to be of good cheer
on this day that grows near
because that's what human kind wants to hear
blessed is the child, a manger far away
gifts to him, the baby that lay
tidings to Jesus, ofcorse that's what they'll say
Christmas is about him, dint you know
so we bless everyone, even the low
but the thought still haunts me, ever so
"what is Christmas", just snow?"
take the packages, take the bows
take all those presents, all to go
get rid of the red and green to die
because Christmas spirit is all to shy
the shops with their signs and lights to boot
take Christmas's joy like pirates with loot
while CEO's, in their chairs yell Woot!
it's a shame what this holiday has become
family's that argue and hum
liquor, beer, egg nog and rum
is all what this damn holiday has become
we see it all the time, disguised as comedy and such
to the point where we don't give a fuck
we try to preserve it's joy, but its all luck
so as we remember Christmas, with all of its cheer
remember its blessings and hold it near
for Santa may not be real, its true
but make his spirit real, for you
Christmas lives inside all
even when its not summer, spring or fall
to err is to human, bill once said
but to not be fooled, like sheep being led
to honor the traditions, family, and such
as sacrifices, for blessing, and [roasted] nuts
they say Christmas is the best time of year
and people should be nice when this time grows near
but why this day, to be kind when its near
why not everyday of the year
Christmas is a lie, for the shops,businesses, and stores
all they want to do, is use us like whores
but stand and say "Christmas to all, lets get rid of these sores"
the free gifts with thought, made with soul
just for the smile, to make us whole
the gift with thought, with time, with love
to make Christmas great, to fit like a glove
to i say unto you, the few who read this blog
enjoy Christmas, with the gift, blessings and nog
hope grandma doesn't get hit, while she's walking in the fog
blessing to your house, an old Christan way
but i tell you with compassion, i say
for me, it about a manger with baby that lay
to for you, i don't know, but merry Christmas to all creeds
because on every 25th of December, it will fill your Christmas need's
MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM TO HELL AND BACK!

The Super Smash Bros. Project 2!
howdy folks, today we will research the never ending question of "WHO WILL BE IN THE NEXT SUPERSMASH BROS.?" of my opinion these people should be in said game.
1st: JOHN MCLAIN!
this character will be a combination of the speed of captain falcon, and the strength of link. his attacks will consist of him getting 20% damage head shots from his classic 9mm and 15% damage from his hand to hand style. not a high jumper, cause he's human, and his double jump with be due to an explosion under him. known for throwing bombs and grenades, his b-moves would be indeed the throwing of nades while him screaming "die you fuckers!" and last but no least, his taunt will be the whole background exploding and all the players dieing while his voice yells "yippie ki-yay mother fuckers"
2nd: CAPTAIN UNDERPANTS!
wow, i mean wow ... look at him, he even looks like a combination between mario and kirby, naked. with his strong punched and cleaver, crude methods of damage, he will bring down tyranny with his mighty jockstrap of doom. strong like mario, but can fly like kirby. NICE. taunt: he moons the screen.
3rd: MEGAMAN!
=D need be said, megaman has always been a fav. in Nintendo, it has always been mario, link, megaman, at least in my little Nintendo world (NES)so lets bring him back, lets bring him back to the world of Nintendo to sit in his rightful spot next to a plumber and an elf. i know what you might thinking, and no, he will not be like samus aran. he is equipped with the classic powers, blaster, rush jump, cut man ability, woodman shield, gutsman rock throw, the usual from the first two. taunt: he'll look at the screen an with the thumbs up, wink.

humor: the sadist and the masochist
a tale in little shop of horrors in which two men are faced with a problem. pain. i didnt write the skit, but i did the blocking and the emotional elaboration.
THE DENTIST
VERSES
Masochist
WRITTEN BY Charles B. Griffith
Arranged by John Denyer
Parts: The pain guy
Orin the dentist
Nurse
Mother
Head gear kid
Seymour
Location: dentist office, two chairs against the wall, a desk and a dentist chair with a bunch of painful dentist tools
(Screams from a kid getting drilled)
(Nurse enters)
pain guy: (he’s standing on his seat with his knee’s twitching, acting like the exact opposite of someone visiting Dr Orin, happy rather then fearful) hey does that sound mean their finished? My turn?
Nurse: sit down!
(Two people enter, one is a mother and the other is a child with head gear on gasping from pain)
Pain guy: WOO! What happened!? What did he do? Tell me everything!
