Oh i forgot there was a 2 yr old who was the best guitar player on the planet

I just had the weirdest dream. I was on the beach at some club thing but it was.daytime There was a stadium next to it. Apparently there was a costume contest because randome people (christy gough) were dressed up. So i was out on the beach mingling and i could see in the building christy was arguing with someone. She came outside and said 'i really need to talk' so we went over next to the building. All of a sudden this HUGE HUGE wind came up. There was a girl on the balcony above us with a huge red and purp'e hat costume on and it blew out into the ocean. Everyone 'awwd' then suddenly i was walkin down the sind of the building by the stadium and the radiostation was setting up for their upcoming live broadcast. Parker posey was the dj. Amanda jackson was in the audience. So i watched the warm up. Then suddenly i was over a some girls house and we were about to watch tv. She had to go outside for something znd i stayed in. I noticed they had this huge tv on its side. It slowly started to close up like an accordian until it was about 6 in tall and the screen was gone. Then her mom came in and was lecturing her about doinf her work the 'walsh' way. Then i was back out on the beach gettin ready to go fishing. I was upset because i left my fav lure at home. Anyway i cast out into the water and suddenly i was swimmin. I was in the middle of what i thought were scooling shad but they turned into this huge school of dolphins. There were more further out so i swam to them. as o was on my way out, penguins swam all around me. Then i made it to where the dolphins were and i looked up and an old wwII plane was crashing in the water. It came about 6 inches from me. then i realized how far out i had swam and started panicking that i would drown. Then i woke up.

MUG shots

Monday September 11, 2006 Previous | Next

Dear Yahoo!:
Why is a police booking photo called a "mug shot"?
Bobby
Tallahasse, Florida

Dear Bobby:
A mug shot is "a photograph of a person's face, especially one made for police files." According to Wikipedia, the word "mug" is 18th-century British slang for "face." Wikipedia says, "Another source suggests the term comes from mug, as in grimace, because early subjects would try to reduce their mugshot's value for later identification by grimacing or otherwise twisting their facial muscles (mugging)."
OK, but how did a face come to be known as a "mug"? Over on the Wordsmith.org message boards, one post says: "According to Webb Garrison in "Why You Say It," beer mugs of the late 18th century were often shaped like human heads, and a not especially attractive person often bore a resemblance to a face on a mug. As a result, a face came to be called a mug."

A Word Detective column corroborates this: "It was common in the 17th and 18th centuries to decorate drinking mugs with grotesque caricatures of human faces, and by the early 1700's "mug" had become a popular slang term for "face."

Whatever the origin, we know one thing: Some mug shots are mandatory viewing.

Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo

Possibly the weirdest sentence in the English language is: “Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo”.

It takes a bit to understand this, so let’s build up from simple stuff. First, suppose that dogs chase cats, who then chase mice. Another way of saying this is:

“Cats that dogs chase, chase mice”

But the comma and the word “that” aren’t technically needed, so we can say:

“Cats dogs chase chase mice”.

But cats also chase other cats, so we could say:

“Cats dogs chase chase cats”.

And they can be chased by other cats too:

“Cats cats chase chase cats”.

Step back and look at this sentence for a moment. This is the basic structure of the buffalo sentence. Let’s think about buffalo chasing other buffalo:

“Buffalo buffalo chase chase buffalo”.

Now there’s a lesser-known English verb “to buffalo” meaning “to push around”. So instead of chasing, let’s make these buffalo push each other around:

“Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo”.

Remember that this means:

“Buffalo that buffalo push around, push buffalo around”.

For the final step, let’s just talk about a particular kind of buffalo - the kind that live in the zoo in Buffalo, New York. These, of course, are Buffalo buffalo - just as the lions are Buffalo lions.

“Buffalo buffalo that Buffalo Buffalo push around, push Buffalo buffalo around”

or more properly:

“Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo”.

For extra credit, here’s a sentence with “and” five times together:

“When you drew that Fish-And-Chips sign, you should have put a hyphen between Fish and And and And and Chips”.

