Nobody Left To Run With

Jesus Sense
Everybody wants to know where Jimmy has gone
He left town, I doubt if he's coming back home
Well Tony got a job, three kids and a lovely wife
Working at the commerce bank for the rest of his life
[Chorus]
Nobody left to run with anymore
Nobody left to do the crazy things we used to do before
Nobody left to run with anymore
I'm gonna hit the road, adios my friend
Go someplace and start all over again
Don't know where I'm going, like a gypsy out on the road
I'll go someplace and join a traveling show
[Chorus]
Nobody left to run with anymore
Nobody wants to do the crazy things we used to do before
Nobody left to run with anymore
Nobody left to run with anymore
Nobody left to run with anymore
I think Jimmy must have had the right idea
Packed his stuff and he got right out of here
I don't know where he's at but I'm sure that he's ok
Now I realize what Jimmy was trying to say
[Chorus]
Nobody left to run with anymore
Nobody wants to do the crazy things we used to do before
Nobody left to run with anymore
Nobody left to run with anymore
Nobody left to run with anymore

And So Today, My World It Smiles...

Led Zeppelin Avacado
this crazy scheme of mine is actually coming along far too nicely for my taste. I threw out like 80% of my computer junk this afternoon. Also got some applications for various places that i would like to work in my spare time.My cds and records are in a place that shall remain accessible until the very end. I put a lot of my stereo equipment away as well. Also, all of my video game systems and most of the games have been put away.
this whole mess is confusing me. on the one hand, everything is still iffy. moreso now with the almost nine hundred dollars more of work that had to be done to my car the other day. yet, i am still putting things away, and looking for a job, and that sort of thing. idunno what will become of this, but it should be a fun ride!

Rebels Been Rebels Since I Don't Know When

Original Title: Men are women's fashion victims. Some of the hottest trends just confuse the poor guys

Starbucks
The majority of men have no sense of fashion, but some women pay a little too much attention to what's coming down the runway.
It's a little-known secret that although most men find the bodies of models attractive, they are completely baffled by their makeup, clothes and hairstyles. Women who adopt these trends may be surprised to find they are repelling those they are trying to attract.
Let's be clear: No one's begrudging anyone a no-fuss haircut or comfortable clothes. God knows men have perfected that art and have no right to pass judgment.
But if you spend a significant chunk of your free time prowling for men, you deserve to know that your new belly-button ring and those weird streaks you put in your hair aren't really turning us on.
Based on hours of unscientific polling, below are some of the fashion trends that puzzle men the most, in no particular order:
-- Peasant blouses: If you're wearing the peasant blouse strictly for comfort, good for you. Most men secretly dream of the day that it will be socially acceptable for guys to wear shirts with billowy sleeves. But if you're trying to attract men, you would be better off in a fluffy down parka. As far as most men are concerned, peasant blouses are a trend that can't go out of style too soon.
-- Little backpacks: The great thing about backpacks is they hold a lot of stuff. Buying a little backpack that will hold only your wallet and two aspirin is like buying a refrigerator that can fit only half a burrito and a can of Red Bull. Another problem with the little backpack: From a distance, it looks kind of like a normal-size backpack being worn by someone really, really big. You may be petite, but a potential suitor might mistakenly think you're 8 feet tall and weigh 550 pounds.
-- Chin-length bob haircuts: Short hair is totally sexy. Long hair is totally sexy. But very few men will honestly admit that they prefer the unfortunate hair limbo that is the chin-length bob. Popularized most recently by author Donna Tartt, "Survivor" contestant Erin Collins and the cast of the movie "Chicago," this haircut makes a shudder run through the spines of men when they see someone famous running around with it, because it might lead to their wife or girlfriend coming home with the same thing.
-- Boots with pointy toes: Giant black boots that come to a point at the toe are OK when you're dressing as the Wicked Witch of the West on Halloween. But on days when it's not socially acceptable to play dress-up, most guys are confused by this trend. Men are already perplexed by the female shoe fetish, so why confuse them any further by purchasing shoes that look like weapons? We all know your feet don't really come to a point at the end, and even if they did, we wouldn't find them particularly exciting.
-- Square thick-rimmed power glasses: At first, the whole sexy-librarian look was pretty hot. But somewhere between Lisa Loeb and Ashleigh Banfield, you went too far and lost us. Now all we think about when we see the square thick-rimmed power glasses is Clark Kent. If you have astigmatism, work part time as a welder or need a secret identity to fight crime, we promise not to hold it against you. For everyone else, feel free to stay away from the Buddy Holly section next time you head to LensCrafter.
-- Jennifer Aniston hair: Few people know this, but Jennifer Aniston was designed by a top-secret team of scientists in a successful attempt to create the perfect-looking woman in the eyes of a 15-year-old boy. The "Friends" star could shave her head bald and cover her dome with Thousand Island dressing, and she would still be one of the 10 hottest women on the planet. But although Aniston has had the occasional normal haircut in recent years, many of her looks have been intentionally goofy to prove that any ridiculous haircut looks good on her. Replicate them at your own risk.
-- Impossibly large fake breasts: This is not on the list strictly to curry favor. Fake breasts are OK if there's a sense of mystery. But when they're so big and spherical that people don't debate whether they're real anymore, it's time to leave some silicone behind for the future generations. When guys see a tiny-waisted woman with breasts that are impossible in nature, they don't think "Sexy!" They think, "There's a girl who's going to have back problems before she's 35!"
-- Anything worn by Sarah Jessica Parker on "Sex and the City": Pretend for a second that you're a man, and you see three women at a bar. Woman No. 1 is wearing a simple Audrey Hepburn-style black dress. Woman No. 2 is in a well- cut business suit with a white silk blouse. Woman No. 3 is wearing a pink tutu with white feathers pasted on the butt, a men's V-neck T-shirt and a cheap gold chain around her neck that says "Carrie."
Whom do you want to get to know better?
Commentary from the San Fransisco Chronicle. I completely agree.

