I'm up at 2:00 am everyday for work at 3:30 AM. I used to be a night owl now I'm a morning bird. To bad I never catch the worm.

The 405 just violently crashes into the 5 in a sea of cars, trucks, blood and broken glass.

And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor
Shall be lifted - nevermore!

At both ends. I pass through the northern end more frequently now-a-days, but used to frequent Laguna Woods on weekends when Marge's mom lived there.

"Though not Manny, Moe, nor Jack,

"Insubordination" would have been a better call, but "neglect" and "disobedience" will have to do.
