  I've had three hours of sleep. After five hours the night before. Not a bad average, 8 out of forty.

Hullabaloo? Timbuktu. Absolutely none for you. Or me.

Or at least I don't want any of that Timbuktu nonsense.

Woosh!

2000 years ago


2000 years ago I'm sure the romans were quite content
this will never end
1000 years last forever
this christian thing is just a fad
it will pass
oh the glory that was rome
the power
the conquest
the greatest thing since
Athens
What did the Romans think?
were they like us?
fiddling while
Rome burned
not like us
we have a stimulous package..

mood: drunk
music: 10,000 maniacs



I could feel at the time
There was no way of knowing
Fallen leaves in the night
Who can say where they're blowing
As free as the wind
And hopefully learning
Why the sea on the tide
Has no way of turning

More than this - there is nothing
More than this - tell me one thing
More than this - there is nothing
It was fun for a while
There was no way of knowing
Like a dream in the night
Who can say where we're going
No care in the world
Maybe I'm learning
Why the sea on the tide
Has no way of turning

More than this - there is nothing
More than this - tell me one thing
More than this - there is nothing

SURE YOUR BEAUTIFUL NOW..ALL THE MEN LOVE YOU..
FUTURE GENERATIONS WILL BOW DOWN AT YOUR FEET
BUT TIME IS A THIEF- THE ANGRY MAN SAID
BUT WHAT WILL YOU LOOK LIKE IN 40 YEARS
LONG AFTER MY LIVER HAS DIED..AND OUR SONGS HAVE BEEN SUNG
WHAT THEN?OR WILL PEOPLE JUST REMEMBER YOU FOR WHAT YOU WERE?

  van gogh had days like this sometimes i begin to think the light has gone out
i'd write a story paint a picture
it wasnt much
but it was something
a sign of life..
now
all that remains is a sense of futility
and despair
i watch i wait
i stopped writing and painting
they remain buried under the dust under the bed..
perhaps in 100 years some one will find them
and think
jesus who made this crap?!

mood: crazy
music: Tool - Right in Two /René Laloux


Angels on the sideline,
Puzzled and amused.
Why did Father give these humans free will?
Now they're all confused.

Don't these talking monkeys know that
Eden has enough to go around?
Plenty in this holy garden, silly monkeys,
where there's one you're bound to divide it

Right in two

Angels on the sideline,
Baffled and confused.
Father blessed them all with reason.
And this is what they choose.
(and this is what they choose)
Monkey killing monkey killing monkey
Over pieces of the ground.

Silly monkeys give them thumbs,
They forge a blade,
And where there's one they're
bound to divide it,

Right in two.
Right in two.

Monkey killing monkey killing monkey
Over pieces of the ground.
Silly monkeys give them thumbs, they make a club
And beat their brother down.

How they survive so misguided is a mystery.
Repugnant is a creature who would squander the ability
to lift an eye to heaven conscious of his fleeting time here.

cut it, divide it all right in two (x4)


They fight, till they die
Over earth, over sky
They fight
Over lies, over blood, over air
And light, over love, over son
Over blood
They fight, till they die, over what? for our lies!

Angels on the sideline again
Benched along with patience and reason
Angels on the sideline again
Wondering when this tug of war will end

cut it, divide it all right in two (x3)
Right in two

Right in two...

So familiar and overwhelmingly warm
This one, this form I hold now.
Embracing you, this reality here,
This one, this form I hold now, so
Wide eyed and hopeful.
Wide eyed and hopefully wild.

We barely remember what came before this precious moment,
Choosing to be here right now. Hold on, stay inside...
This body holding me, reminding me that I am not alone in
This body makes me feel eternal. All this pain is an illusion.

We barely remember who or what came before this precious moment,
We are choosing to be here right now. Hold on, stay inside
This holy reality, this holy experience.
Choosing to be here in

This body. This body holding me. Be my reminder here that I am not alone in
This body, this body holding me, feeling eternal
All this pain is an illusion.

Alive, I

In this holy reality, in this holy experience. Choosing to be here in

This body. This body holding me. Be my reminder here that I am not alone in
This body, this body holding me, feeling eternal
All this pain is an illusion.

