Yeah, so I pretty much don't use this anymore. I spend most of my online time here:
http://www.fireflyfans.net/
Yes, I am addicted and obsessed, but that won't be changing anytime soon.
If you were reading my story on here, then the rest of it can be found here as I write it (with all my other stories) :

I am a pretty bad LJ friend. I am not apologizing, just stating what I believe to be the truth. The last time I sat down and seriously read my friends page was several weeks ago. I don't know if that will be changing or not, though I really do want to catch up. I have become seriously addicted to Firefly/Serenity and I spend a lot of time chatting with people on http://www.fireflyfans.net and writing my story based on that 'verse. If it bugs you that I have neglected you, feel free to unfriend me, no hard feelings.
As for life, it's roughly the same. Still working 0600-1430 on base, still doing software/hardware for the Air Force. The dog and cats are still fat but happy. I got a crappy little $20 digital camera (it has not flash and the 26 pic capacity is stored in onboard RAM) that also double as a webcam, so I should have some updated photos of myself and my hobbies soon.
I bottled my cream stout on Monday, after 1 week in primary and 2 weeks in secondary. It had an original gravity of 1.051 and a final gravity of 1.026, and eventually I will figure out the alcohol percentage from those numbers. I am told this particular brew is best after at least 5 weeks in the bottle, so the hard part now will be waiting. I have some pictures that I will post on here eventually.
The herb garden is going well, and I will also post some pics of it soon. The basil plants are huge, and the thyme and oregano are numerous. The chives are tall, falling under their own weight sometimes, and the dill is as well. The sage is recovering from being knocked off of the windowsill a few weeks ago, but yesterday it had a very pungent aroma and I think it is growing well. Two lavender plants are growing as well, plus I found Ami's old lavender plant still growing outside. There are tiny beginnings to catnip and rosemary plants, hopefully they will be big and strong soon. The chamomile sprouts are doing well too, though they do not look like I expected. The poppies are very slow, and I think it is due to a lack of sunlight. There are morning glories growing in three different places, though no flowers or seeds yet (I need to build something to catch the seeds before they hit the ground to put under the plants). I have yet to get the myrrh, spearmint, or ginseng to grow, but I plan to keep trying.
I think that's it for now. I am working on chapter 10 of my story and doing some training at work. If I get writers' block or finish my training early I may come back and try to start catching up.

I've been writing a lot recently (my fiction has 7 chapters now), and chatting online. Life's still about the same, still taking my meds, need to schedule an appt with the counselor. Ami and the boys are still in OK, going to TX this weekend because her asshole zealot father kicked them out. I feel so shitty for messing up and making her go through this in the first place. On top of all of that, she has some serious issues with her back, which will most likely require surgery. I really wish there was more I could do, but for now I have to settle for talking to her almost every day and supporting her financially.
I am going to attempt to read some other journals today, we'll see how that goes.

I haven't been around the LJ all weekend.
I got a cheap little digital camera and a set of headphones with a mic at Target on Friday, and now I can talk on Yahoo and people can actually see my ugly mug as the digital camera also acts as a webcam, albeit very low-res (640 x 480 if I remember correctly). Anyhow, I will probably post some recent pics soon, various things from myself to the animals to even the herb garden.
I am trying the new sponsored level of LJ membership. I am pretty good at ignoring advertising, and it has allowed me to have 15 userpics, which I will hopefully put to good use.
Still working on chapter 6 of my fiction, I kinda slacked off over the weekend. I will spend some time seeing what I missed this weekend.
The beer has been in secondary for a week. I think I will give it another week then bottle it, after which it is another 5 weeks before it is drinkable, which will be tough to wait out. I may go ahead and make my peach wheat beer to have something else beer-related to do (besides drinking them)
24 is on tonight. One of the last 4 episodes of this season. Someone in my office mentioned this: Why doesn't Jack play the recording over the radio to get some much needed support? One reason I can think of is to keep the co-pilot under control, plus there is also the stress of the impending death by being shot down. Any way it goes, it should be interesting, as it always is. Maybe we'll see Agent McGuinness try to hit on Chloe some more, well, after he wakes from his TASER-induced sleep.
That's it really. Still taking my bipolar meds, and I think they are helping. There is a bunch of serious shit going on with Ami that I may post about later (not me messing up, just stuff she is having to go through). I'll go read everyone's journal now.

