Goodbye to the Night (Valentine's Day Song)

I've walked alone
For many a mile
Though my shoes are worn
I still have to smile
And as I lay down
And pull my blankets in tight
I think of you
And say goodbye to the night

You walked with me
For as long as you could
But you had other plans
You said mine were no good
But I remember the times
When I held you tight
And together we
Would say goodbye to the night

Oh it would rain
And we had no home
No roof over our heads
To call our own
But sometimes love
Don't it just feel right?
When you've got someone
To help say goodbye to the night

I've walked alone
For many a mile
But I can't walk no more
So I'll rest for awhile
I always said
That again we'd meet
In this life or the next
On some lonely street
The moon is out
So pale she shines
But she'll do alright
To say goodbye to the night

Where are you love?
I hope you're doing alright
Wherever you are
However far
I say goodnight to you
And goodbye
To the night

Bummed

Take me down
To the sea
Wash me in the water
I don't care
If it's full of shit
I've had enough of slaughter
I have a house
It's full of worms
I have a hard time sleeping
And when I wake
And I'm not dead
I just feel like weeping
No I don't want it
There's too much dirt on it
It might be poison to me

Go away from me
Just let me be
Go away from me
Just let me be
I don't want to see

The TVs on
But no ones home
The attic light is dimming
Off to the side
An empty tank
No fish are swimming
Somewhere down
The hallway dark
I can hear a ringing
But then I find
It's in my head
And I just feel like screaming
No I don't want it
Quit trying to flaunt it
Stop shoving it at me

Go away from me
Just let me be
Go away from me
Just let me be
I have to pee

Have you ever seen
A night so long
When all the stars are dying?
The moon is out
But I'm at home
But it's not for lack of trying
I might have said
I miss your face
But all the time I was lying
But I know
You're having fun
Instead of at home crying
I know you want
To get me stoned
But it's not really my thing
No I don't want it
It came from your pocket
There's nothing in it for me

Go away from me
Just let me be
Go away from me
Just let me be
Go away from me
Bad things come in threes

Collage #1

I don't have a scanner yet so a picture will have to do. All of the images were swiped from the February 2010 issue of Maxim.



So what did I learn? Well, I learned that Maxim is a totally worthless magazine. It's sort of like Playboy except no nudity and all the articles suck. It's also way over-priced, which is something I didn't find out till after I bought the damn thing! Six bucks for something I'm going to cut up and throw away is way too much. I have to find cheaper material!
I also learned that working with very tiny things and glue sucks pretty hard. If you've got something in the wrong spot, it's hard to move without tearing the hell out of everything. You can kind of see some of my mistakes and re-dos.

All in all I'm pretty pleased with it since it's my first one, even though I didn't get everything quite the way I wanted it. (Papa Smurf and the guitar neck was a pain in the ass!)
So...what do you guys think of it?

Stuff listened to while creating:
The Offspring's Official Channel
The Outhere Brothers:
Wiggle Wiggle
Boom Boom Boom (Dirty Version)
Pussy Pussy
If You Wanna Party
I Wanna Fuck You in the Ass

Fuck

(New meme! Post your own middle finger pic! Tell the world what you really think!)

I have an orange. I'm wondering what would happen if I hucked it at a passing car while I was walking down the street. I'd love to hear that joyful "smack" as it hit the windshield, possibly breaking it. Then the person would stop and get out and I'd tell them I was the king of Siam, and the imperial grand wizards of my castle had built me a time machine, allowing me to go forward to the future to huck oranges at people.
More people need oranges thrown at them. Some people need it a few times a day, some people need it all the time. I wish I could get a job throwing oranges at people.
I'm sick of being human. I'm sick of this aimless slide towards death, the eternal void of nothingness, the short hours that I've been alloted filled with tedium. Yeah yeah, I know it's what life is, but I fucking hate it. I hate it like I hate Carlos Mencia.
So is that how it's supposed to be? Glory and interesting things for some, and tedium for the rest? Well, I suppose there's alcohol to at least make you forget how much your life sucks, but it only blinds you.
Okay, here's something else I've come to realize: I will never have a steady girlfriend. Why? Because of my real name. You may have realized that the name that I go by on the Internet is not what I'm commonly called by in the real world. I chose it because it's cool. And because I fucking hate my real name. My real name will never get me girls but I think I was fated to have it. It fits me, the shy guy that never gets any. The weirdo that doesn't fit in anywhere. The one that hates clubs and crowded spaces. So why don't I just go party it up like everyone else? Because then I'd just do something stupid and get laughed at, and I fucking hate being laughed at. Being ignored is fine, but when I'm being mocked and degraded, it pisses me off.
But hey, now I'm being all depressed, why don't I just smile more and think happy thoughts? Um no, I'll smile when I fucking feel like it and not much is making me smile right now, so I'm not going to.
Ha ha ha, I have no future!
Ha ha ha, I flunked out of college twice!
Ha ha ha ha, I think I'm going to puke!
Sunshine and flowers. Sunshine that burns and flowers that eat human flesh. That's all you're going to get from me.
I need to start making collages again. I made a few when I was in high school. My favorite one I made from pictures in an old psychology textbook that I dug out of the free box at a book sale. If I had a scanner, I'd post it. I haven't seen it for years though, maybe it's not as good as I remember it. Probably. No one I showed it to thought it was any good.
I tried to make one out of random pictures I found on the net, but that's harder to do. It's easier to flip through a magazine and find pictures that I like and can glue how I want than to dig through websites and try to get MS paint to work right. Hmmm, this does sound like an interesting weekend project though. I need some glue and poster board, maybe a random magazine. And a scanner. I wonder if I can find one for cheap?

