One I Like

Finally, a commercial I actually like. I'm still chuckling at the idea of Banksters as chickens.

It's Official. Sad, But Real

"A Thousand Kisses Deep"

The ponies run, the girls are young,
The odds are there to beat.
You win a while, and then it’s done –
Your little winning streak.
And summoned now to deal
With your invincible defeat,
You live your life as if it’s real,
A Thousand Kisses Deep.

I’m turning tricks, I’m getting fixed,
I’m back on Boogie Street.
You lose your grip, and then you slip
Into the Masterpiece.
And maybe I had miles to drive,
And promises to keep:
You ditch it all to stay alive,
A Thousand Kisses Deep.

And sometimes when the night is slow,
The wretched and the meek,
We gather up our hearts and go,
A Thousand Kisses Deep.

Confined to sex, we pressed against
The limits of the sea:
I saw there were no oceans left
For scavengers like me.
I made it to the forward deck.
I blessed our remnant fleet –
And then consented to be wrecked,
A Thousand Kisses Deep.

I’m turning tricks, I’m getting fixed,
I’m back on Boogie Street.
I guess they won’t exchange the gifts
That you were meant to keep.
And quiet is the thought of you,
The file on you complete,
Except what we forgot to do,
A Thousand Kisses Deep.

And sometimes when the night is slow,
The wretched and the meek,
We gather up our hearts and go,
A Thousand Kisses Deep.

The ponies run, the girls are young,
The odds are there to beat . . .

Fall

I'm not completely over that nasty cold, but mostly so.
Feeling much better and enjoying the decidedly fall-like weather. Halloween is going to be on a Saturday night this year which will likely add to the chaos. We'll see.

I know I've posted it before, but why not?

Sick

So I spent a couple 14 hour days last week helping someone move in the rain and now I'm sick. I think I got it from her kid. Nobody told me he was sick until after he handed me food and I ate it. Then long days in the rain.

Oh, and the Aussies rock again. They apparently didn't suffer a recession like everybody else. And they shocked the financial world today. Go figure. :-)
