    Re: A Thread for Random Musings

     

    I have a real chip on my shoulder and am pissed off, and this says it pretty well - my current theme song:

     

    We'll be fighting in the streets

    With our children at our feet

    And the morals that they worship will be gone

    And the men who spurred us on

    Sit in judgement of our wrongs

    They decide and the shotgun sings the song

     

    I tip my hat to the new constitution

    Take a bow for the new revolution

    Smile and grin at the change all around

    Pick up my guitar and play

    Just like yesterday

    Then I'll get on my knees and pray

    We don't get fooled again

     

    The change, it had to come

    We knew it all along

    We were liberated from the foe, that's all

    And the world looks just the same

    And history ain't changed

    'Cause the banners, they'd all flown in the last war

     

    I tip my hat to the new constitution

    Take a bow for the new revolution

    Smile and grin at the change all around

    Pick up my guitar and play

    Just like yesterday

    Then I'll get on my knees and pray

    We don't get fooled again

    No, no!

     

    I'll move myself and my family aside

    If we happen to be left half alive

    I'll get all my papers and smile at the sky

    For I know that the hypnotized never lie

    Do ya?

     

    Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

     

    There's nothing in the street

    Looks any different to me

    And the slogans are replaced, by-the-by

    And the party on the left

    Is now the party on the right

    And their beards have all grown longer overnight

     

    I tip my hat to the new constitution

    Take a bow for the new revolution

    Smile and grin at the change all around

    Pick up my guitar and play

    Just like yesterday

    Then I'll get on my knees and pray

    We don't get fooled again

    Don't get fooled again

    No, no!

     

    Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

     

    Meet the new boss

    Same as the old boss

    Argggggh. I completely forgot about it. How was it?

     

    I spent the entire day cleaning and reading with a nice mix of background music (which was an entertaining mix of War of the Worlds, Alan Parsons Project, Spyro Gyro, Pat Metheny, Run DMC, Peter Gabriel Genesis and Cober, a Seattle Band).

    Wow - lot of good music listed there, although I've never listened to Run DMC or Cober.

     

    War of the Worlds - the other Moody Blues album.

    I'm looking forward to daylight savings.

     

     

    I still think that in the spring, instead of moving the clock ahead an hour, we should move it back 23. That would give us one great big Sunday. Then, in the fall, we would move it up 23, and it would be Tuesday in no time, eliminating a dreaded Monday.

     

    I'm sure we could also do something about that pesky leap year at the same time . . .

    Re: A Thread for Random Musings

     

    I’ve been thinking about our fortune

    And I’ve decided that we’re really not to blame

    For the love that’s deep inside us now

    Is still the same

     

    And the sounds we make together

    Is the music to the story in your eyes

    It’s been shining down upon me now

    I realize

     

    Listen to the tide slowly turning

    Wash all our heartaches away

    We’re part of the fire that is burning

    And from the ashes we can build another day

     

    But I’m frightened for your children

    That the life that we are living is in vain

    And the sunshine we’ve been waiting for

    Will turn to rain

     

    When the final line is over

    It’s certain that the curtain’s gonna fall

    I can hide inside your sweet sweet love

    For ever more

    Re: The cranky thread

     

    I hate skunks.

     

    0300, the dogs want out.

     

    Open the door, and 2.5 feet away, is a skunk eating the cat food.

     

    of course the dogs rolled in the laundry pile before I could get them into the shower...

     

    6 washings later, with everything but the kitchen sink...

    I hear ya! Oooohhhh, what a stench!

     

    When I was a kid, my cousins and I saw a guy walking a skunk on a leash. We were fascinated - we had never seen such a thing. We went and talked to him - all of us from a distance except Mike, who always had more balls than brains - and the guy said the skunk was de-scented, and couldn't spray any more. My cousin asked if he could pet it, the guy said, sure go ahead, nothing can go wrong.

     

    That skunk sprayed Mike so bad, it was unbelievable. If you never smelled a skunk's spray, you have no concept of how powerful a stench it really is. Horrid, just horrid. He had to bury his clothes and wash himself with tomato juice before his dad would let him in the house.

     

    Good luck, man. And hopefully your dogs will know to go the other direction next time!

    Well, I warned another poster that when you dwell on the negative, it'll bite you in the ass.

     

    I should've listened to my own advice.

     

    The fun in the zealot thread turned quickly to darkness. The negativity has rubbed off on me, and I must go scour my brain. See y'all in a while.

    Sounds like bread is a gamers most dangerous food!

     

    Have you ever gone barefoot and had something stick to the bottom of your foot? Natural reaction is to wipe it off on the top of teh other foot. I did that once, and it turned out that the object stuck to my foot was glass, and when I did the brush-off, it slice down into one foot and up into the other! No fun!

     

    And once when I was waiting for a girl to call me, the phone rang. I was excated and ran full tilt to get the phone. I stubbed my toe going through a doorway, right where a panelling nail was sticking out, and it ripped my big toenail right off. I didn't answer the phone.

    Re: A Thread for Random Musings

     

    I like seeing song lyrics here. They often spark fond memories. Here's an obscure tune I always liked:

     

    In a sheltered place where I viewed the world

    And all that it contained

    I would see your face in a misty haze

    And wish that you were there

    Yes I wished that you were there

    Darling Fool, I was with you all the way

    Be as the flower that unfolds with each day

     

    Trust your place in time though you have won and lost

    How very much like me you are

    When you come to me

    Truly, truly trust your heart

    Truly, oh truly trust your heart

     

    Why bear malice just let it go

    So what of pride it will swallow you whole

    Here's to the judge, to the tyrant, and the beast

    You keep a knockin' but you can't come in

    Truly, truly trust your heart

    Truly, truly trust your heart

     

    The moonlight of your soul, fond memories to unfold

    Of the days when we were young

    Of the love we'd forever hold

    Truly, truly trust your heart

    Truly, truly trust your heart

     

    I bring thunder, lightning and rain

    For those who administer injustice and pain

    Comfort the weak and feed the poor

    What on earth do we need government for?

    Truly, truly trust your heart

    Truly, oh truly trust your heart

    I'm typing with my bad hand that has been acting up. Today something in it cracked like a gunshot, and went through me like an icicle. But apparently, it was something going back in place, because it's moving better, and although it still hurts, it's more like a healing ache than a constant don't-do-that twinge.

     

    The big test will be playing tomorrow in rehearsal.
