"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... smile

Fear not, Cubs fan here! My heart belongs in the Midwest.

I hope you had a good day today.

I'm never, ever far from home,
But I'll build a geodesic dome
And sail away."

I'm been a whiny bastard for the last little while, haven't I? I shouldn't be taking up you good people's time with this crap, when I imagine in two weeks I'll be singing a diffrent tune if I know myself. Stupid...

Maybe I should start with... I love your journals and wanted to wish you well in case my insight proves to be mediocre.

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 just want to be."

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


"I was burned out from exhaustion, buried in the hail.
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.'"

Anyone...

You are so restless...what is it you need? What will calm you? Why are your losses so great?
What is worse, mourning something you've lost or feeling you are losing something and are powerless to stop it?

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


"He fucks like he pitches, sort of all over the place."

"Get a hit Crash"

"Shut up"

"Chicken bone cross. Takes the curse off the bat and brings me hits."

"We're dealing with a lot of shit here."

catiedid:
If you find someone who will pay you to hang out, let me know, I want his number! And yes, I have to hold on the belief May will be here sooner rather than later. I long for the smell of spring.

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" shocked

Could be a chick, I wouldn't mind that either wink

"I once loved a girl. Her skin it was bronze. With the innocence of a lamb she was gentle like a fawn. I courted her proudly. Now she is gone, gone as the season she's taken."

Do not fear, the sands sing for everyone.

I feel your restlessness and I understand it completely. What are you embarking on? And what scares you about it?

catiedid:
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!

"Who let the dogs out...." FRANK! That's a funny part of an overrated movie. I have to admit I've watched it enough to form that opinion. Why are you watching Men in Black, when the Bud shootout is on! Jamie McMurray won the first segment...Jeff led for most of the first part...Jr came from 18th to finish 5th.. smile

There's evil on them streets tonight and I have a feeling it's looking for me.

Jeff Gordon? Really? I didn't think anyone liked him but my mother. You'd sure notice his lack of love at the track...the boos are almost embarrassing. But yeah, you sport your rainbow warrior shirt...and I'll enjoy my number 8 tank top and an ice cold bud light... wink

R.I.P. Ilsa. Cleaned out an old hard drive and found a picture of Ilsa, maybe the sweetest dog ever to steal a whitefish off a buffet table.

Exactly!! Nothing better for a hangover than grease!! And even better when someone delivers it to you while still in bed.

I hope you are no longer house bound. No fun to feel the walls closing in on you.

TIVO and percocet would definitely make staying at home more enjoyable. TIVO has become my best friend over the past year or so. A little scared at first, pausing TV seems unnatural, but I have come to embrace it and it has improved my TV watching experience! WOW I need to get out more and away from the box... whatever

mmmm narcotics and donuts. Life, for this brief moment, is so good. And the sun has peeked in and it's balmy and in the forties. Pitchers and Catchers report to Port St. Lucie in two weeks. Spring training is the best place on earth. One minute you are trudging through the grey snow of a Manhattan winter, then suddenly, wham! The smell of the outfield,...

No problem ... I don't know why no one mentioned it in your All-Star thread.

sounds like you are hooked the fuck up. I'm jealous.
