Don't Ask,

Don't Tell. Yesterday at lunch, coworkers discussed "Immigration." They're "tight borders" types. They asked my opinion on the subject. I didn't have much to offer besides, "well, I wish it were easier to get out of America and into France or England or maybe Capri with a visa and work permit." Blank looks. "So how about that Charlie Sheen?!"

But America does have one thing going for it: Country Music. Y'all don't listen to it, but, as mentioned before, I do. Particularly when I am drafting briefs. I heard a new one today that I need to share with you. It's called Billy's Got His Beer Goggles On. No doubt it is dominating jukeboxes across this land. Here are the lyrics:

Awww Yah!
Billy?s at the bar, he's been there all night
First ten beers he's had, since her goodbye
HEY! HEY!
She left him broke, in his new truck
He don't smoke, but he lights one up
Temporary fix, for his heartache
He's hurting bad, but he's feeling great
He's on the dance floor yelling Freebird
Singing off pitch but he knows every word
Grabs him a girl and he holds on tight
He's chasing everything in sight
He'll fall apart when he gets home
But right now his worries are gone
Life looks good, good, good Billy's got his beer goggles on
Hey! Lot of drunks, get real mean
They?ll pick a fight, over anything
Billy wants to laugh, that's why he's here
You won't see him cry, unless you spill his beer
He's on the dance floor yelling Freebird
Singing off pitch but he knows every word
Grabs him another girl and he holds on tight
Now he's chasing everything in sight
He'll fall apart when he gets home
Right now his worries are gone
Life looks good, good, good Billy's got his beer goggles on
He's on the dance floor yelling Freebird
Singing off pitch but he knows every word
Grabs him another girl he hold on tight
He don't see ugly
Through blood shot eyes
He'll fall apart when he gets home
But right now his worries are gone
Cause life looks good, good, good
So good, good, good,
Life looks good, good, good Billy's got his beer goggle on!

Okay, maybe you need to actually hear the music to appreciate the quality of the song.

Based on the "relevance" bar on iTunes, it looks like you've got some serious readers. His sales on that one song are through the roof. You probably deserve some royalties.

Ah, beer goggles. They tie in nicely with the t-shirt posted earlier.

Hey SJ! I agree and owe those goggles for a lot of interesting stories. How's life in SF treating you?

Yes, the stories I have after a long night of drinking are really all I really have to offer society sadly. SF is good. Have not found enough trouble yet, but I am sure it is only a matter of time. How is life in SLC?
