Sooooooooooo.....
Yeah. It's certainly been a while. I'm surprised I still have and friends in my profile. Heh.
It's been an eventful few months or so. The girlfriend moved in with me in April and that's been nothing but stellar so far. I turned 26. Three of my friends, including my best friend, got married. Susan and I are planning a vacation to Montreal at the end of October and we can't wait. Right before our one-year anniversary, too.
Us being dorktacular:
Let's see..other big things. I got my first tattoo last week; it's a pumpkin. Here's a picture:
I'm incredibly happy with it. I highly recommend Kyklops Tattoo in the South Side; Evan Gealy was the artist.
Outside of that, I discovered that I'm much closer to finishing up my college degree than I thought. I was under the impression that when I left, I had a semester or so to go. But today, I got a letter from the Dean's office informing me I'm just a scant 3 credits away from graduating! One freakin' class! So as soon as the vacation is out of the way and I have extra cash again, I'm all over that. That'll be a huge albatross off my neck. Then I can work on a second major. But that's a ways in the future.
Now if I can just get a new, better-paying job, I'll be in 7th Heaven, so to speak. This weekend will be quite fun, as my place of employment is doing a Kennywood picnic this Saturday and then we're going to see Bob Dylan on Sunday night!! It's been a few years since I've seen him, and Susan has never been to one of his concerts. It promises to be a great show, I'm sure.
Weekend get here now!!!!!!!
Today's lyrics: Roxy Music - "Mother of Pearl"
Turn the lights down
Way down low
Turn up the music
Hi as fi can go
All the gangs here
Everyone you know
Its a crazy scene
Hey there just look over your shoulder
Get the picture?
No no no no .......(yes)
Walk a tightrope
Your life-sign-line
Such a bright hope
Right place, right time
Whats your number?
Never you mind
Take a powder
But hang on a minute whats coming round the corner?
Have you a future?
No no no no .......(yes)
Well ive been up all night again
Party-time wasting is too much fun
Then I step back thinking
Of lifes inner meaning
And my latest fling
Its the same old story
All love and glory
Its a pantomime
If youre looking for love
In a looking glass world
Its pretty hard to find
Oh mother of pearl
I wouldnt trade you
For another girl
Divine intervention
Always my intention
So I take my time
Ive been looking for something
Ive always wanted
But was never mine
But now Ive seen that something
Just out of reach - glowing -
Very holy grail
Oh mother of pearl
Lustrous lady
Of a sacred world
Thus: even zarathustra
Another-time-loser
Could believe in you
With every goddess a let down
Every idol a bring down
It gets you down
But the search for perfection
Your own predilection
Goes on and on and on and on
Canadian club love
A place in the country
Everyones ideal
But you are my favorita
And a place in your heart dear
Makes me feel more real
Oh mother of pearl
I wouldnt change you
For the whole world
Youre highbrow, holy
With lots of soul
Melancholy shimmering
Serpentine sleekness
Was always my weakness
Like a simple tune
But no dilettante
Filigree fancy
Beats the plastic you
Career girl cover
Exposed and another
Slips right into-view
Oh looking for love
In a looking glass world
Is pretty hard for you
Few throwaway kisses
The boomerang misses
Spin round and round
Fall on featherbed quilted
Faced with silk
Softly stuffed eider down
Take refuge in pleasure
Just give me your future
Well forget your past
Oh mother of pearl
Submarine lover
In a shrinking world
Oh lonely dreamer
Your choker provokes
A picture cameo
Oh mother of pearl
So so semi-precious
In your detached world
Oh mother of pearl
I wouldnt trade you
For another girl
