especially since one time
he left the gate open

my pillow

"my pillow" by Kevin McEntire



in high school i called the shots
made the team, hit all the party spots
you were my laaaaaady
you gave me this note on graduation day
you were my laaaaaady
and you were their when i went away

i put it under my pillow
so i can dream on it all night threw
its under my pillow
and i want to say that i thank you


you served the country
red white and blue
when times got rough
you pulled through
even though you went to kosovo
you sent me jewels
24 carrot chains
french shampoo
i sent you this letter
to show you i care and you...


put it under my pillow
so i can dream on it all night threw
its under my pillow
and i want to say that i thank you

when i came home i ran with the wrong crowd
got caught up, and then got brought down
you were my laaaaaady
you gave me this note at my sentencing
you were my laaaaaady
and you visit me every spring

I put it under my pillow
so i can dream on it all night threw
its under my pillow
and i want to say that i thank you


since you been locked up

and i got your name tatooed
beacuse your my soul mate
mate ma ma ma mate
my soul mate
mate ma ma ma mate


my soul mate
mate ma ma ma mate


and i want to say that i thank you

Future Holds True

"Future Holds True" By Topper

Key of C at the moment.

G C G C G C Adem.

Pilot take me out to float
Floatin free, Gravity goat
Touch a star
No need for a car.
Rocket boosters now pave the way
To the moon, thats where we play.

CHORUS:
Free Time, Its me time
Tellin stories of the fa fa fa future
Brand names, No Shame, we are one
Outer space its not a race, lets go to the sun
Tellin stories of the fa fa fa future

Patch your pants, clean your mask
Global trotting, its a task
For a man, shooting stars
In a can, dont blame me
For the moves
That keep you rockin free

CHORUS:
Free Time, Its me time
Tellin stories of the fa fa fa future
Brand names, No Shame, we are one
Outer space its not a race, lets go to the sun
Tellin stories of the fa fa fa future

Kick it!

Guitar/Sax Solo: Improv in Key
Winds of change babe, winds of change

Free fallin
Take a test and ace it
Moonwalkin, take the time to face it
Do what you need to get it done
Space travel, moon families, the good guys won

CHORUS:
Free Time, Its me time
Tellin stories of the fa fa fa future
Brand names, No Shame, we are one
Outer space its not a race, lets go to the sun
Tellin stories of the fa fa fa future

Orbit, space and atmosphere
Keep your mind moonbeam clear
Show stopper, cars made of copper
Keep on rockin, non stoppin, with Topper.
Tellin stories of the fa fa fa future

Jam it!

Cambridge Boulevard

"Cambridge Boulevard" by Jay Francol

As I quietly stroll the streets of Cambridge
Using Logic as my guide, my son is walking there with
Me, he shows his Harvard Pride

As we walked through Cambridge that sunny day
And we talked about our lives
White linen, brokerages, and Tarte aux Mures
We knew we'd done it right

And I told him accept nothing...From your family and career
but the very best in life
Then he took me by the arm and told me what I needed to hear

He's making:

(chorus)
Real big deals in the city
Sister made partner in the firm
On the mayor's reelection committee
My little Danny's going for his second term
(end chorus)

We had dinner out on Hampshire
Chardonnay Poached Leeks with Crème Fraiche Dressing
With Barbeito 1910 Bual
We finished with Galette des Rois and remembered:

When I was young I made

(chorus x2)

JUST A JOB, BOB

Look I haven't posted for a long time because i got as job!

