“Hold on to Your Friends”

A bond of trust
Has been abused
Something of value
May be lost
Give up your job
Squander your cash - be rash
Just hold on to your friends

There are more than enough
To fight and oppose
Why waste good time
Fighting the people you like
Who will fall defending your name
Oh, don’t feel so ashamed
To have friends

But now you only call me
When you’re feeling depressed
When you feel happy i’m
So far from your mind
My patience is stretched
My loyalty vexed
Oh, you’re losing all of your friends

Hold on to your friends
Hold on to your friends
Resist - or move on
Be mad, be rash
Smoke and explode
Sell all of your clothes
Just bear in mind :
Oh, there just might come a time
When you need some friends
-Steven Morrissey

What is to follow? I can’t see around the corner. Neither can anyone else. I may not be the best son. Truly a sad realization. Not new, but noteworthy nonetheless.

Have you check out the New York Public Library’s Digital Library? It’s incredible. Huge. Exhaustive. Symantics matter most when you are trying to prove someone else wrong. Have you ever noticed how easy it is to pick apart a written statement? Once you put it down in writing, or perhaps record it in audio, thats it. You have just loaded a gun and handed it to all of your enemys. I guess that’s why many spend a lot of time tweaking what they record and write. Logical. Perhaps I have the whole thing upside down.

Interestingly the definition of platonic was much more percise than I had once imagined.

Pla·ton·ic (plə-tŏn’ĭk, plā-) pronunciation
adj.

1. Of, relating to, or characteristic of Plato or his philosophy: Platonic dialogues; Platonic ontology.
2. often platonic Transcending physical desire and tending toward the purely spiritual or ideal: platonic love.
3. often platonic Speculative or theoretical.

I can’t decide if it ment what I thought or not. I’m just to fickle for that kind of a decision.

Packing is what I should be doing now. I have washed some things. Sleep soundly, worry not. Farewell. Tomarrow,….WE RIDE!!!!

    The same thing works for art. Have you ever notice how critics pick apart an art piece….and sometimes or most of the times, it has nothing to do with what they are talking about.

    People are weird, dont you think…:roll:

    You may not be able to see around the corner, but you can sure smell around the corner (at least in Prague).

    Does it really matter what the New york public library says about a word? As long as you know what someone is trying to say to you, define the word however you like.

    Context is lost on those determined to view the world through only their narrow vision.

    People expect one word to define the world. They are disappointed when they learn there are 500 that may be used.
