Pearl Jam and Weekly Readers

For those of you who like Pearl Jam you are probably aware that their new self titled CD came out yesterday. I have been waiting for this release for a two reasons. (Thanks to Devil for getting it for me while I was at work.)

1. Pearl Jam is one of those bands that I constantly listened during high school. I can remember many trips down to the Bridgeport Dam for the usual beer drinking that we would partake in at what was called "Stoner Beach". Funny thing was that I don't recall any potheads on the beach. Just us drunken high school kids. Oh the stories I could share. Pearl Jam was always the music of choice and we would be singing out of the car window like a bunch of fools on the way there. *sigh* To be young and free of responsibility.

2. One of the co-authors for track # 11 Army Reserve is one of our fellow myspacers by the name of Damien Echols If any of you have actually checked out my profile page (Dont feel guilty if you havent. I dont always read everything on others pages either.) you would notice that I am huge supporter of the Free the West Memphis 3 cause. Damien is the one of the falsely accused that is currently waiting on death row. He has many avid supporters such as Henry Rollins, Michael Graves, Margaret Cho, and of course Eddie Vedder. Eddie and Damien decided to write a song together at Eddies recent visit. If you have the time, take a look at Damiens profile or rent Paradise Lost I and II. This case is full of BS redneck cover-ups and conspiracies.

Army Reserve

How long must she stand
Before the ground, it gives way
To an endless fall
She can feel this
War on her face
Stars on her pillow
Folding in darkness
Begging for slumber

I'm not blind
I can see it coming
Looks like lightning
In my child's eye

I'm not frantic
I can feel it coming
Violently shakes
My body

Her son's slanted
Always giving her
The sideways eye
An empty chair where dad sits
How loud can silence get?
And mom, she reassures
To contain him
But it's becoming a lie

She tells herself
And anyone else
Father is risking
His life for our freedoms

I'm not blind
I can see it coming
Looks like lightning
In my child's eye

I'm not frantic
I can feel it coming
Darling you'll save me
If you save yourself

On to more fun stuff. I came across the following new books in my son's Weekly Reader order form. lol

Humpday blog suggestions:

I swear this has to be the horniest individual on myspace, but with keeping in the tradition of humpday. Xanthan has done it again.

A couple of things that there just isn't enough of in my life.....

If that is not enough for you check out Bean's blog

One hand on your crotch, the other on your credit card

She is the funniest Canadian I know. If she don't make you laugh something is wrong with you!

Happy Humpday!!
