Here's a playlist from HIM to get me in the mood to start my NaNoWriMo pursuit.
Damn, Ville Valo is fine!
Don't tell anyone I was that shallow.

Prey for Nothing: The Deadliest Rain (Album version)
The Deadliest Rain
How many risks will interlope
This fragile condition of hope
Assurances will bow to the state
Bring back the bones that you paid for with hate
"A change of direction", the rise before the fallA vision antagonized
As words fell on stones
A region that is left without shelter
Barely with sins to atoneChorus :
I cannot attain
What is left out of me?
As we take cover from
The deadliest rainThe more we cry for help
The more our calls are ignored
Condemned to be destroyed
By the M-21 tear drops of God.Chorus

Papal Knighthood Bestowed upon Bhai Sahib Bhai Mohinder Singh
I have no problem with religion as long as there is tolerance. Since none of us know for sure the nature of the Divine, we need to learn to be open minded and treat each other with respect.

Beck: Guess I'm Doing Fine
There's a blue bird at the window
I can't hear the songs he sings
All the jewels in heaven
They don't look the same to me
'Till I learn to leave the past behindIt's only lies that I'm living
It's only tears that I'm crying
It's only you that I'm losing...
Guess I'm doing fineAll the battlements are empty
And the moon is laying low
Yellow roses in the graveyard
Got no time to watch them growNow I bade a friend farewell
I can do whatever pleases meIt's only lies that I'm living
It's only tears that I'm crying
It's only you that I'm losing...
Guess I'm doing finePress my face up to the window
To see how warm it is inside
See the things that Ive been missing...
Missing all this timeIt's only lies that I'm living
It's only tears that I'm crying
It's only you that I'm losing...
Guess I'm doing fineGuess I'm doing fine.

Nickelback Playlist
Here's a Nickelback playlist for those who will enjoy it.
"But wait, I don't like Nickelback! And I have to whine about it loudly and annoyingly rather than just not listening. I don't like Nickelback. It's, like, trendy to hate Nickelback. Do you hear me? I don't like Nickelback because I'm hip and stuff!"
Oh, look. Here are all the fucks I don't give about your hatred of Nickelback.
If you don't like them, don't listen and have yourself...
Thanks, and enjoy or not!

Darius Rucker Playlist
Let's go with a playlist from Darius Rucker, shall we?
Yeah.

How I Was Almost Special
First, read this article. Then read about how I was "almost special." He didn't get away--I threw him back. He wasn't worth of the love I had to give.
I almost let him back into my life. He broke my heart 25 years ago. Came back saying he was clean now, a changed man, ready to make a fresh start. If by clean he meant only doing coke once a day instead of four times, I guess he was. He was estranged from his two oldest sons, had a tenacious relationship with his twenty year old son, and my heart broke for his ten year old. His second ex wife (a woman whom I like, and who had taken him back once herself) wouldn't let him see the boy alone, and I don't blame her. She would only let him visit with his father if one of his older brothers was with him. His first wife (whom I also know and like) wanted as little to do with him as possible.
He is charming as hell, probably a sociopath, and so adept at playing the hurt little boy. But when I found out he was still doing coke, I told him I couldn't be more than a friend. He ended up with a fellow druggie, a woman 20 years his junior. (He's 56 years old, still acting like an irresponsible teenager.) He doesn't look or act like a bad boy, he has the face of an angel and this "aw shucks" Southern boy manner that could charm the socks off the hardest case (like me.)
Yeah, my heart broke. I'm not going to lie and say it didn't. This all went down a couple months ago and I've just now been able to start going to sleep without crying or wishing he was there beside me. But I realize now that I don't miss him. I sure didn't need the drama in my life that he would have brought. I miss who he appeared to be. Being with him would have strained my relationship with my own adult son, a young man with a gift for understatement, who said to me, "Mom, let's put it this way. Someone--we both know who I mean--tends to make really, really bad decisions." So for the sake of my son and my animals, if not for myself, I couldn't let this man be close to me. Even though he wouldn't physically hurt them--he's never been prone to physical violence--the kinds of people he'd be bringing around might. I couldn't risk that.
I've decided that I'm going to spend my life solo--just me and my family and my animals. The few minutes of fake affection aren't worth months and years of pain. I've got my own problems, and the men I tend to attract and be attracted to are just no good. But this guy was the worst of them. He did it to me 25 years ago and he almost did it to me again. I'm glad I got out before fully becoming one of the "special" ones.
Peace,
Tempest

