out of my hands

Out on my window ledge
I don’t feel safe
And I stay
Looking down on you

It’s out of my hands for now

I can’t just walk away
Be nice to walk away
But I don’t feel safe
Get away, all the way up here

Its out of my hands for now

Oh it is down in from here
And down from here
Start to feel insane
Betrayed
Out on my window ledge

Now our finest hour arrives
See the pig dressed in his finest fine
And all that believe stand behind him and smile
As the day lights up with fire

Let me in
Let me in

I start to feel like I’m crazed

Betrayed

Out on my window ledge

Looking down from here
It’s outta my hands for now
Out on my window ledge
It’s outta my hands for now
So let me in
Let me in

So damn lucky, that you went on ahead

You said, you said

“I’ll see you later…”

I heard what you said a few minutes later

Now I’m sliding

And everything’s different again

VP Prick

this has to be the greatest “typo” to ever appear in an AP news story.

quoting from the AP on 8/19/08:

His top contenders are said to include Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney. Less traditional choices mentioned include former Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Ridge, an abortion-rights supporter, and Connecticut Sen. Joe Lieberman, the Democratic vice presidential prick in 2000 who now is an independent.

the original is still online here.

the iPhone 3G’s battery sucks…HARD

so if you’re like me, you ran your sexy-self down to the apple store on friday the 11th and waited in line for 5 hours for the new iPhone 3g. also, if you and i are indeed doppelgangers then you picked the white 16gb version and also have a puggle named buster…and great hair.

so the iPhone 3G is great. the app store, gps and 3G (when you can find it) is a winning combo for apple and those crooks at AT&T. that being said, the battery blows balls. big hairy ones.

in a given day, i usually go from a full-overnight-charge to my first low battery warning by around 3pm. weak.

earlier this week i heard that if you switch off the “ask to join networks” tab in your network settings, you can squeak out a little more precious lithium power. turns out this little tip has worked wonders for me…apparently making the wifi content to only join my trusted networks has given me a roughly 25% boost in battery life. this gives me ample time to answer each and everyone of my bootie calls.

oh and i’m talking about this setting right here.

beautiful word clouds

so recently nic posted her “wordle” and then i asked myself what the hell is wordle and then i walked down and bought a sandwich but when i came back home i googled “wordle” and found out that “wordle” is a site on the world wide aol internet.

so here’s what comes up for my blog when processed through the lower intestine of wordle.net

Picture 1

Picture 2

oh and yesisaworld only posted one so i thought i would post THREE b/c she gets to live in NYC while i’m stuck in socal and that sorta makes us even.

apparently wordle scans through whatever URL you provide and then runs some algorithm and generates a text cloud based on the aforementioned site’s word useage. i’m assuming that the larger the font the more prominent the occurrence of said word. however, if that’s true then i’ve used the word “phyllis” way way way too much.

UPDATE: ok so i just searched for the word “phyllis” on my blog and remembered that i posted this and it had 3 comments from interweb-bigshots and perhaps that explains the phyllis-action.

the one about fail

remember that one time when i forgot that you have to renew your domain name or else the internet_jesus turns off your blog?

that blew.

luckily, onelonelysuccess.com is safely registered for another year of posts about buster and replete with words from the list.

so last night, the prettygirl and i were sitting around the computer and i wanted to brag about my website and how popular i am in canada.

dutifully, i typed in onelonelysuccess.com and was greeted with a “this site is no longer available b/c some jackass didnt pay“.

looking up to me with concern, the prettygirl replied under her breath, “…fail?

i was so proud of her for dropping some ‘net slang that i could have cared less about my blog.

each one teach one, yo.

science v. religion

stumbleupon sent me to this image and i just had to share. click the image below for full-sized-fun.

sciencevsreligion.jpg

you’re welcome.

for george

long before bill maher, lewis black or jon stewart there was george carlin.

he was the first person who i heard say that ‘bad words’ are just words.
he was the first person that i ever heard question if there was a god.
he was the first person i ever heard tear apart religion with logic.
he was the first person who made me think ‘what if everything i’ve been told is a lie’.

here’s a tribute that i found that i think george would really dig:

thank you, george.

Waiting 50 Years for Marriage

this is a photo of Del Martin, 87, and Phyllis Lyon, 84.

they have been a couple for the past 55 years.

today, the state of california legally recognized their marriage; they were the first same-sex-couple to be married at 5:01pm PST.

i’ve said before that the way you respond to this civil issue will be one of the defining landmarks by which history will remember you. if you think i’m being dramatic, just talk to people whose parents/grandparents didnt support the civil rights movement of the 1960s.

congratulations Del & Phyllis.

american baby

this is for a girl who needs to hear this track…

you’re welcome

get off my lawn!

so while i’ve heard the calls of fellow bloggers for this presidential election to be free from remarks about either candidates race and/or age, i cant help but get this mental image whenever i watch mccain struggle through his party’s teleprompter-lies.

agree or disagree?
