Ain't no talkin' to this man
Ain't no pretty other side
Ain't no way to understand the stupid words of pride
It would take an acrobat and I already tried all that
I'm gonna let him fly -mmm
Things can move at such a pace
The second hand just waved goodbye
You know the light has left his face
But you can't recall just where or why
So there was really nothing to it
I just went and cut right through it
I said I'm gonna let him fly
Oh yeah
There's no mercy in a live wire
No rest at all in freedom
Choices we are givin
It's no choice at all
The proof is in the fire
You touch before it moves away - yeah
But you must always know
How long to stay and when to go
And there ain't no talkin' to this man
He's been trying to tell me so
It took a while to understand
The beauty of just letting go
Cause it would take an acrobat
n'I already tried all that
I'm gonna let him fly - fly whoa
I'm gonna let him fly - fly
I'm gonna let him fly - fly

At our backs the castle door,
others feel free to ignore
this extension of extended metaphor
On the porch swings where we sit,
quick of tongue and fleet of wit
games and poems to submit
Open books in open hands,
poetry from other lands,
lyrics from our favorite bands
A telling word, a single note,
and meaning in a random quote:
significance of what we wrote
Different cultures and aesthetic,
for this we're not apologetic!
We are just beyond poetic!
Killers, X Files, Broken Bride
never are these words denied,
here they often all collide
from the early light of dawn,
as we used to, still wait on
the random poetry anons
Jack White, movies, TBS,
have you wisdom to profess?
Here, the answer's always "Yes"
Here we play, by words transfixed,
Haiku and pop culture mixed,
nothing broken, nothing fixed
Here is truth and here's creation
joy and horror, pain, elation,
in a story, small salvation
And here is laughter, here we're free
to be whatever we may be
and though others may disagree,
we greet the castle, greet its lord
and do so of our own accord
and shun the frothing, rabid horde
Be it known I'd so much rather
read my friends and all their "blather,"
on the porch here, where we gather.

Go With The Flow
This River Is Wild
Leaves are falling down
On the beautiful ground
I heard a story from the man in red
He said the leaves are falling down
Such a beautiful sound so I think you
Son, I think you better go ahead
But you always hold your head up high
Cause it's a long, long, long way down
This town was meant for passing through
But it ain't nothing new
Now go and show them
That the world stayed round
But it's a long, long, long way down
You better run for the hills before they burn
Listen to the sound of the world
And watch it turn
I just want to show you what I know
And catch you when the current lets you go
Or should I just get along with myself
I never did get along with everybody else
I've been trying hard to do what's right
But you know I could stay here all night
And watch the clouds fall from the sky
This river is wild
This river is wild

I KNOW! I laughed so hard at him. I ♥ Bert. I suppose I should ♥ Quinn since I'm married to him and all but oh well! ^_~
Jappy lunchtime Porchies.

