Even the Losers Get Lucky Sometimes

I hope I do someday eheheheheheh


My oldest (eldest?) niece just got a badass haircut-- it looks really good, kinda "That Girl" mod...awesome...she is too cute.

now I am going to shamelessly steal and quote Tom Petty lyrics just cuz I fucking love that guy!!!


Well she was an American girl
Raised on promises
She couldn't help thinkin' that there
Was a little more to life
Somewhere else
After all it was a great big world
With lots of places to run to
Yeah, an d if she had to die
Tryin' she had one little promise
She was gonna keep


Oh yeah, all right
Take it easy baby
Make it last all night
She was an American girl

It was kind of cold that night
She stood alone on her balcony
She could the cars roll by
Out on 441
Like waves crashin' in the beach
And for one desperate moment there
He crept back in her memory
God it's so painful
Something that's so close
And still so far out of reach

Oh yeah, all right
Take it easy baby
Make it last all night
She was an American girl

Well, it was nearly all summer we sat on your roof
Yeah, we smoked cigarettes and we stared at the moon
And I'd show you stars you never could see
Baby, it couldn't have been that easy to forget about me

Baby, time meant n othing, anything seemed real
Yeah, you could kiss like fire and you made me feel
Like every word you said was meant to be
No, it couldn't have been that easy to forget about me


Baby, even the losers get lucky sometimes
Even the lo sers keep a little bit of pride
They get lucky sometimes

Two cars parked on the overpass,
Rocks hit the water like broken glass
I should have known right then it was too good to last
God, it's such a drag when you're livin' in the past

Baby, even the losers get lucky sometimes
Even the losers keep a little bit of pride
They get lucky sometimes

Baby, even the losers get lucky sometimes
Even the losers keep a little bit of pride
Yeah, they get lucky sometimes


You know , sometimes, I don’t know why,
But this old town just seems so hopeless
I ain’t really sure, but it seems I remember the good times
Were just a little bit more in focus

But when she puts her arms around me,
I can, somehow, rise ab ove it
Yeah man, when I got that little girl standing right by my side,
You know, I can tell the whole wide world, shove it,

Hey, here comes my girl, here comes my girl,
Yeah, she looks so right, she’s all I need tonight

Every now and then, I get down to the end of a day,
I’ll have to stop, ask myself, what’ve I done?
It just seems so useless to have to work so hard,
And nothin’ ever really seem to come from it

And then she looks m e in the eye, says, we gonna last forever,
And man, you know I can’t begin to doubt it
No, because this feels so good and so free and so right,
I know we ain’t never goin’ change our minds about it

Hey, here comes my girl, here comes my girl,
Yeah, she looks so right, she’s all I need tonight

Yeah, every time it seems like there ain’t nothin’ left no more,
I find myself havin’ to reach out and grab hold of somethin’
Yeah, I just catch myself wonderin’, waitin’, worryin’
About some silly little things that don’t add up to nothin’.

And then she looks me in the eye, says, we gonna last forever,
And man, you know I can’t begin to doubt it
No, because this feels so good and so free and so right,
I know we ain’t never goin’ change our minds about it.

Hey, here comes my girl, here comes my girl,
Yeah, she looks so right, she’s all I need tonight



Last night I dreamed that my mother was dating someone my age (by the way the Tom Petty lyrics are done lest you think Tom Petty had a stupid dream). I said (in the dream) to my sister " I can't figure it out...I don't trust him. I would think he was after her money but she doesn't have any money" heheh anyways I am tripping over her getting married it is weird but I hope it makes her happy. We should all at least get a chance to be happy in life... if no one else makes us happy we have to figure it out for ourselves...wow I sound stupid okay I will shut up now
"oh my my, oh hell yes, honey put on that party dress, buy me a drink, sing me a song, take me as I come cuz I can't stay long".
