Diary of a Blood Ray - March 9th, 2005

Tonight we have a guest blogger.  This is Tommy.  "You say that i choose sadness, that it never once has chosen me."

That's a Rilo Kiley line.  And I'm glad to say that Bradley is now a Rilo Kiley fan.  There can never be enough Rilo Kiley fans in this world, okay? 

"It's all of the good that won't come out of them and all the stupid lines they hide behind it's such a big mistake standing here on this frozen lake."  "And then you took off your energy mask and you were cameron diaz!"

That's just for us.  And anyway.  I'm coming off of what is probably my worst day ever.  And it's not even over.  And tomorrow stands to be even worse, seeing as how it's past midnight and i have a nine hour day ahead of me.  Two dollar margaritas?  Yeah, they're cool.  And free beers from the bartender at AMP?  Sure, give 'em to me. 

"This is your last line of defense.  You could sell your baseball cards just to pay your rent."

This is all pretty surreal.  I'm gonna turn it over to Blood Ray now.

Thank you, Tommy.  This is Blood Ray now.  Tommy's on the phone with Billy now, and I'm sitting here trying to figure out where to go with this blog.  I'm glad he started off for me, though, as all I had was a title until he got here.

My cholesterol is low.  My blood is clean.  My mind, though, is a mess.  There's too much in here for me to sort out in this lifetime, and I often panic because there are only a finite amount of shopping days left before Christmas.  I'm sitting here listening to Tommy describe his underwear to Billy and wondering exactly how this life became my life. 

"There's blood in my mouth 'cause I've been biting my tongue all week".   There's my Rilo Kiley line.  Also, that's "it's bad news.  Baby, I'm bad news.  I'm just bad news, bad news.  Bad news."

"I know I'm alone if I'm with or without you.  But just being around you offers me another form of relief."

Wow, you let someone hijack your blog and you turn into someone incapable of doing anything but quoting others.  But, when someone else says perfectly what you are trying to articulate, why even try to fight it?

"And you're bad news.  I don't care, I like you.  I like you."