I find myself wrong again
Staring out my window
Wondering what it is I should've said
I find myself at home again
Waiting for the after call
From fallout that feels like such a mess
Oh I can only be myself I'm sorry that's hell for you

Hey so what's my damage today
Don't let me get in your way
Let it out like you always do
The trouble between me and you
Is nothing new

So I listen to you complain and then
I bite my tongue in vain again
As I let it all just slowly settle in
Such a pretty picture that you paint
I'm so vile while you're a saint
Funny how your eyes see thick not thin
Oh I can only be myself
You're looking for someone else

Hey so what's my damage today
Don't let me get in your way
Let it out like you always do
The trouble between me and you
Is nothing new

You know how to give it
But you can't take it
It's all just a waste
So now you can save it
No matter what I do
It's never good enough
Never good enough

Hey so what's my damage today
Don't let me get in your way
Let it out like you always do
The trouble between me and you
Is nothing new

Save your breath 'cause here comes the truth
I'm over the drama of you
And that's something new
Well I'm staring out my window
Wondering what it is that I should have said

Control - Poe

Don't you mess with a little girl's dream
'Cause she's liable to grow up mean

Surprised you to find that I'm laughing?
You thought that you'd find me in tears
You thought I'd be crawling the walls
Like a tiny mosquito and trembling in fear

Well you may be king for the moment
But I am a queen understand
And I've got your pawns and your bishops
And castles
All inside the palm of my hand

While you were looking the other way
While you had your eyes closed
While you were licking your lips
'Cause I was miserable
While you were selling your soul
While you were tearing a hole in me

I was taking control

Now I have taken control
Now I have taken control...

This is beginning to feel good
Watching you squirm in your shoes
A small bead of sweat on your brow
And a growl in your belly you're scared to let through

You thought you could keep me from loving
You thought you could feed on my soul
But while you were busy destroying my life
What was half in me has become whole

While you were looking the other way
While you had your eyes closed
While you were licking your lips
'Cause I was miserable
While you were selling your soul
While you were tearing a hole in me

I was taking control

Now I have taken control
Now I have taken control...

So this is how it feels
To breath in the summer air
The feel the sand between my toes
And love inside my ear
All those things that you taught me to fear
I've got them in my garden now
And you're not welcome here
Come here!

Come a little bit closer
Let me look at you
I gave you the benefit
Of the doubt it's true
But keep in mind my darling
Not every saint is a fool

(Don't) While you were looking the other way
(You mess) While you had your eyes closed
(With me) While you were licking your lips
'Cause I was miserable
(Don't) While you were selling your soul
(You mess) While you were tearing a hole in me

I was taking control

Now I have taken control
Now I have taken control...

Don't you mess with me

there is a hidden obscenity on the bottom of bill ripkin's bat in the 1989 fleer baseball card

the true story of...

the true story of what was
the light blue flickering rhythm
of the neighbor's big console t.v.
is basking on the ceiling
of another insomniatic spree
and outside sleep's open window
between the drops of rain
history is writing a recipe book
for every earthly pain

oh to clean up the clutter of echoes
coming in and out of focus
words spoken
like locusts
sing and sing
in my head

and thing is
they often seem
in my memory's long dream
to be superfluous to
the true story of what was

cuz

real is real regardless
of what you try to say
or say away
real is real relentless
while words distract and dismay
words that change their tune
though the story remains the same
words that fill me quickly
and then are slow to drain
dialogues that dither down reminiscent
of the way it likes to rain
every screen
a smoke screen
oh to dream
just for a moment
the picture
outside the frame

then in a flash
the light blue horizon
spanning a sudden black
is sucked into the vanishing point
and quiet rushes back
to search for the downbeat
in a tabla symphony
to search in the darkness
for someone who looks like me

(though i'm not really who i said i was
or who i thought i'd be)

just a collection of recollections
conversations consisting
of the kind of marks we make
when we're trying to get a pen to work again

a lifetime of them!

