I am on a massive music kick right now, just going through my favorites on an old YouTube channel and going "Damn, why haven't I listened to that recently?" or "Holy Shiznit! I forgot all about that song!" It makes me want to post a shit ton of songs for no real reason!!
However, I'll settle for posting them everyday (or as I can, whatever works right?). The videos may not be so good, but its the song that matters, not the video. Am I right? And maybe this will help kick start my writing? Possibly?
Maybe not, but we'll give it a go. Aside from driving Donnie crazy, it makes me happy. ^_^
On to today's song!! There were so many to choose from, but I settled for "Dear God," by XTC. XTC is a British New-Wave band active from the 70's up until 2005. Trent first introduced me to this song (being that he has some interesting musical tastes as well) back before I moved to live with Fawn (2008).
I hope you like it as much as I do. I truly feel a lot of the lyrics for this song, being in a constant state of turmoil regarding the religion I was raised in and the disbelief I feel towards religion as a whole today. I believe in a God. Or gods/goddesses. I do not necessarily believe in the God of the Christians. Having been involved in Christianity for most of my life I know a lot about the bible and the beliefs system, but none of it seems to match up with what we are supposed to be doing. What we are supposed to be.
I can't follow a God who just allows stuff to happen. Or even condones it. I am not a metal to be fired. I am a human being who breaks much more easily than a metal. And though He says we never go through more than we can handle, there is a lot that I can't handle and I have gone through it. I survived (in some cases, barely), but does that mean I CAN handle it?
I don't know. Its all a huge mystery to me. I am not a "believer" (or belieber for that matter) anymore, but in many ways I miss going to church and praying to God. Strange, I know. Oh well. On to the song, shall we?
Dear God - XTC

Mephistopheles, or something
Pomegranate introduced this song to me and it makes me giggle. So I thought I'd post it, seeing as how I've not done much else recently... I promise I'm still working on Chapter Seven of "All of Her", but it isn't as easy as one would think. I've got a lot going on in my head.

