I scrutinize every word, memorize every line I spit it once, refuel and re-energize and rewind I give sight to the blind, my insight through the mind I exercise my right to express when I feel it's time It's just all in your mind, what you interpret it as I say to fight, you take it as I'mma whip someone's ass If you don't understand, don't even bother to ask A father who has grown up with a fatherless past Who has blown up now to rap phenomenon that has Or at least shows no difficulty multi-task And in juggling both perhaps mastered his craft Slash entrepreneur who has held onto few more rap acts Who's had a few obstacles thrown his way through the last half Of his career typical manure moving past that Mr. kisses ass crack, he's a class act Rubber band man, yea he just snaps back [Chorus:] Come along follow me as I lead through the darkness As I provide just enough spark that we need to proceed Carry on, give me hope, give me strength Come with me and I won't steer you wrong Put your faith and your trust as I guide us through the fog To the light at the end of the tunnel We gonna fight, we gonna charge, we gonna stomp, we gonna march Through the swamp, we gonna mosh through the marsh Take us right through the doors (c'mon) All the people up top on the side and the middle Come together lets all bomb and swamp just a little Just let it gradually build from the front to the back All you can see is a sea of people some white and some black Don't matter what color, all that matters we gathered together To celebrate for the same cause don't matter the weather If it rains let it rain, yea the wetter the better They ain't gonna stop us they can't, we stronger now more than ever They tell us no we say yea, they tell us stop we say go Rebel with a rebel yell, raise hell we gonna let em know Stomp, push, shove, mush, Fuck Bush, until they bring our troops home (c'mon) [Chorus] Imagine it pouring, it's raining down on us Mosh pits outside the oval office Someone's tryina tell us something, Maybe this is god just sayin' we're responsible For this monster, this coward, That we have empowered This is Bin Laden, look at his head noddin' How could we allow something like this without pumping our fists Now this is our final hour Let me be the voice in your strength and your choice Let me simplify the rhyme just to amplify the noise Try to amplify the times it, and multiply by six... Teen million people, Are equal at this high pitch Maybe we can reach alqueda through my speech Let the president answer a higher anarchy Strap him with an Ak-47, let him go, fight his own war Let him impress daddy that way No more blood for oil, we got our own battles to fight on our own soil No more psychological warfare, to trick us to thinking that we ain't loyal If we don't serve our own country, we're patronizing a hero Look in his eyes its all lies The stars and stripes, they've been swiped, washed out and wiped And replaced with his own face, Mosh now or die If I get sniped tonight you know why, Cause I told you to fight. [Chorus] And as we proceed, To Mosh through this desert storm, In these closing statements, if they should argue Let us beg to differ As we set aside our differences And assemble our own army To disarm this Weapon of Mass Destruction That we call our President, for the present And Mosh for the future of our next generation To speak and be heard Mr. President, Mr. Senator Do you guy's hear us...hear us.

Fear Has Unexpectedly Overcome Me!
For this article I want to relay a story that happened to me this morning, and then I will give some analysis of my experience. About 6:00am this morning in the city in which I live (Oklahoma City, Oklahoma) a very common thing happened. I was sleeping in my bed when I was awoken by a bright flash of light and a shaking “boom”. Now I have lived in Oklahoma almost my entire life and have lived with this experience happening very often. What is this experience you might be asking? Well, it is simply what is known as a Thunderstorm. High winds and large amounts of rain, with the occasional lightening strike. However, this morning something strange happened in my thoughts. I was sleeping very soundly when this occurred and therefore had no knowledge that a storm was upon my quaint city. When the lightening struck near my place of residence of course the light that was produced was very bright, and this is what caused me to awaken from my state of slumber. I was shocked, as I had no idea what was going on outside. Quickly thereafter a loud rumbling “boom” was heard and the electricity to my residence was lost. All of this happened very quickly and it did not allow me to think about the possible reasons of the light, “boom” and loss of power. Immediately in my thoughts, for reasons that I will share, a terrorist attack was all that I could imagine. Instead of thinking that the light, “boom” and loss of power were from a thunderstorm, I thought my city had again been attacked and bombed by some terrorist organization. Now this thinking did not take too long to fade because I then heard the rain and the wind and knew that the light and sounds I heard were simply what I had experienced numerous times in the past.
So why am I writing about as simple of an experience as this? Why did I initially think that America had again been attacked? To tell you the truth, I don’t really know. But let me try and explain why I think I had the reaction that I did.
