alrosado (Ana L Rosado):
What lies behind us and what lies before us
are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.
This Be the Verse
They fuck you up, your mum and dad,
They may not mean to, but they do.
They fill you with the faults they had
And add some extra, just for you.
But they were fucked up in their turn
By fools in old-style hats and coats,
Who half the time were soppy-stern
And half at one another's throats.
Man hands on misery to man.
It deepens like a coastal shelf.
Get out as early as you can.
And don't have any kids yourself.
---Philip Larkin

Churn, Churn, Churn
(a song parody)
To everything (churn churn churn)
There is a deadline (churn churn churn)
And a time you should have finished every project.
A time to debug, a time to code,
To test local mail, to send node to node,
A time to build, and to integrate,
And a time to explain why it's late
To everything (churn churn churn)
There is a deadline (churn churn churn)
And a time you should have finished every project.
A time to reboot, a time to crash,
A time for checks, a time for cash,
A time to rush, a time to wait,
And a ti-ime to be-e kept waiting,
To everything (churn churn churn)
There is a deadline (churn churn churn)
And a time you should have finished every project.
A time to eat lunch, a time to write specs,
A time to go home, a time to have fun,
A time to work, a time to work,
And a time to work o-overtime
To everything (churn churn churn)
There is a deadline (churn churn churn)
And a time you should have finished every project.
A time to reflect, a time to explain,
A time to object, a time to refrain,
A time to agree, a time to fight,
But no time to do the job right
To everything (churn churn churn)
There is a deadline (churn churn churn)
And a time you should have finished every project.
A time to design, a time to code,
To send local mail, to send node to node,
A time to build, a time to test,
And a time to be taken away for a long rest
To everything (churn churn churn)
There is a deadline (churn churn churn)
And a time you should have finished every project.

mhbraun (Matthew H Braun):
Like the moment when the Brakes Lock,
And you slide toward the the big truck,
You stretch the fleating moments with your fear.
And you never hear their voices,
And you never see their faces,
You have no recourse to the law, anymore.
As the windshield melts,
And my tears evaporate,
Leaving only charcoal to defend,
Finally I understand the feelings of the few.
Ashes and diamonds,
Foes and friends,
We are all equal in the end.
-PF

ngetrich (Nathan L Getrich):
... Here I am, then: for the past four days the victim of an
overpowering passion. You know how strong my desires are, how they
thrive on obstacles; what you do not know is the extent to which
solitude can increase their force. I have only one idea: I think of
it all day and dream of it at night. It has become necessary for me
to have this woman, so as to save myself from the ridicule of being in
love with her: for to what lengths will a man not be driven by
thwarted desire? O sweet delight that for my happiness, for my very
peace of mind, I crave! How lucky we are that women defend themselves
so poorly! We should, otherwise, be no more to them than timid
slaves. At this moment I feel grateful to all women of easy virtue, a
sentiment which brings me naturally to your feet. Prostrate there, I
beg your forgiveness, and finish this too long letter. Good-bye, my
dearest love: no ill-feeling.(Choderlos de Laclos, @u[Les Liaisons
Dangereuses], p. 29-30)

rlcarr (Richard L. Carreiro):
(Relax. Take it easy.)
You see the world through your cynical eye,
You're a troubled young man, I can tell.
You got it all in the palm of your hand.
But your hand's wet with sweat
And your head needs a rest
And you're fooling yourself if you don't believe it.
You're kidding yourself if you don't believe it.
Why must you be such an angry young man
When your future looks quite bright to me?
And how can there be such a sinister plan
That could hide such a lamb?
Such a caring young man?
And you're fooling yourself (fooling yourself) if you don't believe it.
You're killing yourself (killing yourself) if you don't believe it.
Get up!
Get up! Get back on your feet!
You're the one they can't beat and you know it.
Yeah, come on!
Come on! Let's see what you've got!
Just take your best shot and don't blow it.
Whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa-oh-oh-oh-ohhh-oh-oh.
And you're fooling yourself (fooling yourself) if you don't believe it.
You're killing yourself (killing yourself) if you don't believe it.
Get up!
Get up! Get back on your feet!
You're the one they can't beat and you know it.
Oh, come on!
Come on! Let's see what you've got!
Just take your best shot and don't blow it.
Whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa-oh-oh-oh-ohhh-oh-oh.

Favorite Quote:

Favorite Song:
Be still my beating heart
It would be better to be cool
It's not time to be open just yet
A lesson once learned is so hard to forget
Be still my beating heart
Or I'll be taken for a fool
It's not healthy to run at this pace
The blood runs so red to my face
I've been to every single book I know
To soothe the thoughs that plague me so
I sink like a stone that's been thrown in the ocean
My logic has drowned in a sea of emotion
Stop before you start
Be still my beating heart
Restore my broken dreams
Shattered like a falling glass
I'm not ready to be broken just yet
A lesson once learned is so hard to forget
Be still my beating heart
You must learn to stand your ground
It's not healthy to run at this pace
The blood runs so red to my face
I've been to every single book I know
To soothe the thoughts that plague me so
Stop before you start
Be still my beating heart
Never to be wrong
Never to make promises that break
It's like singing in the wind
Or writing on the surface of a lake
And I wriggle like a fish caught on dry land
And I struggle to avoid any help at hand
I sink like a stone that's been thrown in the ocean
My logic has drowned in a sea of emotion
Stop before you start
Be still my beating heart
- Sting (of course!!)
