And they get crazy again

One of these days I will learn not to open my mouth like that.

Now that things are.. well not calm... settled maybe I'll get back to this in the mean time your more likely to find content over at Live Journal.

Into the new year

Well after spending the last week in bed with the flu. I have had plenty of time to give thought to things like this blog.

Hey things like school work and life altering decisions all got dealt with on the first day.

I'm not going to close up shop here just yet, Nor do I have any interest in leaving it up here collecting virtual dust on this highway system. I think that what I'm going to do is try to put at least one blog entry up a week, not a little one liner thing either but some thing with at least a couple hundred words in it.

Well thats the idea at least but than I've said this before. It never really happens that way, come on we all know what I'm like,

Oh bread machine....

I get distracted easily. Of course it didn't help that for a while I had what 6 of these things that I was trying to update around full time school and work. I figure if I can't manage my time well enough to do this when I'm down to just working and my interests that I'm pretty much screwed.

Oh ya. About the fl, that happened to be one of the things I seem to have been given for the holidays. Oh well about due it's only been about 6 months sine I was sick.

stupid work

I ended up coming in on Friday night for nothing. I was told in the morning that they were going to be running the line that night and I had to be there. I came in and there were people on the overnight shift here. Fine than the evening shift left and I realized that no the line wasn't running and it was only a couple of guys here.

I ended up getting a ride back to the metro. Driving down the highway with a 50ish guy from India at 160 with techno dance music playing at deafening while he's complaining about the crap stereo that came with the car and the fact that he has problems driving standard in Canada almost made up for the wasted trip in.

Almost.

Where's the snow?

Ok, look I'm sorrybut someone has to say it.

There's candycane ice cream in the stores, There should be snow on the ground by now!

YES!

One step closer to getting *Radio Edit* out of this provence.

It's been a good day....even with 9.5 hours of work.

Spiral round

It's funny really, How much we circle round back to our beginnings, When I started this blog 2 years ago I was in much the same situation, as I find my self now. AT the end of one thing and the beginning of something new.

Of Course that part of the reason that I don't like that expression. Because it's never truly the same. Not exactly. We change and grow sometimes for the better, sometimes not. So a better term I think is spiraling.

I don't think that I'll be closing this blog, but it will definitely have to change, Because I have and like I said back in the very first post. The name says it all:

Brass - Fire, Energy,Will
Ghost - The past and it's products

Approprite for the weekend

"The Green Fields Of France"

[Originally by Eric Bogle]

oh how do you do, young willy mcbride
do you mind if i sit here down by your graveside
and rest for a while in the warm summer sun
i've been walking all day, and im nearly done
and i see by your gravestone you were only nineteen
when you joined the great fallen in 1916
well i hope you died quick
and i hope you died clean
oh willy mcbride, was is it slow and obscene

[Chorus]
did they beat the drums slowly
did they play the fife lowly
did they sound the death march as they lowered you down
did the band play the last post and chorus
did the pipes play the flowers of the forest

and did you leave a wife or a sweetheart behind
in some loyal heart is your memory enshrined
and though you died back in 1916
to that loyal heart you're forever nineteen
or are you a stranger without even a name
forever enshrined behind some old glass pane
in an old photograph torn, tattered, and stained
and faded to yellow in a brown leather frame

[Chorus]
did they beat the drums slowly
did they play the fife lowly
did they sound the death march as they lowered you down
did the band play the last post and chorus
did the pipes play the flowers of the forest

the sun shining down on these green fields of france
the warm wind blows gently and the red poppies dance
the trenches have vanished long under the plow
no gas, no barbed wire, no guns firing now
but here in this graveyard that's still no mans land
the countless white crosses in mute witness stand
till' man's blind indifference to his fellow man
and a whole generation were butchered and damned

[Chorus]
did they beat the drums slowly
did they play the fife lowly
did they sound the death march as they lowered you down
did the band play the last post and chorus
did the pipes play the flowers of the forest

and i can't help but wonder oh willy mcbride
do all those who lie here know why they died
did you really believe them when they told you the cause
did you really believe that this war would end wars
well the suffering, the sorrow, the glory, the shame
the killing and dying it was all done in vain
oh willy mcbride it all happened again
and again, and again, and again, and again

[Chorus]
did they beat the drums slowly
did they play the fife lowly
did they sound the death march as they lowered you down
did the band play the last post and chorus
did the pipes play the flowers of the forest

"Heroes From Our Past"

DROPKICK MURPHYS

And so the story's told of a hearty group of men it's a tale of their triumphs and their woes.
Be it raids and melees ancient or the modern worker's struggle
that inspires men to stand up for their rights.
And should we fall down by the wayside in this ever-changing world
we can look back to these heroes of our past.
With their staunch determination and ferocious iron will,
no tyranny would quell them in their task.

It's an age-old situation with an ever-present message:
that time and tide waiteth for no man.
So without fear of confrontation of the consequence of outcome,
it's for freedom and for happiness they toiled.
An in looking to the future,
we can see a better place where we can shake the yoke of tyranny for all.
It's been paved by generations who have gone now to their rest.
It's just remembrance of their dignity we ask.

[Chorus:]
So come on rally round this brave and valiant cause with tradition, pride, and honor at its core.
With swords drawn to defend stood these noble-hearted men fág an bealach,
clear the way, me boys!!

Under perilous conditions with small hope of success they left behind the lives that they once led
and by virtue of their fortitude and single-minded strength
they cleared the way for the people of today
so when we think back to our ancestors respectfully we hark
and thank the men whose struggle broke the chain it's a long road up ahead of us
let's forge on while we're strong and leave our mark of honor once again

So the story has been told and it comes now to an end.
It's setting any era, any land.
When abusive tyrants force the hands of matters great or small,
it inpires men to stand up for their rights.

On the other hand I like the libery selection here, so waiting ani't so bad

Now if I could only remeber which is the first Fu Manchu Novel......

Anyone?
