Upon arrival, there isn’t nearly enough air to fill my lungs, so in desperation, I scream. Pulling in all that I can because suddenly I feel empty. The comfortable heavy warmth in my chest has been displaced by vacuum. I have no control over where I am. My arms and legs, unbound, find freedom a challenge. And, although I feel hands pulling and fingers pressing, I have no idea why. It is cold. So, I reach for warmth and I find it in purity. I know where I came from; I did not want to leave and with grief comes depth and in the deep I find surrender. It was warm and I swam in it before I knew you. I would go back, but that was before I saw your eyes, before I was pulled into this world and onto your lap a sloppy mess. I need you and without you I am sure I would not thrive.
p.s. i can only imagine.

heart full
Today on my way home from class, I stopped off at the petrol station for some petrol. I paid on my card which wasn’t a lot, and then as I was getting into my car, I saw an old man walking past the building. He had a red and green stripy jumper which was frayed at the ends. He was also wearing some jeans that were dirty and had holes all over.
I sat there and became intrigued by him because I didn’t know what he was doing, so as I sat there and watched him, he continued doing what he set out to do.
He walked past the trash cans and first picked out a cup with some drink still in it (one of the cups that you get from burger king that has coke in it). He then walked over to the next trash can and pulled out the end of a half eaten sandwich. In my shock horror, he ate it and then went to sit on the wall to drink the drink he had found.
I felt sad, I wanted to give him my last $4 that I had but I was told when I was younger that you should never give people money, you should give them something they need or can use because that way, if they had an addiction, they would not be able to use the money for their addiction. So I went into the shop and bought a chicken sandwich from their deli counter and then walked out of the building.
The guy was still sat at the wall drinking his drink so I walked up to him and asked him if he would like this sandwich. He thanked me and said that he was hungry.
I should of felt good after that, doing something for someone else but all I could think of is where his next meal will come from or where in fact he will sleep tonight.

Jennicula,
Thank you for sharing your story. Although it only appeared briefly, I was lucky enough to have caught it.
Once upon a time, for me, that was the best part of this place...having my words related back to me from another's perspective.
And it never mattered to me who said it, just that it meant something to the writer.

Don't let anyone tell you how to live your life. Hold your head up high and be proud of who you are. If you've had a shitty day and you feel like people just don't want you to be happy, and when you find yourself struggling to make it through the day, just keep on believing and keep the faith. Also, from personal experience, don't push people away. When they say they want to help and that they are there for you, let them in. Believe me, I know how fucking scary that thought is, but don't shut others out.

Sometimes, when you look back on stuff in your life, you know, the crap that makes you shake your head and say, "Holy shit, what the Hell was I thinking?" it's part of what makes you - you.
I'm not perfect by any stretch of the imagination. I have made small mistakes and really big, fucking scary mistakes. Would I change those mistakes and blunders?
No. Wanna know why?
Because they make me - me. They help make up the person that I am, what I've learned the hard way. Hopefully I've learned from my mistakes and have become a better person for it. And, hopefully I don't repeat those same mistakes. Although, sometimes I repeat variations of certain ones, but I'm working on that. :)

aloft
Blazing against the sun
like locusts,
samaras swarm the sky
and skitter to an earthly end,
dry
like clever words.
I want to make them fly up,
flip heaven upside down
and dance across the top of hell
and sing your thoughts
to the sound of thunder
that you love so well,
rip open the littered sky
and bathe in the light
or draw across the firmament
the blanket of the night.
In only a day they have
covered the ground,
their brief flight
yielding nothing permanent
on infertile land,
a fleeting moment of swarming glory
that calls to mind our own
short story:
Diamonds and petals,
the loom and the light,
the inkdark moon, foxfire marsh,
an open, waiting hand.
Clever winged seeds
of childhood reminiscent--
and like the idiot grown-up heart,
as stubbornly indehiscent.

Electric Blue
…today I saw a ulysses butterfly it was in our yard and settled to feed on our hibiscus. They really are fantastically beautiful things, the electric blue is amazing, however as they sit with their wings closed they are rather nondescript and dull. Sometimes people are like that, from the outside they seem unappealing but within there hides an amazing beauty for those lucky enough to see it. I hope you appreciate beauty in all things, and look for it perhaps where others miss it.

LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL.
I read your post again and suddenly without warning memories of construction paper filled my head. I remembered all the lop-sided flowers my girls made when they were young. Bright blue, yellow and pink flowers that were cut out with blunt end scissors would fill the windows to decorate for Easter. An occasional bunny was attempted but those usually ended up looking like creatures from a horror movie. Flowers were so much easier. I can close my eyes and hear the paper being cut into petals. I can smell the Elmer’s glue squirted on in huge blobs to attach each misshapen petal to form the flowers. We had a huge arts and crafts box full of wonderful items just waiting for their imaginations to turn into something wonderful. In my mind I see my daughters, as they once were, small, blond little girls sitting on the floor surrounded by scraps of paper and other art supplies. They would create their masterpieces then proudly show each other. Oh and Lord the messes that would ensue if the glitter made an appearance. Now, the box is forgotten. I’m not really sure where it even is anymore. The few flowers so lovingly created that survived are faded and dusty and high on a shelf they sit. Time marches on, so many things get left behind.
Today was the first Easter I spent alone. I don’t think it really upset me until I remembered the construction paper flowers. Of course I understand that my daughters are growing up and have lives of their own. But understanding doesn’t make it any easier to accept. I miss my little girls in their frilly Easter dresses. I miss the laughter that filled the house when they found what the Easter Bunny left for them. And I miss making the damn flowers.

THANK YOU FOR THE VENOOOOOOOMMMMM!
S&V, I gotchoo ice cream tonight!
*runs away before Solly can catch her*
I can air-guitar that shit like nobuddy's bizznezz.
Don't even mess.
Oooo, SMOOOOKE!
You did it perfectly!
It's sweet when some boys in martial arts don't know how they're supposed to spar and grapple with women and they are unsure. But it's absolutely fantastic when boys know exactly what they're doing, and they don't have anything to prove and at the same time they don't coddle you. I've been in martial arts for three years and only ont wo occasions has a boy hurt me by trying to prove that he respected me. That seems like irony but it isn't. Some boys think that they should throw women down harder, or joint-lock them harder in order to not be sexist. Except that in those two instances neither man warned me that he was going to do it. One was a joint lock and one was a throw down.
But in my three years it's just been those two instances. Tonight I was spar-drilling and grappling with not one but two beautiful boys: my original Beautiful Boy with his tall, rangey strength and shy, oddly mischievous smile, and a recently-returning boy with smooth dark skin and sweet sleepy eyes. A typical Long Island ethnic-looking homeslice boy with a brand of "I grew up between the city and the ocean" shy confidence. Hard to describe otherwise. Original Beautiful Boy picked me for the demonstration to the rest of the class, and then I paired up with Shy Homeslice. Shy Homeslice was really pulling his punches, and then when it came to where he was supposed to grab me by the neck and kick the bags I was holding, the most he was doing was putting his hands on my shoulders. I kept telling him, "It's okay, you can grab me." Finally Beautiful Boy came by and said, "You can grab her, she won't break." Then we switched off.
Sahmsing is a drill where you partner up, get into a horse stance to begin and then start slamming your forearms against your partner's, three on each side, alternating, for about two or three minutes. Usually I pair up with my training sister, this gorgeous young girl whose soul is about a thousand years old. She's the strongest one in the class, but we're both really, really bony. When we do this drill together we both want to scream by the end of it, and I end up bruised from wrists to elbows for a week afterwards. We paired up on Monday for a really looong sahmsing drill, and by the time we were finished we were both like, "OMG, never again." So when Sifu told us to do sahmsing again tonight, I pointed to Beautiful Boy. He said, "Oh man, she's calling me out." And Old Soul Girl paired up with Shy Homeslice. By the end of it, Beautiful Boy and Shy Homeslice were both like " O_o Oh man! Girls are bony!" It's easier to do that against boys, because their forearms arms are muscular so you have some padding. But then they end up getting bruised by us. It's all very amusing.
