And I learned My Way of Living By 3 Wise Men....

Since Brinton may or may not update his poker notes, and I don't have a whole lot of time right now...

We can safely sum up Friday Night Poker as such:











My twenty thrown down in my fist of rage
and the man to my left folded down
well Johnny doubled up with a royal flush
I had three jacks and a pair of nines
my mind is turning just two shots more
there's not much left to play,
Well then dude walks in, black hat on top, what a mop
I'm lucky it wasn't a county cop
cause I'm just running out of time

Who's up for game two,
what to do
my wallet's getting thin
and i just lost my watch last night
well I got a problem just one answer
got to throw it all down
and kiss that shit goodbye

That was a crazy game of poker
I lost it all
but someday i'll be back again
And I'm never to fold
never to fold

Who's up for game three
I can barely see the bourbon drowning next to me
And I just lost it all
well there's a man sittin next to me
Red with smiling eyes.
It's funny,
I don't have no money tonight
yeah
That was a crazy game of poker
I lost it all
But someday I'll be back again
And I'm never to fall never to fall


I say now skittleedat dat how bout that?
I'm coming out the front never coming out the back
and I walked into the bar yesterday
Cause I had something to do,
something to say
And Johnny walked in right behind me
and I didn't turn around
Til I heard the sound of his feet falling on the ground
I looked over my shoulder and I saw a clown
And I said what'cha doin' in the bar tonight?

so i said Johnny whatcha doing tonight?
He looked at me with a face full of fright
And I said, how bout a revolution?
And he said right.
I say of, you say a
I say revolution, and you say dah
I say of, you say aI say revolution, and you say dah
and I said, what'cha looking at?

he hit me across my face with a bat

so I grabbed my .45
and I said let's get out and go-oh-oh-oh-oh
so he opened the door, and said whatcha here for?
I said I'm wandering down this road 44
and I said I've been walking for about a thousand years.
and i said my feet are growing tired
My eyes a little wired
Don't know what to do unless I retire
he just said let's play some crazy poker

yeah
Well I said Johnny whatcha doing tonight?
He looked at me with a face full of fright
And I said, how bout a revolution?
And he said right.
I say of, you say a I say revolution,
and you say jah I say of, you say a
I say revolution, and you say dah dah dah
and that was the craziest game of poker that i ever saw
said that was the craziest game of poker that i ever saw

Where are we goin' ?
Where do we come from?
Why do we lie now?
What do we know?
I don't know a damn thing at all.
For me, For me, I walk
For me, I live.
For me, For me I thank.
But love for everyone.

Got 5 cards.
That's what I been dealt.
Sometimes I wish
I was 6 feet tall and built.
But that's not me

And the hand that I have is my life
And that is what I will do.
I am playing but not for you.
And I learned my way of living from three wise men
You see, oh yes, they taught me , the lesson that I am giving to you
I am trying to live my life by these very simple rules:

You can lose all your money
You can lose all your gold
You never lose your heart and no one can't take your soul

Thats why I'm not gonna quit and I'm never gonna stop
i dont give a shit because I got the drop
Johnny just got two eyes just like mine
I'm feeling kinda funky, kinda fine
and I drank a bottle of whiskey, 'fore I came
Came to the bar to see
what's the same

I saw my man named Johnny
sittin' across the table from me
well to my left there was a man,
i said he had no gin
Didn't really think about starting to sin
The man to my right wasn't feeling kinda nice
He musta been kinda mad,
I felt bad Beacuse I took his money last night
it's kinda funny
But now I'm just struggling-- I love my honey-bunny,
I don't know what to say anymore S
o I'm just gonna go out that door


and I said Johnny whatcha doing tonight?
He looked at me with a face full of fright
And I said, how bout a revolution?
And he said right.
I say of, you say a
I say revolution, and you say dah
I say of, you say a
I say revolution, and you say dah
I say of, you say a I say revolution, and you say dah
I say of, you say a I say revolution, and you say dah that was crazy, i feel crazy,
life is amazing.

Do You Hear What I Hear...

Sorry for the lack of updates... (I never have been one to update regularly anyway.) Yes, I have been busy. With my cuz's wedding out of the way and getting into a routine with my new position, I am definitely ready for some time off.

Anyway, since I have nothing new to really add to anyone else's updates, I give to you my new portion of this blog. I am horrible at hearing song lyrics. It's not that I am old and I can't hear, I've never been one to be able to sing the right words to a song. when I was extremely little, maybe 3-4 years old, my mother used to listen to what I thought was the most violent song I'd ever heard. Imagine later on discovering that the song was "You're So Vain" by Carly Simon. My parents got a real kick out of me screaming "Don't Shoot! Don't Shoot". Anyway, this problem has only gotten worse as I got older. So, with that in mind I now bring to you some of my very favorite misheard lyrics. Of course, you have to figure out the song and artist yourself...

Didn't want to make it to easy!

Song1

She keeps her Moet et Chandon
In her pretty cabinet
'Let them eat cake' she says
Just like Marie Antoinette
A built-in remedy
For Kruschev and Kennedy
At anytime an invitation
You can't decline
Caviar and cigarettes
Well versed in etiquette
Extraordinarily nice

Song 2

Back at base, sparks in the software
Flash the message "something's out there"

And just for Cory and Brinton: I include the following...

Song 3 (the whole song just for you!)

For Boston for Boston,
we sing our proud refrain
for Boston for Boston '
tis wisdom's earthly fame
for here are all one and our hearts are true
and the towers on the heights reach the heavens own blue.
for boston for boston 'til the echoes ring agin!
For Boston for Boston thy glory is our own
for Boston for Boston 'tis here that truth is known
and ever with a right shall our heirs be found
'til time shall be no more and thy work is crowned
for Boston for Boston thy glory is our own!

For All:

Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything because it is spoken and rumored by man. Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it.
