Be my good bad girl  from a quarter to eleven till a quarter to three

 In the middle of the night 

 When I was a younger man I wanted to play in a rock and roll band                                                             I didn't wanna be an idol I just wanted to play in the band ... That's all I wanted to do                                  I just wanted to play in the band ... That's all I wanted to do                                                                                  I got off the school bus and went to the drummer's house He was a really cool dude                   ...

She was talking incessantly. I felt something was wrong. When she started dancing on the hood of her car and baring her breasts, I knew something was definitely wrong! I tried to calm her down, but she started screaming at me. This attracted the attention of the police. I was very glad to see them; I thought they would help me to get her some help. She was having a manic episode and I wanted to get her into a hospital fast. I was afraid the police would haul her off to jail for lewd and disruptive behavior. I explained to them that she needed medical attention and they asked her some questions. “What’s your name,” “What day is it,” “Who is the President of the United States?” She was able to answer all of the questions correctly, so the police figured she was fine.

New York in mid-September can be a bit chilly - particularly in the shade. The parks are usually quite sunny and some days, one can be comfortable in just a T-shirt. The morning of September 11, 2001 was one of these unusually warm mornings.

I learned it when I worked in collections in another life He'll feel good about doing the right thing yes...briefly. I learned all I needed to know about certain things It's a funny story about how I quit that job I was working for American Creditors Bureau in 1985... before then, I had a Tandy credit card from Radio Shack... I bought all kinds of goodies for home recording and ran up a huge tab Unfortunately, I wasn't as responsible then as I am now, so I never paid the bill... One day, my delinquent account landed on my desk... I freaked out! I went to lunch and never went back In hindsight, I realize that I could have handled that much differently If I had not freaked out and reacted, I could have put it in my pocket and taken it home and figured out how to deal with it Alma sent Today at 12:08 AM You sent Today at 12:09 AM I was a little timid then and my boss was a real mean New Yorker who used to say that debtors are scum Alma sent Today at 12:09 AM You sent Today at ...
