I am Governor Jerry Brown
My aura smiles
And never frowns
Soon I will be president…
Carter Power will soon go away
I will be Fuhrer one day
I will command all of you
Your kids will meditate in school
Your kids will meditate in school!
California Uber Alles
California Uber Alles
Uber Alles California
Uber Alles California
Zen fascists will control you
100% natural
You will jog for the master race
And always wear the happy face
Close your eyes, can’t happen here
Big Bro’ on white horse is near
The hippies won’t come back you say
Mellow out or you will pay
Mellow out or you will pay!
Now it is 1984
Knock-knock at your front door
It’s the suede/denim secret police
They have come for your uncool niece
Come quietly to the camp
You’d look nice as a drawstring lamp
Don’t you worry, it’s only a shower
For your clothes here’s a pretty flower.
DIE on organic poison gas
Serpent’s egg’s already hatched
You will croak, you little clown
When you mess with President Brown
When you mess with President Brown

I’d like to dedicate this post to President Obama.
And don’t buy anyone else’s. Sony is sending down a patch that will be required if you want to stay on the Play Station network that both breaks any “third-party OSs” and eliminates the ability to play copy-protected DVD and CD’s. This will render the system completely worthless. In protest, I advocate selling your PS3 for an outrageously low amount of money (like, less than 10 dollars), or burning it in the street.
Here’s the article.

So this is who I become
When You leave me to myself
A burned-up, hollow, angry, empty shell
An actor on a barren stage
An even-keel with unchanneled rage
Sinking deeper into hell
Bind me to You
Pierce me straight through
Consume me with Your fire
Ravage my heart
Tear me clean apart
And still be my Desire
As I descend it starts again
Sliding down, spiraling
Gasping on the breath of corruption
Fighting undertow
Holding on, realizing
My own hopeless helplessness
Finally letting go
All is madness as the flames engulf me
Oblivion
Refining fire making ashes of this life
Burn, Fire, burn
Clean this holy temple
Resore Your holy Name
In the onslaught of Your love
And now, as gradual as the fall
The dawn of hope
The brilliant sun sending all the shadows fleeing
Sweet daylight
A new man rising from the ashes
Clothed in white, bearing a new name
I leave it all behind and take to flight

Johnny always takes more than he needs
Knows a couple chords, knows a couple leads
Johnny always needs more than he takes
Forgets a couple of chords, forgets a couple of breaks
And everybody tells me Johnny is hot
Johnny needs something that he ain’t got
And Johnny’s gonna die
Johnny’s gonna die
Johnny’s gonna die
Everybody stares and everybody hoots
Johnny always needs more than he shoots
Standing by a beach and there ain’t no lake
He’s got friends without no guts, friends that never ache
In New York City, I guess it’s cool when it’s dark
There’s one sure way, Johnny, you can leave your mark

Leave it to the Japanese…
I ran across the new Utada CD during amazon’s $5 album sale today, and I’m giving it a spin. The sound is pretty fresh, and she’s definitely gotten with the times as far as R&B goes, without losing her trademarked style and talent (those of you who’ve listened before know what i’m talking about – this is very hard to describe).
The new album shows talent and it really shows how she’s matured as an artist and a person. Unfortunately, she’s also matured in other ways – this is a nice way of saying that she’s gotten kind of jaded, and as a result she shows more of a willingness on this album to discuss “adult” themes. The other con – what I found was the English CD. Hopefully the Japanese version is floating around out there somewhere.
Scale of 1 to 5? I give this album a 5, just because of this girl’s incredible musical talent, and the fact that she manages to be real without sacrificing the old Utada “funk”.
Seriously, there is no excuse for this- it’s pure stupidity. Now, to be fair, these are just the lyrics; on the actual recording, he does a fairly good impression of each of these characters. But it must take an incredible amount of “spiritual salesmanship” and shameless hypocrisy to try and turn this into some kind of inspiring Christian message. Not to mention the amount of ammunition it gives to Christian-haters and the anti-rock crowd. Does he really think his Christian fans are so rigid and shallow, that fun makes us feel guilty unless it’s the most religious and spiritual kind?
Anyway, here are the lyrics:
I was thinkin’ the other day,
“What if cartoons got saved?
They’d start singing praise
In a whole new way…”
Yeah, I was thinkin’ the other day,
“What if cartoons got saved?
They’d start singing praise
In a whole new way…”
Fred and Wilma Flintstone
Sing “Yabba-dabba-do-lu-yah”
Scooby-doo and Shaggy:
“Scooby-dooby-doo-loo-yah”
And the Jetsons’ dog named Astro:
“Rough-ray-roo-loo-yah”
(repeat chorus)
Teenage Mutant Ninga Turtles:
“Cowabunga-loo-yah, Dude!”
Then there’s, “Kermit the Frog here, singing,
High-ho-le-loo-yah”
And that little bald guy, Elmer Fudd:
“How-ay-woo-yah”
(repeat chorus)
Oh that big old moose and his friend Rocky,
“Bullwinkle-loo-yah”
And our favourite bear named Yogi,
“Hey, Boo-Boo-loo-ya”
Then there’s all those little blue guys
And they’d sing, “Hah-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-lay-loo-yah”
How about Beavis and that other guy?
“Nah!!”
Now, there’s a point to this looney-tune
I’m not an Anamaniac
But there’s a lot of praisin’ to do
And cartoons weren’t made for that
It’s our job
So, let’s sing hallelujah
well, i am really tired this morning, and i’ve been clicking on things again, without knowing what they are… so i lost a couple of items: among them, an entire blogpost and the comment that was posted to it. sorry about that. in answer to the comment, though, well, you’re right; it’s a song. it’s by POD and its about how he copes with the death of his mother. (bloody dark) anyways, i adapted it to my situation, and in my particular case, it’s not about someone dying, instead, its about someone you don’t know.
anyways……. i hope y’all can still find my blog for now, since i am working on migrating over to bluehost.
So here I am, sitting at work, listening to ReignRadio.com, when, what should I hear? Well, one of the Old Hackers, a member of The Birds, told me one time that one of his favorite bands was Die Happy. (I seriously doubt you’re reading this, Jay.) I’d never heard of that band until today; I just assumed it was some heathen band. haha, I always thought he was such a bad [ahem, boy], and here that was a Christian band. Between moutain bikes, console emulators, and nerdy music, that guy was a true hacker and as stupid as it sounds, he was sort of a role model back then. hahaha Perspective changes everything.
