PRODIGIOUS PROCRASTINATOR!

WOOT WOOT!

eh-hem.

I AM A PRODIGIOUS PROCRASTINATOR!!

shut up.

NO!

do you want me to lose my temper?

YES!

fool, i am more powerful than you could ever imagine.

(falsely high voice) oh no! i have angered her!

you are walking a line, my friend.

"get off of your white horse, and you're how it should be"

"everything you say to me (takes me one step closer to the edge) i need a little room to breathe (cause I'm one step closer to the edge) and I'm about to BREAK!"

oh geez, now i've got her going.

"how could this happen to me? i made my mistakes, the night goes on as i'm fading away..."

"... mm, i get high with a little help from my friends."

goodness knows what I am writing about... I don't really feel like I have anything to say... well, that is not entirely true. I have plenty of things to say, like:

FUCK YOU, BUSH!!!

ah, that is so beautiful. lol

I really should be working on my essay about "campus unrest" which is due to P by Monday. It is so annoying when i put these things off. Last time I put my essay off I practically killed myself getting it to her, and it was still late because I got it to her at 12:40am. But did I learn my lesson? ... noooo.... so here I am, typing away on a post which is pretty much pointless... except for the part where I said "FUCK YOU, BUSH!!!". And, in case you were wondering who I was talking about, I was talking about my next door neighbors, wives, boyfriends, sister's daughter's friends brother.... he he he.

here is a good story. it is actually a true story, lol.

A: where did you get that music?

Me: from my boyfriend

A: oooh, riiiiight.

Me: seriously! he illegaly downloaded it off the internet, burned it onto a CD and gave it to me!

A: mmhm, and what boyfriend would that be?

Me: (mysteriously) the one you don't know about.

[later]

Me: in case you were wondering... I am getting a hummer for my birthday.

A: really

Me: yup!

A: and might I ask who is giving it to you?

Me: my boyfriend... you know, the one who downloads music illegaly off the internet and burns them onto CDs for me.

A: and where is he going to get it?

Me: he is going to illegaly download it off the internet!

A: (rolls his eyes, exhasperated) I would like to see that.

lol, it was deffinently funnier when it happened....

and no, I do not have a boyfriend, in case you were wondering.

PEACE, MAN!

The Day Freedom Died: By Rochwen

Watch them burn your freedom.
Watch them choke your voice.

You see the fires burning,
Sparks reaching to the sky.
Hold that sight forever,
Today freedom will die.

You watch the smoking gasses,
Choking the clear air.
Speak now, my friend,
Of all that is just and fair.

For today they burn your freedom,
Today they choke your voice.

They do not have mercy,
They will never care.
They only want broken voices,
And to see your vacant stare.

Now you will always remember:

How you watched them burn your freedom,
How you let them choke your voice.
I even heard you give a mightly cheer;
Do not say you had no choice.

The day freedom, right to assemble and free speech died.
I will never let freedom die again.

Imagine: John Lennon

Imagine there's no heaven,
It's easy if you try,
No hell below us,
Above us only sky,
Imagine all the peoplel
iving for today...

Imagine there's no countries,
It isnt hard to do,
Nothing to kill or die for,
No religion too,
Imagine all the people
living life in peace...

Imagine no possesions,
I wonder if you can,
No need for greed or hunger,
A brotherhood of man,
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...

You may say Im a dreamer,
but Im not the only one,
I hope some day you'll join us,
And the world will live as one

Working Class Hero: By John Lennon

As soon as your born they make you feel small,
By giving you no time instead of it all,
Till the pain is so big you feel nothing at all,
A working class hero is something to be,
A working class hero is something to be.

They hurt you at home and they hit you at school,
They hate you if you're clever and they despise a fool,
Till you're so fucking crazy you can't follow their rules,
A working class hero is something to be,
A working class hero is something to be.

When they've tortured and scared you for twenty odd years,
Then they expect you to pick a career,
When you can't really function you're so full of fear,
A working class hero is something to be,
A working class hero is something to be.

Keep you doped with religion and sex and TV,
And you think you're so clever and classless and free,
But you're still fucking peasants as far as I can see,
A working class hero is something to be,
A working class hero is something to be.

There's room at the top they are telling you still,
But first you must learn how to smile as you kill,
If you want to be like the folks on the hill,
A working class hero is something to be.
A working class hero is something to be.

If you want to be a hero well just follow me,
If you want to be a hero well just follow me.

ok, so I am not going to talk about... that... because... I am not going too...

I have a story to tell. And a question to ask.

