The leg wound is healing. It still doesn't look pretty, but it's not much trouble. People are always asking me about it. It gets me a lot of sympathy. It hasn't really had any adverse effects on me though. It hasn't interfered with my social or occupational functioning.
I'm listening to Johnny Cash. I like his new song "
God's Gonna Cut You Down." It was on my ipod yesterday while I was running and by doubling the beat, I could exactly keep pace with it at 9 miles per hour. But not for long. So I guess the lyric "You can run on for a long time," while inspiring to hear when I'm running, isn't precisely true.
You can run on for a long time,
Run on for a long time,
Run on for a long time,
Sooner, or later, God'll cut you down.
Sooner, or later, God'll cut you down.
Go and tell that long tongue liar,
Go and tell that midnight rider,
Tell the rambler, the gambler, the back biter,
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down.
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down.
Well my goodness gracious,
Let me tell you the news.
My head's been wet with the midnight dew.
I've been down on bended knee,
Talkin' to the man from Galiee.
He spoke to me in a voice so sweet,
I thought I heard the shuffle of angels' feet.
He called my name and my heart stood still,
When He said "John go do my will."
Go and tell that long tongue liar,
Go and tell that midnight rider,
Tell the rambler, the gambler, the back biter,
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down.
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down.
You can run on for a long time,
Run on for a long time,
Run on for a long time,
Sooner, or later, God'll cut you down.
Sooner, or later, God'll cut you down.
You may throw your rock, hide your hand,
Workin' in the dark against your fellow man.
But as sure as God made black and white,
What's done in the dark,
Will be brought to the light.
You can run on for a long time,
Run on for a long time,
Run on for a long time,
Sooner, or later, God'll cut you down.
Sooner, or later, God'll cut you down.
Go and tell that long tongue liar,
Go and tell that midnight rider,
Tell the rambler, the gambler, the back biter,
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut you down,
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut you down,
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut you down.
I also think it's an impressive feat to come back from the grave and make an awesome record. I feel like not a lot of people are talking about how odd that is. I think Johnny Cash, Tupac, and Bob Marley should make a record together now. It would be like a "Back From the Dead" tour.
