Which I may or may not have mentioned already � I�m not sure

But anyway it sounds like they are going to come through the freaking ceiling right now

It makes it sort of hard to think with the constant bang bang thud thud right above your head

Then too part of my mind thinks how safe is it really to have these idiots up there banging away at stuff

You know having a ton of concrete fall on you really has a way of ruining the remaining part of your day

So anyway things are going and I am adjusting mostly to being back from vacation

Every time I take a vacation it makes me wish I was independent from the work force in some form so that I could really do the things that I want to do with my life

What do I want to do with my life you ask?

That is an excellent question

I haven�t figured that out yet � I have never really found anything that I really truly enjoy doing at least not for money

I�ve thought about the Super hero thing

You know kicking bad guys asses would be fun

But the hours suck and the pay is sort of lacking

So I�m still working on trying to figure that out maybe some day I�ll grow up some day and decide what I want to do with my life

But for now I�m in a rat race or in the words of the great sage Bob Geldof

�You don't know what it is but there's got to be more

You'd better find a way out, hey kick down the door

It's a rat trap and you've been caught�

From the song �rat trap� boomtown rats (complete lyrics after the entry)

Well I suppose that�s the thing that has been nagging me for a while I know there is something else out there for me what it is I�m not sure but I�ll find it or I won�t but I�m thinking that I will

Well back to the maze �the man� has me running in for my twice a month slice of cheese

Have fun and play nice in the neighborhood.

Rat Trap

There was an awful lot of rocking going on that night,

Cruising time for the young bright lights,

Just down past the gasworks, by the meat factory door,

The five lamp boyswere coming on strong.

The Saturday night city beat had already started

The pulse of the corner boys sprang into action

And young Billy watched it all under the yellow street light

And said "tonight of all nights there's gonna be a fight"

He doesn't like it living here in this town

He says the traps have been sprung long before he was born

He says "hope bites the dust behind all the closed doors

And pus and grime ooze from its scab crusted sores.

There's screaming and crying in the high rise blocks"

It's a rat trap Billy and you're already caught

But you can make it if you want to or you need it bad enough

You're young and good looking and you're acting kind of tough

Anyway it's Saturday night time to see what's going down.

Put on the bright suit Billy, head for the right side of town

It's only 8 o'clock but you're already bored

You don't know what it is but there's got to be more

You'd better find a way out, hey kick down the door

It's a rat trap and you've been caught

In this town Billy says "everybody tries to tell you what to do"

In this town Billy says "everybody says you gotta follow rules."

Hey you walk up to those traffic lights,

Switch from your left to right

You push in that button, and when that button comes alight

It tells you

"Walk don't walk

Talk don't talk"

Hey Billy take a walk...with me.

Little Judy's trying to watch "top of the pops"

But mum and dad are fighting don't they ever stop,

She take down her coat and walks out on the street,

It's cold on that road, but it's got that home beat,

Deep down in her pockets she finds 50p.,

Now is that any way for a young girl to be,

"I'm gonna get out of school work in some factory,

Work all the hours God gave me get myself a little easy money"

Now, now, now na na.

Her mind's made up, she walks down the road,

Her hands in her pockets, coat buttoned 'gainst the cold,

She finds Billy down at the Italion cafe

And when he's drunk it's hard to understand what Billy says

But then he mumbles in his coffee and suddenly roars,

"It's a rat trap and we've been caught...."
