This morning on the "Mornings on 2" news program, I watched a lady holding an infant who was crying while she was waiting in at least a 200 deep line in Walnut Creek waiting to get an iPhone. I wonder if she camped out with her baby overnight on the street. I wonder how the conversation of that couple went this morning at 4am:
"Honey, we've GOT to get an iPhone because I will feel like the odd man out at my company if I don't have 1. Last year's model at $600 is SO passe."
"OK dear, for your manlihood and so that I don't want to be married to a man who had last year's model, I will go wake up the kids. Make sure the baby is fed and grab plenty of diapers, because it'll be a long wait!"
Hideo Kojima is a big Joy Division/New Order fan.. he's gonna be in San Francisco signing his latest globally released masterpiece, Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots at the Metreon on 06/14. It's also Rose's birthday... so, I might not be going to see him.
This song has annoyed me for the past few months, simply because my alarm clock is set to a radio station that has been playing this song... I finally mustered enough strength (as much as I could muster when waking up) to listen to the lyrics a bit this morning, Google search it and find out what monstrousity of a band could write such utter garbage.
Enjoy.
Paralyzer lyrics
I hold on so nervously To me and my drink I wish it was cooling me But so far, has not been good It’s been shitty And I feel awkward, as I should This club has got to be The most pretentious thing Since I thought you and me Well I am imagining A dark lit place Or your place or my place
Well I’m not paralyzed But, I seem to be struck by you I want to make you move Because you’re standing still If your body matches What your eyes can do You’ll probably move right through Me on my way to you
I hold out for one more drink Before I think I’m looking too desperately But so far has not been fun I should just stay home If one thing really means one This club will hopefully Be closed in three weeks That would be cool with me Well I’m still imagining A dark lit place Or your place or my place
Well, I’m not paralyzed But, I seem to be struck by you I want to make you move Because you’re standing still If your body matches What your eyes can do You’ll probably move right through Me on my way to you
We’ll, I’m not paralyzed But, I seem to be struck by you I want to make you move Because you’re standing still If your body matches What your eyes can do You’ll probably move right through Me on my way to you
I’m not paralyzed But, I seem to be struck by you I want to make you move Because you’re standing still If your body matches What your eyes can do You’ll probably move right through Me on my way to you
You’ll probably move right through Me on my way to you
You’ll probably move right through Me on my way to you
And while we are on the subject of annoying things...
