The Riddle, Five for Fighting

There was a man back in '95

Whose heart ran out of summers

But before he died, I asked him

Wait, what's the sense in life

Come over me, Come over me

He said,

"Son why you got to sing that tune

Catch a Dylan song or some eclipse of the moon

Let an angel swing and make you swoon

Then you will see... You will see."

Then he said,

"Here's a riddle for you

Find the Answer

There's a reason for the world

You and I..."

Picked up my kid from school today

Did you learn anything cause in the world today

You can't live in a castle far away

Now talk to me, come talk to me

He said,

"Dad I'm big but we're smaller than small

In the scheme of things, well we're nothing at all

Still every mother's child sings a lonely song

So play with me, come play with me"

And Hey Dad

Here's a riddle for you

Find the Answer

There's a reason for the world

You and I...

I said,

"Son for all I've told you

When you get right down to the

Reason for the world...

Who am I?"

There are secrets that we still have left to find

There have been mysteries from the beginning of time

There are answers we're not wise enough to see

He said... You looking for a clue I Love You free...

The batter swings and the summer flies

As I look into my angel's eyes

A song plays on while the moon is hiding over me

Something comes over me

I guess we're big and I guess we're small

If you think about it man you know we got it all

Cause we're all we got on this bouncing ball

And I love you free

I love you freely

Here's a riddle for you

Find the Answer

There's a reason for the world

You and I...

I love that song.

Here's an interesting site I visit sometimes when I am bored, although it's a bit macabre.

I have my 'Disclaimer' linked in my signature here (check it out if you're remotely interested). Here's another one I wrote for a bike forum:

My name is David, and I am (apparently) a Safety Nazi. I've tried to get clean and sober, but failed, so I still, sadly, have opinions about matters of personal safety when riding.

That's all they are, though: opinions. I'm not the cops, I'm not the army, I'm not a politician, I have no power (except what my wife lets me have) - so my opinions won't be enforced on you.

You're a grown-up. You have the right to make your own decisions, and the responsibility to bear the consequences of your decisions. I can't decide for you, and wouldn't want to if I could.

I reserve the right, though, to have my own opinion and to state my opinion: including in the case where my opinion is that your decision is ridiculous and dangerous and likely to get you or others killed.

Do what you want to do, be what you want to be, yeah... and for pity's sake, STOP WHINING!

[Bravus]

And my kids spend a lot of time on http://www.i-am-bored.com

I'm seldom that bored (I tell the kids "only boring people are bored" - no offense to anyone here!), but the number of posts I just made in this thread suggests that today, I just might be

Sadak in Search of the Waters of Oblivion

This painting hangs in the St. Louis Art Museum. I will take you there someday.

Yes ... you shall. Indeed. ;-)

I do hope they shall have prints for sale ... large ones ....

sister of night, when the hunger descends

and your body's afire, an inferno that never ends,

an eternal flame that burns in desire's name --

sister of night, when the longing returns

giving voice to the flame, calling you through flesh that burns,

breaking down your will to move in for the kill --

oh sister, come for me,

embrace me, assure me.

hey, sister. i feel it, too.

sweet sister, just feel me,

i'm trembling, you heal me.

hey, sister. i feel it, too.

Strange beautiful music. Agalloch is one of my favourite bands, but this definitely won't be to everyone's taste: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zHcOZhFkEU4

Lyrics:

Aurora swims in the ether

emerald fire scars the night sky

Amber streams from Sol

are not unlike the waves of the sea

Nor the endless horizon of ice

Aurora swims in the ether

emerald fire paints the twilight

Heidrun bleeds the golden nectar

for the raising sun and the moon

(Heidrun is a goat in Norse mythology who makes mead)

Agalloch are named after a kind of oak tree, and their lyrics celebrate the beauty of nature

[Nicodema]

That was absofreakinglutely AWESOME!!!!! ZOMG!!!!!!!!!

I have to get me some CDs of their stuff!!!

Bravus you amaze and delight me. Are the lyrics above the complete song? I was wondering what they were saying toward the end when the guy started singing in a kind of "gravelly" pitch and then of course at the end where he has his arms up and he's wailing for all he's worth.

Dang that was awesome. I gotta pass it on to my son and ex now too, they will love it. My ex especially will get a kick out of the mention of Heidrun.

[Bravus]

I think that's all of the lyrics for that one. They use a variety of vocals, including that kind of black metal thing, but have a lot of instrumental stuff... and yeah, I love the beauty and variety of what they do. The album 'The Mantle' is probably the best place to start in checking them out.

I'm not smitten with mindless boredom. I'm never smitten with mindless boredom except when sitting in training sessions and having powerpoint slides read verbatim to me. However, I am often afflicted with avoidance issues and am currently avoiding redoing my homework assignment.

My computer fan is humming too loudly. I think it damages my hearing.

My sonic mice deterrents are clicking away in various rooms.

I found a dead mouse on my kitchen floor two days ago. No sign of cause. Lest you think I harbor mice, no, that is not my intent. They tend to move in when the ground is tilled after the harvest and their homey little holes have undergone catastrophic destruction.

I spent three hours on my homework yesterday (web design class), went to upload my project. It did not exist. Not even in the "Recycle Bin" which, in my XP, is the worst recycle bin in my experience. Nothing is ever retrievable from it.

If I think about it, I might be having a headache, but I won't think about it. I don't think, therefore it ain't.

I read a book when I am bored and check in here when I need a break from that.

Boredom is a luxury in my life!!

[cricket]

Luxury is boredom in mine.

[Amelia]

Am I bored? Ah, I'm too lazy to find out.

[cricket]

Anyone wanna take me out to the ballgame?

[Amelia]

Don't make me break out my whoopin stick!!!
