Our mother Earth...
Spaceman lyrics Written by: Harry Nilsson Vocals & Electric Piano: Harry Nilsson Drums: Richie Snare Bass: Klaus Voorman Acoustic Guitars: John Uribe, Cris Spedding, Peter Frampton Piano: Nicky Hopkins Percussion: Richard Perry Orchestra Arranged & Conducted by Paul Buckmaster Bang, bang, shoot em' up, destiny Bang, bang, shoot em' up to the moon Bang, bang, shoot em' up one, two, three (One, two, three, four!) I wanted to be a spaceman That's what I wanted to be But now that I am a spaceman Nobody cares about me Hey mother earth Won't 'cha bring me back down Safely to the sea But 'round and around and around and around Is all she ever say to me I wanted to make a good run I wanted to go to the moon I knew that it had to be fun I told 'em to send me real soon I wanted to be a spaceman I wanted to be it so bad But now that I am a spaceman I'd rather be back on the pad Hey mother earth Won't 'cha bring me back down Safely to the sea But 'round and around and around and around Is just a lot of lunacy (Yeah!) 'Round and around and around and around and around (So bring me back down) 'Round and around and around and around and around Safe on the ground Hey mother earth Won't 'cha bring me back down Safely to the sea But 'round and around and around and around Is all she ever say to me, yeah You know I wanted to be a spaceman That's what I wanted to be But now that I am a spaceman Nobody cares about me Say, hey! You mother earth You better bring me back down I've taken just as much as I can But around and around and around and around Is the problem of a spaceman (Ah's!) |

Mother Mary?
Mother Mary, your hold on me Denies my feelings From those who can see Your sacred wisdom Can caress my soul Confused and forsaken By what Ive been told It always sounded so right to me To offer my prayers With the hope to be free Mother mary, is this wrong for me To judge myself by what you see And if I stand here Will you stand by me If the choice that I make Is the choice to be me Ive heard your words In so many ways Do I trust myself Beyond your praise My heart has been touched By something said I want to go with her I want to be led I knelt at your side Did you feel me I gave you my all To be nearer to thee Mother mary, is this wrong for me To judge myself by what you see And if I stand here Will you stand by me If the choice that I make Is the choice to be me You know Ill always be there You know Ill always be there You know Ill always be there Cant you show me a way to believe Have I been enlightened, misled or deceived It always sounded so right to me To offer my prayers With the hope to be free Mother Mary, is this wrong for me To judge myself by what you see And if I stand here Will you stand by me If the choice that I make Is the choice to be me - Julian Lennon

NSFPL = not safe for post lunch reading
Some of the docs told me I have a low level allergy to shell fish so I can expect (and which explains) a little bloody stool if I eat shrimp, oysters, lobsters....red is one of my favorite colors. The older the foo'd the redder the poo'd...something about enzymes quickly developing on exposed sea food and those crummy enzymes are what does it. Fresh sushi ftw. WORLD'S LONGEST POOP - 26 Feet Attention, University of Michigan Record! “In February 1995, working in conjunction with nutritionists at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, I adopted a super fiber-rich diet which allowed me to successfully produce a single extruded excrement the exact length of my colon: 26 feet. I documented the extrusion at the Cranbrook-Kingswood High School Bowling Alley, Bloomfield Hills, MI, which offered a length of floor suitable for the process and measuring the results. The cathartic diet was supplemented by a high intake of Metamucil fiber substance. The weeklong endurance prior to the event was ensured by the employment of a plug specifically designed to curtail any premature excretions.” PS: the "I" above is not "me" Last edited by BadNick; 07-03-2008 at 10:31 AM.. |

After they cordoned off the playground to separate the audience area from the fireworks setup/launching areas, we plopped our blankets front row center; we'll go back there about 8pm to listen to the live bands, socialize and play around until the show starts. That's a traditional thing I've been doing for almost 30 years, along with many others...by the time I staked down my blankets there were only a few front row spots left. So we'll have a very good view of the nice fireworks show in our little town. They give away an American flag prize to the spectator who came from farthest away.

I was going to drive over to the beach to watch fireworks, but I did a ton of digging and planting and then mowed my entire front lawn. Even after a shower and about a gallon of water, I'm dead. *passes out temporarily*

Ahhh, fireworks smell like sulphur, too. The fireworks here were great...right in front of your face so it could hardly have been any closer. It drizzled the whole time but it felt nice just sitting there getting wet in the warm air and seeing the rockets red glare, and green and white and blue. They gave the flag to somebody from Australia.
