today's album

the mars volta: de-loused in the comatorium
brings back the fondest memories
of sitting in marcus' basement

Nemo has a fin full of water

One Year Ago Today

made for eachother

poop turd

i am tired of smelling other people's poop
i know it's a bodily waste product and everyone has some
but i'm tired of it

today i walked into the bathroom at work
and just by the smell
knew who was in the stall next to me
i recognized the smell of his poop!!
don't get me wrong
i know it's a bathroom and not a rose garden
but i'm tired of it

my wife i can handle
dude i work with who leaves hair on the seat
from his hairy butt crack
i'm done with it

poles are closed

Brian is the winner! (even though he cheated)

Answer - Paolo Nutini, Jenny don't be hasty

do not forsake the gathering

recently i feel different about tradition
it feels empty because i either
a. never learned why
b. didn't pay attention

everything: christmas, making the bed, washing your face, brushing your teeth, praying before meals, going to church on sunday mornings, going to church, dressing up, wearing socks, throwing your shirts out due to pit-stains, not wearing your "good" clothes if you might get dirty, keeping your shoes looking like you've never worn them, putting your best foot forward, washing your car, keeping cash on you, voting republican, liking "christians" more than "non-christians," not getting dirty, not giving to people who beg, oh my the list will go on.

i concede to some due to common sense
but others i still have yet to justify

where i fall i cannot forsee
but i do know i will not fall until
i know what i'll land in


so much so that
this looks and sounds more like church to us
than sunday's spent in a building
singing songs that mean nothing
and hearing people voice their opinion (preach)
about a "topic" they like

recant

well, i was wrong.
the whole Z & X thing.
i forgot about a few key words
exactly
explain
except
zombie
zz top
x-games
complex
duplex
blaze
zondervan
explicit
bizarre
blizzard
wizard

ok so i was way off
but some things seem pretty ridiculous
when you don't think them through

moral of the story:
jenny don't be hasty
no don't treat me like a baby
let me take you where you'll let me
because leaving just upsets me

-name that song

Z + X

i'm not sure about these two?
they are wonderful symbols!
but as for them being letters in our alphabet?
i am not convinced
i was thinking about them yesterday
for some reason
and thought we could do without them
zebra
zoo
xylophone
i can't really think of any more words
zany
zilch
but really
i think we could do without them
and think of how much more important
the zebra would feel
to have a letter in his/her name
that doesn't actually exist
