15 step - Track 1

How come I end up where I started
How come I end up where I went wrong
Won't take my eyes off the ball again
You reel me out then you cut the string

How come I end up where I started
How come I end up where I went wrong
Won't take my eyes off the ball again
First you reel me out then you cut the string

You used to be alright
What happened?
Did the cat get your tongue
Did your string come undone
One by one
One by one
It comes to us all
It's as soft as your pillow

You used to be alright
What happened?
Etcetera etcetera
Fads for whatever
Fifteen steps
Then a shear drop

How come I end up where I started
How come I end up where I went wrong
Won't take my eyes off the ball again
You reel me out then you cut the string

Lyrics:
Yeah, drive me crazy wow
They say oh here we go again
Aye X heh, I said we'll never be the same
I wonder if I left my stereo
Would you care to let me go
Or would you keep me shackled in your chains
I know the game is missing heroes
And I started here from zeros
To the season where I came to obtain
See my aim is simple
I have laid it on your instrumentals
So it's no coincidence I'm in the game
I plotted, planned it for a year or so
Hoping folks hear the low
And see I'm not the same as Lil Wayne
They say I bond with the spiritual
But hollar if you hear me though
My life is more than rims and getting brains
They say I bond with the spiritual
Yeah, they never let me go
Until it's time for me to board a plane
I know the fortune and the fame
And the performing for the change
And paying for important poison in my brain
And mary jane they keep me miserable
And if I'm singing miracles
When all you do is bitch and you complain
Bout how you wish you were this way
And your boat was bigger that way
I would funk you this and that way till you came
See the way I feel about you
Is like nothing left without you
But I doubt you think it's nothing more than game
But the game is lame
And the fame ain't special
Since I met you I have nothing more to gain
Except your love
And harmony
Who's to say that I just can't give you what all you need
Just relax your mind
And relax some time
To harmony

2011-05-08T10:22:00.005-04:00

Tell me a line make it easy for me
Open your arms
Dance with me until I feel all right
It's good in the dark, good in the dark
But into the lover's light
Here comes another fight

So ring the alarm, ring the alarm
Bar me and hold me and cling to my arm
Here it comes, here it comes

And what you're asking me now, disastrous now
Hoping and hoping and hoping
The feeling goes away

Never change, never change, never change, never change
Never change, never change, never change
This is why I fell in love oooh

Never change, never change, never change, never change
Never change, never change, never change
That's just too up there in love with
(in loveeeee ...)

This is the time the very best time
So give me a line and take me hoooome
Take me oveeeer

But dashing the hopes dashing the hopes
And smashing anekatips the pride
The morning's got you on the ropes .. ooh

And love is a murderer , love is a murderer
But if she calls you tonight
Everything is all right
Yeah, we knoooooow
And love is a curse shoved in a hearse
Love is an open book to a verse of your bad poetry
And this is coming from me

But I can change, I can change, I can change, I can change
I can change, I can change, I can change
If it helps you fall in love
(fall in looove)
(repeat)

Turn on the light make it easy for me
Fill the divide fumble in the kitchen
til it's right
What an awful sight

But there's love in your eyes
Love in your eyes , love in your eyes
But maybe that's just what your lover finds
All niiiiiight!

But I can change, I can change, I can change, I can change
I can change, I can change, I can change
If it helps you fall in love
(fall in looove)
(repeat)

My life according to chess

2011-05-05T22:23:00.002-04:00

My life according chess:

- The most insignificant pieces in the battle have the greatest importance.

- Your opening has a huge impact on your closing.

- Sometimes you must sacrifice valuable pieces for good position.

- Losing points doesn’t mean you have lost the game.

- Placing yourself in a defensive position also means you have blocked yourself in.

- Driving the initiative is better than being responsive.

- You have to lose, a lot, to those better than you in order to improve.

- Always assume your opponent is better than you.

- It only takes one mistake to turn a brilliant plan into a foolish choice.

- Thinking 8 moves ahead is only good if you were right about the first move.

Hello
I've waited here for you
Everlong

Tonight
I throw myself into
And out of the red, out of her head she sang

Come down
And waste away with me
Down with me

Slow how
You wanted it to be
I'm over my head, out of her head she sang

And I wonder
When I sing along with you
If everything could ever feel this real forever
If anything could ever be this good again

The only thing I'll ever ask of you
You've got to promise not to stop when I say when
She sang

Breathe out
So I could breathe you in
Hold you in

And now
I know you've always been
Out of your head, out of my head I sang

And I wonder
When I sing along with you
If everything could ever feel this real forever
If anything could ever be this good again

The only thing I'll ever ask of you
You've got to promise not to stop when I say when
She sang

And I wonder
If everything could ever feel this real forever
If anything could ever be this good again

The only thing I'll ever ask of you
You've got to promise not to stop when I say when

2011-05-04T19:24:00.003-04:00

They knew all along
They're not dumb, they were so wrong
She's not always fun
Hate it now, call when I'm done

Pieces fell in place
Puzzles suck, laughin my face
Turn and swing the pace
I'll give this, keep the good waist

Head is on
I want out
I'm alone and I'm an easy target
Metronome
I want out
I'm alone and I'm an easy target

Crazy t.v. dreams might be true
Not what it seems.
Food and cavitys, chewing words
Tear at the seams
He don't feel so good, don't feel bad
Not that he should
I don't feel so good, don't feel bad
Not that I should

Did you ever listen? get out.

Stop, the train is ridin down to the station
where you lived when we were school kids
Hey, the rails are caught now
And I am falling down fools in a spiral
Round this town of steam

My Body tells me no, but I won't quit
Cause I want more, cause I want more
My Body tells me no, but I won't quit
Cause I want more, cause I want more

Stop the train is riding down to the station where I lived
When I was a cool kid
Hey, is it my fault that the fallen embers burn down in a spiral
Round your crown of thieves

My Body tells me no, but I won't quit
cause I want more, cause I want more
My Body tells me no, but I won't quit
cause I want more, cause I want more
And it rides out of town

Oh, it's my road, it's my road, it's my road
It's my road, it's my road, iIt's my road

And it's my war, It's my war, it's my war
It's my war
His eyes are open
His eyes are open

Oh, cause I want more, I want more
Want more
His eyes are open
His eyes are open

(Hey, hey, hey)

My body tells me no but I won't quit
Cause I want more, cause I want more
My body tells me no but I wont quit
Cause I want more cause I want more
It rides out of town

Florence + The Machine - Dog Days Are Over (2010 Version)

2011-04-26T01:05:00.004-04:00

Happiness, hit her like a train on a track
Coming towards her, stuck still no turning back
She hid around corners and she hid under beds
She killed it with kisses and from it she fled
With every bubble she sank with a drink
And washed it away down the kitchen sink

The dog days are over
The dog days are done
The horses are coming so you better run

Run fast for your mother run fast for your father
Run for your children for your sisters and brothers
Leave all your love and your longing behind you
Can't carry it with you if you want to survive

The dog days are over
The dog days are done
Can you hear the horses
Cuz here they come

And I never wanted anything from you
Except everything you had
And what was left after that too. oh.

Happiness hit her like a bullet in the back
Struck from a great height
By someone who should know better than that

The dog days are over
The dog days are gone
Can you hear the horses
Cuz here they come

Run fast for your mother and fast for your father
Run for your children for your sisters and brothers
Leave all your love and your loving behind you
Can't carry it with you if you want to survive

The dog days are over
The dog days are gone
Can you hear the horses because here they come

The dog days are over
The dog days are gone
Can you hear the horses because here they come

You know it makes my heart beat
You know I'm happy up here

World, what you got for me?
Just bring it on
What's it gonna be?
Are you ready for it?

People, what you got for me?
Just bring it on
What's it gonna be?
I'm ready for it

You know I really like it
I know I'll always be here

Whatever you do, whatever you say
Nothing can push the feeling away
It's here in my heart and it's here in my head
I feel like I'm part of a book I've read

And every page and every paper
Seems to be part of human nature
Sending me back down on memory lane
My favorite record is playing again

You know I really like it
I know I'll always be here
You know it makes my heart beat

"Ms. Fat Booty"

I know, I can't afford to stop
for a moment.. that it's too soon.. to forget
I know, I can't afford to stop
for a moment.. that it's too soon.. to forget

[Mos Def - speaking over sung vocals]
Man.. for real
I was in love with this girl, y'know
I was.. to' up dog! I'm tellin you man
She was wild man.. f'real
It's just too.. let me tell you about her

[Mos Def]
Yo, in she came with the same type game
The type of girl givin out the fake cell phone and name
Big fame, she like cats with big thangs
Jewels chip, money clip, phone flip, the six range
I seen her on the ave, spotted her more than once
Ass so fat that you could see it from the front
She spot me like paparazzi; shot me a glance
in that catwoman stance with the fat booty pants, Hot damn!
What's your name love, where you came from?
Neck and wrist laced up, very little make-up
The swims at the Reebok gym tone your frame up
Is sugar and spice the only thing that you made of?
I tried to play it low key but couldn't keep it down
Asked her to dance she was like "Yo, I'm leavin now"
An hour later, sounds from Jamaica
She sippin Crys straight up, shakin, windin her waist up
Scene two: my fam throwin the jam
Fahreed is on the stand big things is in the plan
The brother Big Mu makes space for me to move in
Hey, this my man Mos, baby let me introduce; I turn around
Say word! You was the same pretty bird who I had priorly observed
tryin to play me for the herb (Yeah, that's her)
Shocked as hell she couldn't get it together
I just played it long and pretended I never met her
"How you feelin?" "Oh I'm fine." "My name is Mos." "I'm Sharice.
I heard so much good about you it's nice to finally meet."
We moved to the booth reserved for crew especially
And honey love ended up sittin directly next to me
I'm type polite but now I'm lookin at her skeptically
Cause baby girl got all the right weaponry
Designer fabric, shoes, and accessories
Chinky eyes, sweet voice is (fucking) with me mentally
We conversated, made a laugh, yeah you know me bro
Even though I know the steelo, she wild sweet yo
I'm bout to merc, I say peace to the family
She hop up like "How you gonna leave before you dance with me?"

[hook 2X - sung]
I know I can't afford this life
For a moment
That its too soon
To forget

[Mos continues speaking through sung hook]
She blew my whole head with that dude, I was like "What?"
I played it low though, I was like
"Yeah, aiight, c'mon then, let's go"
It's mad, the shit is so sick, I'm tell you
Yo, honey was so blazin, she was just..
Yo, she was like Jayne Kennedy, word bond
To my mother man, she was that ill man
She take me to the dance floor and she start whisperin to me

[Mos Def]
Yo, let me apologize for the other night
I know it wasn't right, but baby you know what its like
Some brothers don't be comin right
I understand, I'm feelin you
Beside, 'can I have a dance?' ain't really that original
We laughed about it, traced her arms across my shoulder blades
They playing lovers' rock, I got the folded fingers on her waist
He end my butt up like the Arizona summer song
Finished then she whisper 'honey, let's exchange numbers'
Scene three: weeks of datin late night conversation
In the crib heart racin, tryin to be cool and patient
She touched on my eyelids, the room fell silent
She walked away smilin singing Gregory Issacs
Like 'if I don't, if I don't, if I don't'
Showin me that tan line and that tattoo
Playin Sade, "Sweetest Taboo"
Burnin candles, all my other plans got canceled
Man I smashed it like an Idaho potato
She call my at my J.O., 'come now', I can't say no
Ginseng tree trunks, rockin the p-funk
Cocking her knees up, champion lover not ease up
Three months, she call 'I feel I'm runnin a fever'
Six months, I'm tellin her I desperately need her
Nine months, flu-like symptoms when shorty not around
I need more than to knock it down I'm really tryin to lock it down
Midnight we hook up and go at it
Burn a stogger, let her know, sweetheart I got to have it
She tellin me commitment is somethin she can't manage
Wake up the next morning, she gone like it was magic
Ahh damnit! This all Harrison Ford frantic
My 911 wasn't answered by my fly Taurus enchantress
Next week, who hit me up, I saw Sharice at the kitty club
With some banging ass Asian playin lay it down and lick me up
What!?

