name that guy

sometimes i wish i had a more exotic name,
but then again,
it’s not like i have room to complain considering
I'm using a pseudonym
and i could have just picked 
a fancier sounding name,
though maybe there's still time

castle life

after inspecting a 15th century castle that 
has somehow last half a millenia,
i can confidently say,
i don't think it mattered how rich or poor you were
in the 15th century,
life still sucked

word//of the day

i am subscribed to a word of the day
that gets sent to my email each morning,
but i always forget to use that word
in any context,
so i promptly forget the word of the day 
by the time midnight rolls around
