Well, up the stairs ran Frankie Lee
With a soulful, bounding leap,
And, foaming at the mouth,
He began to make his midnight creep.
For sixteen nights and days he raved,
But on the seventeenth he burst
Into the arms of Judas Priest,
Which is where he died of thirst.
No one tried to say a thing
When they took him out in jest,
Except,...

A couple months ago, I was parked on my couch and I happened to catch a 1991 CU vs. NU game on ESPN Classic. That's when it all came into focus for me. This program ain't half of what it used to be, and it's only going to get worse. Please go easy on me, bro. I beg you.
The Mets?!? BWAHAHAHAHA!!!

Nice to meet a fellow Dead head on the site! The show I saw was a beautiful show, just really mellow. Thanks for the Dead lyrics on your post, nice to read 'em and smile!

"There's guns across the river aimin' at ya
Lawman on your trail, he'd like to catch ya
Bounty hunters, too, they'd like to get ya
Billy, they don't like you to be so free.
Campin' out all night on the verenda
Dealin' cards 'til dawn in the hacienda
Up to Boot Hill they'd like to send ya
Billy, don't you turn your back on me....

Awww...sure hope everything goes okay for your sister. The brother-sister bond can be an incredible one. They own your past, take good care of her.

The feeling of wanting to be the recipient of someone else's illogical or undeserved pain is a very powerless place to be but you are on the right path with the limo I think. I hope your sisters' treatments go well... I know they will...
As I read your words... I felt in a comfortable place... At home with my Hamletism, living vicariously through yours... if that made any sense at all? I didn't believe in god until the age of 18... it wasn't a big deal... Jewish mother, Catholic father, none of them particularly interested in God until it became difficult to pay the bills... the hypocrisy disgusted me, so I rationalized God out of life... until one day... out of nowhere... and BAM! there's no more rationalization... i don't know... can I hang out with you just thinkin' and we can figure out when oh when will I move away from survival mode and you can give me tips on how to let my garden grow... ??

Oh, the farmers and the businessmen, they all did decide
To show you the dead angels that they used to hide.
But why did they pick you to sympathize with their side?
Oh, how could they ever mistake you?
They wished you'd accepted the blame for the farm,
But with the sea at your feet and the phony false alarm,
And with the child of...

I'm a little surprised you haven't mentioned last night's Duke loss. Or are you just being sweet with all the other crap I'm dealing with?

Karma or no karma, there will be no loss at Cameron. All I got left is talkin' trash with Trash!!
Well, if you're travelin' in the north country fair,
Where the winds hit heavy on the borderline,
Remember me to one who lives there.
She once was a true love of mine.
Well, if you go when the snowflakes storm,
When the rivers freeze and summer ends,
Please see if she's wearing a coat so warm,
To keep her from the howlin' winds.
Please see...

Glad your party was a success. I don't know the first thing about Nascar but it seems as if a lot of people were partying today. I've never had a man tip his fedora to me...thank you

"We carried you in our arms
On Independence Day,
And now you'd throw us all aside
And put us on our way.
Oh what dear daughter 'neath the sun
Would treat a father so,
To wait upon him hand and foot
And always tell him, "No"?
Tears of rage, tears of grief,
Why must I always be the thief?
Come to me now, you know...

I'm a-wonderin' if she remembers me at all.
Many times I've often prayed

As they watched him from above
But they were frightened of his power
They were scared of his love.

Betting against DEI, any of them, for the Daytona 500 isn't a smart move, that would be like me betting for Dale at some place like Martinsville or Bristol. They own the restricter plate races. However, I'm thinking Newman may be in contention as well. He seems to know something about gas millage that no one else does. My bosses son works for Budweiser so he's been bringing me posters and treasures in every day, I have my eye on the card board cut out though...Wow, if the 25 year old me would meet the 28 year old me, she would think I was PATHETIC...or a JACKASS! 
"Einstein, disguised as Robin Hood
With his memories in a trunk
Passed this way an hour ago
With his friend, a jealous monk
He looked so immaculately frightful
As he bummed a cigarette
Then he went off sniffing drainpipes
And reciting the alphabet
Now you would not think to look at him
But he was famous long ago
For playing the electric violin
On Desolation...

YAY for work accomplishments. Sometimes the validation of completion is enough to keep us going for another day. At least it makes the hours on the job not feel like a bottomless nothingness. All ready for the 500 with the moonpies...how excellent. I've got my Budweiser ready as well (especially considering that Indiana prohibits buying alcohol on Sunday's, which means we just buy more during the week)...I've got my money on Junior, being a re-stricter plate race, it will be him or Waltrip...Don't forget Thursday afternoon the Twin 125's...sounds like a good excuse to call in sick to me...

Being a gemini or being who I am the feeling of being in that place when all things seem somehow pointless or lost but having been there so many times before... you know or you hope that the tune will be different soon... i mean, it has to be right?
I greatly envy those who live or seem to live effortlessly because every step feels like arbitration to me. All i know is that it is not up to us to decide if it is relevant or not. Pour out your whiny prose on those pages and I will always be here to appreciate and I will still be here in two weeks when the tune is different. What would have happened to your Daily Dylan if he had decided that he shouldn't be taking good people's time with this crap? We are lucky to have him and we are lucky to have you, we are all lucky to have Trash.

I miss so many things and I know they'll never come back again. This whole thing seems all about loss sometimes.

Poisoned in the bushes, blown out on the trail.
Hunted like a crocodile, ravaged in the corn.
'Come in' she said, 'I'll give you shelter from the storm.'"

Bull Durham just started. Even though I have it on DVD it's still nice to see it pop-up now and again.

I shouldn't admit this but I don't think I have ever seen Bull Durham start to finish. Just bits and pieces when it "pops up"

I hate that uneasy feeling. You can't put a finger on it and yet it is there, nagging at the back of your mind. At the same time, I've found anyway, if you think about it long enough you will discover it's core. Maybe you just don't want to face it so you suppress it and hope it goes away. A very smart man told me once that we always know what causes our funks and what torments our minds we just don't always want to face it or admit it. Food for thought, anyway.
Now get off your ass and get some work done! May will be here before you know it!
