your weakness is a wound that no one wants to speak of
your cool is just how far we have to fall
i am not immune-i only wanna be loved
but i feel safe behind the fire wall
can i loose my need to impress
if you want the truth, i need to confess

i'm not alright-broken inside, broken inside
and all i go thru-it leads me to you, it leads me to you

burn away the pride, bring me to my weakness
til everything i hide behind is gone
when i'm open wide with nothing left to cling to
only you are there to lead me on
cause honestly, i'm not that strong

i'm not alright-broken inside, broken inside
and all i go thru-it leads me to you, it leads me to you

(and now i'm moved, now i'm moved, now i'm moved)closer to you
(and now i'm moved, now i'm moved, now i'm moved)closer to you
(and now i'm moved, now i'm moved, now i'm moved)closer to you

i'm not alright-i'm broken inside, broken inside
i'm broken inside, broken inside
and all i go thru leads me to you, leads me to you

i'm not alright-i'm not alright-i'm not alright
thats why i need you

I like Pens.

I like stick pens better than ballpoint pens. I like pens better than pencils. I like No. 2 Ticonderogas the best. I like wooden pencils better than mechanical pencils unless I am doing math homework, in which case I would prefer a mechanical pencil but will settle for a wooden one. Writing a paper with a mechanical pencil is completely out of the question. I would prefer a stick pen to write a paper, but I will use a wooden pencil as long as it is sharp, in which case I will move to a clicky pen; if there is no clicky pen, I will commit a travesty against all that is good and holy about pencils and write with a mechanical pencil.

I like Pens.

Goldenrod and the 4H stone,
the things I brought you,
when I found out you had cancer of the bone

Your father cried on the telephone,
and he drove his car into the navy yard,
just to prove that he was sorry

In the morning, through the window shade,
when the light pressed up against your shoulderblade,
I could see what you were reading.

All the glory that the Lord has made,
and the complications you could do without,
when I kissed you on the mouth.

Tuesday night at the Bible study,
we lift our hands and pray over your body,
but nothing ever happens.

I remember at Michael's house,
in the living room when you kissed my neck,
and I almost touched your blouse.

In the morning at the top of the stairs,
when your father found out what we did that night,
and you told me you were scared.

All the glory when you ran outside,
with your shirt tucked in and your shoes untied,
and you told me not to follow you.

Sunday night when I cleaned the house,
I find the card where you wrote it out,
with the pictures of you mother.

On the floor at the great divide,
with my shirt tucked in and my shoes untied,
I am crying in the bathroom.

In the morning when you finally go,
and the nurse runs in with her head hung low,
and the cardinal hits the window.

In the morning in the winter shade,
on the 1st of March on the holiday,
I thought I saw you breathing.

All the glory that the Lord has made,
and the complications when I see His face,
in the morning in the window.

All the glory when he took our place,
but he took my shoulders and he shook my face,
and he takes and he takes and he takes.

The Death with Dignity Act, an act which allows the euthanizing of patients with terminal illnesses that are residents of the state of Oregon, was upheld by a 6-3 vote by the Supreme Court on January 17th. The DWDA allows a terminally ill patient to request that their doctor prescribe a lethal dose of medication in order to allow them to die with "dignity" instead of wasting away to the point of dependency. Other states are currently discussing making an act similar to the DWDA a part of their legislation. Those in support of the decision argue that it is a patient and citizen's constitutional right to be able to die with this "dignity" because it falls under the "pursuit of happiness."

I find it very difficult to reconcile any kind of euthanizing of humans with Scripture, but I find it almost as difficult to find a reason that an atheist or agnostic would easily accept. I know that life is precious and that euthanasia is as much murder as shooting a man in cold blood. However, I see so many people that are so entrenched in their belief that euthanasia is dignified that I do not see any way short of an act of God to turn them from their beliefs. Besides, who am I to tell someone what is and what is not right? That would be judging (and, obviously, I am being facetious to illustrate a point). Until the nation returns to a belief in an absolute truth, we will struggle with such issues as this. The God of America, the faceless, mindless, being that has been created at the expense of not only the True God but also His Son, cannot save us from the atrocities that will be committed under the DWDA and other decisions by our government.

North by Northwest!

Thu, 19 Jan 2006 03:08:33 GMT

My favorite movie of all the Hitchcock films we have watched these past three weeks, though difficult to choose, would have to be "North by Northwest." (1959) Cary Grant is one of my favorite actors of "older" movies, and he performs brilliantly in this film. Also, Eva Marie Saint, following the trend of incredibly attractive blonde women in Hitchcock's movies, is an extremely convincing double agent as well as really, really good-looking.

"North by Northwest" dealt with one of Hitchcock's favorite situations: the mistaken or assumed identity. Many of his films deal with this topic. Roger O. Thornhill (Grant) is mistaken for an FBI agent and is chased across America by spies who wish to see him disposed of. In the end, Thornhill plays the part, and in cooperation with Eve Kendall (Saint), they foil the spies' plans to give away government microfilm ot the Russians.

