Well I pulled on trouble's braids
and I hid in the briars
out by the quick mud
stayin' away from the main roads
passin' out wolf tickets
downwind from the blood hounds
and I pulled on trouble's braids
and I lay by a cypress
as quiet as a stone
'til the bleeding stopped
I blew the weather vane
off some old road house
I build a fire in the
skeleton back seat of an old Tucker
and I pulled on trouble's braids
I spanked cold red mud
where the hornet stung deep
and I tossed in the ditch
in a restless sleep
and I pulled on trouble's braids
I hung my rain-soaked jacket
on some old barbed wire
poured cold rusty water
on a miserable fire
I pulled on trouble's braids
the creek was swollen by daybreak and I could just
barely see
and I floated downstream
on an old dead tree
and I pulled on trouble's braids

Tom Waits.......


one of my all - time favorite songs by him........ off of swordfish trombones.....

went to a BBQ last night - drank my token 3 beers, ate some salmon, smoked a couple of cigs, mingled some then came home and vegged out.

last night i sat around and took goofy cam pics of myself and messed with them in photoshop - one is this profile pic.... what do you think?

my mind is in neutral right now.... it was a pretty mindless day - nothing wrong with that......

it's my daughter's birthday today - going to go and hang with her some today. i rarely see her anymore - her social life is pretty busy - *sigh* what about her dad? what am i chopped liver - wait - that was a rhetorical question - don't answer that...........

i need money - anyone want to pay me to do some 'maintenance work' on you - erm, your plumbing - erm - place.... har har......

ok - that was my dodo alert. i know its time to end when i wonder what the hell i just said........... dodo!

happy sun-day
