Reaching For the Light Switch in the Dark and Not Being Able to Find It

Have you ever woke in the night and it’s pitch black

You get up, maybe to go to the bathroom or to go to the kitchen

And you reach to flick on the hall or bathroom light

…but it’s not there

You swipe your hand up and down the wall

And for a split second, you think that maybe, just maybe it’s disappeared

You may panic a little, because after all, it’s dark

And you can’t find the light

But, eventually you do. Maybe you were aiming too high or too low

Or in the darkness, you were just reaching towards the wrong spot

Life

Is sort of like that.

Why Are Some Towns Getting Rid of Their Police Force?

July 17, 2001

This article from AolNews took me a little by surprise. I knew that towns, and even whole states are feeling the financial crunch right now…but I had no idea that you could disband a town’s police force to save some money. It seems that San Luis, Colorado and various other towns are looking to cut costs by cutting out law enforcement.

Around the country…towns — large and small — are also eliminating their police departments. The Los Angeles suburb of Maywood, Calif., fired its officers, as did rural Bethel, Maine. Near Pittsburgh, Fallowfield, Pa., also voted to disband its police department.” – http://www.aolnews.com/nation/article/penny-pinching-towns-put-police-out-to-pasture/19550879

It seems that the job of sheriff is going to take the place of full law enforcement in some places like it was back in the day. Although I’m sure many, including myself, would rejoice at a firing of a full police force, there’s a few things to take into account. One is, police are an important and necessary part of any town or city. We don’t live in a society where people can police themselves, know the difference between right and wrong, and are not afraid to stand up for their fellow-man. Until we do, it’s imperative that we have a police force. Yea, some of them are really, really fucked up, but not all of them. There has to be somebody you can call when shit gets bad.

On the other hand…police are expensive. And the bad cops are even more expensive (due to lawsuits and whatnot that arise from their actions). I can understand why some smaller towns would feel that it’s alright to get rid of them. Not so much for the larger places. In this country, when there’s a large enough gathering of people in one place…it’s definitely necessary to have some sort of law enforcement around, regardless of the cost.

Thoughts?

Prevail

About the Song “Prevail”

A friend of mine listened to the beat and suggested I attempt an uplifting song. Something to motivate people with a message of hope…and this is what I came up with.

Unfortunately, the version you hear is not a perfect representation of the vision I had for this song. Also, it should be noted that I lost the original recording and had to piece it back together from a broken up temp file. Some stuff is missing.

The beat is called “Save Me.” It was produced by my dude in the UK, Big B. As such, I include it as a part of the Practice Words series of songs.

Read the Lyrics to “Prevail”

Sometimes we fall – we don’t choose it, Fail – and stop moving
We go through Hell – and we lose it
Why? – ain’t we improving, Rise – through the excuses
We will prevail – we can do this

The other day my brother told he was feeling down
He said the worlds against him and it keeps him with a frown
Instead of giving options all it does is gives him pounds
Of an illicit substance and a coupla cartridge rounds

His daughter wants or needs it and he wants to make her proud
Proud to call him daddy so he does what he knows how
He knows the consequences if he fails or falls or bows
Because he fell before – and so he can’t allow

The world to eat him up and spit him out, the time is now
He knows a better way is out there and he made a vow
That he would find it even if he thinks it can’t be found
And that was so profound, I’m glad when he rebounds

You gotta listen to your brain and heart, not other sounds
You gotta stand and fight through it don’t follow all the clowns
Cuz when the waters above your head and you think you’ll drown
You gotta swim against the rising tide to reach the ground

Sometimes we fall – we don’t choose it, Fail – and stop moving
We go through Hell – and we lose it
Why? – ain’t we improving, Rise – through the excuses
We will prevail – we can do this

Sometimes it looks real bleak, and you’re feeling bittersweet
And you think that all that you can do is just admit defeat
You try to keep the line together, but the ends won’t meet
Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do just to eat

