Tomorrow, Wendy - Andy Prieboy Covered by docrivs: "




This is my first YouTube upload, and I just decided to perform this song. I like the song a lot, but this video is first take, and I screwed up a few parts. Maybe I'll retape it sometime and re-post that version. For now, I had to get something up! It's about motivation.

Drop - The Pharcyde



(Bootie Brown)

Let me freak da funk Obsolete is da punk

That talks more junk than Stanford sells

I jet propel at a rate that I complicate

Their mental state as I invade their masquerade

They couldn't fade with a clipper blade

Ten years in a trade is not enough you can't cut it

I let you take a swing and you bunted for an easy out

I leave M.C.'s with doubt of exceeding

My name is Bootie Brown and I'm proceeding leading

They try to follow...

But they're shallow and hallow

I can see right trough them

like an empty 40 bottle of O.E. they have no key or

no clue to the game at all

Now they're washed up, hung out to dry

Standing there looking stupid, wondering why... (why, man)

It was the fame (fame) that they try to get

Now they're walking round taking 'bout represent

And keep it real But I got to appeal

Cause they're existin in a fantasy

...when ...holding the steel.



(Slim Kid)

Rock-a-bye baby listen to my heart beat pumpin

to a fine ravine of all things it's a vain of a shrine

All missions impossible are possible cause I'm

headed for a new sector three-sixty-five days from now

I'll wipe the sweat from my eye and each and every trip

will stick or fall from the sky of my cloud nine

From homies all the way to chicks no matter how fine

Controlling is a swollen way to wreck a proud mind

Here told it in ya hands and watch a man start crying

Tear after tear in the puppet man's hands

Everytime you take a stance you do the puppet man's dance

And the world's at a stand still deep in a mansville

Trapped in the moat with anvil still killing ya self

And doggin ya health you ain't amphibious so grab

a hold of yourself



(Krumbscull #1)

Sh-sh-shit is ill but trough my will

My flow still will spill 'toxic slick'

to shock you sick like electrocute

When I execute acutely over the rhythm

On those that pollute 'extra dosages'

Is what I gotta give 'em I got 'em tremblin

Cuz I been up in my lab assembling

Missiles to bomb the enemy because they envy me

And the making of my mad currency, currently

I think we're in a state of an emergency

Cuz niggas done 'sold their souls'

And now their souls is 'hollow'

And I think they can't follow they can't swallow

The truth because it hurts this is how I put it down

This is my earth my turf the worth of my birth is

A billion and you know what time is it

I'm gonna make a million"

Psychologist and Author, James Hillman, speaking about his book, 'A Terrible Love of War'

Saved as a podcast, this is a recording of an event when renowned psychologist James Hillman spoke about his book, 'A Terrible Love of War'.

I finished the book last night, and I have to say it is one of the best analyses of war I have ever read. Hillman goes deeper into the psychology of why we war than any other analyst I've encountered, and he uses sociocultural anthropology, ethnographic, historical, and sociological methods to break through the skin and stare at the guts. For anyone who is interested in the study of war, conflict, and violence, this book is at the top of my list, and for anti-war activists it is at the top of the top.

217 pages.

Biking to Grandview

So, I rode my bike to work for the first time on Friday, and after work I rode down the Olentangy Trail to visit a friend of mine in Grandview. This was the route I took. After riding to work 0n Friday morning, from work to my friend's that evening, and then back home on Saturday morning, I calculated that I had gone about 25 miles. Not bad for my first real bike ride all season.

My First Rain Barrel





First, I bought the barrel, which was $15. It once held Kikkoman Soy Sauce.

Then, I drilled holes in the lid so that I could cut the lid off. I used a saw to cut the lid off.

Once the lid was off I was able to clean out the inside of the barrel with soap, water, and a scrub brush.

Next, I drilled a hole for the tap. I forced the tap into the hole and sealed it with plumber's caulk, which turned out to be a bad idea. That stuff just erodes away. Use silicon. I made my own rubber gasket out of a piece of rubber.

Then, I tested the seal. The seal was great when I first tried it out, but eventually, the plumber's caulk gave way.

I screwed some longish screws around the inside edge of the barrel to hold the lid up, because it shrank up. The lid had already been outfitted with a PVC pipe adapter, courtesy of the guy who sold me the barrel. But, that would be the next step if you were to cut your own hole and add an adapter. This adapter makes it easy to go directly from a gutter or PVC pipe into the barrel.

The next part was screwing some mesh screen to the bottom of the lid to keep the mosquitoes out. They're bad this year.

After that, I set up a PVC pipe / adapter / gutter system to run from the roof to the barrel. And that was that. It works great!

Two more to go.

We were only 8 or 9 feet apart, so I am very grateful that he let me get that close to him and just sit there and shoot. Maybe he was just as curious as I was, or maybe he was just cautious and didn't care that I was there as long as I didn't make any sudden moves. He had a companion off in the woods a little bit away, but I couldn't tell if it was a male or a female, adult or younger. Rush Creek can seem like a magical place sometimes.

Down With The Military-Industrial Complex

Read this USA Today article, by Edna Gunderson, about Bob Dylan. Pay close attention to paragraph 22, which is the part where Dylan's words about his song, "Masters of War", were placed. Then, after you've read that paragraph, go back up to the byline of the article and check out the date.

"You fasten all the triggers
For the others to fire
Then you sit back and watch
While the death count gets higher"

More than 6,000 Coalition Troops, from over 20 different countries, have been killed in the conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq. Many more 'insurgents'/'anti-occupation' forces members have been killed, whether they were members of Al Quaeda, Taliban, Iraqi army, or some other armed force, or whether they were just lone operators. Many, many more civilians have been killed in these conflicts.

How To Make Your Own Rainwater Harvesting Barrel


Using Google Documents I have created a folder dedicated to rainwater harvesting, and in that folder is a PDF document that contains a great set of "how to" instructions for making your very own rainwater catchment system, using a 55 gallon plastic barrel and some very low-cost pieces of hardware. It shouldn't take much more than a half-hour to build one of these.
