It funny how things change. The internet has changed the way we do many things. So instead of standing outside my window and serenading me to let down my hair or drop a hanky for you to catch, you sent me an mp3. Don't get me wrong, it was lovely.

So now, I give this to all of you. It's a song to sing at the end of the day. So be glad it's Friday.

Lyrics:
Well, she gets real mean when she's drunk
And she finally fell asleep, and I'm glad
She said, 'The only way you got as far as you did
Is 'cause of me. Your songs suck'
And I'm stuck in this American town
And the streets are full of snow
And the shops are closin' down
And the only friend I had here moved away
Went back to Dallas
Ran out of money

So now the bills have all been paid
And the money's all been saved
You're still as sad as you ever were
Sellin' out
To the man you trust

The next morning, just after dawn
On the side of my bed with just a towel on
She said, 'I'm sorry. I didn't mean it.'
You never do, let's finish what we were working on

So now the bills have all been paid
And the money's all been saved
We're just as bad as we ever were
Sellin' out to the bank and trust
Yeah, the bank and trust

And I met this girl from Montgomery
A twenty six-year-old with a five-year-old baby
Yeah, I had her when I was young
Yeah, her daddy's long gone
But that's all right, Jack
You see, she saved me

It's just that I feel stuck in this American town
I finally got a good job, it'd just be dumb to move now
So some days I can hardly move
Much less move away

So now the bills have all been paid
And the money's all been saved
We're just as bad as we ever were, ever were
Selling out to the bank and trust
Yeah, the man you trust
Yeah, the man you trust

New Board Shorts, Please!

The sun burned hot in the sky. The water looked cool and refreshing, conveniently nestled in the shade of the building. 'Perfect,' I thought to myself. In all my excitement it slipped my mind to do some stretches, a little warm-up wouldn't hurt, it would prevent the hurt (God knows how little I exercise, if I ever do.)

I dove in, cutting through the water, my own momentum pushing me forward, surfacing a couple of meters ahead. As I prepped myself for some freestyle action, hands purposefully slicing in the water and pulling me forward, I realised something. Something both wonderful and dreadful. Wonderful: I had lost some of the weight I intended to lose. Dreadful: My shorts were half way down my ass. Great.

I stopped, pulled up my shorts and continued on. Stopping at each end of the pool to pull my shorts up. I was not the most poised of swimmers but I was getting the job done. 45 minutes worth of swimming, pulling up shorts and swimming some more, I decided to call it a day. I emerged in all my splendour and glory from the water. You would think that I would have forgotten the looseness of my shorts and they would fall all the way down as I hoisted myself out. A-ha! I have you there, I didn't. It was now that I realised the back part of my shorts are white. Yayyyyy. Pants clinging to my ass, I shamelessly sashay around the pool for a couple of minutes, having a smoke. I'm sorry if you had to witness that.

So, verdict: I need new, fitting, non-white board shorts.
