oftentimes the thing that really does it, takes you out of that shallow front part of your brain and drops you knee deep into the middle of all the shadows swirling around...
the fucking muck of it, right? it's a swamp in there, kids. with scary beasts and people crying, lost and losing their minds. fog and stink and glowing shit that you can never really quite decide on. swamp gas? things you can't really imagine staring at you, assessing, contemplating? yeah, it's a fucking a swamp. a swamp with a hurricane blasting through the middle. all the animals, man they leave that fucker first and fast. in waves too. preadators and prey running side by side. rivers of bugs. have you ever seen a river of roaches? it ain't a pretty thing to see, but what's coming after it is a damn sight worse, friends and neighbors.
....right in the middle of it is something simple and beautiful and easy. music. always does the trick, music. it can be something as simple as a little riff, a chord placed just right behind another, a beat that catches up to your heart and holds it steady. or a single solitary line of lyrics. maybe they even look a little trite all on their own. i mean, they are just words after all....
if adolf hitler were here today, they'd send a limousine anyway
...and then all the hairs stand up on the back of your neck and that thousand yard stare breaks and you look down and see where the hell you are. where you REALLY are. right? right.
what the fuck? a bunch of words that don't mean anything to most of the other primates strolling about the surface of this glorious, glorious ball of mud. but this monkey attaches a time of life, a lost idealism maybe (HAHA, IDEALS ARE FOR LOSERS!GRATIFICATION IS WHERE YOU NEED TO BE.), a sense of community, and self, and maybe a little belief in something outside of the satisfaction of your own needs and wants
but all that got lost, man.
caught up in the storm. the destructive beauty of it grabs your gaze and holds you tight when you should have been scuttling your ass off with the cockroaches and the snakes. the pressure, the immediacy of it all takes you and sweeps you off your feet. moves you a long way from that mysterious, organic Eden to a place of deafening silence. empty, but surrounded by the broken and the destitute and others who live in the front of their own skulls.
it's a bitch.
crawl into work, tongue like a wad of dried up rubber filling your mouth too tightly. hungover, still drunk, and your pores are sweating out the booze because your liver can't process anymore. the physical presence of the nasty, swirling smoke is glued to you. like a second skin. assistant has to press a cup of coffee and a few aspirin into your hand because maybe the old grabbers can't get the job done on their own.
and she's picking striper glitter off of the side of your neck, staring at you like you already died and she's just getting the corpse ready for the guys with the rubber gloves. slam your head down onto the desk and groan, because that's the bottom of the barrel, kids. talk about scraping wood.
time to go.
the end is near, and it's a bleak motherfucker.
heaven is dancing alone, sober, and oozing sweat in a wood floored, empty room to David Byrne at top volume.
and that's the fucking truth.
the. fucking. end.

I'M NO FUCKING METS FAN!
I'm a Cardinals fan through and through. First a Cardinals fan, second a National League fan (minus the Cubs), hence any review I may have made that seemed to paint the Mets in a positive light.
ps, I wish you weren't blocked at work, loki.

my heart is broken. how do you go from one game out directly into an eleven game losing streak? so many injuries this year, no pitching...what a mess. it was amazing that they got into the mix at all. i guess expecting to get into the postseason EVERY year is a bit unrealistic. unless you're a yankees fan.
anyway, the only fucking way i'll cheer for the redsox, or any american league team for that matter, is if the cubs actually make it all the way to the series. which means i won't be cheering for the redsox. or any american league team.
if san diego wins the playoff against colorado, i'm cheering for them. that pitching staff is a force to be reckoned with.
now bart just needs to set up that baseball bracket i asked about. i mean, he does one for the nfl and nobody here even likes american football, right?
also, i agree about the whole apple thing.

They say you cant judge a man
Until you walked a mile in his shoes
So I stole your shoes
And I walked a mile in them
And I still wont consider you a friend
The shoes were a pair of Nikes
I do admit I liked these
White and navy blue
Your'e a dick in pretty shoes
I must say your'e a dick in pretty shoes
And I felt for the kid who had made them
Working his ass off for a loaf of bread
And for all I know that kid just might be dead!
They say you can't judge a man
Until you walked a mile in his shoes
Does that rule apply to a man who mostly walks barefoot
Of all my old hippie friends
There is one that I can't stand
So I stole his shoes
And walked across the land
And now I'm gonna judge that man
Cause your'e a dick!
Thats your new title
For a boy so idle
For a boy so maginess
A hundred dollars and then
You'd kiss yourself if you had lips
I may not be Tom Cruise
But I've got a pair of pretty shoes
And I aint giving them back to you!
No I aint giving them back to you!
I'm keeping this pair of pretty shoes!
