feel some rain!
On the way to work this morning, I’m scanning through the radio stations and as it passes over one of those cheeseball pop stations, I hear, “feel the rain on your skin, no one else can feel it for you.” No, I didn’t actually throw up, but I thought about it.
The curious cat I am, I wondered what lovely lyricist came up with such a bon mot. Thank you to the internet, who told me it’s by someone named Natasha Bedingfield. Never heard her of her, but that doesn’t mean much. I read the lyrics for the entire song and wish I hadn’t. Don’t click on that link, you’ll regret it! The rest of it is just as bad. ugh. who the hell is giving these people record contracts? honestly.
After projectile vomiting of cotton candy, sugar babies, and various caramel goop I looked up her image:

I’d lick up her vomit any day!!!
On your way to work, huh? haha.
Isn’t there some guy singer bedingfield?
the guy singer is daniel and they’re brother and sister. they were both born in new zealand but we had them deported long ago. every so often they reflect on their formative nz roots which is annoying because as a country we collectively try and disavow all knowledge of them. someone keeps buying their records here but we can’t find who it is. it sure as hell ain’t me.
Hopefully when you have hunted that person down youll throw them into a pit with hungry tazmanian devils.
…except tasmania is in australia.
and new zealand is the same distance from australia as london is from moscow.
there is a conception among people outside the US that although your man GWB makes decisions that have huge consequences for other countries, and although your fellow countrypeople consume astronimically more resources per capita than anyone else globally, that you don’t know a heck of a lot about the rest of the world.
but that’s not the case with loafe readers is it?
you all know about new zealand don’t you?
I will lower my head in shame and research NZ historically, economically , politically AND geographically.
I am sure living in New Zealand is a wondeful experience and its a sane, warm, perhaps sublime human nation.
But living in the US is a rollercoaster ride, sometimes painful, often ecstatic. Everyday is like
guzzling a gallon of expresso as our business and political leaders torque off the rest of the world in the pursuit of greed, lust and acquisition.
I wouldnt miss if for the world itself…God(ess) Bless the US of Attainia!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What is this “world” you speak of?
The earth. I am just kidding Marianne. Just having some fun!!!
why is it funny for me to say “on my way to work”? is there some sort of joke I’m missing?
because I really was on my way into work.
and america knows lots about NZ, simon! that last movie from lord of the rings DID win the oscar you know. we’re experts!
umm, you working is news to me. i thought you just had a lengthy post about not working. but then again, my reading comprehension skills are less than adequate as illustrated by my retard score on the LSAT.
Well, I am working VERY part-time at my former place of employment, doing design work. Very part-time. Like maybe 10 or so hours a week, when Gordon is at home to watch the baby.
so I don’t feel like I’m *working* because it’s not full time and I don’t make nearly enough. but who does right?
so yeah. that’s the lowdown. I’m sort of working, but not really.
And during those ten hours, Ryland is learning how to turn a rubber binking into the world’s smallest improved bong…
Sorry, make that “binky”, not binking.
hehehe. binky bong! umm, cool with the working thing. i didnt know that.
I like the idea of calling it a binking. and you’re right, he probably is making a binky bong. sigh. maybe he’ll let me borrow it someday.
Come on, Jonathan bongs are for dopers, and dopers are deluded losers.
I know because when I smoked dope .. years… ago I was a loser, and when I stopped…
presto chango my head cleared and I stopped losing. Is that Gordons problem.. cant work because of a dope problem? Give me the word Ill get him staight real quick.
Yikes…http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060210/ap_on_he_me/tiny_mom
How come we don’t just pick the weeds in our own backyards?
Because dear Tif they simply dont have the Pharmacological properties Gordon is looking for.
Ya know, judging people whom you’ve never set eyes on or spoken to personally is not attractive at all. Just my opinion. And, please call me Tiffany
Yes Tiffany. But I am attractive any way. When I chastise drug use, all kinds of drug, use dont judge me to harshly, I know ALL about it from 29 years of personal experience. And today 3.5 years past that period of my life I am personally enjoying a renaissance of spirit, health , income, education that will make a fine book soon.
Christa- an example of a child breast fed til 4 or so !!!!

