♫♫ Form And Fate...Check This Earworm Out..... ♫♫



FORM AND FATE are an instrumental post rock band from San Francisco,California.To quote the band "the name FORM AND FATE was derived from the process through which a lake is born.As the definition would imply, the music is something of a tribute to the turbulent ways in which new landscapes are formed,sometimes through dramatic and violent upheaval, sometimes through the simple, slow passing of time".They released their debut album "The Form and Fate of Lakes" on Three Ring Records and in 2008 followed up their debut with a 5-song EP titled "Recirc". FORM AND FATES'S brand of post rock is epic,bleak,melodic and complex.Their music is a slow burn,starting out with restraint and then smacking you in the face with a wall of fuzzed out distortion.With three guitarists in the group they are able to build multiple melodic layers and they incrporate a variety of different instruments in their music like violin,cello and trombone. FORM AND FATE has drawn comparisons to EXPLOSIONS IN THE SKY and MOGWAI.






On Some Things Opposites Can Agree...

A Marine squad was marching north of Fallujah  when they came upon an Iraqi terrorist who was badly injured and  unconscious.
On the opposite side of the road was an American Marine in a  similar but less serious state. The Marine was conscious and alert, and  as first aid was given to both men, the squad leader asked the  injured Marine what had happened.
The Marine reported, "I was heavily  armed and moving north along the highway here, and coming south was a heavily  armed insurgent. We saw each other and both took cover in the ditches along  the road. I yelled to him that Saddam Hussein was a miserable, lowlife scum  bag who got what he deserved. He yelled back that Barack Obama is a  lying, good-for-nothing, left wing Commie who isn't even an  American!”
So then I said that Osama Bin Laden dresses and acts like a  frigid, mean-spirited lesbian! He retaliated by yelling, "Oh yeah? Well,  so does Nancy Pelosi !"
 
"And, there we were, in the middle of the road,  shaking hands, when a truck hit  us!"

♫♫ The Government Can .... Great Cover of "The Candyman Can" ♫♫

This was uploaded in Aug of 2009, How prophetic is this song?





The Government Can lyrics

(Hey everybody! Gather 'round! I'm here to give you
anything you like! You want free college, money,
mortages?! Whatever you like! You have come to the
right place! Why? I'll tell you why!)

Who can take your money? (Who can take your money?)
With a twinkle in their eye? (With a twinkle in their
eye?)
Take it all away and
Give it to some other guy

[Chorus]
The Government (the Government)
The Government can! (The Government can!)

Who can tax the Sun rise? (Who can tax the Sun rise?)
Who can tax the trees? (Who can tax the trees?)
Let you run a business and
Collect up all the fees

[Chorus]

The Government can 'cause
They mix it up with lies and
Make it all taste good! (Make it all taste good!)

The Government takes
Everything we make
To pay for all of their "sollutions"
Healthcare, Climate Change, Pollution
[- From :http://www.elyrics.net/read/t/tim-hawkins-lyrics/the-government-can-lyrics.html -]
(Throw away the Constitution)

Who can give a bailout? (Who can give a bailout?)
Tell us to behave? (Tell us to behave?)
Make the Founding Fathers
Roll over in their graves

[Chorus]

The Government takes
Everything we make
They're power hungry
And malicious

The economics are fictitious
Soon we'll have to eat our dishes
Mmm! Delicious!

Who can be a failure? (Who can be a failure?)
In so many ways? (In so many ways?)
Instead of getting fired, HEY!
We'll give ourselves a raise!

[Chorus]

The Government can 'cause
They mix it up with lies and
Make it all taste good! (Make it all taste good!)
And your government can 'cause
they mix it with lies and
Makes it all taste good! (Makes it all taste good!)

And I feel so good
Because the Government
Says I should! Oh!...

Your Friday Morning Blonde Joke....

Three women go down to Mexico one night, get drunk, and wake up in jail, only to find that they are to be executed in the morning, though none of them can remember what they did the night before.