When you do partner stretches, it gets really intense. Beautiful Boy and I always have friendly contests to see who can kick higher. He's very flexible and way stronger than I am, but I can get a full 180 with my leg over everyone's head. Your partner in this pushes your leg as far as it can possibly go. We look at each other across the room over the shoulders of our partners, checking to see whose leg is higher. "Go higher, go higher!" we both tell our partners, and then we both end up laughing. Classes like these always end up with the entire group of us on the floor seeing how much we can pretzel ourselves. It must look like Cirque Du Soleil practice, people with their legs behind their backs, or in full splits pushing and pulling each other to stretch even more. Me with the soles of my feet on the top of my head, or doing the (don't tease me now,) hands-free backbend. Then I do the hinge, which is where you bend backwards at the knees, and your thighs, hips, and torso are all parallel with the ground, like in The Matrix. This is, in fact, how I got the nickname "Neo" when I first joined the black belt class.
My training sister is 60 and she's been doing it for about four years. My first teacher started when she was 45, with a fractured disk and a fused spine. She's quadruple black belt and local champion, she's got tons of medals and there's not a soul out here who could compete with her aside from the man who taught her.
If any of you ever think about joining a martial arts class, stop thinking and do it. It doesn't matter how old you are or how weak you think you are. You come home feeling achy and you're bruised sometimes, but the joy you feel from it lasts well into the next day. I'm in the best shape I've ever been in; when other people are falling down gasping, I'm still smiling and not breaking a sweat. You come home feeling unbeatable.
And the boys are good-looking. ^_^

*gasps in shock and horror*
torronut bars didn't kill the blog it just stood in silent awe
Jules makes me want to take Kung Fu.
Just sayin..
Damn. I missed the Toro nuts conversation.
Solly, I gotchoo a pizza!
Hi, K :)
Oh wait, I was heading to bed...
G'night :)
K I'll stick with the gym, but my hubby is a black belt and was a full contact tournament tae kwon do champ and my brother is a something dan black belt kick boxer, so I hang with them for protoction!
Me, too!
But Solly, there's no cute boys around here that take any kind of Kung Fu.
Wait..
Do we have Kung Fu?
(g)utter!!
It's so good to see you! Though I didn't have to look far to find you!
RW,
I still wub you!
Who got the boot on Idol? I want to go to bed and listen to Gavin.
Ergo, that's so cool! Do you get the exercise high?
Solly, well all I can say is that I recommend it so highly. ^_^ Kung Fu is especially good for women, I think, but then again maybe I'm biased. Anyway it's very holistic.
Night, RW! Mwah!
Hiya K!
Hiya Gutter!
Do you need to be put in the corner? X_x
Well that's the thing, Smoke. Ordinary boys magically become cuter once they bust out the Kung Fu moves. :)
I cannot believe you just said "Toro nuts conversation."
*is taken aback*
Syesha got da boot! You can go listen to Gavin and go to sleep-sleep. There's some ballads on there that make me get shivers.
gd anon,
Syesha got booted.
IT's down to combover and gurgly boy.
GD,
Syesha got da boot.
Damn.
Jules:
I think Beautiful Boy likes you.
Just sayin'. :)
*agrees with Mustard*
Oh, ick. Oh well, at least it should make for a bust-o-matic finale. Night guys, going to listen to my boy.
Nah, nah, Splash. He's just being a good brother to me. ^_^ We've known each other since forever (three years anyway) and we've just always been so chill together. I like talking to him. He doesn't judge me. It's so weird.
Night, GD Anon!
Happy listening!
Cuz he wikes you. ^_~
I do K I really enjoy it, my brother instructs now too.
And people don't realise my hubby is that strong and fast, they tried to grease him at a workplace (where they hold a new guy down and stick a grease gun up their pants - oh the joy of male workplaces) and he fought off 4 of them, so they gave up
I hate it when I'm 666.
>_<
Night GD!
Has anyone heard from BC like at all?
Anyone?
I think he wikes u 2
Aww, nahh, Smoke. I think he's just very kind. ^_^
Ergo, that's both disturbing and hilarious.
Oh, and Princess, I am about to eat Nutella toast. I URGE you to have some.
