novy:
and just for good measure--



"She had that
Camarillo brillo
Flamin out along her head,
I mean her mendocino bean-o
By where some bugs had made it red

She ruled the toads
Of the short forest
And every newt in idaho
And every cricket who had chorused
By the bush in buffalo

She said she was
A magic mama
And she could throw a mean tarot
And carried on without a comma
That she was someone I should know

She had a snake for a pet
And an amulet
And she was breeding a dwarf
But she wasnt done yet
She had gray-green skin
A doll with a pin
I told her she was awright
But I couldnt come in
(I couldnt come in right then...)

And so she wandered
Trough the door-way
Just like a shadow from the tomb
She said her stereo was four-way
An Id just love it in her room

Well, I was born
To have adventure
So I just followed up the steps
Right past her fuming incense stencher
To where she hung her castanets

She stripped away
Her ranchid poncho
An laid out naked by the door
We did it till we were un-concho
An it was useless any more

She had a snake for a pet
And an amulet
And she was breeding a dwarf
But she wasnt done yet
She had gray-green skin
A doll with a pin
I told her she was awright
But I couldnt come in
(actually, I was very busy then)

And so she wandered
Trough the door-way
Just like a shadow from the tomb
She said her stereo was four-way
An Id just love it in her room

Well, I was born
To have adventure
So I just followed up the steps
Right past her fuming incense stencher
To where she hung her castanets

She said she was
A magic mama
And she could throw a mean tarot
And carried on without a comma
That she was someone I should know

(is that a real poncho...i mean
Is that a mexican poncho
Or is that a sears poncho?
Hmmm...no foolin ...)"
maelwys:
Unusual name, but has a certain ring to it. I have to warn you though, I cant play any instrument bar the keyboard. A good idea nonetheless.

That is no country for old men. The young
In one another's arms, birds in the trees-
Those dying generations- at their song,
The salmon-falls, the mackerel-crowded seas,
Fish, flesh, or fowl, commend all summer long
Whatever is begotten, born, and dies.
Caught in that sensual music all neglect
Monuments of unageing intellect.

An aged man is but a paltry thing,
A tattered coat upon a stick, unless
Soul clap its hands and sing, and louder sing
For every tatter in its mortal dress,
Nor is there singing school but studying
Monuments of its own magnificence:
And therefore I have sailed the seas and come
To the holy city of Byzantium

O sages standing in God's holy fire
As in the gold mosaic of a wall,
Come from the holy fire, perne in a gyre,
And be the singing-masters of my soul.
Consume my heart away; sick with desire
And fastened to a dying animal
It knows not what it is; and gather me
Into the artifice of eternity,

Once out of nature I shall never take
My bodily form from any natural thing,
But such a form as Grecian goldsmiths make
Of hammered gold and gold enamelling
To keep a drowsy Emperor awake;
Or set upon a golden bough to sing
To lords and ladies of Byzantium
Of what is past, or passing, or to come

William Yeats - Sailing to Byzantium

examine life.
breath in - breath out.
embrace indifference.
breath in - breath out.
soak in nothingness.

happy friday brotha...
m0ngrel:
that's plenty of time, lol....
i use to be a chicago kid on a very similar schedual... opus hasn't been around for a while, like 10 years or so. So you haven't missed anything you couldn't browse at the bookstore. Just pick up the comic section of this sunday's newspaper when you wizz past the coffee shop and look for the dude in the tux...

4:20 update- (i wasn't aware of the time- swear to god!)

while listening to the good people at dublab.com, i realized 2 music related things-

1. ostinatos are very relaxing to me. (if you don't know what they are- ask vitaminpink.)
2. i love 1940's jazz songs WAY better then modern jazz.

Hello kids- Welcome to Vent_Outlet_INC!

the way we see it, there is too much happiness in the world. of course- most of it caused by those godamn hippies- but recent studies reveal that many ordinary people are occasioally happy as well!

we are here to remind all of you that life actually sucks, and it is YOUR choice whether to shrug it off or let...

Something is wonky with my IE and when I use netscape there is no "save entry" button, so I couldn't udate my journal even if I wanted to. I'll figure it out eventually...but I'm too tired. I'll also try to think of a hate list when I'm less exhausted.
suprpkl:
hate:
1. Suburbanites that don't know how to handle the 16 lanes of traffic on the interstate downtown, and then proceed to cause an accident which brings traffic to a halt for three hours
2. People that come back from the dead, especially if I'm the one that killed them
3. Racists
4. Hippies that have become republicans
5. hippies
6. Bad movies, and that's bad in a bad way not in a good way
7. Kelly Osbourne
8. Bad musicians playing bad music *coughWhiteMicecough*
9. People that want me to do lots of extra unneccesary work for them at the Recital Hall and don't expect me to bill them.
10. Having only one boss in reality, but having every professor that I stage manage for think that he or she is also my boss
11. Finding out a day in advance that a show has been added and I need to be in at 7 AM, especially since I've already made plans to go out that night

suprpkl:
Confusion when a name changes on my "friends" list
suprpkl:

you know- when i'm bored and i don't have my tunes with me, i usually do the entire dialogue between dennis hopper and christopher walken from true romance.

it's a good few minutes if you do it in real time and i enjoy perfecting the nuances in the actors' pitch.
i do it at least once a day and enjoy it as a form of...

1. Rock 'em sock 'em robots are a fine toy. There are two robots in a boxing ring and you press these buttons and they beat the hell out of each other.
2. I'm an 80's fan in general.....seeing as how I was born in 81. I'm an 80's child. My fondness extends mostly to the stuff that would appeal to an 80's toddler or pre-teen. But I've come to appreciate other 80's stuff as I've gotten older.
3. I saw "Le Jetee" in class.
4. What are fishermans friends?
5. Michel Gondry directed all those fucking awesome Bjork videos, as well as videos for The White Stripes, Beck, Massive Attack, and so on. Also some commercials and short films. He had a movie out called "Human Nature" that I have yet to see, but the script was written by Charlie Kaufman. He has a couple other full length features coming out soon....one with Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet.
6. No, the blue make-up extended from one ear, over his brow, to the other ear.
7. Twas brillig and the slithey toves did gyre and gimble in the wabe. All mimsy were the borogoves and the momeraths outgrabe. (from "Alice Through the Looking Glass" second part to "Alice in Wonderland", Poem called "Jabberwocky" by Lewis Carroll)
8. Oh, and about the acid thing. I actually had an English professor tell the class that the one of the biggest things he regrets is not trying acid when he was younger. I get what he was saying. hmph

twasbrillig:
1. Yeah I know....I'm too young to be skerred....but I am.
2. I think it's from a couple of bad weed smoking experiences.
3. If I have a couple bad weed smoking experiences, imagine what could happen with acid. I don't wanna.
4. I can't eat fishermans friends....never had 'em, don't want 'em.
5. I was raised on very bland food. My palette is highly sensitive. I don't like being in pain when I eat.
6. I loved BJM until the last 45 minutes or so. Then it just fell apart. It was disappointing. But I still love it for the most part.
7. lists
8. fucking
9. rule
10. ummmm.... EL SUICIDO LOCO

Was that better sir?