The first one, a redhead, is strapped in the electric chair, and is asked if she has any last words. She says, "I am from Grace University , and believe in the almighty power of God to intervene on the behalf of the innocent," They throw the switch and nothing happens.

They all immediately prostrate themselves; beg for her forgiveness, and release her.

The second one, a brunette, is strapped in and gives her last words, "I am from the Creighton School of Law and I believe in the power of justice to intervene on the part of the innocent." They throw the switch and again, nothing happens.

Again, they all immediately prostrate themselves; beg for her forgiveness, and release her.

The last one, a blonde, is strapped in and says, "Well, I'm from the University of Alabama, Huntsville and just graduated with a degree in Electrical Engineering, and I'll tell you right now, you ain't gonna electrocute nobody if you don't plug this thing in."

...of Alan Parsons do You Speak?

 my goodness... this brings back soooooo many memories............

Alan Parsons (born 20 December 1948[1]) is a British audio engineer, musician, and record producer. He was involved with the production of several significant albums, including The Beatles' Abbey Road and Let It Be, as well as Pink Floyd's The Dark Side of the Moon for which Pink Floyd credit him as an important contributor. Parsons' own group, The Alan Parsons Project, as well as his subsequent solo recordings, have also been successful commercially.


When I was out earlier  I heard Games People Play on the play list at the bar ( see previous post). I was instantly taken back to my first introduction to Alan Parsons in the sounds of the I Robot album:

All That Is Wrong With This Country.... There are NO WORDS..

 This Guy needs to be hung in the square until dead and then the people that ignored the warning signs as well as idiots that are thwarting the attempts to fire him and take his benefits should be tarred and feathered and run out of town....  This is so RAGE INDUCING!!!




I saw this story over at GROUCHYOLDCRIPPLE'S place.

 LOS ANGELES — Angry parents confronted school officials Wednesday, demanding to know why they weren't told for a year that a teacher was suspected of photographing children in class for sexual thrills.

 The clash came at a forum staged at Miramonte Elementary School to discuss the investigation of Mark Berndt, a third-grade teacher who is charged with committing lewd acts on 23 boys and girls, ages 6 to 10, between 2005 and 2010 at the campus where he taught for more than 30 years.

"UNREAL READ HERE" 


AND HE GET TO KEEP HIS BENEFITS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!




A teacher charged with 23 counts of lewd conduct in his classroom successfully thwarted attempts by the Los Angeles Unified School District to fire him. In the process, the teacher, who is accused of spoon-feeding his semen to blindfolded children, managed to retain lifetime health-benefits provided by the nation’s second-largest school system.

 Former Miramonte Elementary School teacher Mark Berndt also automatically receives nearly $4,000 a month in pension from the California State Teachers' Retirement System.

A Clean Joke......Forrest Gump Goes to Heaven


The day finally arrives: Forrest Gump dies and goes to heaven. He is met at the Pearly Gates by Saint Peter himself. The gates are closed, however, and Forrest approaches the gatekeeper. Peter says "Well, Forrest, it's certainly good to see you. We have heard a lot about you. I must inform you that the place is filling up fast, and we've been administering an entrance examination for everyone. The tests are fairly short, but you need to pass before you can get into Heaven."
Forrest responds "It shore is good to be here Saint Peter. I was looking forward to this. Nobody ever told me about any entrance exam. Sure hope the test ain't too hard; life was a big enough test as it was."
Peter goes on, "Yes I know, Forrest, but the test I have for you is only three questions.

First: What days of the week begin with the letter T?

Second: How many seconds are there in a year?

Third: What is God's first name?"

