    I have measured out my life with coffee spoons;
    I know the voices dying with a dying fall

    I think St.Paddys is one of the few holidays that isn't an excuse but a legitimate reason to drink. Sláinte!

    If you believe even a half of this post, you are severely mistaken.

    I wonder if TV presenters sincerely believe their explanations of the obvious are needed. I wonder if the audience needs to be explained the obvious.

    The Beatles were cool. Only thing I didn't like was how simple their songs were.
    I mean, they were classics for their time, but I just can't put a complex element into them.
    I'm thinking of the song Yellow Submarine with an awesome bass line an miscellaneous jazz solos throughout.
    Not as awesome as made out to be.

    Tonight I will ask myself about the measure for normality, like when people say "you're weird". I mean, how do they know themselves to be normal? Is there any fixed normality standard? How do I know the standard for normality wasn't set by a... how is it called... oh yes... a weirdo?

    Sure thing they never meant to be complex at all

    As if you want to be normal anyway. I don't.

    Yea, I know. Only I'd prefer if it were.

    I'm a sook, yea?

    Statement that seems to hold some truth in it.

    I'm up to 3,000 words.

    I think I'm also done. I hope.

    Yea, like I'm comitting a crime.

    I'd defend myself but I'm a hundred percent sure I'd argue with you and virtually scream in your face, although I'm not going to.

    You, my dear, are not yet off the hook in my books, for underage drinking, young man.

    Well I'm in a rather dream-like mood, but that's probably because it's 2:46 am here and I'm on a nighttime high.

    Anyway,

    Appreciate, yes. Appreciate a lot actually. You'd be surprised how highly I think of you and how much I look up to you.

    So when you do things it lets me down more than you could imagine. And I don't want you to be a bad influence. Perhaps I baby you too much... Even though I know I cannot own you.

    Well. I'm done.

    Goodnight dear.
