the dw love, that is.

a new law [from mockingbird, 2005] 

don’t teach me about politics and government
just tell me who to vote for

don’t teach me about truth and beauty
just label my music

don’t teach me how to live like a free man
just give me a new law

[pre-chorus]
i don’t wanna know if the answers aren’t easy
so just bring it down from the mountain to me

[chorus]
i want a new law
i want a new law
just gimme that new law

don't teach me about moderation and liberty
i prefer a shot of grape juice

don’t teach me about loving my enemies...

don’t teach me how to listen to the Spirit
just give me a new law

[pre-chorus/chorus]

[bridge]
what’s the use in trading a law you can never keep
for one you can that cannot get you anything
do not be afraid...

oh, how we tend to wish [force] everything to black and white... life might be easier, but at what cost?

visit rachel for a stunning demonstration... photographic and otherwise. [you may need to scroll down to january 2nd.]

so, i've been noticing that i've been getting lots of hits on a particular image. i finally checked it out with a search on women with short hair and voila! [that's "viola!" to you beboardies]... there's my hair, among scads and scads of other google images of the short hair variety.

it's an interesting browse, and i clicked on a picture taking me to this site which is, apparently, my Hairstyle Information Source. and since you could say i am indeed interested in short spiky haircuts styles [sic], i of course followed the directive and surfed myself over to this page, where i found my most favorite and fitting quote of the day:

"There is a little punk even in the most conservative of people."

oh, yeah. 

with an old staple: quotes.

a friend of mine, an audiologist, received this as a christmas present. he brought it out for display to our bemusement, remarking, "well... it's a good thing i'm not a gynecologist."

other quotes of the weekend:

"it's weird when you travel through time. but i like it."

"you were perfectly exposed. so to speak."

"there's also group therapy in the adult section."

"oh, he just flashed me!"

"sometimes my rear end gets out of control."