The winter’s are colder, the summers bringin in more heat
Life is a struggle but when it fight you don’t retreat
Fight back and if you fall remember you got feet
And if you don’t, don’t be scared to bite it with your teeth

You gotta put that hard work in no way around it
Find yourself real good friends and stay surrounded
Because its difficult to be alone and still stay grounded
And being miserable will only help you stay confounded

You’ll make it through, no ifs ands or buts about it
Just tell yourself that, even if you gotta shout it
Think of solutions don’t think about the problem got it?
Life’s not automatic sometimes you need a push to start it

Sometimes we fall – we don’t choose it, Fail – and stop moving
We go through Hell – and we lose it
Why? – ain’t we improving, Rise – through the excuses
We will prevail – we can do this

How Things Are Going in my Hometown – North Amityville, NY 11701 – June 2010

I was curious as to what has been going on recently in and around my hometown of North Amityville, NY – Ya know, it’s been a while since I visited to see family and old friends. So I hit the news sites to see…and ya know what I saw? Nothing new. Also, this is all recent June 2010 news I believe.

Well, I did find out some interesting things were happening at the Sunrise Mall

Here are a few other little things that make me misty eyed and wishing for home:

Also involving Legis. DuWayne Gregory (D-Amityville) (who seems to be going pretty hard for Suffolk County as a whole, I approve:)

Vigil in N. Amityville for victims of violence

Community residents, clergy and elected officials gathered in North Amityville last night for a candlelight vigil in honor of those lost to violence and with hope to unite the community for a peaceful summer.

As you can see, plenty of good times can be had in and around my hometown. I really only bring this up because I was looking at a lot of descriptions of Amityville that seemed downright idyllic :)) And it is! Just not North Amityville. If you’re middle-class or better and want a nice place by or even on the water, then what you want is SOUTH Amityville :))

…and when the hell did Newsday put up a paywall?!?!

Campbell's Recalls 15,000,000 Pounds of SpaghettiOs

This has already been reported a thousand times by every major news source online so far, but I’m surprised that some people still don’t know about it. Keep in mind, this is a Class I Recall, which means the HEALTH RISK is HIGH!

WASHINGTON, June 17, 2010 – Campbell Soup Supply Company, LLC, a Paris, Texas, establishment is recalling approximately 15,000,000 pounds of “SpaghettiOs with Meatballs” canned products due to possible under-processing, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced today.

The following products are subject to recall: [View Labels]

14.75-ounce cans of “SpaghettiOs” with Meatballs, bearing the identifying product code “U5” on the bottom of the can.

14.75-ounce cans of “SpaghettiOs” A to Z with Meatballs, bearing the identifying product code “4N” on the bottom of the can.

14.75-ounce cans of “SpaghettiOs” Fun Shapes with Meatballs (Cars), bearing the identifying product code “KS” on the bottom of the can.

The products subject to recall bear the establishment number “EST 4K,” as well as a “Use By” date between June 2010 and December 2011 ink-jetted on the bottom of each can.”

Of course, considering this is hot on heels of McDonald’s recall of its cadmium-tainted drinking glasses, it’s starting to feel like somebody might be out to get rid of your kids. Think about that the next time you want to feed your children the quick and easy way.

Be careful.

Blood+

Do you like action, blood, gore, young teenage monster slayers in short schoolgirl skirts, complex emotional angst and the kind of melodrama that can make you cringe just by watching it?!?! Well so do I! Blood+ has all of that.

What is it All About?!?

http://www.crackle.com/c/Blood/First_Kiss/2480881/
Although I am a fan of the OAV (similar to “direct-to-video”), Blood: the Last Vampire, it took a long time before I actually sat down to watch the anime series that it spawned, Blood+. Blood+ tells the story of Saya, her mysterious past and her mission to kill all chiropterans (vampiric, bat/beast-like creatures). Rather than trying to sum the plot of a 50 episode series in my own words, I’ll just cheat and use wiki 🙂

“Under the care of her adoptive family, Saya Otonashi has been living the life of an anemic and amnesiac, but otherwise ordinary schoolgirl. Saya’s happy life is shattered when a chiropteran attacks her. She learns that she is the only one who can defeat them.

