the king of nothing
Category: Miscellany

Thanks for all of the comments and advice regarding the bipolar girl -- she stopped in on Friday and again today, but not only did she not touch me, she didn't even come near me. I'm thinking it has something to do with my face, since it's badly bruised and bleeding and scabbed up at the moment, which would make touching it quite the no-no. Or maybe she's beginning to get the hint? I dunno.

Aside from an amazing surprise from the Jax and a terrific Friday night conversation with Mickey Glitter, my weekend was awful. I meant to get that Scary-Crayon layout finished and uploaded, but after getting off from the bookstore at 11:30 PM on Saturday night I came in and accidentally fell asleep. I woke up great and well-rested, only to look at the clock and fucking curse everything because I had just enough time to shower and run BACK to the bookstore for the Sunday night shift. All I do is fucking work these days, and for what? I put in 60+ hours last week and I'll barely make over $400 for it. Barely.

I'm seriously considering putting in my resignation at the bookstore this week. My throat is sore. I'm tired. I feel awful. I look awful -- like a fucking monster. And I'm at work.

Song time!

"The King of Nothing"
by Space March

I am the king
of nothing
I'm the face
of obscurity
I'm a place
you've never been
I'm a shadow
in between

When you fall down
I stand up
you turn around
but I'm never there
I make no sound
I give no sign
of how it is
that you may find

Some meaning now
some simple truths
a reason for this
I cannot dispute

Yes, I am the king of nothing
yet I am the same as everything
I am the son of royalty's blood
but I am the same as everyone

I feel bare
when I see you
I stop and stare
but I cannot speak
I feel shame
and I feel love
of all the things
I haven't done

My meaning's lost
no simple truths
a reason for this
I cannot dispute

Yes, I am the king of nothing
yet I am the same as everything
I am the son of royalty's blood
but I am the same as everyone

I am the king
of nothing
I went to war
but I never won
I am the son
without love
I'm the king
of nothing

My meaning's lost
no simple truths
a reason for this
I cannot dispute

Yes, I am the king of nothing
yet I am the same as everything
I am the son of royalty's blood
but I am the same as everyone

Yes, I am the king of nothing
yet I am the same as everything
I am the son of royalty's blood
but I am the same as everyone

Ja.
