Poetry in Motion

I like poetry but I write crap poems so I'm showcasing someone else's poem. I didn't ask permission so let's say anonymous wrote it. Well, here it is.

The winter froze his love for me
The pelting rain that turned to sleet
Sealed his heart - a casket closed
The snow falls down & cruel winds blow

Y’know a real canuck
Well they would shoot the puck (give a fuck?)
Instead of taking flight
When they turn on the streetlights

The winter froze his love for me
I feel the cold on every seat
Beside the fire, I don’t know
A dusky ember from an inferno

The winter froze his love for me
I can’t help that my heart still beats
But his heart turned to tungsten steel
And I can’t help the way he feels

If I Could Talk With the Animals...

Everybody knows The Beatles and The Rolling Stones but what are the other bands of the "British Invasion" of the 1960s? One of my favourites is The Animals. They didn't have as long or as prolific a career as the Beatles or the Stones, which is likely why they are less well known. There were also fights amongst the band members, mostly over lead singer Eric Burdon's desire to go solo. I'm a fan though, mostly of House of the Rising Sun, We Gotta Get Out of This Place & Please Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood. I will now share the Animals. Please take a listen.

I Think Hawkeye & B.J. Would Support This

So... David Ogden Stiers is gay. If you don't know who he is, he was on M*A*S*H as Major Winchester and he was also the voice of Cogsworth the clock in Beauty and the Beast and the voice of Governor Ratcliffe in Pocahontas. He decided to publicly come out to help get gay marriage legalized. Here's a pic.


Good on ya, Dave. I just didn't see it coming. Clay Aiken... yes. Lance Bass... yes. David Hyde Pierce... yes. But this guy? not so much. Don't know why.

You Don't Have to be Here to be Here

Ok so it's been awhile; but here goes.
Paris Hilton... oh dear. what have you said this time?
Paris has called the MTV show The Hills "lame and fake". While this is true, even though it was likely only said because Hills star Lauren Conrad used to date Paris' boyfriend, whose name isn't worth mentioning; Paris then goes on to plug the second season of her own reality show Paris Hilton's My New BBF. I found this ironic to say the least. Paris does this show to make money, not because she's hard up for friends. here's the article if you want to read.

Another Joan Rivers Look-alike

so, it looks like we can add another formerly attractive person to the list of people who have been made identical, not to mention creepy by overdone plastic surgery. Rupert Everett, who was so good looking in 'My Best Friend's Wedding' and 'An Ideal Husband', has joined the aforementioned list. Mr. Everett used to look like this:

now he looks like this:

creepy, right?

Denial is not Just a River in Egypt

most people know who Jenna Jameson is. if you don't, she's a porn star; apparently a fairly prolific one until her porn retirement. after her retirement, Jenna and her boyfriend, who is a 'mixed martial arts fighter' whatever that means, decided to have children and ended up having twins. the twins, who are ridiculously named Jesse Jameson and Journey Jette, were born in March. the denial has come in recently, as Jenna has claimed on her myspace blog that she had a very easy labour due to her strong core muscles, which she achieved by doing 500 push-ups a day. let's be honest now, the reason she had such an easy labour is because by now her vagina is likely the width of the Panama Canal. with girly bits that wide labour must have been a cinch; it was probably like a log ride or someone throwing dolls out of a window.

Post Not-So Secret

Chapters is having a postcard sale and i bought several. this made me happy inside and i considered the wonder of the postcard and its evolution. first there was the postcard, and one could say what needed to be said without too much detail, no run on sentences were allowed. a person could say "wish you were here" or "glad you're not here" and little else with no questions asked. the postcard gave way to 'post-secret', where one can confess deepest feelings, secrets and desires anonymously with no fear of repudiation and a feeling of a weight lifted from one's shoulders. finally there was 'twitter', which, admittedly had nothing directly to do with postcards; but it is certainly the modern way of saying what needs of does not need to be said in 140 characters. my advice is to revisit the postcard in all its old-fashioned glory. write to someone, sign it or don't sign it and say just what you want to say in 140 characters, or less.