Swing - Camp Lo

2011-04-13T18:08:00.002-04:00

Ish:
Don't give me your swing
I got mines and that's the thing
Blahzay blahzay blahzay who name bell rings
Geechie:
Don't give me your swing
I got mine and that's the thing
Blahzay blahzay blahzay who names bell ring

Verse One: Geechie Suede

Now for the grab the stash(?)
To the alley Varner(?) any splash
Tryin not to crash
Swervin got the la-la on the dash
Getting bent up in the armored truck
stuck him for his glam
shit is candy yams
Now we movin on the ancient mans(?)
They using psycho vision
For the Valentino Gorabani(?)
Fuck Armani Butter
We above these climbs
Hiest the harbours
Word to godfathers getting bleed
Chasing on (?) down to Venice
Tellin sire bout my alley runnin ways
Thats how it was cus
Now they got us blammin at the fuzz
Its all gun and poses
on a bed of roses gettin shugged
wrap him in a rug
leave him on the roof till he stink
Hit the pool-hall
Fled the calico and watch him blink
Movin on Picaso
Painting my portraits and condos
Cuz when the Lo blows
Only the Lo knows who doe knows (hey hey)

Ish:
Don't give me your swing
I got mines and that's the thing
Blahzay blahzay blahzay who name bell ring
Geechie:
Don't give me your swing
I got mine and that's the thing
Blahzay blahzay blahzay who name bell ring

Verse Two: Ish
(check this)
I don't hate players, Im from the crown rhyme sayers
Whatever kid- sayers get down with no delaying
I play my cards shark style, kings and aces
Welcome to New York the illest of all places
I never bleed even through this plaza of greed
You got the rarest, true aint game in yo world
Not them Forrest Gump niggas with shades and S-curls (uh)
I tilt my crown fly I'm trying to angle you girl
The me and you alliance, is no doubt the fly science
We'll prosecute the phony star picks with our style
The million dollar necks word go head crack a smile
My name is Ish and that's something even in this tish
Of pimps, players, hustlers, and killahs and they wish
Your pretty to me, put in me in your frame
your complex attitude intrigue me...stronger than blow
you know, we can play the scenes like Pacino and Pfieffer
My queen'll shine on brinks three karats and brighter
Finesse in foreign fabrics crit seers(?) tighter
Them clown kids you dealt never belt
I came around swift and got felt
That champagne brand name style got melt
My man Killah Jules put me close to these jewels
thats dropped in the lesson sent to crush fools (crush em..peace)

Yo yo, Dont give me your swing
I got mines and thats the thing
Its not your swing
Its mines and thats the thing
So all that blahzay blahzay blahzay who name bell rings
All that blahzay blahzay blahzay who name bell rings

Don't Push - Sublime

2011-04-13T14:26:00.002-04:00

Stolen from an africa land
Chased out with a knife
With a face like Bob Marley and a mouth like a motor bike
Oh well the bars are always open and the time is always right
And if God's good word goes unspoken the music goes all night
And it goes...
If i was Bob Marley I said could you be loved
If I was half pint I'd ball the lord up above
If I was Mike Tyson I'd look for a fight
If I was a Boomtown Rats I would be stayin up all night
IF I was the king Ad-Rock i would get stupid dumb
If rhymes were valiums I'd be comfortably numb

If I had a shotgun, you know what I'd do,
I'd point that shit straight at the sky
and shoot heaven on down for you
Because the bars are always open, and the time is always right
And if God's good word goes unspoken, the music goes all night
And it goes...

I want a lover, I can't find the time
I want a reason, I can't find the rhyme
And I want to start some static, but I can't afford,
Just lay on the ground like I fell off my skateboard
Now a days as clear as you please, strap with protection or strap with disease.
Laughter, it's free any time just call me
439-0116 when your down with Sublime you get
funky fresh lyrics, you get nothin

Stolen from an africa land
Got chased out of the bar
I saw my best friend tonight so don't push me too far

I'm gonna run come down with the new lyrics,
get hit get hip don't slip you knuckle heads
Racism is schism on a serious tip
You don't believe me that I won't bust your lip.
I hear the mountain, It hard to climb
Ruffle the rhythm and it must be sublime
Listen yellow lover yeah it right on time
We got cricket with the quickness and the bass line

Go and raid the sound and tell the people the news oh, hey
tell them reggae music is on the loose
Here i am from the place where the sun keeps shine new style in a unique fashion
And good good vibes that keep on playin, playin

People wanna come up and they wanna tell me smokin crack cocaine better than sensi
You're pumpin' that shit yo we're sick of it
Teakin' every weekend and we just can't take it
we don't want plastic

Everything is blooming most recklessly; if it were voices instead of colors, there would be an unbelievable shrieking into the heart of the night.

I get a feeling there's going to be a riot

I don't read the newspapers because
They all have ugly prints

At the starting of the week
At summit talks you'll hear them speak
It's only Monday
Negotiations breaking down
See those leaders start to frown
It's sword and gun day

Tomorrow never comes until it's too late

You could be sitting taking lunch
The news will hit you like a punch
It's only Tuesday
You never thought we'd go to war
After all the things we saw
It's April Fools' day

Tomorrow never comes until it's too late
Tomorrow never comes until it's too late

You hear a whistling overhead
Are you alive or are you dead?
It's only Thursday
You feel a shaking on the ground
A billion candles burn around
Is it your birthday?

Tomorrow never comes until it's too late
Tomorrow never comes until it's too late
Make tomorrow come I think it's too late

Words I Never Said - Lupe Fiasco

2011-03-20T17:45:00.008-04:00

[Skylar Grey]
It’s so loud Inside my head
With words that I should have said!
As I drown in my regrets
I can’t take back the words I never said
I can’t take back the words I never said

[Lupe Fiasco]
I really think the war on terror is a bunch of bullshit
Just a poor excuse for you to use up all your bullets
How much money does it take to really make a full clip
9/11 building 7 did they really pull it
Uhh, And a bunch of other cover ups
Your childs future was the first to go with budget cuts
If you think that hurts then, wait here comes the uppercut
The school was garbage in the first place, thats on the up and up
Keep you at the bottom but tease you with the uppercrust
You get it then they move you so you never keeping up enough
If you turn on TV all you see’s a bunch of “what the f-cks”
Dude is dating so and so blabbering bout such and such
And that aint Jersey Shore, homie thats the news
And these the same people that supposed to be telling us the truth
Limbaugh is a racist, Glenn Beck is a racist
Gaza strip was getting bombed, Obama didn’t say shit
Thats why I aint vote for him, next one either
I’ma part of the problem, my problem is I’m peaceful
And I believe in the people.

[Skylar Grey - Chorus]
It’s so loud inside my head
With words that I should have said!
As I drown in my regrets
I can’t take back the words I never said
I can’t take back the words I never said

[Lupe Fiasco - Verse 2]
Now you can say it aint our fault if we never heard it
But if we know better than we probably deserve it
Jihad is not a holy war, wheres that in the worship?
Murdering is not Islam!

And you are not observant
And you are not a muslim
Israel don’t take my side cause look how far you’ve pushed them
Walk with me into the ghetto, this where all the Kush went
Complain about the liquor store but what you drinking liquor for?
Complain about the gloom but when’d you pick a broom up?
Just listening to Pac aint gone make it stop
A rebel in your thoughts, aint gon make it halt
If you don’t become an actor you’ll never be a factor
Pills with million side effects
Take em when the pains felt
Wash them down with Diet soda!
Killin off your brain cells
Crooked banks around the World
Would gladly give a loan today
So if you ever miss payment
They can take your home away!

[Skylar Grey - Chorus]
It’s so loud inside my head
With words that I should have said!
As I drown in my regrets
I can’t take back the words I never said, never said
I can’t take back the words I never said

[Lupe Fiasco - Verse 3]

I think that all the silence is worse than all the violence
Fear is such a weak emotion thats why I despise it
We scared of almost everything, afraid to even tell the truth
So scared of what you think of me, I’m scared of even telling you
Sometimes I’m like the only person I feel safe to tell it to
I’m locked inside a cell in me, I know that there’s a jail in you
Consider this your bailing out, so take a breath, inhale a few
My screams is finally getting free, my thoughts is finally yelling through

[Skylar Grey - Chorus]
It’s so loud Inside my head
With words that I should have said!
As I drown in my regrets
I can’t take back the words I never said

Leave a place to rest on
Because you're too young

Yeah you're too young
Oh you're too young
You're too young

Too young, Oh (x4)
Too young, Uh (x4)

There goes another million,
Just wrap it up we own it
This night's a skill we hone it
And in the morning would you tell me that it's over?
You think that you'd do better
To stick with someone older
Because we're too young

Oh, too young (x4)

Too young
Yeah, we're too young in the morning.
We're too young
We're too young in the morning.

2011-03-05T03:25:00.003-05:00

A man carries cash. A man looks out for those around him — woman, friend, stranger. A man can cook eggs. A man can always find something good to watch on television. A man makes things — a rock wall, a table, the tuition money. Or he rebuilds — engines, watches, fortunes. He passes along expertise, one man to the next. Know-how survives him. This is immortality. A man can speak to dogs. A man fantasizes that kung fu lives deep inside him somewhere. A man knows how to sneak a look at cleavage and doesn't care if he gets busted once in a while. A man is good at his job. Not his work, not his avocation, not his hobby. Not his career. His job. It doesn't matter what his job is, because if a man doesn't like his job, he gets a new one.

A man can look you up and down and figure some things out. Before you say a word, he makes you. From your suitcase, from your watch, from your posture. A man infers.

A man owns up. That's why Mark McGwire is not a man. A man grasps his mistakes. He lays claim to who he is, and what he was, whether he likes them or not.

Some mistakes, though, he lets pass if no one notices. Like dropping the steak in the dirt.

A man loves the human body, the revelation of nakedness. He loves the sight of the pale breast, the physics of the human skeleton, the alternating current of the flesh. He is thrilled by the snatch, by the wrist, the sight of a bare shoulder. He likes the crease of a bent knee. When his woman bends to pick up her underwear, he feels that thrum that only a man can feel.

A man doesn't point out that he did the dishes.

A man looks out for children. Makes them stand behind him.

A man knows how to bust balls.

A man has had liquor enough in his life that he can order a drink without sounding breathless, clueless, or obtuse. When he doesn't want to think, he orders bourbon or something on tap.

Never the sauvignon blanc.

A man welcomes the coming of age. It frees him. It allows him to assume the upper hand and teaches him when to step aside.

