The Paradox of the Prankster

My Thursday Mantra -- The Sky Is Falling Edition

Just this morning
I went outside
To get the paper
And then I saw it

Coming down
From outer space
All these big
Shiny rocket pieces

Crashing down
Into Wyoming the
Busted parts zoomed
Russian space junk

It goes to show
That we must remember
To keep our heads up
And to be ready

For another showering
From the junk we fly
Souvenirs from
Way up in the sky

My Thursday Mantra -- Thinking About Number 27 Edition

It was over very quickly
The shooters drove by real slow
Lucky only one person died
As their blood soaked the snow

Another family shattered
Sadly happens everyday
14 bullets took another
He was trying to get away

What madness infects those
Who committed this crime
To cause this family to suffer
One more taken before his time

Our stay here's not a given
Precious life can exit fast
Make the most of this gift
For one day it shall be past

I hope you have someone
To hug this January night
Take time to warm them in
The glow of your love's light

My New Year Mantra -- 2007 Edition

Waking up to
A brand new year
Energy is roaring
My mind feels clear

Took one last look
Around this town
Had many great times
Rarely had a frown

Time now here to
Change some things
Abundant possibilities
The new year brings

My heart soars high
As the pieces fit
This crazy life puzzle
I'm glad I never quit

Rarely is the road
Smooth as glass
Bumps and detours
Knocked me on my ass

But I get back up
Brush off the dust
Start back on the path
To do what I must

For All My Punk Rock Lovin' Buddies

I got to see Social Distortion play twice this year. The first time in Colorado and then later in the year in Norfolk, VA I saw them with my very good friend, Miss Six. This clip is Social D performing "Mommy's Little Monster" live at Red Rocks in Colorado on July 15, 2006.

Happy New Year!

May you have a fine time tonight and I look forward to catching up with everyone in 2007.

My Thursday Mantra -- Charlie's Thinkin' Out Loud Edition

Illustration by R. Crumb

Some call me
A man of leisure
Not that I don't like work
Just not all that much

Some say I
Must have no ambition
Not that I am not driven
Just not all that much

Some claim they
Have all the answers
Not that I don't have questions
Just not all that much

Some tell me
How to live life
Not that I don't believe them
Just not all that much