Once there lived a woman and her slave... husband! i mean husband! Anyhow, they lived on a remote island in the middle of the sea. They lived in a small community along with the rest of the 100 people who lived there. There was no religion and everyone lived peacefully and happily together. They all loved eachother, never stole or killed or committed adultery or anything bad like that.

Now, in the USA there lived a woman. She was a very... naughty... woman. She earned a living as a prostitute, and when that didn't pay she would steal. She had also killed one of her 'clients' when he wouldn't pay her. Well, finally, one day she was caught stealing, by the police. She was put in jail. While she was in jail a priest came to her and talked to her about God and Jesus and all that other Christian stuff. Soon she was converted to Christianity; she accepted Jesus as her savior and she never did anything 'naughty' again.

So... in your opinion who goes to Hell and who goes to Heaven or do they both go to Heaven or both to Hell (this is assuming that there IS a Heaven and Hell)? According to your religion or church or pastor, who goes to Heaven and who goes to Hell?

*sigh* it is so sad that the Beatles broke up. I suppose it had to happen though, it is the way of things. it is the way of life. energy for one thing dies and moves on to another. The Beatles died and their energy moved on to other things, like wives and families. sorry, i'm kind of getting ahead of your education for the Beatles, but I just saw the final tape in the Beatles Anthology which is about the Beatles breaking up. I am sure I can come up with other interesting quotes though...

oooh! here's something interesting about the Beatles. All of them dislike or hated school. All of them were constantly skiving off school. Ringo only got 5 years of school in his whole life and most of them were getting really lousy grades. (Einstein was really horrible in school too) All of them were smoking and drinking by the time they were 16 or 17. John's aunt (whom he lived with) told him that playing the guitar was a good hobby, but that he would never make a living off of it. lol. Paul (John and Paul wrote most of the songs) cannot read or write music to this day. Ringo can't write very well, nor spell.

They were (and are, except for John because he was shot) geniuses.

Absolute geniuses.

Revolution; The Beatles

You say you want a revolution
Well, you know
We all want to change the world
You tell me that it's evolution
Well, you know
We all want to change the world
But when you talk about destruction
Don't you know that you can count me out
Don't you know it's gonna be all right all right, all right
You say you got a real solution
Well, you know
We'd all love to see the plan
You ask me for a contribution
Well, you know
We're doing what we can
But when you want money
for people with minds that hate
All I can tell is brother you have to wait
Don't you know it's gonna be all right
all right, all right
Ah ah, ah, ah, ah, ah...
You say you'll change the constitution
Well, you know
We all want to change your head
You tell me it's the institution W
ell, you know
You better free you mind instead
But if you go carrying pictures of chairman Mao
You ain't going to make it with anyone anyhow
Don't you know it's gonna be all right
all right, all right
all right, all right,
all right all right,
all right, all right

their songs just got better and better, right to the very end.

Some Words of Wisdom from Ringo Starr

"Whenever we overdid our intake [of drugs], the music we made was absolutely shit. We'd go home real happy with teh tape, and we'd play it when we got home and play it the next day. Every time, we'd come back to record again we'd all look at eachother and say, 'Well, we have to do that on again.' Because you know, it didn't work, it didn't work for the Beatles to be too deranged when making music."
* * *
and sorry about the picture of John smoking, but he looked really hot in that one... lol
I love Ringo!


here... is this a more satisfactory picture of John? you better be happy because I had to go to page 12 of the image results to find it!
* * *
also...
I feel that it is my Civic Duty (ahem, to the Beatles) to spread The Truth. If you do not accept this as Truth you will burn in the fires of Hell!! muahahahaha! jk, jk, jk. ok, here it is:

The Beatles song, "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" is NOT about LSD as has been the general rumour for the past 40 years. Yes, I have evidence, it's this gigantic book called "the Beatles Anthology" which is a collection of interviews with the Beatles. it's huge, like 12" by 18" and 356 pages long, besides the fact that the print is tiny. So here are the interviews:

Ringo said: "'Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds' and all the madness that went on around it was absolutely bonkers. I was actually with John when Julain came in with this little kid's painting, a crazy little painting, and John (as the dad) said, 'Oh, what's that?' and Julian said, 'It's Lucy in the sky with diamonds.'And then John got busy."

Paul said: "I showed up at John's house and he had a drawing Julain had done at school with the title ' Lucy in the Sky with Diamsonds' above it. Then we went up to his music room and wrote the song, swapping psychedelic suggestions as we went. I remember coming up with 'cellophane flowers' and 'newspaper taxis' and John answered with things like ' kaleidoscope eyes' and 'looking glass ties'. We never noticed the LSD initial until it was pointed out later - by which point people didn't believe us.

