Where's my wit?

Where'd did all my old-time wit go to? Yes i will call it wit although that may at this time be the wrong word. Or at least, if i still possess it in cyber-land, why don't i ahev such good sporadic wit? I don't understand!! For example, last year i came up with (and yes i realise this is cyber):

Any comments? good or Bad i accept all exempting the bad. Those i spit upon with the foulest of my spit and then trapple on the spittled words that have come form your hand in the foulest of foul contempt. Hahaha. The good go up on my trophies shelf. They'll make me feel warm and fuzzy inside.

Only the good die young . . . make of that what you will, i need sleep.

A Poem

I was going to write a poem
But what really rhymes with poem?
Well now it is screwed, my poem
So I guess I won't write a poem

Awesome Lyrics

I think it's time i shared some inspirational lyrics with you from great songs i know. so, without any further ado, i present:

Relient K - Yes relient k is spelt wrong, it's deliberate

More than Useless: Awesome lyrics when you feel useless! Not much more to say of this one.

Whats the purpose? It feels worthless So unwanted like I've lost all my value I can't find it, not in the least bit and I'm just scared, so scared that I'll fail you And sometimes I think that I'm not any good at all And sometimes I wonder why, why I'm even here at all But then you assure me I'm a little more than useless And when I think that I can't do this You promise me that I'll get through this And do something right Do something right for once

Very cool 'cos as you'll see i love lyrics that hit the nail on the head, like these ones.

Bite my tongue: Again lyrics which hit the nail on the head for someone like who has trouble thinking before they speak.

And sometimes I say things that I wish that I could take back The most crucial thing I lack is the thing called "tact"And if you're always so intently listening Then the smartest thing to say Is to tell myself not to say a thing Yeah I gotta keep quiet quiet Don't let it all come undone 'Cause if I dare open my mouth It'll just be to bite my tongue To bit my tongue

Life After Death and Taxes: Just a nice, heavenly message. For one of the faith, very reassuring.

Never forget there's life after death and taxes Forgiveness come and all of the rest is what passes away Death and decay can't touch us now

Also a Nice little bit of typical relient k humour even in a not so cheerful song with the whole 'and taxes' thing.

Apathetic Way To Be: You really need the whole picture to appreciate these lyrics i think, but they're just a little observation on human attitudes really. Plus i like the word apathetic

So take a wild guess It's like I just couldn't care less If all the things you find impressive Just blew up and made those messes That you'll frantically repair Like it's a life or death affair And all the while you're unaware For this, you really shouldn't care But it's so hard to see the reality That the end will be the end of things And our hearts are all we get to bring So let's go ahead and make them worth something

Paul Colman Trio

Move On: Spot on lyrics here. I love people who can make words sound nice but say something so well as well, don't you? Anyway, just like these lyrics, can't voice why, it's just all in my head with no output

Time it won't wait 'til we're ready to say surrender And there's no time like tonight to let it all go So take all your pain and let it go Do you want to know the truth? he said Or are you happy with the lies?'Cause I know a story sounds complete Until you hear the other side

Dear God: Ha again spot on lyrics. Plus it's its a pretty cool tune (all thee songs are, juts some are getting special mention :D ) I agree totally with this song, and the whole thing's going up here, because it's not too long

Dear God I don't understand What you're doing If you're real and you're in control You must see the path we're choosing And I don't understand but somehow I believe It's all in your hands Yeah but I don't believe in a God who gives More of his love to those who say they believe And I've read your book and I think (know) it says It's not what you say but it's how you live Dear God How your name's been used to justify treason And although it hurts me to say Sometimes the enemy's religion

Billy Joel

Vienna : Really just a cool tune, but there are some good lyrics. Really, just, i dunno why i like them, so anyway

Slow down you crazy child Take the phone off the hook And disappear for a while It's lright you can afford to lose a day or two When will you realize...Vienna waits for you

The Who

Baba O'Riley: One line i think is very cool from this song

. . . I don't need to fight To prove I'm right . . .

that's right we don't! End all violence and win with wit and intelligence, it's the best way.

