Everybody’s Talkin’
Fred Neil

Everybody’s talkin’ at me
I don’t hear a word they’re sayin’
Only the echoes of my mind
People stop and stare
I can’t see their faces
Only the shadows of their eyes

Chorus: I’m goin’ where the sun keeps shinin’
through the pourin’ rain
Goin’ where the weather suits my clothes
Bankin’ off of the northeast wind
Sailin’ on a summer breeze
Skippin’ over the ocean like a stone

And, I won’t let you leave my love behind
No, I won’t let you leave my love behind
And, I won’t let you leave my love behind

Byrds!

To everything, turn, turn, turn
There is a season, turn, turn, turn
And a time to every purpose under heaven

A time to be born, a time to die
A time to plant, a time to reap
A time to kill, a time to heal
A time to laugh, a time to weep

{Refrain}

A time to build up, a time to break down
A time to dance, a time to mourn
A time to cast away stones
A time to gather stones together

{Refrain}

A time of love, a time of hate
A time of war, a time of peace
A time you may embrace
A time to refrain from embracing

{Refrain}

A time to gain, a time to lose
A time to rend, a time to sew
A time for love, a time for hate
A time for peace, I swear it’s not too late

Lost Souls

Against the voting public, I went to see lost souls, on the logic that the others will be around longer, and therefore more accessible in the future. I’m glad that we went… it was quite well done, frightening, and well done. Lots of twists and turns, a few plot holes, but a nice scary ride. Also Picked up pumpkins for next weekend’s gourd-carving… now I have a week to decide what sort of face/design to put on Ol’ Jack.

Robb’s is a very cool shape, sort of a “muppet Bert” slightly tapered cone, with a neat haircut-swirly stem on top. Mine’s a more classic rusty-orange, and round. I opted out of picking up two…Also went to best buy, and decided against buying crimson skies or the AOE2 update… I’m doing ok in the games department…. besides, it gives folks stuff to get me for Xmas and B-day. 🙂

Got to shop for the rest of my costume tomorrow, but aside from that, the day is free…

more mixed feelings….

In my local news. – –

Convicted molester seeks OK to marry

A woman begged a Broward circuit judge Thursday for permission to marry the man she loves: John Medlock, convicted child molester.

His fiancée, Katherine Anderson, says she wants to marry Medlock as soon as possible and have him move in with her and her children, a 10-year-old boy and a 12-year-old girl.

Anderson told Circuit Judge Marc Gold that she was aware of her fiancé’s prison record.

“Before we even started dating, he showed me all of his paperwork,” Anderson said. “He’s a wonderful man. He’s about to be ordained as a minister at our church.”

the whole story is here-

Now, he’s served what the law feels is his time… and I think that he should have the right to marry, if the family is willing to accept him… but I honestly don’t think I could forget his past. Forgiving an admitted sexual predator? I don’t know if I could. I know I wouldn’t want the wedding happening to someone I cared deeply about… I’d have trouble working in the same office with the guy. I get angry just thinking about it.

ugh.

found out that the data is going ot be *really* late tonight, and we’re sending some of the servers out for service. Owie. I’m going to be here for a while.

good thing I have LJ, the net, and my book to keep me occupied while I wait!

Confirmed gourd-hunting plans with Robb, tomorrow, and maybe will see best in show, too.

not sure what other movies are out there… I guess I’ll find out after surfing some more!

Here we go.

Friday. Payday. Little Bro can’t get to get her this weekend, and C&D are going to Dizzy World for Cathi’s Birfday. Robb got his part of his project done, so maybe he and I can do something this weekend.. Upon reflection, Dave & Busters was quite fun, and not nearly as expensive as I’d assumed. Silly writing folder is still wacky, but it should be better by Sunday.

I want one of these psychotic hand-puppets! (see pic, if today is 10/20/00)

MMmmMM… also have to make some banana bread. yummy.

Getting Cathi a fountain, I think for her b’day…. not sure what sort yet, but the weekend will hook me up.

Ah, home at last. :)

Worked to a decent hour, then went out to dinner, and a few games of pool with Robb. He’s quite good… and I’m quite bad. My only saving grace was that he’s bd at getting the last ball in at 9-ball. The servers at dave and busters are quite attractive, and while paying the bill, one of the girls there offered to let me take home a pool ball. I accepted, then she said she was kidding. Wacky servers! Had a girl whose first night was tonight…she did good, but was semi-pokey. All of the folks there are quite professional and friendly. The food’s good.

Robbo pointed me at this site. Technical Virgin. It made me laugh , long and loud.

Hey!

Just happened upon a true gem. It’s by Tony Bennett. For the Ladies. And theres a volume 2 out.

Tony sings songs that were written for women. Some are sweet. But his take on “Black and Blue” really got to me. It’s about a black woman who resents her lighter skinned peers for passing. The song is a classic, but most times I’ve heard it a couple verses were left out (Like in “This Land is Your Land”). The fact that it’s Tony Bennett singing makes it jarring in an unexpected way.

“Reds, browns and yellows are can get fellows but I’m stuck here alone and dark as the night. I’ve got no man to love but I have sorrows enough.
Whatever did I do to end up so black and blue.”

Sakes…

Thanks to the idiot actions of a dingus, Zoe has to be extra careful with her online persona. Part of that was shaving her friends’ list down to a bare minimum… 🙁 A pity that folks can’t just sit down and play nice, instead of scaring people… hearing more and more about net-meanies these days… Bugging Neko, earlier this week, and now this.

Bah. On behalf of the nice non-stalker folks… *hug*

Welcome to my wall scrawls.