Monday I started writing fictional stories based on the Firefly 'verse, As of right now, I have written 5 stories (well, chapters really) and plan to work on another one this evening. I really really really like this. I like telling the stories. Part of it is that I am so passionate about the show. I have never really liked writing before.
I also realize that a part of it is somewhat selfish. To be liked by an audience. Hell, it makes me fucking happy as hell when people write in and tell me to write more, and to do it fast. It's kind of humbling too.
On to write more. If you are interested in reading any of it, I posted the first one on a public post (the rest are filtered, but I can add you to the filter). You can also find them here, in the bottom right corner of the page under My Blue Sun Items.

This is how it works: Comment on this entry and I will give you a letter. Write ten words beginning with that letter, including an explanation of what the word means to you and why.
The ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) pendamuse gave me a Q (this should be fun):
1.) Questions. I like asking them, and I like answering them. Dad taught me that I should not ever stop learning, and the best way to do that is to question things. Also, I have no trouble answering any question at all about myself.
2.) Quarrelsome. I can be very quarrelsome at times. Sometimes the things that set me off are so tiny and insignificant that it seems I am just looking for a fight. I'd like to think I am getting better about this, but only time will really tell.
3.) Quarter. I am a quarter of a century old. It's also one of my favorite quantities (ooohh, another good q word) of pot to buy, because it is just enough ;)
4.) Quotation. I like quoting things. Movies, books, TV shows, just about anything. I have some original quotations here along with a bunch from my buddy Matt (gotta click on quotations until I come back and edit this link)
5.) Quidditch. The second greatest sport ever invented (nothing will ever top Calvinball, ever). I mean, who wouldn't want to fly around on a broomstick at high speeds searching for a tiny golden ball, or whacking other balls at other players?
6.) Quantum physics. Very neat stuff, and very essential. I would like some books on the subject just to read, for my own knowledge and enjoyment (isn't that scary?)
7.) Quiet. I tend not to talk very much. I usually sit back and take it in, only contributing if I think I have something worth contributing.
8.) Q. Stands for charge in physics and EE. Without charge, there is no electricity. You like all of your little gadgets to keep on working, right? Good, I thought so.
9.) Quit. I quit marching band once to go to the party where I met Ami. I don't plan to ever quit living her, even if we split up in the end. I am also not going to quit trying to make it work as long as it is what we both want.
10.) Quick. I am the opposite of quick. I tend to go at my own pace. My high school buddies used to call it JimiSpeed, which means I'll get there when I get there.
That wasn't so bad. :P

