Busload Of Faith--Lou Reed
You can't depend on your family
You can't depend on your friends
You can't depend on a beginning
You can't depend on an end
You can't depend on intelligence
Ooohhh, you can't depend on a god
You can only depend on one thing
You need a Busload of Faith to get by, watch, baby
Busload of Faith to get by
You need a Busload of Faith to get by
You can depend on the worst always happening
You can depend on a murderer's drive
You can bet that if he rapes somebody
There'll be no problem having a child
And you can bet that if she aborts it
Pro-Lifers will attack her with rage
You can depend on the worst always happening
You need a Busload of Faith to get by, yeah
Busload of Faith to get by
Busload of Faith to get by, babe
Busload of Faith to get by
You can't depend on the goodly hearted
The goodly hearted made lampshades and soap
You can't depend on the Sacrament
No Father, no Holy Ghost
You can't depend on any churches
Unless there's a real estate you want to buy
You can't depend on a lot of things
You need a Busload of Faith to get by, wow
Busload of Faith to get by
You can't depend on no miracle
You can't depend on the air
You can't depend on a wise man
You can't find them because they're not there
You can depend on cruelty
Crudity of thought and sound
You can depend on the worst always happening
You need a Busload of Faith to get by, ha
Busload of Faith to get by

What I'm Listening To Tonight
New John Legend CD--very good, I really like him
The Doors--Riders on the Storm
Old Elton John Like Tumbleweed Connection and Madman Across the Water
Gypsy Kings
Daniel Lanois
News of the day:
Iraq is in a civil war
and
Britney forgets her underwear again
What is it with these Hollywood type dimwits and not wearing underwear??? First it's Paris, then Lindsay now it's Brittany. Ummmm......what is it? The shock value?? YAWN.... so get over yourselves and buy some undies. It's not like you can't afford it. It's getting old. Knock it off.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
What's Good - The Thesis
Life's like a mayonnaise soda
And life's like space without room
And life's like bacon and ice cream
That's what life's like without you
Life's like forever becoming
But life's forever dealing in hurt
Now life's like death without living
That's what life's like without you
Life's like Sanskrit read to a pony
I see you in my mind's eye
strangling on your tongue
What's good is knowing such devotion
I've been around - I know what makes things run
What good is seeing eye chocolate
What good's a computerized nose
And what good was cancer in April
Why no good - no good at all
What good's a war without killing
What good is rain that falls up
What good's a disease that won't hurt you
Why no good, I guess, no good at all
What good are these thoughts that I'm thinking
It must be better not to be thinking at all
A styrofoam lover with emotions of concrete
No not much, not much at all
What's good is life without living
What good's this lion that barks
You loved a life others throw away nightly
It's not fair, not fair at all
What's good ?
Life's good -But not fair at all

Some of my favorite quotes
I pity the fool.- Mr. T
You may encounter many defeats, but you must not be defeated. In fact, it may be necessary to encounter the defeats, so you can know who you are, what you can rise from, how you can still come out of it.- Maya Angelou
What He really hates is the shit that gets carried out in his name. Wars. Bigotry. Televangelism........When are you people going to learn? It's not about who's right or wrong. No denomination's nailed it yet, and they never will because they're all too self-righteous to realize that it doesn't matter what you have faith in, just that you have faith. Your hearts are in the right place, but your brains need to wake up. -Dogma (1999)

Day After Thanksgiving
Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own
Tough, you think you've got the stuff
You're telling me and anyone
You're hard enough
You don't have to put up a fight
You don't have to always be right
Let me take some of the punches
For you tonight
Listen to me now
I need to let you know
You don't have to go it alone
And it's you when I look in the mirror
And it's you when I don't pick up the phone
Sometimes you can't make it on your own
We fight all the time
You and I...
that's alright
We're the same soul
I don't need...
I don't need to hear you say
That if we weren't so alike
You'd like me a whole lot more
Listen to me now
I need to let you know
You don't have to go it alone
And it's you when I look in the mirror
And it's you when I don't pick up the phone
Sometimes you can't make it on your own
I know that we don't talk
I'm sick of it all
Can you hear me when I Sing,
you're the reason I sing
You're the reason why the opera is in me
Where are we now?
I've got to let you know
A house still doesn't make a home
Don't leave me here alone
And it's you when I look in the mirror
And it's you that makes it hard to let go
Sometimes you can't make it on your own
Sometimes you can't make it
The best you can do is to fake it
Sometimes you can't make it on your own
Tough, you think you've got the stuff
You're telling me and anyone
You're hard enough
You don't have to put up a fight
You don't have to always be right
Let me take some of the punches
For you tonight

Sunday November 19, 2006
I was watching MSNBC before and the show was about wounded soldiers who fought in Iraq and how shitty it is for them when they come home wounded. They lose jobs, their houses, are in debt and their families are torn apart. They don't tell you that when they run the commercials on TV for military enlistment. "Be all that you can be" Yeah.......just don't get wounded or need health care when you get home. There was one man who lost both legs and he was struggling to try to walk again. His wife left her home and job to be with him in the hospital. Once you leave the hospital they don't want to know you. We're practically GIVING money away (billions and billions of dollars) to the contracters and the shysters who got rich off the war yet we can't take care of our own wounded soldiers. There are different groups now that are making some progress in changing the situation eventually.
To change subjects now:
My father is a military veteran who served in Korea during the Korean War. He worked all his life, paid his taxes, never got a ticket, followed the rules his whole life. So he goes to renew his license in the DMV in Wallington, NJ last week. Some a-hole who didn't even speak English gave him a hard time, questioning if he was the person the birth certificate he bought with him belonged to. Now this birth certificate is from 1932..........the original. This idiot told him the birth certificate looked TOO OLD!!!! WELL IT IS OLD YOU FREAKIN' JERK! So then she showed it to another person (who spoke worse "english" than the first) and finally it got to a supervisor who okayed it, while my dad was humiliated and embarrassed. The thing that got him was these people who can't even put a sentence together coherently are making him go from person to person to be judged like he was trying to pull something over on the DMV. When he came home I could tell it upset him. How do these people get these jobs? I've been at the DMV before and the majority of them sit on their ass while we're waiting in line like you're all cattle being led to the feeding troughs. How can you get a job like that if you cannot speak proper English? And they look at YOU like you have three heads when you say "excuse me, can you repeat that"? when you can't understand the senseless babble that they say? Work on the accent, bubba and maybe people will understand you.
