Okay, sitting in a hotel in Portland, OR...

Look in the mirror girl, by now you should know
You’re living in a fantasy, and you can’t let go
He never really loved you from the start
The only thing he ever gave you was a broken heart
Don’t be afraid to lose what was never meant to be
After the rain washes away the tears
And all the pain
Only after the rain
Can you live again
I know the emptiness you feel inside
You’re thinking if you break away, you’ll never survive
I’m waiting as my heart beats just for you
Come on and take my hand and I’ll pull you through
But things will never change until you want them to
After the rain washes away the tears
And all the pain
Only after the rain
Can you live again
You’ll see the sun appear to light the way
Only after the rain
Can you hope to find true love again
He never really loved you from the start
The only thing he ever gave you was a broken heart
Come on and take my hand and I’ll pull you through
You know the time has come for you to face the truth
After the rain washes away the tears
And all the pain
Only after the rain
Can you live again
You’ll see the sun appear to light the way
Only after the rain
Can you hope to find true love again
After the rain

Mama told me when I was young
Come sit beside me, my only son
And listen closely to what I say.
And if you do this
It will help you some sunny day.

Take your time... don't live too fast,
Troubles will come and they will pass.
Go find a woman and you'll find love,
And don't forget son,
There is someone up above.

(chorus)
And be a simple kind of man.
Be something you love and understand.
Be a simple kind of man.
Won't you do this for me son,
If you can?

Forget your lust for the rich mans gold
All that you need is in your soul,
And you can do this if you try.
All that I want for you my son,
Is to be satisfied.

(chorus)
And be a simple kind of man.
Be something you love and understand.
Be a simple kind of man.
Won't you do this for me son,
If you can?

Boy, don't you worry... you'll find yourself.
Follow you heart and nothing else.
And you can do this if you try.
All I want for you my son,
Is to be satisfied.

(chorus)
And be a simple kind of man.
Be something you love and understand.
Be a simple kind of man.
Won't you do this for me son,
If you can?

Now we're gonna tell you a little story
About the way we like to party - take ya on a trip!
HIT IT!

That's right

I'm goin' way down south where the big blue agave grow,
Takin' a weekend trip down to Baja, Mexico!
Where you can drink the water, but don't ya eat the ice,
Take your vitamin "T" with salt 'n lemon slice ...
I say,
One shot...Hey! Mas Tequila-
Two shots...Hey! Hey! que veneno-
Three shots...Hey! Arriba! Hey! Hey! Hey! Mas Tequila!
woo
She did a mean macarena to the funky cold medina
Behind a body shot and three margaritas.
She'll drink it straight from the bottle, terra cotta jug,
From a boda bag coppin' a major buzz.
I say,
One shot...Hey! Mas Tequila-
Two shots...Hey! Hey! que veneno-
Three shots...
Uno mas, bartender...one more...mas tequila!
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!
Yo can drink the water, but don't ya eat the ice;
Take your vitamin "T" with salt 'n lemon slice!
I say,
One shot...Hey! Mas Tequila-
Two shots...Hey!hey! Que veneno
Three shots...Hey!Arriba! Hey! Hey! Hey! Mas Tequila!
One shot...Hey! more tequila!
Two shots...Hey! Hey! que veneno!
Three shots... Hey! Ay yi yi yi yi ...
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
Mas Tequila!
No mas, no mas ....

Just dropped six grand today for an Alaskan cruise this summer. Me, the wife, the kids, and the mother in law. So romantic sounding I can hardly stand it.


Hope the ship has a good karaoke bar. I know where I'll be...

The mother in law? The fuckin' mother in law?

Jesus Christ on a pogo stick, bro.

Yup. Sweet lady, lo maintenance, gettin' old.

The wife loves her more thsn life itself. They're gonna have a great time. I'll have fun with the kids.

I tell ya, though. I need a chick who digs me. The wife ain't it.

Just finished off my pizza from earlier. Man, that mofo hit the spot!

I had old school soul food, bro.

Butter beans cooked with a piece of ham hock, cornbread, and cole slaw. Goddamnit, it was good!

When you step into this forum, you be ready to fight, or you dishonor the reason why we're here. Now remember this: When you flame a man, he's not your friend. Same goes when you lead men. I forgot that once. I let you get too close, all of you.

I dropped my guard. I gave some of you breaks, let some of you go, before the fight was really over. I let this board and this family disband, and we paid the price in members. That can't happen again.

It's time I started acting like an owner again.
So say we all.

Oh Jeezus...

This afternoon I wuz craving a fine margarita, but for the last couple hours I've felt like ass. 7:30 on a Friday night, livin' in Hawaii and all I wanted to do was crawl into bed.

And eat ice cream. I decided my body needed whatever is in ice cream, so I buggered down to the store and picked some up.

Boy was I ever right. I got about halfway through it and could feel my body coming back to life.

I'm probably still not going out--I've got to work Sunday--but my Friday plans are back on: Mix me up a fine margarita and pop in "The Matrix". It was on TV the other night and I forgot how good it is.

I have now gone from happy to angry, thanks to the blood of my forefathers being stirred. The anger of an angry daddy who doesn't care, the anger of a solider taking a long forgotten hill.

Anger like you have never known. Anger that can end worlds and destroy galaxies. Anger you can not fathom. Pure, unbridled rage. Anger that causes me to literally grit my teeth. Anger that causes me to flex my right hand, particularly my trigger finger.

The human animal is truly, staggeringly amazing.

We're capable of such amazing compassion, yet we're also capable of amazing brutality.

Are you clenching and unclenching your tiny, tiny fists of rage?

Eh. My landlord stopped by the other day and I let him take some of his movies. Apparently I let him take "The Matrix".

What can I say? He wanted 2 and 3 and I didn't. But I couldn't very well tell him he could have 2 & 3 but not 1, could I?

And I'd have been a bastard to hang onto 2 & 3--even though I knew I would never watch them.

So instead you mugs must entertain me.

eh, I'm cool now. The GF cooled me down, one of the many things she's good at.

I don't know man, maybe, just maybe:

Yeah, that was probably it.

My name is Elwood, I am the owner of Wordforge. Whatever else I am, whatever else it means, that's the man I want to be. And if I die today, that's the man I'll be.

You fuckin blue balled bastards. My night consisted of a couple beers, sex, sleep.
