"How You Like Me Now?"

 

He never comes home
And youre always alone
And your kids hear you cryin down the hall
Alarm clock starts ringin
Who could that be singin
Its me baby, with your wake up call!

How do you like me now?
How do you like me now,
Now that I'm on my way?
Do you still think I'm crazy
Standin here today?
I couldnt make you love me
But I always dreamed about living in your radio
How do you like me now?

Tell me baby...
I will preach on...

"As Good As I Once Was"

 

i aint as good as i once was
but im as good once as i ever was

i still hang out with my best friend dave
ive known him since we were kids at school
last night he
had a shots
got in a tight spot hustlin' a game of pool
with a couple of readneck boys
one great
big bad biker man
i heard David yell across the room
"hey buddy, how 'bout a helping hand."
i said, "Dave,"

[Chorus]
i aint as good as i once was
my how the years have flown
but there was a time back in my prime

when i could really hold my own
but if you wanna fight tonight
guess those boys dont look all that
tough
i aint as good as i once was
but im as good once as i ever was

i used to be hell on wheels
back when i was younger man
now my body says, "you cant do this boy"

but my pride says, "oh, yes you can"

i aint as good as i once was
thats just the cold hard truth
i still throw a few back, talk a little smack
when im feelin bullet proof
so dont double dog dare me now
'cause id have to call your bluff

i aint as good as i once was
but im as good once as i ever was
maybe not be good as i once was
but im as good once as i ever was

Yes, I appreciate that.  It's a shared passion and hope that I know you
are reluctant to "scrap".

Money and comfort makes people lazy and sex makes them stupid.

Like most people they don't understand it or the scope of the problem.
Sex differences makes them blind while at the same time the ruling
elite suppresses and propogandizes against the truth of sex differences
and their political and social dynamics.  It's a great gig though if
you are part of the corporate feminist elite or their monied toadies.
For the males the money eases the pain and provides safety while
increasing the access to sex and procreation partners.  Most aren't
fully conscious of what they are doing but happy for the benes!!  They
would advise that if you don't like it then make money like any
responsible man should and then they turn around and support mandated
sexual equality (feminism).  It works great for them while the machine
is running smoothly and money is flowing.

Me too.  This problem is the big challenge of our generation.  If we
don't take it on then all that went before was for naught.

Hmmm...I didn't know he got that specific.  Maybe he isn't an idiot
politically afterall.  I'll check it out.

Ain't it though.  Now I'm off to ask the python politburro to punish
one of theirs.  Wish me luck.

Prince Myshkin (see below) and Jesus bite the dust.  May they be
remembered.

Thanks ray.

Re:  Prince Myshkin of Dostoevsky's "The Idiot"

http://people.brandeis.edu/~teuber/dostoevskybio.html

"Idiot (1869; The Idiot), influenced by Hans Holbein's painting Christ
Taken from the Cross and by Dostoyevsky's opposition to the growing
atheistic sentiment of the times, depicts the Christ-like protagonist's
loss of innocence and his experience of sin. Dostoyevsky's profound
conservatism, which marked his political thinking following his
Siberian experience, and especially his reaction against revolutionary
socialism, provided the impetus for his great political novel Besy
(1871-72; The Possessed)."

http://www.doyletics.com/_arj1/truthima.htm

"One interesting not: because his father called him "idiot" as a child,
Hoffer read Dostoevski's "The Idiot" once a year every year of his
life."
