2003-10-29 08:44:40 ET yodelling a lonely cowboy tune I mounted my steed and headed home Here it comes again that wanderlust for life on the lam For an escape and excitement surprise and serendipity openness on the open road for awhile I want to ride this misty mountain trail just to see where it leads just to leave and live a life afar away from this rainy, draining valley the land of opportunity ain't showing it to me or maybe I'm not looking or maybe I'm not where they are or maybe I must make my own or maybe I can't see them or maybe I'm deluding myself or maybe if I keep writing, one will show... maybe it's time to tie my laces and saddle the Sable and hit the Road up up and away.

2003-10-29 08:41:47 ET yodelling a lonely cowboy song I mounted my steed and headed home Take me with you she said to me and I think we both knew it couldn't be so driving cross this misty mountain trail I wrote these words upon my brain Someday I will come to rescue you someday it'll be allright for now we'll par our separate ways and spend another lonely night I want to be your hero to ride off with you or to swing in and carry you away like a real swash-buck-aroo I want to write you a poem that says all the words you need and not use my writings to manipulate or deceive I want you to give up and climb in my car surrendering your sanity your life as it is so far When the day comes and I'm outside your door I hope you'll know just what I came here for.

737/Shoe Glue

2003-10-24 17:18:24 ET Down the street, around the corner, over the bridge, that dirty water, College campus, mighty minds A reactor right behind Passed the candy factory, Salvation Army, fire station Through the square, I hate that place Up the stairs Next the doors, they never work I never let that bother me I hope some worker's not disgruntled I hope there's something there for me An old man reads the paper loudly everyday now for a year Stamp machines and wanted posters here again, again I'm here 737 almost everyday Nice to know that someone hears us It's good to know somebody's there Takin the time to say hello Taking the time to show you care Write again and thanks again From the bottom of my heart See you soon and till then 737 is a real big part 737 almost everyday Shoe glue What can I do? A man's not well dressed if his shoes are a mess Rock and Roll I've got a hole Right in my sole Let's rock! It's fucking my walk And soaking my sock Who knew? It's not stopping my step or stepping my stop We've got it up and we won't let it drop Beer here, Don't wanna see clear I see a point in wrecking the joint We're here to quench our thirst a bit But we won't get the worst of it Turn it up more than a notch Like a punch to the face or a kick to the crotch All night never ending benefiting from a bender If nothing's worrying you that's the key 'cause nothing's worrying me And nothing's worrying me Dicky Barrett

Relativism is Blacklisted!

2003-10-19 17:36:51 ET CManley42: so what's in the plans for this week/ CManley42: (sorry I'm having trouble with those question marks) Angel30134: hehe Angel30134: np Angel30134: well i'm going to see Bowling for Columbine tomorrow and partake in a discussion about it. I've never seen it, so it should be interesting CManley42: yeah, I didn't see either. heard good things though. Angel30134: tuesday I have a college democrats meeting, wednesday I'm watching a movie about the judicial nomination and how it can effect women's rights like roe v. wade Angel30134: and I work about everyday at the library for a few hours CManley42: :-\ Angel30134: sore subject? CManley42: not really, I just don't agree with Roe v Wade. Angel30134: to each their own CManley42: That's another thing I disagree with, but we won't start down that road. Angel30134: what is? CManley42: Relativism. Angel30134: ok CManley42: yep. soooo.... anyway.... Angel30134: what, you don't agree that each person can have their own individual opinions and views? CManley42: no, I believe that, but I don't believe that everyone's own individual opinions and views are right for them. Angel30134: why? Angel30134: I'm curious, not trying to pick a fight CManley42: because there have to be ultimate truths. CManley42: if there's not, there's not purpose to life. Angel30134: well then wouldn't each person find out these ultimate truths anyway? Angel30134: mistakes, experience CManley42: possibly. But relativism states that each person can create their own truth, and their own world view, and that we have no place to say who's right and who's wrong. Angel30134: each person is their own universe. Each person is going to have their own view, there's no way around it. And who cares what other ppl think about one individual's world view? Whether is it right or wrong doesn't matter. It just is. The only right and wrong one should care about is their own universe. Angel30134: in my opinion CManley42: *clears throat* then the 9/11 hijackers were right to do what they did? Angel30134: in their minds CManley42: but you think they were wrong/ Angel30134: they weren't in the name of morality Angel30134: of course CManley42: *clears throat again* there is no morality. CManley42: because there are no morals CManley42: because there are no absolutes CManley42: because everyone holds their own truths. CManley42: thus, you can't say they were wrong. Angel30134: I can say that I think they are wrong CManley42: but what you say makes no difference, so why bother? Angel30134: it's just expressing my own opinion Angel30134: ppl do that you know Angel30134: it's not going to save the world Angel30134: I know CManley42: yeah, but see, that's where relativism fails as a philosophy - philosophies are supposed to give you direction in life. relativism is a lack of direction. if everyone lives in their own little world, then we (as a people) are never going to get anything done. Now, the relativist won't care about this, mainly because he believes that there are no truths, thus nothing to strive for. But anyone else would say that's a foolish way to live, because there has to be a meaning to all this, or else why not just shoot yourself now and get it over with? Angel30134: personally, I see relativism as a way of not judging other views. to each their own...you can think whatever you want, why should I argue CManley42: *ponders* I don't think you truly understand, then, because relativism strictly states that you cannot judge another. and the reason you should argue is... CManley42: because if everyone sat back and said, "well Hitler killed 6million Jews, but we can't say he was wrong because what good would it do" where would we be? Angel30134: why attack relativism and pull up stuff like that Angel30134: ? Angel30134: who cares Angel30134: just do your own thing CManley42: because you have to pull out the big guns to make your point. and I agree with petty things like what music you like or who you'll date or whether smoking dope is right or wrong, yeah you can probably make your own decision and who am I to judge? but when it comes to murder (of a born or unborn nature) that's a little different.
