It can't be done

Some people have been left with the impression that I can't write a song, while I still think I'm not that good at it, I'm going to still show you the one I've written yesterday.


You said it can't be done!

Verse 1
Through time, many wars have been fought.
With no peace, Anyone looking for hope,
Only hate will win, is what they're taught.

We all want to break out,
All eager for a chance to get away
But as they fight and shout
it's hopeless, that's all you say.

Chorus
You said it can't be done!
(As these streets are calming)
You said it can't be done!
(As the mobs are disarming)
You said it can't be done!
(They're helping not harming)
And you said it can't be done!

Verse 2
Death is inevitable, the grave is calling.
The fragile path we walk, eternal not an option,
We all grow old, and the young are falling.

We still can rise above,
though we're doomed at the start.
The Holy Son shows us love,
But we must give him our heart.

Chorus
You said it can't be done!
(He rose up from the grave)
You said it can't be done!
(While we rant and rave)
You said it can't be done!
(eternity, it's what he gave)
And you said it can't be done!

Bridge
We ain't gonna win any awards
For not showing any faith
We ain't gonna get win a prize
For spreading the hopeless lies!

and while this clock is ticking,
o ye of little faith
and while you fall for tricking
I won't sit and wait!

Chorus
I say it can be done!
(The walls are falling)
I say it can be done!
(he is there, willing)
I say it can be done!
(To keep us from dying)
And you said it can't be done!

You said it can't be done!
(give it up, you're wrong)
You said it can't be done!
(You'll know before long)
You said it can't be done!
(just how much you're wrong)
While you said it can't be done!

End
And while you scream, saying:
It Can't be done!
He's on his throne, saying:
It Will be done.

You people aren't commenting on my blog!

I'm finding it annoying that the more posts a put up, the fewer comments I get, but despite this behaiviour, I will still put up my NFL picks for this week.

My NFL picks for the week are

49ers vs Cheifs: Cheifs W
Lions vs Vikings: Lions L
Bills vs Patriots: Patriots W
Falcons vs Saints: Saints L
Titans vs Giants: Titans W

Last week I went dead even at 8-8, meaning my score has dropped to a terrible: 19 - 12
Unless I go nearly perfect for the rest of the season, I'm definitely not gonna do better than The pros.

Facebook's real nemesis

Ok, I would like to say, my first attempt at the social media world was Twitter. I liked that it gave me away to update the world on what I was up to without writing a huge blog post, but it was very limited, and eventually I got frustrated and left it behind.

My second time in was Google Buzz. Immediately when I got into buzz I noticed two things: One it had way fewer limitations, and Two it integrated seamlessly into my existing lifestyle because I already use Gmail, Blogger, Picasa, YouTube, and many other Google services. I immediately found some of my friends though my Gmail contacts, and then found a few that they chatted with. Gmail also was built in as the private messaging system for Buzz though a  robust email service, and Gtalk integration was a nice bonus.

I was happy with this, and probably wouldn't have done anything else, but Kindy talked me into joining Facebook. As you all know Facebook is the king of Social media. They have chat, private messaging, they invented the wall, and also have integration into many services. It was powerful, it was clean, it was boring.

Seriously, I learned there was one thing about Facebook I truly hated, it's bland boring 1990's style web page. It was possibly the ugliest thing I have seen on the internet in a long time. Even Twitter allowed you to add a custom background, but this was just white and blue.

To add insult to injury, it was harder to find my friends on FB. See unlike Buzz where I could look through my contacts, FB had no such robust feature set, it's friend finder was powerful, but it didn't help me find the people I wanted to find, so in the end it was useless.

FB also has games, which at first seem really cool, but I quickly learned they were more of a nuisance than fun. I get tired of 95% of my news feed being about what my friends and family are doing on Farmville. And the Integration into my Google services are weaker than Buzz.

Now I find myself back to Buzz mostly, I still do some stuff on my FB, but I find Buzz is easier, more robust, MORE social, and just friendlier. I can more easily control who sees my posts, and who doesn't, I can choose whether a Follower gets into my chat contacts, and same with other buzz users. It essentially allows me to control my privacy better than I would normally be able to.

The truth is I suspect I am not the only one. Buzz is more private and closed to my friends. I can control who sees what, and I can feel more like I am in a tight circle of friends, and less like I am on public display in a crowd on people, trying to find someone I know.

