Life

The lifelong insomnia continues......my doctor and therapist both dropped the ball on getting my prescription for my sleeping meds to me, so here I am, up randomly in the middle of the night. I'm bored out of my mind, and no one I really want to talk to is even awake. Sadly, I record here the passing of Abigail Crab, one of the new members of our crustacean family....she was found last night, sans shell. However, Dot, Ed, and Camille have all molted, and are doing well, and Hannibal and Arwen III seem to be adjusting comfortably. So here's to healthy crabs!

Weird Sunday

I think I have a sinus infection, and I'm so fucking nauseous.....I don't know what to do. On top of hot flashes and cramps, I feel like hell. My mother, however, has come up with a nighttime project: a Valkyrie themed calendar. Getting to it......

In Honor of Matthew Shepard

We've come a long way.......but not far enough.


Showers of your crimson blood
Seep into a nation, calling up a flood
Of narrow minds, who legislate
Thinly veiled intolerance
Bigotry and hate
But they tortured and burned you
They beat you and they tied you
They left you cold and breathing
For love they crucified you
I can't forget, hard as I try
This silhouette against the sky
Scarecrow crying
Waiting to die, wondering why?
Scarecrow trying
Angels will hold, carry your soul away
This was our brother, this was our son
This shepherd young and mild, this unassuming one
We all gasp this, can't happen here
We're all much too civilized
Where can these monsters hide?
But they are knocking on our front door
They're rocking in our cradles
They're preaching in our churches
And eating at our tables
I can't forget hard as I try
This silhouette against the sky
Scarecrow crying
Waiting to die, wondering why?
Scarecrow trying
Angels will hold carry your soul away
I search my soul
My heart and in my mind
To try and find forgiveness
This is someone child
With pain unreconciled
Filled up with father's hate, mother's neglect
I can forgive but I will not forget
Scarecrow crying
Waitin' to die, wondering why?
Scarecrow trying
Rising above all in the name of love
Love, love, love
Rising above all in the name of love
Love, love, love
Rising above all in the name of love
Love, love, love
...

Really Romantic Song

"Say Goodbye"

So here we are tonight
You and me together
The storm outside, the fire is bright
And in your eyes I see
What's on my mind
You've got me wild
Turned around inside
And then desire, see, is creeping
Up heavy inside here
And know you feel the same way
I do now
Now let's make this an evening
Lovers for a night, lovers for tonight
Stay here with me, love, tonight
Just for an evening
When we make
Our passion pictures
You and me twist up
Secret creatures
And we'll stay here
Tomorrow go back to being friends

Go back to being friends
But tonight let's be lovers,
We kiss and sweat
We'll turn this better thing
To the best
Of all we can offer, Just a rogue kiss
Tangled tongues and lips,
See me this way
I'm turning and turning for you
Girl just tonight

Float away here with me
An evening just wait and see
But tomorrow go back to your man
I'm back to my world
And we're back to being friends
Wait and see me,
Tonight let's do this thing
All we are is wasting hours until the sun comes up it's all ours
On our way here
Tomorrow go back to being friends

Go back to being friends
Tonight let's be lovers, say you will
And hear me call, soft-spoken whispering love
A thing or two I have to say here
Tonight let's go all the way then
Love I'll see you,
Just for this evening
Let's strip down, trip out at this
One evening starts with a kiss
Run away

And tomorrow
back to being friends
Lovers...love...lovers
Just for tonight, one night...love you
And tomorrow say goodbye

Boehner's Greatest Hits

Saw this on Facebook, and thought it was hilarious. Unfortunately, I happen to live in his congressional district. Gotta love gerrymandering, sneaky asshole politicians! Not to mention my idiot neighbors who vote them in. Boehner is about as useless as they come, and a great reminder of all that is wrong with Congress.

Fun Song

This is a really fun, relaxed song that always makes me happy......



Young, Wild & Free Lyrics



So what we smoke weed
We're just having fun
We don't care who sees
So what we go out
That's how its supposed to be
Living young and wild and free
[Wiz Khalifa - Verse 1]
Uh, Uh huh
So what I keep 'em rolled up
Saggin' my pants not caring what I show
Keep it real with my niggas
Keep it player for these hoes
It look clean don't it
Washed it the other day, watch how you lean on it
Give me some 501 jeans on and roll joints bigger than King Kong's fingers
And smoke them hoes down 'till they stingers
You a class clown and if I skip for the day I'm with you chick (b*tch) smokin' grade A
[Snoop Dogg - Verse 2]
Yeah, uh you know what?
It's like I'm 17 again
Peach fuzz on my face
Lookin', on the case
Tryna find a hella taste
Oh My God, I'm on the chase
Chevy, its gettin' kinda heavy, irrelevant, sellin' it
Dippin' away, time keep slippin' away
Zip in the safe, flippin' for pay
Tippin' like I'm drippin' in paint
Up front four blunts, like Khalifa put the weed in a J"
[Bruno Mars - Chorus]
So what we get drunk
So what we smoke weed
We're just having fun
We don't care who sees
So what we go out
That's how its supposed to be
Living young and wild and free
[Wiz Khalifa]
Uh, and now I don't even care
Long as me and my team in here
There's gon' be some weed in the air
Tell 'em Mac-
[Snoop Dogg]
Blowin' everywhere we goin'
And now ya knowin'
When I step right up
Get my lighter so I can light up
[Wiz Khalifa]
That's how it should be done
Soon as you thinkin' you're down
Find how to turn things around
Now things are looking up
[Snoop Dogg]
From the ground up
Pound up
It's Taylor Gang
So turn my sound up
And mount up
And do my thang
[Wiz Khalifa]
Now I'm chillin
Fresh outta class feelin'
Like I'm on my own
And I could probably own a building
Got my own car
No job - no children
Had this science project
Me and Mac killed it
[Snoop Dogg]
T-H-C
M-A-C
D-E-V
H-D-3
High as me
This is us
We gon' fuss
And we gon' fight
And we gon' roll
And live off life
[Bruno Mars]
So what we get drunk
So what we smoke weed
We're just having fun
We don't care who sees
So what we go out
That's how its supposed to be
Living young and wild and free
[Wiz Khalifa]
Yea, roll one, smoke one
When you live like this you're supposed to party
Roll one, smoke one, and we all just having fun
So we just, roll one, smoke one
When you live like this you're supposed to party
Roll one, smoke one, and we all just having fun
[ All - Chorus]
So what we get drunk
So what we don't sleep (smoke weed)
We're just having fun
We don't care who sees
So what we go out
That's how its supposed to be
Living young and wild and free
[Wiz Khalifa]
So what
We get drunk
So what we smoke weed
Were just having
Funnn
And we don't care who seee [Snoop Dogg](we don't care who sees)
So what we go out
That's how it's supposed to beee
Livin' young , and wild , and free
