Mice Pays

January 29, 2008January 30, 2008 ·

If there’s one thing I refused to do,
is to actually sign up on MySpace.

Everybody has a MySpace space.
Celebrities, Politicians,
Every High School teenager
walking the earth right now.
And even your cousin’s neighbor’s lawnmower guy.

But just quite recently,
When I googled my site,
(because just like any other lazy geek out there,
that’s how I get on it.
I am too lazy to type the triple w’s and the .com.)

I saw this search result,
A profile on myspace with “denofmusic” attached to it.

Apparently, I think it’s from another musician from the U.K.

At first I was like,
“Hey! That’s my domain name!”

But then I realized,
He could be my way of getting noticed.
People may think that they are going to his website,
and end up on mine.

I didn’t really mind the name issue.
This could be some good exposure for me to other musicians.

But then again,
It could be the opposite too.

They might see this site and end up disappointed.

Hmm.
Maybe I should sign up on MySpace
and ask them to be my friend.

Then I would meet some Hot chick
and we would meet up,
and they would end up to be my cousin’s neighbor’s lawnmower guy.

His real name is Mario.

Exit Sandman?

I understand you’ve been running from a man,
that goes by the name of “The Sandman.”
-America

Let me introduce to you my new friend.
The Sandman.

In traditional folklore,
The Sandman is supposed to lull you to sleep.

It is said that he sprinkles your eyes with sand or dust,
causing you to go nite nite.

Well my friends,
this new friend of mine,
apparently likes me a bit too much.
Because he freakin’ sprays my eyes even in the brightness of day.

I try to sleep enough hours at night,
but I just can’t seem to keep myself awake in the morning.

He doesn’t care if I am busy at work,
having lunch,
or just having a conversation with a co-worker.
I am seriously close to having a locked jaw
with all the yawning I do.

He loves me a lot particularly when I am driving.
It doesn’t matter if I blast my radio and sing like a madman.
My eyes would twitch, begging me to shut it.

Numerous times at a stoplight,
the guy behind me would honk his horn,
telling me that the light is green.
With a couple of swear words I’d rather not tell.

I don’t know.
I write this thing jokingly here,
but it’s really not cool.

It’s hard work really.
Trying to stay awake and focused.
It’s both maddening and exhausting.

What do you guys recommend?
Besides injecting my arm with caffeine.