Mark Twain
After searching for a particular Mark Twain quote (see previous blog) I read through several more of his quotations and have discovered that Mark Twain was a genius. I knew that he was a wonderful writer (I loved "Tom Sawyer"), but had never really read some of the quotes he has. They are magnificent! He has such wit and intelligence, that indeed, I think he may be a god. It was like being a parched and dying man in the desert suddenly finding a wealth of water he hadn't noticed before. That is just how I feel now, as if I am suddenly full of fresh water that I had not known was in existence.
My solution to this? I'm going to borrow a bunch of Mark Twain books. And I'm going to post several quotes that I found by this remarkable and wonderful man, who had gone quite under-appreciated by me. I'm sorry Mark Twain, I owe you a cookie! Also, I'm thinking of making him a deity. We need a religion based on Mark Twain's words. We should call it Twainism!
"I would much prefer to suffer from the clean incision of an honest lancet than from a sweetened poison."
"A lie can travel half way around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes."
"Never tell the truth to people who are not worthy of it."
"In a good bookroom you feel in some mysterious way that you are absorbing the wisdom contained in all the books through your skin, without even opening them." (I agree completely!)
"But who prays for Satan? Who, in eighteen centuries, has had the common humanity to pray for the one sinner that needed it most?" (This is something I used to worry about as a child. I never understood why we weren't supposed to pray for Satan, when the Bible says that we should pray for our enemies. Not only that, but couldn't Satan be saved? He was an angel once? But then you get into the "unforgivable sin", which who even understands what that is?)
"Wrinkles should merely indicate where the smiles have been."
"You believe in a book that has talking animals, wizards, witches, demons, sticks turning into snakes, burning bushes, food falling from the sky, people walking on water, and all sorts of magical, absurd and primitive stories, and you say that we are the ones that need help?" (Funny thing, I know exactly where almost all these references are in the Bible)
"I did not attend his funeral, but I sent a nice letter saying I approved of it."
"Clothes make the man. Naked people have little or no influence on society."
"Get your facts first, and then you can distort them as much as you please."
"Sanity and happiness are an impossible combination."
"Never allow someone to be your priority while allowing yourself to be their option."
"Life is short, Break the Rules.
Forgive quickly, Kiss SLOWLY.
Love truly. Laugh uncontrollably
And never regret ANYTHING
That makes you smile." (did not know that Mark Twain said this, but I have always appreciated this bit of wisdom.)
"A banker is a fellow who lends you his umbrella when the sun is shining, but wants it back the minute it begins to rain."
"Sometimes I wonder whether the world is being run by smart people who are putting us on or by imbeciles who really mean it."
"I haven't any right to criticize books, and I don't do it except when I hate them. I often want to criticize Jane Austen, but her books madden me so that I can't conceal my frenzy from the reader; and therefore I have to stop every time I begin. Every time I read Pride and Prejudice I want to dig her up and beat her over the skull with her own shin-bone. -Letter to Joseph Twichell, 9/13/1898" (I'm not entirely sure why Mr. Twain didn't like Jane Austen, but he didn't like her much because he talks about her a lot!)
"History doesn't repeat itself, but it does rhyme."
"I do not fear death. I had been dead for billions and billions of years before I was born, and had not suffered the slightest inconvenience from it."
"Kindness is a language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see."
"The most interesting information come from children, for they tell all they know and then stop."
"When angry, count four. When very angry, swear."
"I didn't have time to write a short letter, so I wrote a long one instead."
"Forgiveness is the fragrance that the violet sheds on the heel that has crushed it."
"If animals could speak, the dog would be a blundering outspoken fellow; but the cat would have the rare grace of never saying a word too much." (Have to love a man that appreciates cats!)
"When we remember we are all mad, the mysteries disappear and life stands explained."
"Out of all the things I have lost, I miss my mind the most."
"Denial is much more then an Egyptian River."
"While the rest of the species is descended from apes, redheads are descended from cats."
"We are all stupid, just on different subjects"
"It is curious that physical courage should be so common in the world and moral courage so rare."
"There are many humorous things in the world; among them, the white man's notion that he less savage than the other savages."
"There was never yet an uninteresting life. Such a thing is an impossibility. Inside of the dullest exterior there is a drama, a comedy, and a tragedy."
"Why waste your money looking up your family tree? Just go into politics and your opponent will do it for you." (I'm thinking about all this stupidity over Obama's birth certificate!)
"If we were supposed to talk more than listen we would have been given two mouths and one ear."
"[The Bible] has noble poetry in it... and some good morals and a wealth of obscenity, and upwards of a thousand lies."
"There is a charm about the forbidden that makes it unspeakably desirable."
"My books are water; those of the great geniuses are wine.(Fortunately) Everybody drinks water."
"Anger is an acid that can do more harm to the vessel in which it is stored than to anything on which it is poured."
"Action speaks louder than words but not nearly as often."
"The right word may be effective, but no word was ever as effective as a rightly timed pause."
"We need not worry so much about what man descends from; it's what he descends to that shames the human race." (All the ridiculous people who run their mouths about things they don't even know or understand, I am looking at you right now!)
"I thoroughly disapprove of duels. If a man should challenge me, I would take him kindly and forgivingly by the hand and lead him to a quiet place and kill him."
"Golf is a good walk spoiled." (Sorry to everyone that actually enjoys golfing!)
"Last week I stated that this woman was the ugliest woman I had ever seen. I have since been visited by her sister and now wish to withdraw that statement."
"Let us live so that when we come to die even the undertaker will be sorry."
"The Rumors of my Death Have Been Greatly Exaggerated."
"If Christ were here now there is one thing he would not be – a Christian." (Very true!)
"Unconsciously we all have a standard by which we measure other men, and if we examine closely we find that this standard is a very simple one, and is this: we admire them, we envy them, for great qualities we ourselves lack. Hero worship consists in just that. Our heroes are men who do things which we recognize, with regret, and sometimes with a secret shame, that we cannot do. We find not much in ourselves to admire, we are always privately wanting to be like somebody else. If everybody was satisfied with himself, there would be no heroes."
"Eat a live frog first thing in the morning and nothing worse will happen to you the rest of the day." (YUCK!)
"Love is an irresistible desire to be irresistibly desired."
"We may not pay Satan reverence, for that would be indiscreet, but we can at least respect his talents."
"Why do you sit there looking like an envelope without any address on it?"
"Don't wake up a woman in love. Let her dream, so that she does not weep when she returns to her bitter reality"
"I know the look of an apple that is roasting and sizzling on the hearth on a winter's evening, and I know the comfort that comes of eating it hot, along with some sugar and a drench of cream... I know how the nuts taken in conjunction with winter apples, cider, and doughnuts, make old people's tales and old jokes sound fresh and crisp and enchanting."
"A half-truth is the most cowardly of lies."
"The radical of one century is the conservative of the next. The radical invents the views. When he has worn them out, the conservative adopt."
"Peace by persuasion has a pleasant sound, but I think we should not be able to work it. We should have to tame the human race first, and history seems to show that that cannot be done."