This is how it works: Comment on this entry and I will give you a letter. Write ten words beginning with that letter, including an explanation of what the word means to you and why.
The vampymuse21 gave me an A:
1.) Ami. My wonderful wife (I get the feeling vampy suggested the A for this one in particular). I miss her like crazy, and may get to see her next week, depending on her parents. She is doing well out in OKC, though her back is still giving her trouble and until recently her meds weren't agreeing with her (she just changed Seraquel for Zyprexa, and is much happier). We are still getting our individual help, and hopefully it will make us stronger in the long run (or help us to realize that we really have too many differences and go our own ways). I love her and I always will, no matter what.
2.) Avacado. Tasty. Good by itself, on a salad, mashed into guacamole, or on a turkey sandwich. It has to be pretty bad for you because it tastes so damn good.
3.) Alexander. My middle name. My second son's middle name (yes, his initials are AA, we debated that), taken from me. Also my second oldest cat's name, also taken from me. The Alexanders in my family go back to some of the roots of my family in this country, and I am sad to say that I do not know nearly enough about that history.
4.) Ale. My first beer was an amber ale that was supposed to be a pale. It was still pretty tasty, albiet a little yeasty, and I still have 6 bottles of the 50 left (I have shared them with friends, as well as giving Harley about 20 of them.
5.) Amsterdam. Someday I want to visit. Legal cannabis and mushrooms, plus some pretty scenery (which I am sure will be enhanced by said 'shrooms).
6.) Atlanta. My favorite city that I have lived in, and one of my favorite cities to go to. I went to school there. I met Ami there. About half of my good friends still live there. I love the city, both the good and bad parts, and I miss living there.
7.) Alcohol. I like to drink. I like to taste my alcohol. I prefer whiskey, or whisky. Bourbon, scotch, whatever. Chilled and straight up. Enhances or is enhanced by the flavor of a good cigar or clove cigarette. I don't really like wine, unless it is sweet, and gin usually doesn't sit well with me. I don't like being plastered all of the time, but once every few months makes for some fun times.
8.) Acid. LSD. lysergic acid diethylamide. C20-H25-N3-O. Powerful hallucinogen, my favorite kind of substance. Only done it a handful of times, unfortunately, as it is damn near impossible to find. I have heard it told that only a dozen or so people are still around who know how to make it, and aren't in jail or crazy. It is one of my goals, ever since trying it, to learn and perform the process of making it.
9.) Atheist/Agnostic. I don't know if there is a god, or goddess, or a pantheon of gods. Logically thinking, I cannot accept the existence of a supreme being based on lack of proof. I think most, if not all, religions, are a method of control, at least at this point. If the religions of the world were suddenly gone, it would be chaos, with a lot of scared and lost people. It gives people purpose, and drives them to do what they need to do. I have no problem with that sort of thing. If anything, I am interested in "practical" religions, such as learning about plants and herbs and their uses. Other religions, like the Egyptians or Romans, I am interested in purely for historical knowledge.
10.) American Beauty. A damn fine movie, with damn fine actors. Kevin Spacey kicks ass in everything I have seen him in, and Chris Cooper is always good to watch as well. The fact that the movie ends on somewhat of a down note is awesome as well, because not everything in life is fuzzy and nice.

Here is my first attempt at writing fiction based on the Firefly universe. It is meant to be a continuing story. If anyone is interested in reading more of this, comment and let me know, otherwise I will probably not post any more because it is already being posted elsewhere. Without further ado, I give you (with apologies to Robert Heinlein)...

This is how it works: Comment on this entry and I will give you a letter. Write ten words beginning with that letter, including an explanation of what the word means to you and why.
The lovely misslitlaur gave me an I (a vowel, this should be interesting):
1.) i. Mathematicians use it to denote imaginary numbers, where i is the square root of -1. Engineers typically use j for the same concept.
2.) Imagination. Mine is pretty damn vivid, and currently I am trying to apply it to writing Firefly-based fan fiction. I can usually picture all kinds of weird/crazy things, and have no trouble visualizing stories that I read or write.
3.) Intelligence. I was gifted with a decent amount of it, and thought I was applying it well by becoming an engineer, which I like doing, but it doesn't seem that I am able to remember much of what I was supposed to learn in school.
4.) Interstate. Until recently the only mode of contact with my friends, but now I have found a good group here in Warner Robins that I hope to consider friends someday.
5.) Integration. One of the very basic foundations of calculus. Antiderivatives. Simply put, the area between two points, the x-axis, and a curve.
6.) Illusion. Most everybody in the world lives in one. Sometimes we make them ourselves, because it is easier than facing real life. Some people just like their fantasy world.
7.) Invader Zim. One of the best cartoons ever made, and it was made by Jhonen Vasquez, who kicks ass hisownself.
8.) Issac Asimov. Great science fiction writer, introduced to me by my father. Good robot stories, and the Foundation books rock too (or course, there are robots in there too).
9.) Irish. I am 3/4 Irish, or so I am told. One day I will look into it more deeply. Lots of good things are Irish: Boondock Saints, Guinness, carbombs, and many many others.
10.) Irritability. Some days it is worse that others. Sometimes, the slightest thing will set me off, sometimes nothing bothers me at all. I am on medicine now which is helping to balance me out, so hopefully there will be significantly less of this one.

