Lyrics Sunday!
You moved in to my hotel.
You could have done better but, oh, well. I tapped your phones, I read your mail. We split the rent but
you couldn't make the bail. (Make the bail.)
Now, you never listened to the fables. You just danced to the symphony of the musical sound of your ever-expanding sea (ever-expanding sea).
And now, with your hair turning so white, you live in your car and drive (Drive.) all night. You think about J.D. and why he had to leave, kneeling
in some bunker, wiping his nose on his sleeve.
And I hope you don't mind if I grab your private life, slap it on the table and split it with a knife.

...post otherwise known as the joy of Photoshop. {:
dreamy. I thought smog was bad for ya?
(did a few photoshops my self last weekend)
Yeah, but how did you make your pictures so smoggy? Stylish post..you seem to have quite the entourage of stuff.
I may have missed it, but when does the journey end?
Whoa, Sistah. You must have some strong arms from hauling all the stuff around. ;-)
Ahh, I miss having a Mac. Hopefully someday soon.
ooh sort of depressing
i wish i could live out of a few boxes and suitcases...oh wait i do i just don't have the boxes n suitcases and i stay in one place :)
hey poe,
bill callahan has a new solo record out i hear. i think it's called "sometimes i wish i were and eagle."
That song is intensely sad sounding. Are you feeling down about being w/o a home at the moment? I hope not cause I know many of us are insanely jealous of your freedom. Granted, that freedom isn't always what it is cracked up to be, there are costs involved, ie. giving up the comfort of an established abode. But it seems you are making the best of this opportunity.
This post is my art boost for the day
this would be the joy of commenting for me!
Scotty, check out yo avatar! say, what's the red-handle thingie in the photo?
Cody, omigod, my excess baggage alone is worth a million horror stories, told from different countries.
you did not miss it. the journey ends, temporarily, tomorrow, Tuesday, which also happens to be my sister-with-the-awesome-name's birthday. :::sob:::
LMI, even better, i have the strong will to look like i need help when i truly do. {: in my latest Bangkok to Ho Chi Minh trip, this most amazing American carried my bags at the check-in counter and on the plane coming and going. i was like, "This will sound so Chinese but, God, I wish you a long life." LOL.
Pimpy, oh, man, thanks for the tunage. i am about to stay put for a while now. Lord knows i will so miss this nomadic life. (;
Jeff, hey, i did not know about that solo record, thanks for telling me. the title alone is getting me excited, and how appropriate!
Aug, yeah, darkling, i first need to unload so much stuff into my mother's home and kind of make money to go again. however, i have evil plans to keep traveling within the Philippines once there so all is not lost. (8
Dar, heheh, that Photoshop filter gallery is mighty useful, it turns out.
Kevin, how awesome smart is your comment? wish i thought of that one!
Mojo's a screamer, eh? I could try and convince you it was my interstellar communicator, but, alas, it is merely a grill lighter. But I like the way it came out.
ahahah. interstellar communicators never go outta style. ;d
unless you try to use them on a crippled cat that ate a rainbow...they fuzz out at yellow. Did you draw that? it's wheel-cheery.
I applaud you for traveling heavy. Yeah, these days you get hit up with extra charges and all that, but it's still the only way to go. You should consider a steamer trunk....
Scott, that was all very, uh, hallucinogenic. naw, i found the wheel-cheery cat on the internet.
Bill, a steamer trunk! i should've considered that before right now that i am at the airport and just got slapped an excess baggage of 30 kilos. aaaggghhh!
i really travel light but, as i am coming off of a 2-year residence in Cambodia, i have no choice but to lug these things around with me. no more ... as of today, i am depositing them in mom's home.
see y'all from Manila. ;d
Bill Callahan's new solo CD "Sometimes I Wish We Were an Eagle" is amazing. Check it out!
Our nomad has returned to the homestead? Astonishing. Since you're there, do you mind forwarding me a few of those Manila envelopes? I hear they give 'em away on the streets over there. (Sorry. Must be the Smog affecting me...)