In the meantime, here's a picture I made using MS Paint and google search:

The Worst Cartoons Based on Sitcoms (Opening Themes)

The 70s and 80s were certainly a dark time for cartoons. Mostly because executives thought kids would want to sit through crap like this:


While not based on a TV show, this one is included because it was riding on Coleman's popularity on Different Strokes. And because it's fucking awful.
Edit: According to TVtropes, this was based off of Coleman's made for TV movie,The Kid with the Broken Halo. Knowing this does not make the fact that the cartoon exists make any more sense.

Before we get into the 70s, lets look at another one from the 80s when this awful trend was starting to die off:

Do you remember Punky Brewster? Nope, neither do I. I wonder if she had a magical cat in the live action show too?


How the Hell would you come up with something like this? Why would you waste time and money and animator's wrists making it? What lame kid was watching? Well that goes for most of these shows. At least it's not as bad as...


Poor Wolfman Jack. I wonder how much he got paid to do the theme "song." At one point he sounds flabbergasted for a second, like he had to pause and go "what in the name of Elvis's back hair am I reading?"
Oh and if that's not enough, they combined both shows with a third!


Can you imagine going to school and admitting to your friends that you watched The Mork and Mindy, Laverne and Shirley, and the Fonz Hour? I'm pretty sure what few friends you had would start keeping their distance pretty quickly.

Oh and did you know that there were two Gilligan's Island cartoons? In the first one they were back on the island again somehow:

What I want to know is why they got rid of the catchy theme song? The new one sucks as much as I'm sure the cartoon did. It must not have done very well because they made another one....IN SPACE!:


And they re-worked the opening theme from the earlier cartoon. Great. Too bad that planet they landed on had a breathable atmosphere...

Wait, are you done vomiting yet? Get ready to run for the toilet again!:


Hooh-rah, wasn't that fun? Oh wait, I'm not even done yet!

Again, why did they get rid of the original theme song and replace it with crap? Or better yet, why was the show made in the first place? Dukes of Hazard was cartoony enough on it's own!

Oh Hanna Barbara, why why why why why?

Again: awful idea, awful animation, terrible theme song. WHO WAS WATCHING THIS CRAP?

Alright, I feel a bit sick and I'll bet you do to so I'll just...
PARTRIDGE FAMILY CARTOON!

IN SPACE! Well, in the future anyways. Way to horribly rip-off the Jetsons though.

Alright, I'll leave you with this song from the animated spin-off of Be-witched oddly titled, Tabitha, Adam, and the Clown Family.

Edit: Try muting this last clip and playing Closer by NIN over it. I dare you!

Happy nightmares cartoon fans!

Throw em at me

Yeah I deleted the last post. No, I'm not going to finish it. You know why? Because I can't write about realistic boy/girl relationships. Why? Because the few that I've had have ended very badly. Plus I didn't like the tone of the thing at all. I was just really not happy with the thing, even if it was just the first part.
Oh well, easy come easy go I guess.
I haven't had a good idea for awhile now and It's really killing me.
So throw something at me you guys. What would you like me to write about? It can be anything at all, fucked up or not. I'm kind of slamming my head into a wall here. Think of this as me taking commissions, but for free. (Unless you want to pay me, that'd be really nice!)

Werewolf...Monday?

Yeah, I should save this for Wednesday. Oh well, I feel like posting it today. I never knew there were so many songs about werewolves till I started thinking of all the one's I knew. Of course you have to start with the king of all lycanthropic odes:


"You better stay away from him, he'll rip your lungs out Jim!" I love Warren Zevon.

I just read that this song was supposedly inspired by Wolfen!:

My werewolf movie will have this song in it's opening credits sequence, and it will rule.


Fang is one of my favorite punk bands, this song is great but not my favorite by them. That would be Destroy the Handicapped. Love the howls at the end though!

This is what parents were up in arms about their kids listening to in the 80s:

Maybe if I watch this cheesy video enough times, I'll turn into a man-wolf. Or turn into Ozzy. Nah, all I'd have to do for that to happen is do truckloads of drugs till my brain doesn't function right.

Alright, so now we get into songs that aren't about werewolves, but seem to fit anyways. How many of you have seen American Werewolf in London? Well, you should, it's awesome.
Anyways, they use this song during one of my favorite scenes:

I'll forever associate this song with werewolves now, and this one too:


I think AWIL had like three different versions that play at different parts of the movie.

And finally, Elvis:

How cool would a werewolf movie set in the 1950s be? I'd love to make a tribute to the cheesy 1950s monster movies I love so much and use a soundtrack that's all rockabilly.

Alright, now I'm inspired. I'll start stewing up basic ideas for this script tonight and tomorrow and maybe write a bit of it down. So what do you think would be cooler, a badass modern take on the werewolf mythos, or a retro-homage set in the 50s?

Edit: For some reason Blogger hasn't been letting me post comments on my own blog, so don't think I'm ignoring any of you in the comments section!