hardly_angelic gave me a P:
1.) Pink Floyd. One of my favorite bands of all time. The range and diversity of their music, not to mention tons of very interesting percussion and vocal effects, make them good for driving or partying or tripping or just hanging out.
2.) Pancakes. One of the best sweet breakfast items, and very diverse. You can make them with fruit, or just plain, and the recipe is pretty simple. You can also wrap them around sausage for a wonderful mix of sweet and salty.
3.) Peyote. Jim Morrison, the Doors, and naked Indians. A 24 hour hard core unstoppable trip, definitely not for the weak.
4.) Piercings. I have one in my tongue that I never even think about, and I want a spike in my lip and an industrial in the top of my ear. With my job, I doubt it would really be a problem.
5.) Pain. I have brought a lot of it upon myself, because I tend to make bad decisions. Sometimes pain can be good, help to keep you focused, and sometimes the pain is easier to deal with than the real issue.
6.) Procrastination. I am a master of this one. I can sit at a computer for 8 hours and look like I am accomplishing something when really nothing is getting done, at least nothing productive (I could have written a bit here about how I would get to this later, but that joke seems played out).
7.) Pickles. On almost anything salty, especially sandwiches and burgers of all sorts, dill pickles are a must-have. I can eat them straight from the jar, on said sandwiches, or even fried and dipped in ranch.
8.) PJ. My dog. Ami saved him from Russell Parkway (a 4 lane highway) when the owner just let him go out there. He is a sweet dog, either jack russell or fox terrier, and very spoiled. The day Ami found him is also the last time I saw Zachary in person.
9.) Parent. I am father to two amazingly wonderful boys, Zachary and Aiden, and they are the source of much of my happiness (and a little frustration at times). I would not trade them for anything, and I would not change the decisions that brought them into my life if I had to make them 1000 times over.
10.) Percussion. I started playing the drums in the 6th grade, and kept it up all the way through my third year of college. I never played a lot of drum set, mostly concert percussion (mainly mallets/piano based) and drum line stuff. I miss it, and if I got a chance, I would do it again in a heartbeat.

I like my toast buttered
And I like mine dry
I like The Beatles,
I'm a Stones kinda guy
I have fine tastes
And I like things cheap
I just wanna stay up all night
And I want to sleep.....with your sister
I lost 15-20 lbs in April without really trying. I mean, I drink 4-8 glasses worth of water every weekday, and I am eating smaller portions for most meals, when I remember to. I imagine I could lose even more if I dedicated myself to it. I keep meaning to start walking every day, plus I can take up to 3 hours a week in 'Fitness Leave', which means I would get paid to exercise. I need to get a note signed by a doctor saying it is ok for me to do.
wait, what did you say? me? oh nothing, hey, it's your turn
I like the sunshine,
And I wanna nail your sister
I like Julia Roberts' movies
I just wanna fuck the shit outta your sister...
Tike (sic), you would rule, if you said it's cool,
I'd go pick her up at her junior high school...
I had a really good weekend. I met up with Jamie from karaoke and his role-playing group, which was a bunch of good people. They are all SCA folks, and I am still really interested in getting involved in that. I missed fighter practice yesterday because my dad came to town to bring me some chairs from their old house. I probably won't be able to make one until june, due to a plethora of weddings in May and our immenent cruise that will encompass the first weekend of June. I really want to learn to make armor, maybe participate in live weapons competitions, and compete with my homebrew as well. I am really glad I found this group, and I think that Ami would really like them too. After role-playing and such, we settled in for some light drinking and movies. We watched Cabin Fever (pancakes, PANCAKES !!) and Shawn of the Dead, both of which were pretty funny (though only one of them was intended to be), then came home and spent mot of yesterday not doing much of anything.
I have the letter meme saved at home with a P from hardly_angelic and I will post it when I get in this afternoon.

