Christmas Joke (Taken From Vin)
2010's First Christmas Joke
Three men died on Christmas Eve and were met by Saint Peter at the pearly gates.
'In honor of this holy season' Saint Peter said, 'You must each possess something that symbolizes Christmas to get into heaven.'
The man from Nova Scotia fumbled through his pockets and pulled out a lighter. He flicked it on. 'It represents a candle', he said.
'You may pass through the pearly gates' Saint Peter said.
The man from Saskatchewan reached into his pocket and pulled out a set of keys. He shook them and said, 'They're bells.'
Saint Peter said 'You may pass through the pearly gates'.
The Newfoundlander started searching desperately through his pockets and finally pulled out a pair of women's panties.
St. Peter looked at the man with a raised eyebrow and asked, 'And just what do those symbolize?'
The Newfie replied, 'These are Carols.'
And So The Christmas Season
Begins......

'Fall'
Leaves are floating to the ground
and there'll never be another year.
The meaning of this,
F-all!
The bark is something to lean on
Head into the winter...

An old poem of mine (Dedicated to someone special)
I was running towards a goal,
having a ball with the one I was most fond of,
with confidence and comfort in the side I was on.
And as the yards went on,
I would go longer on the run,
with blissful ignorance that our time together was limited,
even more so when I had a substitute
but eventually the truth becomes one-two one-two zero-two
when you take your ball and go home.

Again, Rivers Tells It Like It Is/ Was?
2 out of 2 as regards song lyrics I like off Weezer's latest album.
"Losing My Mind"
It's another night, stumbling around the town
Lookin' for action, totally wasted and trying to find a date
I could be killed, I could be arrested, but I don't care no more
I just wanna find the thrill that I felt once before
I'm losing my mind
I'm going insane
I'm watching my life go down the drain
Maybe I'll find the answers in one of these night clubs
And one of the people I meet, maybe they'll tell me
That everything's gonna be fine and we can't quit the wild life we know
We've reached the finish line, honey, now we can go home
I'm losing my mind
I'm going insane
I'm watching my life go down the drain
I'm running out of energy, and I have to lie down
Right here on the sidewalk, next to the shoe town
I hope nobody bothers me 'cause I'm so tired
And empty, life means nothing anymore
I'm losing my mind
I'm going insane
I'm watching my life go down the drain
I'm losing my mind
I'm going insane
I'm watching my life go down the drain
I'm watching my life go down the drain

Wise Words Of Maynard
"I'm very resistant to the idea of being a public-servant and it being my responsibility to educate because i'm not really qualified to do any of those things. I write these songs to move through some pain or work out some issues and if i'm succesful in my art and my expression, I shouldn't feel the same way I did when I wrote those songs anymore and there should be a logical progression but if, as an artist, I can express myself in some way that ends up helping someone else get through some hard times, I guess that's great for everybody. It helps other people. The problem with the music industry in general is that artists get into it because they have a desire to be desired and a desire to scream their heads off for whatever issue happened to them in the past, they weren't armed with the proper tools to move through any trauma (divorce/loss of parents). At some point they get popular and now they're part of an industry that's run by people that are uneducated emotionally. In a way it's kind of a dead end. In this society, we expect those artists to continue screaming to the end of their days. If you don't eventually feel better, i'm not sure how effective your screaming was and your screaming is gonna help somebody else so I should work out of those issues and move onto some other challanges. If the songs don't help me, how are they gonna help you?

Rivers Cuomo Knows The Scoop!
'I'm A Robot' (Weezer)
'I ride the train to work every day
I reach my cubicle about 9am
I have to earn money to pay my bills
but I don't know how my life turned out this way
I'm a robot
I'm a robot
I don't have any feeling in my heart
I have a wife and a child waiting at home
Occasionally, I give my Dog a bone
If i'm feeling wacky, then I might
drink a quart of vodka, spend the night down in the gutter
I'm a robot
I'm a robot
I don't have any feeling in my heart
Don't you worry
Don't you worry about me
This is how my Father was
How his Father was
Don't you worry
Don't you worry about me

My Latest Poem ( Has No Connection to Picture)
'The First Journey Of A Hair'
Tip your hat if it serves you well
and others may follow
and you'll be uncomfortable as the head of a line.
Rub your temples to deal with stress
because you have no control over what goes on inside
Purse your lips
when in a headlock
Be a man
and curse a buoy
under your breath
And now all that's under your belt....
Knocking knees are a kick in the teeth
But don't judge yourself too harshly
as a defence mechanism.
Stand on your own two feet
in a dance with yourself
and resent that you're lead.

