A little history
08 Feb 2007 11 Comments
So a few people asked about why I was in the dean’s office so much in hs.
That’s coming.
Mr Fab thinks I’m the one that burned down the mall. I wasn’t.
In 1991 my sister was graduating med school. We were at her medical school. My grandparents called to talk to us (from Florida) and tell us that the mall in Long Island, across the street from our house, was burning down. I immediatly called S1 & S2 and got the scoop. The mall was burning down. (they were a font of information) It started in the basement of one of the stores. It spread very quickly. 2 people were killed. (I remember it being 3, but I am not arguing with newspaper articles). The arsonist was a security guard who wanted to be a hero He was charged with murder and arson. And I’m proud to say I graduated with him. (I didn’t know him though, cause that would have required making my circle of friends larger then S1 and S2 and that wasn’t gonna happen.) Needless to say, he didn’t make it to the 10 year graduation. Of course, neither did I because I hated it the first time why would I want to see them 10 years later.
Wish me valentines wishes

because, I ain’t got no boy to do it.
Apparently I can’t see them until Valentines day. The most evil day of the year for the perpetually single girl.
That’s High School

Maybe one day I’ll tell why I was sent to the Dean all the time in 9th grade. I find it entertaining.
An apology

in Links, Special notice
I am so sorry. I actually just watched the video for Against all odds (I didn’t watch it before, I love the song but never watched the complete video)
I had no idea it was for a crap movie. So I am sorry for making you watch a really good song (well this version, although Phil Collins sort of rocks old school) for a crappy movie, but really, isn’t Ben’s voice awesome.

Update, the video for We Will Be Silhouettes was removed for infringment. If you go to U-tube and type in postal service or the name of the song, you can see the video, there are a couple of versions.
I love this song. I am a big fan of The Postal Service. I am also a big fan of Death Cab for Cutie (which makes sense since it’s the same lead singer).
But, as much as I love Ben Gibbard’s voice in this song (well, ok all PS songs), the lyrics are a tad disturbing.
“We Will Become Silhouettes”
I’ve got a cupboard with cans of food, filtered water,
And pictures of you and i’m not coming out
Until this is all over
And i’m looking through the glass where the light bends
At the cracks
And i’m screaming at the top of my lungs pretending
The echoes belong to someone
Someone i used to know
And we become silhouettes when our bodies finally go
Ba ba ba…
I wanted to walk through the empty streets
And feel something constant under my feet,
But all the news reports recommended that
I stay indoors
Because the air outside will make our cells
Divide at an alarming rate until our shells
Simply cannot hold all our insides in,
And that’s when we’ll explode
(and it won’t be a pretty sight)
And we’ll become silhouettes when our bodies finally go
Ba ba ba…
And we’ll become silhouettes when our bodies finally go
Ba ba ba…
And we’ll become silhouettes when our bodies finally go
Ba ba ba…
And we’ll become silhouettes when our bodies finally go
Ba ba ba…
And we’ll become
And we’ll become
I mean really. read that. It’s deadly. Really it is. They also do an amazing cover of Against All Odds
