I carry the dust of a journey
That cannot be shaken away
It lives deep within me
For I breathe it every day

You and I are yesterdays answers
The earth of the past come to flesh
Eroded by times rivers
To the shapes we now possess.

Come share of my breath and my substance
And mingle our streams and our times
In bright infinite moments
Our reasons are lost in our rhymes.

Lead me from tortured dreams
Childhood themes of nights alone
Wipe away endless years
Childhood tears as dry as stone

From seeds of confusion
Illusions dark blossoms have grown
Even now in furrows of sorrow
The doubt still is sown

My life's course is guided
Decided by limits drawn
On charts of my past ways
And pathways since I was born

The wall on which the prophets wrote
Is cracking at the seams.
Upon the instruments of death
The sunlight brightly gleams.
When every man is torn apart
With nightmares and with dreams,
Will no one lay the laurel wreath
When silence drowns the screams.

Confusion will be my epitaph.
As I crawl a cracked and broken path
If we make it we can all sit back and laugh.
But I fear tomorrow I'll be crying,
Yes I fear tomorrow I'll be crying.
Yes I fear tomorrow I'll be crying

Between the iron gates of fate
The seeds of time were sown
And watered by the deeds of those
Who know and who are known.
Knowledge is a deadly friend
If no one sets the rules.
The fate of all mankind I see
Is in the hands of fools.

The wall on which the prophets wrote
Is cracking at the seams.
Upon the instruments of death
The sunlight brightly gleams.
When every man is torn apart
With nightmares and with dreams,
Will no one lay the laurel wreath
When silence drowns the screams.

Confusion will be my epitaph.
As I crawl a cracked and broken path
If we make it we can all sit back and laugh.
But I fear tomorrow I'll be crying,
Yes I fear tomorrow I'll be crying.
Yes I fear tomorrow I'll be crying
Crying..
Crying...
Yes I fear tomorrow I'll be crying
Yes I fear tomorrow I'll be crying
Yes I fear tomorrow I'll be crying
Crying...

From my favorite album of all time ( hard to pick just one, but if I had to, this would be it)



Remember when you were young, you shone like the sun.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Now there's a look in your eyes, like black holes in the sky.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
You were caught in the crossfire of childhood and stardom, blown on the steel breeze.
Come on you target for faraway laughter, come on you stranger, you legend, you martyr, and shine!

You reached for the secret too soon, you cried for the moon.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Threatened by shadows at night, and exposed in the light.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Well you wore out your welcome with random precision, rode on the steel breeze.
Come on you raver, you seer of visions, come on you painter, you piper, you prisoner, and shine!


Nobody knows where you are, how near or how far.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Pile on many more layers and I'll be joining you there.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
And we'll bask in the shadow of yesterday's triumph,
sail on the steel breeze.
Come on you boy child, you winner and loser,
come on you miner for truth and delusion, and shine

An Austrian maid asks the wife who employs her for a pay raise.

The wife became very angry about this and decided to talk to her about this raise.

She asked, “Now Anna, why do you think you should get a pay increase?”

“Well, madam, there are tree reasons why I should. The 1st is that I do iron better than you.”

Wife: “Who said you iron better than me?”

Anna: “Your husband he say so.”

Wife: “Oh yeah?”

The second reason : “Annaeez that I am a better cook than you.”

Wife: “That’s a lie, who said you were a better cook than me?”

Anna: “Your hozban he did.”

Wife increasingly agitated: “Oh he did, did he?”

Anna: “The third reason is that I am better than you in bed.”

The wife, really boiling now and through gritted teeth, asks, “And did my husband say that as well?”

Anna: “No Madam… The gardener did.”

(A moment of silence passes…)

“So… how much do you want?”

When you're falling awake and you take stock of the new day,
and you hear your voice croak as you choke on what you need to say,
well, don't you fret, don't you fear,
I will give you good cheer.

Life's a long song.
Life's a long song.
Life's a long song.

If you wait then your plate I will fill.

As the verses unfold and your soul suffers the long day,
and the twelve o'clock gloom spins the room,
you struggle on your way.
Well, don't you sigh, don't you cry,
lick the dust from your eye.

Life's a long song.
Life's a long song.
Life's a long song.

We will meet in the sweet light of dawn.

As the Baker Street train spills your pain all over your new dress,
and the symphony sounds underground put you under duress,
well don't you squeal as the heel grinds you under the wheel.

Life's a long song.
Life's a long song.
Life's a long song.

But the tune ends too soon for us all.

