in the last 30 days or there about (April 2009).

I got a call driving on 248 just outside of Allentown, PA I got a call from a girl who saw my ad to rent a room, she said, “Hi, I want to rent a room from you but I Googled you name and I think I might like you and don’t think it would be a good idea to rent the room.” A man on ‘local loop’ (loosely interconnected trail system) in Ann Arbor upon approaching a decent on our bikes states, “You look faster than me, you go first.” What gave it away, I thought? Was it the fact that we I started the climb you were almost to the top and I caught you. I bought headphones that fall out of my ears all the time. I went to ATX (Austin, TX for 12 days). I woke up on my return to a dream of her where she sent me a letter with a SASE, I sent myself to her in ATX (Austin, TX). I fell in love with Bat For Lashes. I found love within. I kissed like I have never kissed before. I sold a bike. I tried to rent and extra room. I shared my room. I saw my friends from Wisconsin that are really from Michigan. We had a sleep over. I slept over. I celebrated my Grandma’s 85 year. I spoke to my friend in China. I got some new business for my business. I fell and broke my ribs…again. I spoke to my ex…for a minute. I visited an ex. I got a shipment from Trek Bikes with my name on it. And Chrysler filed for bankruptcy. I watched Garden State. And I kissed more, like I had never kissed before. So there’s that.


The words.

We walked arm in arm
But I didn't feel his touch
A desire I'd first tried to hide,
That tingling inside was gone
And when he asked me:
'do you still love me?'
I had to look away
I didn't want to tell him
That my heart grows colder with each day

When you love someone
But the thrill is gone
And your kisses at night
Are replaced with tears
And when your dreams are on
A train to train wreck town
Then I ask you now, what's a girl to do?

He said he'd take me away
That we'd work things out
And I didn't want to tell him
But it was then I had to say
Over the times we've shared
It's all blackened out
And my bat lightning heart
Wants to fly away

When you love someone
But the thrill is gone
And your kisses at night
Are replaced with tears
And when your dreams are on
A train to train wreck town
Then I ask you now, what's a girl to do?

What's a girl to do?
What's a girl to do?
What's a girl to do?
