Your Eyes:

It's your eyes

that confuse me

It's your eyes

Oh that use me

I miss your very eyes

I miss your

smooth white lies

pass me a cigarette

maybe I can forget

Your eyes

that confuse me

It's your eyes

oh that use me

Give me another drink

that honey I can sink

all of these memories

that I can't get 

out of my mind

It's your eyes

that confuse me

your eyes

oh that use me

You won't have 

to look far

I'll be in the 

nearest bar

I feel so very

cold and I'm

feeling

so very old

Without your eyes

they confuse me

your eyes

oh that use me

I miss your very eyes

I miss your 

smooth white lies

pass me a cigarette

maybe I can forget

Your eyes

that confuse me

your eyes

Ah that use me

Your eyes ...

I also like "one way love" a lot... but I think it may be an Undertones cover...?  

someone enlighten me?

In this excerpt from wikipedia it eludes that because of the supposed "flop" of this

album, the band broke up.  In fact the break up was due to brian james' drive to make a move he thought would be more lucrative, and formed The Lords of the new church with Stiv Bators, from the Dead Boys.  Also contributing to the falling out were the continuous broken promises by Stiff records.  Stiff didn't think The Damned had any "staying power", that the act was a flash in the pan.  Stiff,  also looking to make more money went on to alienate the fans and artists on their label, by going on to release music from U2 and that one song by Frankie goes to Hollywood, which, in my opinion, has only one redeeming quality in that it was used in the soundtrack for the movie Zoolander.  U2... well, I don't even need to go into how much of a step down that was for Stiff, do I?  Anyway, not surprisingly, Stiff records was done by 1985.  Staying power?  yeeah.  

Well that's it for the first entry.  

OK.  WOW.  Black friday??  Someone please tell me that this shit didn't happen.  That way I wouldn't have to be ashamed to be apart of the human race.  This picture to the right, and the "people" depicted seems innocent enough, right?  But BEWARE!  One of them might stab you for an Xbox, or bludgeon you to death to beat you to the toy aisle.  Merry Christmas kids!  Mommy killed someone else's mommy for those toys!  YAY!   

I cannot convey how I'm feeling in an appropriate manner....  words cannot come close to expressing how disgusted I am.  For instance, what did you people in Nassau County tell your family when you got home after shopping yesterday???  Maybe a little something like this,"Oh yeah, a man got trampled and died, everyone was really excited to shop... I might've stepped on him a time or two.  ANYWAY, look at all the great deals I found!"  REALLY?!?!?  ahh!  Atrocious.  That man was murdered.  Murdered.  I can just imagine him watching all those discount white tennis shoes descending upon him, and him thinking, "I'm gonna go out like this? FUCK... I hope the next place is better.".  

I read a couple of articles about these incidents, and the journalists refer to it as "human nature"... WHAAA!?    How about that photo at the top?  It's like this;  I got my folgers coffee, freshly brewed at home, in my convenient cup I bought for $4.00 at big lots.  I got this great wind breaker I found at sears for $12.99... and I'm standing in this hoard of people in the freezing cold banging on the door of a wal mart... because, hell, it's 5am, on the day the TV calls, "black friday", and everyone else comes out to shop, so I should too. I wonder what else could possibly be going through these minds?  "Ima get me that stuff on sale or else!"  ???   It's human nature, guys... Don't worry about it.  Nothing we can do, let's just hire more cops, or maybe that new "army" Obama wants to institute for our "safety" can protect us from ourselves.  

I'm going to live in a tree house in the wilderness.  Just me and my son, and some guns and provisions for 20+ years.  goodbye assholes!  Actually, wait... maybe I should just start a crusade against WAL MART..  hmmm.  Which gets me thinking.  Who/What do you think is too blame for these incidents?

Nicotine, sugar, and caffeine.  Without these three KEY ingredients, this machine would not run. I'm okay with having dependencies on all three of these substances.  What are your vices? Secondary vices would most surely include; vinyl collecting, vintage dress buying, actually purchasing anything floats me boat.  

The only time I don't want music playing is when it's raining  ...  Have you ever met those people who say, "Music just isn't my thing.", or "I'm not really into music, I just listen to whatever is on the radio."  WHAT!?!?  fucking unbelievable.  How boring.   Did you realize that some people think what plays on the radio is the only music that exists?  YES it's very true and sad.  How is this possible? One might ponder...  Well, if you ask me I think that the majority of people are stupid, follower lemmings... with no original thought, and devoid of passion and drive.  They hear a blues song, they say, "I like blues."  and then, that's it!  Never bothering to learn more about that specific song, artist, album, genre.... not ever finding out what influences may have inspired that certain tune.... never walking in to a record store looking for the album.  So so sad.  So, when I run across peeps who are totally into zydeco or thrash metal, and they collect, know some history about the music,  and are open to hearing more, I salute them (not literally, I kinda salute them with my mind).  For they are free thinkers, with a thirst for an enjoyable sound.  Music, whatever it may be, if it gets you up in the morning, well then you rock.  That's it for now.

It's freezing and I'm finally happy.. Dry heat has a tendency to make me smad, (sad and mad at the same time) and I feel like myself more when it's rainy, cloudy, foggy, etc. FACSIST BULLY BOY

A plethora of life lessons can be gleaned from watching episodes of The Young Ones. Neil is definitely my fave. He probably would spell "definitely" correctly as well. He's the learned one of the group, and he's also in touch with his feminine side.

Unbelievably, I've decided to BLOG.  I have so many opinions, and things I love and hate... I felt the need to share using my puter.  

First things first:  What is with the 5 freeway?  Where are all those people going?  Why so fast?  Why so slow?  Why so angry? HAH. Exactly how many Hummers were distributed and sold in Orange County?  I can't stand the feeling I get when I embark on a mission to trader joe's...  It's only a few exits from my home yet I feel I could die on the way there... on the 5 freeway.  Could you imagine going out like that?  On your way to the grocery store, and someone cuts you off near a merging lane, and you die from the accident?  I'd be pissed!
