Best Sellers List - Here I Come!....and a wholly seperate discussion on Change

While in the midst of my little literary fling that I am having I recieved quite an unexpected suprise. A couple of weeks ago I decided to enter a small portion of my rather large poem into a contest at poetry.com I didn't really expect to get anything back but a couple of days ago I recieved a letter from them stating that my poem has reached the semi-finals of the contest (I dont even know what I get if I win) but the more exciting news I think is that they are going to publish my poem in an upcoming book called Immortal Verses! I was really excited when I found out that they were going to publish my poem in a book that could be read by anyone. Plus on the next page will be a profile of me that I get to write myself. It should be way cool and I'm thrilled to be getting my copy whenever they send it to me! Sadly they are not going to pay me any royalty money from the selling of the book :( Until then I think I'm going to write a few more fancy ryhming lines and enter a few more contests maybe win a car or a all paid expense cruise to the bahamas and win enough cash to pay for college tuition for the next 10 years and maybe I can retire on the work of my poems....OK probably not but it is always fun to pretend. Anyways that has been the most exciting point of my week so far, as I have spent the rest of my time basically eating, sleeping, working, playing with my dog and once in a while I play video games. Fun..Heber gets really really boring sometimes and sometimes I wish I could just leave for at least a week and just be able to go wherever I want and do whatever I want. I would return sooner or later and I think I would feel a bit more refreshed. I dont know how some people sit around only doing the same things they've always done until they are just doing it subconciously as if it has become a habit so hard to break that they dont even fight it any longer, you know? I guess I am just a man of change. I believe change is always good no matter what and it can be good to change it up once in a while. Get out and do many different types of things, really find out what you like to do and what you dont like to do and make numerous different experiences along the way. How can a person just sacrafice all inheritly human potential by only doing a few things that they have been doing their whole life? Isn't life supposed to be a learning experience, something that needs to be explored, traversed, enjoyed, fulfilled to the greatest extent possible? How is that possible when one sits idle in a world based on things happening. Make something happen which in turn makes another thing happen. Pretty soon you have a whole chain reaction of happenings, and it all only happens because on person decided to do something that other people otherwise decided not to do. That is all I have for today. Until next time so long.