Maybe he never has, and maybe he never will, but a man figures he can knock someone, somewhere, on his ass.

He does not rely on rationalizations or explanations. He doesn't winnow, winnow, winnow until truths can be humbly categorized, or intellectualized, until behavior can be written off with an explanation. He doesn't see himself lost in some great maw of humanity, some grand sweep. That's the liberal thread; it's why men won't line up as liberals.

A man gets the door. Without thinking.

He stops traffic when he must.

A man resists formulations, questions belief, embraces ambiguity without making a fetish out of it. A man revisits his beliefs. Continually. That's why men won't forever line up with conservatives, either.

A man knows his tools and how to use them — just the ones he needs. Knows which saw is for what, how to find the stud, when to use galvanized nails.

A miter saw, incidentally, is the kind that sits on a table, has a circular blade, and is used for cutting at precise angles. Very satisfying saw.

A man knows how to lose an afternoon. Drinking, playing Grand Theft Auto, driving aimlessly, shooting pool.

He knows how to lose a month, also.

A man listens, and that's how he argues. He crafts opinions. He can pound the table, take the floor. It's not that he must. It's that he can.

A man is comfortable being alone. Loves being alone, actually. He sleeps.

Or he stands watch. He interrupts trouble. This is the state policeman. This is the poet. Men, both of them.

A man loves driving alone most of all.

Style — a man has that. No matter how eccentric that style is, it is uncontrived. It's a set of rules.

He understands the basic mechanics of the planet. Or he can close one eye, look up at the sun, and tell you what time of day it is. Or where north is. He can tell you where you might find something to eat or where the fish run. He understands electricity or the internal-combustion engine, the mechanics of flight or how to figure a pitcher's ERA.

A man does not know everything. He doesn't try. He likes what other men know.

A man can tell you he was wrong. That he did wrong. That he planned to. He can tell you when he is lost. He can apologize, even if sometimes it's just to put an end to the bickering.

A man does not wither at the thought of dancing. But it is generally to be avoided.

A man watches. Sometimes he goes and sits at an auction knowing he won't spend a dime, witnessing the temptation and the maneuvering of others. Sometimes he stands on the street corner watching stuff. This is not about quietude so much as collection. It is not about meditation so much as considering. A man refracts his vision and gains acuity. This serves him in every way. No one taught him this — to be quiet, to cipher, to watch. In this way, in these moments, the man is like a zoo animal: both captive and free. You cannot take your eyes off a man when he is like that. You shouldn't. The hell if you know what he is thinking, who he is, or what he will do next.

Dear Government Representative

2011-03-02T12:48:00.012-05:00

Dear Government Representative,

Statesmen, I write to you as a concerned citizen of the United States of America. My family has been in America since 1771, five years prior to the signing of our Declaration of Independence. I currently reside and work in Atlanta, Georgia- working in the business world as and Employee Benefits Adviser - working with regional and national companies, both large and small.

Historically, we are in unique times – unprecedented in my understanding of our great nations past. I am of the independent school of thought – politically centered. I have placed votes for both Democratic and Republican representatives, principals and ideals in my 30 years.

What is going on in our Nation? When our government must pass legislation to maintain funding to allow the government to function for an additional two weeks? While bi-partisan bickering over financial matters large and small take place? Where are we?

Where has practical compromise gone? We are in the midst of a new world of globalization, internationally mixed economic dependencies, where nations no longer exist in a vacuum. Yet, we sit in a great recession – a depression among fellow citizens trying to maintain the economic dreams of “Old America”.

Where are we? When the radical principals of both the right wing and left wing have polarized politics to such an extent that common sense solutions can no longer be reached due to a war of media and politics? Is our only motivation driven by the almighty dollar, advertising, corporate contributions to campaigns, etc..

We have become so blinded by money that the Utilitarian philosophies that founded our country have been all together abandoned. When the government lacks efficiency on all levels; when business lacks Utilitarian/Humanitarian principals on all levels? Do any of you in politics have principals? Have the dollars driven you to insanity in your reasoning?

What I see is a fight between radically opposed opinions; a fight between extremes. We have witnessed historically, and currently, the violent and devastating affects of extreme ideologies through the ages, have we not? Yet, domestically we brew in our own in-fighting.

The world is watching us, in-fighting. We do not appear free and happy, do we? How could we?

There is a very important concept in decision making at the highest levels. What is best for our nation as a whole? Take the extreme ideas from the right wing and the extreme ideas from the left wing and then find the middle of the road. Some might call this “common sense.” Is there none left on the State level, the Federal level? Is anybody paying attention, at all?

Rather than narcissistically serving your political position for personal gains in the form of seeking re-election through playing the media, Internet, and every other form of self promotion... will one of you, any of you, please ignore your own self-centered future and stand up for what is “common sense”, what is valuable for the most people?

Do any of you actually represent the best interest of the people of the United States, or are all of you simply in office to placate your own ego?

With great shame for your efforts,

Edward W. Bell

Excerpts from my notebook.

I kept a notebook with me last year at all times during business and travel. I put down writings, blurbs, quotes, song lyrics, etc. I have decided to place them all on the internet - oh joy!

Note: some of these writings are quotes from authors with my own interjections - quotes from songs with my own interjections - if you recognize something, but know that the content is twisted - I twisted it.

Trees grow stronger
Tender boys
Swapped for impenetrable men

The solid heart is hard to break
Its not that my heart broke; its that you wanted it to

My optimism, love, & passion for this world is equal to my self indulgent melancholy

Trees live and die every year. We are not designed to be robots - we should not be even all the time. Life is in the journey. The up and down. Live life - brace for the worst - take a risk-its all beautiful - the good, the bad.
Spend long amounts of time being conservative in your approach, learn the rules, practice self restrain, and then…
Break all the rules, let yourself go-take risk, and then…

Again - Flyleaf (From God To You)

(from God to you)

I love the way that your heart breaks
with every injustice and deadly fate
Praying it all be new
and living like it all depends on you

Here you are down on your knees again
trying to find air to breathe again
And only surrender will help you now
I love you please see and believe again

I love that you’re never satisfied
with face value wisdom and happy lies
you take what they say and go back and cry
you’re so close to me that you nearly died

Here you are down on your knees again
trying to find air to breathe again
And only surrender will help you now
I love you please see and believe again

they don’t have to understand you
be strong
wait and know I understand you
be still

Here you are down on your knees again
trying to find air to breathe again
Only surrender will help you now
The floodgates are breaking
they're pouring out

Here you are down on your knees
trying to find air to breathe
right where I want you to be again
i love you please see and believe again

Here you are down on your knees again
trying to find air to breathe again
Right where I want you to be again
See and believe!

Insure

2011-02-26T16:19:00.004-05:00

Writing pieces of paper, purchased for security; products designed to prevent the worst in life. They are nothing more than letters on a page. Words that make a promise to protect people from harm done by health, hazard, accident, natural disaster, critical illnesses, and any even death. Pay the price, buy security.

It’s a collection of money. A pool of money designed to insure. People pay into the "security pool"; it pays them when the time is right. A brilliant idea based in the utilitarian.

If only it worked, as it was designed to.

Now a sample - of what I really write about.

---------------------------------
From the Chapter “Corporate Youth” Copy Right 2011

The morning urban smell of highway, and standstill rush hour traffic drifted in the window of his car. A veteran of the morning commute. While others honk, struggle with acceptance and develop anxiety - Will sips his coffee and absorbs his morning news radio show with peace. He has developed a Zen approach to his daily commute. Filed it in his mind as his “alone time”. His moment of quite. Where he develops positions of his mind for the days work and demands. Here, in his car the attitude is formed, the focus is developed. He makes his way to the office with precision, knowing when to change lanes for optimum timing. He has mastered the flow of this Atlanta river and knows how navigate the trip. When the road allows for 80mph and when to expect the 5 mph bump and scoot.

Upon his arrival to the parking lot he takes his usual spot and wastes no time exiting the car and heading for the entrance to the building.

Arriving in the lobby of marble floor and long wooden columns he checks the gig line of his shirt and pants and proceeds. Noticing Jim at the elevator he knows what time it is automatically. Jim has been at the company for 30 years and one could set their clock by his morning movement. A dinosaur of the industry, Jim considers the smart phone an alien product and views the youth of the company as the “cyber generation”.

The elevator door opens and it appears Jim and Will are taking the ride alone this morning. Jim pushes the button for the 2nd floor with a head nod in Will's direction.“DING!” The door slowly shuts. A moment of silence as they each face forward.

“How was the weekend for yah?” Jim asks with a touch of over expressed enthusiasm on a Monday morning at 8:00 a.m.

“Pretty good. I got really drunk on Saturday night and ended up sleeping with some random. She was horrible in bed! She didn’t stay the night though, so I guess - I broke even by avoiding the awkward morning. Overall it was a stellar weekend, Jim. What about you?”

Will responds sharply, knowing that Jim is of the Evangelical Christian movement and ‘on the way out‘. There is a brief moment of awkward silence while Jim contemplates if the statement is meant as a joke or to be taken seriously.

“Haahah, You had me for a second there kiddio!” Jim laughs as he slaps Will’s shoulder.

By this time the elevator door has opened and Will is halfway in the hallway. Striding toward a set of double doors leading to his office with a grin on his face. He can’t help but be amused that some are so naive in their faith that they can’t even recognize the truth when they hear it. The perfect irony for what will prove to be an excellent Monday.

"Heart Cooks Brain"

Slow walk
It's land mine
It's coal mine
It's a bad thought
On the way to god don't know
my brain's the burger and my heart's the coal
I'm trying to get my head clear
i push things out through my mouth i get refilled through my ears
i'm on my way to god don't know or even care
my brain's the weak heart, and my heart's the long stairs
Inland from Vancouver shore
the ravens and the seagulls push each other inward and outward
inward and outward
in this place that i call home
my brain's the cliff, and my heart's the bitter buffalo
my heart's the bitter buffalo
we tore one down, and erected another there
the match of the century: absence versus thin air
on the way to god don't know
my brain's the burger and my heart's the coal
on this life that we call home
the years go fast and the days go so slow

I'm carrying the wheel
Thanks for all you've shown us
But this is how we feel

Come sit next to me
Pour yourself some tea
Just like grandma made
When we couldn't find sleep
Things were better then
Once but never again
We've all left the den
Let me tell you 'bout it

The choo-choo train left right on time
A ticket cost only your mind
The driver said "Hey man, we go all the way,"
Of course we were willing to pay

My name is Wepeel
Gotta box full of your toys
They're fresh out of batteries
But they're still makin' noise, makin' noise

Tell me what to do
Now the tank is dry
Now this wheel is flat
And you know what else?
Guess what I received
In the mail today
Words of deep concern
From my little brother

The building's not goin' as he planned
The foreman has injured his hand
The dozer will not clear a path
The driver swears he learned his math

The workers are going home
The workers are going home
The workers are going home

Pretty Sure You Are Wrong

2011-02-16T16:03:00.012-05:00

Rarely - very rarely – do I state that somebody is flat out wrong. Being a student of truth and accuracy - which is constantly vague and changing – never still – always s a moving object - rarely do I say with complete absolution that somebody is “wrong”.

Having been burnt, so many times in the past, having been proven incorrect during some of my greatest moments of intelligence and intuition, so many times – I stay away from it.

