memorial.....the time of year where we meditate on the supposed significance of jesus' death and watch all types of crazy mufuckas come out of the woodwork.
anyway, we had a new sister move into our territory and lo and behold claims she's of the anointed.
she was all of 40 years old, 350 pounds, friendly, feels that the friends should treat her with special reverence "since she's one of christ's brothers" (wouldn't that be sisters?).
OMG, this is too damn funny! But, guys, come on. You have to know why she used a straw!!!!! I don't think she was worried at all about lipstick or germs.
Everyone knows if you drink with a straw, you get high twice as fast!

Babyboo, I love all types of music. I won't tell you my age, but I am into hip-hop big time. Not all of it. Some is just reworked crap. I love Outkast. Bombs Over Baghdad, one of my favorites. Guilty in America-JayZ, R.Kelly. I love old school too.
TuPac. At my funeral I've requested they play Dear Mama. Among others. (Spirit in the Sky, just so no jws will attend-lol)
My son (Lunatic the Messiah)recently won the Miller Genuine Draft Freshest MC contest here in Chicago. After that he opened for JaRule. He has a CD out and I'm praying he'll make it. Having gone to the KH when he was small has given him a real "different" slant in his lyrics, as you can imagine.
My favorite of his..."What Would God Do if He Were ME?"

I loved Enrique. He was trembling. Bon Jovie's "Livin' on a Prayer"...I cried. It brought back memories of another time. Loved Neil's "Imagine". Bono---too much.
I'm so glad I taped it. It was too short!

I loved it. Most of the songs were about peace, love, togetherness. I cried when Bruce came on, and was still crying when Willie ended it.
What do you guys think were the best performances?

taliban, taliban (no relation to tallyman, i swear!
... the similar phonics give me the creeps).
anywho, here's what you do with those jokers.. send in the delta force from ft.bragg.. drop 'em in to kabul and surroundings and they round up all taliban.. air ferry the captured taliban to sweden.. shave off their beards.. pump 'em full of estrogen.. and give 'em all a sex-change operation.. put 'em on the planes back to afghanistan, fly over kabul, .
No, no, Talleyman!!! If all the Taliban are captured, have a sex-change and go home, women will be running the country. They will have their jobs back. Be going to college. Life will be much better. So, they wouldn't have to suffer at all.
I say, shave off their beards, give them all 2 or 3 months worth of hormone injections, and stick them in the worst US prison you can imagine. Talk about justice....

how beautiful the music combined with this all consuming collective grief we all feel in behalf of those who experienced tragedy on sept 11 in nyc.
i am moved at the heart and feel the pain that is being expressed here tonight via television.
humanity at it's highest level is being displayed through one another and the cries go up to heaven through the music and the words and the stories of the victims.
I think it should have been longer!

forgive my spelling and my rambling.. i look at stevie i think i really let him down.
we are suppose.
to hand off a better world to our kids-i wonder if i'll have one.
1-Nobody has shown me this man has killed anyone
2-God [the Father] works in strange ways
I agree with that, Mark. I don't think it's been proven that he's actually killed anyone. But, just the photos of him with a sub-machine gun would make me think he approves of violence. But, like your #2 states, so did God many, many times. He could be being used by a higher power. Whether it's one or the other, only time will tell.
Still singing.....
One thing's for certain, the word "normal" will have to be rewritten in the dictionary in the years to come!

I copied this off of another site. I don't know who the man is who wrote it, but when I read it, I thought of what you and Stephen said, Mark, about NOT going back to being "normal." If we do, we haven't learned a damn thing!
*********************************
"Four thousand gathered for mid-day prayer in a downtown cathedral. A New York City church filled and emptied six times last Tuesday. The owner of a Manhattan tennis shoe store threw open his doors and gave running shoes to those fleeing the towers. People stood in lines to give blood, in hospitals to treat the sick, in sanctuaries to pray for the wounded.
America was different this week. We wept for people we did not know. We sent money to families we’ve never seen. Talk-show hosts read Scriptures, journalists printed prayers. Our focus shifted from fashion hemlines and box scores to orphans and widows and the future of the world.
We were different this week. Republicans stood next to Democrats. Catholics prayed with Jews. Skin color was covered by the ash of burning towers. This is a different country than it was a week ago.
We’re not as self-centered as we were. We’re not as self-reliant as we were. Hands are out. Knees are bent. This is not normal. And I have to ask the question, “Do we want to go back to normal?”
Are we being given a glimpse of a new way of life? Are we, as a nation, being reminded that the enemy is not each other and the power is not in ourselves and the future is not in our bank accounts?
Could this unselfish prayerfulness be the way God intended for us to live all along? Maybe this, in his eyes, is the way we are called to live. And perhaps the best response to this tragedy is to refuse to go back to normal.
Perhaps the best response is to follow the example of Tom Burnet. He was a passenger on flight 93. Minutes before the plane crashed in the fields of Pennsylvania he reached his wife by cell phone. “We’re all going to die,” he told her, “but there are three of us who are going to do something about it.”
We can do something about it as well. We can resolve to care more. We can resolve to pray more. And we can resolve that, God being our helper, we’ll never go back to normal again.

Mark, I understand the similarities you are drawing between Bin Laden and Jesus. The only thing I don't find similar is that Jesus never killed anyone or had anyone killed. Everything he did was with peace, love, and humbleness. He did cause quite a mess in the temple, but didn't murder any Pharisees.

this, it's a crazy puzzle..figure it out if you dare.
i got stuck at the snowman for a loooong time till i got a little creative and figured it out.. .. http://www.vectorpark.com/levers.html
Strange indeed. After I let some water out of the glass, all items were out of the water, but still not perfectly balanced. How do you know when you've won, bboy?
