Valentimes

The other day i was driving down the street and i saw this kid standing at the bus stop and damn if he didn't look like Tommy Stinson, well actually he looked like a girl and i was trying to get a look and then i was like fuckin' hell that's a dude and me and Nick Disaster shared a right laugh and went about our business of looking for Valentine's cards for school...

Of course i'd like to post some romantic fucking diatribe about my life and times and what have you but lately i've been stuck in fucking adult mode, dealing with financial shit and falling trees and fuck all, it's a god damn drag is what it is and i've this afternoon as i lay on my bed and watch the ceiling fan spin i had these immortal fucking lines just flowing through my head but a big pharma sweetie and cupcake later and damn if i can remember any of it, oh well..

So today as i cued  to pick up the I-mac i was listening to this record and was laughing about that first paragraph and wondering why i haven't been hanging in my hipster bars lately and it occurred to me that i've lived through new wave for like the third fucking time and that i believe i was at just the right age the first time, nostalgic or something the second and don't really care about the third but that'd be a lie, i pay attention a little bit but maybe not as much as i used to and hell i ain't here to harsh on the kids, i find it re-freshing when i'm at the bar and i can't tell which is which, meaning boy or girl, it was all so easy when the one place was full of drag queens but not it's like a fashion statement or something but like i said it's alright and while i was listening to this tune i thought about how spot on the lyrics were some 26 fucking years later...

and hell it's Valentimes and i thought this is a nice little diddy about love and shit so why not sit down and bang away at the keys for ten minutes or so, it's good to know the kid's are still alright, though their taste in music may be a bit shaky at times but that's okay too, to each his/her fucking own, and now i'm gonna pour me a bowl of Fruit Loops and listen to a few songs and read a book for a bit cuz come the a.m. i'll be dealing with all kinds or bullshit that i'd rather not deal with but sometimes, well, you just gotta cuz sometimes even us New-Wavers gotta grow up for an hour or two...
