Oh, What will it be, what will it be,
that goes sighing through bedrooms that goes whispering poems and songs that goes combining all things that goes into their heads and into the mouths; goes down the alleys that is yelling in the hallways; it is nature composed piece by piece, what will it be that has not been fixed and it will not because it's never been true and will never be ... because there is no one there to measure it.

What will it be, what will it be, that lives in the ideas of enthusiasts, that sing the most delirious poets; in drunken prophets who swear; that it is where bored amputees; it is where the unhappy can imagine; Who is in each day in each crisis; Sleeping between bandits and the helpless. By all accounts, what will it be; which has no decency, and it will never have, cannot be prohibited and it will never be... Because it makes no sense.

Oh, What will it be, what will it be
that no precaution sign can stop, laughing because all it wants is to laugh; and all the bells are going to announce; and the anthem of anthems will consecrate, and all roads will lead you to it, and all destinations will join there; that God himself can hardly prevent it. And heaven and hell will bless it, because it had no law, nor will it ever; nor has it felt fear nor will it ever... because it has no character.

Oh, What will it be, what will it be, Oh, What will it be, what will it be, Oh, What will it be, what will it be, Oh, What will it be, what will it be.; 7/24/09, 10:43 PM

Saved by Zero

Maybe, someday
Saved by zero
I’ll be more together
Stretched by fewer
Thoughts that leave me
Chasing after
My dreams disown me

Loaded with danger
Maybe I’ll win
Saved by Zero
Holding onto
Words that teach me
I will conquer
Space around me

Maybe I’ll win
Saved by zero

Maybe I’ll win
Saved by zero.; 7/24/09, 11:06 PM

Back To Black

He left no time to regret
Kept his *keys* wet
With his same old safe bet
Me and my head high
And my tears dry
Get on without my guy
You went back to what you knew
So far removed from all that we went through
And I tread a troubled track
My odds are stacked
I'll go back to black

We only said good-bye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to.....

I go back to us..; 7/24/09, 11:26 PM

Gimme Shelter - Meat Loaf

Oh, a storm is threatning
My very life today
If I dont get some shelter
Oh yeah, Im gonna fade away

War, children, its just a shot away
Its just a shot away
War, children, its just a shot away
Its just a shot away

Ooh, see the fire is sweepin
Our very street today
Burns like a red coal carpet
Mad bull lost its way

War, children, its just a shot away
Its just a shot away
War, children, its just a shot away
Its just a shot away.; 7/25/09, 12:07 AM

rhhardin said...: Ohio unusual excitement yesterday, the neighbor has a garage sale.

I've never seen such a collection of new SUVs out front.

It may be a women's driving club.; 7/25/09, 4:30 AM
J. Cricket said...: Rush Limbaugh is a big fat idiot!

And he's not the only one. Hehe.; 7/25/09, 8:31 AM
Ann Althouse said...: Rush is pretty thin now. Bet he's thinner than you, Juris.; 7/25/09, 9:02 AM
Beth said...: Good for Rush; but being fat never made him an idiot.; 7/25/09, 9:10 AM
NotWhoIUsedtoBe said...: Here's a question that's bothered me since I was a child: why is it that the newer art is, the more creepy-looking it becomes?

Totally subjective, but why is so much art grotesque?; 7/25/09, 9:18 AM
Bissage said...: Disliking someone or disagreeing with someone and calling them an “idiot” is a tacit admission of powerlessness and defeat.

There’s nothing so very wrong with that, really, in the grand scheme of things.

Everyone is powerless and defeated -- and an idiot, although some more than others.; 7/25/09, 9:29 AM
bagoh20 said...: Yea John,

What happened to that trite old concept we used to call beauty?

I always end up putting photos on my wall because most stuff is just attempting to bug me into looking at it. Everybody wants to paint a wart on the forehead, so you will look at it.; 7/25/09, 11:10 AM
rhhardin said...: Mail from Bike Nashbar, your credit card info may have been compromised...

That explains the odd charges on Air India, the Great Britain Skype calls and the traveler's checks.

www.nashbar.com, great for bike parts.

They're offering us 30% off the next order, on their new hosting service.; 7/25/09, 12:14 PM

Because we are degenerate.; 7/25/09, 3:20 PM
