Tired

Rie Fu is like the Japanese version of Michelle Branch. It's interesting. She sounds like old Michelle Branch before she joined up with what's her name to form 'The Wreckers (Yeah..good band name there). Check out Rie Fu at Wiki download the song these lyrics go to here (Right click and save as)

Rie Fu - Life is Like a Boat (Bleach Closing Theme)

Nobody knows who I really am
I never felt this empty before
And if I ever need someone to come along,
Who's gonna comfort me, and keep me strong?

We are all rowing the boat of fate
The waves keep on coming and we can't escape
But if we ever get lost on our way
The waves would guide you through another day

dooku de iki o shiteru toomei ni natta mitai
kudayami ni omoe dakedo mekaku shisarete tadake

inori o sasagete atarashii hi o matsu
asayaka ni hikaru umi sono hate made

Nobody knows who I really am
Maybe they just don't give a damn
But if I ever need someone to come along
I know you would follow me, and keep me strong

hito no kokoro wa utsuriyuku mukedashiteku naru
tsuki wa mada atarashii shuuki de mune o tsureteku

And every time I see your face
The ocean heaves up to my heart
You make me wanna strain at the oars, and soon
I can see the shore

Oh, I can see the shore
When will I see the shore?

I want you to know who I really am
I never thought I'd feel this way towards you
And if you ever need someone to come along,
I will follow you, and keep you strong

tabi wa mada tsuzuiteku odayakana hi mo
tsuki wa mata atarashii shuuki de ume o terashidasu

inori o sasagete atarashii hi o matsu
asayaka ni hikaru umi sono hate made

And every time I see your face
The ocean heaves up to my heart
You make me wanna strain at the oars, and soon
I can see the shore

Unmei no huneoko gi nami wa tsugi kara tsuki e to watashi-tachi o sou kedo
Sore mo suteki na tabi ne, dore mo suteki na tabi ne

The Martyr

For the past couple of days Joan has been in the hospital. I'm happy to say today she had her surgery and seems to be recovering just fine.

PS This song has nothing to do with the news about Joan, I just heard it on the radio the other day and really dig it.

Blue October - Hate Me

I have to block out thoughts of you so I don't lose my head
They crawl in like a cockroach leaving babies in my bed
Dropping little reels of tape to remind me that I'm alone
Playing movies in my head that make a porno feel like home
There's a burning in my pride, a nervous bleeding in my brain
An ounce of peace is all I want for you. Will you never call again?
And will you never say that you love me just to put it in my face?
And will you never try to reach me? It is I that wanted space

Hate me today
Hate me tomorrow
Hate me so you can finally see what's good for you

I'm sober now for 3 whole months it's one accomplishment that you helped me with
The one thing that always tore us apart is the one thing I won't touch again
In a sick way I want to thank you for holding my head up late at night
While I was busy waging wars on myself, you were trying to stop the fight
You never doubted my warped opinions on things like suicidal hate
You made me compliment myself when it was way too hard to take
So I'll drive so fucking far away that I never cross your mind
And do whatever it takes in your heart to leave me behind

Hate me today
Hate me tomorrow
Hate me for all the things I didn't do for you

Hate me in ways
Yeah ways hard to swallow
Hate me so you can finally see what's good for you

And with a sad heart I say bye to you and wave
Kicking shadows on the street for every mistake that I had made
And like a baby boy I never was a man
Until I saw your blue eyes crying and I held your face in my hand
And then I fell down yelling "make it go away!"
Just make a smile come back and shine just like it used to be
And then she whispered "How can you do this to me?"

Hate me today
Hate me tomorrow
Hate me for all the things I didn't do for you

Hate me in ways
Yeah ways hard to swallow
Hate me so you can finally see what's good for you

Drink one for..

The stars can suck it

Daily extended (by Astrology.com)(Aquarius)

If you are seeking inspiration right now, look to the sources of frustration in your life. It might sound counterintuitive, but the stars say that's the right idea. The things that are rubbing you the wrong way are doing so for a very good reason. Discover that reason, and you will find a solution to a growing problem. Fresh ideas are grown out of stale situations, so as soon as you mix things up a bit, a whole new world will open up to you.

There's something to be said to working to MC Chris's Fett's Vette on repeat. Mind numbing yet amusing. Donovan was in town over the weekend so we had to gather some of the troops who were in town to go to his fav piano bar. Hmm.. that doesn't really sound right but yeah it's a piano bar and it's pretty fun and oddly filled with a plethora of bachelorette parties.

Some people at work recently got laid off.. though they got severance and got their stock cashed out. That's pretty huge for some people since stock was at the highest it's been in a long time. This one guy who's in his mid 30s can pretty much retire or at least take a couple of years off. Damn.. lucky ass. I think at this point if they offered me 6 months paid I would take the package even without the stocks just so it would force me to either A) Move away from Chicago and/or B) Find a different job that pays well that I enjoy.

Don't feel like writing right now.

Later,

Damn.. it's October already.
