i dreamt i saw you walking
up a hillside in the snow
casting shadows on the winter sky
as you stood there counting crows
one for sorrow, two for joy,
three for girls, and four for boys,
five for silver, six for gold, and
seven for a secret never to be told

there's a bird that nests inside you
sleeping underneath your skin
when you open up your wings to speak
i wish you'd let me in

from "a murder of one" ~ counting crows
"Oh! That Davey is a cutie!"

HEY! HEY! Now playing :: The Monkees Greatest Hits!!!!!!!

It was a fairly boring day with nothing to really recommend it until i talked to Russ. i have missed him the last month or two . . . every call on the answering machine or VM, never home at the same times . . . a comedy of near misses. i get this call about noon-thirty and there he is, talking to me!

Now, one distraction. i am supposed to quit smoking, but i am surrounded by smokers and he is one of the worst chain smokers i have ever met. the whole time i am on the phone with him, he is just sucking away at his blessed nicotine while i sit here craving and going insane. (Poor Louis, he had to hear about it.)

So, i'm here on the phone, listening to him and he's venting all the stuff he can't tell anyone else (and gee, i feel special! i'm so NEEDED!) and i get a call from Darth Mom telling me Roni was in the office AGAIN!
She had left the classroom to take a sick girl to the office and never came back. After a while she wanders back into the office and they send her back to class again and call the teacher. a half an hour or so later, after a total search of the school, she is found, hiding behind the coats in the hallway, amusing herself. Then, she lies and says she's been in the bathroom. (for those of you counting, this is her FOURTH trip to the office this year. She is in Kindergarten!)
i relate the story to him and he says, "Don't worry, one day she'll find drugs and it'll all even out!" i told him where he could shove it. Talking to him may not make me feel better about Roni, but he does make me laugh! We are thinking of getting season's passes together for 6 Flags since we live right here beside it and we are roller-coaster junkies! (You get them much cheaper if you buy a 4-pack.) It was a great hour-and-a-half. Better than a pleasant half-an-hour with a . . . oh, nevermind. Tasteless humor in my forte'. My mind almost never leaves the gutter, but then i have a *LOT* to laugh at all day, do YOU?

Last night was wonderfully fun and our Wednesday was spiced up with the always charming and very elusive #1 Crackhead and his trusty sidekick, Rizzn v2001. I wouldn't mess with these boys ~ they're DEADLY with handguns, C.B. plays a mean air hockey, Riz could only be beat at pinball by a certain deaf-dumb-and-blind guy . . . and they both kick butt at basket ball! i think i heard "NEW HIGH SCORE!" on the basket ball machine four or five times and only two were me! That machine is so very possessed! hehehe! We had fun and i think i scared C.B. He almost ran away before he simply took pity on me and just gave me a cigarette . . . see? See why he is a hero? Oh, Yeah ~ go visit Rizzn's music, stay for a while and listen. Support your local talent! Have you hugged a local musician today? Well, GO! Now!


Well, what are you still doing here? Go listen to Rizzn's music! Duh!
