The song now playing ("Hey Man, Nice Shot") is about former P.A. State Treasurer, R. Budd Dwyer. It is NOT about Kurt Cobain as many believe. The song was written previous to Cobain's death, but was later tributed to him as well. i've always liked this song, and recently decided to put it up on my blog. i was too lazy to get the lyrics from the jewel, so i searched for it online. that is how i found about it's meaning, straight from Filter's own website lyrics page. this interested me a little, so i did a quick search and found several good sites. i compiled most of the articles i found into a text file (first link below). the Tribute site has a lot of good in-depth information, so scan the text file first for a synopsis!!

"Hey Man, Nice Shot"

I wish I would've met you
Now it's a little late
What you could've taught me
I could have saved some face
They think that your early ending
was all wrong
For the most part they're right
but look how they all got strong
That's why I say hey man, nice shot
What a good shot man
a man
has gun
hey man
have fun
nice shot
Now that the smoke's gone
and the air is all clear
those who were right there
got a new kind of fear
You'd fight and you were right
but they were just too strong
They'd stick it in your face
and let you smell what they consider wrong
That's why I say hey man, nice shot
What a good shot man
a man
has gun
hey man
have fun
nice shot
I wish I would have met you
I wish I would have met you
I'd say
nice shot

hello?? hope y'all still out there. uhm, i'm still not back on my comp yet. won't be back on it till at least sunday. but i'm gonna try to get on before then and check up on y'all whenever i can.

managed to sneak some music onto the web, so hope y'all enjoy. it's a new back i just found called "Alice in Videoland". says they got their name from a really really crappy internet emulator game. i have yet to find any lyrics to them, or be able to listen to any of their other songs, but i'm gonna try to get both pretty soon. i really like their sound. enjoy. - jafo.

everyone should know mustangcowgirl by now. so please say hello!! well, i've been having some back and forth comments with her about this and that. well, in my usual jafo self (which everyone can already attest to) i made a really rude comment and upset her. well, that was just shear brilliance on my part. so now she's a bit ticked off and won't return my comment. yeah, real surprised are you?? well, i'm not. whatever, things are things and not even this can stop time.


actually the brunt of my frustrastion comes in the form of work schedule. as you all should know, my wisdom teeth are coming in, have been for nearly 2 weeks now. well, one of the the 2 regular daytimes girls is leaving for some vaction time this week. luckily, the only other part time person (besides myself) has just finished her college finals and will be doing the day time work instead of me. well, since she will be working all week during the day, i will have to do all week in the evening, THEN cover my full weekend shift (worth20 hours alone). wonderfully enough, today, not 10 minutes after i arrive, i was asked to cover the full shift tomorrow for the girl who is covering for the other girl. turns out, she has an impromtu meeting of somekind in another town, and thus she will be gone (possibly even 2 days!!). ALSO, the OTHER regular day time girl has come down with a weird rapid infection in the leg and will be completely unreliable all week long. she may or may not be there at any time for the rest of the week. thus, it turns that i will be doing an impromtu 9 hour shift tomorrow (or more), and possibly again wednesday, and who knows what will happen on thrusday. at this point, i would like to remind you that mondays and tuesdays are absolute hell. far worse, and crappy, than every other day combined!! on top of all that, (because of the heavy work loads on mon/tue) the secondary manager is supposed to come in for a bit and help out and relieve some pressure. however, on the week of "PAUL", the relief manager is "RED"!! you, of course, have heard me label him, "ASS HOLE", on occasion. so, of course, on his week off, instead of coming in mon/tue to help just a little, he stays home. now i am fully aware that he has a life, and crap happens, but this week will not compare!! thus, unless "Mr. Fabulous" comes in tomorrow, i am tenaciously prepared to work the next 2 days, 12 hours each, alone with "Mr. Grumpy Ass"!! -__-; my life sucks. here i would like to remind you that my teeth hurt, headaches are a bitch, and all this was forcefully put upon me at 5PM today!! i'm an unhappy camper right now.

for everyone, i'm sorry i'm not online tonight. i REALLY REALLY wish i could be, and anticipated talking to ALL of you tonight. but i'm freakin tired already, and i got a busy couple days tomorrow. so, goodnight.

jafo.

ok. can't seem to get the instant message thing to work, well, tmail!! so i'll just write a blog. sorry to trin and k-chan, but i give up on the tmail thing.

Update for everyone:

i went to the "oral surgeon" today. but it was just for an examination. i was almost positive that he would do the surgery right then since the pain was so bad, and cause of the damage that i thought was going on. well, i won't have the surgery till the 20th!! that's 2 weeks and 2 days from now. i'll have to live through the pain till then. he did give me some medication to help last me through, luckily.

my lower teeth are both impacted. they are not causing any damage yet, but since they are breaking through the gums, they are leaving a gap which could very easily become infected. so that's the reason THEY need to be taken out, and why i have to be careful till they do.

the upper teeth are coming in straight, however, there is not enough space for them, so they are coming in underneath the molars, and angled backwards. this is very not good. could cause serious damage to my other teeth, and possibly to my gums.

my bottom left tooth is causing the most pain. it is also very very close to the nerve that runs near the bottom of the jaw. that could be dangerous when he's doing the surgery. could cut the nerve and cause pain/numbness. luckily he says that it is usually temporary. the top left tooth is very very close to the sinus cavity. so he could very likely puncture the cavity while extracting that one. he says it's nothing very serious. he will of course immediately sow it up, and will heal fairly quickly. he also said that if that happened, he would tell me. 0.0!! that wa reassuring!! X|

well. that's pretty much all of it. if ya're curious about anything, let me know. thanks. bye.