cough…cough…ahem…

i say to me
now here listening
i say to the locusts
that sing and sing to me sitting
now here on the front porch swing of my eyes:
i hereby amend
whatever i've ever said
with this sigh

knuckle down

knuckle down
that's just my cowgirl alter-ego
riding on her bar room bull
dripping with the sweat of irony
as the cowboys whoop and drool
shooting glances at the mirror
to see if her scar is showing
she is truly going nowhere tonight

lecherous old lady wanna-be
much too young and shy
flailing her whole life
just thinking she can teach herself to fly
vehement romantic
frantic for forever right now
but forever's going nowhere tonight

sick of goading her self-loathing
she thinks, i think i'd better leave
'course whiskey makes me smarter
and i'm happy as can be
but please excuse me darlin
it's not you
it's me

and there's a dusty old dust storm on mars, they say
so tonight you can't see it too clear
still i stood in line to look through their telescope
looked like a distant ship light
as seen from a foggy pier
and i know that i was warned
still it was not what i hoped
yes i know that i was warned
still it was not what i hoped

i think i'm done gunnin to get closer
to some imagined bliss
i gotta knuckle down
and just be ok with this
i'm gonna knuckle down
just be ok with this
'course that star struck girl is already someone i miss

i swear some stuff you just see better from further away
and i think i communicate best now, the less i say
and i can't dance if the band can't play
and the vibe is going nowhere tonight

'cuz somewhere between Hollywood and its pretty happiness
and an anguish so infinite it's anybody's guess
is a place where people are all teachers
and this just one long class
and that ass will get you nowhere tonight

there's a dusty old dust storm on mars they say
so tonight you can't see it too clear
still i stood in line to look through their telescope
looked like a distant ship light
as seen from a foggy pier
and i know that i was warned
still it was not what i hoped
yeah i know that i was warned
still it was not what i hoped

i think i'm done gunnin to get closer
to some imagined bliss
i gotta knuckle down
just be ok with this
gotta knuckle down
just be ok with this

'course that star struck girl
is already someone i miss

cabin fever?

Doodles was sunbathin today at my pops casa...it was a relaxing boring day. Took braums cheeseburgers over with those awesome CRINKLE fries...mmmm. Then we watched 'North Country' and 'Guess Who'. Good movies, then watched 'Grey's Anatomy'. I love that show. Somewhere in the middle of all that i looked at the ads and baked a cherry crumble pie. The weather today was amazing. Ronnie went out on his new boat today fishing, but we didnt get to go. 1. it was sunday, 2. Les is still puny. :( (get well soon!!!)

Yesterday I found the geneaolgy software I wanted for ages. Family Tree Maker Collectors Edition. Its kinda like a super upgraded version of the original software my mom and i had a gazillion years ago. I actually found my original backup of our family tree and was able to import in it. Its amazing to me that our tree has some lines traced all the way back to 1200's England. That is so long ago...i mean damn...thats like 800 yrs ago??? woah. Anyway i want to find out more about that line because they say that the peasants didnt keep records, so the inference i draw from that is that my ancestors were lords or something that did keep vital records. also I want to know how my peeps came to america. we came over in like the 1620's in Virginia. That was soooo long ago lol..anyway, we also watched 'The Weatherman' and 'Domino' last night. It was super duper rainy friday and sat so it was definitely a movie watchin day.

By the end of this weekend tho i've kinda gotten cabin fever... its weird to me not going and really doing anything all weekend. Friday nite we went and ate at posado's. Jess met up with us. She cracks me up :)[side note: this would later prove to be a REALLLLY BAD decision to embark on this friendship...]

Anyway, i gotta jet, its zzzzzz time. ;)

Something Beautiful by Tracy Bonham

light weight too straight no reaction
i don’t care if i’m not in fashion
i will follow you i will follow you
it’s hearts up heads down puddle of red wine
you get back up and you face the climb
i will follow you

something in me almost breaks

but i wait
i’m sinking in my skin
and i wait
my heart is wearing thin
‘cause i’m looking for
something beautiful

you cut me up and you make me bleed
a sad stained heart hanging on my sleeve
i’ll still follow you i will follow you
but you say “look up look up look all around you
can’t you see the love that surrounds the
very soul of you?”

something in me almost breaks

but i wait
i’m sinking in my skin
and i wait
my heart is wearing thin
‘cause i’m looking for
something beautiful
and i pray
for it to come right in
there’ll come a day
my heart is wearing thin
that i fall upon
something beautiful
something meaningful

you stick your soul out risk it all
your fearless beauty breaks your fall

something in me
knows there’s something more
and it’s so close i wanna run

but i wait
i’m sinking in my skin
yeah i wait
my heart is wearing thin
‘cause i’m looking for
something beautiful

and i pray for it
come right in
there’ll come a day
my heart is wearing thin
when i fall upon
something beautiful
something beautiful
something meaningful

Intellivision

Last night i had a dream about lisa.

