the song of the apocalypse

When the Earth is plagued by a horrible, deadly, highly communicable disease, yet I am somehow immune, I will drive my Honda out of Louisville in search of survivors, and as I drive I will listen to Pyramid Song. At least that's what I was thinking last night when I was driving home from the Drive-In. When I listen to that song, I think total isolation. Perfect, beautiful isolation.

Kinda like at the drive-in. I went with some friends at work, but it got really, really cold (what the hell? it's May, damnit!) so we all went into our separate cars to watch the second movie. All isolated and alone in our cars.

I wonder why people push each other away... I do it all the time. My “friends” call and leave messages on my machine (because I don't want to talk to them) and I don't call them back. Or they email but I don't email back. What the hell? I should be trying to get all the friends I could have, shouldn't I?

I'm not worried about it.

Pyramid Song

by Radiohead

I jumped in the river, what did I see?
Black-eyed angels swam with me
A moon full of stars and astral cars
All the things I used to see

All my lovers were there with me
All my past and futures
And we all went to heaven in a litle row boat

There was nothing to fear nothing to doubt...
