Work Sucks

But it doesn't mean that I hate my job or that I hate working. Try to view it literally. Work does suck almost every part of our whole being.

It depletes our minds (creativity, intelligence, wit, IQ, etc.) and saps our physical strength (stress, body aches, effin' carpal tunnel syndrome) but... what can we do? We must work in order for us to survive. The thing is, what do we do now that we are surviving? Again I go by my title, work sucks.

During the work week, all I can think about is to go on a vacation. Maybe to the beach, the hills or anywhere outdoors. Yes, I do have the money to go for it.. but I no longer have the strength to actually do it. I've been so stressed by work that all I want to do is sleep all day on Saturdays and Sundays.

Work sucks. There's gonna be a rock concert this coming March and I'm afraid I won't be able to catch it. Why? Because I have to be in front of a computer and add content to a couple of blogs.

So there I go. Working my ass off that there is no more room for anything worthwhile. Please refer to the title.

If I Had Eyes


Jack Johnson - If I Had Eyes

Finally. A great song from his latest album Sleep Through Static.
Come on everyone. Let's all sing to this great tune.

If I had eyes in the back of my head
I would have told you that
You looked good
As I walked away

And if you could've tried to trust the hand that fed
You would've never been hungry
But you never really be

The more of this or less of this or is there any difference
or are we just holding onto the things we don't have anymore

Sometimes time doesn't heal
No not at all
Just stand still
While we fall
In or out of love again I doubt I'm gonna win you back
When you got eyes like that
It won't let me in
[If I Had Eyes lyrics on http://www.metrolyrics.com]

Always looking out

Lot of people spend their time just floating
We were victims together but lonely
You got hungry eyes that just can't look forward
Can't give them enough but we just can't start over
Building with bent nails we're
falling but holding, I don't wanna take up anymore of your time
Time time time

Sometimes time doesn't heal
No not all
Just stand still
While we fall
In or out of love again I doubt I'm gonna win you back
When you got eyes like that
It won't let me in
Always looking out
Always lookin
