Tragedy

I've been thinking about what happened today, but I can't think of anything to say.

So I am going to quote President Obama.

 "The majority of those who died today were children — beautiful little kids between the ages of 5 and 10 years old. They had their entire lives ahead of them — birthdays, graduations, weddings, kids of their own. Among the fallen were also teachers — men and women who devoted their lives to helping our children fulfill their dreams."

 "So our hearts are broken today — for the parents and grandparents, sisters and brothers of these little children, and for the families of the adults who were lost. ..."

The More Things Change The More They Stay The Same

I've been doing some thinking. It is true that the economy isn't doing well, but that doesn't mean that things aren't going to get better. Although things could still get worse before then. I, however, hope that it gets better sooner rather than later. Like so many people out there I am currently unemployed, not for lack of trying. I mean, by my own count I have sent out over 60 resumes and or applications and of those gotten only 4 or 5 hits, in terms of call backs and interviews. I don't know. It is sad and depressing, but at the sometime maybe it is a good thing. Maybe the job I am really looking for is still out there and by some odd chance I am going to get it. Or maybe nothing will happen at all. All I know at this point is that discouragement and feeling down aren't the way to go. As hard as it is to put a happy spin or a smiling face on the situation, that is just what I have to do. I need to know that there will be something good around the corner. I guess in a way I've been putting myself and those around me in a rut. All I've done lately is talk about what I am doing, or trying to do and how I am getting nothing in return. In essence I bitch, moan, and complain and all those around me suffer. I want to foremost say that I am truly sorry. I don't want to disappoint anyone or let anyone down and I am sometimes afraid that is exactly what I am doing. There are some days, and they are such long days, that I just sit in my apartment and I can't do anything. I guess maybe that's the wrong idea. I should say I lose all interest. I spend most of my day at home cleaning up, and then I spend the rest of my time looking for jobs, but I have to be honest it sometimes doesn't take up my whole day and I just sit and do nothing sometimes. Even TV doesn't interest me. That is probably the low point. I'll be honest if it wasn't for the fact that we have a dog I probably would go crazy. Even with his company I sometimes just want to scream and cry. I hate it and I want it to end. That is why I know it is going to get better and I hope it is going to get better and I pray that it is going to get better and I just really want it to get better. So now the question, when is it finally going to get better? The answer: " ". Exactly no one ones, and no guess is justifiable, unless you're just the worlds best economist, which I am not.

David Tennant quits as Doctor Who

David Tennant is to stand down as Doctor Who, after becoming one of the most popular Time Lords in the history of the BBC science fiction show.

Tennant stepped into the Tardis in 2005, and will leave the role after four special episodes are broadcast next year.

He made the announcement after winning the outstanding drama performance prize at the National Television Awards.

"When Doctor Who returns in 2010 it won't be with me," he said.

"Now don't make me cry," he added. "I love this part, and I love this show so much that if I don't take a deep breath and move on now I never will, and you'll be wheeling me out of the Tardis in my bath chair."

'I'll miss it'


Three years was "about the right time" to play the role, he told the BBC in an exclusive interview.

"I think it's better to go when there's a chance that people might miss you, rather than to hang around and outstay your welcome," he said.

His stint in the show had been "the most extraordinary time, it's been bewildering, life changing, very exciting", he said.

"And just so much fun, such a great show to work on.

"That's one of the reasons I think it's right to take a deep breath and bow out when it's still fun, when it's a novelty.

"I don't ever want it to feel like a job, so I want to move on when it still feels exciting and fresh and that means I'll miss it."

Drama award

Tennant, the 10th actor to play the Doctor Who, left fans guessing about his return at the end of the latest series.

In the last episode, in July, the Doctor had to defeat his enemies the Daleks to save the universe.

Almost 10 million people watched as the Time Lord apparently started the process of regeneration - but did not complete it.

Tennant will appear in a Christmas special, titled The Next Doctor, before filming four more specials in January.

"They'll be the four last stories that I do," he said.

In a sign of his popularity, he was voted best drama performer in a public vote at the National Television Awards.

He has been named most popular actor at the same ceremony for the past two years. That prize has been discontinued this year.

An average of 8.1 million people a week watched the latest series - the fourth since it made a comeback in 2005 - in its Saturday evening slot on BBC One.

'Spectacular' exit

Russell T Davies, executive producer, said: "I've been lucky and honoured to work with David over the past few years - and it's not over yet, the Tenth Doctor still has five spectacular hours left!