Honestly, I try not to even frame things in the context of right and wrong.

Well, finally – I have begun to view some situations from a mental construct of “right” and “wrong”. I try to leave room for error – even overcompensating for what could be “false perspective.” I gave that up.

I have now conceded – You were and are completely, absolutely 100% - wrong. About yourself, those around you, and me.

Anybody so sure they are correct – mind numbingly persuasive in their own false perspective – built by only themselves. The greatest indicator of your complete “wrongness” – was how impetuously sure you were of your “correctness”!! Accuracy is something in the middle, no? Something not so left or right. Like much of the world – it is in the balance that we are proven WRONG by our OWN extremes.

So, in conclusion. You are WRONG! – and you know who you are. As we all do when we are so obviously wrong. It is a sinking feeling, no? A feeling of “defense” – a feeling of “fuck it”. A feeling of “wrong”. I expect years of denial. Only the most powerful “wrongness” can bring somebody to lie so amazingly unto themselves.

It can take years to recover.

Embrace your wrongness – and move on. Maybe one day you can make up for it, but I wouldn’t count on that either.

Don’t worry – I’ve been there. We all have, but some of us take longer to admit it – to themselves. Welcome to the "wrong" club. The first way to get out of it - is to accept it.

Who am I talking to? You.

Yes, you.

What is it going to take?

2011-02-14T16:17:00.006-05:00

What are the current divorce rates in America? It is frequently reported that the divorce rate in America is 50%. This data is not accurately correct, however, it is reasonably close to an actual fact.

The Americans for Divorce Reform estimates that probably, 40 or possibly even 50 percent of marriages will end in divorce if current trends continue.

Age at marriage for those who divorce in America According to DivorceRate.org

Age : Women
Under 20 years old 27.6%
20 to 24 years old 36.6%
25 to 29 years old 16.4%
30 to 34 years old 8.5%
35 to 39 years old 5.1%

Age : Men
Under 20 years old 11.7%
20 to 24 years old 38.8%
25 to 29 years old 22.3%
30 to 34 years old 11.6%
35 to 39 years old 6.5%

The following statement about the divorce rates in America reveals all the details about distribution. According to enrichment journal on the divorce rates in America, the divorce rate in America for first marriage is 41%; the divorce rate in America for second marriage is 60%; the divorce rate in America for third marriage is 73%.

According to discovery channel, couples with children have a slightly lower rate of divorce than childless couples. Sociologists believe that childlessness is also a common cause of divorce. The absence of children leads to loneliness and weariness and even in the United States; at least 66 per cent of all divorced couples are childless.

According to some experts, however, divorce rates tend to go down primarily because more couples live together without marrying. Other researchers have documented what they call “the divorce divide,” contending that divorce rates are indeed falling substantively among college-educated couples but not among less-affluent, less-educated couples.

The divorce rate in America is more than 50%, which means one in two couples will break up. Why it is so high. What is the real reason for them to divorce? I think we should look for the answer from the American belief. Freedom is one of the most important beliefs for America and nothing can replace it besides love. When they married, they don’t run for long love. If they think the love and family can’t offer their happiness and safety, they would choose to divorce. They wouldn’t think more about the family or the children because they take themselves as the center. That means they love freedom not stability. Their dreams are running for their own blessedness.

As the divorce rates in America rises, bad effects do happen on the children who are use to growing up with both parents. When both parents raise a child, the child is learning different things from each parent. The child is also developing its own personality by getting traits from each parent. When divorce leads one parent to leave the household, it has a huge effect on the children. Both parents need to continue to play an important role in the child’s life. When a parent leaves the household, this can make the child withdraw and feel unwanted. It can affect their schoolwork, social skills, and their activities. They may act out in different ways, to show you they are not happy with this change in their life. It may also affect the child when the child becomes an adult. When the child becomes a parent, they may think it is not important for their child to have both parents involved in their life.

What exactly does this computer do well? Everything is blocked on it. It is running XP with office 03. This is certainly the worst business station I have seen in a long time. I am surprised it let me open blogger! I think I am on dial up.

Note to self: Rural America needs an update.

Can you believe there are people who don’t use email to do business? I had a lady ask me to mail her a letter with the documents I need her to sign. “Do you have a fax machine?” I ask? “No sir, it has been broken for some time.” – Wow. So, if I need to get all of the work done for this client - that would mean I need to mail that shit… today!

She read every single word of the contract… EVERY DAMN WORD. She asked me more questions about the clauses in the contract than anybody has EVER. I don’t’ even think our legal team knows what half of this jargin means.

Oh, hilarious.

Call – corresponded, connect, strategize, manage, communicate, meet, re-meet to re-communicate: Rinse – Repeat. Get the details – isolate them – find their greater meaning. Back up, see the big picture – find the vision, direction. Do the details and the big picture point in the same direction? What is the simplest solution? What is the most convoluted? What is the traditional approach? The radical one? What makes the most sense for this company? What is the relationship? What is the specialty? Do the numbers and the culture match? Are we doing what is best for the employees? Is this all about money?

I knock them out of the park, each question - I really do.

I am starting to amaze myself – I love consulting, management, analysis.

Some day somebody is going to pay me a lot of money to do what I do. BUT How do I do it for myself?

Tyler Durden: Now, a question of etiquette - as I pass, do I give you the ass or the crotch?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tyler Durden: Tomorrow will be the most beautiful day of Raymond K. Hessel's life. His breakfast will taste better than any meal you and I have ever tasted.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Narrator: This is crazy...
Tyler Durden: People do it everyday, they talk to themselves... they see themselves as they'd like to be, they don't have the courage you have, to just run with it.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tyler Durden: Fuck damnation, man! Fuck redemption! We are God's unwanted children? So be it!
Narrator: OK. Give me some water!
Tyler Durden: Listen, you can run water over your hand and make it worse or...
[shouts]
Tyler Durden: look at me... or you can use vinegar and neutralize the burn.
Narrator: Please let me have it... *Please*!
Tyler Durden: First you have to give up, first you have to *know*... not fear... *know*... that someday you're gonna die.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tyler Durden: [pointing at an emergency instruction manual on a plane] You know why they put oxygen masks on planes?
Narrator: So you can breathe.
Tyler Durden: Oxygen gets you high. In a catastrophic emergency, you're taking giant panicked breaths. Suddenly you become euphoric, docile. You accept your fate. It's all right here. Emergency water landing - 600 miles an hour. Blank faces, calm as Hindu cows.
Narrator: That's, um... That's an interesting theory.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Marla Singer: I've got a stomachful of Xanax. I took what was left of a bottle. It might have been too much.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Marla Singer: Your whacked out bald freaks hit me with a fucking broom! They almost broke my arm! They were burning their fingertips with lye, the stink was unbelievable!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[after vigorous sex with Tyler Durden]
Marla Singer: My God. I haven't been fucked like that since grade school.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Narrator: I am Jack's smirking revenge.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tyler Durden: Man, I see in fight club the strongest and smartest men who've ever lived. I see all this potential, and I see squandering. God damn it, an entire generation pumping gas, waiting tables; slaves with white collars. Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don't need. We're the middle children of history, man. No purpose or place. We have no Great War. No Great Depression. Our Great War's a spiritual war... our Great Depression is our lives. We've all been raised on television to believe that one day we'd all be millionaires, and movie gods, and rock stars. But we won't. And we're slowly learning that fact. And we're very, very pissed off.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tyler Durden: All the ways you wish you could be, that's me. I look like you wanna look, I fuck like you wanna fuck, I am smart, capable, and most importantly, I am free in all the ways that you are not.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tyler Durden: It's only after we've lost everything that we're free to do anything.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Richard Chesler: Is that your blood?
Narrator: Some of it, yeah.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tyler Durden: In the world I see - you are stalking elk through the damp canyon forests around the ruins of Rockefeller Center. You'll wear leather clothes that will last you the rest of your life. You'll climb the wrist-thick kudzu vines that wrap the Sears Tower. And when you look down, you'll see tiny figures pounding corn, laying strips of venison on the empty car pool lane of some abandoned superhighway.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tyler Durden: You're not your job. You're not how much money you have in the bank. You're not the car you drive. You're not the contents of your wallet. You're not your fucking khakis. You're the all-singing, all-dancing crap of the world.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Narrator: When you have insomnia, you're never really asleep... and you're never really awake.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tyler Durden: Listen up, maggots. You are not special. You are not a beautiful or unique snowflake. You're the same decaying organic matter as everything else.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Narrator: On a long enough timeline, the survival rate for everyone drops to zero.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Narrator: [about the soap] Tyler sold his soap to department stores at $20 a bar. Lord knows what they charged. It was beautiful. We were selling rich women their own fat asses back to them.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Narrator: When people think you're dying, they really, really listen to you, instead of just...
Marla Singer: - instead of just waiting for their turn to speak?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[after meeting and having sex with Marla]
Tyler Durden: Man, you've got some fucked up friends, I'm tellin' ya. Limber, though...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tyler Durden: The things you own end up owning you.

Narrator: [to Tyler, while looking at a Calvin Klein-esque ad on the bus] Is that what a real man is supposed to look like?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Narrator: [being embraced by Bob at the group therapy session for Testicular Cancer] Strangers with this kind of honesty make me go a big rubbery one.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tyler Durden: God Damn! We just had a near-life experience, fellas.

Narrator: A new car built by my company leaves somewhere traveling at 60 mph. The rear differential locks up. The car crashes and burns with everyone trapped inside. Now, should we initiate a recall? Take the number of vehicles in the field, A, multiply by the probable rate of failure, B, multiply by the average out-of-court settlement, C. A times B times C equals X. If X is less than the cost of a recall, we don't do one.
Business woman on plane: Are there a lot of these kinds of accidents?
Narrator: You wouldn't believe.
Business woman on plane: Which car company do you work for?
Narrator: A major one.

Tyler Durden: You have a kind of sick desperation in your laugh.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Narrator: If I did have a tumor, I'd name it Marla.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[meeting aboard an airliner]
Narrator: What do you do for a living?
Tyler Durden: Why? So you can pretend like you're interested?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Narrator: I am Jack's raging bile duct.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tyler Durden: Without pain, without sacrifice, we would have nothing. Like the first monkey shot into space.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Narrator: And then, something happened. I let go. Lost in oblivion. Dark and silent and complete. I found freedom. Losing all hope was freedom.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tyler Durden: Do you know what a duvet is?
Narrator: It's a comforter...
Tyler Durden: It's a blanket. Just a blanket. Now why do guys like you and me know what a duvet is? Is this essential to our survival, in the hunter-gatherer sense of the word? No. What are we then?
Narrator: ...Consumers?
Tyler Durden: Right. We are consumers. We're the bi-products of a lifestyle obsession.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Narrator: Everywhere I travel, tiny life. Single-serving sugar, single-serving cream, single pat of butter. The microwave Cordon Bleu hobby kit. Shampoo-conditioner combos, sample-packaged mouthwash, tiny bars of soap. The people I meet on each flight? They're single-serving friends.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Narrator: I am Jack's complete lack of surprise.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tyler Durden: It could be worse. A woman could cut off your penis while you're sleeping and toss it out the window of a moving car.
Narrator: There's always that.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Narrator: I am Jack's wasted life.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Narrator: I am Jack's inflamed sense of rejection.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tyler Durden: Fuck what you know. You need to forget about what you know, that's your problem. Forget about what you think you know about life, about friendship, and especially about you and me.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Narrator: I am Jack's broken heart.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[last lines]
Narrator: You met me at a very strange time in my life.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Narrator: Life insurance pays off triple if you die on a business trip.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Narrator: Except for their humping, Tyler and Marla were never in the same room. My parents pulled this exact same act for years.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Marla Singer: ...Condom is the glass slipper of our generation. You slip one on when you meet a stranger. You dance all night... then you throw it away. The condom, I mean, not the stranger.
Narrator: What?

