Essence

(Written by Lucinda Williams)

Baby, sweet baby, you're my drug
Come on and let me taste your stuff
Baby, sweet baby, bring me your gift
What surprise you gonna hit me with

I am waiting here for more
I am waiting by your door
I am waiting on your back steps
I am waiting in my car
I am waiting at this bar
I am waiting for your essence

Baby, sweet baby, whisper my name
Shoot your love into my vein
Baby, sweet baby, kiss me hard
Make me wonder who's in charge

Baby, sweet baby, I wanna feel your breath
Even though you like to flirt with death
Baby, sweet baby, can't get enough
Please come find me and help me get fucked up

Your essence
Your essence

I really love this song right now, and the words sound even better when they're actually being sung. But every once in awhile while listening, I have to chuckle because I think about that movie The Dark Crystal, where the gelflings (sp?) are rounded up and have their "essence" milked out of them for the bad guys to drink. I own the movie, but I think my friend De____ has it....I should get that back to watch....

More later.

I got 2 great birthday gifts yesterday evening -- Be__ and St___ came by on commission by Melanie with 2 dozen Krispey Kreme doughnuts! And right after they left, Melanie called and we talked for about 45 minutes -- the longest conversation since she left. It was great to finally catch up with her in more detail and hear her voice and such. She's supposedly reading livejournal, but one wouldn't know that since she hasn't posted anything (hint, hint).

So yesterday during the brief bday brek at work we had a conversation about tattoos because it was almost a year ago that I got my bear tattoo with my co-worker. We were talking about getting another one, and one of the interns said he wanted to get one too, so we might have a summer outing. I've been thinking a lot lately about what I want....I thought my next tattoo would be on my chest -- I would get it a few months after top surgery. But now I'm thinking about one on my leg -- which was the spot I had previously chosen before I decided on the bear on my arm. So now I have to think more about the design. I found an old design I did of a sun, which looks really cool, but the sun isn't really appropriate for me. I'm more of a moon or water kind of guy.

I hate it when I'm going along, seeming to be doing ok and feeling alright, when suddenly BAM! I feel like shit and I want to go hide under the covers in my bed.

And I have to fucking work tonight.

Is it some sort of chemical reaction? How do things happen so quickly?
