You guys know how it goes:

The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the
Inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men
Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will
shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness
for he is truly his brother’s keeper and the finder of lost children
And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious
Anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers
And you will know
My name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee

    So then who’s talking to Jerry?

    You know that weird rabbit-looking guy from Donnie Darko?

    Him.

    Harvey? Ah, he’s no bother.

    Don’t let him talk you into a game of Snakes ‘n’ Ladders and you’ll be grand.

    What have I become, now that I’ve betrayed
    Everyone I’ve ever loved, I pushed them all away
    And I have been a slave to the Judas in my mind
    Is there something left for me to save
    In the wreckage of my life, my life

    I’m becom-, I’m becom-, I’m becoming
    I’m becom-, I’m becom-, I’m becoming
    Judas in, Judas in my mind
    I’m becom-, I’m becom-, I’m becoming
    I’m becom-, I’m becom-, I’m becoming
    Judas in, Judas in my mind

    If I were king of the forest, not queen, not duke, not prince,
    My regal robes of the forest would be satin, not cotton, not chintz.
    I’d command each thing, be it fish or fowl
    With a woof, and a woof, and a royal growl (woof).
    As I’d click my heel, all the trees would kneel
    And the mountains bow, and the wolves kowtow!
    And the sparrow would take wing
    If I — if I — were king.

    Five days out on an infinite sea, they prayed for calm on an ocean free
    But the surface of the water was indicating some disturbance.

    The raft was hurled by an unseen source, two hundred feet with frightening force
    And a dark mass rising showed to be a giant porpoise.

    Rising out of the angry sea, towered the creatures’ enemy
    And so the two sea monsters closed for battle.

    Crocodile teeth, lizard’s head, bloodshot eye stained ocean red
    Moving close to their raft’s side, the three men prayed as one and cried
    “Save me, save me, save me, save me”.

    When I woke up this morning, things were lookin’ bad
    Seem like total silence was the only friend I had
    Bowl of oatmeal tried to stare me down… and won
    And it was twelve o’clock before I realized
    That I was havin’ no fun
    But fortunately I have the key to escape reality
    And you may see me tonight with an illegal smile
    It don’t cost very much, but it lasts a long while
    Won’t you please tell the man I didn’t kill anyone
    No I’m just tryin’ to have me some fun

    this is a perfect song for my current situation. I feel like there have been days recently when I have lost a staring contest with my breakfast. My Condolences to everyone mourning his loss but it reminded of this song and made me smile ;-)

    Obsession

    You forests, like cathedrals, are my dread:
    You roar like organs. Our curst hearts, like cells
    Where death forever rattles on the bed,
    Echo your de Profundis as it swells.

    My spirit hates you, Ocean! sees, and loathes
    Its tumults in your own. Of men defeated
    The bitter laugh, that’s full of sobs and oaths,
    Is in your own tremendously repeated.

    How you would please me, Night! without your stars
    Which speak a foreign dialect, that jars
    On one who seeks the void, the black, the bare.

    Yet even your darkest shade a canvas forms
    Whereon my eye must multiply in swarms
    Familiar looks of shapes no longer there.

    Saturday night and you’re still hangin’ around
    Tired of living in your one horse town
    You’d like to find a little hole in the ground
    For awhile

    So you go to the village in your tie dyed jeans
    And you stare at the junkies and the closet queens
    It’s like some pornographic magazine
    And you smile

    Captain Jack will get you high tonight
    And take you to your special island
    Captain Jack will get you by tonight
    Just a little push, and you’ll be smilin’

    Oh yeah

    Your sister’s gone out, she’s on a date
    You just sit at home and masturbate
    Your phone is gonna ring soon
    But you just can’t wait
    For that call

    So you stand on the corner in your New English clothes
    And you look so polished from your hair down to your toes
    Ah but still your fingers gonna pick your nose
    After all

    Captain Jack will get you high tonight
    And take you to your special island
    Captain Jack will get you by tonight
    Just a little push, and you’ll be smilin’

    So you decide to take a holiday
    You got your tape deck and your brand new Chevrolet
    Ah, there ain’t no place to go anyway
    What for

    So you got everything, ah, but nothing’s cool
    They just found your father in the swimming pool
    And you guess you won’t be going back to school
    Anymore

    Captain Jack will get you high tonight
    And take you to your special island
    Captain Jack will get you by tonight
    Just a little push, and you’ll be smilin’

    So you play your albums, and you smoke your pot
    And you meet your girlfriend in the parking lot
    Oh but still you’re aching for the things you haven’t got
    What went wrong

    And if you can’t understand why your world is so dead
    Why you’ve got to keep in style and feed your head
    Well you’re 21 and still your mother makes your bed
    And that’s too long

    Captain Jack will get you high tonight
    And take you to your special island
    Captain Jack will get you by tonight
    Just a little push, and you’ll be smilin’

    Captain Jack will get you high tonight
    And take you to your special island
    Captain Jack will get you by tonight

    It’s only been a week
    The rush of being home in rapid fading
    The failing to recall
    What I was missing all that time in England

    Has sent me aimlessly
    On foot or by the help of transportation
    To knock on windows where
    My friend no longer live, I had forgotten

    And everywhere I go
    There’s always something to remind me
    Of another place in time
    Where love that travelled far had found me

    We stayed outside till two
    Waiting for the light to come back
    We didn’t talk I knew
    Until you asked what I was thinking

    Brave men tell the truth
    A wise man’s tools are analogies and puzzles
    A woman holds her tongue
    Knowing silence will speak for her

    The battle for the mind of North America will be fought in the video arena — the videodrome. The television screen is the retina of the mind’s eye. Therefore the television screen is part of the physical structure of the brain. Therefore whatever appears on the television screen emerges as raw experience for those who watch it. Therefore television is reality, and reality is less than television.

    A desire is never simply the desire for a certain thing. It’s always also a desire for desire itself; a desire to continue to desire. Perhaps the ultimate quarrel of a desire is to be fully filled in, met, so that I desire no longer. The ultimate melancholy experience is the experience of the loss of desire itself.

    The battle for the mind of North America will be fought in the video arena — the videodrome. The television screen is the retina of the mind’s eye. Therefore the television screen is part of the physical structure of the brain. Therefore whatever appears on the television screen emerges as raw experience for those who watch it. Therefore television is reality, and reality is less than television.

    Death to Videodrome! Long live the New Flesh!

    Life is getting a bit monotonous so this quote is stuck in my mind.

    Pinky: What are we going to do tomorrow night

    Brain: The same thing we do every night, Pinky – try to take over the world! .

    the same thing every day. the same thing every night, its so frustrating.

    Ding, dinka, dong in tuff sülwesternatta
    al boreal neon et terrans glace;
    antiko anno kojas quasi kass…
    ding rekviem sür akva et rabatta.

    Ding in novella et dong wæck senilo
    in tremulant annal-moment primær.
    Ding wæck la bluff ex tellus’ landamær,
    et dong in pravda pro noj instabilo.
