Everybody Loves a Holy War 
 
Just discovered this guy's lyrics -- looks like he could have easily been watching the television news outlets from the past year.


Some say that God has approved of their mob
Esteeming their purposes alone
Choosing sides with a definite pride
And taking their cause for His own

Everybody loves a holy war
Draw the line and claim divine assistance
Slay the ones who show the most resistance
Everybody loves a holy war

Many's the man with the iron hand
Supposing his own thoughts to be Divine
He will break any bond -
'cause the other man's always wrong
It's a handy excuse for his crimes

Everybody loves a holy war
Draw the line and claim divine protection
Kill the ones who show the most objection
Everybody loves a holy war

Dissident cries are met with cold eyes
And treatment the devil would get
Righteousness and truth
can be weapons in the hands of fools
While innocents go to their deaths

Everybody loves a holy war
Draw the line and claim divine assistance
Slay the ones who show the most resistance
Everybody loves a holy war

WWTDD (What Would Tyler Durden Do?) 
 
And you open the door and you step inside
We're inside our hearts
Now imagine your pain as a white ball of healing light
That's right . . .
Your pain, the pain itself is a white ball of healing light

I don't think so

This is your life
Good to the last drop
It doesn't get any better than this
This is your life and its ending one minute at a time

This isn't a seminar
This isn't a weekend retreat
Where you are now you can't even imagine what the bottom will be like
Only after disaster can we be resurrected
It's only after you've lost everything you are free to do anything

Nothing is static
Everything is evolving
Everything is falling apart

You are not a beautiful and unique snowflake
You are the same decaying organic matter as everything else
We are all part of the same compost heap
We are the all singing all dancing crap of the world

You are not your bank account
You are not the clothes you wear
You are not the contents of your wallet
You are not your bowel cancer
You are not your grande latte
You are not the car you drive
You are not your fucking khakis

You have to give up
You have to realize that someday you will die
Until you know that
You are useless

I say, let me never be complete
I say, may I never be content
I say, deliver me from Swedish furniture
I say, deliver me from clever art
I say deliver me from clear skin and perfect teeth

I say you have to give up
I say evolve, and let the chips fall as they may

Why I stopped blogging 
 
Just a note to explain why all my old posts have been deleted and why I won't be blogging for a while.

A blogging policy came down from corporate and as a precautionary measure, I won't be blogging at all. It means I can't get myself in trouble for blogging. So for now...I'll be keeping my opinions on everything to myself.

Bugs Me 
 


While it's obvious that the woman in the foreground is reacting in sheer terror, what's the deal with guy in the background? At best, his expression is one of vague puzzlement . . ."Huh . . . as I left the house, covered in fire ants . . . did I remember to shut the lights off?"

A Little Bit of Sweet 
 
Mom thinks Obama is Hitler . . . the economy is tanking . . . each day has it's own share of trouble. I'll take sweetness and joy wherever I can find it. I think I found some here.

Mountaintops 
 


My brother John, and me, atop Santanoni Peak in the Adirondack Mountains. We replaced the canisters atop many of the trail-less peaks as members of the Adirondack Forty-Sixers Mountain Club. My father crafted the canisters to replace broken or worn out ones. (At the time I completed my forty-sixth, I was one of the youngest ever, at 11 years old). Circa 1975.
