Metallic Monday

For whatever reason, I jolted awake after three and a half hours of slumber with all the commensurate degrees of restfulness and relaxation. Further sleep proved impossible.

Then one of the four-legged terrorists unscrupulously referred to as "pets" in polite company decided to impress me with a demonstration of how efficient their digestive system is when they throw it into emergency reverse. For additional style points, this would be in an all but pitch black room and the only clues they have provided is a general direction and "close".

In addition, I have either contracted a lazy strain of summer flu bug, or succumbed to some pollen allergy leaving me with sinuses clogged to annoyance level and a slightly scratchy throat.

Therefore, I am in a fantastic mood to be at work. Fortunately, the customers have been almost angelic in conduct today. They're up to something, but damned if I can work up the venom to pry open that gift horse's mouth.

Before I return to sating my black mood with more bitter, high-energy music, I thought I would leave you with some lyrics that somehow seem to tie into the retail adult business.

I wish I had an angel

For one moment of love

I wish I had your angel

tonight



Deep into a dying day

I took a step outside an innocent heart

Prepare to hate me fall when I may

This night will hurt you like never before



Old loves they die hard

Old lies they die harder



I wish I had an angel

For one moment of love

I wish I had your angel

Your Virgin Mary undone

I`m in love with my lust

Burning angel wings to dust

I wish I had your angel tonight



I'm going down so frail and cruel

Drunken disguise changes all the rules



Old loves they die hard

Old lies they die harder



I wish I had an angel

For one moment of love

I wish I had your angel

Your Virgin Mary undone

I`m in love with my lust

Burning angel wings to dust

I wish I had your angel tonight



Greatest thrill

Not to kill

But to have the prize of the night

Hypocrite

Wannabe friend

13th disciple who betrayed me for nothing!



Last dance, first kiss

Your touch, my bliss

Beauty always comes with dark thoughts



I wish I had an angel

For one moment of love

I wish I had your angel

Your Virgin Mary undone

I`m in love with my lust

Burning angel wings to dust

I wish I had your angel tonight



I wish I had an angel

I wish I had an angel

I wish I had an angel

I wish I had an angel - Nightwish, "I wish I had an angel"

I want a Claritin, a sword, and some naproxin.
