Reality's Road

It was so hot, today. I bought a CD today, just to celebrate. R.E.M.'s Automatic for the People. One of their best and my favorite. I have had this CD twice before. One I gave away to I can't remember who, the second was stolen from my truck by a death-craving maggot. If you do not own this CD, go buy it.

I have a busy weekend. Friday I will get to see Julie after two weeks, then work saturday, then hang out with Julie some more until Paul and I go to Joe's, where Juan is staying as well. Joe and Juan will be spooning in Joe's room, while Sarge and I spoon on the Floor of Lethargic Dreams. Sunday is riding and I have some things that are coming along.

So much passion in three days time.

I am really bummed about my stupidity concerning money this month. I should have planned better when I went to Canada. I am not living alone, anymore, and I need to be an adult and stay on top of the cash for the sake of my kids. I am lucky in that I am going to be working more and at $25.50 an hour, it adds up quickly.

I was talking to Chad, today, and he does so well with his money. He makes more, but he makes it DO more, too. I want that. I need to get disciplined more so than I am. Oh well, at least I'm happy. It's all climbing the ladder, anyway, and not reaching the top. Like in a song by Fates Warning called, "The Road Goes on Forever."

its so cold in the shadow of distant light
sand the chilling wind slows our pace and tests our will
still a voice whispers it will be over soon
and there we find the courage to climb the hill
sometimes I lose sight of where i'm going
fanned by a flame I can't remember
but distant lights still burn bright
and the road goes on forever
year after year with renewed ambition
we scale the walls to find there's nothing there
still idle hands clutch the empty page
with the passion of a desperate prayer
sometimes I lose sight of where i'm going
fanned by a flame I can't remember
but distant lights still burn bright
and the road goes on forever
and here we are again
the doors close behind us
and the road goes on and on and on and on...
sometimes I lose sight of where i'm going
fanned by a flame I can't remember
but distant lights still burn bright
and the road goes on forever
forever...
That pretty much says it all.

Hi,
I agree about REM Automatic For the People, I also own this cd and it is one of my favorites.

Thanks for your comment on my blog, I used to live in Salem and still have family who live there, although we don't ever speak to them or visit them, but we do see them in Portland at Christmas sometimes.
