Alleluia by Dar Williams - AKA The Abbadon Song. :D

Ron and Nancy got the house but Sid and Nancy rule
I died 8 years ago I'm still a legend at my high school
I stole a Chevy and I wrapped it round a tree
But that's OK cause no one's gonna make the next century
I'm up in heaven now they say I'm here to stay
Where the clouds are really puffy and the angels sing every day
Alleluia Alleluia Alleluia, Wo-oh . . .

The cafeteria's got everything it's gonna drive me mad
Cause it looks just like a big Hawaiian party that my mother had
It's like the worst Elvis film I've ever seen
Technicolor luau all on technicolor green
There's camping trips and donkey rides and singing round the fire
And they signed me up for surfing
But they can't get me in the choir
Alleluia Alleluia Alleluia, Wo-oh . . .

But there she was this morning getting fitted for her wings
Leather boots magenta hair and saying nasty things
I'd say she was an angel but it's stupid and it's obvious
I said you'll hate it here cause we're the only ones like us
It's crypto-fascist mania it's silicon deliria
Yeah, she said, you're right, but I like the cafeteria

Hey God we're the bad kids we're so nasty mean and vile
God looks like a guidance counselor God's got that smile
God says, how could this be, that's really odd
I guess I'll have to check my records, silly me, you know, I'm only God . . .

The waves are perfect and the sun will always shine
But there's got to be more to death than surfing all the time
I know the signs of self-destruction so I try to stop each new kid
Don't be like me, forever young, forever stupid
Yeah, I found love here but I'll bet you'll find it there
Where they don't always make the same joke
Gee you make a heavenly pair
Alleluia Alleluia Alleluia Alleluia
Alleluia Alleluia Alleluia Alleluia
Alleluia Alleluia Alleluia
Alleluia

I really really really hate Austin traffic.

It usually takes 20 minutes to get here and 30 minutes to get "into" Austin. I left with plenty of time to get to the PO Box since there's a package waiting for me.

Traffic was much worse than expected and I hit wall to wall traffic MUCH sooner. No problem I thought to myself, I can take the next exit. Its only a mile away.

It took 25 minutes just to get to the exit., I had 5 minutes to get to the Post Office From about 6 miles away.

I didn't make it and ended up turning the trip to the PO Box into a "clean out the junk mail" trip.

AUSTIN I REALIZE YOU'RE A GREEN CITY BUT BUILD SOME DAMNED ROADS. Toll them if you have to but BUILD them. Don't throw them in the middle of nowhere where there not needed like 130 - PUT THEM DOWNTOWN!

Seattle is still INCREDIBLY green, and has loads of highways right through downtown! I drove through rush hour there without ANY problems. It should not take me 20 minutes (on a GOOD day to go 6 miles). Now I have to wait a week before I can come back. And next time I'm leaving at 2 instead of 3 becuase traffic is so damned bad.

Austin...I love you...but build some damned roads!

Maybe I wouldn't be so upset if I had AC in my pickup...
