Gordon Lightfoot-If You Could Read My Mind

If you could read my mind love

What a tale my thoughts could tell
Just like an old time movie
'Bout a ghost from a wishing well

In a castle dark or a fortress strong
With chains upon my feet
You know that ghost is meAnd I will never be set free
As long as I'm a ghost that you can't see

If I could read your mind love
What a tale your thoughts could tell

Just like a paperback novel
The kind the drugstores sell
When you reach the part where the heartaches come
The hero would be me
But heroes often fail
And you won't read that book again
Because the ending's just too hard to take
I'd walk away like a movie star
Who gets burned in a three way script
Enter number two
A movie queen to play the scene
Of bringing all the good things out in me
But for now love, let's be real
I never thought I could act this way
And I've got to say that I just don't get it
I don't know where we went wrong
But the feeling's gone
And I just can't get it back


If you could read my mind love
What a tale my thoughts could tell
Just like an old time movie
'Bout a ghost from a wishing well
In a castle dark or a fortress strong
With chains upon my feet
But stories always end
And if you read between the lines
You'll know that I'm just trying to understand
The feelings that you lack
I never thought I could feel this way
And I've got to say that I just don't get it
I don't know where we went wrong
But the feeling's gone
And I just can't get it back...

Rod Serling's Night Gallery - HULU

Night Gallery, created by host Rod Serling, was follow-up to The Twilight Zone. Set in a shadowy museum of the outre, the weekly series unspools disturbing portraiture as preface to a highly diverse anthology of tales in the fantasy-horror vein, Serling-style.

Foreigner - That Was Yesterday

I thought I knew you well
But all this time I could never tell
I let you get away
Haunts me every night and every day

You were the only one
The only friend that I counted on
How could I watch you walk away
I'd give anything to have you here today

But now I stand alone with my pride
And dream that you're still by my side

But that was yesterday
I had the world in my hands
But it's not the end of my world
Just a slight change of plans

That was yesterday
But today life goes on
No more hiding in yesterday
'Cause yesterday's gone

Love, my love I gave it all
Thought I saw the light
When I heard you call
Life that we both could share
Has deserted me
Left me in despair

But now I stand alone with my pride
Fighting back the tears I never let myself cry

But that was yesterday
Love was torn from my hands
But it's not the end of my world
Just a little hard to understand

That was yesterday
But today life goes on
You won't find me in yesterday's world
Now yesterday's gone

Goodbye yesterday
Now it's over and done
Still I hope somewhere deep in your heart
Yesterday will live on

HAHA! It's Me.

Johnny Depp is Dead. Long Live Johnny Depp.

Johnny Depp Died????

Your first instinct is to click, of course. Damn, Johnny Depp died? I gotta read this shit!





"....The police arrived at the scene shortly after and pulled out the body of the former actor, Johnny Depp. ...."

Then you notice that this CNN story has an angelfire url ... awwww.

It"s wild how many people clicked that crap and believed it...
enough that now sites are popping up left and right to discredit it. oh well.

The reports are not true that Johnny Depp died in a car crash.
The “Johnny Depp died” story is just a Humorous internet rumor that took off and was further fueled by the use of CNN logo for the Johnny Depp story.
A possible start point for the latest furor over this story
could have came from here. Who knows?

These internet hoaxes of celebrity deaths are becoming common news
and it is nice fodder for the comedy world or Horribly disturbing, depending on
your level of 'pc sensitivity', I guess!


Johnny Depp may not be dead,
but there are a lot of us that think his career died a long time ago.


And that's funny. I don't care who you are.

Subliminal Messages - Busted.

Subliminal programming works on the premise that you can bypass the conscious gatekeeper of your mind (i.e. the conscious rational mind), to influence the subconscious.

Now anyone into self improvement knows that the beliefs and attitudes held in the subconscious are the guiding forces in our lives.
These beliefs are the unconscious programs that create emotional responses and guide our rational thinking.

There is much evidence to suggest that subliminal programming does reach the subconsciousness mind. The fact that the messages are masked beneath music or ocean waves does not stop the subconscious part of us from hearing what is being said.

A good example is when you have been in a crowed room with many conversations taking place. It was impossible to keep up with everyone, in fact you may not even have been aware that you could hear the ones taking place at the far side of the room.
Until, that is, someone mentions your name.
Immediately your ears prick-up and your attention is shifted.