URGE.
yes sdock through myspace and through another friend, she's ok just trying to sort out some real life stuff, taking a blog break
We all think he likes you. We all can't be wrong.
Can we?
Nah...
Ok, Ergo. She's just never been gone this long before.
Sdock, sorry I wasn't around earlier to make rude suggestive comments with you. That was fun.
Someone did invite me to a sex-toy party today. Sadly I will be on vacation then. I would have had plenty of material to work with after that I am sure.
(G)utter Anon:
Do you like your 'g' key, too?
And, um, how do you feel about thin crust pizza?
Bwuahahah. ;)
Check out this utterly retarded line of reasoning:
Polar bears are endangered because the ice caps are melting like a bitch. But this in no way means that we should do whatever we can to reduce climate changes. Because after all we still need oil and power plants.
Oh SOlly, you can be wrong. I've just built it up, that's all, because I think he's sweet and cute and I focus on how nice he is. He really is that nice to everyone. :)
Oh, and Princess, I am about to eat Nutella toast. I URGE you to have some.
>_<
*picks up nearest heavy object to throw at Kapunua*
I'll make your ass sit in the corner, too.
Yeah, BC just kind of disappeared. I asked this morning, but I'm not sure anyone saw. I hope everything will be okay for her.
Damn, (g)utter, I sure hate you are going to miss that. It's always (g)ood to get more ammunition! But who knows what you might find on vacation.
MIB, are you watching me? I just ate some thin crust pizza. Spooky.
Well Jules, he still might like you.
Also, EDWARDS ENDORSES OBAMA!
Yay. I like John Edwards and I always have.
Just my ass, Princess? Can the rest of me still force you to eat Nutella?
No freakin' way, Gutter! That's crazy!
No, I swear I'm not watching. I don't visit the gutter very often. Sometimes Sdock takes me there, but I don't go willingly.
:)
(G)utter,
You have watch Mustard. She's sneaky like that, but very
(G)entle!
Gutter,
Bring me some pizza.
Jules,
I like Edwards, too. ^_^
Jules,
Would Edwards run with Obama? Or no?

My love is agape* love.
*I made sure to pronounce that wrong.
Mustard,
Admit it, you enjoy every minute you spend in the gutter with me.
Jules,
Would Edwards run with Obama? Or no?
Sayyyyy. ^_^ Early on he said he wouldn't, but who knows? Wouldn't that be the bomb?
I do, Sdock. I love our gutter visits will all of my heart.
*licks your face Iero style, only not really, 'cause, well, just 'cause*
Bahahah!
Yeah, I would like to see that ticket. I've always been an Edwards gal.
For Barack Obama, I think he ought to kiss Johnny Edwards on the lips to kill this 41-point loss," Saunders said.
*wants a picture*
Mustard,
You are (G)oofy!
*high fives Jules for being on my wavelength*
I guess I should have brought enough pizza for everyone.
MIB, I've noticed you down here with Solly and I a time or two. Just like Brittney you're NOT THAT INNOCENT.
I loves ya Splash.
I've just found a new page that lets you donate to Obama's campaign. It looks like it's on the up and up, but man, I have no way of knowing for sure. O_o
I am so too innocent.
Ask Fimble Star.
How many times have I knocked on your door? Not many, Gutter. Not many at all. ;)
You are soooo not innocent, Mustard.
Sooo not.
I, on the other hand, am the most innocent meffer here.
Mustard,
There are no doors in the gutter. You just slip and slide right in.
Oh God, Solly.
Did you have to say slip and slide?
*sighs*
Smoke,
No, no you are not.
*pokes Solly with her own pointy stick*
YES I AM!
Yes, yes I did.
It's super slick down here.
Eff no, you are not.
You're the one eating blows of Rainin' Bran. That is not the epitome of innocent.
Ask Mayo. He'll tell you. Hell, ask SS.
They both know I am innocent and proper.
Super shlick in da gutter!
You guys are wrong, on so many levels, you are wrong.
;)
*breaks the point of Smoke's pointy stick and chases her around with a cigarette lighter threatening to light the hair on fire*
Muahahhhaah!
