This past week has been interesting. I have been on a special assignment at work, investigating why a project was not ready to implement as planned, resulting in one co-worker losing their job and costing our company significant dollars.
As we have dealt with the multiple personalities involved (pun intended), it has been very interesting to say the least. We have several weeks left, so I may be returning to this entry on a regular basis to get my comedic relief.
It also reminded me of Beth's recent entry based on a Time Magazine article we recently read, go see her entry by clicking the link Insane in the Membrane :o)
I am sure as we have all traveled on our various journeys, we have come across individuals that fit the profile of the song Psycho by Puddle of Mudd. Who knows, it could even be the person that looks back at us in the mirror :o)
Lyrics:
[Said twice]
Maybe I'm the one
Maybe I'm the one who is the schizophrenic psycho (yeah)
[Verse 1]
She lays down on the fresh lawn
She can make everything magical
But she tied one on big time
And it makes me wanna rewind
To back in the days when we were young
When everything was like a loaded gun
Ready to go off at any minute
And you know we're gonna win again (yeah)
[x3][Chorus]
Maybe I'm the one
Maybe I'm the one who is the schizophrenic psycho (yeah)
Maybe I'm the one
Maybe I'm the one who is the paranoid flake-o
[Verse 2]
She lays down on the sidewalk
Never very analytical
She is something simply beautiful
Re-appear when you feel magical
To back in the days when we were young
When everything was like a loaded gun
Ready to go off at any minute
Yeah you know we're gonna win again
[Chorus]
Maybe I'm the one
Maybe I'm the one who is the schizophrenic psycho (yeah)
Maybe I'm the one
Maybe I'm the one who is the paranoid flake-o
[Said 3 times]
You're the one, You're the one who is the schizophrenic psycho
Back in the days when we were young
When everything was like a loaded gun
Ready to go off at any minute
And you know we're gonna win again
[Chorus]
Maybe I'm the one
Maybe I'm the one who is the schizophrenic psycho (yeah)
Maybe I'm the one
Maybe I'm the one who is the paranoid flake-o
[Said 3 times]
You're the one
You're the one who is the schizophrenic psycho [yeah]
Schizophrenic psycho YEAH!
I remember the first time I heard this song on the radio and laughing because someone definitely sprang to mind! Finding out that you thought the same thing made it even funnier. LOL I love the phrase "paranoid flake-o" and love this song!
ReplyDeleteHm, looks like we might have to get that CD.

Cool you put PUM on your journal! I love them and it seems not alot of people are familiar with them.
ReplyDeleteI know psychos well - I married one, certifiable no less. Not this marriage, my first.
Good luck.
Um... yes, I know a few people who fit this M.O., unfortunately. Good post!
ReplyDeleteHi Ken,
ReplyDeleteWell, yeah, I work in Hollywood where it's sort of like we "swing a cat, hit a psycho" every day. But it's a far scarier -- and more sobering -- thought that you should come across a "psycho" personality at a nuclear power plant. Please tell me the Psycho-in-Question isn't in any position where we'd need to worry if he or she gets a bit -- what's the word I'm looking for -- explosive?
Best,
Marty
Like Marty said, very sobering thought running into someone like that at a nuclear power plant - wow! Glad they (pun intended) are not there anymore!

i'd say that 98% of all of my coworkers are insane. Scary stuff. Sorry to hear you have to also deal with such nonsense.
ReplyDeleteThere is a thin line between genius and insanity a professor once told our class.
ReplyDeleteI think they are everywhere from what I have seen..
It's much more common than you think. And, ususally, they are verrry intelligent.
ReplyDeleteAs you well know, I've had my share of run-ins..
ReplyDeleteI remember Puddle of Mud when they first came out. I had their original Cd. As life goes that was sold with most of my music collection when I went deaf. Thanks for the reminder of how much I enjoyed them. (Hugs)Indigo
Great journal........scarry too.

I wonder how many politicians are going to lose their job the next election because they are prolonging the problem lol

I could write a book about some of the people I have run across over the years that fit this entry. Made me laugh out loud.
