Thoughts of Randomness Vol. 21

How many bands have covered that damn song?

 

Close your eyes and surrender to your darkest dreams
Leave all thoughts of the world you knew before
Close your eyes, let your spirit start to soar
And you'll live as you've never lived before


Softly, deftly, music shall caress you
Hear it, feel it, secretly possess you
Open up your mind, let your fantasies unwind
In this darkness which you know you cannot fight
The darkness of the music of the night

 

Fuck, now I'm listening to Dashboard Confessional. Damn her and her stupid mix CD.

 

And now I'm out. Later, everyone.

 

Night, man.

 

Laterzorzes Chris.

OHMYFUUU WHY DO SEAGUL'S HAVE TO MAKE SO MUCH FREAKIN' NOISE IN THE MORNING?!?! AND WHY DON'T I HAVE A GUN?!!?!? >;(

 

Most annoying bird ever.

 

They just seem to sqwalk non stop and there's like 50 of them and they make so much noise. >;(

I want my sleep! >;(

 

Somehow we get seagulls here sometimes, even though the center of Birmingham is supposed to be the most landlocked part of England. Must be the canals and the reservoir.

Today it looks like Silent Hill outside, there's so much mist. I already didn't want to go out owing to this bug I have, or whatever it is.

 

What did the Simpsons describe seagulls as?

 

Well I literally live 50-100 yards from the sea, so it's natural we get seagulls, but I hate the bastards, used to have a BB handgun and shoot them away but alas it broke.

 

One summer, like four years ago, every single day at 3 am like clock work this bird would be in the tree right outside my daughter's room, and it would start singing. Every day for like two months straight. Damn thing, I finally started wearing ear plugs.

 

GAH.....

 

Right I've got to get ready now, peace guys.

 

I think I just came ....


to the conclusion that I am an insomniac

 

I read only the first part...
