We have such a sad time together...

tomarrow i might be starting my job as a substitute teacher for the moore public schools here in oklahoma. i need this job in order to have some money, but more importantly to get the experience needed to for my application to become a real certified teacher. if i can become a teacher i can support myself with a good job and get the heck out of here. not that here is bad, but i really need my own place and space and rest and food...

i can teach. i have that teachers look don't i???


still, i slept all day today. if i'm to help teach then i need to get to bed much earlier than what i did last night, or actually this morning. (6 AM!!!) i know things will work out for the better. if this substitute job doesn't work, then other options will present themselves. i have hope and know that things will be taken care of in some way. it always does!!!

there is a band currently touring the states right now that has become a favorite of mine during the past two years. they are called The Hold Steady.


if you are a fan of artists like Bruce Springsteen, The Gaslight Anthem, and The Replacements, then these guys are for you. just really good rock music right here. i still have never got to see them yet, but i hope to change that as soon as i can. this is like the best dive/bar band you will ever hear currently. get into them now because everybody else is already doing that and you know what happens when a good band becomes popular...

oh, here are their four full length albums. first is Almost Killed Me, then Seperation Sunday, then my ultimate favorite and great summer time album Boys & Girls in America, and last but not least their latest lp Stay Positive. check these out and rock on!!!


Lord, I'm discouraged
The circles have sucked in her eyes
Lord, I'm discouraged
Her new friends have shadowed her life
Lord, I'm discouraged
She ain't come out dancing for some time

And I'm trying to light candles
But they burn down to nothing
And she keeps coming up with
Excuses and half-truths and fortified wine
Excuses and half-truths and fortified wine
Excuses and half-truths and fortified wine
There's a house on the south side
She stays in for days at a time

I know I'm no angel
I ain't been bad that way
Can't you hear her?
She's that sweet missing songbird
When the choir sings on Sundays
And I'm almost busted
But I bought back the jewelery she sold

And I come to your altar
And then there's just nothing
And she keeps insisting
The sutures and bruises are none of my business
She says that she's sick
But she won't get specific
The sutures and bruises are none of my business
This guy from the north side comes down to visit
His visits, they only take five or six minutes

Lord, I'm sorry to question your wisdom
But my faith has been wavering
Won't you show me a sign
And let me know that you're listening?

Excuses and half-truths and fortified wine
Excuses and half-truths and fortified wine
Excuses and half-truths and fortified wine
I know it's unlikely she'll ever be mine
So I mostly just pray she don't die
