He's in love with rock-n-roll, whooaa.
He's in love with gettin' stoned, whooaa.
He's in love with Janie Jones, whooaa.

But he don't like his boring job, NOOOOOOOO!

I am well on my way to acheiving my lifelong dream of becoming a slumlord. One of my very first court cases was evicting someone a few days before Christmas, from a trailer court, no less. (And people actually ask, "You quit your job? Are you crazy? Why?)

And after that, I wanted nothing more than to have a trailer court of my very own, so that I could evict people on all the major holidays. It's the stuff of dreams, really.

Our offer was accepted yesterday to purchase a condo in Bozeman.

It will close next month. Everything works out financially. As with the rental house a couple doors down, the rent will cover the mortgage, and we can sit back and let the Bozeman real estate market do the rest. Belgrade, the town adjacent to Bozeman, had a 23% increase in population last year, and property values are escalating rapidly here.

But we're not in it for the money.

We want to be slumlords.

Why, you ask?

To inspire poetry like this:



Dark and lonely on a summer's night.

Kill my landlord. Kill my landlord.

Watchdog barking. Do he bite?

Kill my landlord. Kill my landlord.

Slip in his window. Break his neck.

Then his house I start to wreck

Got no reason. What the heck?

Kill my landlord. Kill my landlord.

C-I-L my land lord!

You couldn't even muster a "please?"

Or form a question?

Or a sentence, for that matter?

Take your robotic, sentence-fragment-posting, lazy ass to Google and look up the quotes.

They are all song lyrics. I'll start you with this one: "Janie Jones" by the Clash.

Hey anonymous... India just pointed out that perhaps I shouldn't get rude and sarcastic with people who come to read my blog.

For that I apologize.

But google does work great for lyrics.

Here are the last few for you:
"two of us" was the beatles.
"broke our mirrors" was Nirvana, song, Lithium.
"sam the Butcher" was Beastie Boys, off Paul's Boutique.
"Backbeat.." was Oasis, song, Wonderwall.
"regrets.." Sinatra, My Way
"The Band is just fantastic" is Pink Floyd Have a Cigar.
"Here comes Johnny Yen" is Iggy Pop.

There, that's enough. And you can thank my wife for that much... If you had left a name, maybe.

My friend, Scot, from the BDUSD, wrote and said he very much enjoyed the presentation as lyrics as is...

If there is a song you cannot figure out, post a comment and I will tell you the artist and the song.
