On A Music Theme Lately

I'm typically slow to admit it because of her pop status, but Christina Aguilera is an amazing talent and will be known as one of the greatest vocalists of our time... this is her singing my name.

keep it light, keep it fun, keep it simple.

I'm in a phase, a reassessment of the 
life that is real and the one that is 
second, the important and the less 
than, most notably what is good for this 
goose, and even the gander.

Our boundaries define us and our 
challenges force growth and without 
honest introspection, without 
analysis into the mutual impact 
of you and your world 
and you and your world and you, 
without a review into your role 
in the grand equation of nothingness 
then what are we doing.

Existence is such that it is 
its only equal and it is 
its only counter-balance. A 
life unexamined is a life worth 
loosing. I will fall again. I 
will rise again. I will grow and 
I will slide. I will slip and I will 
dive. I will reach and I will push. 
The wall can hold itself up -- I 
want to go find out what that 
tastes like.

Shoulder sitting it whispers in 
my ear and its soothing, the 
comfort, the serenity the peace and 
when I walk toward that forever 
light I am stopped and just when 
I thought I was out...

(thanks for waiting)

Hiatus

RL/SL balance is still harder to manage than it should be. So I need to spend some time getting one in control so it doesn't impact the other.

So for now gone, hopefully not forgotten, but updates will follow once I've kicked. In the meantime I'm gonna look something like this. Wish me luck.

Songs of Me: Babe Ruth - The Mexican

Jellybean's 1984 remix of Babe Ruth's 1972 magic. 
One of the greatest songs ever.
This will be played in a loop at my funeral.

you don't really want anymore from me


possibly the greatest drum work since the first guy started banging on stuff.



Sometimes I feel I've got to
Run away I've got to
Get away
From the pain you drive into the heart of me
The love we share
Seems to go nowhere
And I've lost my light
For I toss and turn I can't sleep at night

Once I ran to you (I ran)
Now I'll run from you
This tainted love you've given
I give you all a boy could give you
Take my tears and that's not nearly...
Oh...tainted love
Tainted love

Now I know I've got to
Run away I've got to
Get away
You don't really want anymore from me
To make things right
You need someone to hold you tight
And you think love is to pray
But I'm sorry I don't pray that way

Once I ran to you (I ran)
Now I'll run from you
This tainted love you've given
I give you all a boy could give you
Take my tears and that's not nearly all
Oh...tainted love
Tainted love

Don't touch me please
I cannot stand the way you tease
I love you though you hurt me so
Now I'm gonna pack my things and go
Tainted love, tainted love (x2)
Touch me baby, tainted love (x2)
Tainted love (x3)

[phone line clicks over and voicemail beeps as the reciever is picked up]
overboy: [pauses and silence]
caller: hello?!
overboy: i'm getting your messages and i heard you fine the first time.
caller: but, you haven't called...
overboy: i heard you the first time; i said. now you'll get my call when you get my call.
[reciever clicks off to the phone line tone]
