This is the end
Beautiful friend
This is the end
My only friend, the end

Of our elaborate plans, the end
Of everything that stands, the end
No safety or surprise, the end
I'll never look into your eyes...again

Can you picture what will be
So limitless and free
Desperately in need...of some...stranger's hand
In a...desperate land

Lost in a Roman...wilderness of pain
And all the children are insane
All the children are insane
Waiting for the summer rain, yeah

There's danger on the edge of town
Ride the King's highway, baby
Weird scenes inside the gold mine
Ride the highway west, baby

Ride the snake, ride the snake
To the lake, the ancient lake, baby
The snake is long, seven miles
Ride the snake...he's old, and his skin is cold

The west is the best
The west is the best
Get here, and we'll do the rest

The blue bus is callin' us
The blue bus is callin' us
Driver, where you taken' us

The killer awoke before dawn, he put his boots on
He took a face from the ancient gallery
And he walked on down the hall
He went into the room where his sister lived, and...then he
Paid a visit to his brother, and then he
He walked on down the hall, and
And he came to a door...and he looked inside
Father, yes son, I want to kill you
Mother...I want to...fuck you

C'mon baby, take a chance with us
C'mon baby, take a chance with us
C'mon baby, take a chance with us
And meet me at the back of the blue bus
Doin' a blue rock
On a blue bus
Doin' a blue rock
C'mon, yeah

Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill

This is the end
Beautiful friend
This is the end
My only friend, the end

It hurts to set you free
But you'll never follow me
The end of laughter and soft lies
The end of nights we tried to die

This is the end

Which do you imagine is worse?

The terror of being attacked and killed almost instantly, or the agony of being attacked and left for dead, where you will suffer intense pain and die a slow agonizing death?

Yea I don't know either.

We were talking
about the space between us all
and people who hide themselves
behind a wall of illusion
never glimpse the truth
then it's far too late
when they pass away

We were talking
about the love we all could share
When we find it
to try our best to hold it there
with our love, with our love
we could save the world
if they only knew

Try to realize it's all within yourself
no one else can make you change
And to see you're really only very small
and life flows on within you and without you

We were talking
about the love that's gone so cold
and the people who gain the world
and lose their soul
They don't know, they can't see
Are you one of them

When you've seen beyond yourself
then you may find
peace of mind is waiting there
And the time will come
when you see we're all one
and life flows on within you and without you

Ok Mel, April & those of you who also cook, I have a project for you. I just experimented with an omelet. I put the eggs in the pan and then sprinkled tabbouleh on it so that the tabbouleh would cook into the eggs. Then when I flipped it (rather slid it onto a plate and then back into the pan on the other side since I can't flip omelets without it ending up on my floor thus pissing me off)..where was I, oh yes, I "flipped" it and then put cheddar & mozzarella cheese inside. Then I ate it with a side of hummus.

So it was ok, not great, but I feel like it could be great. I think the cheeses weren't right. Had I any feta it would have been filled with that. I was kind of winging it because I haven't gone grocery shopping yet. Maybe if I filled it with tomatos spinach & feta it would've been wonderful.

So your project is to do one of two things. 1) If you're REALLY cool, experiment with it yourself or 2) if you're just sort of cool just tell me your ideas and I will. I just know that both of you are good with experimenting with foods so thought if I pulled you in we could come up with something awesome.

Mel can you believe that I'm actually mixing hummus & tabbouleh with different foods?? Remember how anal I used to be about keeping those separate from the rest of the food world? I think being a vegetarian has done wonders for me, it's shown me that hummus can do more than moisten some pita bread. You can use it with almost ANYTHING. So yea, you were right, I was wrong.

Ok, back to the couch. I'm a tad hungover. We went out last night with my friend Emily and her man. We went to this thing called First Friday. Basically there's this great little community downtown where all of the art galleries are and on the first friday of every month (hence the name) they all open up to the public and you can wander around going from place to place. They sell cheap wine & cheap food and it's very artsy, but fun. It's a fun little place that only, generally, locals know about. After that we went to this little hole in the wall bar for a few hours. Needless to say I had one glass of wine too many so today I'm feeling the pain.

So yea, back to the couch.

So about 4 years ago I started listening to Mark & Brian, a local morning show in Sacramento. Actually they were in L.A but it played in Sac. Anyway, I listened to them faithfully every morning while I got ready for work & drove to work. Later when I had my own office I'd even listen to them while I worked. I never listened to CD's in the morning. When I moved to Vegas I was sad to hear that they weren't aired here so I started listening to Howard Stern. At first I listened because every other morning show in Vegas made me want to shove pencils in my ears, after a while I grew to really love Howard & the gang. Really. I'll even sit in my car sometimes when I get to work if something really great is going on.

