Poetry: Enough! said the Clown with a Frown
the clown with a frown
is tired...
laughter
...a foreign sound
light a match
set me on fire
i want to burn
amongst the
smoke and flames
tired of rampant sexual abuse
(shhh...
we don't talk about that)
stealing a child's innocence
tired of racism
tired of denials
tired of governments
tossing band aids
at amputees
saying:
"hey, we did our best!"
so fucking proud
please stop
the cries are too loud
tired of a fake family
that doesn't exist
tired of the games we play
tired of fucking life skills
tired
of the sadness i see
protect the abuser
laughter
...a foreign sound
light a match
set me on fire
i want to burn
amongst the
smoke and flames
tired of rampant sexual abuse
(shhh...
we don't talk about that)
stealing a child's innocence
tired of racism
tired of denials
tired of governments
tossing band aids
at amputees
saying:
"hey, we did our best!"
so fucking proud
please stop
the cries are too loud
tired of a fake family
that doesn't exist
tired of the games we play
tired of fucking life skills
tired
of the sadness i see
protect the abuser
silence the abused
it's the way it is
i'm just a whitey
an outsider
never an insider
i'm just a whitey
an outsider
never an insider
the cops don't give a shit
the ministry don't give a shit
big fat pay cheques
keeps the silence
screaming:
"stop fucking the children,
please, stop fucking the children..."

Music: Keiji Haino & Coil, Greatest Hits Theory - Neil Young, Jane and Life stuff
MUSIC
listening to Keiji Haino & Coil: Playing the Blues (2003) is blowing an already blown mind...playing classic (blues? sometimes) songs in a totally new and unique style...keiji haino = no comparisons...Coil? gotta check em out...check em out...blow your mind...WOW! check them out on Wikipedia! interesting...now gotta hear em...
there is no reason to have original studio recordings on Neil Young's Archives I 1963-1972 - i mean
i have RULES!!!!
rule #1 - a multi-cd collection should be either all released (including b-sides, international releases etc.) OR all unreleased...for the collectors vs. uninitiated...
rule #2 - if you have bonus tracks on a reissue - do NOT insert the bonus tracks into the running order of the original album...a la Jimi Hendrix: Are You Experienced? (1967) [aside: an absolute travesty btw!]
i mean - the music is genius...brilliant...but there's no need for burned or broken arrow...if you want a greatest hits...fine, but combinations don't work. most people who would spend the $74,108 that the Archives blu-ray edition costs, most likely already have ohio or old man in their collection...
needless to say, this is still 5 star material, in spite of my rules.
FUCK RULES!
listening to Jane: Beautiful Lady (1986), and all I gots to say, is that...when it comes to music...the 80s sucked!!!
too much cocaine
not enough acid
they should all stick to pot anyway!
i enjoy jane's 70s albums. they're definitely a step below the Can, Amon Duul, Ash Ra Tempel, Popol Vuh, Faust brand of krautrock...but, i find their albums enjoyable. i even enjoyed the previous album - 1982's Germania...i didn't mind that one...this one??
it sucks...it sucks a LOT...
i hardly give out 1 star album, but...
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
LIFE
finally quit the job that drove me to write my halloween breakdown story...see ya later NHA!!!!
that fucking job affected my other, similar, job....when i didn't have that job for a couple of months, i finally started working on my computer skills again...job picked me up again (i'm casual) for once a week, and it's so stressful (yeh - you deal with drunken, fucked-up, cracked out people who just want a fucking meal - but it's not their fault! it's up to the fucking organization to provide support), and you get no support so you feel unsafe, alone....fucking stressed!!! when a client has to tell me that they have my back --- well, somethings really fucking wrong...i kept the momentum up on my computer skills...took a holiday...crashed....rested....travelled...took a break from everything...came back to that shitty job, and it was even more stressful...and since then i'm having a hell of a time trying to get cracking on my computer skills --- but i feel --- why??? it never gets me anywhere, and i can't put in the proper amount of time, to really get back in the field...so slow...every fucking career decision i've made has been the shits...in hindsight - always the wrong decision...don't get me wrong - i know i'm lucky...i still have potential...but, time is running out!...rant over and out....
ah...i feel much better...ok everybody! sit down and write out your own rant (for the web or not), and you'll feel a LOT bettter. I do!!!
time to start getting back into my computers!!!