I work at a traffic safety school for construction road workers, my previous experience came in handy and got me this job.

now for my question (my brrother told me not to post this because il look like a idiot, but here goes):

i spend most of the day lined up with three other people and our job is to announce instructions through blowhorns to people practicing out on the grounds. we all do the announcements at the same time.

my question:
since i have a blowhorn pressed up against my mouth most of the day i modified it by adding a plastic bladder so it holds water. that way i can take a drink after each announcement, and i dont have to carry a bottle. i tested it out and it works really good but i am afraid to put the battery into it because i might get electrocuted. does anyone know if you can get electrocuted from a blowhorn battery if the electricity goes into your mouth / throat if you take a drink from it?

i know it sounds stupid but i am serious. it took me forever to add the bladder and straw.

independence day

is it only me or does the 4th of july fireworks
show make your ears ring afterwards for a long time.
im afraid that it is damaging my hearing
plus the sounds are 2lound and sudden, i feel on
edge and my blood pressure goes way up during
the show i break in to a sweat and just wish that
i wasnt there. dont get me wrong i love liberty and
that but i hate fire work.

plus my brother larry always do a show in the yard
and i feel the same way. since he is really sick
this year im afraid that he
is going to ask me to do the shoe. and i feel
anxitey and nervous. just
with the noise ones not the sparklers. last year i
was doing a sparkler in oklahoma and i started the
shrubs on fire around my apartment, we were able to put it out
with just a bucket but i learned that fireworks are
too dangerous.

update: still no job, no prospects

cars and beach

ok so I have decide to stop with this whole job thing for a while because

1> I don't have any bills
2> i live with my brother and he has a good job
3> my family lives aound here and they said i can come by and get food anytime

the hole time i was working at the garden center i had to ride the dang bus. i haven't really had to get around much since i moved on LA i cant afford a car so i have to ride the bus. I had a car when i lived in okalhoma, a grand prix - but i crashed it into a flatbed semi at a rest stop in texas. it was night and i didnt see anything all of a sudden i was driving forward and i wrecked right into the flatbed part totaled the car and i didnt get even a scratch. i didnt have insurance but i covered the damage to the truck with some money i got from doing some plumming work for an apartment building in downtown tulsa

on happier news i went to the beach last weekend!!! i got on my swimsuit and hit the beach yeh i had to ride the bus and it was four hours round trip on the bus - but it was nice after i spent the day at the beach i realized that i didnt wat to ride the bus back in just my swimsuit (i didnt bring a shirt) and i called my brother to pick me up on his sportbike, but he didn't want to because he wasn't feeling well my mom and aunt couldnt come either. i would have bought a shirt but i didnt have money so i rode the bus home in just a wet swimsuit it sucked, but the day was worth it.

4ourth od july!

FIRED THAT WAS FAST

I GOT FIRED THIS MORNING!!!

first of all they were mad at me because i'm late every day thanks to the bus.
but then it really hit the fan when i came in this morning. i am not feeling well
anyway and they wanted me to get a pallet of wood chips off the high rack.
i have forklift training from way back so i was like "sure". well i think something was wrong
with the lift because it was moving really slow like it had a power drain. no problem.
but i had to hurry because there was a customer waiting for the wood to come down,
he was already mad becasue he had been waiting for like an hour. so i rolled past him really
slow (you could walk way faster). and i was sweating really bad from being sick. the whole
time the customer was like "can you get a different lift" and i kept telling
my boss "i think the battery is drained" but he said worry about the wood first.

then the customer was like, "i got a job waiting for this can we get a different lift"
so i went over to pull the one off the charge station. i was used to the slow one and
when i pushed forward the dang thing flew out of there fast like a rocket bird and knocked into the
grass seeds. the whole rack rocked back and forth and a bunch of stuff tipped off onto the
ground. some of it was like fertilizer or something because it started to stink really
bad - my eyes watered and i started feeling dizzy. i backed the lift up and the prongs of
the lift had punctured a ton of bags of seed and it started pouring everywhere...all over the floor.
the dust from the seed was too much and i threw up right there. whe i looked up the general
manager was there and he was just like pointing at the customer service desk and he said
"get the **** out" i thought he meant go work at the customer service desk for the morning, but later i found out he meant i was fired. why did he point at the dang desk? suks to be me :(

SO SORRY ITS BEEN SO LONG, BUT I GOT A JOB WORKING 18 HOURS A WEEK AND HAVE NO TIME FOR ANYTHING

I did go to a poetry night nearby check it out:

1> THE SCENE
2> THE PERFORMER
3> THE TRIP HOME