This is how it works: Comment on this entry and I will give you a letter. Write ten words beginning with that letter, including an explanation of what the word means to you and why.
locomiel gave me an S:
1.) Sex, how can you not like it? Well, I suppose if it is bad sex, or unwanted sex, then it would be bad, but I have yet to experience either of those *knock wood*. Any time of day, any position, any length of time, I like it.
2.) Serenity. Midbulk transport, standard radion-accelerator core, classcode 03-K64, "Firefly". God I love that ship. The BigDamnMovie was good, not quite up to the standards of the series, but being a different media that is understandable. Were it a real ship, I could definitely live on it.
3.) Science fiction. Robert Heinlein. Issac Asimov. Frank Herbert. Good, well written stories that may well show us how we are living in 30-50 years (both the internet and waterbeds were creations of science fiction, as well as several other things). I recommend Stranger in a Strange Land to most anyone who wants to listen.
4.) Stephen Lynch. I have recently discovered this comedian, and it makes me so very happy. He isn't afraid to joke about anything, whether it's SIDS, catholic priests and their unhealthy fixation on alter boys, or even having herpes. Funny stuff.
5.) Salmon. One of the tastier fish. Raw, raw + rice, barely seared with raw inside, or even broiled with lemon and peppercorns, it makes for a might fine meal anytime. There was also a silly commercial I remember seeing in college of a bear roundhouse kicking a fisherman and stealing his salmon. Funny stuff.
6.) Ska. Still one of my favorite forms of music. Upbeat tempos, depressing lyrics, and of course, a horn section. Good music for just about anything (except sleeping)
7.) Sigur Ros. Swedish Icelandic group, IIRC thanks Laura, in which the lead singer/guitar plays the guitar with a cello bow. Very mellow, deep, soulful music. The lovely litlaur introduced me to this band.
8.) Swing. The music style, and the dance. The music just makes you feel good, and dancing to it is even better. I haven't done any swing dancing in a while, and I miss it. I used to make up my own moves, including several ariels.
9.) Saffron rice. Very very tasty, and goes with a lot of things. I normally don't have saffron on hand, so the Mahatma yellow saffron mix would be what I use. Spicy, but not overly. Could probably eat it every day.
10.) Shield, The. Wonderful show, great acting from an incredible cast, and always kept me guessing as to where they were gonna go next. Blee got me into this one in the middle of the 4th season, and I have since bought and watched every episode. I don't know if I have the patience to wait until January to see the last 10 episodes of this season.

This is how it works: Comment on this entry and I will give you a letter. Write ten words beginning with that letter, including an explanation of what the word means to you and why.
freckledphreak gave me an F:
1.) Firefly. I could write volumes on this, but I will keep the fanboy in me at bay. If you have not seen it, and you like science fiction even a little bit, I whole-heartedly recommend it. No aliens, the heroes and most of the villains use regular guns with regular bullets (there are a few lasers but they are not the norm) and it's really about a group of people dealing with everyday type things, like finding a job or getting themselves out of trouble.
2.) Fan. I have to have the fan on to sleep at night, and it has been that way since middle school. I would rather be too cold than too hot, as you can always put on more clothes but once you're naked you can't take anything else off.
3.) Frank Sinatra. The man could sing, amazing voice, and he was a big time pimp.
4.) Food. I am generally in favor of eating over not eating. Sometimes, it doesn't matter what, as long as it tastes ok and fills me up. Other times, I want something really specific. I also love to prepare the food, as I have been cooking for 15 years or so and I love it.
5.) Fat kitties, of which I have two. They sit around and eat and sleep and shit all day, staring out the windows or begging for attention when they are awake. I love 'em, and they are very much spoiled.
6.) Friends. I don't have an over-abundance of friends, but the ones I do have mean a lot to me. I prefer to have a few close friends instead of a lot of acquaintances. I miss my friends something fierce, but when I get to see them we mostly have a good time.
7.) Fish. I have two, they are bettas, and they like to attack each other through the acrylic divider between them. I have another tank as well, with none in it. Also, if I could eat fish every day I would, as it is tasty and good for your heart and brain.
8.) Friday, one of the better days of the week. No TV shows to try and catch, no worrying about when I go to bed. Also a good day to travel, unless I am going to Atlanta, in which case it is the worst day for traffic.
9.) Fermenter. Right now it is filled with my wonderful cream stout, and soon, a peach wheat beer and maybe even some mead. I like making beer, and I am glad I learned how to. I plan to do it for many years to come.
10.) French fries. White skinned potatoes, peeled, cut into thick strips. Soaked in ice water & vinegar, then a milk/egg bath followed by a wet batter of flour, water, and seasoned salt. Fried to crispy golden, then salted and peppered fresh from the oil. mmmmm