'Urban Tiger'
Bringing colour to this concrete-jungle
that has to be hunted down.
My gun leads me to your part of town
but it can't be used
if I want to come back and see you.
Your graceful movement around the stiffened,
though it's hard in this situation to step on toes,
is an unwritten rule in certain places
with people just like me.
And I feel so rigid!

" Cigarette-Filter Nipples "
(An old poem of mine)
Going to the orange like clockwork.
It's a natural laxative
to filter out the cancer that is inside of you.
I only want one slice

"Borders Are…" by Serj Tankian
Borders Surround
Borders Bound
Borders Marginalize
Borders Frame
Borders Divide
Borders Kill
Borders are the ultimate man-made walls separating and differentiating us beyond our cultures, beyond our beliefs, beyond economic hierarchies.
Borders are subjective, unnatural lines drawn by humans delineating land, water, and air for partisan collective utilization.
If borders were natural, other animals, in fact, all beings would be bound by them. Obviously, they aren't.
Indigenous cultures never recognized borders, cognizant of the fact that the land owns us and not the other way around.
Borders lead to war, occupation, and bigotry, even genocide. Worst of all, borders are a deceptive, yet constant reinforcement of the notion that we are alone, separate from each other and all things around us.
The multi-layered borders of our lives stratify separation in its undignified definition.
There are people dying in Kashmir due to border disputes. Shots are fired daily between North and South Korea over border disputes. The Berlin Wall separated the German people for almost half a century, at the border. Israel and Palestine continue to endure conflict over their borders, and the predecessors of modern-day Turkey (Ottoman Empire) felt they had to carry out genocide to protect their borders.
Borders represent the foundation of civilization, expansionism, abusive capitalism, and presumptive occupation.
Floods don't recognize borders.
Earthquakes don't recognize borders.
Diseases, famine, and drought don't recognize borders.
Why should we?
We deserve to live without the borders of mind, body, and spirit.
Given the unprecedented changes we are witnessing in the world.
We really have no choice.

Some Lyrics From A Song 'The Butcher Boy' In The Book I'm Reading Of The Same Name. I Like Both
" I wish my baby it was born
And smiling on its daddy's knee
And me poor girl to be dead and gone
With the long green grass growing over me.
He went upstairs and the door he broke
He found her hanging from a rope
He took his knife and he cut her down
And in her pocket these words he found
Oh make my grave large wide and deep
Put a marble stone at my head and feet
And in the middle a turtle dove
That the world may know I died for love.
And smiling on its daddy's knee
And me poor girl to be dead and gone
With the long green grass growing over me.
He went upstairs and the door he broke
He found her hanging from a rope
He took his knife and he cut her down
And in her pocket these words he found
Oh make my grave large wide and deep
Put a marble stone at my head and feet
And in the middle a turtle dove
That the world may know I died for love.

Una Sigaretta
Many meanings.
1. Would El Capitano like the homeland Pop Tune?
2. My World Cup 2010 Italian team theme song. (Can they win 2 World Cups in a row since his absence?)
3. My ambition to quit smoking completly from Sat the 26th of June 2010 with pure will-power, just like he did.
A CIGARETTE
(Fred Buscaglione/Leo Chiosso)
(Translations from internet, hopefully they're accurate)
before i finish this cigarette
you will say yes, or maybe no,
you can think about it,
don't be too fast
you have still a lot of time
the time of a cigarette
i watch lazy, the fragrant spirals
you see,
i smoke in small puffs
i would like to stop
this bit of fire
i would like to stop the time,
but times goes on.
you see it burns down, this cigarette
you'll say yes, or maybe no
minutes go on,
maybe too fast
i look in your eyes
smoking this cigarette
look how is burning this cigarette
you could say yes, but you said no!
a sweet dream is dying
born too early
i go away my love
and i put out
this cigarette

My Latest Poem
'Stale Mate'
She's one up on a rainbow,
every colour at once.
I'm the absence of light.
A checkered past that the bishops won't see.
We want everyone to walk all over us
because we are board!
The Kings have long since fallen
but there's knights on the tiles.
Does everyone have their bread grilled?

'Grey-Patch Beard'
An inevitable arrival
that brings a little light to the darkness.
One that doesn't fit right
into unwelcoming arms.
A frown pushes you down
A mouth that's growing uglier places the blame elsewhere.
Stick a dagger to the side to try and make things as they were.
Given time the light spreads right across the face.

A Dog leads me and a giant sack
that holds presents for bold children only.
That is every single child
because i'm childless.
I'm working every day
preparing for some.
I rarely change my outfit
Controlled by a beverage company.
My woman is cold all of the time
with little help.

