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.


Stupid Fact of the Week
There was only one civilian casualty during the three-day Battle of Gettysburg

My Eventful Evening
Well... Cribbage is over. My mom finished us off tonight. 7-5-5, my father and I unable to slow down the mom piece as she galloped to victory. You may look at the score and think, well, it was close, I mean, before she won she was only one game ahead of both of you. However, what's incredibly unfortunate, yet not, concerning mine and my father's score is that we both, within the tournament, scored a skunk, which scores as two wins. So, in all reality, between the two of us we really only won a combined 8 games. Meaning mumsie ran off with, almost literally, half of the games we played. Unacceptable.

After the Cribbage, several other fun family games were enjoyed and then the World Series came on. However, upon the beginning of the game, my parents realized there was a shortage of beer in the house.

So I drove down to the store to pick up some beer for my parents.

As I had just consumed a glass of wine myself, as I headed to the door after being handed a twenty dollar bill and instructions on selecting the beer, my father shouted out this fatherly advice: "Be sure to brush your teeth before you go."

In other news:
I have recently begun posting quite regularly. A fact that I know drives each and every one of you to perpetual bliss. However, the abundant updates may dwindle, not die out, but decrease somewhat as I hope to turn my attention to a short film script I began writing some time ago. It looks as though there might be a chance of it actually coming into production if I can get it to a final draft relatively quickly.

I shall try to update when anything major happens... like if I make any progress on the script.

Much love, and these words:

Alone in a room
then Somebody appeared
and Something seemed so right

Then Somebody left
and Someone came in
and Everything filled with light

But when Someone was gone
then Nobody came
except the dark, cold night

And Everyone cared
but No one was there
now Nothing remains but spite

    1. Not post as often? I will pine for your words. I may be traumatized for life if they ever cease entirely.
    2. a film script? That's exciting, I hope it goes well! Any good fight scenes in it? I'm great at getting beat up!
    3. It would be much easier to visit with you if you lived a wee bit closer.
    4. Man, how embarassing, 2 men getting beat by a woman =)

    1) Traumatized, huh? That may be reason enough to stop.
    2) Well, it's a script for 3 male actors, so I wouldn't want to offend you by offering you a role. However, if it were for three women I wouldn't want to offend you by offering you a role.
    3) Define "wee," and I'll see what I can do.
    4) It's only embarassing until I think about how I could beat four of you at the same time. ;)

    1. You know it hurts. And you know you like it. You freak.
    2. You know I kid, Jaime. One of these days I'm going to write an entirely gender-neutral script and let you have first go at the cast list.
    3. Do so.
    4. Whatever. You may dress like a boy, but you still scream like a girl when I beat you, which is often since you also fight like a girl.

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.