I was speaking about the (G)utter. Damn!
I had a slip and slide when I was in college. Then my best friend ruined it my sliding along with his jeans on, and his belt ripped it up. >_<
I'm a good girl, I am!
Yeah, well Mustard, on the flipside, this is as low as I can
go.
So it's all good.
OH! OH!
We didn't have the official Slip N'Slide.
No.
We had a big sheet of plastic with Dawn dish detergent.
Nu huh, we're hella mischeivious when it comes to Mayo and SS. There's no way of escaping that one with those two dudes.
You pick on Mayo all the time, Smoke! And poor PPU! Their feelings must be hurt. :(
And SS, well, ToeTour? Panty raids? Undies on the outside?
We are not innocent, I will give us that.
;)
You're ALL Dirty Birds in the gutter!
Teehee~
-A
Am amused. You are all doing my work for me.
Hey, did you guys see me totally botch the spelling of "mischievious?" I totally just did.
We didn't have the official Slip N'Slide.
I had a Hot Dogger.
The slide part was red, like a hot dog apparently, and the spray fixture was a little "squeeze bottle" of Mustard!
No shit.
-A
Damn, Mustard. You just named all my dirty deeds. I had forgotten about the panty raid. O_o
Dirty Deeds...DONE DIRT CHEAP!
I made Slip n' Slide history! Sweet!
The slide part was red, like a hot dog apparently, and the spray fixture was a little "squeeze bottle" of Mustard!
Hahaha! Just the thought of that is funny as hell.
Only I have the power to erase your dirty deeds, Smoke. Well, Mayo does, but he knows what you do. He watches. O_O
He totally watches your cream puffs, too.
Baha!
smoke who needs the official one when you have plastic and detergent!
Gutter,
It doesn't take long with this bunch, huh?
Heh-heh.
Did you guys ever hear the awesome song "Dirty Deeds Done With Sheep?" Oh man, it's perfect.
He totally watches your cream puffs, too.
I have no earthly idea what you are talking about.
NOPE.
(to the tune of AC/CD - Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap)
If you’re havin’ trouble with you barnyard friends –
You’ve got a thing for ewes –
Been countin’ sheep – but you’re not in bed –
Here’s what you gotta do:
Get out the barn – stay off the farm!
Go read a nursery rhyme.
Don’t ring 976-BAAA –
That kind of love’s a crime! Hey,
Dirty deeds, done with sheep!
Dirty deeds. Little Bo Peep!
Dirty deeds, done with sheep!
Dirty deeds, and they’re done with sheep!
Dirty deeds, and they’re done with sheep!
My friend Larry has a little lamb –
Her fleece is white as snow.
He keeps braggin’ ‘bout her night and day –
Someone should tell him, “No”,
Look at the flock – They’re all in shock!
Here comes that mutton fan.
Knock off the fleece – Give them some peace.
Don’t be a barn door man! No.
Dirty deeds, done with sheep!
Dirty deeds. Little Bo Peep!
Dirty deeds, done with sheep!
Dirty deeds, and they’re done with sheep!
Dirty deeds, and they’re done with sheep!
Velcro gloves… Knee pads… Late-night dates…
Done with sheep!
Warning signs… Electric fences… High Voltage!
Done with sheep!
Dirty deeds…
Don’t tell ‘em what I’ve done to you!
Done with sheep!
Dirty deeds…
Dirty deeds…
Dirty deeds, done with sheep! Aaaargh!
(Quiet, girls! I think the shepherd’s coming!)
The dude who sings it sounds so much like Bon Scott it's uncanny. The song is hilarious and really well done.
Done With Sheep?
Oh my. O_O
Well, even if you don't remember, I'm sure Mayo will probably remind you at some point.
Gosh, I'm on fire tonight! WTF? Usually I am a little lamb.
Kapunua said...
Well that's the thing, Smoke. Ordinary boys magically become cuter once they bust out the Kung Fu moves. :)
Who wants boys? Aren't you in your mid thirties. Time to stop playing little girl games with cute boys. Men are so much better.
Wow.
I dunno what to say 'bout that!
Oh dude, there is a video!
