Viva La US

Forgot this sets the stage for the below.






Arise ye workers from your slumbers
Arise ye prisoners of want
For reason in revolt now thunders
And at last ends the age of cant.
Away with all your superstitions
Servile masses arise, arise
We'll change henceforth the old tradition
And spurn the dust to win the prize.

So comrades, come rally
And the last fight let us face
The Internationale unites the human race.

No more deluded by reaction
On tyrants only we'll make war
The soldiers too will take strike action
They'll break ranks and fight no more
And if those cannibals keep trying
To sacrifice us to their pride
They soon shall hear the bullets flying
We'll shoot the generals on our own side.

No saviour from on high delivers
No faith have we in prince or peer
Our own right hand the chains must shiver
Chains of hatred, greed and fear
E'er the thieves will out with their booty
And give to all a happier lot.
Each at the forge must do their duty
And we'll strike while the iron is hot.

Politics of Life

Sleeping on the couch tonight hoping that Jake shits out another foreign object. If not we go under the knife again tomorrow. Hopefully he sleeps tonight. It anything happens to him further he will have to go to sleep for a while. Going to be a long night with my canine buddy. Listening to this song on my POD. By the way, one of the best song writers of my generation.

Radio Friendly Unit Shifter

Use just once and destroy
Invasion of our piracy
Afterbirth of a nation
Starve without your skeleton key

I love you for what I am not
I do not want what I have got
A blanket acne'ed with cigarette burns
Speak at once while taking turns
Second-rate third degree burns
What is wrong with me
What is what I need
What do I think I think

This had nothing to do with what you think
If you ever think at all
Bi-polar opposites attract
All of a sudden my water broke

Hate, hate your enemies
Save, save your friends
Find, find your place
Speak, speak the truth

Decade

Well tomorrow, or today, maybe yesterday depending on when you read this; I will have been married to a girl for 10 years. Known her for more than 13, will continue to know her until I die. She is my only friend, best friend, lover, mother. I can remember when I first thought..."hmmm she is pretty hot, short, stubby, athlete, outsider.....definite maybe." She was sitting in the bleachers with her friend Mary. They were two peas in a pod and the only way to get into their circle was to be friends with both. You were not getting in that ring unless they both agreed that you belonged. I have no idea how but somehow I made it in. That was how the relationship started. She is going to feed you with some b.s. that she actually asked me out. Not so fast. I was playing hard to get and wanted to break down her ring and the only way in was for her to make the first move. I agreed, we held hands, we kissed, we ........ and it was all worth it. She wont believe this but I do remember our first kiss on the front porch of her moms house. I think. It was either there or at some stupid church camp that our Nazi school made us attend. HE HE.

Good and bad. Worse time was when I had to call Jim to ask for his approval. He and Jayne chewed my arse. I remember getting off the phone and thinking "alright, (breath, breath) now what in the hell am I supposed to do." The one thing about our marriage is that neither one of us are afraid of doing things together. She flew into Wausau got a chance to see my bachelor pad full of pizza boxes and marked with puke in my bedroom. This pad was a sweet 3 story pad. We were on the middle story and I was sitting by my computer desk when I got down on one knee and asked her to marry me. I know, I know. I am one of the most romantic bastards you have ever met.

10 years later here we are. I could go on, and on about memories that I have but I think I already have the record of the longest blog and this one is probably going to be close.

Heidi if you read this I cant wait to share the next 10 years with you as we watch our child grow, live in a great city for a long time, and grow closer to each other. As you know I dont blog usually without lyrics. These are meant for you Heidi....

my beloved one

your eyes shine through me
you are so divine to me
your heart has a home in mine
we won't have to say a word
with a touch all shall be heard
when i search my heart it's you i find

my beloved one

you were meant for me
i believe you were sent to me
from a dream straight into my arms
hold your body close to me
you mean the most to me
we will keep each other safe from harm

my beloved one
