captain_philmy watch is over!! Not a bad week on call overall, 10 hours OT, including my first damaged fiber outage, otherwise smooth sailing. I'm feeling better from the crud too, I think I'll spend my day trying to get past a couple more missions in "Mafia", after I go to South Point and drop the on call pager off of course, and maybe make a best buy run so I can connect the x-box to the nightmare that is my TV/VCR/DVD system.
Since it's Monday, howzabout a little
He Was In Heaven Before He Died
©John Prine
There's a rainbow of babies
Draped over the graveyard
Where all the dead sailors
Wait for their brides
And the cold bitter snow
Has strangled each grassblade
Where the salt from their tears
Washed out with the tide
Chorus
And I smiled on the Wabash
The last time I passed it
Yes I gave her a wink
From the passenger side
And my foot fell asleep
As I swallowed my candy
Knowing he was in heaven
Before he died
Now the harbor's on fire
With the dreams and desires
Of a thousand young poets
Who failed 'cause they tried
For a rhyme without reason
Floats down to the bottom
Where the scavengers eat 'em
And wash in with the tide
Repeat Chorus:
The sun can play tricks
With your eyes on the highway
The moon can lay sideways
Till the ocean stands still
But a person can't tell
His best friend he loves him
Till time has stopped breathing
You're alone on the hill
Repeat Chorus:
and now, horriblescope time...
You could enjoy shopping today, PHILLIP. You'll be focused on improving the quality of your possessions. Maybe you have been thinking about buying a new car. You might find it helpful to visit a few car dealerships and compare prices. Or you could consider buying a new suit or shoes. You'll want to spruce up your wardrobe and present a more powerful image. You might be tempted to invest in a few status items.
