The Cobras!

The Cobras have inducted the newest member into their exclusive and elite club today.

Everyday I show up to work and sit in my cubicle. Luckily, I have an awesome cubiemate ( Andrea)  who makes work... a little less work and a lot more fun. We work so well together as a team, that we have come to know ourselves as, The Cobras - a venomous duo, who can  poison any obstacle thrown our way.


Today at work, I insulted a co-worker by thinking that he attended college in the 1980's, apparently this is offensive! I think college in the 80's would have been awesome! All the coke, Michael Jackson, spandex, and hair spray you could ever dream of? Where do I sign up?

Having been born in the 80's, I am fully aware of the realm of awesomeness that was the 1980's, therefore, I am offended that HE was offended!  A midst my offending, I did notice that my co-workers eyebrows were quite shapely and well groomed. I picked this moment to compliment him on that, luckily I had my trusty side-kick there, who was laughing hysterically as all of this unfolded. This all started when I offered my co-worker, we will call him Vince, a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. I have the peanut butter and jelly that is mixed together in one jar. Vince had commented on the fact that he had not had this since he was in college. I found it hard to believe that this creation had been around that long! I only remember it coming out a few years ago. He then asked when I thought he was in college. I responded by saying, "the eighties?", and that brings us to present. 






 



I'll Follow You Into the Dark

 One of my favorite bands EVER is coming to concert ! Death Cab for Cutie! I love them and they are coming to concert on August 22nd, to a venue near me. Of course, this happens to be the same day as my first day of class for the fall semester. I also have no one to go with. So on that note:


"I Will Follow You Into The Dark"

Love of mine some day you will die
But I'll be close behind
I'll follow you into the dark

No blinding light or tunnels to gates of white
Just our hands clasped so tight
Waiting for the hint of a spark
If Heaven and Hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the NOs on their vacancy signs

If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark

In Catholic school as vicious as Roman rule
I got my knuckles bruised by a lady in black
And I held my tongue as she told me
"Son fear is the heart of love"
So I never went back

If Heaven and Hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the NOs on their vacancy signs

If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark

You and me have seen everything to see
From Bangkok to Calgary
And the soles of your shoes are all worn down
The time for sleep is now
It's nothing to cry about
'cause we'll hold each other soon
In the blackest of rooms

If Heaven and Hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the No's on their vacancy signs

If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark
Then I'll follow you into the dark





This song can make me cry every time!
