotten sucked into it again!  Not really surprising, since it’s really an innovative MMORPG.  It’s simple, yet dynamic and the interface works well.  I found the collectors edition on ebay and decided to bid on it.  I only over paid about 3 dollars, so I feel like I lucked out.  I’m playing the trial version of WotLK(Wrath of the Lich King) right now.  Of course, I may have to wait to start up my account after the free trial is over.

As for the site, I’m taking a break from it for a bit, but I’ll be sure to add another chapter of “Wade” soon enough.
