Blah... a crap day...

Started so nice... got in the Esprit... got as far as the gas station before a wire came loose off the starter... so I couldn't start my car again!! My dad came, we push started it... got her home.. and I headed off to work.

A crap day at work, busy as hell, and the computer system was screwed up making my job almost impossible.

I woke up EyesOfaTragedy after work when I gave her a random call... sorry... It was 6:00 pm, you should have been awake when I was just random dialing people to try to entertain myself on the way home from work as my brain was fried. Sorry dear.

Got home, fixed the Lotus... *sigh* a 5 minute fix it was too... damn loose wire

Just listening to some music before bed... Hopefully tommorow I'll hear from corporate... keep your fingers crossed for me!

I'm off to bed though, I've got to be up by 3:45 am to leave my house by 4:45 am to be at work by 6:00 am... *sigh* atleast I can get shit done without stupid people getting in my way.

EDIT:

I really wish I could have seen The Refreshments in concert... the song Nada is my song of the moment, though "Don't wanna know" kicks ass too:

The Refreshements:
Fizzy Fuzzy Big & Buzzy:
Track 12: Nada

I see the lightnin' from the storm down in Mexico
I see my speedometer doesn't work
I cross the desert 'n disappear into the tumbleweeds
I tip the bottle and bite the lime

I hear the thunder from the storm down in Mexico
'nd I leave the border far behind
I feel the dust to coat my teeth and turn my sweat to mud
I tip the bottle and bite the lime

There ain't no moral to this story at all
'n anything I tell you very well could be a lie
I Been away from the livin'
I Don't need to be forgivien
I'm just waiting for that cold black soul of mine...
To come alive

I feel the wind blow from the storm down in Mexico
Gasoline for another hundred miles
I cross a river 'n leave my shoes up on the other side
I tip the bottle and bite the lime

There ain't no moral to this story at all
'n Anything I tell you very well could be a lie
I Been away from the livin'
I Don't need to be forgiven
I'm just waiting for that cold black sun cracked soul of mine....
To come alive

Come alive..... yeah

Well I feel the rain drops from the storm down in Mexico
Truck will go no further out of gas
I walk through the desert past the lizard and a rattlesnake
I tip the bottle and bite the lime

There ain't no moral to this story at all
'n Anything I tell you very well could be a lie
There ain't no morals to these stories
'n Anything I tell you can bet will be a lie
I been away from the livin'
I don't need to be forgiven
I'm just waiting for that cold black sun cracked numb inside soul of mine
To come alive

Come alive... come alive.... come alive.........

The Refreshements:
Fizzy Fuzzy Big & Buzzy:
Track 5: Don't Wanna Know

Goes down on a Tuesday night
That's ok, I'm feelin' alright
It's easier to grab a beer without a thousand people here

Talkin' to a friend of mine
Ask him and he'll say he's just fine
Talk of somethin', inspiration, dreams, and financial desperation

And you where I'll be in a year
I'll probably be sittin right here
And if you know the answer don't tell me anyone
Cuz I don't wanna know... I don't wanna know

Well we've been sayin' we're gunna go somewhere for a long long time
But it never happens, why's it never happen?
Yeah we've been praying we're guna get somewhere for a long long time
But it never happens, why's it never happen?

And you where I'll be in a year
I'll probably be sittin right here
And if you know the answer don't tell me anyone
Cuz I don't wanna know... I don't wanna know
I don't wanna know

---------------

And finally one of the coolest series of lines from one of their songs...

From the song "European Swallow"

So this big ol' guy comes up to me
Says "Hey, skinny white boy I don't like the way you look at my girlfriend"
What an ugly thing to say, I said "but you flatter yourself you know I don't think that much of your girlfiend"

So a big ol' guy socks me in the nose and I fall on my back and I get blood on my clothes
He says "Hey skinny white boy what do ya think about that?"
and I say "Well, it doesn't change much you know I still don't think that much of your girlfriend."

You have to hear it but it is delivered very well...

Anyways... off to bed and the headphones go away.
