Leonard Cohen - Take This Waltz
Now in Vienna there's ten pretty women There's a shoulder where Death comes to cry There's a lobby with nine hundred windows There's a tree where the doves go to die There's a piece that was torn from the morning And it hangs in the Gallery of Frost Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay Take this waltz, take this waltz Take this waltz with the clamp on its jaws Oh I want you, I want you, I want you On a chair with a dead magazine In the cave at the tip of the lily In some hallways where love's never been On a bed where the moon has been sweating In a cry filled with footsteps and sand Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay Take this waltz, take this waltz Take its broken waist in your hand
This waltz, this waltz, this waltz, this waltz With its very own breath of brandy and Death Dragging its tail in the sea
There's a concert hall in Vienna Where your mouth had a thousand reviews There's a bar where the boys have stopped talking They've been sentenced to death by the blues Ah, but who is it climbs to your picture With a garland of freshly cut tears? Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay Take this waltz, take this waltz Take this waltz it's been dying for years
There's an attic where children are playing Where I've got to lie down with you soon In a dream of Hungarian lanterns In the mist of some sweet afternoon And I'll see what you've chained to your sorrow All your sheep and your lilies of snow Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay Take this waltz, take this waltz With its "I'll never forget you, you know!"
This waltz, this waltz, this waltz, this waltz ...
And I'll dance with you in Vienna I'll be wearing a river's disguise The hyacinth wild on my shoulder, My mouth on the dew of your thighs And I'll bury my soul in a scrapbook, With the photographs there, and the moss And I'll yield to the flood of your beauty My cheap violin and my cross And you'll carry me down on your dancing To the pools that you lift on your wrist Oh my love, Oh my love Take this waltz, take this waltz It's yours now. It's all that there is |

| Why Holland Computers Sucks |
[Sep. 23rd, 2009|10:14 am] |
HollandComputers.com sold me a video card which would display the screen in a fragmented manner every couple of days and would force me to reboot to work. I spent months emailing their support staff and having them play that game where they pretend to believe that your whole computer is at fault before they will believe their product is broken.
After finding that no amount of proof would satisfy them I bought a new video card from Satan (Beast Buy). All is now well but of course HollandComputers.com sucks and declines to accept the return of their bad product since it is past the return period. Of course when they started dicking me around it wasn't past the date.
HollandComputers.com: bad people with bad service and bad products. Don't buy from HollandComputers.com |

| Zeke's Homework |
[Sep. 1st, 2009|09:31 pm] |
Ganked from my wife.
Zeke just finished his homework. He had to use vocabulary words in sentences:
1. They are VICTIMS of my last massacre, dude. [The 'dude' is because each sentence needs at least 9 words.]
2. The BOTTOMLESS pit is deep, dark, and very scary.
3. It takes a SILVER bullet to stop a werewolf.
4. The zombies attacked the DOCTOR and all the nurses.
5. Help, the teachers and the PRINCIPLE are after me! [He had to do that one over because it was the wrong type of principle.] Changed to: A PRINCIPLE in my house is "never talk to strangers."
6. A missile hit the COCKPIT of the jet fighter.
7. There was at least a BILLION bats in there!
8. He saw a HUNDRED monsters and goblins in the cave.
9. For some reason, the monster had green CONTACT lenses.
10. He sat on a CACTUS and now his butt hurts. |

| No Beans Tonight - Contagious kids |
[Aug. 24th, 2009|08:42 am] |
Hi folks,
Zeke has a little fever and Isaiah a little cough for the last 14 hours so we figured it is best to wait until next week to have beans.
peace,
David |

| Zaya says |
[Aug. 14th, 2009|09:40 pm] |
So Isaiah was singing TMBG's "I Never Go To Work" (a household favorite) and he got to the line "OnThursday it's a holiday and Fridays I detest!". So I asked "Zay, what's a holiday?"
And that little monkey said "Holiday goes in at Christmas!"
He is a sponge for everything including Zeke's Bakugon trivia and my song lyrics. He cops his mama's calculator and goes around telling everyone he is checking his email.
He has been willing again lately when he wakes at 5 or 6 to go on stroller rides with me. We discuss at length what kind of trees and birds we see. We say good morning to all the kitties as they slink home and discuss their markings and how pretty they are.
Any people we meet are greeted until they respond or are out of sight.
When we walk the dogs Zaya is determined to be responsible for strong, impulsive Johnny who has skinned Zeke's knees and elbows. Rachel came up with the clever innovation to add a second leash for Zay to hold.
Zeke is such a better sibling than I ever was. He makes me proud and merry for lack of a better word. Especially when he does things like teaching the neighbor kid to do a "ding dong ditch" (ring and run) and then tells me how the kid got in trouble for this never thinking I might work out who had taught the 6 year old neighbor.
Fatherhood is just a blast! |
