Never Comes the Day, Part 6: Your Wildest Dreams

Never Comes the Update...

One for the Money

Two for the X

Um…　Skip a three and four

Five for Japanese Babies

(BUCK-TICK. "Iconoclasm." Taboo. Victor, 1989)

Ever wonder  if there is any actual meaning in the epigraphs?  None, really.  I was actually going to use the opening of Alt Stewart's "If it Doesn't Come Naturally, leave it" but found I'd already used it...

The Difference Between Truth and Fiction

Manic moves and drowsy dreams

Or living in the middle between the two extremes

(Hall & Oates. "Out of Touch." Big Bam Boom. RCA Records, 1984)

The majority of Never Comes the Day takes place in the mid 1980's.  This made me start looking into music from that era today.  While listening to Hall & Oats at work today, something happened that shows the difference between what happens to me in real life, and what happens to characters in a story.

All Good Things...

Where it began, 

I can't begin to knowin' 

But then I know it's growing strong 

Was in the spring 

And spring became the summer 

Who'd have believed you'd come along.

(DIAMOND, Neil. "Sweet Caroline." Single. MCA Records, 1972)

After about two and a half years, I'm calling it quits on this blog.

A Day at the Park

The sound of waves in a pool of water

I’m drowning in my nostalgia

(SYLVIAN, David. "Nostalgia". Brilliant Trees. Virgin, 1984)

I grabbed my camera and headed out on the road.  No one expressed interest in going with me, so I took off alone.  No destination had been planned, I just pointed my car at the road and drove.  I’ve spent enough time around the parks in my area, and, really, nothing in Beaverton grabbed my attention.  

Quick note

A Last Hurrah

Got a call from the camera shop today.  I thought they were done with my camera, but it turns out they just had gotten my shots back from the out-lab.

A New Beginning.

Strange fascination, fascinating me

Changes are taking the pace I'm going through

(BOWIE, David "Changes." Hunky Dory. RCA Records, 1972)

You probably thought I forgot I had a blog!  I only did that once, but, then again, I was drunk when I started it.  Then it was a month before I posted anything, and that was just a picture of me and my cat!

Brain dead

Well nothing that's forced can ever be right

If it doesn't come naturally, leave it

That's what she said as she turned out the light

And she may have been wrong, and she may have been right

(STEWART, Al. "If it Doesn't Come Naturally, Leave It". Year of the Cat. RCA, 1976)

I’m trying to come up with something to write, but I’m more interested in watching the sparrows fight over crumbs on the sidewalk.

Lousy Thursday

Instant Karma's gonna get you

Gonna knock you right in the head

You better get yourself together

Pretty soon your gonna be dead

(Lennon, John. "Instant Karma." Single. Apple, 1970)

I was driving into work on Thursday the 8th when I heard that Apple was releasing the third gen iPad.  There was no annocement of the name, but I doubt it will be called the iPad 3 given Apple’s superstitions.  Given how poorly the Apple III and the LCIII did, it’s no wonder they have a problem with that number.

Cute Picture

Found this picture on the internets.  I thought it was cute.

Sunday Driving

I'll pack my bags and head into hyperspace 

Where I'll succeed at time-warp speed 

Spend my days in ultraviolet rays 

Fun, fun, fun, In the sun, sun, sun. 

(Red Dwarf Theme song (full version))

Set out today to find a place to sit and do some writing.  I first started at ubiquitous Seattle based coffee purveyor, but the guy with all the tattoos kept staring at me, so I left.  I hopped in my car and started driving.  

VIDEO OVERLOAD!

Sometimes I think it's a shame

When I get feelin' better when I'm feelin' no pain

(Lightfoot, Gordon. "Sundown". Sundown. Reprise, 1974)

Miserable day at work today.

Life Imitating...

Some people believe a photograph traps your mortal soul

(Jones, Howard. "The Prisoner". Cross That Line. Elektra,1988)

One of my (two) readers sent me this picture.

Based on Actual Events

You walked into the party like you were walking onto a yacht

(Carly Simon. "You're So Vain". No Secrets. Elektra, 1972)
