the End

Naked subject, undertones.
world on stone is overgrown.
Darkness, dusk it calls on night
Passion, fragrance. the scents of life.
some boy said sadness, a main stayed life.
Workmanship of wonders, confessions
silent, slowly singing.
Is a world now on fire.
is walking and running.
is shameless, is walk on the line...

Someone he say subject,
someone she say "NO!"
someone he beg mercy
Someone she beg don't

And the ball it be turning
no stopping it now
is not for confession
mentioned that twice now I know

is time for the slowly
is chance now for the pride go sleep and
is time stop

Is time now for the time

Will desire find mercy?
Will the flames






no there's no time left to hesitate
Means have come to the ends

Lifes now confusion

All been loved or hated now combined
the pattern wheel broken
chink of chain broken, nothing left

no pattern in this now


no resgress, no excuse


find fortunate reprisal or find yourself

"I prayed to God for nothing more, I prayed for nothing less"

it's the End!

Ohio man charged with drunken driving on bar stool

Drunk man charged for driving a bar stool?
I must be confused????

Next story is report on a sober lady at an A.A. meeting...

AP – In this photo released Tuesday, March 31, 2009, by the Newark (Ohio) Police Department, a motorized bar …

Tue Mar 31, 5:10 pm ET

NEWARK, Ohio – Authorities in Ohio say a man has been charged with drunken driving after crashing his motorized bar stool. Police in Newark, 30 miles east of Columbus, say when they responded to a report of a crash with injuries on March 4, they found a man who had wrecked a bar stool powered by a deconstructed lawn mower.

Twenty-eight-year Kile Wygle was hospitalized for minor injuries. Police say he was charged with operating a vehicle while intoxicated after he told an officer at the hospital that he had consumed 15 beers. Wygle told police his motorized bar stool can go up to 38 mph.

Wygle has pleaded not guilty and has requested a jury trial.

Steve Winwood & Traffic

Stephen Lawrence "Steve" Winwood (born 12 May 1948 in Handsworth, Birmingham) is an English singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. In addition to his solo career, he was a member of the bands the Spencer Davis Group, Traffic, Blind Faith, and Go. His deep singing voice is frequently mistaken to be that of a black musician.^[1]

Early life

He was born in Handsworth, a suburb of the British city of Birmingham. He first became interested in swing and Dixieland jazz. He began playing drums, guitar, and piano as a child, and first performed with his father and older brother Muff in the Ron Atkinson Band at the age of eight.^[2]

Career

Early years: 1960s

While still a pupil at Great Barr School^[3] (which actor Martin Shaw also attended), Winwood was a part of the Birmingham rhythm and blues scene, playing the Hammond B-3 Organ and guitar, backing blues singers such as Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker, T-Bone Walker, Howlin' Wolf, B. B. King, Sonny Boy Williamson II, Eddie Boyd, Otis Spann, Chuck Berry and Bo Diddley on their United Kingdom tours (the custom at that time being for US singers to travel solo and be backed by 'pick-up' bands). At this time Steve was living in Atlantic Avenue in Great Barr close to all the Birmingham music halls he used to play.

At the age of 15 Winwood became a member of the Spencer Davis Group^[4] with his older brother 'Muff' (who later had much success as a record producer). Steve co-wrote and recorded Gimme Some Lovin' and I'm a Man before leaving to form Traffic with Chris Wood, Jim Capaldi and Dave Mason. During this time, Winwood joined forces with guitarist Eric Clapton as part of the one-off group Eric Clapton's Powerhouse. Songs were recorded for the Elektra label but only three tracks were released on the compilation album, What's Shakin'.

During the late-1960s, Winwood and Mason became close friends of Jimi Hendrix. Hendrix first heard All Along the Watchtower at a party he was invited to by Mason; they recorded the Hendrix version later that night in a London recording studio. Winwood actually only appeared on one track of Electric Ladyland, "Voodoo Chile". In 1969, Winwood once again gave a powerful organ performance on Joe Cocker's With a Little Help from My Friends ,which was originally written by the Beatles for the Sgt. Pepper album, and later played keyboards on albums as diverse as Toots & the Maytals' Reggae Got Soul and Howlin' Wolf's The London Howlin' Wolf Sessions.

That was snagged from Wiki's site [here], The version I heard was just a little different. I heard that even as a young child he could play almost any instrament (including bed springs), along with almost any tune after only listening to it once or twice.

Doesn't really matter to me tho because I learned a long time ago radio jocks are full of shit and half of what they tell you is a load of crap, other half is rumour.

