The Lights Are Much Brighter There (FoSho.)

This day rather sucks. There's a thousand things I should do, but don't. There's a million things that I want to want, but don't. There are things I could do to get warm, that are not going to happen, & ways for me to feel better, if I could just find the energy to kick my own ass & get started. There are bags to finish, book covers to design, songs to sing, words to knit sentences of, plans to make & letters to write - there are even cakes to bake.

I'll probably end up sitting here staring at the walls all night, deciding to simply stay out of the argument while my heart & head debate aggressively.

You know what, no. I won't take this shit anymore. It's about goddamn time the two of them settled down & came to an agreement in this Wednesday-night-depression bussiness! Are we down or not? I'm sure as hell not wasting more time on it.

Dear Dee, go get yourself some more caffeine. Dear Head, listen up now. Poor Heart, just breath deep, & get a sense of this:

(the lights are much brighter there)

(the beer much cheaper)

(& the men much groovier.)

& until then, some pretty thoughts:

(a pretty bird)

(a pretty tree in bloom)

(a pretty band)

(a pretty dirty love)

(& a pretty clean one.)

(a pretty man to run into on the street - & take with you home.)

(oh, & look! Here's a picture of Johnny Depp as an Indian holding a duck.)

Are we feeling better now?

In fact we are. I'd say Johnny did the job. I think I'll get that picture printed & carry it around in my wallet, for emergency cases of sudden depression.

(My heart & my head agrees that's a good idea.)

Song of the day: ‘If You Got the Money’ - Jamie T. ‘Wondering why you can’t eat, why you never sleep, why you’re drunk all the time & cold in the heat - ‘cause what you sow man is what you reap.’ Rocks my socks off - hurry up & listen to it here.

Quote of the day, a.k.a. the mantra of my life (as seen on a post card in Boystown):

'When life hands you lemons - just add vodka.' Or, as today has taugth us - Johnny Depp in a Native American headdress.