Twirling round with this familiar parable.
Spinning, weaving round each new experience.
Recognize this as a holy gift and celebrate this chance to be alive and breathing.

This body holding me reminds me of my own mortality.
Embrace this moment. Remember. We are eternal.
All this pain is an illusion.

a man gets on a bus in dublin.. 
  billysands
 
08:45pm 15/12/2008
 
mood: plastered
music: madonna act of contrition



a drunk is riding a bus in dublin
and he spies a nun
a very fetching nun
which he fancies
he approaches her
and grabs her
informing her she is the most beautiful womeN in the world
she screams slaps the drunk and runs off the bus in shock..
as the drunk staggers off the bus..
the bus driver addresses him..
"you fancy that nun do you?"
"indeed i do" replies the extremely inebriated tourist
"weeeeeeeeeeeeeell, a lot of men do.. she has a reputation..would you like to meet her?"
"i just tried didnt work very well"
"no no yank you didnt go about it proper..sister..Eilleen..has certain tastes.."
"see i know about sister Eilleen..what you have to do is meet her in St Stephen's Green about 7 pm..but you'll have to dress up as jesus christ and tell her your the son of god..do that and she'll let you have it..a fetish you see.."
The lustfll drunk sobers up buys a jesus outfit and heads to St Stephen's Green..sure enough at seven pm its dark but there she is just behind a bush..the drunk informs the nun
that he is indeed the son of god..the nun lifts up the back of her robe and lets the lustfull drunk have his way..
after the dirty deed is done..
the drunk has a tremendous pang of guilt
"OH MY GOD WHAT HAVE I DONE?! SISTER FORGIVE ME! I HAVE TO CONFESS..I AM NOT
THE SON OF GOD..I'M JUST A BLOODY TOURIST!"
"WELL AS LONG AS WERE CONFESSING I HAVE ONE..I'M NOT REALLY A NUN..
I'M A BUS DRIVER.."



this joke was told to me in temple bar about five minutes before i filmed this the bloke who told me the joke can be heard in the backround..tonite someone told me an american version of this joke but instead of a bus it was a taxicab and the nun was some bloke going to a costume party..funny thing jokes

Hello.
Is there anybody in there?
Just nod if you can hear me.
Is there anyone home?

Come on, now.
I hear youre feeling down.
Well I can ease your pain,
Get you on your feet again.

Relax.
I need some information first.
Just the basic facts:
Can you show me where it hurts?

There is no pain, you are receding.
A distant ships smoke on the horizon.
You are only coming through in waves.
Your lips move but I cant hear what youre sayin.
When I was a child I had a fever.
My hands felt just like two balloons.
Now I got that feeling once again.
I cant explain, you would not understand.
This is not how I am.
I have become comfortably numb.

Ok.
Just a little pinprick.
Therell be no more --aaaaaahhhhh!
But you may feel a little sick.

Can you stand up?
I do believe its working. good.
Thatll keep you going for the show.
Come on its time to go.

There is no pain, you are receding.
A distant ships smoke on the horizon.
You are only coming through in waves.
Your lips move but I cant hear what youre sayin.
When I was a child I caught a fleeting glimpse,
Out of the corner of my eye.
I turned to look but it was gone.
I cannot put my finger on it now.
The child is grown, the dream is gone.
I have become comfortably numb.

mood: call the men in the white coat
music: stones
If I could stick my pen in my heart
I'd spill it all over the stage
Would it satisfy ya or would slide on by ya?
Or would you think this boy is strange?
Ain't he strayayange?
If I could win you
if I could sing you
a love song so divine.
Would it be enough for your cheating heart
If I broke down and cried? -
If I criyiyied.

I said I know it's only rock and roll
But I like it.
I said I know
it's only rock and roll
But I like it
like it
yes I do.
Well
I like it
oh yes
I like it
I like it
I said: Can't you see this old boy's getting lonely?

If I could stick a knife in my heart
Suicide right on the stage
Would it be enough for your teenage lust?
Would it help ease your pain?
Ease your brain if I could dig down deep in my heart
Feelings would flood on the page
Would it satisfy ya
would it slide on by ya?
Would you think the boy's insane?
He's insayayane.