One who does what the Friend wants done
will never need a friend.
There's a bankruptcy that's pure gain.
The moon stays bright when it
doesn't avoid the night.
A rose's rarest essence
lives in the thorn.

Woody Allen is a frickin legend! (For one other reason as well as this poem)
'My Next Life'
(by Woody Allen)
In my next life I want to live backwards.
You start out dead and get that out of the way.
Then you wake up in an old people's home
feeling better every day.
You get kicked out for being too healthy,
go collect your pension,
and then when you start work, you get a gold watch and a party on your first day.
You work for 40 years until you are young enough to enjoy your retirement
You party, drink alcohol, and are generally promiscuous, then you are ready for high-school.
You then go to primary-school,
you become a kid, you play.
You have no responsibilities,
you become a baby until you are born.
And then you spend your last 9 months floating in luxurious spa-like conditions with central heating and room-sevice on tap, larger quarters every day, and then, Voila!
You finish off as an orgasm.

Life Explained
Life: Explained
A boat docked in a tiny Mexican village. An American tourist complimented the Mexican fisherman on the quality of his fish and asked how long it took him to catch them.
"Not very long," answered the Mexican.
"But then, why didn't you stay out longer and catch more?" asked the American.
The Mexican explained that his small catch was sufficient to meet his needs and those of his family.
The American asked, "But what do you do with the rest of your time?"
"I sleep late, fish a little, play with my children, and take a siesta with my wife. In the evenings, I go into the village to see my friends, have a few drinks, play the guitar, and sing a few songs. I have a full life."
The American interrupted, "I have an MBA from Harvard and I can help you! You should start by fishing longer every day. You can then sell the extra fish you catch. With the extra revenue, you can buy a bigger boat."
"And after that?" asked the Mexican.
"With the extra money the larger boat will bring, you can buy a second one and a third one and so on until you have an entire fleet of trawlers. Instead of selling your fish to a middle man, you can then negotiate directly with the processing plants and maybe even open your own plant. You can then leave this little village and move to Mexico City, Los Angeles, or even New York City! From there you can direct your huge new enterprise."
"How long would that take?" asked the Mexican.
"Twenty, perhaps twenty-five years," replied the American.
"And after that?"
"Afterwards? Well my friend, that's when it gets really interesting," answered the American, laughing. "When your business gets really big, you can start buying and selling stocks and make millions!"
"Millions? Really? And after that?" asked the Mexican.
"After that you'll be able to retire, live in a tiny village near the coast, sleep late, play with your children, catch a few fish, take a siesta with your wife and spend your evenings drinking and enjoying your friends."
And the moral of this story is: ......... Know where you're going in life... you may already be there.

"But then, why didn't you stay out longer and catch more?" asked the American.
The Mexican explained that his small catch was sufficient to meet his needs and those of his family.
The American asked, "But what do you do with the rest of your time?"
"I sleep late, fish a little, play with my children, and take a siesta with my wife. In the evenings, I go into the village to see my friends, have a few drinks, play the guitar, and sing a few songs. I have a full life."
The American interrupted, "I have an MBA from Harvard and I can help you! You should start by fishing longer every day. You can then sell the extra fish you catch. With the extra revenue, you can buy a bigger boat."
"And after that?" asked the Mexican.
"With the extra money the larger boat will bring, you can buy a second one and a third one and so on until you have an entire fleet of trawlers. Instead of selling your fish to a middle man, you can then negotiate directly with the processing plants and maybe even open your own plant. You can then leave this little village and move to Mexico City, Los Angeles, or even New York City! From there you can direct your huge new enterprise."
"How long would that take?" asked the Mexican.
"Twenty, perhaps twenty-five years," replied the American.
"And after that?"
"Afterwards? Well my friend, that's when it gets really interesting," answered the American, laughing. "When your business gets really big, you can start buying and selling stocks and make millions!"
"Millions? Really? And after that?" asked the Mexican.
"After that you'll be able to retire, live in a tiny village near the coast, sleep late, play with your children, catch a few fish, take a siesta with your wife and spend your evenings drinking and enjoying your friends."
And the moral of this story is: ......... Know where you're going in life... you may already be there.

Do your homework!
A priest offered a lift to a Nun. She got in and crossed her legs, forcing her gown to reveal a leg. The priest nearly had an accident. After controlling the car, he stealthily slid his hand up her leg. The nun said,”Father, remember Psalm 129?” The priest removed his hand. But,changing gears, he let his hand slide up her leg again. The nun once again said, “Father, remember Psalm 129?” The priest apologized “Sorry sister but the flesh is weak.” Arriving at the convent, the nun went on her way. On his arrival at the church, the priest rushed to look up Psalm 129. It said, “Go forth and seek, further up, you will find glory.”
