Who Am I? by Carl Sandburg
My head knocks against the stars.
My feet are on the hilltops.
My finger-tips are in the valleys and shores of
universal life.
Down in the sounding foam of primal things I
reach my hands and play with pebbles of
destiny.
I have been to hell and back many times.
I know all about heaven, for I have talked with God.
I dabble in the blood and guts of the terrible.
I know the passionate seizure of beauty
And the marvelous rebellion of man at all signs
reading “Keep Off.”
My name is Truth and I am the most elusive captive
in the universe.

Take It Where You Find It
Men saw the stars at the edge of the sea
They thought great thoughts about liberty
Poets wrote down words that did fit
Writers wrote books
Thinkers thought about it
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
Many’s the road I have walked upon
Many’s the hour between dusk and dawn
Many’s the time
Many’s the mile
I see it all now
Through the eyes of a child
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
[Chorus]
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
And close your eyes
Leave it all for a while
Leave the world
And your worries behind
You will build on whatever is real
And wake up each day
To a new waking dream
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
[Chorus]
Change, change come over
Change come over
Talkin’ about a change
Change, change
Change come over, now
Change, change, change come over
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light

Japanese: not nuked nearly enough! No kamikaze pilots coming out of this generation. F##k Japan hard.
Maybe it helps that I don’t understand a word, but-
It beats the hell out of Justin Beiber and/or Eminem!
Also- the guy seems a lot more masculine than either of those losers, and definitely more than the ex-Bruce Jenner, for whatever that’s worth! (Full disclosure: I’m a Babymetal fan. Accept no substitutes!)
As was pointed out elsewhere, the girls may not, in fact, be qualified economists. Then again, Paul Krugman is.
Frank Zappa did it before time began.
pbird, so maybe the guy in the video is the idiot bastard son?
Nice one, Harry. Trivial trivia level: expert.

Quit your fuckin whining, grow a pair, start your own thing, keep ALL the coin.
It’s the easiest thing in the world to do here in the merry old land of oz but nobody has any nutz and all the lazy asses can do is piss and moan and beg. I got no sympathy for people unwilling to help themselves.
