Description Some days...
It just doesn't seem to pay to get out of bed
Another frustrating trudge
Plodding under the weight
Of all that you asked for
But never really wanted

Some days...
As you shuffle past the face of indifference
Lost in thought
of that which you cannot remember
You hope that once
Just once
You could smile at your life
And it would smile back

Some days...
You waken from your stupor
Rubbing the years from your weary eyes
the newborn stirs within you
Content with anticipation
Of absolutely nothing at all

Some days...
Rose-colored glasses only get in the way
As you watch the world unfold before you
The warmth of the morning sun
gently whispers the world awake
And suddenly without realizing it
You realize

Some days...
Are worth waiting for.



Don't blink, or you might miss it.

This is my thank you to =LV-2004 Out of the kindness of her heart, she bought me a year's subscription. Livia, you are someone I'm proud to call my friend.

It must have taken some time to do, huh?

badman22 In reply to BeyondTheHorizon [2005-07-24 20:23:26 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! And it took a couple of days, including render time. Considering some of the renders I've done, that's actually rather fast.

Skokie [2005-07-22 19:06:25 +0000 UTC]

Wow, awesome work... You did a great job compositing the renders from different programs. The lighting look really consistent, which can be tricky to pull off.

badman22 In reply to Skokie [2005-07-25 04:36:15 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! And believe it or not, the lighting wasn't the hard part. I found it much trickier to get the angles right. It seems I had to re-render things a couple of times to get the angles right.

Thank you, Donna!! And she did. I actually sent it to her before I submitted it here. And I'm glad you like the poem too. It's what I saw when I looked at the pic after I got it done.

Yeah, the poem is mine. I don't normally do poetry, unless the mood strikes me. This time it did.

I am not a great housekeeper, either, but I'm a very good cook, according to Chuck and my family! I haven't figured out how to upload my chocolate chip cookies, as yet.