It started out i was at work. While i was there, we had to go out in these boats. Well, the boats were like our desks and it was in this swampy land. So i was working all day and was about to leave and scheduling came over ( it was nelda f?) and said 'look at all your 'not ready' time. This is not acceptable.'i said 'i was doing qa, all the systems are down and i had to do live monitorings.' she felt stupid and left.

Anyway then i was on my way out and i went to this auditorium on the way home. I parked and went to the back entrance and steff and brat were sittin in the doorway watchin lisa sing. She was doing a show on some college campus. A few minutes lated she looked back at the doorway and saw me. Her face lit up and she smiled and she did the 'come here' finger gesture to me. So i went over to her on stage after the song was over, and she gave me a huge hug. She said 'are u ok? I've been so worried about you!' that made me almost cry. I told her about everythin that had been going on and how much i missed her. She said 'C'mon lets go back here.' she took my hand and motioned to the rest of the road pirates too.

We followed her to this cool arcade area. It had a zillion different video games all over the place. I saw michael and hugged him. Danny too. Then i asked lisa if the games were free play games. She said of course! i went looking around and came back to her and asked if she wabted to play... She said 'Yes!!' and grabbed my hand. She took me to this one game she loved. She said the name but i cant remember it. It started with a vowel, it might have been 'invasion' or 'apocalypse' anyway the game was on an old Intellivision system(???) lol. But the graphics were really good like they are today. So we starteed to play and thats all i remember...

Word of the Day ~ concupiscence

Dictionary.com/Word of the Day Archive/concupiscence

concupiscence \kon-KYOO-puh-suhn(t)s; kuhn-\, noun:Strong desire, especially sexual desire; lust.
The "Tretis" is an argument in favor of chastity and contrasts the "Wise Virgins" who devote themselves to God with the "Foolish Virgins" who taste "the fruits of forbidden concupiscence" and, of course, pay for it.-- Michael Gorra, "Loved for his Diphthongs," New York Times, November 27, 1983
Within three years Rorik's queen was dead, taking with her into silence her midnight cries of release from that captivity of concupiscence which Eve's curious sin has laid upon mankind.-- John Updike, Gertrude and Claudius
Concupiscence is from Late Latin concupiscentia, from the present participle of Latin concupiscere, "to desire eagerly," from com-, intensive prefix + cupere, "to desire." The adjective form is concupiscent. The name of the ancient Roman god of love, Cupid, comes from the same root.

The New World

We went to see 'The New World' yesterday and I loved it. It was about Jamestown, Captain John Smith and the life of Pocahantas. It was a very quiet film, not much dialogue but it was ok that way because it was kind of a sensory film. It made you feel what it was like to be there in the wood, on the river, at the first settlement. I love pocahantas :) lol she was really cool. Check out the trailer on the link provided :)

catbird seat: Word of the Day

The Word of the Day for February 10 is:

catbird seat \KAT-berd-SEET\ noun
: a position of great prominence or advantage

Example sentence:
Nate and Brett want to buy a house but are waiting to see if the real estate market will change soon and put buyers back in the catbird seat.

Did you know?
"In the catbird seat" was among the numerous, folksy expressions with which the legendary baseball broadcaster Red Barber delighted listeners. Some say he invented the expression; others say that he dug it up from his Southern origins. But the facts may actually have an odd twist. In a 1942 short story titled "The Catbird Seat," James Thurber featured a character, Mrs. Barrows, who liked to use the phrase. Another character, Joey Hart, explained that Mrs. Barrows must have picked up the expression from Red Barber. To Red, according to Joey, "sitting in the catbird seat" meant "'sitting pretty,' like a batter with three balls and no strikes on him." But, according to Barber's daughter, it was only after Barber read Thurber's story that he started using "in the catbird seat" himself!
