Until you've been beside a man You don't know what he wants You don't know if he cries at night You don't know if he don't Where nothing comes easy, old nightmares are real Until you've been beside a man You don't know how he feels Once inside a woman's heart A man must keep his head Heaven opens up the door Where angels fear to tread Some men go crazy, some men go slow Some men go just where they want Some men never go Oh, blame it on midnight Ooh, shame on the moon Everywhere is all around Comfort in the crowd Stranger's faces all round Laughing right out loud Hey, watch where you're goin' Step light on old toes Until you've been beside a man You don't know who he knows Oh, blame it on midnight Ooh, shame on the moon Oh, blame it on midnight Ooh, shame on the moon Blame it on midnight You can blame it on midnight Shame, shame, shame, shame on the moon Blame it on midnight Shame on the moon

One of the things that drew me to SPI's DragonQuest was the fact that characters don't get harder to kill. They get better at killing things before they get killed.

Because the gods say so?

Trese held a bottle of water out to Jason. When he accepted it, she hoist herself up on a desk. They looked out over the broken cityscape in silence. “Tomorrow is the day,” Trese finally said. “Yes.” “It's a crap shoot with long odds.” Jason nodded. “Aren't you afraid of dying?” Jason's chin sank. “No.” Cocking her head to the side, Trese smiled. For a second Jason could imagine that her face wasn't scarred. That she was as beautiful as she had always been to him. “Then what are you afraid of?” She reached over and took his hand. He gave it willingly. “Of not dying.” “I don't understand.” Walking quietly up behind them, Kris crossed her arms and leaned on Jason's shoulders. His hand came up and held her arm. Kris reached down and lay her hand over Jason's and Trese's. “Survivor's guilt. He's afraid everyone else will die and he'll be the only one left.”

When policemen break the law, then there isn't any law - just a fight for survival.

The marchin' band came down along Main Street The soldier blues fell in behind I looked across and there I saw Billy Waiting to go and join the line And with her head upon his shoulder His young and lovely fiancee From where I stood I saw she was cryin' And through her tears I heard her say Billy, don't be a hero, don't be a fool with your life Billy, don't be a hero, come back and make me your wife And as he started to go she said, Billy, keep your head low Billy, don't be a hero, come back to me The soldier blues were trapped on a hillside The battle raging all around The sergeant cried, We've got to hang on, boys! We've got to hold this piece of ground I need a volunteer to ride up And bring us back some extra men And Billy's hand was up in a moment Forgettin' all the words she said She said Billy, don't be a hero, don't be a fool with your life Billy, don't be a hero, come back and make me your wife And as he started to go she said, Billy, keep your head low Billy, don't be a hero, come back to me I heard his fiancee got a letter That told how Billy died that day The letter said that he was a hero She should be proud he died that way I heard she threw that letter away ...

My daddy was a cop on the east side of Chicago Back in the U.S.A. back in the bad old days In the heat of a summer night In the land of the dollar bill When the town of Chicago died And they talk about it still When a man named Al Capone Tried to make that town his own And he called his gang to war With the forces of the law I heard my mama cry I heard her pray the night Chicago died Brother what a night it really was Brother what a fight it really was Glory be! I heard my mama cry I heard her pray the night Chicago died Brother what a night the people saw Brother what a fight the people saw Yes indeed! And the sound of the battle rang Through the streets of the old east side 'Til the last of the hoodlum gang Had surrendered up or died There was shouting in the street And the sound of running feet And I asked someone who said "'Bout a hundred cops are dead!" I heard my mama cry I heard her pray the night Chicago died Brother what a night it really was Brother what a fight it really was Glory be! I heard my mama cry I heard her pray the night Chicago died Brother what a night the people saw Brother what a fight the people saw Yes indeed! And ther was no sound at all But the clock upon the wall Then the door burst open wide And my daddy stepped inside And he kissed my mama's face And he brushed her tears away The night Chicago died Na-na na, na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na The night Chicago died Brother what a night the people saw Brother what a fight the people saw Yes indeed! The night Chicago died Na-na na, na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na The night Chicago died Brother what a night it really was Brother what a fight it really was Glory be! The night Chicago died Na-na na, na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na The night Chicago died Brother what a night the people saw Brother what a fight the people saw Yes indeed!

Just found out she died last month.

“It is nice to see how the mighty can still be brought low by the many.” Nightwing heaved himself to his feet. He stepped over a body. “Still, you weren't supposed to be here. You weren't supposed to be involved at all.” Between a shattered lens, an eye rapidly swelling shut, and blood, it was hard for Nightwing to make out details. “Who are you?” “Merely a facilitator. A middle man. I am afraid with your involvement that you have sacrificed your prize. As fast as you can fly, I doubt you are fast enough.” The gun in his hand barked in succession. Hand outstretched towards the gun, Nightwing yelled, “No!” “He may not be,” Lightning dropped several bullets, “but I am. There's a saying, you take on one Guardian, sooner or later, you take on all of us.” The skylight shattered and Pulsar dropped through. “You missed one.” “Non-fatal and I knew you were coming,” Lightning said. “So, Mr. Facilitator, let's do this the hard way.” Lightning moved. The gun barked once and then was spinning in place on the desk. “Cops on?” He tossed the man across the desk, bound. Pulsar picked up the gun. “Let's not have him thinking he'll have any options. Bressler is enroute.” He walked over to Steph. “Hi.” “Oh, god, it hurts,” she said quietly. “Only for a moment, Miss Michaels. Only for a moment.”

