Another sleepless night
A concrete paradise
Sirens screaming in the heat
Neon cuts the eye
As the jester sighs
At the world beneath his feet

It's a gutter ballet
Just a menagerie
Still the orchestra plays
On a dark and lonely night
To a distant fading light

Balanced on their knives
Little parts of lives
Such a strange reality
Kill the unicorn
Just to have its horn
Soon he's just a fantasy

It's a gutter ballet
Just a menagerie
Still the orchestra plays
On a dark and lonely night
To a distant fading light

The jester takes his bows
Slips into the crowd
As the actors fade away
Another death to mourn
Another child is born
Another chapter in the play

It's a gutter ballet
Just a menagerie
Still the orchestra plays
On a dark and lonely night
To a distant fading light

Hello Purveours of cynical humor, Friends, Family, and just silly people!

Today I Finally got fed up enough to blog about how America has destroyed common sense! ( If you believe you have common sense still give yourself a hand as your one of the few it seems)

Anyways, I feel it a sad state of affairs when we as a people,race,species, has to go around putting little tags, warnings, and labels on every thing we create or find on this planet!    How really stupid does one have to be to not understand that putting a chainsaw next to ones genitalia is not conductive to a long life??!(yes he will be the first on my list btw)

So now I have decided to create a simple list of people who shouldnt breed, as if they stop I feel all these silly labels warnings and stupidity markers (lets face it folks thats what they are, stupidity markers) will stop as well. On a side note I have patitioned the proper channels to create a moron breeding alert system, whereas an alarm goes off whenever a moron drops their pants with the intentions of breeding , and a swat team arives on the scene and beats said culprit with dead salmons till they get all notions of breeding out of their cobwebed fogged brain cavatiy.(sad to say it but funding for such an alarm system is poorly under funded please donate!) 

 So I present to you a list of those who should be marked for non breeding, until we either develop a brain transplant procedure, or they die!

1: If you have ever wore chainsaw panties to see if it "tickled" please dont breed! (not that you can but just in case!)

2:If you ever sat on a jury, and decided Yeah! that dumb old lady who spilt coffee on herself does deserve a million or three! Please dont breed!    

3:if you agree with one of those jurours, once again , please dont breed!

4:If you think  this Country was founded  to protect your right to shop! please dont breed!

5: If after seeing Jackass you decide its your patiotic duty to launch rockets out of your ass, again I say, dont breed!

6: If after your 5,672 visit to Hot Topic you decide that vampires do exist,they all live in California,(L.A. doesnt count as everyone there is a vamp of some sort trust me on this one folks) , and,you might be one.Please dont breed!

7:If you drive a 4x4 S.U.V and slow down for a speed bump. please dont breed!

8:If living in Iowa(be glad I am not saying Iwoans dont breed period.come on its IOWA Folks!) Anyways, if you have ever visited those purina stock feed/porn stores or are known as a reg at one.You probably arent breeding, but why take the chance eh?

9:If your the type to blame all our problems on tv, video games, and music.If you did breed shame on you!

10: If your any type of Wasington Politician DONT F'in BREED!

Feel free to add to this list and if its good enough I will add it in !

I went to see Flags of Our Fathers tonight. before I go on with my entry, take a moment to really look at the picture in my header. We as Americans have seen it a thousand times or more, now stop and look at it and think what does it mean to you as a person? What emotions does it instill in you?
   I sat in the theatre watching the movie and thought to myself We as a country have really gone downhill. We are so concerned about what we want and need for ourselves, that we tend to forget  about all the others in our country and even the world around us.
 Back in 1945 that one picture brought a country on the edge together, it instilled hope in us, it instilled faith that we as a country were doing the right thing. People gave to the war bond effort, people worked harder and took the time to help one another out , to go that extra yard so to speak to make things work.
 That picture to me represents humanitys steadfastness in the sight of insurmountable odds. it still says here is hope, here is faith.only three of the six men in that Photo made it off Iwo Jima alive. Were they hero's? thats debatable. they were there doing a Job, I believe they were heros, for the simple fact, that They had the courage to stand up for what they believed in , They fought and gave their lives so others like you and me could have, all we have now.
  How many of us actually get out and stand firm for what we believe in anymore? We say we will do something and sometimes we do. But for the most part, we get to busy with our daily lives and forget what we believe in or at the least push it aside and say to ourselves, I will get to it later.
 Do I think we as a country can pull together as we used to and stand tall and firm in what we as a nation first believed in? I would like to say yes, but I have my doubts, We will never be the country we once were, Money is our god now and until we shake it we Shall never be the same
 on a side note, at the end of the film as the credits were rolling, everyone who got up rushing to leave and get on with their busy lives, paused in their tracks as The real photo's of Iwo Jima and the men who were there scrolled by, Everyone stood in silence and let those photo's sink into thweir minds and souls. It was good to see the respect shown for once, and even sways my opinion on hope for this country.

Thank you all who have served in any campain for standing up for your convictions and giving so that others may have. Take a moment, any who read this and think about why you are actually able to sit in your cumfy office chair and read this on your home pc, and after it sinks in give a moment of silent thanks for those who gave and still do...