Communication:

A voice. To be heard. If each of us could actively listen as passionately as we speak. So much focus on getting the message out. Writing correctly, speaking correctly, form words and ideas in new ways. We place so much energy on output, yet we never seem to focus on if we are understanding correctly.

Listening, observation – is an art. My greatest moments of speaking are useless compared to what I have experienced when listening.

Compassion:

Our society seems jaded, no? We have been so programmed on self interests that we have lost sight of empathy.

If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion.- The Dalai Lama

An over simplification - it seems to me that if the emphasis is on personal gain and/or success there is little room for compassion.

If the emphasis is on happiness then compassion is the key.

Romantic Love:

I need to find a master of it. A master of it. A master of it.

Loss:

Maybe those that we love and lost are not so far away.

To be a subject of the world, to it. To live life as we should. To fail, to succeed, to decide neither failure or success matter. To think freely. The spirit of life is in the complete order and chaos of it all. It is both alive and dead at all times. Orderly chaos. Random - Intent. Drop the dualism at the door - and all of it’s faults. The emotional and psychological impacts of dualism. Not all things are either this or that - more time than not they are both this and that , all at once.

Why must we organize our minds according to system filings. Past, Present, future, 3:45 a.m. all these measurements keeping things mapped out. Ordered! For the sake of Order! We take these hard and fast terms - and blindly apply them to everything.

Back up here a moment. 2+2 is only equal to four if you identified the 2. Maybe 2+2=4 would be better stated - as simply “4”. Well, it is already?… that is why we just say.. “four”! We don’t say 2+2 = 4 every time we say the number “four” aloud. No, we don’t always break things down, deconstruction, now do we? What the hell am I talking about, you ask? Dualism.

It affects our perception of the world. Our lives. We see patterns - that we identified. They are not true - simply because we identify them as so. 2+2= 4 only if you have identified it as so. 2 apples + 2 apples in reality is most likely 2.23484 Apples + 2.856245 Apples - which would equal 5.09 (etc)…

2+2=4 only because we identify it so.

i.e. Your life. My life. The World.

I don't wanna be your friend
I just wanna be your lover
No matter how it ends
No matter how it starts

Forget about your house of cards
And I'll do mine
Forget about your house of cards
And I'll do mine

Fall off the table,
And get swept under
Denial, denial

The infrastructure will collapse
From voltage spikes
Throw your keys in the bowl
Kiss your husband 'good night'

Forget about your house of cards
And I'll do mine
Forget about your house of cards
And I'll do mine

Fall off the table,
And get swept under

Denial, denial
Denial, denial

Your ears are burning
Denial, denial
Your ears should be burning
Denial, denial

Daily Horoscope

2011-01-17T18:28:00.002-05:00

This day brings about positive changes in security, savings, expenses, cost of living and the changes you and others are trying to make happen. This is one of your best overall days. You may find yourself having more interest and energy at home and with the family--perhaps having less polish on the job just now. Your home life will lay the foundation for greater confidence at work. This is a healing time for the spirit, family, friends, creativeness, etc. Be more cautious about financial commitments just now. Long trips could be planned after March. Life is easier than you think--all you have to do is accept the impossible, do without the indispensable, bear the intolerable and be able to smile at most anything.

On The Future of Social Media

2011-01-12T22:29:00.009-05:00

The birth of an entirely new form of communication is always a huge step forward in human history. From the invention of the written word, books, telegrams, phones, email, etc. The smart phone, social media sites, and the modern attitude of the “constantly connected” have invented new social caveats into our day to day lives.

One might argue the popularity of this type of communication is an attack on personal privacy. Another might argue the beauty of this type of social interaction is the value of transparency. It seems every few months a newer, or more specialized, form of social networking communication is invented.

There are pros and cons. As in most things the value and perspective of social media is in the eye of the beholder (user).

I see peers adjusting, and readjusting, their attitudes and actions in such social networks. Those who are most active in social media have practically developed ‘brands’ for themselves depending on the network. i.e. On Linked In (social network for professionals) a user may present the ‘professional’ side of their own brand, while being more divulging of more personal information on networks such as facebook or twitter.

Some users share what can be an annoyingly large amount of personal information and others never share a thing – acting merely as onlookers. Others still, carry an attitude of apathy or non-concern over the value of communication on social media. Simply stating it is for “entertainment proposes only”. “The Internet is a lie.”

Terms like “netiquette” have taken on new meaning and much like real society certain social norms and ab-norms are developing.

Others still, use social media as a marketing device. Some for marketing their personal ability, skills, life, ideas, etc. and some to actually market a company or product.

I personally rearranged my own networks a few times. At first expanding it as large as possible, and then reducing my number of connections to people I actually want to know about. I have separate networks for work and personal life, a third still for writing – multiple Internet alias’ etc.

I read a book in the early 90s called “Cyberia”, which predicted that people would eventually spend large amounts of time online and in “virtual worlds”.

I see the next step in social media (5 to 10 years) we will see social media sites with complete 3D graphics chassis on them. Much like a 3D online game. As the Internet develops in capacity to support such interfaces. Actually, they have already created social environments like this. “Second Life”is complete with entire virtual cities, shops, bars, bowling allies, race car tracks, adult entertainment locations, movies, dance clubs, etc.(all created by users)(http://secondlife.com/)

Second Life is free. You can create a home, buy land, get a job, etc... it is NOT A GAME and it is an open-ended environment. Can you say?: "Nerdtastic".

I can not even imagine having enough time for something like this, but I would guess this is very similar to the future of social media environment. (as websites become more elaborate)

During last years’ protests in Iran we saw how social media can drive a revolution. (thank you twitter)

One thing seems to be certain – the Internet has become a ‘decide your own level of involvement’ environment. Secondly, this story is still developing. Goldman recently invested a large sum of money into facebook. A real turning point – when a huge financial institution is ready to put 500 million on the line for what it has declared “valuable”. I have a few friends who have removed themselves entirely from facebook as a result of this. Possibly consumer choices meant to voice discontent with major corporations taking interest in what has become the “peoples voice”.

Regardless it is 2011 - worlds have become closer together as a result of social media, for better – or worse.

Tighten Up! - Black Keys

(Couldn't Have Said It Better)

Tighten Up

I wanted love, I needed love,
Most of all, most of all
Someone said true love was dead
...And I'm bound to fall, bound to fall
For you
But what can I do?

Take my badge but my heart remains
Lovin' you, baby child
Tighten up on your reigns
You're runnin' wild, runnin' wild
It's true

Sick for days in so many ways
I'm achin' now, I'm achin' now
It's times like these I need relief
Please show me how, show me how
To get right

When I was young and moving fast
Nothing slowed me down, slowed me down
Now I let the others pass
I've come around, come around

Living just to keep going
Going just to stay sane
All the while never knowing
It's such a shame

I don't need to get steady
I know just how I feel
I'm telling you to get ready
My dear

Will someone please call a surgeon
Who can crack my ribs and repair this broken heart
That your're deserting for better company?
I can't accept that it's over...
I will block the door like a goalie tending the net
In the third quarter of a tied-game rivalry

So just say how to make it right
And i swear i'll do my best to comply

Tell me am i right to think that there could be nothing better
Than making you my bride and slowly growing old together

(girl)
I feel must interject here you're getting carried away feeling sorry for yourself
With these revisions and gaps in history
So let me help you remember.
I've made charts and graphs that should finally make it clear.
I've prepared a lecture on why i have to leave

So please back away and let me go

(boy)
I can't my darling i love you so...

Tell me am i right to think that there could be nothing better
Than making you my bride and slowly growing old together

Sleeping In

2010-11-04T14:53:00.013-04:00

Last week I had the strangest dream
Where everything was exactly how it seemed
Where there was never any mystery on who shot john f kennedy
It was just a man with something to prove
Slightly bored and severely confused
He steadied his rifle with his target in the center
And became famous on that day in november

Dont wake me i plan on sleeping
Dont wake me i plan on sleeping in
Dont wake me i plan on sleeping
Dont wake me i plan on sleeping in

Again last night I had that strange dream
Where everything was exactly how it seemed
Concerns about the world getting warmer
People thought they were just being rewarded
For treating others as they like to be treated
For obeying stop signs and curing diseases
For mailing letters with the address of the sender
Now we can swim any day in November

Dont wake me i plan on sleeping
(now we can swim any day in November)
Dont wake me i plan on sleeping in
Dont wake me i plan on sleeping
Dont wake me i plan on sleeping in

Dont wake me i plan on sleeping in
Dont wake me i plan on sleeping

A Tribe Called Quest - Stressed Out

2010-10-04T17:27:00.004-04:00

Intro/Chorus: Faith Evans

I really know how it feels to be, stressed out, stressed out
When you’re face to face with your adversity
I really know how it feels to be, stressed out, stressed out
We’re gonna make this thing work out eventually

Verse One: Consequence, Q-Tip

Yo I ain’t one to complain but there’s things in the game
(What’s your name?) Consequence, I’m tight, burnt like flames
(And why’s that?) American dreams, they got this ghetto kid in a fiend

Don’t stress that cause it’s not in your bloodstream
Your whole being, comes from greatness, d’you remember
Shatan got you caught in the storms of December
And brothers on the block packin nines like September
Crazy situations keeps pockets on slender

Yo I be on the avenue where they be actin brand new
I’m splurgin on these Reebok joints for shorty boo

All of a sudden, I saw these two kids frontin
Talkin out they joints but they wasn’t sayin nuttin
My hand was on my toolie they was actin unruly
(Say word) Yo word up, yo I was tight caught up
But I swallowed my pride and let that nonsense ride
Because I’m positive it seems that negative dies

Yo we was at the dice game makin these cats look silly
Flamin, steady runnin off at the Willie

I had my cash mixed, my rent due, with my play-dough
I gotta see some loot so all my girls I blow
Shook them shits in my palm let em hit the flo’
Kept my eyeballs scopin for them pigs po-po
I got to go on the ave see my parole by fo’
But I gotta steady freak these boys like JoJo

And I was doin it, til I met Ike, Spike, and Mike
One roll, they had my pockets thirstier than Sprite

Yo I know the feelin, when you feelin like a villain
You be havin good thoughts but the evils be revealin
and the stresses of life can take you off the right path (no doubt)
Jealousy and envy tends to infiltrate your staff
We gotta hold it down so we can move on past
all adversities, so we can get through fast, like that

Chorus

Verse Two: Consequence

You got the N.W.O. (low cash flow)
Your baby’s on the way (and you don’t know who)
And crosstown niggaz tryin to (bust at you)
Aiyyo they got me stressed out (and you don’t know what to do)
So frame this Kodak black, and vision to my contact
with a poultry scrap, workers get pistol smacked
The switch hittin Queens, niggaz liquid sword spittin
with raw poppy, and now your first love is krill
Your vision of the mil got crept like Hey Lover
Tried to rise to the top, you just couldn’t recover
And all I want is my laceration of the pie
to get this whip cream before the water runs dry
Niggaz flashdancin yo I don’t know why
You’re sick of snitchin, she got you cruisin to the pokey
like Smokey, the stress be tryin to squeeze out a homey
While I be tryin to get star status like Shinobi
So we can build a dynasty, just like the Colby's
And all I want, is the world to know my steez
These money hungry niggaz is seven thirty
And got me stressed out like these frog MC’s

Chorus

Outro: Faith Evans

Jeff Buckley - Hallelujah

2010-10-04T14:00:00.007-04:00

i heard there was a secret chord
that david played and it pleased the lord
but you don't really care for music, do you
well it goes like this the fourth, the fifth
the minor fall and the major lift
the baffled king composing hallelujah

hallelujah...

well your faith was strong but you needed proof
you saw her bathing on the roof
her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
she tied you to her kitchen chair
she broke your throne and she cut your hair
and from your lips she drew the hallelujah

hallelujah...

baby i've been here before
i've seen this room and i've walked this floor
i used to live alone before i knew you
i've seen your flag on the marble arch
but love is not a victory march
it's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah

hallelujah...

well there was a time when you let me know
what's really going on below
but now you never show that to me do you
but remember when i moved in you
and the holy dove was moving too
and every breath we drew was hallelujah

well, maybe there's a god above
but all i've ever learned from love
was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you
it's not a cry that you hear at night
it's not somebody who's seen the light
it's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah

hallelujah...

