Fleeing the Plantation

So is bro saying the affair in Vienna meant nothing to him?

I actually have no idea WTF the song is about, I just think it's fire... the delivery of the lyrics is great. I always skip through the weird ballerina scene though, the music shit tanks in that section of the song.

2:12 is my favorite of the verses and I like it when they all look at the camera.

At 9:30 PM...

"Where dem soda niggas at?"

"Soda niggas is in bed."

The song is about a holiday romance in Vienna.

I hear subtle Queen influences in that song.

I just love how intensely Scottish Midge Ure is, lol.



It's not a fun song, at all. Lmao.

But man can that guy fucking sing... I love to hear him nail the shitballs out of that chorus every time...

[Mister Obvious]

Midge Ure > Freddie Mercury, sorry not sorry.

[Mister Obvious]

TBH the song is sort of a nostalgic thing for me... I came across it in like 2009 when I realized love is a fucking lie for the first time.

For some reason that chorus just really makes you nut up and say, you know what, fuck it... it's that kinda party.

"Vienna" was the anthem for the "It's fine, I've got this" days...

There was another anthem for the "crying on the floor" moments...

I saw a couple of different sushi rolls in the Neighborhood Market deli today. They must be new items because I'm pretty sure I would've seen them if they'd been there all along.

I wasn't interested in sushi today though. I only binged on it yesterday because I hadn't had any in three years. I'll have to try some next time I get to jonesing.

I just figured everyone would be like "Ohh they mean NOTHING to him? Suuuure they don't"... and then the sausages would fly off the shelf

A squadron of geese flew silently below the treetops in the median as I was listening to this just now.

Michael is taking care of an old woman in a wheelchair. I don't know what their relationship is, but they seem close. He has a hotplate and pots and pans that he uses to cook for himself and the old woman.

This morning, Michael was ranting about how the leeches are always pestering him while he's cooking his and her food, but they never bring any food for him to cook, even though most of them get food stamps.

He was waiting for an electrical outlet to become available so he could cook breakfast. There are only two outlets outside the night shelter, and they're usually occupied with phone chargers. I plugged a power strip in and plugged all of the phones into it.

"I'm black like ten niggas."

"I'm drunk like ten niggas."

"I got it going on like ten niggas."

Such are the proverbs of LG, the primary purveyor of poorly done hip hop in these parts.

LG was evidently just that drunk when he performed his usual late night show. It was literally a floor show. He had ended up sitting on the floor next to his bunk and couldn't get up.

I didn't have enough gas money to tool around town today, so I opened the pop stand early and sold the shit out of some pops. Cola, root beer, strawberry, and red cream seem to be the best sellers, so that's what I bought.

This guy paid me for a ride to the Salvation Army, which is on the next major thoroughfare over, then decided he wanted to go here and there once we got underway. I don't like dealing with people who lie about what the deal will entail, and end up wasting a lot of my time and resources. I think he stole my lighter too.


Nothing particularly interesting happened other than that today. I just parked at the night shelter and sold pops, occasionally venturing out for food and whatnot.
