Friday

well today has been pretty uneventful so far. i started cleaning out my desk, and putting things together to take home. Only two more weeks here. One more pay period. with the holidays, only 8 more work days. This point seemed so far away before, but now it seems to be right in our faces. Almost seems like it's not real, eventhough I know it is.

I ate a cheese steak sandwich today. As I sat here and listened to Cake. For those who know me, you know I love Cake. I mean the band Cake. They are the best. Ever. hehe. Ok maybe not ever, but they are one of my favorites. I love the simplicity in the music. The lyrics that sound like everything I really want to write. John Mcrea, your the best. I listened to a interview he did on NPR the other day. He said that most of his lyrics are about romances, and relationships gone bad. And what better to write about? What other universal thing to write about then love itself? Isn't that what every song is about anways? The bliss of love, the pain from love not returned, the betrayal of love, and the consequence when there is the absence of it. To some Cake's music doesn't make sense. The lyrics are off the wall and sometimes don't seem to fit. But isn't that just how things in life? Doesn't life sometimes not make sense? Isn't there times that just don't seem to fit together? In my life there is plenty of those times. I just don't know what it is about them, but I just love them. And with that I will name my favorite songs on each of their albums, because they have more then you probably know. Here it goes:

1st Album: Motorcade of Genorosity (1994)
All are Good but the favorite on album is: Mr. Mastodon Farm

2nd Album: Fashion Nugget (1996)
This is a life changing album. If you don't own it, go out and buy it.
It's a very, very hard choice, but my favorite is by far: Sad Songs & Waltzes

3rd Album: Prolonging The Magic (1998)
Cake does it again. Another life changing album. Favorite song: Alpha Beta Parking Lot

4th Album: Comfort Eagle (2001)
Awesome album, saw them live for this album, the best show ever.
Another hard choice, but I think that my favorite song is: World of Two

5th Album: Pressure Chief (2004)
The newest album. A little different sound but awesome nonetheless.
Hard choices on this one, but my favorite song(s) would have to be: End of the Movie & Palm of Your Hand.

Hope everyone is safe and warm with the ones that they love. Have a good weekend, wherever in this world you may be. Adios.
