Deadline

I F**king hate my endless workloadsss! Bloody deadlines! Period.

The word deadline first appeared as an American coinage that referred to the line around a military prison beyond which soldiers were authorized to shoot escaping prisoners.

According to Lossing's History of the Civil War (1868):
"Seventeen feet from the inner stockade was the 'dead-line', over which no man could pass and live."

This use is also found in Congressional records as early as 1864:
"The 'dead line', beyond which the prisoners are not allowed to pass."

Sitting, Waiting, Wishing - Jack Johnson

Just felt like reviving an old favorite.

Awesome artist that each time i hear him sing, life gets less bitchy. Heh.


Well I was sitting, waiting, wishing 
You believed in superstitions 
Then maybe you'd see the signs  

The Lord knows that this world is cruel 
I ain't the Lord, no I'm just a fool 
Learning lovin' somebody don't make them love you  

Must I always be waiting, waiting on you 
Must I always be playing, playing your fool  
I sang your songs, I danced your dance I gave your friends all a chance 
But putting up with them Wasn't worth never having you  

Maybe you've been through this before 
But it's my first time so please ignore 
The next few lines cause they're directed at you  

I can't always be waiting, waiting on you 
I can't always be playing, playing your fool  
I keep playing your part 
But it's not my scene 
Want this plot to twist 
I've had enough mystery 
Keep building it up 
Then shooting me down 
But I'm already down  

Just wait a minute 
Just sitting, waiting 
Just wait a minute 
Just sitting, waiting  

Well, if I was in your position 
I'd put down all my ammunition 
I'd wonder why'd it taken me so long  

But Lord knows that I'm not you 
And if I was, I wouldn't be so cruel 
Cause waitin' on love aint so easy to do  

Must I always be waiting, waiting on you 
Must I always be playing, playing your fool  
No, I can't I always be waiting, waiting on you 
I can't always be playing, playing your fool