It seems that at every moment the unconscious (subconscious) part of your mind is reviewing millions of details that your conscious self just could not handle – such as the weight of your watch on your wrist, the feeling of the clothes on your body – and not until it becomes necessary or through conscious choice do these sensations become evident to your thinking self.

Steely Dan - Dirty Work

Times are hard
You're afraid to pay the fee
So you find yourself somebody
Who can do the job for free
When you need a bit of lovin'
Cause your man is out of town
That's the time you get me runnin'
And you know I'll be around...




I'm a fool to do your dirty work
Oh yeah
I don't wanna do your dirty work
No more


Light the candle
Put the lock upon the door
You have sent the maid home early
Like a thousand times before
Like the castle in its corner
In a medieval game
I foresee terrible trouble

And I stay here just the same...

KISS - Not For The Innocent

Why? because apparently I AM NOT for the innocent.
Let the beast run Wild...




I'm mean and I'm dirty, like none you've ever seen
Bad habits drip like honey, no tongue can lick me clean

I'm not of royal blood, I've never been discreet

Better lock up your daughters, we're comin' to your town
We're here for the slaughter, kick you when you're down
Kick you when you're down...


We're not for the innocent, let the beast run wild

I've been damned, I've been cursed, I've been guilty and abused
I spit the hangman in his face and hung him on his noose
Habitual threat, I got you in my claws

Gonna tan your hide, rip the flesh off your bones
Look me in the eye, and you're gonna turn to stone
You're gonna turn to stone



Better lock up your daughters, we're comin' to your town
You Better pray we're not around...

The Struggle for survival...

Yes, we are all struggling to survive, day after day.
No matter what we may be going through among the multitude of problems plaguing us,
and no matter how many "friends" we have to "support' us,
there will come a time when we will have to stand up alone and
fight the monster by ourselves.

When it's all said and done, nobody's gonna be there to fight for you,
they have their own demons to tackle.
But we must fight to survive. We must face the truth in ourselves.


You can't help me. I can't help you.
My fight is not yours, and yours does not belong to me.
All we can hope to do is help each other
pick up the pieces and somehow survive.

This is the world we have been given.

Mushroomhead: Save us

Dio - The Mob Rules (Live The Spectrum 1984)

Once upon a time, a man named Dio had the most powerful voice in rock n roll.

Relive the magic that was...

"...Performance values and technical ability have been all but abolished from rock 'n' roll. Attempting anything even remotely approximating a Dio show could potentially get a band laughed off the stage - and that's what makes it great. It takes guts and no small amount of talent to pull this off, and if done correctly, no one can deny its entertainment value.
So, stand up and shout! This is DIO!"

Fear Factory - Fear Campaign

"...Mechanize is the seventh studio album from Fear Factory.

Mechanize features the highly anticipated reconciliation of vocalist Burton C. Bell with original guitarist Dino Cazares, along with bassist Byron Stroud and journeyman drummer Gene Hoglan (Dethklok, Strapping Young Lad, Death). The anticipated album also welcomes back keyboardist/producer Rhys Fulber (Front Line Assembly)...

Through a combination of technological advancements and experience,
Fear Factory have evolved like a computer virus,
constantly reconfiguring itself to maximize its destructive impact..."

Fake gold bars in Bank of England and Fort Knox??

So...is the story going around about Fake gold bars in
The Bank of England and Fort Knox true?
Are we worse off than any of us know?

At the GoldBasics blog we come across a story from The Pakistan Daily:

http://www.daily.pk/fake-gold-bars-in-bank-of-england-and-fort-knox-14477/



The article states "In October of 2009 the Chinese received a shipment of gold bars... the shipment was received, the Chinese government asked that special tests be performed to guarantee the purity and weight of the gold bars. In this test, four small holed are drilled into the gold bars and the metal is then analyzed. Officials were shocked to learn that the bars were fake. They contained cores of tungsten with only a outer coating of real gold. What’s more, these gold bars, containing serial numbers for tracking, originated in the US and had been stored in Fort Knox for years..."


Is this "mystery" just a ploy to drive gold prices sky high, or could there be cause for concern for all those gold lovers out there?
I am reminded of a passage in the good book:

James 5:3 (New King James Version)

³ Your gold and silver are corroded, and their corrosion will be a witness against you and will eat your flesh like fire. You have heaped up treasure in the last days.
