Buying A Gun

You said I'm gonna buy this place and burn it down,
I'm gonna put it six feet underground,
You said I'm gonna buy this place and watch it fall,
Stand here beside me baby in the crumbling walls,
Oh I'm gonna buy this place and start a fire,
Stand here until I fill all your hearts desires,
Because I'm gonna buy this place and see it burn,
And do back the things it did to you in return

You said I'm gonna buy a gun and start a war,
If you can tell me something worth fighting for,
Oh and I'm gonna buy this place is what I said,
Blame it upon a rush of blood to the head

Honey, all the movements you're starting to make,
See me crumble and fall on my face,
And I know the mistakes that I've made,
See it all disappear without a trace,
And they call as they beckon you on,
They say start as you need to go on,
Start as you need to go on,
Start as you need to go on

Said I'm gonna buy this place and see it go,
Stand here beside me baby, watch the orange glow,
Some'll laugh and some just sit and cry,
You just sit down there and you wonder why,

So I'm gonna buy a gun and start a war,
If you can tell me something worth fighting for,
I'm gonna buy this place is what I said,
Blame it upon a rush of blood to the head,
Oh to the head

Coz' honey, all the movements you're starting to make,
See me crumble and fall on my face,
And I know the mistakes that I've made,
See it all disappear without a trace,
And they call as they beckon you on,
They say start as you need to go on,
As you need to go on
As you need to go on

So meet me by the bridge,
Meet me by the lane,
When am I gonna see that pretty face again,
Oh meet me on the road,
Meet me where I said,
Blame it all upon a rush of blood to the head

Too Busy For Words

Yup, that is right.

Devil In Chicago

Last week, I went to see Chicago. I know the movie is getting a lot of hype, but none of it reached me. I had never heard of the flick. So I was blown away... it is without a doubt the best movie this year. It would be foolish to miss this movie playing in the theater.

I saw Daredevil last night. I generally enjoy superhero movies, so this was no exception. Good and fun story line... and full of great fight sequences. I give it two thumbs up, but you can wait until this one hits DVD.

Make It Three

We are now onto day three of rain. I am not sure anyone down here knows how to drive in the rain... scary to say the least.

Rainy Days

It has been raining for about 2 days straight. I think the Southland knows that DZ is coming.

Wasted Weekend

I had a lot of plans for this past weekend... and nothing got done. I spent most the weekend on my lovely ill state that I seem to visit a little too often. Evertime I get this flu, I end up having to go get a shot just to be able to drink water... or at least to keep the water down.

It is Monday... I am not feeling my best, but I am feeling good enough to work... so that is what I am doing.

TMP

Made some late night changes... and some early morning changes to TMP. It is starting to turn into whatever it is going to be. I even made a new desktop to celebrate the new design.

Programming

I am doing some web programming at work. I really enjoy building sites... which is something that I already knew, but was reminded of.

Tell Me Why

When did it become popular to label your car? I am developing a new pet peeve. There is something that irks me about a Silverado with the whole back window taken up by a decal informing me that the Chevy Silverado that I am looking at is powered by Chevy. If you are going to put a large decal on your car... why on earth would you tell me something that I already know? Rice rockets are the most common offenders... if it is a Honda Accord, why a big red decal that says "Honda" over the whole rear window? Why? I even saw a Dodge Neon on the way home last night with a huge decal announcing to the world that is was powered by a 1.3 liter Dodge engine. Why would you spend good money to tell the planet that your car has the smallest stock engine that Dodge makes... in your Dodge Neon.

I hate beer-guzzling idiots, but I feel the money would be better spent on a keg versus a large decal stating the obvious.

Bitter Coffee

Here we are again... looking at one another, but nothing to say. Our relationship has never been that great... rarely has anything positive come from it. I wish Monday would just go away.

Return To Orange

A big welcome back to Manda! It is good to have you back in Orange County.

A much belated Happy Birthday to Mr. Petro, King of the Guitar. Sorry to hear that you had a crappy birthday. I hope my little gift helps you feel a little better.

Tomorrow is another crazy day at work... and I start school on Wednesday. Yippee.

Babies

Went to the coolest baby shower ever. Fun games and good food. Followed up with a trip to Dave & Busters. (Side note: There are a lot of games that expectant mothers cannot play.)

We were going to see Just Dave afterwards, but... I am old. I just cannot party... or even stay up all night anymore.
