Listening To:
wrecking ball
Like a cartoon
You see it coming
That wrecking ball
Its full arc completed
It’s return inevitable now
Heading straight for you
But you stand in its path
It grows larger
It’s shadow quickly moving over the ground
You wait
You know, yet you wait
And then
You are crushed
Again
Yet like a cartoon
You rise
And turn to watch it finish another arc
And return again
You wait
For the crush
Maybe
If you are lucky
One time
It will finish you
You see it coming
That wrecking ball
Its full arc completed
It’s return inevitable now
Heading straight for you
But you stand in its path
It grows larger
It’s shadow quickly moving over the ground
You wait
You know, yet you wait
And then
You are crushed
Again
Yet like a cartoon
You rise
And turn to watch it finish another arc
And return again
You wait
For the crush
Maybe
If you are lucky
One time
It will finish you

Busy Month
Taking asbestos off my house...taking out the windows...working...television ...ok...someone else is basically doing much of the work on the house, but I'm helping.
For those of you who don't know, I live in Oregon. Great place to live, but there is one oddity. I'm originally from the East Coast....there you go to the beach to swim....here you go to the beach to be at the beach....we drove there today....it was about 60 degrees, cloudy, with a heavy marine layer that made it feel like there was a light drizzle...the beach was packed...some people were in the water (which is only about 60 degrees at best itself) they were wearing sweatshirts. In the water. It's late july. It seems so wrong.

Random Thoughts from a Sunday
Because Meth is made with Psudeophedrine....do meth addicts often get colds?
Was at a park today and saw two small hispanic children arrive with toy lawnmowers that they proceeded to run over all the grass and I thought to myself....how appropriate....don't worry...I smacked myself on that one....
Watching a broadcast of A Prarie Home Companion on PBS tonight and the Hopeful Gospel Choir came out and sang a version of Bob Marley's One Love and I thought to myself....somewhere Bob is rolling over in his grave...but then I realized that wherever he was, he's probably stoned off his ass so he's likely ok with everything. But if he had been sober, he would have been pissed.
