i haven't had a nice big piece of fat joicy cow in ages.....so i rectified this last night and went to the ball & chain. OH MY GOD!!!! i have a whole new respect for cows now...they taste so GOOOD!! especially with bbq sauce. and potatoes.

so after i drove marcus home, i got the rammstein thumping. his music really gets the blood pumpin! i call it 'hate music' cause i usually put it on when i'm pissed off about something but yesterday i was looking up the lyrics (both german and english - just so i know how to sing it and to know what the hell i'm singing about) and found that most of the stuff he's singing about is....i'm not going to say 'nice' cause you just can't describe hard rock as 'nice'...but the lyrics weren't just brainless words. to me, they looked like they actually had meaning behind them.

ok, ok....so here's an example:

Mutter (which means 'mother'....duh!)

The tears of a crowd of very old children
I string them on a white hair
I throw the wet chain into the air
and wish that I had a mother

No sun shines for me
there was no breast that cried milk
there is a tube that sticks in my throat
I have no navel on my stomach

AND....the song 'Sonne' (which means 'Sun'), the main chorus line is 'here comes the sun'.

but then, there are songs like 'Du Haste'....which he's saying 'you hate me' so that kinda balances it up a bit.

ANYHOOOO......i'm lovin the tunes. they're keeping me sain!

so after i hooned up the highway, i decided to take a few pics. here are a couple...probably the best of a bad bunch:
