must be in the air...

No dreams about Starbucks or skateboarding Cheetahs for me last night, instead I bought a purple Dodge Dart from none other than Darius Rucker. Musta been the Burger King stop I made yesterday morning.

I was lured into watching Monster Garage, which featured this, last night via ogo by puck_nut, who is in Arlington this week for some work related classes. I watched "National Treasure" next before making a brief appearance on ICQ to chat with sharkbait for a bit before bed.

now for the regularly featured
You should enjoy spending a day off with your family today,
PHILLIP. It's a good day to relax, munch on leftovers, and spend some time
playing. You might have some nice conversations with family members about things
that are really important to you. You could gather some useful advice from loved
ones and feel better about your personal problems. Don't be afraid to share and
open up about your life today.

Flashback Blues

While window shopping through the past
I ran across a looking
glass
Reflecting moments remaining in a burned out light
Tragic magic
prayers of passion
Stay the same through changing fashions
They freeze my
mind like water on a winter's night

Spent most of my youth
Out hobo cruising
And all I got for
proof
Is rocks in my pockets and dirt in my shoes
So goodbye
nonbeliever
Don't you know that I hate to leave here
So long babe, I got
the flashback blues.

Photographs show the laughs
Recorded in between the bad
times
Happy sailors dancing on a sinking ship
Cloudy skies and dead fruit
flies
Waving goodbye with tears in my eyes
Well, sure I made it but ya
know it was as hell of a trip.

Spent most of my youth
Out hobo cruising
And all I got for
proof
Is rocks in my pockets and dirt in my shoes
And ten times what it
grieves you
That's how much more I hate to leave you now
So long babe, I
got the flashback blues.

Spent most of my youth
Out hobo cruising
And all I got for
proof
Is rocks in my pockets and dirt in my shoes
So goodbye
nonbeliever
Don't you know that I hate to leave here
So long babe, I got
the flashback blues.