"After which, I might drop an anvil on his head. Or maybe a piano. A radioactive piano. But we're planning the most enormous and spectacular ending, so keep watching."

A fifth series of the show is scheduled for 2010.

Tennant replaced Christopher Eccleston, who resurrected the show after a 16-year break.

Tennant made his name in TV dramas such as Blackpool and Casanova.

He started his career in theatre and in recent months has returned to the stage with well-received performances in Hamlet and Love's Labour's Lost for the Royal Shakespeare Company.

In December last year, Tennant denied rumours that he was planning to quit after Catherine Tate - his new companion in the Tardis - told the Jonathan Ross radio show she thought the next series of Doctor Who would be Tennant's last.

He said at the time: "Catherine Tate stitched me up good and proper. She goes on Jonathan Ross and makes up a load of old nonsense."

Honey Bees are dying

Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD) is the name given to the recent and seemingly most serious mortality of honey bee colonies across US. It is characterized by, sudden death of adult bees with an absence of dead bees in front of colony entrances. Honey and stored pollen are usually present and often signs of recent brood rearing. Occasionally, the queen and a small number of surviving adult workers are present in the brood nest area. It is also characterized by delayed robbing and a slower than usual invasion by common pests such as wax moths and small hive beetles.

The exact cause or causes of CCD have not yet been determined. The results of two large surveys have identified more likely causal factors and eliminated some unlikely factors.Honey bee colony numbers in the U.S.A. have been in decline for decades. From 1947 to 2005 number of managed bee colonies has decreased by over 40%, from 5.9 million to 2.4 million. Beekeepers with CCD are reporting losses of 30% to 90%. Losses due to CCD are compounding an already serious shortage of bees for pollination while the demand for pollination services continues to increase for fruit, nut and, vegetable crops, especially almonds. Colony shortages were so critical that in 2005 honey bees were imported from outside the U.S. for the first time in 83 years since the passage of the Honeybee Act of 1922.

Basically, honey bees are dying and everyone from Universities to Häagen Dazs are trying to figure out why and fix it.

The reason I bring this up is because of some bizarre thing I noticed a while ago, which may or may not be related. Two massive trucks going South on US HWY 69 carrying, you guessed it, bees.








It may be hard to see, but these trucks were carrying bees, I could see them, but I was taking these pictures with my cell phone.

You know...

I sometimes don't understand myself, at all and I don't know why. There is just something slightly confusing in that, don't you think? I mean if you can't even understand your own thoughts or actions.

I guess sometimes I am torn, heavily, by my actions. Is there some part of me that really thinks or acts this way or is it all random, or extremely spontaneous. That is not a common repeated form of action. I certainly hope so.

I mean, I don't think I am a bad person. I try not to do anything bad. However, I guess no one can be totally pious and good. I suppose anyway.

I don't really know where I am going with this, I just feel a little better having written it, perhaps more later...

This is a good song

Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word


Music by Elton John
Lyrics by Bernie Taupin
Available on the album Blue Moves

What have I got to do to make you love me
What have I got to do to make you care
What do I do when lightning strikes me
And I wake to find that you're not there

What do I do to make you want me
What have I got to do to be heard
What do I say when it's all over
And sorry seems to be the hardest word

It's sad, so sad
It's a sad, sad situation
And it's getting more and more absurd
It's sad, so sad
Why can't we talk it over
Oh it seems to me
That sorry seems to be the hardest word

What do I do to make you love me
What have I got to do to be heard
What do I do when lightning strikes me
What have I got to do
What have I got to do
When sorry seems to be the hardest word

Friday TV Corner Episode 1

Okay, so in doing this weekly daily post thing. Fridays I am talking about Television. Something I watch too much of. So here are just a few of my thoughts.

That 70s Show is over. Oh well. It kind of sucked that last season anyway.
Alias is also over. Same really. However I am glad that there was closure with all that stuff.
NCIS, Gibbs left, what the hell. That is so, well it just sucks. I hope it makes it next season.
CSI, WOW, that one threw me off gaurd, anyone else? Grissom and Sara? An item? Well there goes any thought of reason I would've had. Well whatever works for CBS I guess.
Lets see what else.
Oh on Grey's Anatomy Izzy apperantly left after the whole heart guy deal. Oh well, no big loss.
Boston Legal was humorous in its ending. That is all I can say about that.
Lost, now that was, well lets just say very good. I can't wait for next season. I don't want to spoil that for people who didn't see.
The Unit, seems to have ended its season, which is okay, its a good show and I hope to see it come back.
I am a little sad at the apperant cancellation of Heist. I was looking forward to that NBC show.
This summer I am looking forward to the 4400, the Closer, the Sci-Fi shows of course.
All should be good.

here now

well, as if my week couldn't have ended on a more awkward note:

School ended last Friday for us, (that is the 5th) and so we got all moved out of our apartments. I then spend a week with my lovely and beautiful girlfriend (see post below) but I just end up leaving. I am not at my parents home in Fort Belvoir.