Android - Green Day

2010-09-27T18:29:00.004-04:00

"Android"

Hey old man in woman's shoes
I wonder if he knows I think he's crazy
When he was young did he have dreams
Of wearing woman's shoes and being crazy?

It makes me wonder when I grow to be that age
Will I be walking down the street begging for your spare change

Or will I grow that old?
Will I still be around?
The way I carry on I'll end up
Six feet underground
And waste away...

When the old man was in school
Did the golden rule make him go crazy
Or did he hide away from hopes
Behind a smile and smoking dope
It's crazy

It makes me wonder when I grow to be that age
Will I be walking down the street begging for your spare change

Or will I grow that old?
Will I still be around?
The way I carry on I'll end up
Six feet underground
And waste away...

It seems so frightening
Time passes by like lightning
Before you know it you're struck down
I always waste my time on my chemical emotions
It keeps my head spinning around
And waste away...

It seems so frightening
Time passes by like lightning
Before you know it you're struck down
I always waste my time on my chemical emotions
It keeps my head spinning around
And waste away...

Asheru - Boondocks Theme Song

2010-09-24T09:35:00.004-04:00

I am the stone that builder refused
I am the visual
The inspiration
That made lady sing the blues

I'm the spark that makes your idea bright
The same spark
That lights the dark
So that you can know your left from your right

I am the ballot in your box
The bullet in your gun
The inner glow that lets you know
To call your brother son
The story that just begun
The promise of what's to come
And I'm 'a remain a soldier till the war is won

Weezer - Say It Ain't So

2010-09-23T09:59:00.005-04:00

Oh yeah.
All right.

Somebody's Heine' is crowdin' my icebox
Somebody's cold one is givin' me chills
Guess I'll just close my eyes

Oh yeah
Alright
Feels good
Inside

Flip on the tele'
Wrestle with Jimmy
Something is bubbling
Behind my back
The bottle is ready to blow

Say it ain't so
Your drug is a heartbreaker
Say it ain't so
My love is a lifetaker

I can't confront you
I never could do
That which might hurt you
So try and be cool
When I say
This way is a waterslide away from me that takes you further every day (hey)
So be cool

Say it ain't so
Your drug is a heartbreaker
Say it ain't so
My love is a lifetaker

Dear Daddy,
I write you in spite of years of silence.
You've cleaned up, found Jesus,
things are good or so I hear.
This bottle of Steven's
awakens ancient feelings.
Like father, stepfather, the son is drowning in the flood

Yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah.

Say it ain't so
Your drug is a heartbreaker
Say it ain't so
My love is a lifetaker

Guitars, Cadillacs- Dwight Yoakam

2010-09-19T18:06:00.005-04:00

Girl you taught me how to hurt real bad and cry myself to sleep
You showed me how this town can shatter dreams
Another lesson bout a naive fool that came to Babylon
And found out that the pie don't taste so sweet

And now it's guitars, Cadillacs, and hillbilly music
And lonely lonely streets that I call home
And yeah my guitars, Cadillacs, and hillbilly music
It's the only thing that keeps me hanging on

There ain't no glamour in this tinseled land
Of lost and wasted lives
And painful scars are all that's left of me
Oh, But thank you girl for teaching me
Brand new ways to be cruel
And if I can find my mind now I guess I'll just leave

And now it's guitars, Cadillacs, and hillbilly music
And lonely lonely streets that I call home
And yeah my guitars, Cadillacs, and hillbilly music
It's the only thing that keeps me hanging on

And now it's guitars, Cadillacs, and hillbilly music
And lonely lonely streets that I call home
And yeah my guitars, Cadillacs, and hillbilly music
It's the only thing that keeps me hanging on
It's the only thing that keeps me hanging on
It's the only thing that keeps me hanging on

Gravediggaz-Defective Trip (Trippin)

2010-09-17T18:01:00.005-04:00

Wanna see something that could make ya sick?
Stand in front of jets on the Gaza strip
I used to take puffs from a car, jet in my garage
Then I get blitzed from the charge
I felt my head swayin, my eyes in a daze
Felt and violence and off balance I got drugged for days
A room full of smog, I dipped it in my dart
then I threws it at my dog
I need another hit, Hurry, Quick! Hurry, Quick!
My high's takin signs and the shit's about to kick
I'm gaspin' for air, my vision dissapears,
I'm blinkin' and I'm thinkin'--Yeah!
Word, cause that's the shit I was hawkin
So stay the fuck away cuz I spit when I'm talkin
Stupid, Stupid, Stupid, Stupid Punk--
When I'm trippin'

Chorus

Some people like cheeba, some like brew,
I get mad lifted off four gallons of glue,
Pretty soon I spin like a top, In the middle of the room
And the shit won't stop!
Now What I see when I triiiiippppp.......
The rats in the basement all start to flip,
All through my building, from door to door,
I swear there's a fire, so I piss on the floor,
Now down the corridor was old fat Ned,
Schemin' on a blowjob from a crackhead,
He was like `hey wanna piece little man?'
I was like `Yo, I'm better off with my haaaannnndddd!!!!!!!'
Oh shit, reality returns,
I need another hit but the glue won't burn,
I'm cukoo and murderous, Just plain nuts,
smokin' sodium menthol cigarette butts,
and trippin'....

Chorus
(yo, pass it man)

86 on the strip, and yo' my hands was -------,
the reaper, the keeper, my niggaz let's get--------
----------- i put the high on the stimuli,
I'm like the two face, like the signs of gemini,
My head keeps on spinnin', constantly continuin'
Two tabs of mescaline, fucks up my adrenaline,
I'm in a----.......Uhhhh....I can't escape it,
It's like..uggghh....goddamit--I hate it!
So take it like a (brine), from the grapes of a vine,
The wine, it fucks up my mind, everytime,
I'm goin', and all I wanna be doin' is bonin',
But like a dope fiend character I'm ------,
I'm stuck, fl-fl-flipping, sssslipping..........
I'm tripping............

Life of the-----
Can be stopped by accident
When you're tripping

Even Jupiter himself cannot be in love and wise at the same time.

Dammit - Blink 182

2010-09-12T14:00:00.004-04:00

It's alright
to tell me
what you think
about me
I won't try
to argue
or hold it
against you
I know that
you're leaving
you must have
your reasons
The season
is calling
your pictures
are falling down

The steps that
I retrace
the sad look
on your face
The timing
and structure
did you hear
he fucked her?
A day late
a buck short
I'm writing
the report
On losing
and failing
when I move
I'm flailing now

And it's happened once again
I'll turn to a friend
Someone that understands
Sticks to the master plan

But everybody's gone
And I've been here for too long
To face this on my own
Well I guess this is growing up

Well I guess this is growing up

And maybe
I'll see you
at a movie
sneak preview
You'll show up
and walk by
on the arm
of that guy
And I'll smile
and you'll wave
we'll pretend
it's okay
The charade
it won't last
when he's gone
I won't come back

And it'll happen once again
You'll turn to a friend
Someone that understands
And sticks to the master plan

But everybody's gone
And you've been there for too long
To face this on your own
Well I guess this is growing up

Well, I guess this is growing up
Well, I guess this is growing up

Incubus - Stellar

2010-09-10T15:12:00.004-04:00

Meet me in outer space.
WE could spend the night;
watch the earth come up.
I've grown tired of that place;
won't you come with me?
WE could start again.
How do you do it?
Make me feel like I do.
How do you do it?
It's better than I ever knew.
Meet me in outer space.
I will hold you close,
if you're afraid of heights.
I need you to see this place,
it might be the only way that
I can show you how it feels to be inside of you.
How do you do it?
Make me feel like I do.
How do you do it?
It's better than I ever knew.
You are stellar.

Good Lord, Good Lord
Send me an angel down
Can't spare no angel

Well that new way of lovin'

For these Detroit women won't let Mr. Jack White rest
There's a crowd on the corner

One thing but the women just tryin' to get to me
I went down to the station
suitcase in my hand
All the women runnin', cryin'
Mr. Jack wont' ya be my man.
Well there was three women
yellow, brown and black
take the mayor of Detroit to pick which one I like
One of um had hamtramak yellow
One of um Detroit brown
But that southwest darkskin is sure to turn my damper down
Why, ticket agent, ticket agent
where did my baby go
tell me what she looks like I'll tell you what road she's on
Well she's a long tall mama
mile and a half from the ground
she's a tailor made mama and she ain't no hand me down
Well I used to say married woman
sweetest women ever born
you better change that thing
you better leave married women alone
take my advice, let married women, boy let um be
cause their husband will grab ya, beat ya ragged as a cedar tree
Well I got two woman

I got one in my bossom
and the other one is in my heart
well that one in my bossom
she live in tennessee
but that one in my heart well she don't give a darn for me
I'ma tell you pretty mama
exactly who I am
when I walk in that front door and hear that back door slam

Miss You - Blink 182

2010-09-09T18:33:00.004-04:00

(I miss you miss you)
Hello there the angel from my nightmare
The shadow in backround of the morgue
The unsespecting victim of darkness in the valley
We can live like Jack and Sally if we want
Where you can always find me
And we'll have Halloween on Christmas
And in the night we'll wish this never ends
We'll wish this never end

Where are you and I'm so sorry
I cannot sleep I cannot dream tonight
I need somebody and always
This sick strange darkness comes creeping on so haunting everytime
And as I stared I counted the webs from all the spiders
catching things and eating their insides
Like indecision to call you
And hear your voice of treason
Will you come home and stop this pain tonight
stop this pain tonight

Don't waste your time on me your already the voice inside my head(6x)

I miss you miss you(6x)

Where Is My Mind - Pixies

2010-09-09T13:53:00.004-04:00

Ooooooh - stop

With your feet in the air and your head on the ground
Try this trick and spin it, yeah
Your head will collapse
But there's nothing in it
And you'll ask yourself

Where is my mind [3x]

Way out in the water
See it swimmin'

I was swimmin' in the Carribean
Animals were hiding behind the rocks
Except the little fish
But they told me, he swears
Tryin' to talk to me to me to me

Where is my mind [3x]

Way out in the water
See it swimmin' ?

