It comes apart, the way it does in bad films

This is post 100 in the brief history of Airportline. It started with an aim, somewhere in January. Now we're in May and confusion is all around my presence. It's been a hard couple of nights with visitors, dancing, walking, floorballing, windmill brouwrij drinking and other demoralizing activities. And now Monday is here, and it really feels like Monday, in one of those 'reality is slapping me in the face' kind of way. And I'm listening to Franz Ferdinands cover of LCD Soundsystems All My Friends, and I realize there are few better songs for exactly this moment:
You spent the first five years trying to get with the plan,
and the next five years trying to be with your friends again.
You're talking 45 turns just as fast as you can,
yeah, I know it gets tired, but it's better when we pretend.
It comes apart,
the way it does in bad films.
Except in parts,
when the moral kicks in.
Though when we're running out of the drugs
and the conversation's winding away.
I wouldn't trade one stupid decision
for another five years of lies.
