Let's go fly a kite... an octopus kite!

CAP'N JAZZ - "Basil's Kite"

When I fly and look down,
I'd swear that's not me
That's not me
Forget your taught talking and lessening lessons
You strut like a stutter

Dumb loser user boy so used to the abuse,
Can't see how he's been used,
Pokes me in the side
Mistakes my gagging for a smile

I can't fly till he can fly

Why yes, I do have octopus shaped ice for your drink. Tonight's special octopus ice is pomegranate lemonade infused.

HUSKER DU - "Ice Cold Ice"

Barren lands and barren minds
In another place and time
I feel I've never known myself
Frozen in the sand again

See the blank expressions waiting for progression
They're standing still in place and time
And no one's moving, they're only
Standing still in ice cold ice cold ice

All machines and all are one
Catching up on what's been done
Stealing glimpses from the past
These impressions always last

Never penetrating, always contemplating
We sit and count the blessings but we're blessed by icons
No one else could
Trust in ice cold ice cold ice cold ice

We'll stay together till the end
Thinking you might be a friend

We sit and pray together that they might change the weather
My love for you will never die
If I sound distant, that's because
You shouldn't see me crying ice cold ice

Thanks to all my super friends for a lovely farewell party this evening at New World. I loved my special octopus cake made by Ms. Emily of Rise & Grind Bakery. <3

CONVERGE - "Farewell Note To The City"

Disenchanting the romantic
This is the real, this is the shame
These limbs search feverishly for the gift of gravity
Coarse twine tears clean
And I have thought about this very instance for all time
Decades longer than you or I
Crimson comforting, scorching this flesh
giving its caring for me
And I have thought about these moments for all time
dangling from a silver lining
these lungs welcome the crimson tide of misfortune
Hell to pay
This is my farewell to this city

FEST Day 4 - It's nice that my friends indulge my obsession with my favorite animal. Yay octopuses!

MAN OVERBOARD - "World Favorite"

It's eleven thirty at night,
and your in your bed nice and tight.

Maybe your dreaming of me I am calling you,
I am wishing you were here.

I hope I didn`t annoy you today.
If I did you answered anyway.

Now I am laying in my bed
I am hearing you wishing I could feel too.

I miss her.

I wanted to tell her.

I spoke to myself in the mirror for awhile tonight.
I made a promise that I would never fuck up having you in my life.
To be honest
I think your my favorite girl I ever met, yeah.
I think your my favorite girl I ever met.

I bought a new notebook for the road.
Covered it with your area code.
Over and over again,
It's tattooed by the pen and I wish it was my home.
`Cause I kinda hate everyone I know
and lately I've been feeling so low.
Come get inside my bed
you make me feel dead
by being out there in the Unknown.

I miss her.

I wanted to tell her.

I spoke to myself in the mirror for awhile tonight.
I made a promise that I would never fuck up having you in my life.
To be honest
I think your my favorite girl I ever met, yeah.
I think your my favorite girl I ever met.

I just wanted to tell her.
