Day 231: Not touching it tonight...

Overtime seems to have done a job on my muse and my mood tonight. I'm in a foul mood (not an emotional rage) and can't seem to shake it no matter what I do. I'm going to turn on my tunes and let the music assuage my mood. Sometimes it's the only thing that will work for me. Did you ever wonder why when you're in any sort of emotional pain, you tend to gravitate towards songs that tend to reinforce that emotional mood, like there's some sort of catharsis to hearing the words of someone else that is or has been in the same pain you're suffering. When I'm in a nasty mood (like now), I tend to go for Metallica and other dark rock. One of my favorites when I'm in a nasty mood is Shock Denial Anger Acceptance by Rick Springfield. Idontwantanythingfrom you sums it pretty well:

Idon'twantanythingfromyou

You only want me when you're high
You try to heal but you crucify
It's the same sh_t / different day
You say sorry like it's supposed to change everything
And everything's okay
But everything you gave to me you went and gave away
to anybody else
with a d_ck

[Chorus:]
I don't want anything from you
I don't want anything from you
I don't want anything from you

Sorry baby but I can't join your party
And I liked you better the way you were
You're a sad little cliche, you say sorry
like it's supposed to change everything and make it go away
And everything you gave to me I want to give it back to you
on a stick

[Chorus:]
I don't want anything from you
I don't want anything from you
I don't want anything from you

(I wonder how it got to be) You lied
You happy with your little freak show?
(I wonder how it got to be) You lied
Baby you were just so so
(I wonder how it got to be)
I don't hate you!
I don't hate you!
I don't hate you!

[Chorus:]
I don't want anything from you
I don't want anything from you
I don't want anything from you

Yeah, I'd say that covers it.

Good night.