*tackles Fimmy*
Aw, "MDS." :)
Gosh, it seems forever ago, doesn't it?
It's about damn time for another album, yes? >.<
Hey, everyone!
That sounds a little EWWWY, missus >_<
Whoa!
Hey, you two!
Hi, Mustard! :)
I just bought two country albums.
it is very very nice rw, very nice :)
slash, what is MDs?
wow, i am trying to chase up my driving license and i cant seem to find a friggin telephone number, does my box in i tell ya :(
The country albums aren't for me, Mustard, they're for my sister. She is a fan of two Canadian country artists - Terri Clark and The Wilkinsons. She wants their new albums, but can't get them over in Australia. So I ordered them on Amazon.ca, and got them to send them to my parents place so that they can take the albums with them when they go visit her in Australia next month
lazy 'ass' trying to confuse me pffft.
I am listening to hysteria by muse. good times, oh well, i am waiting for tornado to awake and then will take her swimming.
Has she got plans to splash you with water again today, Fimmy?
you knwo what rw, i bet she has or even trying to dunk me knowing here lol. i have so many things to do but i cant do them with her here, so i will have to do them after work tomorrow urghhhhhh.
How is your head?
My head feels much better, but I am still tired so i think I shall head back to bed for a bit.
Besides, I think there are construction workers laying down new cement on the walkway from my back deck to the street, so I can't go anywhere right now anyway :/
Well, gonna sign off now, be back later...
Have a lovely afternoon :)
I am temporarily red in solidarity.
Awww, PPU! You iz so pretty! :)
You are prettier.
Nuh-uh. You iz.
Awwweeeee!!!! :)
Hee-hee.
Yes sir. O_O
Bwah! So you like my red hair? It was so unintentional!
I do like it. It looks very pretty with your eyes.
Thank you!
Solly said that I make a hawt red-head. I wasn't so sure.
So what you doing today? Anything?
Not doing a whole lot today, actually.
How is work going?
Slower than a mothereffer.
At least I don't have to work until 8pm though. Well, I guess I could but then I wouldn't have a way home. I would be stranded! So, yeah, I'm leaving at 5pm. YAYNESS!
Did you happen to go see Batman this weekend? You know we have named you the Joker, right? ^_~
Dark Knight rocked my effing world.
No, I did not know about you naming me Joker.
Did you go see it?
Oh, wasn't it awesome? That is the best movie I've seen in a long damn time.
Heath Ledger was amazing. And I ♥ Christian Bale anyway.
The whole story though was just awesome. It is by far my favorite comic/superhero movie now.
And yes, we named you the Joker. Muwahaha. He was a totally evil but loveable Joker.
Damn it, I want to see it so hard.
Hey, dude and dudess. :)
MUUUUUSSSSSTTAAAAAARRRRDDD!!!!
Hi!
Oh, dude, you gotta go see it. You got to. Iron Man was awesome but this movie is just unbelievable. I'd totally go see it again.
In fact, I'm thinking of taking LHM to see it. He wants to so I just might do that this weekend.
The Joker is kinda pimp with his purple suit, so I guess that is fine.
Hi, MIB. How are you?
I don't see a lot of movies, mostly because I have a really hard time getting lost in them, you know? But, Heath Ledger has been one of those actors that has this ability to capture your brain and hold it hostage.
I really, really want to see it. :)
Hey, PPU!
I'm doing okay, thank you!
Kinda pimp. Ha! You iz funny.
Oh, Mustard, you won't be sorry you went to see this one, that's for sure.
Heath totally steals the show. And it's not just because he died either. I mean, this dude just owned that part.
PPU,
Did you see how Blogger has managed to eff up my name? Gah! It sucks so bad. I can no longer be Smoke&Venom20. :(
PPU disappeared again.
It was all like, "TO THE BATCAVE!"
Muwhahahaha.
Smoke,
When I was looking at old comments, I noticed that Blogger has totally disowned the "&" symbol in screen names. Aaaaaall the way back.
I KNOW! OMG! They totally changed BlogBelieve history and that is effed up on so many levels.
Gah!
:(
You could always do a "/" between.
Like, "Smoke/Venom20."
Still isn't the same though. :(
I tried the little asterik.
Smoke*Venom20
It just doesn't have to same impact as the &.
*drops head*
It's just wrong. WHY ME?!?!?!?
Bwahaha!
It just doesn't have to same impact as the &.
WTF did I say? O_o
What is going on with your name? I had not noticed.
That. @_@
I had a complete meltdown the other day when it happened. Solly was on the phone with me and all she could do is laugh.
I can be a little dramatic at times. Can you believe it? Me? Noooo!
Never. ^_~
I don't know! It works in the comment box but not as a user name.
Effing Blogger. >_<
So now I will forever be known as the blogger formerly known as Smoke&Venom20.
Damn.
Smoke/Venom20
That seems like a good option.
Ya think so? I do miss my Venom20.
It just added the extra ummph to my name.
Gah! It iz so stressful being me!
Or, I mean, you could always just type out "and." ;)
Muwahahaha.
Whatcha think?
I will give Blogger the what-for in your honor, S&M. Bitch done incurred my wrath.
Niiiiice. :)
Aw, it looks funny.
The "&" was the shit.
Maybe you could do this:
Smoke@Venom20
Not the same, but it could read as "and" instead of "at."
The "&" was the shit.
R.I.P my little "&" symbol.
O_O
Dark Knight was better than Iron Man? I DO NOT BELIEVE YOU! I might have to go see this for myself. O_o
Better than Iron man. You actually said that in front of K.
*shakes head and backs away*
*looks around for suitable cover*
Miss T, you're comment 66!
That's, like, 666 junior!
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha *evil laugh*
Is it just me or is it hot down here in the fires of hell?
Oh hang on, I had the heating turned up too high. That's better.
Now that you mention it, it is pretty humid...
LOL, nothing to do with me, honestly.
It's you 69 dude. It's the shame making you blush.
smoke said...
Oh! Oh! I almost forgot. When I get home, I gots some pics to upload of the stuffs we got for Mayo and RW.
Mayo,
I gots you sumfin' today. It's so pretty and sparkly! EEEEK!
Bwahahaha.
And before you even ask, you are Batman. Yes, I know.
Mayo = Batman
SS, ummm, we thought you were there but nah. You were only there in spirit. ^_~
PPU = Joker
OMG, yes, the Joker.
Okay bye for realz now!

Since you missed this comment from Friday night, I thought I would repost.
Also, the red unicorn looks a little satanic and devilish, it's kinda hawhhht, just like Smoke.
Haha! 69! Awesome ^_^
Hi Guys,

It's too hot to even type.
OOOOOOO!! A pressie, S&V??

