Expo '86

Sometimes I think this cycle never ends
We slide from top to bottom then we turn and climb again
And it seems by time that I had figured what it's worth
The squeaking of our skin against the steel has gotten worse.
But if I move my place in line I'll lose.

Damn my mood swings. All it takes is for the ipod rotation to come to any Death Cab for Cutie song and I instantly mellow down. Why does music have that effect on people?

Anyway, that reminds me of the time I was playing Tiny Vessels in 806 and it came to the part of the verse

So one last touch and then you'll go
And we'll pretend that it meant something so much more
But it was vile and it was cheap
And you are beautiful but you don't mean a thing to me

And Lincoln was like "why do you listen to this kinda music?" Well, 1) you have to listen to the song in its entirety and 2) songs like this always reminds people about their own lives. Even if the experience can be totally different from the one who penned the song, I say if the writer had managed to make you feel anything through the melody or the lyrics, he's more or less accomplished.

Besides, it beats listening to my daily "so i heard you liek mudkips" on Youtube (go find it and watch the whole thing, if you CAN).

Anyway I'm gonna have to do 3 chapters of Public Law tonight. Being the genius that I am, I left my worst subject (Criminal) in school, so I won't get them back 'til tomorrow.