Random Thoughts (When I Should be Sleeping!)
Who doesn't love it when Satan and Jesus have a dance off?
I'm thinking Starbucks.
The newest video from BIGBANG is so HOT! Of course, I'm not sure what the hell is going on with G-Dragon's outfits... they are kind of Weird O.o
I am pretty sure that my soul can be described in Cello. ^_^
My bucket list is too fanciful, but what can you do?
I should've gone to bed two hours ago.
"And I know its wrong, and I know its right..." Apocalyptica feat. Doug Robb.
Who knew I could kind of miss Twitter when it doesn't work properly?
I am really enjoying "Les Liaisons Dangereuses" by Pierre Choderlos de Laclos, I just wish I had more time to read it.
420 is tomorrow.
The last bit of my Subway soda tasted like the cup. Ick.
Josh Groban is going to guest host Live with Regis and Kelly on the 22nd. I have to work that day. Is it worth it to get up early and watch it?
I am pretty sure I've lost my ever-loving mind.
"And God, are you even there?" Ferras.
Dear Customers, is it really that hard to put an item back where you found it? Really? And if you aren't going to put it back in the right place could you at least make the effort to put it somewhere that it might belong? I know I'd appreciate it!
Also, Dear Customers, how hard is it to pick something up that you dropped on the floor? Believe it or not I don't get paid enough to put up with all your bullshit. Just sayin'.
"I should warn her that you'll never do her right. All your games, all your lies, I need to tell her, maybe I can change her mind." Fefe Dobson.
It is REALLY awkward when you run into someone that you know is having an affair with someone you just recently met and they are with their wife and two kids... I just kept wanting to tell his wife. Only I didn't know her from Eve and that might be weird.
I was SO drunk on Friday night that when I fell to the ground (trying to pick up a quarter) L.E.D and Kid rolled me down the parking lot instead of helping me up. That was kind of fun. Also, Electric Lemonade rocks. Especially if you chug it. Through a straw. >.>
I think Kati Wolf (the lady who sang "What about my Dreams" that I posted) sounds and looks a lot like a blond Celine Dion. Just sayin'.
I hate it when something tells me that I have qualified for a whole bunch of money (a Wal-Mart gift card) and then tells me to get it I have to sign up for stuff that I can't afford!! So aggravating and really depressing, because we could use a $1,000 gift card to Wal-Mart. We would be set for groceries and I could get some new clothes. I hate internet scams.
"Take my soul, take my heart back." BIGBANG.
So many wishes, too little time...
I really do want Starbucks.
"Can't take me, I'm free." Bryan McAdams.
I'm really depressed because I am worried about what we are going to do if Donnie doesn't get a job soon. We don't have a lot of money, my job is so financially unsteady right now and we need food, new clothes, a car, etc. When I was little I dreamt of growing up, being my own woman doing my own thing. Being an adult was all I wanted to be. I was already mature, I already had a bunch of adult responsibilities. But now all I think about is what an idiot I was for ever wishing this on myself.
I have a new friend, Z, at work. He is adorable. Love, love, love this kid. Great sense of humor, wonderful attitude and such a sweet laugh!
Why do I care?
I dreamt the other night that my father, who is in prison somewhere, had a Facebook and I found him on there. It was weird, because I'm pretty sure he doesn't have access to the internet.
If Shakespeare had a Twitter, I would follow him. Does nobody wish Shakespeare had a Twitter besides me?
And does anyone think it weird that the Dalai Lama has a Twitter?! Really?!
When the Zombie apocalypse arrives I think I'm going to serve the Brain pudding and the Electric lemonades after the surrender of Mankind. That seems reasonable. I wonder what kind of brain pudding the Zombie ambassador would like?
Ooo, I'm going to post a neat picture of myself now!
"I'm a talkin' red hamster, I'm a talkin'... VAGINAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" as sung by Kid. We laughed until we cried, we cried until we laughed and I may have actually rolled on the floor laughing. Just sayin'.

For Sale
For Sale: One soul. Decent condition. Has some severe fabric tears from trauma and various other reasons. Almost like new, needs a bit of a tune up. Will fall in love with anyone.
Sold: One soul. To the Devil.
Why you may ask?
I got a Twitter. After two years of holding out and laughing at the stupidity of Twitter, I got one. Which is ridiculous, I know. But curiosity has often been said to kill the proverbial cat. So consider my soul sold and we won't go into my cat.
For those of you who have a Twitter you can follow me @wicked_roses. Insane, I know, but if nothing else I can always delete it later and blog about how stupid it is. There is an upside to ever downside!

World Religion
I was thinking yesterday that I really wanted to try different world religions, just because I think it would be interesting and I feel like I would learn a lot.
I thought I might start off with Catholicism, because it is closest to what I already know, having been a Non-Denominational/Protestant Christian for a long time. I also thought it might be interesting to try to follow the various rules of that religion for a year. I could write blogs about my year as a Catholic, or my year as a Muslim, or my year as a Buddhist. Doesn't that sound interesting?
Of course it is all an effort to learn more about religion in general and to find out more about myself. For example, what do I believe? What do I disbelieve? All in the name of learning and exploration.
Even though I think I would like to follow one religion for a year, I think that might be too difficult to do, depending on the strictness of the religion. For example, if I was to decide to be Muslim (or Hindi) for a year, I would want to follow the strict dress code, as well as the dietary rules and so on.
I'd have to really prepare for those changes and not go into this half-cocked. Shooting from the hip just sounds like a bad idea when it comes to religion.
I think the only "religion" I couldn't do would be Scientology. I apologize to any Scientologists who may stumble across this blog, but I just can't believe in aliens or L. Ron Hubbard, for that matter. Just not something I think I could do for a year. A week, maybe, before I laughed myself to death.
All for now, I'm going to ponder this a little more and see what happens!