Highly recommended for those who can watch it. ^_^
Oh, you ain't no lamb. Hellz no.
Anon,
O_O
Oh, you ain't no lamb. Hellz no.
You lie.
;)
Okay, the video sucks, but the whole song is there. ^_^
She is too old to be acting that way.
Before you ask NO
I'm not a man making an offer
^_~
I'm pooped.
(g)uys,
I am off to bed!
Catch ya tomorrow!
Love ya'll!
And the alternate LOTR ending still kills me way more than it should. I seem to remember that Ergoproxy was into this one too. ^_^
Wish I knew what you were looking for.
Might have known what you would find.
Night, Sdock!
I'm not too far behind you!
Well.....
I am super-duper-uber-goober-tired.
Hmmm.
Mayo,
Don't be black-mailing me with shit, dude. DON'T! ^_^
SS,
You is sooooo missed. No joke. I'm as serious as a heart attack. Missed. Hope you are well and hope to see you soon! You cezy bizzy Hallux lovin' superhero!
Sweet dreams errbody in BlogBelieve!
And don't let Kapunua and Gutter out of the corner. Make'em sit there all freakin' night long, Mayo. Better yet, put Mustard and Solly in the other two corners.
Night!
XOXO,
S&V20
Goodnight everyone. Come on down for a visit anytime. There is plenty of room for all the dirty-minded lovelies and I would love the company.
Mayo 10:48
Good night, guys. ^_^
Mayo,
What's up? Are you still fantastic after eating all those pralines? Okay. I know, I know. All the praline jokes are getting old already. No more, I swear. Really, I hope you are fantastic, well, loved, warm, full, and smiling.
Me? Nah, I don't want to go there tonight. It is what it is and sometimes I don't know what it is.
What?
Exactly.
Love to YOU Always,
S
p.s. My fingers were crossed.
LOl K
I grew up with Bon Scott, it was such a shame he died, he wore the tightest jeans ever!
testicular separation from hell! And noone was left in any doubt as to his dimensions
but no wonder he didn't reproduce
Night, Gutter!
Night, Jules!
Night, Smoke!
Goodnight to all of the lurkers and Anons! You guys sleep well!
Gonna write sumthin' really quick, then I'm calling lights out myself. See you guys tomorrow. :)
Ergo, you're funny!
Anon,
Under The Milky Way is one of my fave songs EVER!
I'm going to go listen to it.
goodnight sdock and smoke sweet dreams
And it's something quite peculiar
Something shimmering and white
Leads you here despite your destination
Under the Milky Way tonight
And its something quite peculiar,
Something thats shimmering and white.
Leads you here despite your destination,
Under the milky way tonight
LOL, Ergo, you could read his mind through his pants?
Now when you say you grew up with Bon Scott, you mean listening to him, right? O_o Not like he was your secret uncle or anything?
stop copying me!
Mayo,
There isn't anything like a night full of laughter.
When you can allow yourself to be happy, things are nice. I hope you're feeling that tonight, too.
Nothing big. Just want you to know that there are people out there who care. Sometimes we aren't told that enough, or we don't believe it, or whatever the reason may be, but you should know.
Have a nice night, Mayo.
SS:
We've put you through the ringer, haven't we? Man, we're an evil bunch of people. ;)
We do miss ya, and we hope things are well, and we hope you are doing well.
And as you say, we're always with you in spirit.
Night, buddy.
I didn't copy you. Look again.
Goodnight, Solly, Smoke, Mustard.
Hello, Jules and Ergo!
Anon, I'd sing along but I'm really horrible.
Argh.
Saaake....
-A
yes I grew up listening and seeing Bon Scott,it took me a long time to get used to Brian.
and K I actually kinda felt sorry for the poor thing, must've almost suffocated!
and I'd forgotten that LOTR! hahaha
thanks anon, I try
the "girls" and their infectious personalities lead me here. Nothing else!

Infectious like.. the Ebola Virus? Zombie Contagion? The Common Cold?
What would get rid of us? Death? A gunshot to the head? Chicken noodle soup?
I've been overthinking things for the last 24 hours. Sry.
