You! Yes, you!
It is 3:54 am EST and there are 110 active users.
I'm bored. Somebody say something, dammit!

something, dammit!
For lack of anything more earth shattering to talk about, let me tell you what happened at home last night. I'm sitting in the living room just resting and bloto'd out, when in the next room I hear my two boys starting to argue about who did what and how with the Xbox game; they're born 15mos apart now 11 & 12yo, and are often very competitive with each other and often prodding each other into physical confrontation; so I interject my stern voice while still planting my fat butt in my easy chair, I tell the younger one who's getting more agitated to get out of there before he gets in trouble; suddenly I hear "oh my god oh my god what did you do look what you did" from the older one in a cold shocked voice; I run into the room and see a fork completely buried in his thigh so that none of the prongs are visible; apparently the younger one threw it and it just stuck; I yank the fork out, grab a clean kitchen towel and make a sort of tournikit, and head off to the local hospital emergency room. No serious damage but an unusually eventful evening at our home. |

If you didn't care what happened to me,
And I didn't care for you, We would zig zag our way through the boredom and pain Occasionally glancing up through the rain. Wondering which of the buggars to blame And watching for pigs on the wing. man this could be a fun thread |

i got your meddle right here baby.........
You say the hill's too steep to climb Climb it. You say you'd like to see me try Climbing. You pick the place and I'll choose the time And I'll climb That hill in my own way. Just wait a while for the right day. And as I rise above the tree lines and the clouds I look down, hearing the sound of the things you've said today. Fearlessly the idiot faced the crowd Smiling. Merciless the magistrate turns 'round Frowning. And who's the fool who wears the crown? And go down, in your own way And every day is the right day And as you rise above the fear-lines in his brow You look down, hearing the sound of the faces in the crowd. |

Day after day, alone on the hill,
The man with the foolish grin is keeping perfectly still. But nobody wants to know him, They can see that he's just a fool. And he never gives an answer ..... But the fool on the hill, Sees the sun going down. And the eyes in his head, See the world spinning around. Well on his way, his head in a cloud, The man of a thousand voices, talking perfectly loud. But nobody ever hears him, Or the sound he appears to make. And he never seems to notice ..... But the fool on the hill, Sees the sun going down. And the eyes in his head, See the world spinning around. And nobody seems to like him, They can tell what he wants to do. And he never shows his feelings, But the fool on the hill, Sees the sun going down. And the eyes in his head, See the world spinning around...

The memories of a man in his old age
Are the deeds of a man in his prime. You shuffle in gloom of the sickroom And talk to yourself as you die. Life is a short, warm moment And death is a long cold rest. You get your chance to try in the twinkling of an eye: Eighty years, with luck, or even less. So all aboard for the American tour, And maybe you'll make it to the top. And mind how you go, and I can tell you, 'cause I know You may find it hard to get off. You are the angel of death And I am the dead man's son. And he was buried like a mole in a fox hole. And everyone is still in the run. And who is the master of fox hounds? And who says the hunt has begun? And who calls the tune in the courtroom? And who beats the funeral drum? The memories of a man in his old age Are the deeds of a man in his prime. You shuffle in gloom in the sickroom And talk to yourself till you die. i love that song. |

Heaven sent the promised land
Looks alright from where I stand Cause I'm the man on the outside looking in Waiting on the first step Show me where the key is kept Point me down the right line because it's time To let me in from the cold Turn my lead into gold Cause there's a chill wind blowing in my soul And I think I'm growing old Flash the readies wots...uh,the deal Got to make to the next meal Try to keep up with the turning of the wheel. Mile after mile Stone after stone Just turn to speak but you're alone Million miles from home you're on your own So let me in from the cold Turn my lead into gold Cause there's chill wind blowing in my soul And I think I'm growing old Fire bright by candlelight And her by my side And if she prefers we will never stir again Someone sent the promised land And I grabbed it with both hands Now I'm the man on the inside looking out HEAR ME SHOUT... Come on in What's the news, where ya been Cause there's no wind left in my soul And I've grown old |