Head gear kid: AHHHH AHHH (painfully points toward jaw and a pulling motion with hands)
pain guy: hmmm that’s right, (to mother) they have to do that to remove the jaw.
Head gear kid: ahh ahh! AHH! (Again even more painfully points to the inside of the head gear/ roof of mouth while screaming)
pain guy: (almost cocky) ah well consider yourself very, VERY lucky (steps back to chair while nodding to sit, right when he sits in his funky stand with feet on chair, the dentist walks in)
Orin: NEXT!
Pain guy: (stands on chair, very existed) IT’S ME! IM FROM DEARBORN!, I’M NEXT!
Orin: NURSE! (Almost annoyed, and eager to figure out what’s going on)
Nurse: (as she walks out with jacket) huh?
Orin: (curious) does uhhh that have an appointment? (When he says “that” he’s referencing to the weird attitude that the pain guy has toward the dentist but still has no idea)
(Pain guy looks at the nurse then points to Orin, then to himself the whole time having a big grin on his face)
Nurse: (annoyed) I don’t know, ask him! I’m off duty (exits)
pain guy: (jumps to orin off chair, acts like he’s in the presence of a god) ive been saving all month for this, I think i need a root canal, I’m sure I need a long …. Slow … root canal. (Very close to Orin)
(Orin looks eager almost, but still confused, but to humor him he looks in his mouth, bending to his every whim, the pain guy kneels a bit so he can get a good look)
Orin: let’s go (walks toward dental chair)
Pain guy: (existed) ohhh….. (follows Orin) I have a history of dental problems…
Orin: (quick, snappy) shut up!
Pain guy: (in awe of his reaction, he feels like he just felt the touch of god) … yes doctor.
(Pain guy skips to chair)
pain guy: (sits in chair) I went to a terrible dentist on a Wednesday, who was recommended me by …. (Chair gets raised a bit higher, getting existed) somebody who I saw on Monday…. (Bump, getting more exited) who’s the brother of a man who I usually see on Sundays, and their mother is the one who taught them everything they know. (ad lib, adjust light, fidget, try to look at Orin ect.) She’s incredibly gifted by a lot of people don’t think that she should be working (pulls out personal bib) I go to her because I am incredibly devoted to her strength. (puts bib on)
Orin: (Orin listening and getting ready to invoke a lot of pain on him, sarcastically) aww
Pain guy: she can’t really see who you are, but she knows the sound of your voice, she can’t really see, but if you tell her where it’s at, the problem (all the while putting gauss in mouth) she eventually works her way down (Orin sharpening tools) and she finds the problem and fixes it. (Dainty like, almost a pansy) I wish I had that kind of family, that’s how I wanna be, I don’t ever wanna have to just …. (Chair flings back to a laying down position)
Orin: (sadistically) comfy?
Pain guy: (child like) yes doctor.
(Orin goes to pick up all the painful tools)
Pain guy: I remember the first time I ever went to dentist and I thought gosh what a neat job, if only I was a dentist. The dentist I went to had the greatest car, he had a corvette, and I thought, my god, everyone calls him doctor but he’s not really a doctor … (Orin holds a painful tool, grins) (pain guy looking at tool in awe) oh my god (Orin taking out more painful tools, Orin and the pain guy are getting very exited) only I got out of there ok, then you know uhhh (pain guy faints a little at the sight of the tool) then they gave me a candy bar. Then I thought to myself, this is what I get a candy bar? This is what you do, you go through a little thing and you get chocolate out of it. (Exited with knees on chair) you get to work with incredible professionals (just got done setting all the tools on the bench) who get to use incredible incredibly wonderful equipment….
Orin: (interrupted the pain guy) now lets take a look at the mouth. (Whips out large painful pliers) (Pain guy gets big eyes and gasps) say ah!
Pain guy: (sings and smiles) AHHHHHHHHHHHHH! (ad lib. screaming, like I want candy, ohhh, yay, charge with do’s, weeeee! Oh yes your good ect.)
(Seymour enters with baseball cap and jacket and sits and pulls out gun and puts it back in pocket, looking very nervous)
(Takes pliers out of pain guys mouth in shock)
Pain guy: AHHH, OHHH! You are something special! Come on, come on, yes! (More ad lib) (With a new tool, Orin opens pain guy’s mouth) THANK YOU, THANK YOU! OHHHH! (Orin grabs new tool) DON’T STOP, OHH YES! (Orin goes for the tongue) (Jokingly moving tongue side to side while Orin goes after it with pliers) what do you want? Huh? I’m over here now! He he he (Orin gets the tongue and pulls him up by it, getting furious, he drops him to the seat) he he he he!