John said: "I saw Mel Torme introducing a Lennon-McCartney show, saying how 'Lucy In The Sky With Diamsonds' was about LSD. It never was, and nobody believes me. I swear to God, or sweart to Mao, or to anybody you like, I had not idea it spelt LSD. This is the truth: my song came home with a drawing and showed me this strange-looking woman flying around. I said, 'What is it?' and he said, 'It's Lucy in the sky with diamsonds,' and I thought, 'That's beautiful.' I immediately wrote a song about it. And the song had gone out, the whole album had been published, and someboydy noticed that the letterse spelt out LSD. I had no idea, and of course after that I was checking all the songsto see what the letterse spelt out. They didn't spell out anything, none of the others. It wasn't about that at all.
The images were from 'Alice in Wonderland'. It was Alice in the boat. She is buying an agg and it turns into Humpy-Dumpty. The woman serving in the shop turns into a sheep, and the next minute they're rowing in a rowing boat somewhere - and I was visualising that. There was also the image of the female who would someday come save me - 'a girld with kaleidoscope eyes' who would come out of the sky. It's not an acid song."
Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds; the Beatles
Picture yourself in a boat on a river,
With tangerine trees and marmalade skies
Somebody calls you,
you answer quite slowly,
A girl with kaleidoscope eyes.
Cellophane flowers of yellow and green,
Towering over your head.
Look for the girl with the sun in her eyes,
And she’s gone.
Lucy in the sky with diamonds.
Follow her down to a bridge by a fountain
Where rocking horse people eat marshmellow pies,
Everyone smiles as you drift past the flowers,
That grow so incredibly high.
Newspaper taxis appear on the shore,
Waiting to take you away.
Climb in the back with your head in the clouds,
And you’re gone.
Lucy in the sky with diamonds,
Picture yourself on a train in a station,
With plasticine porters with looking glass ties,
Suddenly someone is there at the turnstyle,
The girl with the kaleidoscope eyes.
PS: (as though you haven't already heard enough from me) has anyone noticed that in the 'psychedelic' songs people use strange imagery, and that some of us use strange imagery too in our poems and stories? I just thought that was kind of interesting; something to think about.

Some Words of Wisdom from John Lennon

"Ninety per cent of the people on this planet, especially in the West, were born out of a bottle of whisky on a Saturday night, and there was no intent to have children. Ninetly per cent of us were accidents - I don't know anybody who has planned a child. All of us were Saturday-night specials."
* * *
"...It's the same thing I'm expressing all the time, but now I can put it into that sentence, that I think we're being run by maniacs for maniacal ends. But I'm likely to be put away as insane for expressing that. That what's insane about it."
* * *
"My education was sorely lacking; the only thing we did learn was fear and hatred, especially of the opposite sex.
As a teenager, all I saw were films where men beat up women. That was tough, that was the thing to do, slap them in the face, treat them rough - Humphrey Bogart and all that jazz. So that's the attitude we're brought up with. It took me a long time to get that out. That isn't reality.
The way I started understanding it was thinking, 'What would happen if I said to Ringo or Paul or George: "Go fetch that. Put the kettle on. Somebody's at the door..."' If you treated your best male friend the way you treat your woman, he'd give you a punch in the face."
- - -
I love him!!
and yes, he did give up smoking... after he and the rest of the Beatles went to India and started meditating and such.

you guys are probably ready to strangle me if I say anything more about the Fab Four, so I won't talk about them...

today i rode Avalon for the first time in a REALLY long time. It was really nice! He is deffinently out of shape (that does not mean he didn't have enough energy to try and buck me off), it's been months though. I'll probably be feeling it tomorrow too. I cannot believe that the school year is over half finished! that is insane. it seems like every year goes by faster and faster.

I'm getting old too fast!

the world is spinning!

the sky is falling!

ElfQuest rocks!

I love Paul McCartney!

no!! no no no! don't strangle me! I won't say any more about them...

I am the walrus.

whoops (he he he)

I AM A GREEN BELT!!!!

YESSSSSSSS!!!!!!!

And Joe, that was one of those, funny but not so funny jokes.

Joe: I am sorry to say that I have no certificates to hand out.

Me (thinking): you have to be kidding, because I don't think I can do that test any better, at least not anytime soon.

Of course, he was only saying that because the certificates had not come in the mail yet. whew! So I am now 7th kyu!! A green belt!
