“Times are tough.” Tell me about it. No, really. Tell me about it! On our new website Haiku of Frustration. Those of you who’ve been following Jen’s MySpace blog (or her podcast) are probably already familiar with these haiku. For the uninitiated, Haiku of Frustration are little poems about all those things in life that frustrate the hell out of you! Work? Love? Technology? Teh Internetz? Those subjects and anything else you can think of could easily inspire one of these poems. Haiku of Frustration is open for submissions from everyone. So head on over to the site and let us know what’s bothering you. We’ll post it to the site, and unless you choose to post anonymously, you’ll receive full credit for your frustration creation. Come on! There’s only one haiku so far and it’s looking rather lonely.

Taking a page from one of Jen’s blogs, I’ve decided to make a haiku of my own.

Hungry
Ham, swiss, Ritz crackers
and Pepsi, waiting for me
damn phone keeps ringing