(Seymour getting curious on what’s happening)
(Pain guy still screaming)
Pain guy: (“BIIIIIIZZZZZ” goes the drill that Orin is about to use) OH YES! I’ GUNNA GET A CANDY BAR! I’ GUNNA GET A CANDY BAR!
(Orin mounting pain guy while wielding the drill)
(Pain guy screaming and clapping and begging for more)
(Orin drilling Pain guy and making the most determined face to cause pain)
(Seymour getting more nervous by the second)
(now a pleasuring scream from the pain guy, filled with moans and oh yes’s, while Orin is getting pissed off, finnaly done, the pain guy screams oh yes, woah. All moans are filled with pleasure)
Orin: (cold, mean, hurt) GET OUT ….
Pain guy: (confused) what’s wrong?
Orin: GET OUT OF HERE …
Pain guy: (spits gauss out, some hit Orin, most on pain guy’s face) what’s a’ matter? (Pain guy sits up; Orin puts drill away and backs up) (Orin glares at pain guy)
Orin: (Orin pushes pain guy out of the door) you heard me, get out of here now! (Leads right to the door) right this way!
Pain guy: I’m gunna tell all my friends about you and their gunna hear about you….
Orin: JUST GET… (Pushes pain guy but feels something, grabs tool out of his suit pocket) what’s this???!!!
Pain guy: (smiles) OOPS! (Laughs) sorry! (Slam door, pain guy exits)
Orin: (looks at tool) SICKO!

define: reality and art*
hello readers
i will be starting new segments in which i will be titling my new posts as one letter titles. such as "define", "imagine", "humor", "allusion", "vision", "quote", and
"quest"
today i will be reintroducing the subject of our constant strive to disconnect ourselves from this mondain reality that haunts us so. like a cheesy b movie character, blessed individuals are blessed with the talent of creating art. art: in the aspect of creating an object or platform that relates to a feeling, scenery or person (see also humanities). we are here today from a union of both art and science. the study of reality and the vision of escaping it. art allows us to see what cant be see with our eyes (at the moment or at all). art comes in the form of painting, digital, sculpture, body, literature, music, and technology* (*kind of like the "y" to vowels, it sometimes can be both art and science). reality can sometimes suck and be great ... at the same time. it's something that humans will never grasp, never. so when people create art, they feel disconnected, they feel closer to a place where it feels like ... energy. understand the people close to art see humans at a point of view like they them selves are art. living breathing art, crafted by God*. but next time you see and old jazz musician (shouldn't be hard in Detroit) sit and talk to him about his artistic adventures in the humanistic world. his eyes will tell tales of old not even epic tales by old Greek men can say.the aura of an old beaten up plaid jacket with a cheesy attempt of a buttoned up dress shirt. his posture will undoubtedly be centred around his instrument and judging by his age, he's been in couple of wars. his hands show sign of damage and carpal tunnel but he doesn't give a damn, he'll play the horn until he dies. he'll just say "jazz requires a sacrifice fool" with a 3 tooth grin he'll smile and jam your heart out of your chest. an artist like so will wow you to the point of spiritual submission. from looking at a world with situations to looking at a plane of existence that have no situations but pure emotion and energy. a world that fades from happy to sad in a second and will conform to make you feel it's feelings. reality and art conform to one another, without one, the other can't live. its beautiful because people need both a realistic life in which art and science co-exist. so take my advice find an aged artist and just converse with him. for it* knows more about reality then anyone because art showed him how to think.

king david in renesance art!
HELLO READERS!
To many, the expression of feelings have always been expressed through the worship of the arts.
-the products of human creativity; works of art collectively; "an art exhibition"; "a fine collection of art"
David, oh beloved David, He is depicted as a righteous, holy king—although not without fault—as well as an acclaimed warrior, musician and poet. the story of David and Goliath, an epic tale of heroism and faith. diligence toward man and god. with daring courage and faith, he stood against a mountain and screamed ... MOVE!
ah Michelangelo, look at his beauty, every detail to the "T". his body is perfect, the marble molds to his every crevasse and arroyo. he, as David, stands with glory; such realism, the artist is not just a sculptor but a genius in anatomy. the veins and the detail from his hair to his toes. ah, if only art was still this passionate. definitely one of my favorite pieces of David, not because of its popularity in art but its glory in how it is presented. mike make this statue of him to be looked on from above, to glorify his existence, he is king, he wrote psalms, and he is glorified through history as a blessed ruler and poet.