Justin Bieber Down in Hollywood
So, first we have the Justin Bieber video, Boyfriend, for your listening and viewing pleasure or displeasure. Just bear with me on this.
It's a catchy enough song and he has a pleasant voice. But him trying to look "street" does inspire the eye roll. Bitch, please. You've never lived in a rough neighborhood one day in your life. I don't know that the video was his idea, but it makes him look rather silly.
Now, let Ry Cooder and friends tell you all what would happen to Justin if he ever really was fool enough to try and show his "street cred" down in the 'hood.
Unfortunately the Old School Cool VHS tape was a little shaky. Still, if you love the real, authentic blues sound, you'll put up with it.
Justin Bieber Playlist.
Yes. It is a Justin Bieber playlist. Like I said in my last post, he has a pleasant enough sound. I need something unobtrusive to listen to.
As Long As You Love Me
He actually has a pleasant enough voice. But I have some questions about the video.

Smee the Killjoy
The Simon and Garfunkel playlist didn't last as long as I would have liked, because Smee (SME) kept forbidding the playing of videos in playlists and saying that I had to use a stand-alone player. So here's another Simon and Garfunkel playlist. Hopefully Smee will butt out this time.
Simon and Garfunkel Playlist
So, what would you all say if I shared a little Simon and Garfunkel playlist with you?
Awww, you're welcome!
Scarborough Fair
Are you going to Scarborough Fair?
Parsley, sage, rosemary & thyme
Remember me to one who lives there
She once was a true love of mine
Tell her to make me a cambric shirt
(On the side of a hill in the deep forest green)
Parsely, sage, rosemary & thyme
(Tracing a sparrow on snow-crested ground)
Without no seams nor needlework
(Blankets and bedclothes a child of the mountains)
Then she'll be a true love of mine
(Sleeps unaware of the clarion call)
Tell her to find me an acre of land
(On the side of a hill, a sprinkling of leaves)
Parsely, sage, rosemary, & thyme
(Washed is the ground with so many tears)
Between the salt water and the sea strand
(A soldier cleans and polishes a gun)
Then she'll be a true love of mine
Tell her to reap it in a sickle of leather
(War bellows, blazing in scarlet battalions)
Parsely, sage, rosemary & thyme
(Generals order their soldiers to kill)
And to gather it all in a bunch of heather
(And to fight for a cause they've long ago forgotten)
Then she'll be a true love of mine
Are you going to Scarborough Fair?
Parsley, sage, rosemary & thyme
Remember me to one who lives there
She once was a true love of mine.

Dub Trio Playlist
If you are the kind of person who likes electronica, dub, and instrumental tunes, Dub Trio is a band that you will want to check out. They tend to have a heavier sound, although there is a lot of variety in their style. Here is a playlist featuring this talented act. Perfect for writing or doing art or editing by, if that sort of thing happens to be your bag, Baby.
Puressence Playlist
Me and all my wild and crazy friends from the KHEL 666 blog and Facebook page like to share great playlists. Enjoy this one from Puressence! This is a band that deserves more exposure.
Time to Hit the Ground Ranting
I admissibly did not bother to go to this site. I just want to complain about this badly photoshopped and horrifically sexist image.
I wonder what they did first: distort the breasts to look like overinflated balloons, or stick the barely pubescent face on the used up porn star body.
At closing in on fifty years old, I know this shit is bull. But I was once a young girl who believed that I was supposed to either look like a Playboy centerfold or a supermodel to be attractive. I still struggle with eating disorder issues. I am far from alone.
We are also teaching young men that this is what women are supposed to look and act like. Which is bullshit, and destructive.
It's pretty well the same old story, but I think it's gotten worse in recent years.

Dear Lying Cheating Womanizing Slut Muffin
A leopard doesn't change its spots and most of the time a slut doesn't learn to keep his/her pants up. Sometimes good people get tricked because we want to believe they've changed. They probably haven't. He's still a slut, and I'm the idiot who gets my heart broken.
Like my dear old grandma once said "Judas Priest, don't these fool men ever learn?"
She said this when the first guy she'd dated since her husband passed away almost 30 years ago tried to maul her after they'd had dinner.
No, Gram, some of them never learn. I thought my heartbreak must have learned, being as he's nearly 60 years old now.
(Course you might think the stupid 50 year old woman would know better by now than to trust so easily.)
Never going to get fooled again. I'll spend the rest of my life without. It's easier on the heart.