I am sad and happy and just plain confused.

I hate air travel...so loud, so many people.

Here now and all is well, but I am sad. However, I plan on getting a job and working for school. So yeah!!

Well see what happens.

Miss you all.

I Love This Girl

Chelsea is the best. I don't know what I did to deserve her, but I am so glad to be with her. I will be away from her this summer, though only for 9 weeks, but the thought is killing me. I hope she really knows how I feel, and how much I am going to miss her, because I love her so much. She means the world to me. I don't want to go, but well I am going, and I wish it didn't have to be that way. I will feel an empty spot, when she is no longer there, but it will be okay because she still loves me and I still love her.

Of course what I really want to know is how this girl puts up with me. I mean my friends and aquaintances know, I am just well, so damn annoying. Of course I am also just a bastard sometimes. I do things and say things you just shouldn't say. Of course, I think most guys do that.

She is just so great. I think about her all the time. I am there to comfort her when she feels sad and I am there to make her laugh when she needs some laughter. I am there to listen to her when she needs to talk. I just enjoy spending time with her. I love being with her. A moment with her is so wonderful. Time does, in fact, fly when I am around her.Even when she is dramatic I love her. Her drama is something wonderful and amazing. Chelsea wouldn't be Chelsea if she didn't have all of her little things that make her who she is. I like everything about her, even the things she doesn't like. Of course, there isn't really anything about her you can't like. She has the most infectious smile. The most gorgeous eyes. The lovliest hair, and it smells good too. And her voice, is soft and sweet and makes you swoon when you hear it. I think she is just the most amazing and wonderful girl.
Chelsea, I love you.

8 Cases of Barq's Famous Olde Tyme Root Beer

So, on Tuesday, the 28th of February 2006 C.E. I went to Super Wal Mart and using my last four coupons, purchased 8 cases of the good stuff. As the coupon stipulated $1 off with the purchase of 2 and since it cost me $2.98 a pack that is a fairly good deal.

So, two of the cases were stuffed in the fridge and the other six in a cabinet above the fridge.

I am sad to say that the first case is almost empty.

Seriously.

I think it was all worth it.

Simpsons, funny...

I just saw a funny Simpsons episode...

Ms. Krabopel: You and I are too different
Comic Book Guy: I don't understand
Ms. Krabopel: It's like I am D.C. Comics and you are Marvel
Comic Book Guy: I totally understand
Comic Book Guy then looks very sad.

So FUNNY.

Also that might not be an exact quote, but like I can remember anything.

And I Find It Kind Of Funny I Find It Kind Of Sad

I don't know what it is, but I really like this song. So damn good. Thanks to allofmp3.com I found and listened to the original 1982 Version by Tears for Fears. Very Very Different it is.

Also, spelling errors will pop up all over this blog, so quit complaining damnit...

WHY THE HELL WOULD I EVER SPELL CHECK, I hate you people, live with it.....

Your Benevolent and Omnipotent Leader,

End at the beginning, Begin at the end

Thank You! I genuinely mean that. Thank you for everything.

I am writing this in AbiWord because at present blogger does not appear to be up. I will hopefully have it in blogger by the time you read this, because if you can read this while I am typing it in AbiWord then my security flaws are greater than even could've believed.

I am in a quasi mood of sadness, hate, joy and fear all at once. My WinAmp playlist is currently comprised of Gary Jules' version of "Mad World", Green Day's "Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life)", Semisonic's "Closing Time" and the Eagle's "Desperado". So tell me would you agree with my assertion that I am currently not sure what feelings I am experiencing?

Each song has its own uniqueness to it. Each song speaks from a different point of view about a different subject, but they all share something. Each song is equally good, imho. Of course of the four Desperado is my favorite. Desperado is the song you let a suicidal person listen to right before they jump, pull the trigger, kick the bucket/chair, etc., and if they really mean it you'll know by how they react to the song. To be honest I don't really know what I am talking about, but I obviously wrote for one reason or another.

