Coheed and Cambria - Welcome Home |
] |
I wrote this to my friends after some discussion of Rummy and the elections...(Go Blue!!!)
I am one of the few people in the world that still has an idealized view of our system?
It has served me well thus far, allowing me to:
own my own business
keeps the roads I drive on maintained
pays for public schools
helps feed the hungry
helps keep my grandparents alive
makes my toilet flush
keeps water coming out of my sink
etc?
don?t get me wrong, I know that the system is flawed.
I know I pay a lot in taxes. I know not ALL of the roads are great.
But I think that one person CAN make a difference.
I choose my candidates carefully. I read the issues, I cast my vote.
I exist in a grey area. I am a liberal who owns (and loves) guns. I am Pro-Choice but anti-abortion. I am for the death penalty but against the border fence.
I live in a purple state?Republican Governor and Democrat reps/senators.
I guess what I?m saying is, if you don?t want the system we have?do something about it. Write your local newspaper, call into talk shows, write letters to your senators/reps. Go to rallies. Contribute to a candidate?s campaign.
Do something!

hellooooooooo
nothing much to report.
just popping by.
I know most of us share this opinion, i just wanted to add my two cents...
I hate money.
i mean, really. I work, Robin works. we don't spend on crazy stuff like computers or (gasp) having fun. We just don't have any money. we barely make ends meet.
An old friend said that there was a big different between "Broke" and "Poor." right now, i'm having trouble telling them apart.

Saturday on Labor Day weekend is usually an interesting time for me.
Mom is heaed back to school, Ed's days will get a little shorter, Days cool down and Football starts up.
This year is different for me. I am in CT and working my tail off to make ends meet. Robin is getting frusterated with the work she's doing and the Red Sox are a walking MASH unit.
I guess Homesick would be the best way to describe how I feel.
For all the talk about the future of Total Beverage Systems, I miss my friends at CCHCS and the general crazieness of the help desk there.
I look forward to helping Mom out with the Fall Show at FBA...
I look forward to working to get the Mohegan Sun contract.
I look forward to Football season.
I look forward to getting a house.
I just wish that i could shake this funk I'm in right now.
It'll pass, it always does...thank god for Guitar Hero.
Three weddings coming up soon...Dennis and Lisa, Erich and Mel, Marc and Erin. Crazieness I tells ya.
Took Hazel to the Vet for a checkup...gotta take Willy next week. Getting them fixed in a month or so, if we can scare up the 200 or so bucks needed.
that is all for now...see y'all later

I have traded in my XBOX and eschewed console gaming for handhelds, PCs and Poker.
I love my PSP and DS lite.
I shall eagerly await the re-goddamn-diculously overpriced PS3.
I recently played in the Moneymaker Millionaire on Pokerstars (bad beat loss at the final table of the 1st round, had a set of Jacks, loss to fours full of Jacks) and I play on BODOG every day. Come and play w/ me (pedrowulf)
I highly recommend Darkstar One for the PC BTW.
Space Opera game in the tradition of Wing Commander and Privateer.
The demo is on Fileplanet right now.
I am currently playing in four Tabletop games.

"There For You"
Sometimes I'm selfish fake
You're always a true friend
And I don't deserve you
'Cause I'm not there for you
Please forgive me again
I wanna be there for you
Someone you can come to
Runs deeper than my bones
I wanna be there for you
I wanna be there for you
Swirling shades of blue
Slow dancing in your eyes
Sun kisses the earth
And I hush my urge to cry, cry
I wanna be there for you
Someone you can come to
Runs deeper than my bones
I wanna be there for you
I wanna be there for you
'Cause I hear the whispered words
Within your masterpiece beautiful
You speak the unspeakable through
I love you too
I wanna be there for you
Someone you can come to
I wanna be there for you
And be someone you can come to
The love runs deeper than my bones
I wanna be there for you

