Easy Tonight

You were wrong
You were right
You are gone... Tonight

You were free
So alive
You were wrong
You were right

You were down
You could see
You wore hearts for me

You were sharp
Sharp as knives
You were wrong
You were right

Shot down said you never had the chance
Took a ride on a suicide romance
Could have sworn there was somebody home
To facilitate the great unknown
Woman, I aint going to meet you anywhere
Dont know where Im going yet
But I sure am getting there

Shotgun fire anybody home
I got two dimes in the telephone
Alright
Its not easy tonight

Unfortunately.

Inauguration Day

Interestingly, I can't think of a single inaguration I've ever watched live.

I'm sure I saw them in school, but I just don't remember them.

Today, as I'm watching this, its interesting, while I'm here at work around 30 or 40 coworkers, its interesting that the one singular thing I can think of right now is that I should be huddling my children with me today, making sure they know, if anything else, how truly remarkable this day is.

God Bless America.

Currently 5 degrees.

It was 9 degrees when I left home 20 minutes ago.

Welcome to Inversionville :(

Defroster is having hardly any effect on any of the ice coating my car.

Hey, Capital One

What's no longer in my wallet?

YOU.

... And anybody else who changes their terms behind my back, charges additional or annual fees--or keeps their fees the same for reduced service.

In this economy? Do you really think I'm not watching you, and willing in a HEARTBEAT to move my loyalty ($$) to someone who want to parter with ME?
