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.

Ok, it's been a while... here's what's up:
---
President Bush came to Charlotte today to give a speech on the War on Terr'. However, the big news story in Cha-town was that a Char-Meck Police Officer is recovering well after being shot last night, in the line of duty, in the forehead.

Said Bush, "Cheney's here?"

I applied for a job... got it... submitted a two weeks notice... company I worked for didn't want to lose me, offered me more... went back to the other company, they offered me more... went back to the current company, they offered more... I'm staying with the current company... full time... full benefits... good stuff.

Mandisa got voted off of Amer. Idol, which is one of only 4 shows I watch, although 24 is losing my interest. I may have to get some stronger beverages for the drinking game to make watching it worthwhile. Anyway, American Idol... they're doing the songs of Queen, possibly the greatest band of all time, next week. Should rock. I plan to feature 2 of the remaining 8 contestants on Red What and Blue in the next four days leading up to next week's show, commenting on what I think they should sing, how I think they'll do, and which one would taste the best if I were into cannibalism (which I'm not, but it's fun to use your imagination).

    Dude, I have so totally lost about, we'll say, ALL the respect I used to have for you. 24, it sucks. But, I'll give it to ya, a little exciting, lots of explosions, and bad ass dude kickin' bad ass bad guy ass. Fine. But American-effing-Idol dude? C'mon. What a tooly show. And I mean tooly in it's strictest definition: This isn't about music, and hardly about America (unless it's about smearing the image of America). It certainly should not EVER land on pages of Red What and Blue

    The strict definition link failed to go through:

    "strictest" = 6

    haha... it's a good thing i like you so much, ryan...

    ...and it's also good that i need only two words out of my vocabulary to smite your "tooly" comments for all time:

    Iambic Pentameter.

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.