Armed with her katana, Saya embarks on a journey with her family, allies, and her chevalier, Hagi, to rid the world of chiropteran and rediscover her identity. The course of the journey reveals the background history of the chiropterans and Saya’s very deep past, which extends into the mid-19th century.

The series is initially set in present day (September 2005) Okinawa City (Koza), on Okinawa Island, near the US Kadena Air Base. In the course of the series, Saya visits locations across the world, fighting enemy chiropteran and searching for her origins.”

What’s There to Like or Not Like About It?

Now, before anything else, I must say that I did not like this series very much. That isn’t to say it was bad. Because it wasn’t. It’s production value is high and it’s animations are good. I just thought it moved a bit too slowly. I also did not appreciate a few of the character motivations…but that’s just one of the things you have to expect when watching Japanese Animation. Also, I watched the English dub version (yes, I know, shame on me) so I might have missed a bit that was lost in translation.

Blood+ comes off as more of a supernatural thriller, rather than the action vehicle you would expect. There is action, lots of it, but less than you want and more than there should be later on. However, it’s not until later that the action sequences are more stylized.

Saya, who should be one of the absolute best, regularly gets her ass handed to her. The action is somewhat uneven as well. One of the bad guys might seem awesomely powerful and it looks like he can give any one of the heroes a run for their money…but later, one of our heroes will be right on par with him. There are many examples of that throughout the series and it can be a bit of a turn-off when you see it happen.

I think the reason I didn’t like it all that much is because it pales in comparison to its source material. It has been a while since I watched Blood: the Last Vampire, but I remember it being much, much more engaging and intelligent than Blood+.

Yes, I am aware that I’m being particularly ambiguous with the details, but I really don’t want to give anything away. Blood+ is full of mystery (who is Saya? Why can’t she remember? What are the Chiropterans? How come only Saya’s blood can kill them? Etc) and it’s nice to see the story unfold. It’s just unfortunate that the storytelling was so up and down. The plot does not move along in a satisfying way. Sometimes it’s fast, sometimes it’s slow, and sometimes…it’s non-existent.

Here is the final word on Blood+: Watch the first few episodes or the full first season and see how you like it. Like I said, it wasn’t bad, it’s definitely something you can get into, it just leaves a lot to be desired.

Where Can You Get It?

The Part 1 and 2 box sets cover all 50 episodes (25 each set) and can be had over at Amazon – Part One – Part Two

Less expensive, but less episodes are the “Volume” editions which have about 5 episodes each starting with Blood+: Vol 1 – however, all of the episodes have not been released yet. It’s only up to Vol. 4, which ends with episode 20.
These are good if you just want to check out Blood+ in good quality, but don’t want to commit to getting a full box set.

Otherwise:

You can pretty much watch the whole entire series in a lower quality (with ads) for free on Crackle: http://www.crackle.com/c/Blood – if the ads bother you, you may want to try something like Adblock Plus 😉

More information on the Blood+ anime and manga can be found on wikipedia of course: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood%2B

Which Path

About “Which Path”

“Which Path” is composed of some very old lyrics. I rewrote a bit of it for uniformity after recording the original and not liking how it meandered. I changed the name as well. Originally it was called “Word Life,” and the chorus was very different. I will add some of the original lyrics at the bottom of the post for comparison.

This song is meant to convey the thought process of an individual as they struggle with what they feel their life is about. Much like the song “3Interpretations“, it’s told from different viewpoints, all of which are from the same environment…if you see what I’m saying.

This song was recorded with an M-Audio Nova microphone through a ART Tube MP Studio V3 pre-amp. My audio interface (sound card) is an M-Audio Audiophile 2496. The vocals were recorded at SB Studios (my room:), in the middle of it with all the windows closed. My DAW is Adobe Audtion and I used a couple of VST’s for general effects. You can look for all this stuff on Amazon as well as various other places.

