I fought the law, and I won.
I sat in the courtroom and watched a string of defendants either lose their cases or plead guilty. But I won. Not only am I glad for myself, but also for the fact that my case may have set a precedent which may help others in the future. Or perhaps it will turn police into better liars.
Those fuckers who arrested me looked like idiots up on the stand. It was pretty diffcult to keep a straight face when the judge ruled for me. All the people in the stands were looking at me, trying to see my reaction.
My record remains squeaky clean. It's too bad that my lawyer cost about 1200 bucks.
It's perhaps worth mentioning that I believe justice was served in this case. I mean, winning is great and all, but it's even sweeter when it's a just victory.
Right now 3 people are playing acoustic guitar and singing songs about Jesus in my living room. I'm trying to figure out if it's tounge-in-cheek or not. These guys want me to play drums for them when they record their album in late spring and then do a little tour with them. I don't know...it's totally not my type of music, but why the fuck not? It'd be good experience for me. We've been working a bit on a cover of "Buenos Tardes Amigo" by Ween; I can have fun with that, at least.
"I thought I was smart
I thought I was right
I thought it better not to fight
I thought there was a virtue
In always being cool
So it came time to fight
I thought "I'll just step aside"
And that the time would prove you wrong
And that you would be the fool
To fight is to defend
If it's not now then tell me when
Would be the time
That you would stand up and be a man
For to lose I could accept
But to surrender I just wept
And regretted this moment"
Fight, motherfuckers.
Actually, don't.
You might hurt yourself.

*does the cabbage patch*
two of my most favorite jesus-oriented songs of all time include:
"Plastic Jesus" - jello biafra & mojo nixon
"will the fetus be aborted?" also another jello/mojo teamup
the people in you r living room need to learn those
hope you're having a good week!
Thanks for more insight on my favorite buggy bug. The things you know amaze me!
Jesus songs scare me. Especially when I wake up first thing in the morning, and one of the ones from way, way, way back when stari was a wee little sunday school girl is on a constant loop in my head. Eeeeeek!!