God Damn the Pusher
This is a movie review of the 2011 film Puncture, with a big side helping of Rant.
Puncture is actually a far better movie than I expected. It was difficult to watch in the beginning. Drug abuse upsets me. I'm not a purist and I don't fancy myself to be a better human being than hardcore users. I used to drink heavily, although I was able to quit on my own when the time came. I've used marijuana recreationally, though not in more than 25 years. I used to use prescription drugs recreationally and combine them with alcohol. As I said, I'm not some sort of unsullied angel.
I've never touched cocaine and certainly never done heroin. I've known people who have, and I've known people whose lives have been damaged by having hardcore users in their lives. Twelve years ago, a friend of mine ended up dead from AIDS. She had been infected by her partner and her daughter's father, an IV drug user. (Thankfully, her daughter is fine. She has been raised by her grandmother.)
Addicts can be very charming and charismatic.
I made the mistake of letting an addict back into my life recently. He may have kicked the substances for now, but he's still a womanizer. Fifty-five years old and still can't manage to act like a real man. Just a damn hound dog in heat is all he'll ever be. I should have seen it coming, but I wanted to believe that he'd really turned things around and we could be together. Dumb, dumb, stupid, dumb.
Don't let anybody tell you that fucking everything that moves is a victimless act. The people that sex addicts lie to get hurt. I don't want to hear about how humans aren't wired for monogamy. Fucking be honest about your intentions from the beginning. There is no excuse for lying to and fucking over another person.
I almost didn't watch this movie because of the involvement of Michael Biehn. I'm not particularly fond of his treatment of women. As a sexual assault survivor, I really did not care for his directorial debut, The Victim, which starred his hand puppet/wife, Jennifer Blanc. I could not finish watching that shit. He seems to have quite the cavalier attitude towards sexual assault, seeing it as a vehicle for tittilation. Not down with that shit, not in any way, shape, or form. No sir, violence and sex do not mix in my book.
I'm also not down with guys who fuck over a good woman to try and recapture their lost youth with some starlet twenty years their junior. Bitch, your youth is fucking gone. You ain't getting it back. Being a man about it and aging gracefully is a lot more respectable than acting like the stereotype desperate middle aged asshat. Great behavior to be modeling for your sons on how to treat women, Buttmunch. Just sayin'.
Fortunately, I didn't have to see much of Biehn's cadaverous, scary-looking self. He really only appeared in the last half hour of the movie. Admissibly, he's an effective actor--always has been. His own drug use probably stopped him from being better recognized in the entertainment world. I've heard rumors that he has been kicked off movie sets for drug use and manhandling his female co-stars. In spite of this, I actually ended up feeling sorry for him after seeing Puncture. He doesn't look well. Years of pumping your body full of the wrong stuff will do that, I guess.
Tragically, Michael Weiss, the lawyer who was so keen on getting safety needles into hospitals and other health care settings, died from a drug overdose. He was so young and had so much ahead. Drugs suck, they suck, they suck, and they destroy lives. What a fucking waste.
In spite of my hatred for hard drugs, I do not believe that jailing drug users is effective or correct. We should decriminalize drugs and work on finding a cure for addiction, which is a disease.
And that's my take.
Puncture is worth the view. I actually ended up giving it five stars on Netflix.
Petra
The Pusher
You know I've smoked a lot of grass
O' Lord, I've popped a lot of pills
But I never touched nothin'
That my spirit could kill
You know, I've seen a lot of people walkin' 'round
With tombstones in their eyes
But the pusher don't care
Ah, if you live or if you die
God damn, The Pusher
God damn, I say The Pusher
I said God damn, God damn The Pusher man
You know the dealer, the dealer is a man
With the love grass in his hand
Oh but the pusher is a monster
Good God, he's not a natural man
The dealer for a nickel
Lord, will sell you lots of sweet dreams
Ah, but the pusher ruin your body
Lord, he'll leave your, he'll leave your mind to scream
God damn, The Pusher
God damn, God damn the Pusher
I said God damn, God, God damn The Pusher man
Well, now if I were the president of this land
You know, I'd declare total war on The Pusher man
I'd cut him if he stands, and I'd shoot him if he'd run
Yes I'd kill him with my Bible and my razor and my gun
God damn The Pusher
Gad damn The Pusher
I said God damn, God damn The Pusher man.

Death on Two Legs
Some people really just need this song dedicated to them.
You fucked me over, you fucked a lot of people over, but Karma will get you. And when it does, I'll laugh.
You think you're all that, but you're not.
You could have been special, but you chose to be a sleaze instead.
Your loss, Baby.
I wish I'd never fallen for you. Made the same mistake years ago, but never again. I still hurt, but I'm getting over you. And I won't make the same mistake a third time.
Sayonara, and kiss my ass.