Going To California

Cat
Going To California
(Page/Plant)
Spent my days with a woman unkind, Smoked my stuff and drank all my wine.
Made up my mind to make a new start, Going To California with an aching in my heart.
Someone told me there's a girl out there with love in her eyes and flowers in her hair.
Took my chances on a big jet plane, never let them tell you that they're all the same.
The sea was red and the sky was grey, wondered how tomorrow could ever follow today.
The mountains and the canyons started to tremble and shake
as the children of the sun began to awake.
Seems that the wrath of the Gods
Got a punch on the nose and it started to flow;
I think I might be sinking.
Throw me a line if I reach it in time
I'll meet you up there where the path
Runs straight and high.
To find a queen without a king,
They say she plays guitar and cries and sings... la la la
Ride a white mare in the footsteps of dawn
Tryin' to find a woman who's never, never, never been born.
Standing on a hill in my mountain of dreams,
Telling myself it's not as hard, hard, hard as it seems.

It would seem that I am going to go through with my plan this time. Which plan? you may be asking yourself (assuming you care).
Well, here goes.
I fully intend to go somewhere that it is warm and nice all the time. I have been thinking about Californina, but recent events are making me re-evaluate that decision. The plan calls for me to go somewhere between august and november of 2003.
From now until then, however, I am going to get a second job. I am going to save all of the money from that job that I can, hopefully all, but my car needed a severe amount of work done to it today :'( so i will probably pay that debt off with that money. I am going to rent one of those U-Stor things again, and start putting things away.
Once I go, I fully intend to leave almost everything in storage. Including the car, which will have long since been paid off. Really, the only thing I plan to take is my Laptop, and some clothes. Get an apartment with the money I saved, and then get a job. I can then put the remainder of my savings back into the bank, and then go on pretty much like i am now.
I will furnish the apartment with things i pick up from wherever for rather cheap. After I get everything squared away (6-12 months after i go there) i will fly back to indy, rent a U-Haul, and take my posessions back with me.
It would seem that i am actually going to do it, because i have already started getting boxes. another part of the plan includes copying all of my music to .wma files, and then buring them on to a few CD-Rs. I can listen to those as i please from my laptop or mp3 player. i started on that tonight too.
I am shortly going to either upgrade my laptop, or just buy a new one. haven't decided yet. either way, there will be a modem and internet access. this thing will be updated sporadically, and i will still have fun with instant messengers and emails.
i gots to go to mom's now. goodnight

Your Job's a Joke, You're Broke and Your Love Life's DOA

Starbucks
Wow! just got done talking to one of my co-workers. we basically had a big argument. it was fun.
she called me an ass a lot and griped about how i would not tell her who "padre" who signed the guestbook on my real site is. the way i see it, if she wants anyone to know who she is, she will identify herself.
the fact that reagan (and probably no one else at work) knows about any of our excursions to the real world is good for both of us. i don't feel so bad when i give reagan a hard time about our "mutual friend"
enough from me

ONE OF THESE DAYS I AM GOING TO CUT YOU INTO LITTLE PIECES

Raptors
One of these days I am going to add myself to my list of "perpetual ignorage."
I swear I am the only one who hasn't.
Yes, the title, by the way, is the one line from the song "One of These Days" by Pink Floyd.
