Three Clicks and Several Sequins Later...

I'd planned on blogging dutifully throughout my vacation. Obviously, that planned epic failed. Oops?

The Midwest has welcomed me back home with wonderful weather, and round two of the Sinus Infection from Hell. I'm not sure if it's the mix of meds and caffeine or what, but I am absolutely warped today (visibly exemplified by the fact that I'm wearing gray, not black. O_o) . I've also been in a strange mood all week, really. Luckily for the both of us, I've gotten past the whine-in-detail-about-everything phase in my life. In lieu of all that senseless drivel, I have song lyrics! I don't know.....they just fit somehow.

"Arriving Somewhere But Not Here"
Porcupine Tree

Never stop the car on a drive in the dark
Never look for the truth in your mother's eyes
Never trust the sound of rain upon a river
Rushing through your ears

Arriving somewhere but not here

Did you imagine the final sound as a gun?
Or the smashing windscreen of a car?
Did you ever imagine the last thing you'd hear as you're fading out was a song?

All my designs, simplified
And all of my plans, compromised
All of my dreams, sacrificed

Ever had the feeling you've been here before?
Drinking down the poison the way you were taught
Every thought from here on in your life begins
And all you knew was wrong?

Did you see the red mist block your path?
Did the scissors cut a way to your heart?
Did you feel the envy for the sons of mothers tearing you apart?
