• Song Lyrics – The White Stripes – We’re Going To Be Friends

  Date: 2009.08.31 | Category: Friends, Music, Quotes | Response: 1

  Just got back from Florida.

  Recently had this song stuck in my head. It seemed relevant to me.

  The White Stripes – We’re Going To Be Friends

  fall is here, hear the yell
  back to school, ring the bell
  brand new shoes, walking blues
  climb the fence, book and pens
  i can tell that we are gonna be friends

  walk with me, suzy lee
  through the park, by the tree
  we will rest upon the ground
  and look at all the bugs we’ve found
  then safely walk to school
  without a sound

  well here we are, no one else
  we walked to school all by ourselves
  there’s dirt on our uniforms
  from chasing all the ants and worms
  we clean up and now it’s time to learn

  numbers, letters, learn to spell
  nouns, and books, and show and tell
  at playtime we will throw the ball
  back to class, through the hall
  teacher marks our height against the wall

  and we don’t notice any time pass
  we don’t notice anything
  we sit side by side in every class
  teacher thinks that i sound funny
  but she likes the way you sing

  tonight i’ll dream while i’m in bed
  when sill thoughts go through my head
  about the bugs and alphabet
  and when i wake tomorrow i’ll bet
  that you and i will walk together again
  cause i can tell that we
  are going to be friends

• Watchmen – Excellent

  Date: 2009.07.20 | Category: Books, Movies, Quotes | Response: 6

  I just finished watching the Director’s Cut of Watchmen.

  Holy.

  Shit.

  I read the comic years back and loved it. The dark and gritty story. The everyman super hero. I loved everything about it. It was such a change of pace from your normal black and white super hero story.

  The movie added even more to that. The directors cut didn’t shy away from any of the nasty bits either. That’s what I loved. It showed the absolutely most vile aspects of the story for exactly what they were, and said “This is your reality. It’s ugly. Deal with it.”

  At 3:06 from Opening to End of Credits it was a long ass movie. It was absolutely worth it.

  If you like action, can stomach some very graphic sex, violence, and EXTREMELY morally questionable behavior, then I recommend this for you.

  If the thought of watching someone get their arms cut off, or a dog eating a little girl makes you squeamish, then maybe this isn’t the one for you.

  If you have the stomach to see it through you’ll be rewarded with an excellent and thought provoking story, beautiful cinemtography, and HOT latex suit action courtesy of Malin Akerman playing Silk Spectre. Do yourself a favor and google search it.

  Also. Boobs!

  I’ll leave you with one of my favorite quotes from the movie:

  None of you seem to understand.
  I’m not locked in here with you…
  YOU’RE LOCKED IN HERE WITH ME!!
  -Rorschach

  Quote of the day upon waking up in San Francisco:

  I love when my drunk self does stuff to help out my sober self.
  -Burns

  This after waking up to find my shoes where they normally are, my cell phone plugged in and charging, my laptop plugged in and charging, and my contacts removed and in their case.

  I don’t know how all of these things happened as I have no memory of them, but drunk self, thank you!

• Handgun Concealed Carry Permit

  Date: 2009.06.14 | Category: Quotes | Response: 3

  I’m taking the class for the NC Concealed Carry Permit. I’m thinking of a 9mm CZ P-07 Duty. Marv says he loves his, and it’s pretty light.

  Anyway, the instructor for this class is pretty awesome.  Here is a typical exchange between student and instructor.

  Student: So the Habitation Defense says  once he crosses your threshold and starts stealing your stuff, you CAN’T shoot him. What if he starts coming at you with a screwdriver.

  Instructor: Light Him Up!! In that case you meet the 4 prongs of the Use of Deadly Force in Self Defense Common Law.

  Awesome. I love that the precise definition of the law comes with color commentary. Perfect.

  Today I’m off to fire rounds at different distances under timed conditions. Wish me luck.

  I’ve added a new category for quotes. I always come across good ones, and I’d like to share.

  Let’s think the unthinkable, let’s do the undoable, let’s prepare to grapple with the ineffable itself, and see if we may not eff it after all.

  It’s been a little while since I’ve posted random song lyrics. If you haven’t heard of this song Sowing Season by Brand New I recommend that you do.

  Was losing all my friends
  Was losing them to drinking and to driving
  Was losing all my friends and I got them back

  I am on the mend
  At least now I can say that I am trying
  And I hope you will forget the things I still lack

  Yeah
  Yeah

  Is it in you now?
  To bare to hear the truths that you were spoken
  Twisted up by knaves
  In a trap for fools

  Is it in you now?
  To watch the things you gave your life to broken
  You stoop and build them up with worn out tools

  Yeah

  Nothing gets so bad
  A whisper from your father couldn’t fix it
  Your whispers like a bridge, he’s a river span

  Take all that you have
  and turn it into something you were missing
  Somebody threw that brick
  And shattered all your plans

  Yeah

  Time to get the seeds and put them in the cold ground
  It takes a while to grow anything
  Before its coming to the end yeah

  Before you put my body in the cold ground, take some time to warm it with your hands
  Before it’s coming to an end, yeah

  It’s coming to an end

  Do you miss the blend
  Of colors she left in your black and white field
  Do you feel condemned just being there?

  I am not your friend
  I am just a man who knows how it feels

  I am not your friend
  I am not your lover
  I am not your family

  Yeah

  Time to get the seeds and put them in the cold ground
  It takes a while to grow anything
  Before it’s coming to the end yeah