Forrest goes away to think the questions over. The first thing the next morning, Peter returns to the gate to find Forrest already there waiting for him. Peter smiles warmly and says, "Now that you have had a chance to think the questions over, tell me your answers."
Forrest says, "Well, the first one - how many days of the week begin with the letter 'T'? Shucks, that one's easy. That'd be Today and Tomorrow.
The saint's eyes open wide and he exclaims, "Forrest! That's not what I was thinking, but... you do have a point, and I guess I didn't specify, so I give you credit for that answer."
"How about the next one: How many seconds in a year?"
"Now that one's harder" says Forrest, "But I thunk and thunk about that and I guess the only answer can be twelve."
Astounded St. Peter says, "Twelve! Twelve! Forrest, how in Heaven's name could you come up with twelve seconds in a year?"
Forest says "Shucks, there gotta be twelve: January second, February second, March second....."
"Hold it," Peter interrupts. "I see where you're going with this, and I guess you're right. It wasn't quite what I had in mind, but I'll give you credit for that one, too. Let's go on with the next and final question. Can you tell me God's first name?"
Forrest replied, "Andy." "OK, OK," said a frustrated gatekeeper, "I can understand how you came up with your answers to my first two questions, but just how in the world did you came up with the name Andy as the first name of God?"
"That was the easiest one of all," Forrest replied. "I learned it from the song! 'Andy walks with me, Andy talks with me, Andy tells me I am his own...'"

We were dressed and ready to go out for to a Party. We turned on a night light, turned the answering machine on, covered our pet parakeet and put the cat in the backyard. We phoned the local cab company and requested a taxi. The taxi arrived and we opened the front door to leave the house. The cat we put out in the back yard, scoots back into the front door.

We didn't want the cat shut in the house because she always tries to eat the bird.. My wife goes out to the taxi, while I went inside to get the cat. The cat runs upstairs, with me in hot pursuit. Waiting in the cab, my wife doesn't want the driver to know that the house will be empty for the night. So, she explains to the taxi driver that I will be out soon, 'He's just going upstairs to say Goodbye to my mother.'


A few minutes later, I get into the cab. 'Sorry I took so long,' I said, as we drove away. 'That stupid bitch was hiding under the bed. I had to poke her with a coat hanger to get her to come out! She tried to take off, so I grabbed her by the neck. Then, I had to wrap her in a blanket to keep her from scratching me. But it worked! I hauled her fat ass downstairs and threw her out into the back yard!


The cab driver hit a parked car.

Happy Land Beaver* Day....

Thought For The Day....



 Sometimes I wake up thinking weird stuff like the following:


When was the last time you heard someone during ( insert situation here) say or shout


"Hey, call a politician!"

Other than to have them Vote Yea or Nay on something that they are trying to put into legislation that we most likely don't need on the books anyway?

I'll Stick With Losing My Virginity Thanks...

Along the tributaries of the Amazon in Brazil, home to the most aggressive and dangerous form of ants in the world – Paraponera clavata, or as they are called, because of the similarity of pain from their bites with gunshot wounds, bullet ants …

Some of the local Native American tribes practice a terrible habit: every boy, ready to become a man, should stick his hands for 10 minutes into ritual “mittens”, ridden by these monsters. Often, this leads to temporary paralysis or even to blackening of the fingers.

INSENSITIVITY ...morning PG13 Humor


 
I was devastated to find out my wife was having an affair but, by turning to religion, I was soon able to come to terms with the whole thing. I converted to Islam, and we're stoning her in the morning!
 
Went to the pub with my girlfriend last night. Locals were shouting "pedophile!" and other names at me, just because my girlfriend is 21 and I'm 50. It completely spoiled our 10th anniversary.
 
My son was thrown out of school today for letting a girl in his class give him a hand-job. I said "Son, that's 3 schools this year! You'd better stop before you're banned from teaching altogether."
 
Just been to the gym. They've got a new machine in. Could only use it for half an hour, as I started to feel sick. It's great though. It provides me with everything I need - KitKats, Mars Bars, Snickers, Potato Crisps, the lot."
 
The cost of living has now gotten so bad that my wife is having sex with me because she can't afford batteries..
 
I've heard that Apple has scrapped their plans for the new children's-oriented iPod after realizing that "iTouch Kids" is not a good product name.
 
There's a new Muslim clothing shop that opened in our shopping center, but they threw me out after I asked if I could look at some of the bomber jackets.
 
The Red Cross just knocked on my door and asked if we could contribute towards the floods in Pakistan. I said we'd love to, but our garden hose only reaches to the driveway.

