lost in translation.

need to learn spanish. badly. wondering why i chose french over it? when everyone told me that spanish was more useful.

it is. it was.

when i was a lifeguard the kids would pretend not to speak english when i yelled at them. so i learned how to say sit down. and i learned all the words they would curse me out in before any real words. at least then i could say "i know what you're saying about me!!!" not that anything stopped them...

firma was my word of the day. but unlike pee wee's playhouse, there is no screaming.


"call on the fates
this'll take a second
while I fall on my face
like everyone else...
counting all my relevant friends
well this keeps coming up again and again
if everybody knows how it's gonna end
why doesn't someone stop me...
we're all about the same
a bunch of slaves to fashion
who are tall, dark and scared
and just praying for some action
how am I supposed to know what makes this happen?"
