[Verse 1]
The streets of the future littered with remains
Of both the fools and all the so called brains
The whole prediction is enough to kill
But only God knows if it won't or it will

[Chorus 1]
Nobody knows why we fell so flat
Some silly creature said we'd never crack
Most would just survive and then bounce back
But the rest are crying "Why'd I fall for that crap"
Why did I fall for that?

[Verse 2]
So many rash promises sincerely made
By people who believed that we were being saved
They made us all believe that we were acting white
But the truth is we've forgotten how we used to fight

[Chorus 2]
Nobody knows why we fell so flat
We're impotent and neutered like whining cats
We've found the piper but we've lost the rats
But the kids are crying "Why'd you fall for that Dad?"
Why did you fall?

This song popped into my head today and it matched my thoughts. Seemed like a good one for a hangout New Years Ever thread.

I should've bought that damn house in Wabash you were lookin' at, but I was all worried about making sure my Godson and his daughter were provided for.

I had to do with so many dogs over the years.

Some former neighbors had a Pit Bull bitch tied up to the phone pole in front of their place. She had pups and they asked me to take one. I turned them down since it is hard enough to feed and take care of myself let alone a dog. ;)

Buy me a drink!

When we worked concerts in Chicago at the smaller venues, when we would catch them with beer or booze in the line we would take it since public drinking was not allowed.

One show at the Vic Theater I spot a paper sack in the litter basket. I open it up and it has most of a 12 pack in it. It was my brand. So I pick up the bag and start walking away.

This guy in the line hollers, "HEY!"

I said, "Hey what? It's my beer."

If I had caught him with it in the line, it would have been mine anyway. ;)

See, we should demand Korean neighbors if this multicultural bullshit is going to work out. Not that I would eat dog, but it would sure as shit cut down on on the noise of the spics keeping dogs outside 24/7. WoofWoof!

We worked The Who five or six times at The Vic Theater in the 80s and 90s. It was usually a well behaved crowd. At the end of every show Roger Daltrey would smash his guitar.

Then they would have a free autograph session in the main lobby. Anyone that wanted autographs could get them. ;)

Daltrey was lead singer, Pete Townshend was the one that smashed guitars best I recall.

I had to do with so many dogs over the years.

When me and my wife had to have a dog put down, we were almost always there together to watch the pink or blue shots administered. It was a very solemn affair.

When my step-father was dying, Teri had to guide Sadie Mae alone, a smooth collie to the Rainbow Bridge. I still feel bad about that.

I suppose the worst one was loading my mother into the back of Marla's (GF) silver Nissan Sentra and having to drive her to her GP, then Parkview Randallia for a second opinion, then having to load her back into Marla's (my) car to go clear across town to the hospice. Nothing like letting Mom go in an ambulance in some comefort.

At least when whe got to the Visiting Nurse Hospice, they were waiting to help and treat my mother with some dignity and respect.

That was a fucking hard day.

Doc:

OMG Jim never told me about the situation with his mother at the end. His mother was a sweet kind gentle woman. I loved her. As a physician I can't get attached to patients but my man is trying to give me my humanity back it seems.

I understand a little bit better as to why he won't cut off communications with Marla now. I didn't know.

Do you have any references to learn about doctor's God complexes?

I banged a chicky-poo retired MD not that long ago, but she was so much like me that the whole deal felt gay. The sex was great.

This is our song, I just haven't stomped her head, but I was close to it a couple days ago...

Man, I got so pissed off the other night about the BS her kids were doing against me, I could have have stomped her head. She asked permission to come back a day later, I let her, she had keys.

I had a long talk on the phone with Tommy, and he got me squared away for the time being. How the fuck does Tommy know so much about me and what I do? Nevermind.

Jim says tomorrow we can change over his calendar I might learn some more about him. I know he cares about you and his godson and daughter.

He's so complex at times, then he's as simple as a child. I promised you that I'd take care of him but I can't guarantee that.

The arty's reallly going off now. You wouldn't believe how many machine guns (full auto) I have in the hood.

Fuck, there was something that sounded like an automatic 20mm going off. That's fucking new.

Shit, I'm hearing .50BMG, too.

Shit, I took little Kimmy outside for a little bit. Fuck, it's loud. I can tell the difference between fireworks and gunfire.

Poor little Kimmy is getting her first experience in a free-fire zone.

She's got a great big spook to hold her. Poor little thing is shaking.

It's crazy how bad our neighborhoods has become once spics took over.

I can't even use Mozila Firefox now. May as well kill the stupid fuckers, my life sucks anyway. Should I hope they'll stop with fireworks at 2:00am...3:00am..4:00am? REMEMBER WHEN CITIZENS HAD RIGHTS?

Dr. Kimmy learned what a metalstorm is tonight. She's getting a whole nother degree hanging around around with me.

I'm glad our cars are under cover, her's in the garage at Randallia.

I still wonder what an MD is thinking when you're having sex.

(Edit) She did have me buy baby wipes, which I've never had in my house. She uses them for a lot of things.

I'm still the el viejo that can part the brown sea.

I got Walter into his house. He about took me down.

Blow one guy's head off in 2008, and your a killer for life.

(Edit) There's no grown children, neighbors, etc, tomorrow except me and a 15 y/o hottie that's a 59 y/o MD, totally hot babe now.

The secret airbase is closed and off limits until further notice.

I think today was the second time I got the good doctor to ride in the clown car. I won't let her die.

Your buddy's brain has officially been turned off. I'm in love.
