IT'S THAT TIME AGAIN

"We now know who the Democratic nominee is going to be."

Leave it to Tim, right?

But it's over. I think. Or it's just beginning. Finally. Hopefully both.



And to celebrate!... well, I've been working these past few weeks. Data entry fills the day, pays the rent, and - it turns out - also keeps me current with the radio.

Today:

ME: "Phyllis, help me out... I don't know what the hits are anymore. I keep hearing about Lil Wayne. Is he the guy or what?"

PHYLISS: "Oooooh boy, you don't know Lil Wayne?? You haven't heard Lollipop?"

ME: "No."

PHYLISS: "Well you should. If they play him, I'll pass you my headphones."

ME: "Okay, cool - thanks."

PHYLISS: "You said you're in a band, right? Do you mind if I listen to a few songs?"

ME: "Of course. Here's our entire unreleased record - Canopy Glow - let me know what you think!"

----an hour later----

PHYLISS: "I like track four. It's a little like Maroon Five and Nickelback."

ME: "Good Lord."

PHYLISS: "No, that's a good thing!"

ME: ".........."

PHYLISS: "Here, listen to the R. Kelly 'Customer Remix' - it's amazing."

Me: "!!!!!!!!!!"



There are a few lines... that are just not lines I would be singing if I were under trial for what R. Kelly is under trial for. But. That's why he is who he is and I am who I am.

Incredible, though.

Can anyone enlighten me on Lil Wayne??
