i writer everyday
and ask her to come back
but i do not send em
i think about younger girls
or bigger girls or wilder
girls arent what im lookin for now
but you know that
and its not super, man, thinking about all of whatever happened
that added up to this
which is me alone at 2am
suckin on a pen
thinking of how i write and write and nothings

you drive through the desert
and you see two things
oilrigs pumping and windmills spinning
motion and no movement
spirit, no action.
whirling and whirling
typing and hoping and praying
and thinking
im gonna die without her
thinking im so stupid to even be thinking

everyone gets over theirs
i got over mines
whats so damn perfect about this little flatchest grrl
with her perfect hair and lips
we’d kiss and cry and lie all night
slept in so many rooms
all over california mexico and foreign lands like
gretna and maui
whats the good lord got saved for me
do bums in the street with heaps of dirty clothes used as sheets
snoozing away in a doorway think about what the lords gonna bring em
and who am i to ask when theyve got real dreams
i just want my little girl.
clouds pass by overhead silent in the nightsky
theyre going to where clouds die
and theyve seen her why dont they tell me hows it really.
the rain, it rains, and it pours on a little pink girls bike
half falling down no kickstand
im damned why wont he say it
in a holding cell not hell but close someone in the cloud has a rope
but theyre scared id use it the cheater way and youd see dangling converses
in the morning with milk but i got better plans dear fans
i just want my little girl.
and they bowl as the rain pours tears from sobbing saints twentyfour hours it flashes
semis blow past spray mud on the corn and i wish sometimes i wasnt born
you dont need me what role am i bukowski kicks the crap outta this guy
dont sex good anymore and i cant hit a curve
i teach fools how to sell im the king of the nerds
so whys he got me breathing still aint i paid all my bills
maybe thats it.
s**t.
i still want my little girl.

had drinks with a very well educated man about this so called innovative band

who said without lcd-s there would have been no lady gaga.

80s throwbacks (because we havent had enough of those) who have two records out and yet somehow deserves the right to be the second bold band on the opening night of coachella.

were those first two albums called “led zeppelin one” and “led zeppelin two”, i asked him.

YES he said YES!

overlooking entirely, we both did, that the third bold band on friday actually INCLUDES a member of led zeppelin, not to mention its drummer being from some seattle band no ones ever heard of.

and those guys have to be listed After lcd freaking soundsystem?

so you got Jay-Z, and supergroup and somehow lcd soundsystem has done something to place it right after Jay-Z

Johnny Rotten wasn’t good enough?

Echo and the Bunnymen?

Grace Jones?

lcd soundsystem.

all we’ve been through together and thats what i gotta see up in lights.

much as i love PiL, i should just stay home friday because of grizzly bear alone, but this lcd soundsystem putsch almost seals the deal.

im too old for three days anyways.

“The photo of LA on today’s front page of the LA Times is awesome..” @TheREALdbean

“the la times front page is unintentionally the greatest thing ever: MA Sen headline with a picture of an evil dark cloud underneath.” – modernoddity

“The LA Times: have a nice juxtaposition of literal storm clouds and political ones — the story about Scott Brown’s victory is above the picture for one about a menacing storm gathering in LA.” – Gawker

hate to break it to everyone, but i dont think that what theyre seeing was intentional. sadly in LA, when it rains, especially as much as it’s rained this week, it’s big news.

crazy, i know. but welcome to LA.

with the busblogger

what do you think she should ask me?

bro, dont choke on your croissant but your hood is under the waters!

scary part? these last two days were just the warm-up acts.

the babes on the tv newscasts are saying that tonight and tomorrow are when the bigass storms are fixin to come to wash us all away like Calgon.

me, im safe in a six story building, until i go home. then im at the will of the 1920s construction folks who built my lovely abode.

needless to say i sleep in my raincoat.

so i started watching it regularily

last night Jon Stewart did exactly what he does best: slap both parties Hard.

this time, though he spanked the Left beautifully for their panic over the 60-seat Senate.

ahem:

“And the reason it will die … [pauses for effect] … Let’s continue … The reason it will die is because if Coakley loses, Democrats will only then have an eighteen-vote majority in the Senate. Which is more than George W. Bush ever had in the Senate, when he did whatever the fuck he wanted to do! [Applause] In fact, the Democrats have a greater majority than the Republicans have had since 1923! But for Democrats, apparently a majority of 100 is … 60.”

in happy ways: LA Firefighters save Haitian woman to cheers of U-S-A

this is what happens when we work as one village.

this is what happens when the richest of us lends a hand to the poorest of us.

in lots of ways this is the true meaning of Christianity.

but take religion out of it, this is what Humanity is all about.

rock on firefighters, lifesavers, and volunteers everywhere

out here in LA

what happens is when it rains after a big fire, there nothing to absorb that water, so it just turns into mud and flows down the sides of the mountains.

youre really not safe no matter where you live out here.

somethings gonna get ya.

live by the beach and it will be erosion or rock slides or mel gibson

live in the hood and one of the gangs will catch you in a crossfire

live in the val and porn stars’ll jump outta the bushes and start to make out with you

live downtown and they’ll build all around you at all hours.

everywhere theres car chases, movie shoots, and annoying young hollywood and their train of paparazzis.

earthquakes, riots, droughts, gays wanting to get married, weed stores sprouting up like weeds, action movie hero govn’r,

the smog, the traffic, the phony baloneys.

everyone is a star for a little while here in hollywood.

this week, enter the mud.

reason #95468

youve probably never been to milwaukee. if so you havent missed a damn thing. when i was growing up in ILL i took my prom date to Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. i didnt taker to milwaukee. probably because even though i didnt love her, i didnt hater either.

needless to say Lindsay is the hottest babe in milwaukee. i say that because shes probably the hottest babe in most towns you know too. i really wish her photos really showed off her true essence because shes a mysterious young woman and digital photography has a hard time grasping what shes all about.

not that im any expert in what shes all about. but it is fun sometimes trying to uncover it all.

anyways shes been trying to break up with this new dude. funny thing is, theyre not even together. officially. perhaps youve been in a situation like this before: you know nothing serious is happening, but they think something is Very serious.

sometimes breaking up with someone when youre both super into it is easier because when the other side sees that youre distraught too they realize “damn hes breaking up with me and its hurting him too? this must be serious.” but when the other person is the only one hurting they arent as willing to let it be over.

especially if shes the hottest babe in town.

with the longest legs.

and eyes that remind you of the rich chocolate nougat only found in Milky Way Dark candy bars.

so why do i love women? let me count the ways. mostly because their ways are so convoluted and bizarre when it comes to relationships. here they are the smartest animals on the crust yet when it comes to their beating hearts, logic is thrown out the window.

click over to Lindsays blog post for today and tell me if im reading this right: but it appears that in order to break up with this man, she waits for him to head to the can, then she gets naked and spends the night with him.

now ive heard of reverse psychology before but i have never attempted that move as a way to kiss a girl off.

cant wait to see if it worked.
