Put on my lipstick, I know its gonna get big tips,
Steppin into costume so I can give my patrons kicks
Step outside for a cigarette and its starting to snow,
Every time it gets cold I begin to think of you

Hold on a minute, they're calling me
Suga, suga, suga, come here
Dance a little closer I can almost feel you
Suga, suga, come here, you're all I got to keep me warm

Admittedly its cliche but I'm still writing you letters
My room here is cozy and sparse and decorated with posters of Big Sur
Ive never been there, but I want you to take me,
Though I think paradise is a place you visit and not a place you live

That's why everything is better in manhattan,
Oh people aren't hungry, they are starving in Manhattan
And the buildings are tall and the sky is something to search for
In Manhattan

Oh in my spare time I'm making a garden on my fire escape
I cant wait to watch my seedlings find the sun
It wont be easy, cause nothing ever is
Thats why everything tastes so good
So my love I got all my ropes and chains
I'm gonna give 'em to you for your birthday..
You can do even what you want, but I hope you're gonna tie me up
You can do even what you want but I hope you're gonna tie me up and sing

Oh suga, suga, suga, come here, dance a little closer I can almost feel you
Suga, suga, come here
You're all I got to keep me warm
Suga, suga, come here, oh I can almost taste you
I'm gonna put you out on the street and watch you grow
In the concrete

Oh my love, this time you go to far
How many times must I repeat myself
I love you, there, I said it
and I meant it,
Oh I love you, there I said it and I meant every word
I love you, there I said it, now will you take it
Or will you put it out on the street and watch it grow
in the concrete

Everything is better in Manhattan
Oh the spoons aren't silver, they're gold in Manhattan
And the buildings are tall and the sky is something to reach for
In manhattan, ooh
In manhattan, ooh
In manhattan, In manhattan

Question of the day....

Is it possible to be allergic to stupidity?

...discuss....

Respect the 3EB!

I close my eyes and I see a freak, I think it's me and I'm afraid to speak
I keep on going from week to weakness way out in a line.
I dream of lives we could have had before, but the heat is broke down open doorways.
Friends of yours will tell me more what happens in your mind

Can we try and take the high road though we don't know where it ends
I want to be your Crystal Baller
I want to show you how it ends

Macrame queens in the afternoon and I'm in tune or did I speak too soon
Punch drunk on somebody's joke, what happened to the time
A footnote in your dance of days, In my mind that record still plays
Still wonder what the fuck it says, and hoping there is time

Can we try and take the high road though we don't know where it ends
I want to be your Crystal Baller
I can show you how it ends

Can we talk about tomorrow and the promise that it brings
I want to be your Crystal Baller, I want to show everything

I wonder what the whole things for, I wonder what the whole things for
In the moment you were screaming at me I would have been somebody else
And the patrons of the pub keep singing
Macrame queens in the afternoon and I'm in tune or did I speak too soon
Punch drunk on somebody's joke what happened to the time
I dream of lives we could have had before where the heat is broke down open doorways
Like waiting for a trick to score, It seems that way some times
I wonder where were all going, I'm homesick for your primal knowing
I wonder why the wind keeps blowing you through my mind

Try and take the high road remember we were friends
I want to be your Crystal Baller
I want to be your diamond ring

The one I never gave you and the promise that it brings
Let me be your Crystal Baller
I will show you everything.
I'll be your Crystal Baller

Park spokesman Al Nash says a 23-year-old man on Tuesday was fined $750 and placed on three years of unsupervised probation for urinating, being off trail in a restricted area and taking items from the area. The man also was banned from Yellowstone for two years..."

"People who (INSERT ACTION) should shampoo my crotch!"


Today's...

People who rest their hand(s) on their hips when they take a piss in a urinal should shampoo my crotch! You're taking a piss, not posing for a picture!

Some people need to be shot....

Doug McKelway...never heard of him till just now...he needs to be shot...

"Mike Rogers runs the Web site BlogActive, exposing what he calls government hypocrisy by listing the names of politicians and staffers who vote against gay rights issues but may be gay themselves. On May 6, he appeared on 'Let's Talk Live,' a Washington, D.C., show co-hosted by Doug McKelway on News Channel 8.

During the show, McKelway isn't shy about letting Rogers know that he doesn't agree with his tactics. When Rogers accuses the host of implying that being gay is wrong, McKelway tells Rogers he'd like to "take you outside and punch you across the face." In a follow-up segment, viewer e-mails and McKelway's own co-host take him to task, but he refuses to apologize."

The 7-11 Story...if I were British

I just felt like it would be funnier/more sophisticated if I had an accent...so here it is...

Like Running Into An Endangered Species

So...I had myself quite a morning in my opinion.

Something happened that I see as rare and unlikely as running into a Siberian Tiger or a White Tailed Fish Eagle on the streets of L.A. or NYC...

The event...I got to use a bathroom in a 7-11! For any of you who frequent 7-11, you know they treat their bathrooms like the holy grail or something.

Not only did I get to use the bathroom, but they extended this privilege to me without a request. There is even a sink right behind the counter, but they let me into the back! Oooooooooooooooh!

Now, the explanation. Basically, I have been going to this one 7-11 (Venice&Motor) at least once or twice a day, everyday for about 2 years. I go there SO much that despite my dirty, sketchy appearance, the people there know me and are nice, but god knows why!?

On this fine Monday morning, the asshole that is me, had finished concocting his large coffee (which takes about 5 minutes with all the shit I put in) and was paroosing the gum aisle. I decided to hold the cup from the top at which point, the top popped off and split all over my shirt, all over my pants, and all over the floor. Felt like such an asshole.

It was then that they swept in like super heroes, pulling me away from the mess and directing me to the back bathroom so I could clean up. They didn't even charge for the gum/coffee/snack bar and I had ruined.

I think they just felt bad I was such an idiot, but who knows. My advice for the day...go to the same 7-11 everyday for at least 2 years if you ever wish to be granted access to ark!
