I tried to embed, however, in a sense, I just wet the bed.


I am up early again, watching the fields shift under great sheets of fog.
I have some homework I could be doing, things that are not due in the immediate, but could be completed to ease the long haul. Maybe in a few minutes, right now I need some of my time.

The Globe Gazette stole another story idea from me. That is three in a month. Now, it is more understandable, seeing as I no longer work for their parent company, however, it is still bush league and offensive to me.
In yesterday's Forest City Summit and Britt News-Tribune I wrote a 700 word article about the current condition of North Iowa crops. In the story I gave a detailed analysis of the statistics involved, interviewed several prominent people, and ended up writing a damn good story.
It ran on the front of each paper yesterday. If you do not believe me, or are just interested, follow this link:

Anyway, they have also pitched stories I completed on Thorpe Park and a local coffee shop in the favor of sending out another reporter to interview the same people and waste the time and money associated with that. Maybe I can't write. It doesn't matter, I can write well enough to study bio-chemistry, and at this point that is all that really matters.

Yesterday, as I was pacing through the noon-time traffic surge on Mason City's back streets running an errand or two, a strange thing happened.
I had started the drive listening to "My Time" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y1JDaX4mwVI) off the new Fab album, but the shuffle kicked in and totally made me look bad.
I was sporting a cardigan sweater I picked up at Banana Republic last weekend and my glasses. I was drinking a cup of coffee and looking all sorts of the prehistoric emo kid I once very well may have been. All of a sudden, across the speakers came the sounds of the ultimate sweater band, Weezer, and more importantly the song Holiday.
I think I could use one.

Anyway, I have homework to be getting at and a day to conquer.
