I've been lately thinking
About my life's time
All the things I've done
And how it's been
And I can't help believing
In my own mind
I know I'm gonna hate to see it end

I've seen a lot of sunshine
Slept out in the rain
Spent a night or two all on my own
I've known my lady's pleasures
Had myself some friends
And spent a time or two in my own home

And I have to say it now
It's been a good life all in all
It's really fine
To have a chance to hang around
And lie there by the fire
And watch the evening tire
While all my friends and my old lady
Sit and pass the pipe around

And talk of poems and prayers and promises
And things that we believe in
How sweet it is to love someone
How right it is to care
How long it's been since yesterday
And what about tomorrow
And what about our dreams
And all the memories we share

The days they pass so quickly now
Nights are seldom long
And time around me whispers when it's cold
The changes somehow frighten me
Still I have to smile
It turns me on to think of growing old
For though my life's been good to me
There's still so much to do
So many things my mind has never known
I'd like to raise a family
I'd like to sail away
And dance across the mountains on the moon

I have to say it now
It's been a good life all in all
It's really fine
To have the chance to hang around
And lie there by the fire
And watch the evening tire
While all my friends and my old lady
Sit and watch the sun go down

And talk of poems and prayers and promises
And things that we believe in
How sweet it is to love someone
How right it is to care
How long it's been since yesterday
What about tomorrow
What about our dreams
And all the memories we share

10 year old refuses to say pledge of allegiance until gays and lesbians can get married, because until that time there really isn't "liberty and justice for all."

Leave me a comment saying "Resistance is Futile."

• I'll respond by asking you five questions so I can satisfy my curiosity
• Update your journal with the answers to the questions
• Include this explanation in the post and offer to ask other people questions

I received the following questions from

1. You now have a new kitty - who looks adorable, if a bit snooty - but what was your first pet?
when i was young we had a old poodle that was blind and death and an old tom cat that drooled something fierce. they are the earliest pets i can remember. but the first ones i had as my own were all things i caught my self as a kid. caterpillars, tadpoles, lizards and snakes. then one day a mouse i had gotten for a snake to eat was never eaten and he became Ace. one might say the first true pet of my own.
2. What is the appeal of carnivorous plants?
i find them endlessly fascinating. plants that hunt and pray on other living things. some move so fast they create a vacuum. most of them are incredibly advanced and uniquely adapted. they can be found in nearly every biosphere and many of them are one of a kind species.
3. Which gaming miniature(s) are you most proud of painting/making?
god lord anubis. i'm proud of any mini i get fully painted. generally i'm most proud of the most resent ones. but there has been a few i really liked. the dino marine, the pirate i did for a mini exchange, a few D&D mini i did for one of my games, and this plasma gunner came out nice in fact his whole squad did.
4. Some time ago you 'returned' a furry BSE baterium to it's native land. Which export of Britain to the States do you like the most?
hands down the BBC, so many of my favorite shows are from the BBC
5. How/Why did you join LJ?
many years ago my roomy was really into it. and so i decided to try it out. not much came from that but not long after i found out my girl fried at the time was on it. that got me more interested. and if you go back you will see i did a lot of quizzes back them. over the years i have hung in there. i like the fact that it makes it easier to keep in contact with old friends and that i get to meet new people, hell i even met one of my girl friends on LJ. all in all i find it far superior to any of the other social networks out there. hmm looks like 8 years or so. http://panzerwalt.livejournal.com/calendar/

heh, between LJ and IM(also because of an old GF) my spelling has gotten much improved.

The 11th Hour, of the 11th Day, of the 11th Month – When the Guns Fell Silent
title or description

In Flanders' fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place: and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders' fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe;
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high,
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders' Fields.

-Lt.-Col. John McCrae (1872 – 1918)

thank you all

Ecstacy's had a bad rap -
The drug's O.K. but the music's crap
Techno's made with computer cable
Sample machine and an old turntable
Get a loop, then cut and paste her
Buy a trip and lick the paper
There's new school, old school, prep school too
There's D.J's that nobody knew
But now they're known - for doing what?
Ideas? Music? Melody? Nup.
They don't sing, cos they're not able.
They put a record on a turntable.

Jupiter's orbit is about as long
As your standard rave techno song
Bleep bleep blurt, repeat at will
Do scratching crap, and go until
Two hours later - that bleep's still there
But change the reverb on the snare.

Hip-hop? Buddy, don't get me started.
So how do you get your song charted?
Kids love this stuff cos it's so new:
Put a sample in from a pop song too,
You've got a hit. How come it sold?
The melody, and it's thirty years old.