hello all...I'm back!
Anthony and Robin Emma
90 North St. Apt 3-k
Norwich, CT 06360
all is going pretty well so far here in the C Teezy.
Robin is working in the home office of Bob's Discount Home Furniture. She is on the GPS team, responsible for the fleet of trucks.
I am working for my uncles company. Total Beverage Systems. Basically, i service and clean the Draft Beer systems in several resturants and bars in SE Ct. (including Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun)
My week is something like this
Monday 3am-11am
Tuesday 3am-1pm
Wednesday 5am-11am
Thursday 5am-11am
Friday-Sunday off
of course, Robin works Tues-Sat 9:30-6:00pm so we never see each other...that leads me to my next point.
We are getting two 8 week old kittens today.
Twin grey tabbys. a boy and a girl
Willy Moe and Hazel Mae.
the funny thing is, I don't even like cats. Robin loves them though...I promised that if she found a good job, she could have a cat. These just kinda fell into our collective laps...so we took them.
Chris is living in Southie and waiting to hear from Law school, Jon is still in school for Massage Therapy. My mom is in Hawaii, Ed is home. Nana and Harry are well.
oh, speaking of the old folks, Mom and Ed are putting a huge addition on their house, putting in an In-Law apt for Nana and Harry. It should be done by the end of the summer. that should be fun.
any questions?

hi...um-member me?
still alive...
just without proper interweb access
more later
A love struck romeo
Sings the streets a serenade
Now he’s laying everybody low
He’s got a love song that he made
He finds a streetlight
And he steps out of the shade
And says something like
You and me, babe, how about it?
Juliet says hey, it’s romeo!
You nearly give me a heart attack!
Yeah well, he’s underneath the window
Now she’s singing hey-la, my boyfriend’s back
You shouldn’t come around here
Singing up at people like that
Ah anyway, whatcha gonna do about it?
Juliet
The dice were loaded from the start
And I bet and you exploded into my heart
And I forget, I forget the movie song
When you gonna realize
It was just that the time was wrong
Julie
We both come up on different streets
And they both were streets of shame
You know they’re both dirty both mean
Yes and the dreams were the same
And I dreamed your dream for you
And now your dream is real
So tell me honey
Now how can you look at me
As if I was just another one of your deals
Now you can fall for chains of silver
And you can fall for chains of gold
You know you fall for pretty strangers
And the promises they hold
Well you promised me everything
And then you promised me thick and thin
Now you just turn away and say
Romeo, I think I used to have a scene with him.
Ah juliet
When we made love you used to cry
You said I love you like the stars above
Gonna love you till I die
There’s a place for us
I you know this song
Now when you gonna realize
It was just that the time was wrong
Julie
But I can’t do the talks like they talk on my tv screen
I can’t do a love song not the way you song them to me
I can’t do everything but I would do anything for you
Oh no I can’t do anything except be in love with you
Yeah now and all I do is miss you
And the way it used to be you know
And all I do is keep the beat
I keep bad, bad company
And all I do is kiss you
Through the bars of a rhyme
When julie I’d do the stars with you
Anytime
Ah juliet
When we made love you used to cry
You said I love you like the stars above
I’m gonna love you till I die
There’s a place for us
I know you know the movie song
One day we’re gonna realize
It was just that the time was wrong
Julie
Julie
Julie
Now this love struck romeo
He sings the streets a serenade
Now he’s laying everybody low
He’s got a love song he made
He finds a convenient streetlight
And he’ll step out of the shade
And he’ll say something like
You and me, babe, how ’bout it?

Nickle Creek - Green And Grey |
] |
I’m in a room full of people, hanging on one person’s breath.
We would all vote him most likely to be loved to death.
I hope he still wants it, but it might remind him of when,
He aimed for the bulls eye and hit it nine times out of ten.
That one time his hand slipped, and I saw the dart sail away.
I don’t know where it landed, but I’m guessing between green and gray.
We thought nothing of it, but it still haunts him like a ghost.
With all eyes upon him, except two that matter the most.
He says green is the color everyone sees al around me.
Gray is the color I see around her, and she’s just a blur.
The more the corwd cheers, the less I can hear
And they don’t really care what I play. it might be for her.
But for now it’s between green and gray.
We paid and we cheered. now we’re gone and to us that feels right.
But for him every one of those evenings turns into a night.
With another hotel room where he lays awake to pretend
That he’s doing fine with his notebook and discman for friends.
He says green is the color everyone sees all around me.
Gray is the color I see around her, and she’s just a blur.
Night after night what I hear, what I write fills the room
And my head starts to sway. it might be for her,
But for now it’s between green and gray.
I want you to love me, he whispers, unable to speak.
And he wonders aloud why feelings so strong make the body so weak.
Then he awoke. now he’s scared to death somebody heard.
If it was you, and you know her, please don’t say a word
