stop_me_if_you_think_that_you_ve_heard_this_one_before but sometimes i think we all feel unloveable and we ask ourself the question: what_difference_does_it_make ?
you might hear that things are gonna happen soon if not now, but that always makes me ask the question of how_soon_is_now ?

some days i think i'm gonna end up like the vicar_in_a_tutu

crimson I found the tape in his jacket after he was gone.


Sing me to sleep
Sing me to sleep
I don't want to wake up
On my own anymore



I wonder, was he singing that to himself as he died?

delial it's funny how something can remind me of a person every single time i hear it, and no matter what i do, i'll never erase that connection.

so every time i hear anything by the smiths, suddenly in my mind it's a dark winter night talking to wright over the phone, and a spring afternoon in my bedroom with samantha, all at once.

sometimes i wish i could forget these things. other times i thank god for the memories. the memories before everything went wrong were good regardless of where they led up to.

with that said, i find myself listening to the smiths a lot lately.

dB salfordladsclub.com. my band, dangerpin will be playing with these guys in a couple of weeks. should be fun. we're opening our set with a song that our bass player wrote about morrissey. it goes something like:

my girlfriends into morrissey
and it's not that his music bothers me
it's just that if i want to be that depressed
i'd rather just go to england

and i'm sure that jonny marr
is a really winderful guitarist
but his solo work
leaves a lot to be desired

...and so on. should be a good gig though.
