Well I'm goin' out west
Where the wind blows tall
'Cause Tony Franciosa
Used to date my ma
They got some money out there
They're giving it away
I'm gonna do what I want
Do what I want
And I'm gonna get paid
Little brown sausages
Lying in the sand
I ain't no extra baby
I'm a leading man
Well my parole officer
WIll be proud of me
With my Olds 88
And the devil on a leash
My Olds 88
And the devil on a leash
Well I know karate, Voodoo too
I'm gonna make myself available to you
I don't need no make up
I got real scars
I got hair on my chest
I look good without a shirt
Well I don't lose my composure
In a high speed chase
Well my friends think I'm ugly
I got a masculine face
I got some dragstrip courage
I can really drive a bed
I'm gonna change my name
To Hannibal or maybe
Just Rex
Change my name to Hannibal
Or maybe just Rex
I'm gonna drive all night
Take some speed
I'm gonna wait for the sun
To shine down on me
I cut a hole in my roof
In the shape of a heart
And I'm goin' out west
Where they'll appreciate me
Goin' out west
Goin' out west
-Tom Waits

100/365 birds and blindfolds
so here i am, on day 100. i had grand plans of making a hundred birds but my hands started to hurt from the scissors at an embarrassingly low number. the paper i cut them from was leftover from the "te amo" sign. i just discovered i have a couple dozen large sheets of it.

99/365 troublemaker
this girl gets herself into trouble too much, leaps before she looks, makes decisions she knows she will kick her ass later, procrastinates like there is no tomorrow, spends too much time in bed (not sleeping), knows regret like the back of her hand.

75/365 the day the music died
"A long, long time ago...
I can still remember
How that music used to make me smile.
And I knew if I had my chance
That I could make those people dance
And, maybe, they’d be happy for a while.
But february made me shiver
With every paper I’d deliver.
Bad news on the doorstep;
I couldn’t take one more step.
I can’t remember if I cried
When I read about his widowed bride,
But something touched me deep inside
The day the music died..."
-Don McLean, American Pie
this song always makes me think of my mother and aunt. we used to drive from texas to wisconsin in the summers and listen to their favorite music on the road. we bought a don mclean tape at a truck stop and they explained the history of rock and roll to me and my siblings. i still know every word and hearing the song immediately evokes the feeling of summer road trips.
