Good riddance Ketchikan! With watching eyes
After 919 consecutive days of blogging and 963 posts, having not missed a single day, I must take a leave of absence for an unknown duration of time. I face a major change in my life, and in the transition I won't be able to blog. I may pick up blogging again at a later date after I'm settled in. I'll be at least a month. I need a break anyway. My only regret is that I didn't quite make it to my 1,000th post.
My theme song for today, just replace all instances of "train" with "ferry":
Cruxshadows - Waiting to Leave
1: Being trapped in this town has a way of killing your hopes and dreams.
You see dreams dissolving1
Distant voices slipping away
I have to go - I hear
The call of something deeper
A voice inside of me
And tears return
Beneath the happy ending
Promised words that scattered
In the cold
I have to leave, I hear
The call of something higher
Something young becoming old2
I can't stay here any longer
Trapped here by the rain3
I can't stay here any longer
Waiting for this train
I'm waiting for the last train
Out of nowhere4
I'm waiting for the last train
On the line
Some people say that I will
Never leave here...
But I have to go this time
I'm waiting for the last train
Bound for somewhere
I'm playing with my last chance
On the line
I think it's really now or never
You know I have to try...
My sympathies,
Are wasted on regretting
Why not take a chance with me?
I have to go - I hear
The call of something stronger
And it's pulling me away
I can't stay here any longer
Trapped here by the rain
I can't stay here any longer
Waiting for this train
I'm waiting for the last train
Out of nowhere
I'm waiting for the last train
On the line
Some people say that I will
Never leave here...
But I have to go this time
I'm waiting for the last train
Bound for somewhere
I'm playing with my last chance
On the line
I think it's really now or never
You know I have to try...
I've been running around in circles
Without any direction
I've been searching hard to find
Who I really am...
I've been running around in circles
Without any direction
I've been lost here for so long
I've forgotten who I am5...
I'm waiting for the last train
Out of nowhere
I'm waiting for the last train
On the line
Some people say that I will
Never leave here...
But I have to go this time
I'm waiting for the last train
Bound for somewhere
I'm playing with my last chance
On the line
I think it's really now or never
You know I have to try...
I'm waiting for the last train
Out of nowhere
I'm waiting for the last train
On the line
Some people say that I will
Never leave here...
But I have to go this time
I'm waiting for the last train
Bound for somewhere
I'm playing with my last chance
On the line
I think it's really now or never
You know I have to try...
2: In this case, I'm the thing getting old.
3: Seriously, it rains a lot in Ketchikan. On the order of 160-200 inches a year.
4: Because of the infamous "Bridge to Nowhere" Ketchikan has the nickname "Nowhere", Alaska. It's like this song was made for me.
5: I've never really been able to figure out who I am.

ReplyDeleteMake it work for you - you've nothing to lose and everything to gain.

If we do not change our direction, we are likely to end up where we are headed.

Have a good transition!
ReplyDeleteAhh, nuts. Now that I can't use snowwy-in-Alaska jokes, I'll have to think up a whole new bunch of potatos-in-Idaho jokes.
ReplyDeleteVid
Have fun, and don't die in any fires.
ReplyDelete-Jesse (the guy who beats you at Magic)
Darn, and I just found you.
ReplyDeleteBe well.
@ Linda: Good words of wisdom. I did not want to end up where I was headed.
ReplyDelete@ Looney: Thanks.
@ Vid: lol, at least there will be no more Eskimo and igloo jokes.
@ Jesse: Ok. I'll just die of something else then. And I did beat you in the last 2 tournaments.
@ Sabio Lantz: I'm not gone for good. Just taking a break.
