Turning it up to 11

Yes, today calls for turning it up. Singing (or screaming) at the top of your lungs in your car because no one ever told you it was going to be this frustrating. Oh, yes, as the Shirelles told us, "Mama said there'll be days like this...." but she didn't tell me.
And so, a homage, to the-end-of-the-work-day, get-me-the-hell-out-of-here, and get-me-a-beer, sing-along-with-the-songs-you-don't-listen-to and sing-in-front-of-other-people-montage. That's right, we need a montage. Beware of my weirdness and way out of date musical tastes (and my wrath, because I'm one angry dwarf, and 200 solemn faces are you.)
1. Bulls on Parade, Rage Against the Machine
2. Song for the Dumped, Ben Folds Five
3. One Angry Dwarf and 200 Solemn Faces, Ben Folds Five
4. Megalomaniac, Incubus
5. Let It Be, The Beatles

OK, I'm really lucky, and my drive home from work isn't very far, so I only had time to listen to 1 angry dwarf a couple of times so I could sing "kiss my ass goodbye now, look who's tellin who what to do...." On the outside, I'm a goody-two-shoes wimpy conformist; but beware of the anarchist beneath......it helps to release.

Coming home from work when you have a kid is so different. I used to come home after work on a rough day and turn into a vegetable in front of the TV for seriously, literally, hours. I don't have that choice anymore, which is OK, because things I never thought I would have had the strength for before, I am finding I do now. Case in point, having a really crummy day at work and managing to not totally melt down. Aaah, maturity. I guess I had to find it sometime. Every day, you really just have to push through the crap, and hope for a better day the next time the sun comes up, because laying down and giving up is just not an option. Although that sounds nice, cause, man I've had this pain in my neck and back all day; I miss massage. (Giving them and receiving them)

Getting rid of all selfish, whiny thoughts



now!

OK, I have exorcised the demons. Now I can give you all some sweet updates on the bebe.