It will take a while, but I think that Buzz will in the end win out over Facebook.

Beware of grapes with wooden mallets

My posts have been experiencing technical difficulties. *hides game controller* So don't expect them just yet. On that same note, my books have been rebelling, and ran away to join another author. If you spot them, just email me.

However I am not without bits of wisdom for you. If you watch a trailer for an upcoming movie, make sure your two year old brother is nowhere near. He might love one of the character in it, and want you to replay it over and over.

But I didn't not heed my own advice, and He now loves this:




It's "The guy movie."

Recall notice

Ok everyone, I was supposed to have a great series of posts this week, but I got lazy and did not finish them, so while I play catch-up I have to get something up right?

Well Considering I do not have much going on, I will have to just ramble on here. I got the talk to my Girlfriend yesterday, and we had a great chat. The Packers (GO PACK!) ripped right through the Deadbeat Bills yesterday, so I got both of my Positives. I just ate a bag of vanilla cream sandwich cookies by (looks at bag)  Frito Lay. I have been enjoying an old MMO but newly free to play known as Lord of The Rings Online. I am enjoying it quite a bit, so if any of you ever want to download it and play it, my name is Jingard, and I play on the Meneldor server.

Tired of me rambling yet? TOO BAD! This is my blog and I can do whatever stupid things I want to do with it.

I'm tired of rambling.

Now I will share four completely different songs that have nothing in common other than I like them.

Day 7 of My insane video countdown.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!
My blog is celebrating its 1st birthday, and on this special occasion we are going to give you the weirdest video of them all. I hand picked this as being the most surreal, so far removed from reality that it no longer applies to any form of logic.

so:

SWITCHFOOT!

http://new.music.yahoo.com/Switchfoot/videos/view/Oh-Gravity--36951650

another one you'll have to go to the website for.

I will just sit here and let all of you try to explain this video.

I'm speechless.

Day 6 of My insane video countdown.

This is the second weirdest video out there.

OWL CITY!








This video is just bizarre. He starts playing, and he hits a magic button that makes his toy all go crazy.
First of all why does he have so many toys in his room? and why from SO many different era's of toy making?  Yeah I was wondering all this when I realized it has NOTHING to do with the song at all. Ok now that we have established that, why are his toys (are they his?) running amok to his music?

I have two theories:
One: it's late, and they are angry that he is not sleeping, and are all trying to get to him and shut him up, but being toys, are not very good at that.
Two: They are all possessed.

Either one is not good.

and the dude needs to clean his room.

Day 5 of My insane video countdown.

This video is another bending the rules of reality, and is one of the weirdest yet!

RELIENT K!


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Jd9dfn0Fgc

Notice anything wrong? yep, this vid does not allow embedding, so You will have to go to Youtube to listen and watch.

The video is weirder than your average music video: it has time altering Affects! The last Lifehouse video showed us how time can go in a loop, and this one shows us that it is all because of where we walk on the street.

Now I am very afraid of city sidewalks, and who else thinks this may have been taking place on the same street as the last one?

Day 4 of My insane video countdown.

This Video will shows that time is actually a loop:

LIFEHOUSE!


I never get tired of shouting their names.



Let me get this straight. He is riding in a taxi, and is on a rooftop, and in a grassy park, then everyone around him is singing in HIS voice, and time slows down as he zooms in on them. Finally everyone that sings in his voice joins him on the roof?

Not to mention he gets to pass himself by on the street, and that version wanders on to get into the taxi cab, restarting this loop!

Excuse me, I am going to lie down to recover from this headach....

Day 3 of My insane video countdown.

After yesterdays one would assume I will keep ramping it up,and if you said that, then you guess right!
Todays wierdo bit is:

SWITCHFOOT!




First we see water running backwards. the droplets falling up. soon we learn that the lead singer is a human sponge soaking up all that water, and..... well next thing we know he sprung a leak and everyone is drowning but still trying to preform. and just as they are probably gonna die, someone opened a door and let out all the water (off camera) but wait! someone set off the smoke alarms and the sprinklers have gone mad, and they are getting rained on.

If I was there for filming day, I would quit.

Day 2 of My insane video countdown.