In my head there's only you now
This world falls on me
In this world there's real and make believe
And this seems real to me

[Chorus]
You love me but you dont know who I am
I'm tore between this life I lead and where I stand
And you love me but you dont know who I am
So let me go
Let me go

I dream ahead to what I hope for
And I turn my back on loving you
How can this love be a good thing
When I know what I'm goin through

In my head there's only you now
This world falls on me
In this world there's real and make believe
And this seems real to me

[Chorus]
You love me but you dont know who I am
I'm tore between this life I lead and where I stand
You love me but you dont know who I am
So let me go
Just Let me goo...
Let me go

And no matter how hard I try
I can't escape these things inside I know
I knowww..
When all the pieces fall apart
You will be the only one who knows
Who knows

[Chorus]
You love me but you dont know who I am
I'm tore between this life I lead and where I stand
And you love me but you dont know Who I am
So let me go
Just let me go

and you me but you dont
you love me but you dont
you love me but you dont know who I am
and you love me but you dont
you love me but you dont
you love me but you dont know me

Your face, is burned inside my brain
(I lost my way)
Your taste, of skin flows through my veins
(The cost I pay)

'Cause you'll never understand me
You want me to stay

You're ca-ca-ca-calling
But I can't hear you
I'm not listening anymore
You're subject to falling
But I can't save you
I don't see you anymore

The race of slowing down the pace
(I found a way)
The pace of speaking so mundane
(The sound of gain)

But you'll never make me happy
So I've extinguished the flame

You're ca-ca-ca-calling
But I can't hear you
I'm not listening anymore
You're subject to falling
But I can't save you
I don't see you anymore

And what you want me to say, I'll never say
You're playing the game, that I'll never play
So what do you want from me
Now I've extinguished the flame

You're ca-ca-ca-calling
But I can't hear you
I'm not listening anymore
You're subject to falling
But I can't save you
I don't see you anymore

You're ca-ca-ca-calling
But I can't hear you
I'm not listening anymore
You're fa-fa-fa-falling
But I can't save you
I don't see you anymore

here is a short story that was roaming around my head, enjoy..........

 

 He woke early that morning knowing it was his last.Looking down he could see the frosty breath of his beloved as she slept her peaceful slumber. He had not the heart to wake her or his children just yet.so he sat and sharpened his blade, getting lost in the firey sparks that brought back memory after memory of a cherrished and lucky life he was blessed to have.

  She awoke with a start and stared into his eyes, no words need be spoken for their love went beyond mere words. She removed herself from bed and walked across the small room running her hands through his tussled hair and kissing him on the forhead, as she prepared to get his last meal on this earth ready for him.

 As she cooked he sat and stared, into the fires blaze and remembered all the good things life had brought for him, how they met, how beautiful she was as she gave birth to their wonderful children, and every time a mental I love you passed between them.

  The children stirred and he went to them taking both of them a boy and a girl up into his arms all at once. His daughter giggled at his massive bear hug he brought forth and His son always the sour one, groaned and tried to squirm away for the food that was one the table.

  Breakfast was a silent affair, as looks were gently tossed around the table and all were lost in thoughts. The children saw their fathers sword by the door and knew it was a serious day. All he could think and wonder on was if they would ever understand why he was leaving and what it meant for their futures.

  The time came all too soon for him to leave and with heavy heart he grabbed his loved ones in his arms and spent a moment or two with each one reassuring and just loving all that they were. he wished he would have actually married Ingrid, but it always seemed like there would be time for that in the future. No regrets though as he knew that the love they shared was by far, more important than some script sanctioned by any church or Diety. He held her tight trying to convey all the love he had for her past present and future into that hug and gentle kiss, looked one last time at his beloved family, gathered up his sword and closed the door forever.

 The other villagers were already there and waiting, ready to set out for the coming battle, some grim faced set and determined, others jovial and bragging about the mighty heroic deeds they would perform this day.

He said to the others a simple thing " heros are not made by the acts they do, but by the ideas they cherrish and fight for." and set out on the road never again to look upon the village and family he cherrished so much.

  As his sword swung time and time again slicing through any who happened in its way, all he could think of was how much war and peace intertwined, that fatal balance, where peace can only be earned by the grim deeds of war. As he looked around and watched lifelong friends fall before the might of the opposing invaders, it saddened him and even moreso angered him that Humans as a race would never ever be satisfied with what they had, but would always struggle and try to take more than their fair share in life. As his anger rose he swung hardr and faster, taking on all who opposed him, spilling that precious fluid that courses through every mans veins although some thinner than others.

  Afternoon fell and many had fled or died on both sides, he was cut and wounded badly but refused to stop till he knew all that he loved and cherrished in his short life was safe for at least a little while longer.

the piles of bodies around him was a tribute to his ideas that day, and he knew he had only one deed left to do as he saw the invaders mighty king stalk towards him. The challenge left his mouth like a death knell issuing forth from a church bell, and the King stopped a moment and took pause, saw the wounded bleeding man in fromt of him and knew he was in for a Fight either way.

This King wanted what this man had, in the emptiness that was the kings soul, he could never ever fill it no matter how much he killed or how much spoils of war he partook of. Ogrim for Ogrim was his name, looked at this King and knew he was an empty shell of a man and would never expirience all the joys he had enjoyed in his short life. Ogrim pittied this man, but knew what need be done.

  Their swords clashed and sparks flew, and cuts deep and unrelenting were made by both souless King and loving man. the day ground on as both men fought for their very lives, and one fought for the lives of others while the King fought for what he claimed should be his by birth right.two swings latter and the king fell to his knees gutted by Ogrim. Looking up hatred and bitterness in his eyes for being defeated by a mere common man he let out a little grin and died alone without anyone who truely cared to mourn his passing.

  Ogrim looked around and saw the enemy fleeing at the loss of their king, and pondered what that last grin was for. Until, he looked down and saw his life flowing forth from his stomach. He lurched and fell to the ground, amazed there was no pain, only peace, and as he lay down and watched the sun sink in all its vibrant colors that only a Diety himself could paint, he pondered if what he had done today was worthwhile............As he lay dying and the taste of Ingrid came to his lips, and the thoughts of his children playing and learning and expiriencing life one day or one year more, he gasped with his last breath and whispered , thank  you my loved ones for all you have given me,yes it was worth it and there he died.........................