"i glorify you, King David."
john denyer
on to Donatello, look at the cocky bastard, amazing ... personified as an arrogant prick with the middle age vibe saying "i can kick any one's ass". the hat, the stance, the posture, wow ... i love the characterisation that went into this. Donnie didn't care about the character, like many fan fiction/directors/comic book writers he didn't give a shit about the original tail, he left the basics but put his twist on things. good job Donnie!
oh boy, look at this tool, Bernini did an AMAZING JOB on this. the form, the energy, and the total drive to the commitment to do god's work in David's eyes. wow ... definitely he did a great job, Berni loves to portray emotional faces in his art work and he defiantly did a bang-up job on this guy. not as detailed as mike but still, kudos to you, Berni.
hey hey hey, we gota a copy cat! The Biblical hero is depicted naked with the head of Goliath at his feet like Donnie's David, but with a turbaned head and sheathing his long sword. look at that tool ... honestly, i wanted this to be a mature post, but honestly whats with the small flaccid penis? these artists give David a great body, portray him as a bold, brave, holy guy but then don't give him the equipment to deliver. oh well... *TANGENT* not my favorite but decent job.
now onto Verrocchio's David, holy shit, he's got censorship! YES! the pope must of said something. =X ok ok ok ok, onto business ... it seems like everyone wants to add the cocky flavor to david ... well this guy would be the first to do it, his students included Leonardo da Vinci, Perugino, Ghirlandaio and Sandro Botticelli. so this prick wins ... i still like Donnie's more. =]
A PAINTING! WOOPIE!! yay! Caravaggio did it! =] ok, lets look at this masterpiece ... hmmm ... violent ... nice use of black to personify the action and the characters rather then the setting. hmmm good job. BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE!
this dude liked David so much, he did two ... you cheeky fucker! =]
well,lets talk about the dude now. King David reigned for many years in Israel from his capital, Jerusalem. The City of David remains to this day. and he is still one of the bibles greatest characters. come on he brought Israel into it's golden age. how do we repay his greatness, we put him into the bible, we paint his gloryies, and we tell his tale of greatness and heroism to the little ones as a bible story.
so all i have to say now about this guy, hey, read psalms and you'll know it all.
take a bow ... my king.

A PAINTING! WOOPIE!! yay! Caravaggio did it! =] ok, lets look at this masterpiece ... hmmm ... violent ... nice use of black to personify the action and the characters rather then the setting. hmmm good job. BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE!
this dude liked David so much, he did two ... you cheeky fucker! =]
well,lets talk about the dude now. King David reigned for many years in Israel from his capital, Jerusalem. The City of David remains to this day. and he is still one of the bibles greatest characters. come on he brought Israel into it's golden age. how do we repay his greatness, we put him into the bible, we paint his gloryies, and we tell his tale of greatness and heroism to the little ones as a bible story.
so all i have to say now about this guy, hey, read psalms and you'll know it all.
take a bow ... my king.

i'll be there
"I'll always be there. Always. It's not the powers. Not the cape. It's about standing up for justice. For truth. As long as people like you are out there, I'll be there. Always."
--Superman
this quote sings to me ... it lifts my heart, its like hearing Jesus Christ's sermon at the mount for the first time, its like eating your first hamburger, its as great as your ice cream from the ice cream man. Joy, this makes me feel like a child holding my superman action figure, while wearing my superman cape with a tomato soup stain on my white superman shirt. a quote by a fictional character made me feel this way, wow, simply amazing. but what the hell, sometimes superman installs more faith in humanity and justice, even the people then actual heroes do. ill listen to speeches from FDR, Gandhi, MLK Jr, ect and say wow that's amazing, but when a fictional character like superman floors me, this puts more faith in imagination then reality. it allows me to feel like i can fly, to which all i would need is a red cape, and to believe enough ... wow, if only superman were real ... if only, if only. because i know ... i know deep within my heart, (right next to Jesus and yes he is wearing a superman t-shirt) that he'll be there.
