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
"It looks like a dead squirrel!"

i am a commercial whore.

Now, i know you are probably a little uncomfortable with the visions in your head or with my phrasing, but it's true, i love commercials. They make me laugh and giggle and get all choked and teary and a few have almost made soda come out my nose or me just laugh until i peed.

Taco Bell is usually mildly funny but they get old quickly.
"Heeeeeeere . . . lizard, lizard, lizard . . ."

Jack in the box is just KILLER!
"If i jumped into a vat of Frank's Red Hot Sauce would i turn into a buffalo?"
. . .
" . . . Maybe . . . give it a try and call back!"

Zeiganbok (SP?) is a Texas Beer and they make me laugh till i HURT!
"Hey! Ya know what? Ya know what? Advice from someone who can't out-run a BORDER COLLIE!"

i can't remember the product but i love the 'Some deal are EASY to pass up!' commercials
"We call it 'Bin Seating'! You'll save 24% on the price of your ticket . . ."

The Bud Frogs
"...and we'll play 'slap the frogs until they sing silly!" these things are CLASSIC!

i do have to admit confusion over the whole 'shepherd' thing that wireless company has going . . . WTF? Why a shepherd? Why not a donkey or a troll? Santa is not busy this time of year . . . What is so damn special about a shepherd? Oh, damn! The troll is doing commercials for a truck company . . . we have aliens, the bud ice penguin was cool, dogs are selling Greyhound bus rides, duck are selling insurance, bizarre celebrity families are cooking dinner, and Mr. T is a hot commodity all over again . . . Go figure!

thank you for reading this drivel! it amused me immensely to know that you are probably thinking of your favorite commercial and smiling or thinking "Why?! Why did i read this?!"


"End" ~ Cure
"I think I've reached that point
Where giving up and going on
Are both the same dead end to me
Are both the same old song . . .
please stop loving me
i am none of these things . . .
