Return of the Visual Entertainment Curse!

Tuesday, May 19th, 2009

Allow me to preface this story with the fact that it’s going to make me look like a complete imbecile, and I admit, I am rather ashamed of the events that follow… but it’s too funny to hide, even if the laughter is at my own expense.  So laugh away.  I’ll be laughing with you.

We are always a little behind when it comes to technological advances.  While most people are texting, twittering, iPoding and whatever-the-helling, we are still over here playing with fire and saying things like, “Ow!  Fire hot!”

Lyric: I Remember, Lord

Saturday, May 16th, 2009

I had a dream in the still of the day
It shook me to my bones
I dreamed I got up and I went to the door
But the sun no longer shone

There were people millin all around
I could see them from where I stood
They were cryin and holdin out their hands
But I could do them no good
‘Cause I’d slept too long
And the sun was gone
I’d slept too long
And the sun was gone

Lyric: Movin On (2003)

Saturday, May 16th, 2009

You’re comin at me like I’m still free
You’re actin like it’s like it used to be
But “used to be” was a long time ago

You know the answer but you never asked
You think the future’s just like the past
But I passed you by a long time ago
And if you gave it any thought, honey you would know know know
No no no

Carlie on the tubes.

Well, I did it. I brought TP to youtube. God help us all.

Song Lyric: Lotus Land (1981)

Saturday, April 25th, 2009

Peacock song in lotus land
Terminal lines find their rhymes in your hand
Look within them if you would see
The pattern of your life’s futility

Song Lyric: Early Harvest (1993)

Saturday, April 25th, 2009

It’ll be an early harvest
For the winter’s close at hand
I can feel that North wind blowin
Like a shadow stretchin ‘cross the land
Years ago when I was younger
The crops grew taller and the days were longer
But now my hair is touched with frost

Song Lyric: Loving Logic (1984)

Saturday, April 18th, 2009

You can say that the world is round
As you stand on solid ground
But can you tell me when life begins
When you’re not sure what life is?

Song Lyric: Walking Wounded (1994)

Tuesday, March 31st, 2009

Alvin’s poem about self-injury reminded me of this lyric.

I’m a walking wounded, injured in the war
I’m weak and weary, though it happened long before
The bullet’s buried and it’s working farther in

Song Lyric: Corners

Thursday, March 26th, 2009

Ten years ago I saw my life
Like it was rolling forward on a wave
Now I stop and count the corners of my life
And each one’s creepin slowly toward the grave

I’ve been too good a friend with “Good enough for now”
I didn’t do too much lookin down the road
I took my wild oats and followed close behind the plow
But now I see I’m reapin what I sowed
