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.

Alright, it's about that time.

Time to put this Westward Bound theory into practice.

Thanks for the musical suggestions. Very helpful. Major props to Da-ego for literal tons of Modest Mouse, Led, and epic rock.

Here's the travel itinerary for those of you following along at home:

First Leg--

So, if at any point this weekend you feel like using up some of those unlimited weekend minutes, I will be in my car... I will have my little bluetooth earpiece thingy (promoting safety wherever I go)... I will have nothing better to do... (I will also probably be listening to some tunes at an increased volume, so if I don't answer, just hold tight until the end of the song when I'll hear my phone beeping in that annoying fashion)

If you don't have my cell number, I have a facebook. That's all I'll say. No sense throwing personal information out onto the net in more places than one.

Redirect:
- Check out what Doyle found Gaylord doing. Go ahead and vote. You know you want to.
- Awesome video Letrent found. 20 mintes. Well worth every second.
- Greg is struggling with homosexuality. Go help him out.

    The link just goes to google maps.. no link for Rockel's trip. Anywho, so you're making the move, el bigo moveo. I certainly wish I could come along it would be mad fun. I start work Saturday on a film up in NYC, i will try give you a call from time to time to see how you're holding up. Call me when you get there damn it and let me know that you're settled in and all that. A trip to visit you will follow at some point in the future to be decided by when the emperor gives me a vacation. I got in trouble for letting a raptor out loose the other day so I dunno when I'll be free again.
    I wish you well my friend.

    Holler
    Cathey, out.

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.
