somebody else is doing my work for me :)

my job sucks in a big way. i guess it's time to dust off the resume and head out again. so so tired of talking about it and wishing for things to get better. what was the quote? you can wish in one hand and crap into the other and see which one gets filled first. (funny funny).. i got a belle and sebastian 45 today. what a nice surprise! want to go home and listen to it, looks good. anyhow.. fsking tired and i wanna go home. sleep sleep sleep. if i'm allowed to get any, that is. two shlitz and a nap. ... ordered a 45 by a band called 'the eat', they are great! also found a source for all of those really good old records, gonna borrow them and rip 'em to cd's. cant wait to be listening to the stun guns and driving around town. so so sweet.

Bad Luck

Some people like to gamble,
But you, you always lose.
Some people like to rock 'n' roll,
you're always singin' the blues
You gotta nasty disposition,
No one really knows the reason why,
You gotta bad, bad reputation,
Gonna hang your head down and cry...
chorus:
You got bad, bad luck
Bad, bad luck
You got bad, bad luck
Bad, bad luck
Thirteen's my lucky number,
To you it means stay inside.
Black cat done crossed my path,
No reason to run and hide.
You're looking through a cracked mirror,
No one really knows the reason why.
Your enemies are gettin' nearer,
Gonna hang down your head and cry...
chorus:
You got bad, bad luck
Bad, bad luck
You got bad, bad luck
Bad, bad luck
Some people go to church on Sundays,
others they pray at home.
You tell them that there ain't no God,
that they're better off standin' alone.
You're always scratchin' at the eight ball,
No one really knows the reason why.
You get to the top and then you fall,
Gonna hang down your head and cry...

The State I Am In

I was surprised, I was happy for a day in 1975
I was puzzled by a dream, stayed with me all day in
1995
My brother had confessed that he was gay, it took the
heat off me for a while
He stood up with a sailor friend, made it known upon my
sisters wedding day

I got married in a rush to save a kid from being deported,
now she's in love
I was so touched, I was moved to kick the crutches from
my crippled friend
She was not impressed because I cured her on the
Sabbath, so I went to confess
When she saw the funny side, we introduced my child
bride to whisky and gin

The priest in the booth had a photographic memory for
all he had heard
He took all of my sins and he wrote a pocket novel
called "The State I Am In"
So I gave myself to God, there was a pregnant pause
before ha said ok
Now I spend my day turning tables round In Marks &
Spencer's, they don't seem to mind

I gave myself to sin
And I've been there and back again
I gave myself to providence
The State That I Am In

Oh love of mine, would you condescend to help me
because I'm stupid and blind?
Desperation is the Devil's work, it is the folly of a boys
empty mind
Now I'm feeling dangerous, riding on city buses for a
hobby is sad
Lead me to a living end, I promised that I'd entertain my
crippled friend

i have to go buy 12 pounds of peaches with the fat paycheck. i cant wait. it'll take me at least three hours to cut them pups up.. i found that i have a small talent to making pies and whatnot- lately it's been peach pies. my recipe involves vanilla beans, brown sugar , all sorts of good stuff. let me tell you- show up at somebody's house with a still-warm pie you made yourself with fresh fruit (no canned shit!) and the feeling is great- the smile is immense.

so yes, i sometimes spend my weekends making pies and surprising my friends with them.

but not that bad a way to spend my time.

i was thinking about making one for the grrl i have a small crush on. but then i remembered that she would just laugh, take it, say it 'was very sweet of me' and that would be it.

for the love of redundancy.
