Another poem. This one can't be read. I only paratially know this language (barely at al) and the letters are more likely unreadibly. So why print it? It looks nice. I like the colors myself. And I get to use that hat again. Don't be fooled this is not very original at all. Neither is Locomotive breath – no I really didn't write that one. I only have one kid, he's doing fine, my best friend and wife have nothiing in common, no worry finding them in be together having fun (maybe someone I don't know, but not my best friend) and the rest- If thaf fucking train would just slow

JETHRO TULL LYRICS
"Locomotive Breath"In the shuffling madness

Of the locomotive breath,

Runs the all-time loser,

Headlong to his death.

He feels the piston scraping --Steam breaking on his brow --

Thank God, he stole the handle and

The train won't stop going --No way to slow down.

He sees his children jumping offAt the stations -- one by one.

His woman and his best friend --In bed and having fun.

He's crawling down the corridor

On his hands and knees --

Old Charlie stole the handle and

The train won't stop going --

No way to slow down.

He hears the silence howling --

Catches angels as they fall.

And the all-time winnerHas got him by the balls.

He picks up Gideon's Bible --

Open at page one --

God stole the handle and

The train won't stop going --

No way to slow down.

Poetry Corner -How do you think?

I get to use that hat logo-

"Thinking Concrete Operational"

Concrete operational,
Black and white,
Facts and equasions,
Words mean what they say!

If you want to know if your girlfriend, wife, husband, boyfriend, significant other, whatever is a conrete operational thinker show them this video by

Bob Dylan “She belongs to me”

If he, she, you say "What's that suppose to mean, or I don't get it, or what does that have to do with anything?" then he/she or you are concrete operational thinkers. If you like it, you have some type of abstract thought pattern and you find the lyrics mysterious and romantic – or just mysterious.

Next poem for those who want something political

"I do not like McCain, Slammed I am"
By 史蒂夫奥多

I do not like him on a box,
He pisses me off when I watch him in my sox,
I can't stand him here or there,
I can't stand the stinking lousy bastard anywhere,
I can not stand him Slammed I am!

Paris Hilton clobbers McCain

Finally Paris Hiltion has done something positive we can all be proud of. She has fought back at John McCain, with ads of here own, debunking McCain's trashing of Barak Obama as a "Celebraty, such as Paris Hilton or Britney Spears In this case the words came back to hount him as Paris makes a fool of him.
Now we know she isn't all money and looks. I can now enjoy her sluttyness more.

The 'Paris Hilton Factor' in Campaign 2008
John Diaz
August 10, 2008

Blame it on Paris.
Even before Paris Hilton came up with her spoof campaign ad against that "wrinkly white-haired guy," this was the year that viral videos arrived as a significant factor in presidential politics. But Hilton's video this past week raised the power and the art form of freelance politics to a new level on the Internet. Sen. Barack Obama's campaign strategists might not have known quite how to counter Sen. John McCain's attempt to compare the Illinois Democrat's celebrity to Hilton and Britney Spears. Hilton, however, knew exactly what to do.
She mocked back with an online "Paris for president" ad that questioned whether a candidate who was old enough to remember when "dancing was a sin" was ready to lead. Her response from a lounge chair was quick, self-deprecating, witty - and effective in turning the tables on McCain. The ad rocketed into e-mail in-boxes throughout the land.

It’s back to school book time

If you're going to high school, why not stock up on an academic book that can get you ahead.

Yes, you can argue that drug laws are racist, that heroin use has remained about the same since the year 1900. You can point out that drug use has been a part of our culture since the 1800s.
Why dig through a library. Just buy a book of your own. Can You Pass the Acid Test?: A History of the Drug and Sex Counterculture and Its Censorship in the 20th Century, By Steve Otto for this coming school year.
You can get it at:
At Barns and Noble: http://search.barnesandnoble.com/Can-You-Pass-the-Acid-Test/Steve-Otto/e/9781424170593/?itm=12

If you're in college you might want a book that tells what life was like in the 1970s
It was a time of hope, drugs and loose sex, and political changes that went on around the country.