In the past three years since the attacks on the World Trade Centers, the American people have been told by the current government that we could again be attacked at any moment, at any place in our great land. We have been told to be afraid, very afraid of this possibility. Once a month it seems that the terror warning is raised from some arbitrary color to another, meaning that the possibility for a terrorist attack has again risen, according to our current administration. Now I will tell you readers that I am not a person that becomes scared when the terror warning goes up, I seem to be a very cynical person when it comes to that. Up until this morning I had believed that I was one of the few in America that did not heed the useless warnings. I did not believe that the fear tactics being used today in America had affected me. I was proven wrong. They have affected even me, as skeptical as I might be. This infuriates me. I cannot believe that the fear tactics have slipped into my conscience without me knowing.
What can I do about this? I don’t know if I can do anything. I can continue to realize that it has affected me, and try to dampen the affect it has on my life. However, as much as I refuse to let the fear propaganda affect the way I live my life, it has affected me, one that is skeptical. When will these fear tactics end? When will America realize that we don’t have to live in constant fear? I hope it is soon.
Okay well I just recently got a deal where I will be publishing articles once a week in Brazil, they are going to be on pretty much whatever I want them to be on and all of them will have a hit of some kind of philosophy along with whatever is going on in American pop culture. So I have decided that I will also post them here....enjoy, or bash whichever you find the most fulfilling
War: The Childish Games Presidents Play
In my last article recently published in Cult magazine I wrote on a topic that seems to be the “Big One” in the U.S.A. The Youth of this country seem to have something to say about war and it doesn’t seem to be that they think it is a good thing. In this article I would like to address a topic that is also a “big one” in the U.S.A. This topic has gotten so much news coverage that many people of the world are tired of hearing about it, but readers grant me one more discussion of the issue.
Many months ago the John Kerry campaign stooped to a level that I hoped they would not stoop to. They began criticizing George W. Bush about his military record during the Vietnam era. They wondered and asked for documentation that proved or disproved that Bush had “served” his time in the military correctly. They requested documents that would prove that Bush actually attended meetings and drills that were conducted by his National Guard unit. When the story began to be discussed the Kerry campaign claimed that Bush never showed up to do his duty in the National Guard and therefore is unfit to lead this country. You are probably asking why I find this a bad move on Kerry’s part. Well, let me explain. When one campaign starts to criticize the other, what do you think is going to happen? You’ve got it. The Bush campaign began their own “digging” and found some not-so-flattering information on John Kerry’s time in the military during Vietnam.
John Kerry has been called a Vietnam war hero, he receive three Purple Hearts which are given to those in the military if they are wounded in combat. When the Bush Campaign began to research the facts of Kerry’s military service they began to find information that John Kerry was a very privileged soldier and some say he was given the most relaxed position in the war, floating on a boat down the rivers of Vietnam.[1] Some in the Bush Campaign[2] even claim that John Kerry shot himself in order to receive the Purple Heart medals. Also, part of the Bush Campaign’s attack is the fact that John Kerry after returning from Vietnam threw all the medals he received, from being in the war, away. John Kerry does not deny this and claims that it was a statement that once he was able to think about the issues of the war that was being fought in Vietnam, he disagreed with them and him throwing the medals away was a statement of his beliefs.
So what do we have going on during this 2004 Presidential Campaign? We have two children bickering with each other. I am tired of this meaningless arguing about something that happened almost 40 years ago. How does that have anything to do with America today? It is ridiculous to fight about something that happened so many years ago when both Kerry and Bush were so young. Let us argue about the economy that is suffering more than it ever has in history, let’s argue about the worthless war that we are fighting now in Iraq and other places. Let us discuss the issues of education for our children, and attempt to make our land a better place for them one day. That’s what I want from a presidential campaign, and I assume that is what the American people want also.
[1] From what I know of Vietnam I don’t think there were many "relaxed" positions, and receiving three purple hearts it seems that there was at a least a small bit of harm possible at Kerry’s position
[2] Even though the Bush Campaign denies that their “people” are the ones that are making these accusations there is ample evidence to show that they are.
Well I played with this site a bit and did some new things with it.....a few people were having problems leaving comments so I added another way to do that. Just click on the comments link and then you will have the option of which one you want to use. Now all of the past comments are still there even though at the bottom of the posts it says "0 comments" just click the link and you will see what I mean. Have fun
I love you Tricia.......MWAH........even if it makes Angie sick ;-)