Steve Winwood is still one of the all time greats and my favorite Album from him would be The Oz Benifit Concert Jam Session called "Welcome To The Canteen"

Mister Alvin Lee is one of the greatest in the World!
Photography lesson: You can't see him play because he plays faster than camera shutter speed can record (with 100% accuracy).

"Alvin Lee (born Graham Barnes, 19 December 1944, Mansfield, England) is an English rock guitarist and singer. He began playing guitar at the age of 13, and with Leo Lyons formed the core of the band Ten Years After in 1960. Influenced by his parents' collection of jazz and blues records, it was the advent of rock and roll that truly sparked his interest and creativity, and guitarists like Chuck Berry and Scotty Moore provided his inspiration."

Two men praised after catching falling baby in Lawrence

Two men were praised as heroes today after they caught an 18-month-old baby girl who plummeted at least 30 feet from the window of a triple-decker apartment building in Lawrence.

Alex Day, 23, of Lawrence joined Robert Lemire, 45, of Methuen in catching the baby as she hurtled towards the earth Sunday night.

"She looked at me and had a weird look on her face as if to say, 'Wow, all of a sudden I'm down here,' " Day recalled in an interview today. He said he rushed the baby back upstairs to her home. On the stairs, he said, the baby actually started chuckling.

Lemire said he was walking down Haverhill Street at about 6:30 p.m. Sunday, talking to a friend on his cellphone about softball practice, when he saw some toys falling out of the window of a three-decker.

"Next thing you know, I hear a baby cry, so I automatically looked there and there was a baby hanging out the window," he said. "So I pretty much bolted across the street."

Lemire opened the door of the house on Haverhill Street, yelled for help, then returned underneath the window and tried to call 911. Day, who had been in a Bible study session on the first floor, joined him and Lemire soon warned him, "Here she comes."

The baby fell through the air and when she landed, "he pretty much got the top and I got the diaper end, or the bottom half, or whatever you call it," Lemire said.

Lemire, a home remodeling contractor who is married with two children, 13 and 16, said, "I was nervous as heck, thinking of my own kids."

Day, a trucking manager, said it was fortunate that he had started going back to the gym so he could help catch the baby, who weighed about 30 pounds.

He saw divine intervention at work in the baby's rescue. "Yeah, I think God had a lot to do with this," said Day. "Definitely, by God."

Caliah Clark was taken to a hospital. but is expected to be OK. The two rescuers were "real heroes," Police Chief John Romero said. The Department of Social Services was notified and was expected to investigate.

The child's father, Randall Clark, said he was watching a 2-month-old baby in another room when the incident occurred, Romero said.

Romero said there was no child guard on the window.

"There are a number of things we are doing to investigate on our end," he said. "At this point, we are investigating to determine what led up to this incident."

Officials said the baby had fallen 40 feet, but Lemire said that was incorrect.

The fall was 28 feet, perhaps 30, he said. "Like I said, I'm a remodeling contractor so I'm pretty good at the heights."

"I didn't know if it was a boy or a girl. I was just happy we were lucky enough to catch her," he said.

Globe correspondent Michele Richinick contributed to this report.

Interested in toys?

The Quick 10: How 10 Classic Toys Were Invented
by Stacy Conradt

1. Lincoln Logs were invented by John Lloyd Wright, Frank Lloyd Wright’s son. The original instructions included a how to construct a replica of Abraham Lincoln’s cabin, but also how to construct Uncle Tom’s cabin.
2. Tinkertoys were invented after a stonemason saw kids being totally entertained by building things with pencils and spools of thread.
3. Hula Hoops have been around forever in various formats, but the “official” Wham-O toy was invented in 1958. The inventors promoted it by going around to various playgrounds and parks giving children samples and showing them how to use it. Something tells me two random men showing up in a park handing out toys wouldn’t go over that well today…

4. Sea Monkeys are real (and that’s what they look like). I always thought they were a scam because I never once saw living Sea Monkeys swimming around in their little plastic home. Not once. They were “invented” in 1957 by Harold von Braunhut, the guy who invented X-Ray specs. They’re really brine shrimp and are ideal for packaging as a toy because they enter a natural state of suspended animation in certain (shippable) environments. When kids release the “monkeys” into the prepared water, they “hatch.” The reason they’re so active (supposedly… I’m still bitter that mine never worked) is because one of the packets you dump into the aquarium contains a type of salt that increases the sexual activity of the little critters. Yep. Think about that the next time your kid is fascinated by Sea Monkeys.