The beat is called “Murda in da 1st” and was produced by Mr. Smiff

Which Path Lyrics

Sometimes I feel like my life is a steel cage trap
And the thought makes my earth feel flat,
I thirst to be gone – but in the end I’ll be right back
You can’t escape need or flee life’s tax – Sometimes it be’s like that

Cuz Hell is only earth – heaven comes when you bleed
– And some will claim to love you if you got what they need
That’s why I live my life as I see fit fuck a good deed
Unless it benefits me my fam and unborn seed

I got love for my niggas and respect for they’re pride
But they wait until it’s too late to put it aside
They wanna embrace the dark when they should see the light
They wanna retrace the chalk line to fit they demise

And from these bitter thoughts they tell me hope for best
Or just wait until my lifetime that’s coming up next
Fuck that I gotta do what I need to see checks
If that include risk or seeing my death?…sometimes it be’s like that

It’s hard to see that thing called change
When that change only brings more pain

Some will do crime
Some will get high
You must get by
And that’s just life
We will survive

It’s hard to see that thing called change
When that change only brings more pain

Some will do time
Some just won’t try
Some live all die
And that’s just life
We will survive

Heard a shot and everybody running
Seen my nigga leaking fluids yo the shit was stunning
In his hand was the gat that he should’ve bust back
He stumbling bloody tracks and his body numbing

His death awakened by another man’s hatred
For any case you could end up in that wooden casing
Fuck the reason you got a date with death in the end you leaving
Save your breath when you bleeding and your body’s freezing

Last man standing on the battlefield breathing?
Crash landed from the womb for no apparent reason?
The soul can never die it’s just energy releasing
So ride or die in the end you all eye seeing

So break the chains off your mind – stop watching clocks
Cause time waits for no man it’s you that it’ll stop
Play the stocks Play the block Play robbers and cops
Roll over, play dead – or aim for the top – whatever

It’s hard to see that thing called change
When that change only brings more pain

Some will do crime
Some will get high
You must get by
And that’s just life
We will survive

It’s hard to see that thing called change
When that change only brings more pain

Some will do time
Some just won’t try
Some live all die
And that’s just life
We will survive

Invisible gods you throw your praises to ‘em
And hope the nonexistent save you when you touch ruin
My thoughts congruent harmonize with the streets influence
Amplified through this weed and music

Like a general I should see nothing but saluting
Might as well be the shooter if somebody’s gotta do it
When the gauge leaves you ruined and your flesh turns to fluid
What happens after that niggas still be disputing

Maybe heaven maybe hell but the final solution
We define ourselves because our minds do the choosing
Heaven here on earth that’s the goal I’m pursuing
I’d rather have it now so may the god’s bless my movements

Cause ‘til I’m in the dirt I won’t know what the truth is
So in the here and now I’m gone follow my blueprint
Laid out and played out designed with this music in mind
You think I’m a lose it you stupid

Original Which Path Lyrics

Here are the original lyrics, which are also rewritten. The original, original lyrics that I wrote in trade school are lost in time somewhere 🙁

Word Life

That nigga Silence raised where the violence be at
I’m from the Ville where every house a grave, loving the fact
That when a nigga dies he comes alive but stays in this trap
Open your eyes to the distant skies and never come back

Because hell is only earth and heaven comes when you bleed
And your man is gonna be your man as long as he needs
That’s why I live my life as I see fit fuck a good deed
Unless it benefits me my man and unborn seed

I got love for my niggas and that love never dies
It just changes into hate but my eyes never cried
My tears were never born so they don’t exist in this life
Kiss of the knife your last wish granted tonight

Spill your blood on the street congeals thick like Yvette
I guess you’ll see me in your lifetime that’s coming up next
The bullet effect my thought too deep filed like index
The greater the risk the more profit made in the end

For every life there’s a price you can take it in blood
You can bang for the love or you can bang for the cause
Hang your thought on a cross and fill your body with slugs
Then ask the lord to forgive all the sins that I’ve done (please forgive me)