I said I know
it's only rock and roll
. . .

Don't you think that you're the only girl around
I bet you think that you're the only woman in town.

I said I know it's only rock and roll

music: aux Champs-Élysées, "Joe Dassin"


One day in November of 1984 i finally found myself in Paris France walking down the Champs-Élysées,it was dusk the eiffel tower was all lit up and a million crazy frenchman were driving their citroens,peugeots and renaults at about a million kilmeters and hour all around the place del la concorde.
and all of a sudden i burst into tears, i cried like small child i just wept
people french people even asked me if i was alright IN ENGLish
ca va bien..i'm alright..as a matter of fact i think it was the only time in my entire life i was alright..was that brief moment in paris on the

Champs-Élysées, crying like a bitchchienne in the most beautiful place in the world




http://artists.letssingit.com/joe-dassin-lyrics-les-champs-elysees-r249vmf

Je m'baladais sur l'Avenue
le coeur ouvert à l'inconnu.
J'avais envie de dire bonjour
à n'importe qui,
n'importe qui ce fut toi,
je t'ai dit n'importe quoi.
Il suffisait de te parler,
pour t'apprivoiser.

(refrain)
Aux Champs-Élysées,
aux Champs-Élysées
au soleil, sous la pluie,
à midi ou à minuit
il y a tout ce que vous voulez
aux Champs-Élysées.

Tu m'as dit : J'ai rendez-vous
dans un sous-sol avec des fous
qui vivent la guitare à la main
du soir au matin
Alors, je t'ai accompagnée,
on a chanté, on a dansé,
et l'on n'a même pas pensé
à s'embrasser.

(refrain)
Aux Champs-Élysées...

Hier soir deux inconnus,
et ce matin sur l'Avenue,
deux amoureux tout étourdis
par la longue nuit.
Et de l'Étoile á la Concorde
un orchestre à mille cordes :
tous les oiseaux du point du jour
chantent l'amour.

(refrain)
Aux Champs-Élysées ...

mood: just roll another joint
music: tom petty you dont know how it feels

Let me run with you tonight
I'll take you on a moonlight ride
There's someone I used to see
But she don't give a damn for me

But let me get to the point, let's roll another joint
And turn the radio loud, I'm too alone to be proud
You don't know how it feels
You don't know how it feels to be me

People come, people go
Some grow young, some grow old
I woke up in between
A memory and a dream

So let's get to the point, let's roll another joint
Let's head on down the road
There's somewhere I gotta go
And you don't know how it feels
You don't know how it feels to be me

My old man was born to rock
He's still tryin' to beat the clock
Think of me what you will
I've got a little space to fill

So let's get to the point, let's roll another joint
And let's head on down the road
There's somewhere I got to go
And you don't know how it feels
You don't know how it feels
No, you don't know how it feels to be me

You don't know how it feels
You don't know how it feels
No, you don't know how it feels to be me

The Quest: James Wright 
  sagacious_wolf
 
03:46pm 04/12/2008
  In pasture where the leaf and wood
Were lorn of all delicious apple,
And underfoot a long and supple
Bough leaned down to dip in mud,
I came before the dark to stare
At a gray nest blown in a swirl,
As in the arm of a dead girl
Crippled and torn and laid out bare.

On a hill I came to a bare house
A crept beside its bleary windows,
But no one lived in those gray hollows,
And rabbits ate the dying grass.
I stood upright, and beat the door,
Alone, indifferent, and aloof
To pebbles rolling down the roof
And dust the filmed the deadened air.

High and behind, where twilight chewed
Severer planes of hills away,
And the bonehouse of a rabbit lay
Dissolving by the darkening road,
I came, and rose to meet the sky,
And reached my fingers to a nest
Of stars laid upward in the west;
They hung too high; my hands fell empty.

So, as you sleep, I seek your bed
And lay my careful, quiet ear
Among the nestings of your hair,
Against your tenuous, fragile head,
And hear the birds beneath your eyes
Stirring for birth, and know the world
Immeasurably alive and good,
Though bare as rifted paradise.