-A
I liked that song too star, it was a big hit for the Church, plus Steve was cute
Hiya Star!
LOL Ergo, do you think it ever longed for freedom?
I heard Brian first, and that led me to older AC/DC albums and then I almost preferred Bon Scott. But honestly I liked them both. My first AC/DC song was "Who Made Who." It was really Stephen King who got me into them, which is a little weird.

*leads amyranth to a nice comfy chair*
*takes the sake away*
*pats her hand*
goodnight mustard sweet torronut dreams
Ergo,
Reptile was awesome too. The whole album Starfish was great.
Which one was Steve?
K,
Was "Who Made Who" from Maximum Overdrive"?
Stephen King's Pet Sematary has my favorite movie theme song ever!
K I rememeber them when they first started, they sort of burst into aussie music, there was a show called Cowndown I'd watch religeously each saturday adn they were on that with - Long way to the top? which then got sung as "It's a long wayto the shop if you want a suasage roll"
I always like Jailbreak and TNT
Yeah yeah, Maximum Overdrive! That was one of my favorite movies when I was a kid. Once, on a road trip along the I-95, we stopped at the place where the movie was shot. I freaked out the whole time trying to walk everywhere I'd thought Stephen King must have walked.
Jailbreak, I love that song, too! Ride on and Shake Your Foundations were two of my other favorites.
It's so cool that you got to watch them start out.
Possibly Legionnaire's disease, or smallpox, or the black plague (HA! cheesy pseudo-MCR reference).
Yeah, I know my way around infections.
Mmm...that didn't come out the way it should've!
Hey Ergo, Amy, Star, K, any anons we've accumulated!
I love the sheep video. Laughed like a loon through the whole thing. "Dirty deeds...done with sheep..."
J
shit "Countdown" not what I wrote!
(btw I was about 8)
star Steve was the lead singer,(he used guyliner too)
when Bon Scott would have been 60 they had a music special on him, oh boy watching those old film clips was a hoot!!
I must visit his grave next time I go over to see my brother, actually must ask him if HE has!
BTW, Ergo, the three men carved into Stone Mtn are:
Confederate President Jefferson Davis
General Robert E Lee
Lieutenant General Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson
Stone Mountain is in GA, and it's a memorial depicting three Confederate Civil War heroes. What did you think of the song behind the video? Johnny Cash, can't go wrong there!
J
Dude, where'd my sake go?
And for that matter, where's the cords for my MP3 player and my digital camera?
-A is aggravated.
oh thanks J the whole thing was really great!
and I think "Thunderstruck" is the BEST AC/DC song ever
i like Back in Black
Shook Me All Nite Long is one of my favs
"Thunderstruck" is Logan's favorite AC/DC song, that's for certain. :D
I always liked Bon better than Brian. Not that Brian is bad, not at all. But Bon was the original, you know? He had such charisma. That presence, that makes a great lead singer.
J
The first AC DC song I ever heard was Big Ball. My best guy friend David played it for me when we were ten years old, and he had to explain to me what it was about. I giggled.
Back in black, I hit the sack,
I've been too long, I'm glad to be back
Yes I'm let loose from the noose,
That's kept me hangin' about
I been livin like a star 'cause it's gettin' me high,
Forget the hearse, 'cause I never die
I got nine lives, cat's eyes
abusing every one of them and running wild
[Chorus]
'Cause I'm back! Yes, I'm back!
Well, I'm back! Yes, I'm back!
Well, I'm baaack, baaack...
Well, I'm back in black,
Yes, I'm back in black!
Back in a band,i got Cadillac,
Number one with a bullet, I'm a power pack
Yes I'm in a band with a gang,
they gotta catch me if they want me to hang
'Cause I'm back on the track and I'm beatin' the flack,
Nobody's gonna get me on another rap
So look at me now, I'm just a makin' my pay,
Don't try to push your luck, just get outta my way
[Chorus]
'Cause I'm back! Yes, I'm back!
Well, I'm back! Yeah, I'm back!
Well, I'm baaack, baaack...
Well, I'm back in black,
Yes, I'm back in black!
Let's go!
OOPS!
Big Balls, obviously!
I'm giggling again!
