A few things.

Working overnights is a terrible thing. Besides the pay raise, there's absolutely nothing good about it. My sleep schedule is all messed up, sleeping during the day, and I'm in a haze for the rest of the time I'm awake. Hopefully, this is a temporary thing.

Anyways, I still have my vacation next month to look forward to, but I'm not really looking forward to the plane ride with my back in the situation that it's still in. I still can't really sit without considerable pain. This should make a 6 hour flight tons o' fun. I still have muscle relaxers, ambien, and vicodin, so hopefully some combination of that will help me get through it. Only problem with the vacation is once it's over, there's nothing to look forward to besides more overnight drudgery.

Anyway, I did get a smil out a little earlier when I remembered the Warning/Guarantee that Frank Zappa put on some of his 80's recordings:

"WARNING/GUARANTEE: This album contains material which a truly free society would neither fear nor surpress. In some socially retarded areas, religious fanatics and ultra-conservative political organizations violate your First Amendment Rights by attempting to censor rock & roll albums. We feel that this is un-Constitutional and un-American. As an alternative to these government-supported programs (designed to keep you docile and ignorant), Barking Pumpkin is pleased to provide stimulating digital audio entertainment for those of you who have outgrown -the ordinary-. The language and concepts contained herein are GUARANTEED NOT TO CAUSE ETERNAL TORMENT IN THE PLACE WHERE THE GUY WITH THE HORNS AND THE POINTED STICK CONDUCTS HIS BUSINESS. This guarantee is as real as the threats of the video fundamentalists who use attacks on rock music in their attempt to transform America into a nation of check-mailing nincompoops (in the name of Jesus Christ). If there is a hell, its fires wait for them, not us."

We really could use the man's style and wit these days.

Finally, on a completely different note, I recently came across the most depressing website of all time. http://www.mydeathspace.com links to myspace pages of those who recently died. There's drunk driving accidents, overdoses, suicides, cancer, and more. It's pretty sad, but morbidly interesting. Especially the notes left on the pages of the departed. Check it out if you want to feel really depressed.

See you next time. Remember, "NO TICKIE, NO LAUNDRY".
