διάρινον λείψανον


Hello...Singapore!!! Why would I get 2K hits on the blog for the last 3 months from y'all? Hmmm...ratas, sólo buscan darle un mordisco a cualquier cosa que puedan!?!? 


Remember this one, 80s folks? Times have changed and yet they haven't...


Been there...maybe we all have? As Maxwell Smart may have said, wthe old flaming fuck you trick. Reminds me of Lemmy and Ian Fraser's song, I Ain't No Nice Guy (which I have already posted somewhere in the last 50 posts)...

When I was young I was the nicest guy I knew
I thought I was the chosen one
But time went by and I found out a thing or two
My shine wore off as time wore on
I thought that I was living out the perfect life
But in the lonely hours when the truth begins to bite
I thought about the times when I turned my back & stalled
I ain't no nice guy after all
When I was young I was the only game in town
I thought I had it down for sure,
But time went by and I was lost in what I found
The reasons blurred, the way unsure
I thought that I was living life the only way
But as I saw that life was more than day to day
I turned around, I read the writing on the wall
I ain't no nice guy after all
I ain't no nice guy after all
In all the years you spend between your birth and death
You find there's lots of times you should have saved your breath
It comes as quite a shock when that trip leads to fall


I was peaking on acid for the first time, at 14, when this song came on while we were watching the movie at my buddy Roy's house in North Hollywood. I miss old Roy, don't know where he's at these, but I would certainly hope that he has his groove on.


"Get away from me fly, it's not my birthday" - Kenneth Marx (RIP)

I just realized that the song Linger by The Cranberries is about me (cause that's what everything is about...right...hahah), Dolores Mary O'Riordan (RIP) & Noel Anthony Hogan wrote the song, it's obviously about one person not being "true" to another person. In my reality, I talk to myself, in real life (don't we all?), sometimes holler, and myself has not been true to me. What I want to be and what I really am are sometimes light years apart. I don't "linger", I "languish"...

If you, if you could return
Don't let it burn
Don't let it fade
I'm sure I'm not being rude
But it's just your attitude
It's tearing me apart
It's ruining every day
I swore, I swore I would be true
And honey so did you
So why were you holding her hand?
Is that the way we stand?
Were you lying all the time?
Was it just a game to you?
But I'm in so deep
You know I'm such a fool for you
You got me wrapped around your finger
Do you have to let it linger?
Do you have to, do you have to, do you have to let it linger?
Oh, I thought the world of you
I thought nothing could go wrong
But I was wrong, I was wrong
If you, if you could get by
Trying not to lie
Things wouldn't be so confused
And I wouldn't feel so used
But you always really knew
I just want to be with you
And I'm in so deep
You know I'm such a fool for you
You got me wrapped around your finger
Do you have to let it linger?
Do you have to, do you have to, do you have to let it linger?
And I'm in so deep
You know I'm such a fool for you
You got me wrapped around your finger
Do you have to let it linger?
Do you have to, do you have to, do you have to let it linger?
You know I'm such a fool for you
You got me wrapped around your finger
Do you have to let it linger?
Do you have to, do you have to, do you have to let it linger?


I call my burden, my backpack full of rocks...you gotta carry it until you're dead. If some part of you ends up someplace besides the dirt, I hope for your sake it's a good existence...I don't think in my case it will be with Jesus. Great fucking tune played by a true master of his craft.


Another one from Mississippi Fred...just because...ya know...go out with some John Henry!
