If I ever find myself in a jet-black Lamborghini flying through the German highway system at absurd speeds, dodging through traffic like its my job; my knuckles white and my fingers slipping slightly on the smooth black steering wheel; my head being pushed farther and farther back into that luscious leather headrest; and, in the spirit of P.J. O’Rourke, a bottle of Chivas and a lovely lady at my fingertips, well, this is what would be blasting out of my crazy, bass-heavy Lambo speakers…

Nightmares. Can’t sleep…..

An excerpt from Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein:

“I slept indeed, but I was disturbed by the wildest dreams. I thought I saw Elizabeth, in the bloom of health, walking in the streets of Ingolstadt. Delighted and surprised; I embraced her, but as I imprinted the first kiss on her lips, they became livid with the hue of death; her features appeared to change, and I thought that i held the corpse of my dead mother in my arms; a shroud enveloped her form, and I saw the grave-worms crawling in the folds of the flannel.

“I started from my sleep with horror; a cold dew covered my forehead, my teeth chattered, and every limb became convulsed; when, by the dim and yellow light of the moon, as it forced its way through the window shutters, I beheld the wretch-the miserable monster whom I had created.”

Broken glasses, slicing open your palm. Computers beeping at you, demanding another kiddie meal. The cubicle, 9am, Monday morning. And, of course, the boss. He who controls your life for 40 hours a week. Work has a tendency to suck. But if there’s one thing to take away from this playlist, it’s that there are worse things in the world than having a really lame job…