I would love to have a psychologist or psychiatrist or someone who understand the human mind better than I a simple lay person. It is amazing isn't it. We posses what we assume is one of the greatest mental abilities of any other creature on this planet and yet we know next to nothing about it really. What does that say about us really? Well for one we are not omnipotent as some would like to believe they are. Also we are not all geniuses, you know just because you know and or understand something doesn't make you smart. Intelligence comes from the application of dormant knowledge. That is to say, I for example know, oh, so many things, but it is only dormant knowledge. It means nothing in the grand scheme of things. If I can actively use and apply that knowledge towards a greater good, that would show true intelligence. Man can know and understand all "Godly" facts, but if man does not use that knowledge to the best of his ability he is no smarter than a programmed automaton who only recalls and delivers the information IT has been programmed to know and possibly understand.

Well by now the songs are on their second play through thanks to the repeat all button. Okay, now here is something I have been trying to figure out for a while. Why are so many people blinded wholly by their faith. It is true that I ask this as cynic in regards to understanding their point of view, but I just don't understand. How can any one person have faith in something that can not be proved definitively. And yes I also realize that gravity is not a definitive thing either, being a theory and all, but people do believe it exists. However, in that instance it is declared a THEORY, where as some people take their religion as undeniable fact. I mean, my God, why? Funny, huh? But, seriously why do people have such strong convictions in these things? I'll be honest sometimes I wish I had faith in something, so I could at least partially understand the devoutly religious. That unfortunately won't happen. I have, as some of you may know, lost all faith in my fellow man. Now, as a precursor, this only due to the fact that I can completely question existence and not get an answer and this is no ones fault. Perhaps humanity was never supposed to understand itself. Perhaps even trying to do so is folly. Maybe we should all continue to live our sheltered existence alone on this planet until a time comes when we can actively understand the truth of the situation.

Sometimes I wonder if I am on a drug that I am not aware of, I just went back and read what I wrote, but I get nothing from it. I find it to be pointless and with out cause. I don't know, maybe I am bi-polar or something. Maybe, I shouldn't question myself. Perhaps there is a reason for all this that just doesn't make sense right now.

At least one thing can always be certain for the time we have here, everyday starts new and ends new. The same thing never really happens again. Sure there are similarities, but nothing is ever the same. That is one thing we can always count on, not that this is necessarily a good thing or a bad thing, but we can count on it. Now to say that that is pure randomness or fate is not up to me. I am not controller or caretaker of the Universe or the earth for that matter. I can't even say for certain that any of this is real. That we aren't merely the creation of something or someone in a temporal plane of existence unknown to us. The world is an odd place. Yes, there are cycles and their repetition, but each cycle and repetition is imperfect or flawed when compared to its predecessor. This is the beauty of life. There is no pattern, but their is no randomness. Everything happens for a distinct reason and has a distinct cause, but nothing happens by fate and their are millions upon millions of probabilities for every action to prove that. As an example I submit to you this, when you wake up in the morning you are presented with choices, most of them unknown to you, but they are. You can proceed with your day, as though it were any other day, or you could go to sleep, or you could down the hall and beat the neighbor who plays the loud music, or you could jump out of a window, or you could do any one of a myriad of things. That is, absolutely nothing is set in stone. Ever. Even the stuff that is set in stone can be lost forever.

I don't know where I was going with this. I hope you don't mind the fact that I went on so long. I would like to take the time to thank my readers for reading this blog. I don't know who you are, but I would like it a lot if you said hi. Either with a comment, you can post anonymously, or with an instant message or even by e-mail. I am always here to listen to criticism, I only ask you keep it clean or I will have to delete it.

And now, because I did listen to them, here are the four songs:

Mad World - Gary Jules

All around me are familiar faces

Worn out places

Worn out faces

Bright and early for the daily races

Going no where

Going no where

Their tears are filling up their glasses

No expression

No expression

Hide my head I wanna drown my sorrow

No tomorrow

No tomorrow

And I find it kind of funny

I find it kind of sad

The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had

I find it hard to tell you

I find it hard to take

When people run in circles its a very very

Mad world

Mad world

Children waiting for the day they feel good

Happy birthday

Happy birthday

And I feel the way that every child should

Sit and listen

Sit and listen

Went to school and I was very nervous

No one knew me

No one knew me

Hello teacher tell me what's my lesson

Look right through me

Look right through me

And I find it kind of funny

I find it kind of sad

The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had

I find it hard to tell you

I find it hard to take

When people run in circles its a very very

Mad world

Mad world

Enlarging your world

Mad world

"Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life)"

Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road

Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go

So make the best of this test, and don't ask why

It's not a question, but a lesson learned in time

It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right.