Hello porchies. How are you all this afternoon?
Smoke, why don't you just type out the word "and"?
SmokeAndVenom20
☺
Hiya anon. How's you's?
Hi, Anonymous :)
What's the little square box for?
Oh, well, I thought about it and it just looks kind of funny. I don't know.
I guess I'll be just plain ol'Smoke for awhile. Maybe Blogger will fix it. :(
"Smoke" is nice ^_^
I think Blogger is having a diva showdown with you, S&V.
I am beginning to think so, too.
Well, that's okay. I've got a pretty red unicorn on my side. Snap!
Hi MissTottenham, Resurrected Wreck and just plain Smoke for now.
I am so-so. How are you all?
Not bad, thanks :) Feeling pretty mellow, but that might just be a result of the migraine pills.
Up to anything special this evening?
I iz tired. :(
BOOO! And my hands hurt! I hate having to type all damn day. I'm only thirty and I've already got arthritis in my hands. WTF?
Can I throw a diva fit, RW? I so want to.
I'm enjoying being back anon. I missed you guys.
*sigh*
Hello All!
Guess what?!?
It's still hotter than 400 hells outside.
Hi, Solly! :D
Ain't it though? Gah! Hell can't be much hotter than Georgia. It just can't.
MissT,
I laughed at your black armband comment about my name. Hee-hee. :)
Please do, S&V!
Solly,
How do you like my red unicorn on the main page now? Ain't he pretty? ^_^
I missed you, MissTottenham.
As for this evening, I plan to stargaze.
Get some rest Smoke.
'Night.
☺
Night, Anon! :)
I'm eating more of my vomit salsa dip.
*sigh*
ewwwwww
Night, Anonymous :)
I'm eating more of my vomit salsa dip.
>.<
That red unicorn is fucking hawhht! That's all I'm saying.
How come the & sign worked on that thing and not your name? That's weird.
Dudes, you know anyone who visits this blog and didnt know what was going on would be very confuzzled.
nite AG
Aw thanks anon. Enjoy the stargazing. Nighty night.
I'm glad I made you laugh smoke. can I take the armband off now, it keeps slipping down and it;s getting on my tits.
Oooo! I hear the ice cream truck driving by!
Solly, why iz you eatin' vomitous salsa?
The red Unicorn is the dogs bollocks solly. That's a good thing by the way.
Do you realize we now have a pretty purple, a pretty red, and a pretty chocolate unicorn all on the main page?
can I take the armband off now, it keeps slipping down and it;s getting on my tits.
Ummm, yes, MissT. You can take it off now. O_o
RW,
I dunno why I am eating it. I'm just bored, I guess and slightly hungry.
PPU is taking over the Treehouse of Tyranny. :)
Pretty soon, there will be a PPU for everyone.
Purple for you.
Red for me.
Chocolate for RW. (She's almost ate him all anyway)
WHADDUP?!
Hey, guys!
Muuuuussttaarrrddd!!!! :)
Hi!
Hey, that Pretty Red Unicorn looks like it has impelled the sun.
I thought unicorns like sunshine and rainbows and pots 'o gold.
Hi, Mustard :D
Yo Mustard.
I wanna yellow unicorn. The same colour as my big pants.
Mmm, chocolate unicorn...
Princess Smoke,
You gotta change it. Yep, this will never work.
It should read....
"S&M's Pretty Red Unicorn"
It's only right.
Solly said it lookeded satanic. He is hawwwt and evil, like me. :)
Ya reckon?
Okay.
My Pretty Red Unicorn would prolly want it that way.
BRB
Now.
Is that better?
I also said the Pretty Red Unicorn was haawwhht.
Yes, that is so much better. I bet you make the Pretty Red Unicorn chuckle or perhaps, laugh out loud.
Ha!
Maybe so.
You know, I can't read Pretty Red Unicorn without immediately singing Little Red Corvette.
Dunno why.
:O
K likes that little face.
Bwahahaha!
LOL
Red PPU's horn looks like a magic wand!
It does RW.
That's for me to cast spells with.
Muwahaha!
Bippity-boppity-boo!
Done. :)
Make mine perkier, S&V!
*ahem*
Bippity-boppity-BOOB!
Done!
Can I have my money back.
Money for what? You didn't pay me for that spell. Maybe you ought to and you'd get some really big knockers. :)
*looks down*
I don't think it worked, S&V. Perhaps PPU's horn is faulty?
OoOohhhh, watch it, RW!
You might get a boob between the eyes! Bwahaha!
LOL smoke.
O_O
I don't think I want one of those, S&V!
It might prove to be popular with the boys, but I'd have a hell of a time wearing hats!
I'm not AG. Time to do more stargazing. Night again.
☺
