And life continues apace.
Grocery shopping, a morning walk with the dog, and of course the usual excitement derived from drinking copious amounts of beer. Does it get any better than that?
During our walks Buddy always takes the time to stop and smell the, well, whatever the hell it is that he’s smelling. He usually follows up by peeing on it…
Talking about excitement in the bars, this ashtray at Cheap Charlies was more than a little disconcerting:
It’s like a penis, only smaller!
And after the appropriate number of beers, I can be enticed to go to a videoke joint and try to sing away my blues:
People cry when I sing, even if it’s a happy song….
I guess the big news from today (so far anyway) is that I finally pulled the trigger on purchasing my plane ticket back home to the USA. I was on the fence about flying coach and being uncomfortable for 24 hours or getting ass raped for a business class fare. In the end I just decided “fuck it”, I only make the trip once a year and so I may as well do it in style. It’s only money, right?
And that’s all I’ve got from here for now.
You can close your eyes
And sleep away all your blues
I’ve done everything but lie
Now I don’t know what else I can do
Ah, the night time sighs and I hear myself
But the words just stick in my throat
Don’t you think that a man like me
Might hurt much more than it shows
Just send me black roses
White rhythm and blues
And somebody who cares when you lose
Black roses, white rhythm and blues
I’m glad you were sober enough to grab the mike. Would’ve been quite a sight to see you crooning soulfully into that ashtray.
HahaHa! I hadn’t considered that possibility….