I hope you had the time of your life.

So take the photographs, and still frames in your mind

Hang it on a shelf in good health and good time

Tattoos of memories and dead skin on trial

For what it's worth it was worth all the while

It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right.

I hope you had the time of your life.

It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right.

I hope you had the time of your life.

It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right.

I hope you had the time of your life.

Closing time - time for you to go out, go out into the world.

Closing time - turn the lights up over every boy and every girl.

Closing time - one last call for alcohol, so finish your whiskey or beer.

Closing time - you don't have to go home but you can't stay here.

I know who I want to take me home.

I know who I want to take me home.

I know who I want to take me home.

Take me home...

Closing time - time for you to go back to the places you will be from.

Closing time - this room won't be open 'til your brothers or you sisters

come.

So gather up your jackets, and move it to the exits - I hope you have found

a

friend.

Closing time - every new beginning comes from some other beginning'send.

Yeah, I know who I want to take me home.

I know who I want to take me home.

I know who I want to take me home.

Take me home...

Closing time - time for you to go back to the places you will be from...

I know who I want to take me home.

I know who I want to take me home.

I know who I want to take me home.

Take me home...

Closing time - every new beginning comes from some other beginning'send...

"Desperado"

Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?

You been out ridin' fences for so long now

Oh, you're a hard one

I know that you got your reasons

These things that are pleasin' you

Can hurt you somehow

Don't you draw the queen of diamonds, boy

She'll beat you if she's able

You know the queen of hearts is always your best bet

Now it seems to me, some fine things

Have been laid upon your table

But you only want the ones that you can't get

Desperado, oh, you ain't gettin' no younger

Your pain and your hunger, they're drivin' you home

And freedom, oh freedom well, that's just some people talkin'

Your prison is walking through this world all alone

Don't your feet get cold in the winter time?

The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine

It's hard to tell the night time from the day

You're losin' all your highs and lows

Ain't it funny how the feeling goes away?

Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?

Come down from your fences, open the gate

It may be rainin', but there's a rainbow above you

You better let somebody love you, before it's too late

Tommorrow is Yesterday's Today?

It makes me wonder sometimes, why?

I want to clarify, that at no time, while blogging, or before or after for that matter, was I on any form of drug, aside from caffeine, which I shouldn't take for personal health reasons.

This is all part of my regular thought process.

----

The above post was to answer my first "blog fan question" by someone who I shall not mention, as they did not give me their name. Anyway....

I do wonder, why would someone think I need to take drugs to alter my state of reality. I learned long ago that I live in my own fantasy world. I mean for goodness sake, I trust the government, not completely, or that is more to say I actually have faith that they will do good. Of course my idealism is quickly shattered by pravda and then I become depressed and sad.

After I decide that ending it isn't an option, I go on believing that things can only get better from here on out and then they only get worse or sometimes, just every now and then, a glimmering spot comes around and something good happens for a change. It makes me so sick to think that really the world is really horror and disgust with an occasional "sunny day." But I think we have all just learned to live with it, either that or bottle it all away, as I have.

Of course, if this life was meant to be enjoyed most of us probably wouldn't be here. However in the end, everything is about the material world and possesion, which leads to power and idle promises, which leads to suffering and pain, which leads to hate and destruction, but ultimately a rebirth, though never in a new direction. Only a repetition of the same old thing.

Everything has already happened, and everything will happen again. There isn't a damn thing we can do to stop it and that is the way things are.

