Another Blog?

An hour from NY to Doraville and back.

Age w/m: j.croce

, ,


I've been up and down and 'round and 'round and back again. I've been so many places I can't remember where or when. And my only boss was the clock on the wall, and my only friend never really was a friend at all.

I've traded love for pennies, sold my soul for less. Lost my ideals in that long tunnel of time. I've turned inside out and around about and back and then found myself right back where I started again.

   Once I had myself a million, now I' ve only got a dime, the diff'rence don't seem quite as bad today. With a nickel or a million, I was searching all the time For something that I never lost or left behind.

~instrumental verse~

   Now I'm in my second circle and I'm headin' for the top I've learned a lot of things along the way. I'll be careful while I'm climbin' ' cause it hurts a lot to drop, and when your down nobody gives a damn anyway.

I've traded love for pennies, sold my soul for less. Lost my ideals in that long tunnel of time. I've turned inside out and around about and back and then found myself right back where I started again.

I've looked everywhere online for the first version of this song, with his wife singing harmony,off the album, "Another Day, Another Town", but I've not been successful to date. :frown: He had another version of it on his last album, ''I Got A Name''
This song hit me like a ton of bricks at 17 and still affects me today at 51. (Some of you may know that yesterday was my 51st. birthday :hat: ) "What a long, strange trip it's been..." :cheers:

Dead phones aren't much fun.

, , ,

OK, so my low battery warning tone sounds, the charge indicator blinks, which means the battery is really low. I shut the phone down and put it in the car. I'm just finishing up at work, I figure I'll go home and put my LG CU400 on charge. I shut it off, every thing is normal. When I get home, I plug in the charger and my day goes in the toilet. The phone is caught in a loop. It shows the AT&T start screen, with the unGodly jet engine start up sound. :eyes: It then goes to the home screen, and says "charging..." . Then it shuts itself off! :insane: I fiddle with it, jiggle it, mess with it in general. It's not having any of it. It still goes through this loop. *sigh* Hopefully I'll be up and running in a couple of days, with a new phone. I'm using my voice line, a Nokia 6030 b to access Mini. The 6030 is an awesome voice phone, but can't handle Mini 4.1 much less 4.2 . So I'm stuck with 3.1

See y'all soon.

A wicked sense of humour

  So my daughter (the apple of my eye, by the way) was in first or second grade when I picked her up from aftercare. She was pretty much always a happy child, for which I'm eternally greatful. One particular day, there was a twinkle in her eye that I just didn't understand.
 "Daddy," she said, "Guess who I saw today?!" She says this with this Southern accent that has always driven me to distraction - it makes me smile, coming out of her mouth.
 "Why, I don't know, Precious." Her real name is Kristina. Kristina Elizabeth when she's done something wrong. "Who?"
She says,"No,Daddy, you gotta guess!"
Well, at this point, we're strapped in, driving down the road, so -what better way to spent the 7 minute drive to the house than to play an impromptu guessing game with an 8 year old. :D I round up all the usual suspects, Grandma, Grandpa, people she knows from the neighborhood and move on to less probable entities like the Easter bunny, Elsie the Cow (the Borden icon, cow ) and on, and on. With each increasingly improbable suggestion she giggles harder and harder. I realize suddenly that she has to pee, and tell her as soon as we get home to run to the bathroom.
 Well! We get home, get her and the groceries out of the car, all the while playing this guessing game. When we get in the house, I remind her about the bathroom. She doesn't need reminding, because at this point she's doing the pee-pee dance, and says, "No, Daddy! Not til you guess!"
 "Ah, honey," I say, "I give up! Who did you see today?"
 With a grin that's halfway between :D and a grimace, doing the pee-pee dance, with, at this point, her hands between her legs, she looks me right in the eyes and says, "Everybody. I. looked. at."
 People, I'll tell you what: Very rarely am I speechless in real life.
I :yikes: She :eyes:
 I started laughing. Belly laughs that came straight from my soul. :lol: So did she. :lol:
Then she peed on the kitchen floor. :left:
*shrug* I cleaned it up while she was in the shower. :love:

Wonder where she got that joke from...

Hope this works

Songs You Love To Hate, U.S. version.

, , ,

 I found this on Salon.com Giggled hysterically through most of it... My favorite is "Billy Don't Be A Hero" by Bo Donaldson and The Heywoods. Scroll down a ways til the thread starts. :D

Christmas, Santa, and the fire trucks.

, , ,

  I realize that here in the U.S. Christmas is mostly commercialism and hype. There's very little in the way of the Holy day left. Store employees trampled to death so that shoppers can get a jump on holiday shopping... families at the brink of bankruptcy trying to get the latest fads for their kids, ad nauseum... :left:
 I work 3rd. shift, plus what I do on the side works out to 14 shifts out of a possible 21. In the name of all that is Holy, can anyone explain to me why two fire trucks with their lights a-flashin', sirens screaming and horns a-honking have to come down my street,(no fire, no emergency of any kind) with Santa perched on top of the fire truck? I mean, Jesus Christ! He should be in the Mall,no? :rolleyes:
  All this (half an hours worth of caterwauling sirens, and air horns) while I'm trying to get to sleep. Thanks to my local fire department I'll probably be late to work now! It's a good thing at this point that I a) do not own a rifle, and b) that I no longer live in a State where, "Your Honour- he needed killing!" is a valid defence for depriving someone of his life. :irked: I let Santa live.
This year.

  Merry Christmas. Bah humbug. :mad:

Test mms



That's just so wrong! :lol:
