My god, the length of this post is criminal

You’re getting a huge, out of order, blabbering post today. So here goes….

MISCELLANEOUS

Words that make me want to cut a bitch:
-Eminent Domain
-Florida
-Wal-Mart
-Deductible
-Fox News
-Plus Size

Aw, I’m not that cynical today. Especially since I give big kudos to my governor after a story I read this morning. He’s sticking by his guns and making Illinois pharmacists fill prescriptions for birth control and the “morning after” pill, regardless of their personal feelings. Sometimes government does agree with me!

FRIDAY FIVE (TWO PARTS)

Then:
1) What was the first album/CD/Cassette you ever bought?
Faith No More and Depeche Mode – CD, tapes-no idea.
2) What was your first fave song?
I’ll confess a secret I’ve held for most of my life. When I was little I had a intuition/dream that if I ever proclaimed one particular song to be my favorite, that I would die soon after. One time, years later, I was driving to school and was listening to some Voltaire. I recklessly thought, “Wow, this is probably my favorite song.” Then I thought instantly, “You’re going to die now.” I have never listened to the CD again since that day.

I am insane.

3) Which song gives you that "funny nostalgic feeling" everytime you hear it?
Beatles “Rocky Racoon” make me think of dancing in the pool room at Dad’s, any Allman Brothers or Led Zepplin makes me want to hang around a bunch of guys drinking beers and leaning on cars with their hoods up dissecting problems with carbeurators, and “Knockin’ Boots” by Candyman makes me think of the Skate Corral.
4) Name the first concert you ever went to.
Grand Ol’ Opry or by myself, Lolapolooza 94
5) What do you consider the worst song of all time?
Lean on Me and God Bless America

Now:
1) Name your fave song at the moment.
“Calendar Hung Itself” by Bright Eyes
2) What is the most recent album/CD/Cassette you purchased?
Tom Petty “Anthology: Through the Years” and Johnny Cash “Essential” at the same time.
3) Which song will you never get sick of hearing?
“Oh My Sweet Carolina” by Ryan Adams and "This Magic Moment" by Lou Reed.
4) What is your current fave music video?
Visual Porn: “Perfect Drug” by NIN. The only music video that has ever made me teary: “Hurt” by Johnny Cash.
5) If you could be a famous music artist, what type of music would you produce?
Probably Tori Amos type stuff. In fact, I’d like to be Tori Amos. She sang a beautiful duet with Trent Reznor, she’s gorgeous and one of her best friends is Neil Gaiman. That ain’t a bad deal..

BRIGHT EYES

I’m currently addicted to Bright Eyes. A-dick-ted. So here’s some lyrics for you. Sometimes there are songs that I listen to repeatedly so I can write down the lyrics to fully understand them written out in front of me. I don’t know what he was trying to say, but I know how it makes me feel. Sorta sad but hopeful. I’m also kinda a hippie.

Tomorrow when I wake up
I’m finding my brother
And I’ll make him take me back down to the water
That lake where we sailed
And we laughed with our father.

I will not desert him.
I will not desert him.

No matter how I may wish for a coffin so clean
Or these trees to undress all their leaves unto me
I put my face in the dirt and then finally I see
The sky that has been avoiding me.

Time take us forward,
Relief from this longing
They can land that plane on my heart, I don’t care
Just give me November, the warmth of a whisper
In the freezing darkness of my room.

No matter what I would do and in attempt to replace
All these pills that I take trying to balance my brain.
See the curious girl with that look on her face.
So surprised, she stares out from her display case.
