Life is Short and Love is Always Over in the Morning...

Tomorrow's the big day... whoohoo!! :)

I end my silly posting of lyrics with a classic..

---------------------------------------------------
Temple of Love


With the fire from the fireworks up above me
With a gun for a lover and a shot for the pain at hand
You run for cover in the temple of love
You run for another but still the same
For the wind will blow my name across this land

In the temple of love you hide together
Believing pain and fear outside
But someone near you rides the weather
And the tears he cried will rain on walls
As wide as lovers eyes

In the temple of love: shine like thunder
In the temple of love: cry like rain
In the temple of love: hear my calling
In the temple of love: hear my name

And the devil in black dress watches over
My guardian angel walks away
Life is short and love is always over in the morning
Black wind come carry me far away

With the sunlight died and night above me
With a gun for a lover and a shot for the pain inside
You run for cover in the temple of love
You run for another it’s all the same
For the wind will blow and throw your walls aside

With the fire from the fireworks up above
With a gun for a lover and a shot for the pain
You run for cover in the temple of love
I shine like thunder cry like rain
And the temple grows old and strong
But the wind blows longer cold and long
And the temple of love will fall before
This black wind calls my name to you no more

In the black sky thunder sweeping
Underground and over water
Sounds of crying weeping will not save
Your faith for bricks and dreams for mortar
All your prayers must seem as nothing
Ninety-six below the wave
When stone is dust and only air remains
The only haven you can trust

In the temple of love: shine like thunder
In the temple of love: cry like rain
In the temple of love: hear my calling
And the temple of love is falling
Down

No Time to Cry

It's just a feeling
I get sometimes
A feeling
Sometimes
And I get frightened
Just like you
I get frightened too
but it's...

No time for heartache
No time to run and hide
No time for breaking down
No time to cry

Sometimes in the world as is you've
Got to shake the hand that feeds you
It's just like Adam says
It's not so hard to understand
It's just like always coming down on
Just like Jesus never came and
What did you expect to find
It's just like always here again it's...

No time for heartache
No time to run and hide
No time for breaking down
No time to cry

Everything will be alright
Everything will turn out fine
Some nights I still can't sleep
And the voices pass with time
And I keep

No time for tears
No time to run and hide
No time to be afraid of fear
I keep no time to cry

Nine While Nine

Concert is 3 days away!! :D

----------------------------------------
NINE WHILE NINE

And it's passing strange
And I'm waiting for the train
Caught up on this line again
And it's passing slowly
Killing time but it's better than living in what will come
And I've still got some of your letters with me
And I thought sometimes or I read too much
And I think you know
Let's drink to the dead lying under the water
And the cost of the blood on the driven snow
And the lipstick on my cigarettes
Frost upon the window pane
Nine while nine and I'm waiting for the train
She said do you remember a time when angels
Do you remember a time when fear
In the days when I was stronger
In the days when you were here she said
When days had no beginning
While days had no end when shadows grew no longer
I knew no other friend but you were wild
You were wild
Frost upon these cigarettes
Lipstick on the window pane
And I've lost all sense of the world outside
But I can't forget so I call your name
And I'm looking for a life for me
And I'm looking for a life for you
And I'm talking to myself again
And it's so damn cold it's just not true
And I'm walking through the rain
Trying to hold on waiting for the train
And I'm only looking for what you want
But it's lonely here and I think you knew
And I'm and I'm waiting and I wait in vain
Nine while nine and I'm waiting For the train

Sometimes, booze IS the answer...

Warning: Revealing a bit of my inner geek here.

So yes, I do play the occasional Xbox game once in a while. Lately it's been Mech Assault 2: Lone Wolf. (Jon usually kicks my butt in every Xbox game and he's got good skills across the board. Except Mech Assault. Jon sux at Mech Assault :D)

So I breezed through the entire game with no real problems, except the big boss dude at the end. I couldn't beat him. I played 2 2-hour sessions tyring to beat him, over and over, without success. My thumbs were throbbing.

Enter last Saturday night, out at the bar with my neighbour. The most beer I've had in at least a year. Fun times all around. I get home about 2am, happily drunk. I think about bed, then I think about the damn game. "Just a couple of tries before sleep", I think to myself.

I fire up the game after stumbling around my basement and trying to find the coordination to plug in the controller. I plop down on the couch and start the all-too-familiar battle with big boss dude.

And beat him on my first try. :)

Numbed nerves? Increased boldness, creativity? I dunno... but it worked.

Maybe I should start my weekday off with a six pack, I wonder what it would do for my job performance! :D