This is how it works: Comment on this entry and I will give you a letter. Write ten words beginning with that letter, including an explanation of what the word means to you and why.
_meow_mix_ gave me the letter T.
1.) Thyme, even though I don't use it much in cooking, I probably will soon, because the herb garden I started is growing up quite nicely, and the plants are looking really good.
2.) Talking, which I do not do enough of, unless the topic is something I am really excited about.
3.) Three, a very powerful number. The universe seems to work in threes (and fives and sevens), and it is just an all around good number. Cubing things is a goodness.
4.) Trees. There aren't enough of them for my tastes. I would live in a forest if I could. They block the daystar and provide oxygen for us to breathe, as well as shiny targets for throwing knife practice.
5.) Tuna (ahi) Raw as sashimi, on rice as sushi, seared with a rare interior, or even the stuff that comes in the can (good for tuna salad sandwiches). It is tasty and pretty damn good for you.
6.) Tacos. Yummy goodness, especially with fresh tomato and guacamole. GIR likes 'em too.
7.) Tziki sauce, for your gyros. Cool cucumber, dill, and sour cream, prefect companion for that roasted lamb. (three food items in a row, I must be hungry).
8.) Twenty-four, one of my favorite shows. I only got into it last summer, when A&E was playing a marathon encore of season 4 and Ami got me into it, and even then I didn't see all of it, but since them I have watched all of the seasons and followed the current one as best as I can. Jack Bauer just kicks ass.
9.) Tenacious D, one of my favorite bands. Jack Black and Kyle Gass are wonderfully funny and dark, and I can't wait to see the movie, even if it does not show much promise (maybe it'll be a cult piece like Boondock Saints)
10.) Tutu, my grandmother (it's Hawaiian). She is such a wonderful and vibrant person, always on the go. She teaches hula dancing and performs for weddings and such, even after having a replaced hip and a heart stint. If she is not dancing she is always out with her friends, or working on her watercolor paintings, which are spectacular.
I am going to try out Jamie's role-playing group tomorrow, hopefully it will be pretty cool. I haven't played an RPG in ages, and I miss it.

I just looked at the cast list for Tenacious D in 'The Pick of Destiny' (I was actually looking up filmography for David Krumholtz), and here are the names I found there, among others:
Tim Robbins
Ben Stiller
Colin Hanks
David Krumholtz
Meatloaf
Ronnie James Dio (duh)

I hate it when I know I need to pop my elbow, but it won't properly pop. It hurts.
I fought with Ami again last night. It came from me misinterpreting her tone of voice, and from her taking implication from my words that weren't intended. The first part ended with me hanging up on her. A few minutes later, I repeatedly called her back, like I always do. She had turned off the phones for a few minutes, which in retrospect was a good idea. When I did get through to her, we talked about why we had fought, and realized that we had both taken things the wrong way. We talked a decent amount after that, almost until the cell phone she was using died. I think we turned one of our usual incidents into a learning experience, hopefully for both of us, but at the very least for me.

