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......

My Latest Poem

'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)


'One-Two One-Two Zero-Two (12/12/02)

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?
