FQF: 7/30

WTF July is almost over.

Here's another one that never gets old:

"I'm so upset I can't even go to church."

Hate To Feel

What's gone wrong, I can't see straight
Been too long, so full of hate

What the fuck will it take
Drown myself in my wake
Another shaggy D.A.
Now a dog, shake my leg
Plastic man, paper face
Candy heart, what a waste
Gotta change, set a date
Eat my cake, lick my plate

Stare at me with empty eyes and
Point your words at me
Mirror on the wall will show you
What you're scared to see

I can see, yeah, wish I couldn't see at all
I can feel, wish I couldn't feel at all
Hate to see, wish I couldn't see at all
Hate to feel, wish I couldn't feel at all

So climb walls, thin my blood now
And I crawl, back to bed now

What the hell, gotta rest
Aching pain in my chest
Lucky me, now I'm set
Little bug for a pet
New Orleans, gotta get
Pin cushion medicine
Used to be curious
Now the shit's sustenance

All this time I swore I'd never
Be like my old man
What the hey it's time to face
Exactly what I am

I can see, yeah, wish I couldn't see at all
I can feel, wish I couldn't feel at all
Hate to see, wish I couldn't see at all
Hate to feel, wish I couldn't feel at all

Summer Nights, Impossible Odds

I can't believe I just referenced Styx. But I did.

After two weekends of travel, and as importantly, after an interminable week, I needed to just relax this weekend. A nice quiet weekend of lying by the pool (ahhh.....), getting drunk and disorderly, and shooting a handgun. Not all in the same day, thankfully. I'd most likely be writing this from jail if that were the case. Nothing too worth mentioning (this is not to say that nothing happened), except for this, which you have to see to believe:

MQM: 7/26

"All that happens means something; nothing you do is ever insignificant."

-Aldous Huxley

A little extreme? Only if you think the Butterfly Effect is crap. I mean the theory, if you think the movie sucks I'm not going to argue with you.

FQF: 7/23

This was said by one of my partners over at Top 5. Those of you who know us can easily guess who.

"So I brought my baseball bat. And my flail too."

New York State Of Mind

Went to NYC for the weekend. Here's what I can remember.

Long Division

(This is not a song about math.)

It's a long time coming,
It's a long way down,
It's long division, crack and divide.
This is a parting, some separation,
We lay in pieces, cracked to survive.

I'm not your villain, not your adversary,
I'm not your reason to crack and divide.
It's long division, crack and divide.
-Fugazi
