Day 39: February 8, 2008- Shades Down Tight

Image by ashley.adcox
I haven't left the house in 15 days. I'm not sure that I see that changing any time soon. It's sunny out.

It's amazing how unenlightening this has been. You'd think after being nearly completely alone for 15 days, something would happen. Heck- maybe I could even find that I have a passion for making little cities out of cookware. But nothing of the sort has occured. I guess that kind of kills my little romanticized fantasy of running away and getting a hotel room for like...3 weeks- just sitting in there. thinking & writing. I guess that saves me about a week & 00!


She never mentions the word addiction
In certain company
Yes, she'll tell you she's an orphan
After you meet her family, Yeah

Yeah,
She paints her eyes as black as night,
Pulls those shades down tight
Oh, there is a smile when the pain comes,
The pain's gonna make everything alright
thats right.

Oh, she talks to angels,
Yes, They call her out by her name
Oh yeah, she talks to angels,
Yes, they call her out by her name

She keeps a lock of hair in her pocket
She wears a cross around her neck
Oh Yes, the hair is from a little boy, little boy
And the cross is someone she has not met, not yet

she talks to angels,
Yeah,They call out by her name
Oh yeah, she talks to angels,
dont you know that they call her out by her name

She don't know no lover,
None that I ever seen,Lord only knows
Yeah, to her that ain't nothing
yeah me,It means everything,Means everything.

Yeah,She paints those eyes as black as night
She pulls those shades down tight
Yeah, She gives a smile when the pain comes,
The pain's gonna make everything alright, alright yeah

World happenings since I last stepped outside my front door:

-Giuliani Edwards & Romney step out of Presidential race (Romney with quite the touching speech. I've thought he was a bad/sleazy guy all this time, but he had a Hillary moment(haha) & showed some emotion. It was refreshing)
-Super Tuesday
-Kirkland, Missouri shootings
-Louisiana Tech shootings
-L.A. standoff yesterday, resulting in an officers death.
-Britney Spears goes into hospital
-...Britney Spears leaves hospital
-Amy Winehouse, Eva Mendes, Kirsten Dunst, Justin Champers all ended up in some sort of hospital/rehab as well. (Though I haven't a clue who 2 of those people are lol)
- Hillary Clinton raised 6.4 million dollars after her Super Tuesday results came out, thus already paying herself back the million she loaned her campaign.
- Mr. Obama raised 7.2(...don't quote me on the .2 part...I forget) :)
-The shuttle launched after a 2 month delay.
-Major developments surface in the Holloway case as Joran (essentially) confesses.
-The "how" of Heath Ledger's death surfaced.
-Tornado outbreak throughout the southeast/flooding in midwest.
-We moved from January to February...and I have yet to buy a 2008 calendar
-The Giants pulled off an amazing upset after a great game (...so I hear)
-Casting Pearls was in town, and I just sat here. (note that when I say "in town" I mean "as close as they ever come"...ie 3.5hrs)
-The last State of The Union from George W. Bush.

My Happenings:
-I've lived off Cran-Grape ocean spray juice & Austin peanut butter crackers
-I've taken 502 pictures (...actually, those are just the ones that are still on my computer, but yea)
-I got my W-2 Form, and haven't a clue what to do with it.
-I've slept anywhere from 2-18 hours a day/night
-I've probably watched a combined total of 150hrs of cable news shows.
-I've found I know some painfully condescending people.
-I've stopped wishing people would "understand" and cut me some slack...because I've found that I don't understand myself at all.
-I've continued to put off buying ATF tickets. It's in like...a month. haha.

I've gotten in to the following musical artists:
-The Bravery
-Amy Winehouse
-30 Seconds To Mars
-Breathe Carolina
-Owl City
-A Rocket To The Moon

TV:
-I've found that "The Morning Show With Mike & Juilette" is the most hilarious thing ever. Seemingly insensitive people trying to tackle 'hard-hitting issues'...it's a trainwreck. (10am EST people...seriously- watch it. You'll get abs from laughing at all the seriously awkward moments. The guy is oblivious & cold- and the girl is...well...clueless)
-The ER reruns are in the good seasons :)
-I watched this guy on HSN for about 20 minutes. He was on there selling flowers. And he felt the need to flex at every moment. He flexed when he waved, turned, held something up. His shirt was about 12 sizes too small, and he was orange. It was quite the show!


...I think everyone should stay in their house for 2 weeks. It's pretty amazing how much goes on during that amount of time that you would never notice otherwise.