♫ Lunchtime Earworm..... Acoustic ♫♫

Must of been mid afternoon
I could tell by how far the child's shadow stretched out and
He walked with a purpose
In his sneakers, down the street
He had, many questions
Like children often do
He said,
Tell me all your thoughts on God
Tell me am I very far?

Must of been late afternoon
On our way the sun broke free of the clouds
We count only blue cars
Skip the cracks, in the street
And ask many questions
Like children often do
We said,
Tell me all your thoughts on God
'Cause I would really like to meet her.
And ask her why we're who we are.
Tell me all your thoughts on God,
Cause I am on my way to see her.
So tell me am I very far -
Am I very far now?

Its getting cold picked up the pace
How our shoes make hard noises in this place
Our clothes are stained
We pass many, cross eyed people
And ask many questions
Like children often do

Tell me all your thoughts on God
'Cause I would really like to meet her.
And ask her why we're who we are.
Tell me all your thoughts on God?
'Cause I am on my way to see her.
So tell me am I very far?
Am I very far now
Am I very far now
Am I very far now


It's Kinda Weird That.......

 I am sitting here listening to the radio and they are playing Amy Winehouse's rehab.


They tried to make me go to rehab but I said 'no, no, no'
Yes I've been black but when I come back you'll know know know
I ain't got the time and if my daddy thinks I'm fine
He's tried to make me go to rehab but I won't go go go

I'd rather be at home with ray

I ain't got seventy days
Cause there's nothing
There's nothing you can teach me
That I can't learn from Mr Hathaway

"Dimples of Venus"...Never Heard of Them Until I Opened My Email....

Hand Signals and Eye Blinking.....

Jeremiah Denton who in a 1966 interview, while captive, was compelled to say that conditions for American soldiers were good.

But while saying audibly that everything was fine, he blinked a message in Morse code: “T-O-R-T-U-R-E.” 









In 2004 this soldier was under duress:

VOLUSIA COUNTY, Fla. —
A 64-year-old Daytona woman didn't hesitate to pull a gun on a suspected car thief whom she caught running from deputies, WFTV learned on Wednesday.
Investigators said Roderick Willis was a wanted fugitive and was being tracked by a sheriff's helicopter.
The helicopter had a spotlight on him as he ran along the side of Karen Granville's home and into her backyard.

Roy Harper...♫♫ The Same Old Rock♫.... (Jimmy Page on Guitar)

I hear this earlier today on Sirius XM Deeptracks. I had never heard of him before.

Roy Harper (born 12 June 1941) is an English folk/rock singer-songwriter and guitarist who has been a professional musician since 1964.


 Lyrics:
All along the ancient wastes the thin reflections spin
That gather all the times and tides at once we love within
That build the edges round the shrouds that cloud the setting sun
And carry us to other days and other days to one
And full the single stillness of the mirror that is made
By each and every one of all the colours in a shade
Inside each eye is sitting like the sword inside the blade
And longs for once upon a chance to open love's cascade
For here we stand – hand to hand
Fighting for the Promised Land

And you try to tell me with consternation
That you have found me a brand new lock
Then you try to warn me that there's only one combination
One new sling – the same old rock

There is a famous straggler stood on the edge of time
Who held the staff but did not feel the pain
He multiplied the mystery with utterance sublime
And crossed his heart for those who died insane

His friend a restless mouthpiece 7000 years of age
Trends to flash a face to shape his ways
Everlasting light is burning bright inside his cage
He's only got to breathe to fan the blaze

Such a groove to have him here on-board Her Ladyship
The man who makes his living out of bed
Such a gas to see him flying through his ceaseless lip
One day, someday soon, he'll lose his head
And withering in the galleries with eyes fixed on the door
Are who and you and me and thanks a lot
And those who see but cannot stand to walk on any floor
For fear that good is something bad is not

But loud and clear is the call
In black and white across your wall
Damn it all, man, can't you see

And you try to tell me with consternation
That you have found me a brand new lock
Then you try to warn me that there's only one combination
One new sling – the same old rock
