i'm a broad
whoa whoa whoa, i'm going to dublin in march. holy crap i just booked a ticket i probably can't afford, but let's worry about that later, you know? the year should be pretty sweet - i love making travel plans.
next step: approving this with my boss.
that's kind of my m.o. - strike and then approve, like a snake.
by the way, my family received a christmas card in the mail from the xy presbyterian church, which we all used to attend before we stopped one sunday (it really was that simple!). the card featured a lovely snowy photograph of the xy presbyterian church, and under that, the striking words:
"It is truly the simple-minded who
understand that
the God who raged over nations
is now mild and is in us."
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
The XY Presbyterian Church staff"
i'm sorry. that's a strange poem to quote on a christmas card from a church, rainier maria rilke or not.

i can only pose as pete mortensen for so long before someone catches on. no, really, it is me, pete. i'm happy to hear you made your reservations for my homeland. i wish i could go, and i'm sure i will soon. not soon enough, but soon. good things come to those irishmen who respectfully wait. besides, we got green hills and good beer around here too. not so many of those cool, stone shorty-fences across the landscape, but we can work on that. what the hell were those thing supposed to do anyhow? keep out the riotous bands of irish midgets who so terrorized the our forlorn lands during the dark ages. or was it just those fancy little tights-wearing, shamrock flinging leprechauns everyone saw as a problem?
I had no idea Rilke was so old testament about shit. Thats cool for him I guess.
