Current Musical Selection: Johnny Cash - I Walk The Line

well... this is going to be a short post for a couple reasons... mainly my hand. i cut my hand up pretty bad at work on saturday; some customer pushed me and the knife skipped from the box into the back of my left hand, right across my tendons. well... it hurts. i figure i had the blade a good 3/4's of an inch in to my hand, and it was at an angle, so the gash is pretty long and it goes under the skin instead of straight in... so it hurts. i had a hell of a time getting it to stop bleeding at work. i was actually starting to get scared. my fingers all move fine, just its a dull ache and moving my fingers and hand aggrivates the parts trying to seal shut. i suppose i should have gotten stitches; i guess it is bad enough. but ive been doping out on like 600mg bayer and trying to keep it bandages and liquid stich on it. its not so bad. just aggrivating.

also have exam, some latin readings and stuff to get done for bible class tomorrow... after spending 2 hours at the main library i had to come back.. i ran out of parking change. it really should be illegal to charge for parking at the library. i mean, come on. its not like the kids at this school use the library much... it would be encouraging if nothing else, for them to go there. sure tow away non library patrons; but fucking a. we cant need the money that bad to charge a buck an hour to read free books [that were paid off 60 years ago], cant we?

sad note. johnny cash died this weekend. i think we lost one of the greats. nevermind is crappy last album or so, which was nearly all collarborations with pop music lame-o's; but his real stuff from the 60's and 70's is pure gold. excellent songwriter, very unique voice, a man of convictions [namely the justice system... he vowed to wear black until the day he died, until every man was freed from prison everywhere] and definitely a man who overcame alot of personal issues in his life; and reconcilled with his past in his later years. play a song or three this week; or drop the dough and pickup one of his greatest hits cds for like 6 bucks in the bargain bins. give something back to the man that gave himself to music and made a difference in real people's lives.