So today for the first time I listened to a CD ON PURPOSE instead of listening to a morning show. That CD was a mix of Blur & Modest Mouse. Blur's song "Tender" has me in it's total control. I canNOT stop listening to it. And it's not the greatest song ever by any means..but something about it is hypnotic. There's a part where the guy is singing: "Oh my baby, oh my baby, oh why, oh my" and I swear to Zeus..I don't know..it just does something to me. Makes me feel a feeling that I can't quite put my finger on. It's like it reaches into my soul and YANKS ON IT. It almost hurts.

So yea, when I chose this song over Howard (which really meant choosing it over 4 years of tradition) I was shocked and confused..but then it just felt so right.

I'm listening to it right now and can't accept that it will end in a minute. I can't believe I have to leave my desk and go out into the center to do some work and won't be able to listen to it.

I'm telling you, it has me by the SOUL.

Who me? Gets too into music? Naaahh....

I can't stop listening to this song...

"Tender" by Blur

Tender is the night
lying by your side.
Tender is the touch
of someone that you love to much.
Tender is the day
the demons go away.
Lord, I need to find
someone who can heal my mind.

Come on, come on, come on
get through it.
Come on, come on, come on
love's the greatest thing.
Come on, come on, come on
get through it.
Come on, come on, come on
love's the greatest thing, that we have,
I'm waiting for that feeling,waiting for that feeling,
waiting for that feeling to come...

Oh my baby, oh my baby
oh why, oh my

Tender is the ghost
The ghost I love the most.
Hiding from the sun
waiting for the night to come.
Tender is my heart
it's screwing up my life.
Lord, I need to find
someone who can heal my mind...

Tender is the night
lying by your side.
Tender is the touch
of someone that you love to much.
Tender is my heart
it's screwing up my life.
Lord, I need to find
someone who can heal my mind...
Oh my baby, oh my baby
Heal me, heal me

Who are some actresses that can do a really good sweet innocent girl and then in the next scene play a really depressed, drugged out girl? Someone between 20-30 (or who could play someone 20-30 in a movie). I think Drew Barrymore could pull it off and I have faith in Kierra Knightly. Give me some other names.

Although I don't know why I ask, no one seems to want to respond to questions I ask of late.

Say Hello to the Angels

I want your silent parts
The parts the birds love
I know there's such a place

I had my back turned
You didn't realize
I'm lonely

You lack the things
To which I relate
But I see no harm

Come wait, come wait, come wait
It's over.
One...two...three...do me

When I'm feeling lazy, it's probably because,
I'm saving all my energy to pick up when you move into my airspace
You move into my airspace

And something's coming over me, I see you in the doorway
I can't control the part of me that swells up when you move into my airspace
You move into my airspace

But each night, I bury my love around you...
You're linked to my innocence

This is a concept
This is a bracelet
This isn't no intervention

This isn't you yet
What you thought was such a conquest
You're hair is so pretty and red
Baby, baby you're really the best...

Can I get there this way?
I think so

We should take a trip now to see new places
I'm sick of this town
I see my face has changed.

Say hello, say hello, to the angels.

Eyes burning

ears ringing

I have a natural talent for poetry don't I? :)~

Tonight we drive to Modesto. We'll leave 7pmish and hopefully get there before 4am. It's been a long exhausting yet very fun week. I'm sorry to see it end but am looking forward to a long long nights sleep.

I'm too tired, my brain isn't really working, I can't think of anything to say. I keep drifting off.

Have you ever been with someone where you felt like you never knew what life was about until you met them? Where you never knew what love really was until you loved them? When I look in his eyes I see myself, I see my place in life. And you know how when you first start dating someone and you're in that stage where you MUST see them every second and when you don't you count the seconds until you get to see them again? And you almost are in pain when you're apart..and say they're supposed to come over and every noise you hear you just PRAY it's them..that's how I feel right now. Jim's gone and all I can do is think about seeing him again.

I'm sorry, I'm being mushy. But he's been gone for 3 hours and it just hurts. haha..I'm pathetic!!

We had THE most fun night last night. We invited our good friend Jack (Jack Daniels that is) over and played cards until we were more than a little drunk. We played a "drinking game" where every time I cursed I had to drink & every time he was "dirty" he had to drink. Needless to say we were drinking constantly. He's a dirty old mand and I cuss like a sailor. I need to get a handle on my mouth, it's never a good thing when a girl cusses more than her man. I don't know where this dirty mouth of mine came from, probably from the fact that I grew up around guys. Anyway, last night was amazing and I've been paying for it all day by feeling incredibly hungover. So he went to this July 4th party without me and I've been playing guitar and watching the fireworks. We can see the whole valley from our apartment so the view is amazing on July 4. I wish Case was here to see this. (Case would be his son). It's just awesome..explosions everywhere, as far as you can see.

