I’m talking about THE ALARM

Some of you may have heard of them… most of you probably haven’t. Completely under-rated who had the misfortune of just breaking into the music scene just right before U2 hit big.

This… this is the music I really enjoy and thanks to iTunes and YouTube I no longer have to be suicidal that I lost the cassette tapes of their albums.

The following are their most popular songs…

I’ve been listening and tripping down memory lane all night!

68 GUNS

Ignore the dribble at the beginning and end!

THE STAND

BLAZE OF GLORY

SPIRIT OF 76

STRENGTH

RESCUE ME

Ignore the dribble on this one too

PRESENCE OF LOVE

My absolute favorite!

RAIN IN THE SUMMERTIME

ABSOLUTE REALITY

WHERE WERE YOU HIDING WHEN THE STORM BROKE

I kind of know how the day is going to go within the first 5 minuts of waking up. Considering that I could barely open my eyes when Chief woke me up @ 630.. I knew it was going to be bad.

So I emailed my boss and told her I’d be an hour .. hour and a half late at the latest.

Considering at 6:45 both boys were still asleep :: we usually have to be out of the door by 7am :: I knew I’d never make it in time anyway

So I told Chief as he was walking out the door and he said…

that’s great.. makes it easier for everyone

“Everyone but me,” I said sarcastically “That’s why I’m on this earth.. to make everybody else’s life easier”

He was like, ” awwwwww.. that’s not what I meant at all!”

But I was already twisted.

And then Bubba automatically assumed I was driving him to school.. which I had absolutely no plans of doing. And beside, he had left his school bag at the shop.

He insisted he wasn’t going to walk THE EXTRA TWO BLOCKS to get his school bag and even tried to bribe Spaz into getting it for him.

NOTE: Funny how all that “IHATEYOU IHATEYOU IHATEYOU IWISHYOUWEREDEAD” stuff goes out the window when they want the other one to do them a favor.

He kept asking me why.. why… why … like a five year old. I told him I was going to take a shower IN PEACE and wasn’t going to rush around. FOUR TIMES. But he didn’t get that?

Noooo… his solution was for me to drive him to school then come back to the house and get ready for work.

In fact, he waited until the last minute to leave thinking I’d give him a ride so he wouldn’t be late.

Wrong.

I don’t care about that anymore.

Then Spaz calls from the deli to make sure I was still home because he forgot his homework folder… AGAIN… every day since September… the only problem was that his homework folder wasn’t at the house. So Lord knows where it is and Lord knows if he even did his homework… Lord knows the last time he changed his boxers… or took a shower… or brushed his teeth..

I’m a single mother raising kids that aren’t mine

Can you understand why I get so resentful? While the crack whore is off doing her thing.. while he has tunnel fision with the shop and nothing else, I’m the only responsible adult trying to hold the shit together.
