i think tom waits may be one of my very favorite lyricists of all time. he is absolutely amazing in every way and i adore him and would be ecstatic if i could sit and have coffee with him. listen to the spoken word track on "orphans: bastards" called "missing my son" and let me know what you think. as a matter of fact, i'll send it to you if you want to listen.

today was nice. i enjoy being able to say that sometimes.
