it seemed like a good idea at the time...

so i was in the kitchen...and i saw a fly..
and i thought..
i don't want this fly in my kitchen so i'll kill it..
but..
i didn't have a fly swatter...and i noticed..
the fly was on the very edge of the counter...
i thought carefully...
running my plan over in my mind..
i surmised...
i can swat this fly with my hand..
if i swing my hand about an inch away from the counter..
when the fly moves..
it will fly directly into my hand..
and meet it's doom...

so i moved carefully into position...
and...
i swung my hand...

it turns out...
no matter how well planned out this move was..
the fly ...of course was faster...
and even though i thought i'd planned out the move..
well...
i hadn't thought completely through..
where my arm would go...even if i were able to swat the fly...
and...in addition to all this...
it turned out...i wasn't fast enough...
to stop my arm from swinging all the way...
until i hit myself in the balls....

i'd like to take this moment to say..
ouch!!


tonights music...
james...sit down...

"those who feel the breath of sadness,
sit down next to me...
those who find theyre touched by madness,
sit down next to me...
those who find themselves ridiculous,
sit down next to me
and love, and in fear, and in hate, and in tears,
and love, in fear, in hate and tears...
sit down next to me,
sit down, down, down, down, down
in sympathy..."
