Tumblring after the California Dream RSS

A Tumbled Account of My Constant Search for the California Dream. at times it may not seem that these mundane pictures of my life in a suburban concrete waste-land have anything to do with chasing the endless possibilities for freedom, beauty and radical self expression that this Golden State has to offer. but remember. reality is a complicated one, and it is not as straightforward as we might think.

Señor (Tales of Yankee Power)

Well, the last thing I remember before I stripped and kneeled
Was that trainload of fools bogged down in a magnetic field.
A gypsy with a broken flag and a flashing ring
Said, “Son, this ain’t a dream no more, it’s the real thing.”

Senor, senor, you know their hearts is as hard as leather.
Well, give me a minute, let me get it together.
I just gotta pick myself up off the floor.
I’m ready when you are, senor.

Senor, senor, let’s disconnect these cables,
Overturn these tables.
This place don’t make sense to me no more.
Can you tell me what we’re waiting for, senor?

-Bob Dylan
