The WORD of the Week

Matthew 3:7-10

But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to where he was baptizing, he said to them: "You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the coming wrath?

Produce fruit in keeping with repentance.

And do not think you can say to yourselves, 'We have Abraham as our father.' I tell you that out of these stones God can raise up children for Abraham.

The ax is already at the root of the trees, and every tree that does not produce good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire.

Good News, Bad News
Bad news first:
My blog has now ascended the hill... reached the peak... it now begins the horrible decline and midlife crisis...

This is post number 40.


And now the good news:

"International icon Britney Spears and husband Kevin Federline's new UPN series will premiere with a special one-hour episode on Tuesday, May 17 at 9PM ET/PT." (Source)

Not only is this good news... it's great! Seriously.

UPN has always somewhat wavered in the balance, attempting to maintain enough revenue to continue broadcasting while CBS, ABC, NBC, et al. sail on by. And now!!! NOW!!! NOW they've managed to get Britney Spears on their station... THEY HAVE PAID OUT THE ASS FOR THIS!!! They must have.

So... the time has come to redefine the "Power of the People." If enough people boycott this lame piece of tripe, not only will UPN probably fold... but Ms. Spears will also have a failed show, cancelled before the end of the first season, under her belt.

How cool would that be?

    You want people to boycott britney spears?! Goodluck! On top of that, I hope UPN sticks around, we need more networks on television as opposed to the 3 or so we have now. Get some more opinions, some competition in there, hopefully someone will stop trying to feed me the same bullshit on every channel....


    yea right...

    come on, daego... you know as well as I that UPN is the biggest waste of money on TV (outside of Oxygen and Lifetime). It's a group of washed-up, talent-less hacks, rehashing the "Martin" show attempting to write comedy. So don't feed me this bullshit about them actually enlightening you instead of brainwashing you like the "other," mainstream channels, because they just don't. I will not tolerate any positive comments of UPN on my post.

Lyrics of the Week

ON THE NICKEL
by Tom Waits

("I'd like to do a new song here. This is eh, it's about downtown Los Angeles on 5th Street. And eh all the winos affectionately refer to it as The Nickel. So this is kind of a hobo's lullaby.")

sticks and stones will break my bones,
but i always will be true, and when
your mama is dead and gone,
i'll sing this lullabye just for you,
and what becomes of all the little boys,
who never comb their hair,
well they're lined up all around the block,
on the nickel over there.

so you better bring a bucket,
there is a hole in the pail,
and if you don't get my letter,
then you'll know that i'm in jail,
and what becomes of all the little boys,
who never say their prayers,
well they're sleepin' like a baby,
on the nickel over there.

and if you chew tobacco, and wish upon a star,
well you'll find out where the scarecrows sit,
just like punchlines between the cars,
and i know a place where a royal flush,
can never beat a pair, and even thomas jefferson,
is on the nickel over there.

so ring around the rosie, you're sleepin' in the rain,
and you're always late for supper,
and man you let me down again,
i thought i heard a mockingbird, roosevelt knows where,
you can skip the light, with grady tuck,
on the nickel over there.

so what becomes of all the little boys,
who run away from home,
well the world just keeps gettin' bigger,
once you get out on your own,
so here's to all the little boys,
the sandman takes you where,
you'll be sleepin' with a pillowman,
on the nickel over there.

so let's climb up through that button hole,
and we'll fall right up the stairs,
and i'll show you where the short dogs grow,
on the nickel over there.
