What I Thunk

What if I just told you what I thunk
Didn't hide behind the lies and all the junk

That unfiltered flow covered all my pages
And my minds agony burst out in rages

Would you listen?
Would you run?
Would you show me how it's done?
When you watch my soul come undone, unspun, in public, in the sun?

How fruitless is this earth
When sterility is our girth
And senility is our plight
As we look into the long dark night

I'm enraged and disengaged as I age inside my cage
As the sands of time flow faster
I race towards my Master
My Muse
My Light
The Source of my delight
The One who always knows
All those things I don't disclose
To all the yo's and the swine
Who take my pearls and whine
Then plot and design
To silence my divine
Energy | Karma
It's my life, my Dharma
That they be hatin'
So they waitin'
Till I slip up
Then they be wastin'
Me if they can
Or a friend I call "my man"
That's the plan
And as it stands
I don't think I'll ever get out of this place alive
Will you?

So while I'm here
I'm gonna give it
Gonna be sincere
Gonna live it
Stop hidin' my light
'neath that bushel
Not tryin' to push y'all
Just remindin'
That those earthly lights may be blindin'
But they neva can compare
To those lights in the air
Those heavenly hosts
Be aware
They there
Ain't goin' no where
Till the new day comes to wipe it all clean
Know what I mean?

Look, I'm not tryin' to be apocolyptic
But let's just say,
It's hard not to get cryptic
When we lookin' at that crazy shit on the screen
While we hear
Playing in our heads
"Life is but a dream"
Or an illusion
What is it?
I don't know
But I won't dis it
I'll just kiss it
Don't wanna miss it
This may be our only chance
To bliss it

Welcome to Mimico

I was looking up directions today on Google Maps and tried to zoom and accidentally activated their Street View feature. I didn't know that they had mapped our neighborhood yet, the last time I had checked had been quite a while ago. From the looks of the photos they were taken over the summer.

So, anybody wondering what it looks like where I live in Canada but can't come for a visit, now you can see for yourself. And like any good trip to Mimico, we have to start at the Beer Store...

Real Transforming Robot

What else can I say, this is incredible. Maybe transforming robots are going to be a lot more than just science fiction.

Who Said Pigs Don’t Fly

I know I said I hated facebook, but I'm really impressed with how it has become such a good place to share things with friends and family. They have made the privacy controls a lot better and a lot easier to use, and there just isn't the spam or noise that there are on other sites like myspace or twitter.

That said, when I started using facebook there weren't that many Americans on it, so not many people that I knew before moving to Canada. Now there are tons, including a lot of people I haven't seen or talked to in years. Talking to them has brought back a lot of memory and emotion, which inspired me to put this up.

To all of my friends and family who live far away, or for whatever reason I don't get to see or talk to as often as I wish I could, I just wanted to say I miss you, I love you... I remember you and think about you all of the time.

Robots, Cars & Megan Fox

Despite all of the cheesiness that pretty much anything done by Michael Bay, well, maybe even because of it, the next Transformers flick Revenge of the Fallen looks promising as the biggest film of the summer (or at least the biggest robots, although I hear the robots in Terminator Salvation are pretty big too). Robots, cars & Megan Fox... it doesn't really need to be coherent in any way. Did I mention Megan Fox?

I made a comment to my wife while we watched the trailer that I guess they were working on a trilogy, with Revenge of the Fallen sounding a little too much like The Empire Strikes Back, and sure enough, as per imdb, Transformers 3 is in development.

Add Star Trek and it sounds like a perfect drive-in combo.  Sweet!
