Still shambling the streets of the city Nelson Algren defined, I am the Monster in a madhouse refined. Burma Shave.

Alsip, Goodbye, Alsip, You Won't See Me Cry Now
The words are actually for "L.A.Goodbye" with words by Jim Petronik, the voice behind my favorite band THE IDES OF MARCH. Most people know them for "Vehicle." I'm the friendly stranger in the black sedan, won't you hope inside my car...I seemed to have this song in my head as the bus pulled up, the Doubletree Hotel across 127th Street. The company Christmas party was tonight and I did not go. I saw no point in celebrating the fact that I've continued to work through a temporary agency for another year. An email is waiting for the production manager in the morning, and it was well thought out, I think my absence tonight helped matters. So I'll be back at work tomorrow with maybe a new outlook, whether its one of walking out the door or shaking hands with someone who means it, well, if you watch FoxNews and see a balding guy by the Cal Sag bridge screaming ATTICA! ATTICA! in a crotchless Riddler outfit, you can assume things didn't go well. Maybe I could get a job with that band in the poster...

It'd be nice if we had a couple of guys up there looking out for the best interests of the average guy on the street, but who am I to judge?...Wayne