Muscled, black with steel-green eye
swishing through the rye grass
with thoughts of mouse-and-apple pie.
Tail balancing at half-mast.
...And the mouse police never sleeps ---
lying in the cherry tree.
Savage bed foot-warmer of purest feline ancestry.
Look out, little furry folk!
He's the all-night working cat.
Eats but one in every ten ---
leaves the others on the mat.
...And the mouse police never sleeps ---
waiting by the cellar door.
Window-box town crier;
birth and death registrar.
With claws that rake a furrow red ---
licensed to multilate.
From warm milk on a lazy day
to dawn patrol on hungry hate.
...No, the mouse police never sleeps ---
climbing on the ivy.
Windy roof-top weathercock.
Warm-blooded night on a cold tile.

Look up, what do you see?
all of you and all of me
florescent and starry
some of them, they surprise

the bus ride, I went to write this, 4:00 a.m.
this letter
fields of poppies, little pearls
all the boys and all the girls sweet-toothed
each and every one a little scary
I said your name

I wore it like a badge of teenage film stars
hash bars, cherry mash and tinfoil tiaras
dreaming of Maria Callas
whoever she is
this fame thing, I don't get it
I wrap my hand in plastic to try to look through it
Maybelline eyes and girl-as-boy moves
I can take you far
this star thing, I don't get it

I'll take you over, there
I'll take you over, there
aluminum, tastes like fear
adrenaline, it pulls us near
I'll take you over
it tastes like fear, there
I'll take you over

will you live to 83?
will you ever welcome me?
will you show me something that nobody else has seen?
smoke it, drink
here comes the flood
anything to thin the blood
these corrosives do their magic slowly and sweet
phone, eat it, drink
just another .....
cuts and dents, they catch the light
aluminum, the weakest link

I don't want to disappoint you
I'm not here to anoint you
I would lick your feet
but is that the sickest move?
I wear my own crown and sadness and sorrow
and who'd have thought tomorrow could be so strange?
my loss, and here we go again

I'll take you over, there
I'll take you over, there
aluminum, tastes like fear
adrenaline, it pulls us near
I'll take you over
it tastes like fear, there
I'll take you over

look up, what do you see?
all of you and all of me
florescent and starry
some of them, they surprise

I can't look it in the eyes
seconal, Spanish fly, absinthe, kerosene
cherry-flavored neck and collar
I can smell the sorrow on your breath
the sweat, the victory and sorrow
the smell of fear, I got it

I'll take you over, there
I'll take you over, there
aluminum, tastes like fear
adrenaline, it pulls us near
I'll take you over
it tastes like fear, there
I'll take you over

pulls us near
tastes like fear...

nearer, nearer
over, over, over, over
yeah, look over
I'll take you there, oh, yeah
I'll take you there
oh, over
I'll take you there
over, let me
I'll take you there...
there, there, baby, yeah

This is a band out of South Alabama that used to play in my area (NOLA - Miss Gulf Coast)
I think they are very good.



I fell against the floor
As i looked out to the stars
A movement caught my eye
I'm suddenly transformed

Chorus:
I'm walking alone
On this dirty road
Kicking up dust
I'm standing alone
In this empty street
I move in outer space

The fall has let me keep
My father's words in heart
Mystically i'm healed
His arms are open wide
A movement caught my eye

(chorus)
Lost, in this evening
Look on your face
Lost and out of place
Lost, in this evening
Look on your face
Lost and out of place

Like i'd left you there

Falling asleep
In the backseat
The radio is on
I feel alive
Only when it's dark out
Only when it's quiet
Lost all my strength
While gazing out
The backglass
As powerlines rush
By like my life
I'm alive
A satellite
A satellite

Chorus:
Take courage in this thing
You're in a sleepless time
Your lonliness is fashioned
From the holiest of days
In the palace hear you sing
Hiding from the lies
Your orbit's
Left you stranded
Drifting in the sea

I cannot think
Here must be forgotten
All your aches and woes
I cannot move
Once was in the shadows
Now pulled forth in light
Come and take my hand child
Follow only me
Satellite
Satellite, satellite

(Chorus)
After the fall
It's a horrible thing
A secret thing
She won't be saved
It's a complex thing
Unusual thing
I saw the seasons change
An endless stream
Of days gone by
She turned
To see the faces
Can't she see
Just how sad they seem
After the rain
The road's so black
Was my heart so black
Dry like the leaves
It blows me away
It tears me away

Nothing like a fresh coil:)

I went to a local vape shop (we have two in my area) I figured they would sell the coils for the big baby beast tank as Smok is a pretty popular tank, and they did. While I was there I asked if they had the coils for my Innokin Scion tank, which I didn't expect them to have (they did). I called every vape shop, except this particular one on Friday looking for the Scion coils. Some that are 50 miles away (but close to my work). No one had them. I didn't call the one that I went to today because it's a little, small shop, kinda rundown. Best of all their pricing wasn't bad. A little high but not a lot. I have two Scion tanks and nine coils arriving USPS tomorrow, but the coil that I was using was way past its prime. So now I'm enjoying a fresh coil in the Scion and Big Baby Beast and Krusty is a happy clown!!!!!