Men, for the most part can mend their ways only after they have made a mistake.

They talked about the Avengers.

I was sitting all alone Watching people getting off with each other They were dancing 'cross the floor Turning movement back and forth, they were lovers One more lonely night for me I looked up, what did I see? Sexy eyes, moving 'cross the floor Couldn't want for more, sexy eyes Sexy eyes, getting down with you I wanna move with you, sexy eyes I got up and took your hand And we both began to dance to the music Ooh, your magic cast a spell It didn't take long 'til we fell and we knew it No more lonely nights for me This is how it's gonna be Sexy eyes, moving 'cross the floor Couldn't want for more, sexy eyes Sexy eyes, getting down with you I wanna move with you, sexy eyes No more lonely nights for me This is how it's gonna be Sexy eyes, moving 'cross the floor Couldn't want for more, sexy eyes Sexy eyes, getting down with you I wanna move with you, sexy eyes Ooh, sexy eyes, getting down with you I wanna move with you, sexy eyes Sexy eyes, getting down with you I wanna move with you, sexy eyes

Closing the book he had been reading, Jason watched Marlene lay their daughter down. She talked quietly to the babe and covered her with a blanket. Marlene came over, sat on the bed, slipped her shoes off, and slid under the covers with her back to Jason. He set the book on the floor of the tent. Turning back, he asked, “Something wrong?” “I'm mad at you.” He heard the teasing tone in his wife's voice. Moving closer, his arm went over her. “What did I do this time?” Rolling on her back, Marlene said, “You gave the first drawing you did of our daughter to Kate.” Jason smiled and kissed her. Accepting initially, Marlene put her fingers on Jason's mouth. “You aren't kissing your way out of this one.” “You're wrong,” he said. “I gave Kate a drawing of Aaron and Sandy together. The first several that I did I gave to you.” “Then why haven't I seen them?” “Take it up with Beth,” Jason told her. “Don't drag me into this,” Beth said through the wall of the tent. “Trying to sleep here.” “Get over here, Bestie,” Marlene demanded with a laugh. Beth groaned. A moment later she came around the divider. “What did I do?” Beth wore a thin t-shirt and shorts, leaving very little of her to Jason's imagination. Patting the bed, Marlene invited Beth to sit. She did. “Jason's drawings of Sandy. Where are they?” “How should I... I never gave you your book.” Beth looked hurt. “I'm sorry. It slipped my mind with you coming back.” “What book?” “Emily convinced Jason to do an art show while you were away. He had books printed. He did sketches for them.” Marlene smiled. “What was yours?” “You and me,” Beth smiled back. “What did you do with that one of me in blue?” she asked Jason. “Gave it to your dad. Framed.” “Can I go back to bed now?” she asked Marlene. Marlene sat up and hugged her. “I guess so.”

Sprawling on the fringes of the city In geometric order An insulated border In-between the bright lights And the far, unlit unknown Growing up, it all seems so one-sided Opinions all provided The future pre-decided Detached and subdivided In the mass-production zone Nowhere is the dreamer Or the misfit so alone Subdivisions In the high school halls In the shopping malls Conform or be cast out Subdivisions In the basement bars In the backs of cars Be cool or be cast out Any escape might help to smooth The unattractive truth But the suburbs have no charms to soothe The restless dreams of youth Drawn like moths, we drift into the city The timeless old attraction Cruising for the action Lit up like a firefly Just to feel the living night Some will sell their dreams for small desires Or lose the race to rats Get caught in ticking traps And start to dream of somewhere To relax their restless flight Somewhere out of a memory Of lighted streets on quiet nights Subdivisions In the high school halls In the shopping malls Conform or be cast out Subdivisions In the basement bars In the backs of cars Be cool or be cast out Any escape might help to smooth The unattractive truth But the suburbs have no charms to soothe The restless dreams of youth

Are V rolls as good as egg rolls?

That seems to be an ongoing thing lately with board downloads.

Giving me supervillain vibes.

You held my hand and then you slipped away And I may never see your face again So tell me how to fill the emptiness inside Without love, what is life? And anyone who knew us both can see We always were the better part of me I never wanted to be this free And all this pain, when does it go away? Then every time I turn around And you're nowhere to be found I know I gotta long long way to go Before I can say goodbye to you Oh, I gotta long long way I know Before I can say goodbye To all I ever knew, to you To you From memory there is no hiding place Turn on the TV and I see you there In every crowd there's always someone with your face Everywhere, trying not to care Then every time I turn around And you're nowhere to be found I know I gotta long long way to go Before I can say goodbye to you I gotta long long way I know Before I can say goodbye To all I ever knew To you I wish you everything And all the best that life can bring I only hope you think of me sometimes Oh, and even though I feel the pain I know that I will love again The time will come Oh, and I'll move on I gotta long long way to go Before I can say goodbye to you Oh, I gotta long long way I know Gotta long way to go Before I can say goodbye Before I say goodbye To all I ever knew To all I ever knew I gotta long way to go Before I say Say goodbye, say goodbye But I wish you the best girl Oh and all of the rest to you
