The Meatspace last night was cool -- got to see some people I hadn't seen in a while (and some I'd seen only hours earlier), got to meet some new people, got to enjoy some cool tunes from the excellent Gotham Hall... until the damned DJ came on and started playing some really bad music loudly, to which Yvonne started shaking her groove thang. Pictures at Eve's and Fran's. So, I went for my second session today with my personal trainer. Thanks to the miracle of Ben-Gay, I can once again lift my arms up to my face -- though not easily. I'm still in several metric assloads of pain... and yes, that really is a real unit of measure; the metric assload, that is. On a side note, might I say that while I love Pier 1 Imports, their commercials with Kirstie Alley are almost enough to keep me from shopping there ever again. Once again, it's time for that wonderful feature, the Song O' The Week. Since The Matrix Reloaded has been on my mind, here're the lyrics to the song they play in the first fight sequence. They use the instrumental version in the movie, but the song kicks ass and the lyrics... the lyrics... they're incredible and the imagery is just stunning. So here goes. "Furious Angels" - Rob Dougan Like a sentence to death I've got no options left I've got nothing to show now I'm down on the ground I've got seconds to live And you can't go now 'Cause love, like an invisible bullet, has shot me down And I'm bleeding -- yeah, I'm bleeding And if you go, furious angels will bring you back to me Will bring you back to me... You're a dirty needle You're in my blood and there's no curing me And I want to run Like the blood from a wound to a place you can't see me 'Cause love, like a blow to the head, has left me stunned And I'm reeling - yeah, I'm reeling And if you go, furious angels will bring you back to me You're a cold piece of steel between my ribs and there's no saving me And I can't get up from this wet crimson bed that you made for me That you made for me 'Cause love, like a knife in the back, has cut me down And I'm bleeding -- yeah, I'm bleeding And if you go, angels will run to defend me To defend me 'Cause I can't get up I'm as cold as a stone I can feel the life fade from me I'm down on the ground I've got seconds to live Then what's there that waits for me? 'Cause love, like a sentence of death, has left me stunned And I'm reeling -- yeah, I'm reeling And if you go, furious angels will bring you back to me Will bring you back to me...
