It has been 3 going on four nights of forced sleep and rest and exercise. I am on the cusp of Alc O Holiday weekend and I dare not wear myself thin.
Today is the anniversary of the birth of a legend and the death of another. Jim Morrison was born on this date. And John Lennon was shot to death on this date. One spoke chaos and disorder the other peace and love and as irony would have it the same era the men were made superstars, that very era and its spawn embraced the works and message of both.
Brothers and sisters of the pale forest
O Children of Night
Who among you will run with the hunt?
Now Night arrives with her purple legion
Retire now to your tents and to your dreams
Tomorrow we enter the town of my birth
I want to be ready' - JDM
"Goin' To Ranalli's (sing to the tune of LL COOL J's Goin' Back To Cali)
I'm going to Ranalli's, Ranalli's, Ranalli's
I'm going to Ranalli's.. hmm, I don't think so
I'm going to Ranalli's, Ranalli's, Ranalli's
I'm going to Ranalli's. I don't think so
Going to Ranalli's , stylin, profilin
Growlin, and smilin, we sit up front cause it doesn't matter
The pizza is done, and we're havin' fun
And it's fly, cause the barkeep tonight is Eli
We order our drinks, appetizers we think, Lets just get the sampler platter.
Our dates come walkin in, we greet them with a grin
Tonight their pictures go up on the wall
Pourin' em, and drinkin' em
We shoot a sly wink at them
Our ladies drink here cause they know thats where we are
I'm going to Ranalli's, Ranalli's, Ranalli's
I'm going to Ranalli's - yea y'all, I don't think so
I'm going to Ranalli's, Ranalli's, Ranalli's
I'm going to Ranalli's
I'm going to Ranalli's, shakin 'em, bakin 'em
Takin up lotsa spots where our cartel is hung
Steve says hi from the back, swears he never has smoked crack
The phone keeps ringin, his work is never done
Too much Jackson on the juke, the only thing that makes me puke
Someday I swear they'll hire me as DJ
So like 5 long haired retards, we keep on drinkin yards
I need some more points, because as mafia kingpin I am number one
I'm going to Ranalli's, Ranalli's, Ranalli's
I'm going to Ranalli's - no man I don't think so
I'm going to Ranalli's, Ranalli's, Ranalli's
I'm going to Ranalli's..
I'm going to Ranalli's crusin it, boozin it,
Afta ya', Beer Mafia, we're usin' it up
Their yards - tall, Fees - small
She said, she likes, the Panzerotti
They pour me a martini, we say hi to Linguini
as the waiter brings out the manicotti
Now I thought I drank fast, but this girl was faster
She's lookin for a real good time
I said, "Close your eyes, I got a surprise,"
and they brought us out a bottle of white wine
I'm going to Ranalli's, Ranalli's, Ranalli's
I'm going to Ranalli's. I don't think so
I'm going to Ranalli's, Ranalli's, Ranalli's
I'm going to Ranalli's. I don't think so