Ok, I've got to ramble. And tomorrow is no workie, I'm going to clean the hell out of my house, fun no?

Ciao!

One last thing, speaking of Led Zeppelin, this is for my lovah:

"If the sun refused to shine, I would still be loving you.
When mountains crumble to the sea, there will still be you and me.

Kind woman, I give you my all, Kind woman, nothing more.

Little drops of rain whisper of the pain, tears of loves lost in the days gone by.
My love is strong, with you there is no wrong,
together we shall go until we die. My, my, my.
An inspiration is what you are to me, inspiration, look... see.

And so today, my world it smiles, your hand in mine, we walk the miles,
Thanks to you it will be done, for you to me are the only one.
Happiness, no more be sad, happiness....I'm glad.
If the sun refused to shine, I would still be loving you.
When mountains crumble to the sea, there will still be you and me."

My grandma always told us to make sure we have clean underwear on in case we get in a car accident and are taken to the hospital. As a kid I never second guessed it, "good thinking" I'd say. But now I don't know, I'd hope that maybe, just maybe, all of the blood and the fact that I'm dying might distract them from the cleanliness of my underwear. Not that I wear dirty underwear, if I do wear it I prefer clean, but still. It would be unfortunate if I was taken to the hospital due to critical circumstances and the ER folk saw some dirty underwear and said: "STOP EVERYTHING! Look guys, she has dirty underwear!! hahahahahaha.." and forgot to keep me from dying. I think the world we live in sucks, but I don't think it's that bad.

Something funny I said to Jim the other day:

"Our daughter is not going to be allowed to dress like a slut until she's at least 16."

I can't believe parents, they let their 9 year olds dress like sluts and wonder why they end up raped & dead in a ditch somewhere. Let the child be a child, they have their entire adult lives to be whores & make bad decisions.

All of that said, we both really want a girl. We both have never wanted a girl but all of a sudden together we do. So if anyone has any tips on tricks on how to have a girl let a sista know. Twin girls would be ideal, altough that thought sort of makes Jim nervous. I suppose it should make me nervous too but it just makes me smile.

One of the best moments in my life was standing in the Paul McCartney concert singing "Hey Jude" at the top of my lungs. It was such a trip and so amazing to be there singing WITH Paul. I get goose bumps just thinking about it.

I heard that song on the way to work this morning and turned it up as loud as I could. That's one song that when you hear it you have no choice but to turn it up loud and sing along.

I wish I had that CD with me today, all I have is Rubber Soul, but that'll do fine.

I miss the Beatles, I haven't been paying them as much attention as I should lately. I always give John love, but the Beatles as a whole I seem to neglect. Maybe Friday I'll have a Beatles-fest. I'll bring all of my Beatles CD's (and I have them all) and listen to them all day long. Yea. :) Oh, and I'll listen in order.

Sometimes I think I like John Lennon way too much.

But then even "way too much" doesn't equal how much I like Elvis.

Anyway..oh crap, ~~I'll be in Loma Rica on Elvis's D-day~~. *edit* I'm retarded, I'll be there JULY 16, not August 16, what was I thinking. ~~I'll have to find some hard liquor so I can take a shot so to not break tradition.~~ . Now I'll definitely have to take a shot for him, maybe 2 or 3. The last couple years I've neglected this.

Ok I'm rambling. Ciao.

I can't tell you how much it pisses me off when I mention wanting to have a baby and people (usually mothers) go: "Oh you say that now but just wait! It's not all fun and games!"..as though I've never seen one before in my life. You mean babies cry and shit a lot and they take up your entire lives?! Well hell, I thought I just put in an order for one, it was delivered and then I get to have play time for 18 years. I've been around babies my entire life, I know they cry, I know they're difficult, I fucking know they take up your life. And I'm ok with this! Maybe there are idiots out there who giggle and say: "Yay I want to have a baby" and think it's all peaches & cream..but I'm not one of them. I hate how some mothers act like they wrote the fucking book on motherhood and every woman who doesn't have a child is an idiot. You don't have to be a mother to know what it takes and just because you have a child doesn't make you a fucking super-human. It simply means your fucking egg got fertilized because you had sex. Shit. Because you have a baby & I don't it doesn't give you the right to say: "You don't know what you're talking about, babies aren't that easy." Which to me says: "Although *I* can do it, you can't, because you don't have a child." Forgetting that they too once didn't have a child. You have two types of mothers: One see's motherhood as a blessing, the other as a curse. I see it as a blessing. Including the crying and the life long commitment and the shitty diapers and the puke and the whining etc etc..it's beautiful.

But whatever, shitheads.

Yea I'm in a wonderful mood today, one thing after another. The biggest upset: My strawberries were moldy.

Oh Kathryn....
