27 Apr 4705 - The Common Problem Is Problems

Tonight was Dungeons & Dragons night, as is every Friday, barring the myriad of hangups that I have between my own life and players lives: people sick, me sick, parents in town, obligations, marriage proposals over sushi. All kinds of things. My problems there are the greatest any man could ask for. If the most difficult decision I have is how to keep my friends entertained and enthralled with my imaginary world, then I'm cruising. Naturally this isn't the case, but a man tends to focus on his vanity projects and the low-risk problems and ignore the bigger problems for as long as he can. Or at least I do. So here's to ignoring the important things, the second noblest activity of them all:

Free, venal, and verifiable,
  pocket queens and live feeds,
  fields of fields. Mountains beyond mountains.
Neverending endeavors,
  effortless breaths over instant messages,
  head to head. Seventh about a six-deck shoe.
About, about in reel and rout,
And one-two, one-two, and through and through,
Sweet honey home, Hawaiian island retreat.
I'll meet you halfway when I plant my feet.
