My God. The month of March is just about over! Where has the time gone? Also, can anybody please tell me, where have all the cowboys go-o-one? On an unrelated note, I’m sitting here at my computer and to my direct right there is a nearly empty bottle of water. The other morning I got up and hacked up half a lung, which I proceeded to spit into this bottle. Now, a few days later, if I shake up the bottle there’s a beautiful multi-colored world of swirls and shapes. LSD trails will surely be induced for those susceptible to such a phenomenon.
So last night I was kind of speeding around the house, and I guess maybe a dust particle or eyelash found its way into my ocular cavity, and in my dizzied, frantic state I started rubbing at it. Well, I don’t know how long or how hard I was rubbing my eye, but I think I did some kind of damage, because well over 15 hours later it hurts like hell every single time I blink. I must have scratched my cornea or something–not that I know what a cornea or a retina or any of that junk is…I’m not a doctor (I just play one on TV). Other than that, my night was uneventful. At first I wasn’t going to go out: After initially denying the invitation, I called Z to see if he still wanted to go to this cancer benefit show (which seems like a misnomer–the show does not, in fact, benefit cancer–just those suffering from it) our friends were performing at, but he was already out for the night. I took the home remedy/pharmacology route and it sufficed. I got a lot of reading done, and completely cleaned my room, and put up a bunch of old concert t-shirts for sale on eBay (You’re still not buying my things. I need your money). You can probably tell from the really long item descriptions what kind of state I was in.
Tonight my fortune cookie said, “You are quiet and unobtrusive,” which is much more accurate than the one I kept from my college days that says, “You like participating in competitive sports.”
Enough about me. Here’s your Sunday Mix Tape. If you don’t remember the rules, they’re very simple: I’ve got 100MB of webspace and every week I’ll make a new mix for yer iPod’s and your kingklangs or whatever you kids use to listen to music these days. Sometimes there will be themes that link all the songs together. These songs will be removed if desired by the band or those who represent them. Let me know and I will gladly comply. The goal of this endeavor, as always, is to pique your interest in these artists so you’ll buy their albums.