Also in the movie “The Last Emperor” didnt our friendly emperor enjy a “little nip” late in childhood?
Personally it does not matter to me either way. I say do whats right, probably when its no longer
comfortable for mother and child.
*sigh*
speaking of general loafe ettiquette, is it really so helpful making disparaging (and very public) remarks about the father of christa’s son, his family and what he might be doing behind her back, even though it is intended as jest?
if i had a blog and my friends were telling me this stuff on line, no matter how funny they thought it was, it certainly wouldn’t be helping my outlook.
maybe it’s because it’s monday morning on this side of the world and i’m just in a general grump but some of the stuff i’m reading here seems very insensitive and unsupportive to christa’s situation.
Thank you, Simon! My thoughts EXACTLY!
You are incorrect ,absolutely, completely both of you. I am only completely supportive of Christa, her son and her current predicament. I come from a world where the fathers of children are highly educated, own property, believe in god, have high paying jobs and love their children unconditionally.
And if they arent or dont the wife boots ’em fast. There are appearences to keep and decorum to follow. Right? right.
dg, now relax, i wasn’t singling you out here, in fact, maybe i wasn’t even talking about you.
i was talking in general terms about some of the comments left on this site which, despite what may be innocent intentions, seem more interested in getting a laugh than being constructive and supportive.
When Jonathan calls Gordon a reprobate (reprobate – a person without moral scruples
miscreant offender, wrongdoer – a person who transgresses moral or civil law
degenerate, deviant, deviate, pervert ) thats OK , I geuss.
remembering that i am not singling anyone out here, but why is that ok? in a personal email perhaps, but on a public website?
a personal website is wonderful self therapy and allows the author to be as honest as he/she wishes and this honesty will hopefully be very cathartic but then to have these personal asides shoved back in the author’s face in such a public way is a very insensitive way for any reader to react.
maybe it’s what some authors want but i know i wouldn’t appreciate it.
I was probing to see if I was being singled out. With that I apologize if I injured anyones sensibilities. I do have feelings and I do care, or else I wouldnt read Loafe as often as I do and react the way I do these past four years. I really only wish everyone the best. I baffles me to
see that Tiffany doesnt see it and perceives my tone as angry and quarelsome. Its not, it may be “big brother-ish”, but thats it.
Yeah, it seems like he’s talking about me. And he’s pretty much right, in as much as I like Christa and don’t want her to feel bad about her life, my constant insulting of the guy she’s shacked up with can come accross as a poor indication of my opinion of her. After all, how smart can I really believe Christa is if she chooses THIS particular guy, etc.
Nonetheless, I DO like Christa, and since the comments come from Simon and/or Tiff, I think I’ll keep my role as “guy who says the things Christa is too nice too say” on this blog until she tells me not to, either publically, privately, or even just by deleting one of my comments if I go too far. However, in the spirit of elevating the tone around here, I’ll try and be a little more sophisticated & less crude, starting right now.
Besides, in her heart CJM knows that I’m only writing out of insane e-jealousy that the reprobate has the 24 hr all access pass to her cooter when she won’t even email me a photo of her boobies.
Okay, starting NOW.
Normally, I would say “Don’t be that guy.” but I have a very soft spot for Jonathan. Especially since I know his true motives are merely to get Christa and I to video tape our “sessions”. Did I say soft spot? I meant hot spot.
Everyone just freakin’ lighten up! Jesus! Can’t someone be PMS’y???? Simon and I are on the same cycle! I heart you Simon.
I’m watching that old lady talk about sex on TV. That’s always a hoot. She said men can’t pee after sex because “that valve” isn’t open yet.
welp, i gotta go poop on the pets again.

ok, these posts are making me sing “we are the world” in my head.
We are the world Gina we really are!!!
