Stars Die

Tree cracked and mountain cried
Bridges broke, window sighed
Cells grew up and rivers burst
Sound obscured and sense reversed

Stars Die
Blinding Skies
-Porcupine Tree





Well, I had a feeling all week that something bad was going to happen. Unlike most of my precogitions, where i have no idea what the fuck is going to happen and i piece the images together after the poop has hit the airduct, i put it together this time. I had a feeling the Daft Cunt was lying to me.

It's Armagiddeon Time
-The Clash

He called a few hours ago. Because of the economy and because i don't have papers, I won't be having the 12 hours a week at Santander i had been promised. I've also had PLT, the other company, offering me work in the afternoon for the past two months but not as many hours. But of course those classes are all gone. So i am down to 12.5 hours a week.

When the great economic collapse happens...., it happens
-Roger Waters Pink Floyd at Pompeii

Fuck.

But when one door slams you in the nuts, another door opens that has padding in case it accidently slams you in the huevos again. A kinder gentler door.

I re-did my resume. I looked at teaching online classes. I looked at teaching in Japan and Korea. I called PLT and told them I have more free time. I love those gals. I accepted a week long intensive course with PLT the week of Nov 16th in Guadalajara, wherever the fuck that is. It better not be the one in Mexico. Anyway, not bad considering i didn't know about this three hours ago!

Happy Viernes!

So the great US bank collapse has affected me in Madrid. I live 5785 miles away and they still suck me back in!

Well, i only have 2 things to say to both the Daft Cunt and Shrubby; Want to make the world a better place? - Kill yourself. As my boy Kevin likes to say; addition by subtraction.

Dare i live out the American Dream and kill my own boss?
-Homer Simpson

So my world is rocked. Fuck it. Bring it on. I'll figure it out. Maybe I'll end my Spanish Exile and move on to Asia for the new year. I have a lot of friends here but i have everything i need for the novel. I am cold and frightened, yet cautiously optimistic. I am a traveler of time and space. At least i have the Porcupine Tree show tonight as a welcome diversion

We all suffer so many blows in our lifetime. All of us. Everyone who ever walked the earth. The great ones get off the mat to fight another day. And me, I am the Champions!