I brewed my Cream Stout Monday night, around the watching of 24 and the chatting/reading on http://www.fireflyfans.net/ (hereby referred to as FFF, if need be). For the first day or so I was worried about it, because I was a bit impatient with the yeast and I wasn't sure that it would start fermenting like it is supposed to. Last night, and this morning especially, it was happily bubbling away, so no worries. Should be a damn fine beer. I also plan to make a fruity wheat beer to hopefully have ready for the hottest days of summer, but I am not sure what fruit I want to go with. I'll decide at some point.
On to this Firefly obsession I have acquired, which I am sure that people have noticed, but I have never addressed directly. I am extremely devoted to this show, cast, movie, and everything associated with it. I have volunteered to help spread the word about events, such as Serenity Day on June 23rd: we really want more episodes/movies to be made, and we want to show the people who finance/produce them that we have a dedicated fan base that isn't going anywhere, and isn't going to stop liking the show anytime soon. I have taken to reading (and started writing, I will post here, if anyone is interested) fan-created fictions based on this universe. I am happy about it, and I think it is a good thing. If nothing else it has got me in the mood to write fiction again.
Switching gears slightly, I really like Shawn Ryan (creator of The Shield). He and a writer named David Mamet created The Unit, a show centered on a special ops unit and their families and all of their interactions. It stars Dennis Haysbert (played senator/president Palmer in 24, also in the AllState commercials) and the entire cast is really good (Aceveda's whore from season 4 of The Shield is in it too, and she is Shiny).

I have had trouble sleeping the past few nights. I am tired, cranky, irritable, cantankerous, crotchety, angsty. I have been taking my bipolar medicine for 2 weeks now, I really don't feel anything from it, at least right now I can't recall feeling it at all. I know it may take longer to get working, I am just really frustrated.
Why can't I be happy? Why do I snap and hurt people? WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH ME?
I want to go home, take a shower, then take a nap, and just forget about everything. 72 minutes.

Love Song - Stephen Lynch
If I had a hammer, I'd build a house for two.
And if I had a sailing ship, I'd take a trip with you.
And if I had a poets hand, I'd write a verse for thee.
And if I had the painter's touch, on canvas you'd be.
But I don't have a hammer
And I don't have a ship
So I can't build a house
And we can't take a trip
And I'll never be a poet
Nor have the painter's grace
So I'll never write you a verse
Nor immortalize your face
And also I have herpes... |

I am a dark, dark souled, fucked up individual. Here is what I am listening to right now:
Baby - Stephen Lynch
This is for my little girl
My lady gives birth today
I run to her room right away
She smiles with glee and hands her to me
I look at my newborn and say
Damn that's an ugly baby
Damn that's an ugly ass baby
I'm feeling quite concerned
My semen must have turned
'Cause damn that's an ugly baby
I can't believe this came from me
I think her mom did too much LSD
she's skinny like a twig
at least her nuts are big
but the placenta is cuter than she
Damn that's an ugly baby
God damn that's an ugly ass baby
I can't take her home today
She'll scare the dog away
'cause damn that's an ugly baby
And when she smiles I find
Shane McGowen comes to mind
It makes me want to cry
When I look into her good eye
I always wanted kids
Is it wrong to hope for SIDS?
Then the doctor calls me in
Mr. Lynch she has a twin
Damn that's a good-lookin' baby
One for two on the good lookin' babies
I almost start to weep
Now this one we can keep
cause that was an ugly ass baby
Damn that's an ugly baby (x4)
She's got one good tooth and one ear and one eye
And thank god just one nose but it's on her left thigh
Now doctor I am asking you guy to guy
Would a really really really late term abortion apply
Oh no, I don't want no ugly baby
I said damn that's an ugly ass baby
If there's a hell, I'm going to it. Anyhow, go download it and listen to it.
I haven't been sleeping well lately. I suppose it shows more'n a little.
