The world seems to be closing in tighter and tighter. If I did not have reasons to not leave, such as a sister and brother, nieces and nephews, I might actually run away to some far distant land ... such as a distant shore, and make like an apeman.

The world seems to be closing in tighter and tighter. If I did not have reasons to not leave, such as a sister and brother, nieces and nephews, I might actually run away to some far distant land ... such as a distant shore, and make like an Apeman.

I could get away from the the motor-traffic rumble and the over-population, inflation and starvation ... And the crazy politicians.

Around all of us everybody is multiplying and they're walking round like flies man.

And maybe I'm no better than the animals sitting
In the cages in the zoo man

Cause compared to the flowers and the birds and the trees
I am an apeman.

I would be a King Kong man, a voodoo man. Why?

Cause compared to the sun that sits in the sky,
Compared to the clouds as they roll by,
Compared to the bugs and the spiders and flies, I am an apeman.

And stateside I feel like when I look out my window I can't see the sky. The air pollution is a-f*cking up my eyes,

But I want to get out of this city alive and make like an apeman.

On top of that, I don't feel safe in this world no more. And I am sure we all feel the same, we don't want to die in a nuclear war.

And yes, it's true I would love to have my apeman girl ... We would be so happy in our apeman world... I would be her Tarzan, she would be my Jane

I would keep her warm and she'd keep me sane,
We would sit in the trees and eat bananas all day, just like an apemen.

We could feel so at ease
We would swing up and down in the coconut trees.
Oh what a life of luxury to be like an apeman.

I think I'm sophisticated 'cause I'm living my life
Like a good homo sapiens
But all around me everybody's multiplying and
They're walking round like flies man
So I'm no better than the animals sitting
In the cages in the zoo man
Cause compared to the flowers and the birds and the trees
I am an apeman.

I think I'm so educated and I'm so civilized
'Cause I'm a strict vegetarian
But with the over-population and inflation and starvation
And the crazy politicians
I don't feel safe in this world no more,
I don't want to die in a nuclear war.
I want to sail away to a distant shore and make like an apeman.

I'm an apeman, I'm an ape, apeman, oh I'm an apeman
I'm a King Kong man, I'm a voodoo man, oh I'm an apeman
Cause compared to the sun that sits in the sky,
Compared to the clouds as they roll by,
Compared to the bugs and the spiders and flies I am an apeman.

In man's evolution he's created the city
And the motor-traffic rumble.
But give me half a chance and I'd be taking off my clothes
And living in the jungle.
Cause the only time that I feel at ease
Is swinging up and down in the coconut trees.
Oh what a life of luxury to be like an apeman.

I'm an apeman, I'm an ape, apeman, oh I'm an apeman
I'm a King Kong man, I'm a voodoo man, oh I'm an apeman

I look out the window but I can't see the sky,
The air pollution is a-f**king up my eyes,
I want to get out of this city alive and make like an apeman.

Oh come on and love me, be my apeman girl
And we'll be so happy in my apeman world.

I'm an apeman, I'm an ape, apeman, oh I'm an apeman
I'm a King Kong man, I'm a voodoo man, oh I'm an apeman
I'll be your Tarzan, you'll be my Jane,
I'll keep you warm and you'll keep me sane,
We'll sit in the trees and eat bananas all day, just like an apeman.

I'm an apeman, I'm an ape, apeman, oh I'm an apeman
I'm a King Kong man, I'm a voodoo man, oh I'm an apeman
I don't feel safe in this world no more,
I don't want to die in a nuclear war.
I want to sail away to a distant shore and make like an apeman ...

I am a dull and simple lad
Cannot tell water from champagne
And I have never met the Queen
And I wish I could have all that he has got

I Graduated Cum Laude with a BA in Economics from Colorado College in 1976. I never did anything with the Economics degree. After being a software engineer for an airline and programming in BAL/assembler language on an IBM 370 computer for 5 years, I was hired on as an airline pilot. I had had previous flying experience including flying DC-8s for Egypt Air. I lived in Cairo for 6 months at the time. One of the highlights of my time in Cairo was a Grateful Dead concert in 1978 with the stage being set right next to the Sphinx with soft lights softly lighting it up. In the background were the pyramids that were nicely lit up as well. The concert was really special, in part because overhead, a total lunar eclipse took place from start to finish . There are videos online. Just search on "Grateful Dead Cairo." Look at "Images" to see photos of the eclipse.


I have thousands of hours flying all of the Boeings from the B737 through the B747-400. That includes both the B757 and the B767, the planes they say were involved in the false flag attacks on 9/11.

I went on medical leave in 2007 for depression and never got back to flying again. After being put on a number of different SSRI antidepressants that did little to nothing, I was put on Adderall; the best antidepressant for me by far. My depression is long gone.

So here I sit with lyrics and music from a Kinks' song playing in my head, "I Wish I Could be Like David Watts." :)
