until the world caves in.

There is a button on the microwave that reads "Diet Cook." I have no idea what to make of it. You push it and it doesn't tell you how long it's cooking your food, or at what power... so what the heck does it do? Is this button supposed to decrease the calories in my food? Uhhh.... I think not.

This will be a stressful morning today. Trying to squeeze 15 people in a conference room that only holds 10... yea, I'm the fall guy for this goof-up.

I need a vacation from life.

Is this what they call freedom?
Is this what you call pain?
Is this what they call discontented fame?

You push until you're shoving,
You bend until you break,
Do you stand on the broken fields where your fathers lay?

It'll be a day like this one,
When the world caves in
When the world caves in
When the world caves in

There's nothing here worth saving,
There's no one here at all,
Is there any net left, that could break our fall?

It'll be a day like this one,
When the sky falls down,
And the hungry and poor and deserted are found

Are you discontented?
Have you been pushing hard?
Have you been throwing down, this broken house of cards?

It'll be a day like this one,
When the world caves in,
When the world caves in,

Is there nothing left now?
Nothing left to sing?
Are there any left now, who haven't kissed the enemy?

Is this the new year, or just another desperation?

Does justice ever find you?
Do the wicked never lose?
Is there any other song, to sing beside these blues?

And nothing is okay,
Till' the world caves in,

Until the world caves in,
Until the world caves in...


-The Blues, Switchfoot

My favorite Switchfoot song.

I work in an office too, and although it's probably the most laid back and good office to work in since the great fun offices of the dot com boom, it gets on my nerves some days.

I sympathize with you. It can be hard to be a Johnny in an office.