I don't know if I actually have a favorite AC/DC song. I liked them all. They're more an experience than a band, kind of like David Bowie and his various incarnations.
J
You shook me all night long
She was a fast machine,
She kept her motor clean,
She was the best damn woman
that I ever seen.
She had the sightless eyes,
Telling me no lies,
Knockin' me out with
them American thighs.
Taking more than her share,
Had me fighting for air,
She told me to come but I
was already there.
'Cause the walls start shaking,
The earth was quaking,
My mind was aching,
And we were making it and you.
Shook me all night long,
Yeah you,
Shook me all night long,
Working double time,
On her seduction line,
She was one of a kind, she's
just mine all mine,
Wanted no applause,
Just another course,
Made a meal out of me,
And come back for more.
Had to cool me down,
To take another round,
Now I'm back in the ring to
take another swing.
That the walls was shaking,
The earth was quaking,
My mind was aching,
And we were making it and you.
Shook me all night long,
Yeah you,
Shook me all night long,
Knocked me out and then you,
Shook me all night long,
Had me shakin' then you,
Shook me all night long,
Yeah ya shook me,
Well ya took me!
You really took me and you,
Shook me all night long,
Ohooooo you,
Shook me all night long,
Yeah, yeah you,
Shook me all night long,
Ya really got me and you,
Shook me all night long,
Yeah ya shook me,
Yeah ya shook me,
All night long!
Back In Black was the first song I learned to play on guitar. YSMANL is a total dance-floor fave, that one gets played by every DJ in the world. My friend Casse and I made up our own interpretive dance moves to it. It's hard to explain. O_o
yep shook me all night long is a good one, always fills a dancefloor.
K have you seen the clip for Jailbreak?
you tell me it's not begging for freedom!
So Amy, did I read that you got a promotion or a bonus or something?
J
yep shook me all night long is a good one, always fills a dancefloor.
Depending on the party, it can be the only song that will fill a dance floor.
-A
always wondered what American thighs were though..
very true J And I love all of David Bowie's personas
song about the wife
J,
Ugh. A "promotion". They're putting me in charge of all the pets in the store, including the snake that hates me.
I'm not sure I wanna keep on keepin on with these guys.
-A
one of the reasons my taste in music is obscure
ac/dc on Countdown, 76
My taste in music is all over the map.
-A
me!
Meow?
-A
me!
Oooh. Sorry Ergo, heretofor and notwithstanding.
-A found her sake.
damn you amyranth!
lol really congratulations
so the snake hates you?
He had an armadillo in his trousers! It's really quite frightening!
Oh man, Ergo, thanks for posting that. I haven't seen that clip since the days of Headbanger's Ball.
I thought Angus Young was so cute.
Ergo, the snake is a hatchling. And yes, it hates me.
On our first meeting, it tried to bite me, thrice.
-A
This ha sno bearing on anything that has been mentioned recently but I'd like to point out that Shannon Leto is one of the most beautiful boys like, in the entire world, ever. I know it sounds crazy but I think he's better looking than his brother, and Jared is just fully gorgeous, I don't deny. But all boys should have those wickedly arched eyebrows. You know?
Also Shannon Leto >>>>>>> most drummers out there today, just saying.
'Cause I'm T.N.T. I'm dynamite
(T.N.T.) and I'll win the fight
(T.N.T.) I'm a power load
(T.N.T.) watch me explode
T.N.T., (oi, oi, oi)
T.N.T., (oi, oi, oi)
T.N.T., (oi, oi, oi)
T.N.T., (oi, oi, oi)
T.N.T., (oi, oi, oi) , I'm dynamite
(T.N.T., oi, oi, oi), and I'll win the fight,
(T.N.T., oi, oi, oi), I'm a power load
(T.N.T.), watch me explode!
Mine too, A. I like lots of different kinds of music: punk (well DUH), alternative, classical, '80s, some '60s, some hard rock, some metal, and old-school country. I don't like techno, rap (except for the Beastie Boys), bluegrass (AAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!), opera, new country, and what I call "marshmallow music".
Well, I'll make one concession to the rap: Frank's attempt in Philly. That was...pretty good.