Next in line is the famous:

NEWSBOYS!




Ok I have really ramped up the weirdness today: first thing you notice, its all balloon themed, second thing is more subtle....... yep you guessed it, they are TRANSPARENT!!!???
yep, the newsboys obviously died and turned into ghosts, and so they are singing on a transparent Elephant Balloon that at the end comes to life.

Nothing odd about that!

Day 1 of My insane video countdown.

All week this week i will be doing post about insane music videos, so stay tuned for some wierd possibly mind altering stuff.

First up to the plate is:



Not that weird to you? How about that they are locking themselves up? Ok I get the point of it, but you have to admit it is way up there on the bizarre list.

In an impossible world

Ever found yourself dreaming and finding that the dream you are in is an impossible world? I do that all the time, and not just in dreams, but I "Daydream" I can visualize any kind of scenario in my head, I can manipulate it, and create variations, and it can be like I was there in that visualization. I can hear the voices of the characters acting it out in my head.

Not that I think I am there, but I can feel this other Impossible world. It is a world of my creation, and every story of mine takes place within. Believe it or not, all my stories are connected in a weird way. the stories that all my small stories tell are just part of a bigger more complicated arc; an arc that tells a bit about who I am, and what I think about the world.

I am probably weirding you all out right now. I weird myself out as well. My point in all of this is that I think everyone has their own Impossible world; one that tells about who they are, and shows the story of their lives, and their view of the world.

So have you ever found yourself stepping into your own Impossible world?

This is mostly just a test….

Can you see the above? and if so, what song is it playing? I’m experimenting with a new way to share music, and I want to know if it worked.

Dreary and yucky

This is one of those days that you really just want to stay inside, watch a movie, or read a book, and maybe play a game.

Don't get me wrong I like Rainy days and all, but this one is just grey dull and lifeless. Everything feels like it is going by in slow motion, and the world just kinda has a ho-hum feel to it.

I'll get over it though. the rain should be over by friday, just in time to have fun.

Typings speed

35 words
Typing Speed Test

I was impressed considering that I do not know how to touch type. I also got none of the words wrong, which was extra cool.

this is what happens when I get bored:

This is Caveman News Network, the news we want when you least want it. I'm your host Greg Bonehead, and I will be bringing you this useful news today.

First up today a cave school was attacked by Slingshot wielding terrorists. Our in field reporter Elise Clonk is there to bring us first hand what went on; Elise?

Elise: “Thanks Greg, and I am standing here where not two hours ago there were weapons of mass destruction hurling boulders at the local cave school. Shortly after the first round left eh long arm catapult, Men riding savage donkeys burst through the doors and started shooting with assault slingshots.”

Greg: “Elise, can you tell us how many were killed?”

Elise: “So far the body count is unknown. When the police arrived the Terrorist shot them first, and then went on to kill unknown amounts of beavers and foxes.”

Greg: “Where any Cave children hurt?”

Elise: “No, however the Terrorists did read them stories that involved Dragons, and blood, and many children are suffering from trauma.”

Greg “How were the terrorists stopped?”

Elise: “They um, well they actually went home.”

Greg: “We will now take you to our local expert of criminal psychology, John Ugg, are you there?”

John: “Yes, Thank you Greg.”

Greg: “John, in your opinion, can you explain how this all came around?”

John: “Well, I would say that it has to do with this country's rampant allowing citizens to carry assault Slingshots. Slingshots have been the cause of dozens of deaths over the years, and the fact that anyone can own one has lead to many unsavory types such as these terrorists to get a hold of them.”

Greg: “Are you suggesting a slingshot ban?”

John: “Well, not exactly, one does not want to take away freedoms from out people, but I do think that an all around restriction of Arms for general public will be necessary, leaving only registered law enforcers with such devices to protect themselves from savages such as these.”

Greg: “Thank you John for sharing your thoughts, now we will turn you over to what our President had to say.”

“We are very sorry to all those animals who lost their lives in the shooting today. We will think about them for the next few days.” -President Bonk

Greg: “Thank you for tuning in, in a few minutes we will cover how the Banana Peel inc Banana rig explosion has cause hundreds of golfers to lose their tournaments, and later we will cover the British tea parties held by the Victorian radicals. Stay tuned, this is Caveman News Network.
