Hmm, was that thunder?

Too funny:

We’ve been datin’ since high school we never once left this town
we use to go out on the weekends and we’d drink ’til we drowned
but now she’s acting funny and I don’t understand
I think that she’s found her some other man

chorus:
she left me for Jesus and that just ain’t fair
she says that He’s perfect, how could I compare
she says I should find Him and I’ll know peace at last
if I ever find Jesus I’m kickin’ his ass

she showed me a picture all I could do was stare
at that freak in his sandals with his long pretty hair
they must think that I’m stupid or I don’t have a clue
I’ll bet hes a commie or ever worse yet - a jew

repeat chorus
she left me for Jesus and that just ain’t fair
she says that He’s perfect, how could I compare
she says I should find Him and I’ll know peace at last
if I ever find Jesus I’m kickin’ his ass

she’s given up whiskey and ah takin up wine
while she prays for his troubles she’s forgot about mine
I’m a gonna get even I can’t handle the shame
why last time we made love she even called out his name

repeat chorus
she left me for Jesus and that just ain’t fair
she says that He’s perfect, how could I compare
she says I should find Him and I’ll know peace at last
if I ever find Jesus I’m kickin’ his ass

it coulda been Carlos or even Billy Ortez
but if I ever find Jesus
hes gonna wish he was dead

amen

Go! Speed! Racer!

OMG, it’s like being in a paint mixer with some candy thrown in. But
what a ride!

I loved it. And yes, I teared up about Rex. Dammit.

(oh, and Trixie has never looked better, I say)

My kids wanna see the monkey

May 9, 2008 in Movies by Ben | 3 comments

Finally, Speed Racer is coming today. Which sounds like a Trixie joke, but I just mean that the movie finally opens.

I’m about as excited to see Speed as I was to see Iron Man, but I was a huge Speed Racer watching kid way back when (before the internets, if you can imagine. Yes, we had electricity, and television, but not cable). Anyway, I grew up watching the show, and want to see what the Matrix Brothers do with it - although from all the previews they’ve released, I have a pretty good idea.

Little different than the original? A few reviews have said it’s too much - too much color, noise, action. I’m thinking - I sat throught Cloverfield and didn’t throw up, and Sharkboy and Lavagirl, I can do this one.

Besides, Ricci as Trixie? How cool is that?

PS: funny enough, my car is in the shop, if it were outside I might think about playing hooky and going to see this w/o the kids, since all they’ll do is sit there and go “boooring, c’mon, my playstation has better graphics. When do the bad guys start killing everyone? Are there gonna be zombies?” etc.

Flowered dresses

May 8, 2008 in Music by Ben | No comments

From Slaid Cleaves, cool tune:

Sometimes I think about my daddy
and his old spice grin,
Cleaned pressed shirts, and a farmers tan
She never asked him questions
So he never told her lies
but I heard my mama cry some
And I was sitting in the hallway on the night he left
huggin my knees, holding my breath
I never knew why but he was damn sure gone
thought it was maybe my fault

‘Cause She wore flowered dresses for him
Rolled her hair, scrubbed her freckled skin
On the chance that they were goin’ out tonight
Catch a show, maybe grab a bite
And she looked real nice, she looked real nice
