"A SONG TO PASS THE TIME" - Bright Eyes
There's a middle-aged woman, she's dragging her feet
She carries baskets of clothes to a laundromat
While the Mexican children, kick rocks into the street
And they laugh in a language I don't understand
But I love them, why do I love them?
So the neighborhood's dimming, I smoke on the porch
Watch the people as they pass enclosed inside their cars
On their faces just anger or disappointment
I start wishing there was something I could offer them
A consolation, what could I offer them?
Well, they are sad in their suburbs, robots water the lawn
and everything they touch gets dusted spotless
And so they start to believe they've not touched anything at all
And the cars in the driveway only multiply
Well, They are lost in their houses
I've heard them sing in the shower
Making speeches to their sister on the telephone
Saying, "You come home, woman, you come here
Don't stay so far away from me"
This weather has me wanting love more tangible
Something I can hold
cause it's getting cold
Let's hold up our fists to the flame in the sky
To block out the light that's reaching for our eyes
Cause it, cause it would blind us
Yeah it will blind us
Well, I've locked my actions in the grooves of routine
So I may never be free of this apathy
But I wait for a letter that's coming to me
She sends me pictures of the ocean in an envelope
So there still is hope, yes, I can be healed
There is someone looking for what I've concealed
In my secret drawer, in my pockets deep
You will find the reasons that I can't sleep
And you will still want me
But will you still want me?
Will you still want me?
Well i said "Come for the week, you can sleep in my bed
And pass through my life like a dream through my head
It will be easy
I'll make it easy"
But, all I have for the moment is a song to pass the time
And a melody to keep me from worrying
Some simple progression to keep my fingers busy
And words that are sure to come back to me
And they'll be laughing
And they'll be laughing
My mediocrity, my mediocrity
Yeah they'll be laughing
Yeah they'll be laughing
They will be laughing

I had a long day today at work...ran the Electronics counter at work and just kind of hung out. Talked with Aja and Chrystal. Brennan wasn't there today. My brother came home with his girlfriend and their Italian Greyhound puppy today...It really made my day to see them cause I miss my brother so much now. I almost never see him.
I bought Blade Trinity and think I will watch that...even if it sucks...well there is always Ryan Reynolds shirtless....yum! Sometimes I am the ever so typical horndog.
I have been listening to Bright Eyes with my brother all day so he made me post the lyrics to his favorite song...actually it's one of my favorites too but that is besides the point. I intruduced his girlfriend to the Thai Sweet Chilli sauce and she lovved it...It is really damn good with anything that has vegetables or chicken pieces involved.
I ate a bag of Twizzlers Sourz they were yummy but I dumped half of them out today while trying to open the bag... +emo tear+
Aja made me a nice black and red labeled pin to wear at work that says "Am I Fired Yet?" in these very chain lettery looking letter blocks...so AMAZING.
She once made me a black like spindle roll that houses a candle and it has little skull cutouts on the inside so it reflects on your walls when it is lit...She is so Morticia meets Martha! Oi!
I am taking a look into Buddhism and Paganism just to broaden my spiritual horizons a bit....I don't know much about either...but I know a lot about Christianity so I figured why the hell not.
I bought the Nick Name And The Normals cd and it's CRAZY!!!
I want the new Mae cd and I want to re-buy "Pieces of You" because I lost it and it is my favorite Jewel album...