Now -- a song --

Heaven
A gateway to hope
Just like a feeling
I need, it's no joke

And though it hurts me
To see you this way
Betrayed by words
I'd never heard
Too hard to say them

Up, down, turn around; please don't let me hit the ground
Tonight I think I'll walk alone; find my soul as I go home

Up, down, turn around; please don't let me hit the ground
Tonight I think I'll walk alone; find my soul as I go home

Oh it's the last time, it's the last time
Oh it's the last time, it's the last time

Each way I turn
I know I'll always try
To break the circle
That has been placed round me

From time to time
I find I lost
Some meaning
That was urgent
To myself
I do believe

Oh, up, down, turn around; please don't let me hit the ground
Tonight I think I'll walk alone; find my soul as I go home

Oh, up, down, turn around; please don't let me hit the ground
Tonight I think I'll walk alone; find my soul as I go home

Oh it's the last time, it's the last time
Oh it's the last time, it's the last time

And I have never met anyone quite like you before
And I've never met anyone quite like you before

And I have never met anyone quite like you before
And I've never met anyone quite like you before

And I've never met anyone quite like you before
Oh, up, down, turn around; please don't let me hit the ground
Tonight I think I'll walk alone; find my soul as I go home

And I never met anyone quite like you before
Up, down, turn around; please don't let me hit the ground
Tonight I think I'll walk alone; find my soul as I go home

Up, down, turn around; please don't let me hit the ground
Tonight I think I'll walk alone; find my soul as I go home

Up, down, turn around; please don't let me hit the ground
Tonight I think I'll walk alone; find my soul as I go home

Beam him up, God!

Well, If you don't already know, James Doohan, Star Trek's Scotty, has passed at the age of 85.


Quite sad a day this is.

What's so bad about a third party?

I mean, why is it in the U.S. that a third party is looked at with malice and disdain? Why are people so afraid of another choice, another option, anything is better than voter apathy. I mean sure last election something close to half of eligeble voters showed up to cast a ballot, but considering, that is still pretty damn bad.

I just don't understand the mindset, I guess. In so many other democratic countries, particularly in Europe, there are numerous parties, that have to work together and make compromises with one another to get things done. I can certainly say that sounds a lot better then the bitter partisanship found in the U.S. I mean seriously, what is so wrong with having another say? Isn't that the whole point of democracy? I mean no where does it say in stone that two political parties is all we can have, sure it may be all most Americans want to endure, but that doesn't make it a bad thing.

For God's sake most Americans are too stupid to even understand who the political process completely works. They have no idea all the things a Congressperson or Senator has to do, and at the same time they don't know how little some do to begin with. The whole situation is sad and disgusting.

Talking to myself....

I am just sitting here right now, talking to myself, as I usually do, so it isn't very different from most of the time, but something seems off.

I mean why? It doesn't make anysense for any one to talk to themselves does it?

Well perhaps the mentally disturbed, good point, or a child, also a good point, but a normal person that is unlikely. Damn!

See that is exactly what I was talking about. I know, I am watching you type it out.

Would you please stop. No, you stop. No, you stop first. Oh! This is getting nowhere...

Does anyone know a good psychiatrist? Oh well, see you later.

Peter Parker was pitiful
Couldn't have been any shyer
Mary Jane still wouldn't notice him
Even if his hair was on fire

But then one day he went to that science lab
That mutated spider came down
Oh, and now Peter crawls over everyone's walls
And he's swingin' all over town

La li la, li de da
La la, li le la da dum

Sling us a web, you're the Spider-Man
Sling us a web tonight
'Cause we're all in the mood for a hero now
And there's evil doers to fight

Now Harry the rich kid's a friend of his
Who horns in on Mary Jane
But to his great surprise it seems she prefers guys
Who can kiss upside down in the rain

"With great power comes great responsibility"
That's the catch phrase of old Uncle Ben
If you missed it, don't worry, they'll say the line
Again and again and again

Oh, la la la, di de da
La la, di di da da dom

Now Norman's a billionare scientist
Who never had time for his son
But then something went screw and before you knew he
Was trying to kill everyone

And he's ridin' around on that glider thing
And he's throwin' that weird pumpkin bomb
Yes, he's wearin' that dumb Power Rangers mask
But he's scarier without it on

Sling us a web, you're the Spider-Man
Sling us a web tonight
'Cause you're brave and you're strong and so limber now
But where'd you come up with those tights?

It's a pretty sad day at the funeral
Norman Osborn has bitten the dust
And I heard Harry's said he wants Spider-Man dead
Aw, but his buddy Pete he can trust

Oh, and M.J. is all how for Peter now
Aw, but Peter, he just shuts her down
Mary Jane, don't you cry, you can give it a try
Again when the sequal comes 'round

Oh, la la la, di de da
La la, di di da da dum

Sling us a web, you're the Spider-Man
Sling us a web tonight
'Cause we all sure could use us a hero now
And we think that you'll do all right

I don't have a clue

I'm so very tired. It's almost all the time now.