DC Talk - Direct Christian Talk, in case you were wondering

What have we become: Wow, nearly is my art project in words . . . or the general idea, nearly. Still this is a fantastic song deploring the state of humanity. Just now I've come to think that while I'm sure we're not more corrupt than previous generations, maybe this song implies what we've become since the fall? Either way, great lyrics and music

What have we become? A self indulgent people What have we become? Tell me where are the righteous ones? What have we become? In a world degenerating What have we become? . . . What about love? What about God? What about holiness? What about mercy, compassion and selflessness?

Mind's eye: PERFECT lyrics about faith in an invisible God. There's the whole 'wind' thing running throughout, but because it's a great image. Anyway, i just love this song, i love songs which agree with me and my ideas

Can you catch the wind? See a breeze?I ts presence is revealed by The leaves on a tree An image of my faith in the unseen . . . In my mind's eye I see Your face You smile as you show me grace In my mind's eye You take my hand We walk through foreign lands The foreign lands of life

Origins

Know the phrase, wait for the other shoe to drop? Apparently there's an interesting story behind this particular phrase.
An inn dweller is dead tired when he returns to his room late at night. As he begins to undress, he removes a shoe and drops it on the floor. Realizing that the big thud must have woken up the fellow in the room below, he takes off the other shoe and puts it down gently. After a considerable time a voice screams from the room under him, "For God's sake, drop the other shoe! I want to go back to sleep!"
Thanks to Anu Garg and his AWAD email subscription! It's awesome.

Excellent!

It seems i hvae run out of my excellent topics for blogging for the moment. I have no more of the world to ponder. Well no that's a lie, because i have SO MUCH of the world to ponder i wish i could devote my time solely to it. But i have nothing i want to bore you with, because i've given you brief run down on most things i wish to share.
While i'm here though, aren't children excellent? So innocent and cute. 3-7 year olds are particularly sweet. Just an example . . . how would you draw blessing? I wouldn't have the faintest idea, but a little girl i know just drew a big heart. I thought that epitomized it so well. Well, that's my thought for today. Not very exciing, i'm working on something else though. . .you'll see. For the time being:

What Have We Become?

Hey guys - our society/generation isn't any more corrupted than previous societies/generations. They were just better at hiding it than us. If you don't believe me you need to read more, because as one of my favourite guys to quote has said:

The reading of all good books is like a conversation with the finest men of past centuries.

-Rene Descartes, philosopher and mathematician (1596-1650)

and any conversation is going to hint at some sort of corruption - it's impossbile to avoid it. Seriously though, if you don't believe me read books - the Bible is an excellent place to start but of course if you don't believe it that will be a problem so then i suggest you read Biographies on some historical figures. As an aside, biographies are not boring as i think they are stereotypically wont to be - not if you read a good one. Any way, they're my words of wisdom for the day. Have a good one!

Mystery

Mystery all my life has been a mystery
You and i were never ever meant to be
Its why i call my love for you a mystery
Different country, you and i have always lived in a different country
and i know that airline tickets dont grow on a tree
So what kept us apart is plain for me to see
That much at leats is not a mystery
Estuary i live in a house boat on an estuary
Which is handy for my work with the 'Thames Water Authority'
But i know you would have found it insanitry, insanitry
Taken a violent dislike to me
I'd be foolish to ignore the possiblilty
That if we'd ever actually met you might have hated me
Still thats not the only problem that i can see
Dead since 1973 you've been dead now wait a minute let me see
15 years come next January
As a human being you are history
So why do i still long for why is my love so strong for you why did i write
this song for you
well i guess its just a mystery

I just thought i would share this with you today, its time to lighten up my blog and i'm not funny enough to so i let the master comedians do it for me. If you wanna see this thing performed - which is much better - just click here

Election Frenzy and the worm. . .