You can live or you can die – choose the right path
With either one you can lose son it’s all up to chance
I sit and stare at the mirror watch myself staring back
In my future all I see is a glimpse of my past

Word Life

Heard a shot and everybody running
Seen my nigga leaking fluids yo the shit was stunning
In his hand was the gat that he should’ve bust back
He stumbling bloody tracks and his body numbing

His death awakened by another man’s hatred
For any case you could end up in that wooden casing
Fuck the reason you got a date with death in the end you leaving
Save your breath when you bleeding and your body’s freezing

Last man standing on the battlefield breathing
Crash landed from the womb for no apparent reason
The soul can never die it’s just energy releasing
So ride or die in the end you all eye seeing

So break the chains off your mind and stop watching clocks
Cause time waits for no man it’s you that it’ll stop
Scared to pop never that I’ll put two in your knot
You better hope that in your next life you’re running the block

You pay the price or your death you can take it in blood
You can bang for the cause or you can bang for the love
Hang your hope from a cross and fill your body with slugs
Then ask the lord to forgive all the sins that I’ve done (please forgive me)

You can die or you can live – choose the right path
With either one you can lose son it’s all up to chance
I sit and stare at the mirror watch myself watching back
Scared of nothing but the future that’s reflecting my past

Word Life

Invisible gods you throw your praises to ‘em
And hope the nonexistent save you when you touch ruin
My thoughts congruent harmonize with the streets influence
Amplified through this weed and music

I’m the general I should see nothing but saluting
Put something in your brain leave you thirty years recouping
When I’m pumping out the gauge and your flesh turn to fluids
What happens after that niggas still be disputing

Maybe heaven maybe hell but the final solution
We define ourselves because our minds do the choosing
Heaven here on earth that’s the goal I’m pursuing
Cause I’d rather have it now so may the god’s bless my movements

You can die or you can live – choose the right path
With either one you can lose son it’s all up to chance
I sit and stare at the mirror watch myself watching back
Scared of nothing but the future that’s reflecting my past

Another Day

The games we play, the things we say
The way we block the other’s way
The strange replay, repeat each day
And end each night with silence

The gray between us grows and grows
But never will it go away
My black, your white, our mix of prose
Our mentals show the violence

Cause we do fight but not with fists
We brawl with cold heart missile hits
Explode like nuclear atom splits
We winterize our climate

We aim and strike or say we might
Our banners wave in winds of spite
Who did who wrong, who don’t do right
Who realized who was lying

But all that fades when down we lay
But all that goes when we unfold
And all we know is that we don’t know
And that tomorrow is another day

I lived in Coplay PA for a few years and had, on occasion, taken a few pictures here and there, mostly centered in or around N. 2nd St – Figured I’d put up some of the pictures and videos.

Here are some extremely random videos, in no order and serving no real purpose other than that they exist 🙂 Really…I just need a place to dump these videos for prosperity…I mean…It’s MY blog right?

Lost and Gone

I’m losing, lost the trust in you
I’m going, gone, what’s left to do
I’m holding on to the lies you tell
Our hearts move on their blood-stained trails

Now, what could it mean when it seems we’re stuck between
What we once were and what we became once we were clean

It really seems to me that we were drugs and we were fiends
Cuz I couldn’t let you be and you wouldn’t let me leave

You felt it in the ever lasting center of your being that
We were meant to be something like a perfect team

And now this thing we had is slowly tearing at the seems
And now the way is lost, I couldn’t breathe, you couldn’t see

That everything was crumbling and tumbling beneath
That our circle was so broken yet we still tried to repeat

But we flew far off the track and we landed in the street
Became strangers to each other and we never even speak

I’m losing, lost the trust in you
I’m going, gone, what’s left to do
I’m holding on to the lies you tell
Our hearts move on their blood-stained trails

Do you like action, blood, gore, young teenage monster slayers in short schoolgirl skirts, complex emotional angst and the kind of melodrama that can make you cringe just by watching it?!?! Well so do I! Blood+ has all of that.