With your feet in the air and your head on the ground
Try this trick and spin it, yeah
Your head will collapse
If there's nothing in it
And you'll ask yourself

Where is my mind [3x]

Ooooh
With your feet in the air and your head on the ground
Ooooh
Try this trick and spin it, yeah
Ooooh
Ooooh

Gravity - John Mayer

2010-09-09T13:35:00.004-04:00

(yes, John Mayer is a douche.. but he makes some great music)

Gravity is working against me
And gravity wants to bring me down

Oh I'll never know what makes this man
With all the love that his heart can stand
Dream of ways to throw it all away

Oh Gravity is working against me
And gravity wants to bring me down

Oh twice as much ain't twice as good
And can't sustain like a one half could
It's wanting more
That's gonna send me to my knees
[repeat]

Oh gravity, stay the hell away from me
And gravity has taken better men than me (now how can that be?)

Just keep me where the light is
Just keep me where the light is
Just keep me where the light is
C'mon keep me where the light is
C'mon keep me where the light is
Oh... where the light is!

Last Dance With Mary Jane - Tom Petty

2010-09-09T13:25:00.005-04:00

She grew up in an Indiana town
Had a good-lookin' mama who never was around
But she grew up tall and she grew up right
With them Indiana boys on them Indiana nights

Well, she moved down here at the age of eighteen
She blew the boys away, was more than they'd seen
I was introduced and we both started groovin'
I said, "I dig you baby, but I got to keep movin' on"
Keep movin' on

Last dance with Mary Jane
One more time to kill the pain
I feel summer creepin' in
And I'm tired of this town again

Well, I don't know, but I've been told
You never slow down, you never grow old
I'm tired of screwin' up, tired of going down
Tired of myself, tired of this town

Oh, my my, oh, hell yes
Honey, put on that party dress
Buy me a drink, sing me a song
Take me as I come 'cause I can't stay long

Last dance with Mary Jane
One more time to kill the pain
I feel summer creepin' in
And I'm tired of this town again

There's pigeons down on Market Square
She's standin' in her underwear
Lookin' down from a hotel room
The nightfall will be comin' soon

Oh, my my, oh, hell yes
You got to put on that party dress
It was too cold to cry when I woke up alone
I hit my last number and walked to the road

Last dance with Mary Jane
One more time to kill the pain
I feel summer creepin' in
And I'm tired of this town again

Down In It - Nine Inch Nails

2010-09-09T09:25:00.006-04:00

Kinda like a cloud i was up way up in the sky.
And i was feeling some feelings you wouldn't believe.
Sometimes i don't believe them myself and i decided i was never coming
Down.
Just then a tiny little dot caught my eye.
It was just about too small to see.
But i watched it way too long.
That dot was pulling me down.
Chorus: i was up above it.
I was up above it.
I was up above it.
I was up above it.
Now i'm down in it
Shut up.
So what what does it matter now.
I was swimming in the hate now i crawl on the ground.
And everything i never liked about you is kind of seeping into me.
I try to laugh about it now but isn't it funny how everything works
Out.
I guess the jokes on me.
Chorus
I used to be so big and strong.
I used to know my right from wrong.
I used to never be afraid.
I used to be somebody.
I used to have something inside.
Now just this hole it's open wide.
Used to want it all.
I used to be somebody.
I'll cross my heart and hope to die.
But the needle's already in my eye.
And all the world's weight is on my back and i don't even know why.
And what i used to think was me is just a fading memory.
I looked him right in the eye and said "goodbye."
Chorus
Rain rain go away.
Come again some other day.
Chorus
Na na na na na na na na

Modern Man Blues

2010-09-07T11:13:00.008-04:00

Take me to another place and time for I am sure this one is corrupted. Speeding communication, capitalism that is too fickle for its own security, young women and men with no lasting concepts for relations, reverse racism, impulse communications, and the daunting list of modern day solutions and self interested mind states go on, infinities.

I am of a generation of men and women raised to believe they can do anything they put their mind to. A generation of people keeping up with the “Joneses”. Get this gadget, upgrade that item, etc. Taught to seek fulfillment through self propulsion.

Brain washed into believing that outside circumstances can fill an inner “aloneness.” Where have we lost our values? It wasn’t our parents, was it? Was it “pop culture” the same TV that preached the ideals of the “tragically hip”, the “fatally cool”? Have these ideas leaked into out our adult hood, whatever that is?

I am taking a step back. A big one.

What of the principals of honesty, openness, willingness, sacrifice, dedication, delayed gratification, conservative thinking (not politics, but thinking)? What about fulfillment in giving. Giving to ourselves, not our exterior, but our inner spirit? Have you, like so many, resigned away your values due to the corruption of religion? The “pop-cultural” trend of secularism?

Where is this going to leave us, and more importantly where is it going to leave our children, and our children’s children? Yes, there is corruption in all religion as man is corrupt by nature, but the values and lessons of these teachings are ancient and pure wisdoms.

I see myself and my peers reaching for an empty fulfillment. One of materialism and false security.

I fear my words are too strong, but it is a strong feeling within me.

My sisters, both biological and not, corrupted with an extreme interpretation of women’s lib. A generation of women that are seeking such a high level of entitlement they cannot find fulfillment in any circumstance. They have lost themselves, and become so estranged of equality they cannot see the forest for the trees.

My brothers, chasing ideals of an old time. Raised by women of fierce independence. Seeking to provide for these modern types, but expecting traditional reciprocation. Where have we left ourselves? When a good man cannot be recognized for it’s worth. When deceit and games are more effective in gaining the affection of another than being respectable?

So many modern situations that have breached the concept of simplicity.
“I have become convinced that the best lives are simple in nature.”- Albert Einstein

I find fulfillment in a simple life. Slow down people. Breath. This is real life.

Not a narrative, a movie, a drama. How far the pendulum swings from generation to generation: we need some middle ground.

I am resigning within. To contemplate more of these things.

“ I know of no other advice than this: Go within and scale the depths of your being from which your very life springs forth.”- Rilke

I am in the matrix and I want to take the “red pill.”

God guide us. Lost as we are.

Start over again
Everything happens for a reason
Good doesn't come without pain
Start over again
Everything happens for a reason

[Big Boi]
Ain't it funny how you're born and then your life begins
Just like a baby all alone, that's if you wasn't a twin
You must begin to fend for self when the umbilical's cut
The doctor put you under the heating lamp, your spirit is touched
You know what, I take that back, why? You was alive
Date of conception, interception cause the sperm did collide
From T 'n A to DNA, feelings turn to children
The morning after pill didn't put a halt to our very existance
We livin, breathin, soon we'll be teethin
Our granny got a gold and now we want one for that reason
An adolescent mind is so impressionable in those stages
But parents got to parent their kids to keep them out of cages
Cell therapists beware of this lugie that I spit
Incarceration without rehabilitation really don't mean shit
Little Ricky's home, he gotta serve probation for six months
But Uncle Donnel and Ol' Dirty Bastard still in the joint

Start over again
Everything happens for a reason
Good doesn't come without pain
Start over again
Everything happens for a reason
Start over again
Everything happens for a reason
Good doesn't come without pain
Start over again
Everything happens for a reason

[Khujo]
Good does not come without pain
Meaning, before it gets better, it's goin get worse
Like my homies on the sick side still dyin over turf
That don't belong ot urse
I mean us, left in the dust
Try to catch up with massah
I used to wanna wrap my hands around the esophagus of them crackers
But Ephesians 6:12 said it wasn't flesh and blood that we wrestle against
Principalities, powers of this world
Rulers of darkness and spiritual wickedness
In high places, so throw that whole armor of righteousness
I spark this thang, but my name ain't Bubba
I got a problem with racist cab drivers, like Glover
And brothers that wax fat an dforget all about the struggle
Yeah, come on, come on
Guess what, guess what
Time to reset this thang

[Debra Killings]
Start over again
Everything happens for a reason
Good doesn't come without pain
Start over again
Everything happens for a reason

[Cee-Lo]
Listen to me
I awaken to sunlight that's beyond bright
This day will be done right
There is a war, just waiting on the other side of the door
But I'll be bringing God to the gunfight
Can't live forever, so have some fun, right
Life's a bowl of candy, you can have one, right
You can handle if tomorrow never comes, right
You'll get used to singin if only for one night
But I intend to raise two daughters and a son right
And I couldn't have wrote this if I was hopeless
And see I focus to provoke this
So open wide for my opinionated opus
Stop playin Go Fish, but not below this
Before I go, I thought that you all should know this
Recognize and realize before any regretting
Before you relapse, perhaps you'll consider resetting
Hmm?

[Debra Killings]
Start over again
Everything happens for a reason
Good doesn't come without pain
Start over again
Everything happens for a reason

Airplanes (Feat. Hayley Williams of Paramore)

2010-09-02T10:05:00.004-04:00

Can we pretend that airplanes
In the night sky
Are like shooting stars
I could really use a wish right now (wish right now, wish right now)
Can we pretend that airplanes
In the night sky
Are like shooting stars
I could really use a wish right now (wish right now, wish right now)

Yeah
I could use a dream or a genie or a wish
To go back to a place much simpler than this
Cause after all the partyin' and smashin' and crashin'
And all the glitz and the glam and the fashion
And all the pandemonium and all the madness
There comes a time where you fade to the blackness
And when you're staring at that phone in your lap
And you hoping but them people never call you back
But that's just how the story unfolds
You get another hand soon after you fold
And when your plans unravel
And they sayin' what would you wish for
If you had one chance
So airplane airplane sorry I'm late
I'm on my way so don't close that gate
If I don't make that then I'll switch my flight
And I'll be right back at it by the end of the night

Can we pretend that airplanes
In the night sky
Are like shooting stars
I could really use a wish right now (wish right now, wish right now)
Can we pretend that airplanes
In the night sky
Are like shooting stars
I could really use a wish right now (wish right now, wish right now)

Somebody take me back to the days
Before this was a job, before I got paid
Before it ever mattered what I had in my bank
Yeah back when I was tryin' to get into the subway
And back when I was rappin' for the hell of it
But now a days we rappin' to stay relevant
I'm guessin that if we can make some wishes outta airplanes
Then maybe yo maybe I'll go back to the days
Before the politics that we call the rap game
And back when ain't nobody listened to my mix tape
And back before I tried to cover up my slang
But this is for the Cada, what's up Bobby Ray
So can I get a wish to end the politics
And get back to the music that started this sh-t
So here I stand and then again I say
I'm hopin' we can make some wishes outta airplanes

Can we pretend that airplanes
In the night sky
Are like shooting stars
I could really use a wish right now (wish right now, wish right now)
Can we pretend that airplanes
In the night sky
Are like shooting stars
I could really use a wish right now (wish right now, wish right now)

Broken Bells: October

So you showed me around your town
To hell again and back
I love the certain way that
You made all the friends that you depend on

I know it might seem odd
Because your not the only one
I remember my self as a lonely child
So I was
And you`ve got me wrong
You`ve got me wrong

(Wrong just seems so right
'til the spark of morning light
and all those searching eyes,
do they scald your tender mind?)