By process of elimination, it's labour. Or at least it would be. If i could vote. And it would be pointless not to in my area anyway. Australia seems to think so too - the worm certainly does. Mind you 90 people isn't much of a representation, and they're probably all working class Rudd-lovers. Which a lot of the country has actually become, it's not just the worm proving this to us. HCNeilson/Herald polls all through the year have shown Kevin Rudd's popularity to be spiking, becoming the most popular oppositional candidate ever, but just what makes him so likable? Because it is that he's more likable. It's been shown that John Howard has approval, but Rudd is just more popular. And it is just Rudd right? Not Labour as a party? Of course it is! People are voting as though we vote for a person (like in America) not a party. Now, if we had Kim Beasley or oh dear i can't even rememebr the other guy's name leading Labour, would they be so tops on polls? Certainly other factors are at work in government unpopularity - i admit Peter Costello's continued prescence isn't the biggest winning factor for the government - but overall i think i must conclude that Rudd's personage is the biggest factor in people saying they'll vote labour. Work Choices certainly hasn't helped Johny and his possie, but he always has the strong economy to balance that out - and the promise of further tax cuts.
Personally, if i were voting, i would want more promised than a strong economy though. Sure it's a good thing, but our health system certainly needs a boost, and education could profit from some more care as well, let alone the Aboriginal community, which just makes the whole country look so hypocritical when it comes to human rights - oh and there's mandatory detention which is a big turn off. And for others of course climate change action would be an issue but i'm not so fussed about that.
I'm not saying Labour's sure to win. That's ridiculous, they still need some amount of swing you know! Those people who just vote for Liberal because the countrie's good at the moment and don't like to think of change are not likely to be won over if they're not already as well. But it will be an interesting campaign, and Federal politics is so much more interesting than State, such that this won't be, "Oh we all think Labour will win, yeah they'll win, the votes say Labour wins and stays in and oh look at that Labour won!" Yep, i'd be watching that election-coverage-space.
Unless you dont like politics, in which case you shouldn't be reading this.

I'm in the depths of despair. . . .or was. . .in a way

Meaningless, meaningless, everything is meaningless.

Or so the old book of Ecclesiastes goes. And a while ago i found myself slipping into this state of mind. I mean really, what's life's point? Everyday spent futilely doing work that will only help us get work, that will help us get money to survive, and then we die, after a mere 80years or so. Believe me, when you're thinking this, it seems a lot worse, and unless you believe in something more, something bigger than us, something that's got something more in store for us after this life, you'd probably end up a bit depressed. Which is why i don't get how people can just live thinking this is all there is, with only the big bang theory and evolution as reasons for how we got where we are today. I won't get into those THEORIES though, because they are so RIDICULOUS and so FLAWED compared to the certainty and sure hope one can have when trusting the omniscient, omnipresent, and omnipotent God. I mean, NOT beliveing in life after death (and taxes) has to be the most depressing thing ever, expecially when that life will be perfect, and in God's presence.
Anyway, a thought. Consider it!

It makes me want to scream

Read the paper later? Seen the news? Talked to someone? EVERYONE 'knows' that Global warming and climate 'change' is a big problem - a problem we caused - and that we need to fix it.

HA.

Seriously, if people are just going to blindly believe Al Gore and all those stupid scientists that say we can fix what 'we caused' by just changing a light globe and planting a tree, thats their problem, but it makes me want to scream every time i see soemone express this ignorant view. All their 'evidence' is pretty dodgy. For one thing, when scientist, media etc cite that the biggest amount of greehouse gas is CO2, they're choosing to ignore the fact that water vapour really contibutes (dont cite this its not exact) something like 99.99% to greenhosue gases. I may be off by 1%. . .

And anyway, shouldn't everyone know that the amount of CO2 produced by our cars is nothing compared to the amount realeased naturally by the ocean and volcanoes? Walking to work for a day won't do anyone good - except your heart, maybe.

That's a short excert of my opinon on this matter, and not half of it is off my chest. And if you're thiking i'm not an Al Gore fan, you're right. Geez he needs to talk to some real scientists/people who know what they're talkign about. I close with a statement by Professor Patrick Michaels, Department of Environmental SciencesUniversity of Virginia and a link to a good site (i lost my other good site, otherwise you'd have two.)

Anyone who goes around and says that carbon dioxide is responsible for most of
the warming of the 20th century has not look at the basic numbers.

I can't be bothered to hyperlink it sorry, but definately copy and paste and chekc it out - it's awesome, especially as no one ever bothers to discuss the alternate side to this debate, the true side.