5. Play-Doh was first sold as a wallpaper cleaner. How’s that for weird? You rolled it on the walls to remove coal dust.

6. Troll dolls were created in 1949 by a Danish fisherman who needed a cheap Christmas gift for his daughter because he couldn’t afford to buy anything. He used sheep’s wool for the hair. Thomas Dam’s dolls caught on; thus the original dolls were called Dam Dolls. I got in on the whole troll craze in the early ‘90s; I think they still reside somewhere in my parents’ basement. I remember some of their names… I believe Dud the Surfer was my favorite. That’s not a typo: Dud. Not Dude. He had his own theme song. I’m not entirely sure why I’m sharing this.

7. Slinky was invented by Naval engineer Richard James. He knocked a spring off of a shelf when he was working to develop springs that could keep ship instruments stable in choppy waters. The spring did what a Slinky does… it stepped down to a stack of books, then to the table, and then to the floor, where it righted itself into a cylinder. James knew it would be a great toy, and tests by neighborhood kids proved him right.
8. LEGO blocks were invented by Ole Kirk Christiansen, a master carpenter who lived in Denmark. The word comes from the Danish words LEg and GOdt, which together means “play well.” They later discovered that in Latin, Lego means “I put together.”

9. Raggedy Ann and Andy were created by writer and illustrator Johnny Gruelle. Ann was created as a doll in 1915 for Gruelle’s daughter – he reportedly named the doll after two books poems from a James Whitcomb Riley book – “The Raggedy Man” and “Little Orphan Annie.” Ann inspired Gruelle to write stories about her adventures, and in 1918, Raggedy Ann Stories was released. Her brother, Andy, showed up in 1920. I had a Raggedy Ann doll and she scared the crap out of me. Most dolls did. I had a porcelain doll once and I accidentally broke her arm, and I was convinced that she was going to kill me in the middle of the night for breaking her, so I kept her shut in the closet. To this day I have to have the closet doors closed when I sleep. Have I ever mentioned that my first horror movie was Dolls and I was in third grade? Let the psychoanalysis begin!

10. Sock Monkeys. The sock monkeys that we have come to know and love today – the ones made with Red-Heel socks – are thought to have come about in 1932. The distinctive red heel was given to the socks so customers would know they were getting authentic Rockford socks. When the Nelson Knitting Company discovered that their socks were being used across the country in this arts-and-crafts movement, they won the design patent for the sock monkey pattern and started including it in the packaging of their socks.

As you can see by my rants about Sea Monkeys and Raggedy Ann, these toys definitely dredge up memories (why are both of mine bad?). Share yours in the comments! Maybe we’ll do a follow up… I was itching to throw in Cabbage Patch dolls

and Pound Puppies, but I was trying to keep the list more traditional.

Nezt time asshole!

11,000 arms, a naked soldier
two knives one in each hand
40,000 headmen
a fire in a pit
death be below
salvation above
three stones
one for your eye
11 sanctioned sisters
one will be my wife
mans laughter is manslaughter
nezt time spell it right
find fusion or con-fusion
find a prayer, I bet you'll wish you had
naught is word for wisdom
wisdom is a mouth kept shut
frailty is reality
burden a debt left yet un-paid
sorrow a lack of reasoning
I'm just another Fucking lie!
sudden sadness is a spark of being
reality is what it is
death is a sacrifice, everything dies right in it's space
dogs piss on everything they love
windows that open also close
nothing lasts forever but everything lasted once
some child will sing before I'm done
another will sing no more
points of blank are on a map
closer points will need no map
it's found inside yerself I say to you
or if not then it is not!

My Son

Hey! I didn't cry for your mother.
too busy crying for you my son.
But I did love your mother
just that you came first
I'd stop crying for you my son but
I'm the only parent left that can.
My roughest stone and finest jewel
you wore me in. In your eye I saw the light.
I cry right now writing this.
When I'm done I'll cry for you too Suzanne.
I loved you both so much
I Love you both so much...

More to write but choked in tear. my wrist is ice
I miss you so much. I hope you know I loved both of you.

Please God bless us all? Please?

Is it strange that I listen to so many different kinds of music?

Friends think it's weird but truth is I don't hear well.
I really only listen to the part of the music I can hear.
I don't know what I don't hear, except I know vocals I don't hear very well.
For me there are only two kinds of music. Good music and bad music, Songs I like too but the song is just a layer placed over the music.

Peace,,,