Remember what they say
There`s no shortcut to a dream
It`s all blood and sweat
And life is what you manage in between

But what you don`t know
Is you`re too young and eager to love
Deceiving eyes
So you`re about to get into
The ditch that you opened up

(Wrong just seems so right
'til the spark of morning light
and all those searching eyes,
do they scald your tender mind?)

So the stars align
and leave you behind
You want it sewn up
I come by light of an autumn moon

Sister you know enough
But for now just let it go
Don`t run, don`t rush
Just flow

Through the give and take you had to learn
How to cross the coals and not get burned
But you`re really just a little girl
Playing in the park until the sun goes down

Sometime you want to rise
One did it's our desire
No doubt you think you braided your own hair
So you're all grown up

Should you want to cross the line
Which way do you want to fly?
Pretend that love could help you find your way
But you've got me wrong
Yeah you've got me wrong

You make me dizzy running circles in my head
One of these days I'll chase you down
Well look who's going crazy now
We're face to face my friend
Better get out
Better get out
You know you make me break out
Make me break out
I don't want to look like that
I don't want to look like that
You know you make me break out
Make me break out
I don't want to look like that
I don't want to look like that
You know you make me break out
You can see this on my face
It's all for you
The more and more I take
I break right through
Therapy still scares me
Putting me on my back again
I may be crazy, little frayed around the ends
One of these days I'll phase you out
Burn it in the blast off
Burn it in the blast off
Watching me crawl away
Try to get out
Try to get out
You know you make me break out
Make me break out
I don't want to look like that
I don't want to look like that
You know you make me break out
Make me break out
I don't want to look like that
I don't want to look like that
Yeah Yeah
I don't want to look like that
Break out
Break out
Break out
Break out
Go, go, go
You know you make me break out
Make me break out
I don't want to look like that
I don't want to look like that
You know you make me break out
Make me break out
I don't want to look like that
I don't want to look like that
Yeah
I don't want to look like that
I don't want to look like that
You know you make me break out
Make me break out
Make me break out
Yeah

Hey, don't write yourself off yet
It's only in your head you feel left out or
looked down on.
Just try your best, try everything you can.
And don't you worry what they tell themselves when you're away.

[Chorus]
It just takes some time, little girl you're in the middle of the ride.
Everything (everything) will be just fine, everything (everything) will be alright (alright).

Hey, you know they're all the same.
You know you're doing better on your own, so don't buy in.
Live right now.
Yeah, just be yourself.
It doesn't matter if it's good enough for someone else.

[Chorus x2]
It just takes some time, little girl you're in the middle of the ride.
Everything (everything) will be just fine, everything (everything) will be alright (alright).

Hey, don't write yourself off yet.
It's only in your head you feel left out or
looked down on.
Just do your best, do everything you can.
And don't you worry what the bitter hearts are gonna say.

[Chorus x2]
It just takes some time, little girl you're in the middle of the ride.
Everything (everything) will be just fine, everything (everything) will be alright (alright).

Weezer - Memories

2010-08-31T14:06:00.005-04:00

Pissing in plastic cups before we went on stage
Playing hackey sack back when Audioslave was still Rage
Watching all the freaky Dutch kids vomit then have sex
Listening to techno music on the bus while we earned our checks

Memories make me want to go back there, back there
All the memories make me want to go back there, back there
All the memories, how can we make it back there, back there
I want to be there again

Messing with the journalists and telling stupid lies
They had a feeling that something was up
Because of the look in our eyes
In fact we didn't know what we were doing half of the time
We were so sure of ourselves and drove a long way through life

Memories make me want to go back there, back there

All the memories make me want to go back there, back there
All the memories, how can we make it back there, back there
I want to be there again

Now I got so many people that I got to look out for
I never know when I'll be called away to buy some food at the store
I can hear them babies crying and the lawn needs to be mowed
I gotta get my groove on because I'm freakin bored!

Memories make me want to go back there, back there
All the memories make me want to go back there, back there
All the memories, how can we make it back there, back there
I want to be there again

Smashing Pumpkins - 1979

2010-08-30T16:38:00.005-04:00

shakedown 1979,cool kids never have the time
on a live wire right up off the street
you and i should meet

junebug skipping like a stone
with the headlights pointed at the dawn
we were sure we'd never see an endto it all

and i don't even careto shake these zipper blues
and we don't know
just where our bones will rest
to dust i guess
forgotten and absorbedinto the earth below

double cross the vacant and the bored
they're not sure just what we have in the store
morphine city slippin dues down to see
that we don't even care as restless as we are

we feel the pull in the land of a thousand guilts
and poured cement, lamented and assured
to the lights and towns below
faster than the speed of sound

faster than we thought we'd go, beneath the sound of hope
justine never knew the rules,
hung down with the freaks and the ghouls
no apologies ever need be made, i know you better than you fake it

to see that we don't care to shake these zipper blues
and we don't know just where our bones will rest
to dust i guess
forgotten and absorbed into the earth below
the street heats the urgency of sound
as you can see there's no one around

[Black Thought]
Uh huh
uh

And it weights a ton
'riq geez motherfuckers I'm a son of a gun
Black master of any trade under the sun
Talk sharp like a razor blade under the tongue
clear my path and come get your captain hung
Trying to breath like black'll collapse your lungs
Young chump you could choke off the web I spun
I done cleared 'em out from the threat I brung
You done heard about what set I'm from
My nigga, word-a-mouth little rule-a-thumb
Y'all better bow down when the ruler come
I'm a real hood nigga not a hood-a-lum
The way Thought put it down be confusin' some of y'all
cats can't walk while chewin' your gum 'n all
With a keyboard got do with a drum 'n all
School 'em on stage like I'm doin' a seminar
Professional type, I'm adjusting my mic
Go to war kid I'll give you any weapon you like
Give you something to run from
, bust off your dum-dum
Stop kid, that hot shit you know where it come from
It's philly world-wide phenomenom
And reinforcin' that shit is my 9-to-5
And when I finish making you recognize
I'm getin' at a couple civilized women that's tryin' to ride
You were waitin' on the raw to come off the oil
You wanna get the bitches up off the wall
Just to see you smile and enjoy yourself
To keep you in health, this for all of y'all
I'm quick on the draw like Black McGraw
And I can't tell what y'all cats rappin' for

My name 'riq geez and I'm back for more
To get more chips than the corner store
with a portrait of Malcom X on the door
while I'm eatin' MCs like a carnivore
Matter fact, ease back 'fore you get harmed
Ring the, warning horn when I'm gon' perform
The first nigga that move, or disturb the goove
I'm a have y'all flicks on the evening news
Play y'all part - get on y'all P's and Q's
And when y'all think Thought, be prepared to lose
Bring money to spend and somebody to lend
And some worthwhile money not twenties and tens
Get took for your tuck right in front of your 'hens
Who coulda help you nigga, not none of ya friends
Because, I put a black fist under ya chin
Have your physical remains found under the pen
If I'm coming up in the place, I'm coming to win
Wasn't in it for a minute, now I'm dumbin' again

'riq geez ock, y'all can chat what y'all please
Receive what I'm gonna give back to y'all please
'cuz y'all don't really wanna get clapped with all these
My man, you can take y'all strap when y'all leave
You see the squad come in the place, they all freeze
Ice cold, with his mellow cool breeze
MCs, never showed loyalty yet
Kool Herc ain't never get a royalty check
I do work, no question, and bomb your set
I'm calm collect, sharp like my name Gillette
RIP my man Gillette
Until I touch the mic, y'all people ain't seen danger yet
I'm a decorated vet, I regulate and wreck
Never hesitated yet, I'm gettin' heavy weighted checks
If you would dare ask if I'm dedicated - yes
I spit, live rounds that would penetrate a vest
Nigga, take ya seats I'm a demonstrate a test
How to freak the beats, so gangsta fresh
And it thump, from the east coast to Bangladesh
Big bank, willy gank smoke the thing to death
But hold tight, cuz it's not over yet
I don't even feel like I'm not sober yet
And it ring like shots in the projects new year's eve
And it ain't even October yet
I'm a big bounty hunter like Boba Fett
Y'all more shell shocked then a soldier get
If the prize in my sights then I'm goin' for this
Whoo whoo 'riq geez be the ultimate
I'm the corporate, give me the bulk of this
'riq set it on the magnetic ultra tip
Get down how you 'posed to get
I got nothing to lose, I'm a killer with no regrets
I'm like young LL, cuz I'm hard as hell
Makin' niggaz screw face like Gargamel
Now I'm all out on my own like Patty LaBelle
Put the pimp game down on your mademoiselle

Keep the beat goin'
Keep the beat goin'

Bittersweet Symphony Lyrics

'Cause it's a bittersweet symphony, this life
Trying to make ends meet
You're a slave to money then you die
I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down
You know the one that takes you to the places
where all the veins meet yeah

No change, I can't change
I can't change, I can't change
But I'm here in my mind
I am here in my mind
But I'm a million different people
from one day to the next
I can't change my mind
No, no, no, no, no, no, no,no,no,no,no,no(fading away)

Well I never pray
But tonight I'm on my knees yeah
I need to hear some sounds that recognize the pain in me, yeah
I let the melody shine, let it cleanse my mind, I feel free now
But the airways are clean and there's nobody singing to me now

No change, I can't change
I can't change, I can't change
But I'm here in my mind
I am here in my mind
And I'm a million different people
from one day to the next
I can't change my mind
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
I can't change
I can't change it

'Cause it's a bittersweet symphony, this life
Trying to make ends meet
Trying to find some money then you die
I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down
You know the one that takes you to the places
where all the veins meet yeah

You know I can't change, I can't change
I can't change, I can't change
But I'm here in my mind
I am here in my mind
And I'm a million different people
from one day to the next
I can't change my mind
No, no, no, no, no

I can't change my mind
no, no, no, no, no,
I can't change
Can't change my body,
no, no, no

I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down
I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down
Been down
Ever been down
Ever been down
Ever been down
Ever been down
That you've ever been down
That you've ever been down

Monkey Wrench - Foo Fighters

2010-08-26T11:17:00.010-04:00

What have we done with innocence
It disappeared with time, it never made much sense
Adolescent resident
Wasting another night on planning my revenge

One in ten, One in ten, One in ten

Don't want to be your monkey wrench
One more indecent accident
I'd rather leave than suffer this
I'll never be your monkey wrench

All this time to make amends
What do you do when all your enemies are friends
Now and then I'll try to bend
Under pressure wind up snapping in the end

One in ten, One in ten, One in ten

Don't want to be your monkey wrench
One more indecent accident
I'd rather leave than suffer this
I'll never be your monkey wrench

(temper)

One last thing before I quit
I never wanted any more than I could fit
Into my head I still remember every single word
You said and all the shit that somehow came along with it
Still there's one thing that comforts me since I was
Always caged and now I'm free

Don't want to be your monkey wrench
One more indecent accident
I'd rather leave than suffer this
I'll never be your monkey wrench

Don't want to be your monkey wrench (fall in, fall out)
Don't want to be your monkey wrench (fall in, fall out)
Don't want to be your monkey wrench (fall in, fall out)
Don't want to be your monkey wrench
