Carnival Game

It was a masquerade at Mardi Gras
That was the only trip that I recall
Everytime I turned around at all
There was you

Some days are easier said than done
Always expecting something's wrong
I'd rather live alone than drag this on

Take your time
Please lay your hands on me
Don't wanna be alone, oh no
A mask behind the face and then you're gone
Oh yeah -- comes a time when you're better off alone
You're on your own

I've got a kaleidoscope of memories
Visions of you locked up inside of me
Can't you see

We once collided like a broken wheel
So undecided what was real
Maybe a crash somehow has sex appeal
Whatever turns you on

Take your time
Please lay your hands on me
Don't wanna be alone, oh no
A mask behind a face and then you're gone
Oh yeah- comes a time when you're better off alone

One down, one to go
Oh no, playin' in a carnival
Your time is gone

One down, one to go
Oh no, playin' in a carnival
You're all alone

One down, one to go
Oh no, you're on your own

What's up with the cheap trick lyrics dude? I was tempted to leave the words to a song that touches my heart deeply, "Dominated Love Slave", but thought better of it.

You are blogging to beat the band.....or flogging to beat the man....I'm actually in fairly foul humour now. Am considering posting a third note today about how utter honesty is not always the best policy. For instance, it doesn't make me feel very good when I'm asked if my alimony payment can be delayed by 30 days (coincidently the same week that my employer forgot to pay me)so that someone can take their girlfriend on vacation. It's not really necessary for me to know that they are going to go to the same place I begged to go to for years. What the hell??? Don't tell me that!!! Delay the payment...sure...but keep the rest of that $%^t to yourself dude.

well..now I've said it here..so perhaps I won't blog it someplace else.

I mean...I have bills dude...seriously. Jeeez...the least he could do is tell me he's putting towards something important like a house down payment. Vacation seems a little frivolous in comparison to my credit rating, you know?

Granted, I wouldn't have cared if I had been paid by my employer on time.

...and someone stole my white tea and blueberry Teany drink out of the lab fridge today.

scientists...sheesh.f$%^ing cleptos