One of the things that made "North by Northwest" stand out to me over my other two favorite films, "Notorious" (1946) and "Vertigo" (1958), was the soundtrack. While "Vertigo" had a soundtrack that rivaled that of "North of Northwest," I found that the latter's was much more fast-paced and exciting, and made my heart race as much as the movie itself did and was a perfect compliment.

Also, the mistaken identity that Hitchcock visits again and again was fascinating, and seeing the transformation from the advertising executive with an inability to commit to the spy-chasing secret agent who gets the girl is both exciting and medicinal. I love to see the good guy get the girl.

The best scene in the movie for me, although a tad hokey, was the chase scene across Mount Rushmore because of the music and the thrill it gave me wondering what was going to happen. I never thought that Cary Grant would have to end up winning and getting the girl because the rest of the movie was so unpredictable, and I was kept on the edge of my seat.

The theme I found most interesting in this movie was that of a man not being able to commit to a relationship. Thornhill has been married twice before but was not able to make those marriages work, and his apparent one-night stand with Eve Kendall show that he is not able to commit to a relationship, but after the two have foiled the plans of the spies, they end up together, marking the end of the transformation of Thornhill. His change is most well seen when he is trying to get Kendall to stay in America instead of going abroad as an agent with the spies. He is so adamant that to be restrained from Kendall, he is knocked out.

London-born director Alfred Hitchcock was credited as the master of suspense in the film world. Hitchcock's ability to manipulate the viewer through the actions of the actors on the screen was brilliant and near-unprecedented in film in his time.

Hitchcock had an uncanny way of taking an ordinary object and making it an ominous. He most often did this with staircases. Found in many of his movies, a set of stairs usually represented a hidden danger, an unseen twist, or an intense situation for the characters in the film. A good example of this is Cary Grant's ascent up the stairs of his home in "Suspicion" (1941). Lina (Joan Fontaine), suspects her husband Johnnie (Grant) of wanting to murder her, and as she lies sick in her bed, Johnnie walks slowly and menacingly up the long stair case of their house with a glass of milk that may or may not have some kind of poison in it.

Another prime example of Hitchcock's use of stairs is in the 1958 thriller, "Vertigo." John Ferguson (James Stewart) is chasing his love, Madeleine Elster (Kim Novak), up a long and winding staircase in a San Fransisco mission. Ferguson, because of his vertigo, is unable to get all the way to the top, and Elster throws herself off the top to her death. The scene at the staircase in the mission is repeated at the end of the movie with twice the suspense because of the complication of Judy Barton (Novak) being the Madeleine that Ferguson had fallen in love with.

Hitchcock was fascinated with the concept of murder, and, more specifically, the perfect murder. This concept was discussed or touched upon in "Suspicion," (1941) "Shadow of a Doubt," (1943) "Notorious," (1946), "Rope," (1948) "Strangers on a Train," (1951) "Dial M for Murder," (1954) and "Rear Window" (1954) among others. Frequently brought up was the possibilty of the perfect murder, although it usually ended in that perfect murder being impossible because one could never anticipate what could go wrong in their plot.

Hitchcock also was notorious for his inclusion of sexual innuendos in his movies. Powerfully subtle, alot of them are not noticed at first glance, but it seemed that Hitchcock had some minor preoccupation with sex as well as homosexuality. Some instances of this are the butch woman in the suit in "Suspicion," the effeminate accomplice of Vandamm in "North by Northwest," (1959) or the ending scene of the train driving into the tunnel at the end of the same movie.

Hitchcock was keyed in to how to make his viewers get into the scene and how to make a scene suspenseful. Even today, more than a quarter century after his death, he is still making viewers jump, for, as he said, "There is no terror in the bang, only in the anticipation of it."

I'm taking suggestions for a band name. Best suggestions will go in a hat (literal or figurative - I'm not sure which yet) and we will most likely choose our name at random. The name should reflect a band of five high school guys that all play mellow-type guitar music with some hott-sounding piano, but not be too sappy or emotional-y.

Right now our leading suggestions are "C5" and "Waterstop." Also, "The Ricardos" and "Seven Ate Nine" are cool sounding.

Let us know what you think. We'll take votes for the already existing ones and put the new suggestions in the list, too.

Happy brainstorming.

Today, kids, the topic of the day is "Guam."

Guam is a small island in the middle of some ocean, and it constantly is moving because of violent volcanic activity. As of right now, it is somewhere off the coast of Spain and/or the Aleutian Islands. There are many savages there, and the main cash crop is bananas. It is generally not considered property of any one nation because of its migratory habits, although the mighty People's Republic of Zanzibar once tried to lay claim to its lush tropical landscape and white sands. Lagoons heated by hot, flowing magma serve as natural hot tubs for those willing to pay the 20-banana-per-person fee that the natives charge for its yearly use. There is little animal activity that could threaten the life of a human, the main population of animals being that of the exotic pygmy wombat.

More next week, kiddies.
