Something to make me feel good

Agent Tre Smith, a animal cruelty investigator had his licence suspended during the summer, after rescuing a dog that had been left in an overheated car for many hours. Agent Smith broke into the car to rescue the dog, upon the dog owner's return, the owner began being abusive and obstructing Agent Smith's attempts to save the dog. So Agent Smith handcuffed the guy to the car, and then brought the dog to the Humane Society for immediate intervention.

I wrote the head of the SPCA a couple of weeks ago, as part of a drive organized by the Humane Society to reinstate Agent Smith (who was at risk of losing his licence all together).

He was reinstated just the other day, and it made me smile to know I did something to help that come about.

I hate that it hurts

Untouchable Face - Ani Difranco

think i'm going for a walk now
i feel a little unsteady
i don't want nobody to follow me
'cept maybe you
i could make you happy you know
if you weren't already
i could do a lot of things
and i do

tell you the truth i prefer
the worst of you
too bad you had to have a better half
she's not really my type
but i think you two are forever
and i hate to say it but
you're perfect together

so fuck you
and your untouchable face
and fuck you
for existing in the first place
and who am i
that i should be vying for your touch
and who am i
i bet you can't even tell me that much

two-thirty in the morning
and my gas tank will be empty soon
neon sign on the horizon
rubbing elbows with the moon
a safe haven of sleepless
where the deep fryer's always on
radio is counting down
the top 20 country songs
and out on the porch the fly strip is
waving like a flag in the wind
y'know, i don't look forward
to seeing you again soon
you'll look like a photograph of yourself
taken from far far away
and i won't know what to do
and i won't know what to say

except fuck you...

i see you and i'm so perplexed
what was i thinking
what will i think of next
where can i hide
in the back room there's a lamp
that hangs over the pool table
and when the fan is on it swings
gently side to side
there's a changing constellation
of balls as we are playing
i see orion and say nothing
the only thing i can think of saying

is fuck you...


Is it fair to set a new years resolution that I know I won't succeed in?
