Manifesto of Surrealism
Manifesto of Surrealism
POEM
A burst of laughter
of sapphire in the island of Ceylon
The most beautiful straws
HAVE A FADED COLOR
UNDER THE LOCKS
on an isolated farm
FROM DAY TO DAY
the pleasant
grows worse
coffee
preaches for its saint
THE DAILY ARTISAN OF YOUR BEAUTY
MADAM,
a pair
of silk stockings
is not
A leap into space
A STAG
Love above all
Everything could be worked out so well
PARIS IS A BIG VILLAGE
Watch out for
the fire that covers
THE PRAYER
of fair weather
Know that
The ultraviolet rays
have finished their task
short and sweet
THE FIRST WHITE PAPER
OF CHANCE
Red will be
The wandering singer
WHERE IS HE?
in memory
in his house
AT THE SUITORS’ BALL
I do
as I dance
What people did, what they’re going to do

Fringe Episode Review - 4.07 ~ Fringe Television - Fan Site for the FOX TV Series Fringe: “The hours I spend with you I look upon as sort of a perfumed garden, a dim twilight, and a fountain singing to it. You and you alone make me feel that I am alive. Other men it is said have seen angels, but I have seen thee and thou art enough.”

Playing Favorites
http://saturdayeveningpost.blogspot.com/p/presidential-picks.html
These are my #GOP favorites, for the party nomination as of December. They are not the "head in the sand" politicians that ail this country. The DNC is downright shameful as of late with populist sycophancy, anti-capitalist behavior, divisive rhetoric, partisanship, incompetence, and corruption. On this day 2011, "occupy" protesters are sleeping in the bitter snow, leaderless and self enlisted, bad ideas without solutions have people sleeping in the cold without a message or salvation, and the DNC isn't out in force in soup kitchens and homeless shelters. Instead they devote their lives to class warfare and justice through hypocrisy, as if bloodletting won't kill Washington twice.
The superior man is modest in his speech, but exceeds in his actions.
The superior man is satisfied and composed; the mean man is always full of distress.
The superior man...does not set his mind either for anything, or against anything;
what is right he will follow.

Any inconveniences caused by this endorsement or myself are not affiliated in any way with the theory of responsibility nor the USA, actions or inferences inspired by information found herein are done at your own risk.

Amon Amarth "Destroyer of the Universe"
I rise up from Muspelheim, my fury is sublime.
The sword I bring burns violently, with wild and lethal flames.
I march against the Asagods, to bring the end of time.
I am pure and endless pain, and Surtur is my name.
See me rise, the mighty Surt, destroyer of the universe.
Bringer of flames and endless hurt, scorcher of men and Earth.
See me rise, the mighty Surt, destroyer of the universe.
Bringer of flames and endless hurt, scorcher of men and Earth.
Swordless Frej with horn in hand, rises to his final stand.
He doesn't stand a single chance; I'll split his living corpse in half.
And yet he stabbed me in the eye; he drove the horn in deep.
The overwhelming, raging pain, is driving me insane!
The waves of flames that I've unleashed, will eat us all alive.
The rage that burns within my heart, is uncontrolled and wild:
And now everything shall die!
Massive waves consume us all, the ocean is released.
Our dying world quakes underneath, and sinks into the sea:
And now nothing will survive!
Extinction waits for everyone, for gods and men alike.
When all are gone of the old world, a new one will arise.
See me rise, the mighty Surt, destroyer of the universe.
Bringer of flames and endless hurt, scorcher of men and Earth.
See me rise, the mighty Surt, destroyer of the universe.
Bringer of flames and endless hurt, Scorcher of men and Earth.
See me die, the mighty Surt, destroyer of the universe.
Drowning in waves that floods the Earth:
The beginning, of a new rebirth.
See me die, the mighty Surt, destroyer of the universe.
Drowning in waves that floods the Earth:

Every Time I Die - Organ Grinder
You've heard the voice of god, solely
Everything is so clear to you
Reload for the greater good
Focus
Throw us at the feet of the fools
You don't know how lucky you are
That your life is so characterless
All the worlds a cage
And we are animals
Pounding on the glass
Housebroken, De-clawed
Unaware of the threat
Bull hooks that keep us in line
While the cameras flash
And we play while the trespassers plot
To collect on their debts
There were eyes everywhere that i went
There were eyes everywhere that i went
You'll be found
Mark my words
You will be found
Stripped down and held to the light
You will be found
They will narrow their eyes
Take aim and bring the world to its knees
You'll be found
Mark my words
You will be found
Just because you have figured it out
Doesn't mean it won't happen to you
Just because you have figured it out
Doesn't mean it won't happen to you
All the worlds a maze
And they are scientists plotting every move
Big brother will keep us in line
With his snipers on the roof
Though I'm cautious not to draw attention of the fiends
I'm the happiest sadist around
Once surrendered to the drink
There was fire everywhere that i stood
There was fire everywhere that i stood
Just because you're afraid of the dark
Doesn't mean that its afraid of you
Just because you're afraid of the dark
Doesn't mean that its afraid of you
You've heard the voice of god, solely
Everything is so clear to you
Slow down your racing heart
Steady
Quickly or it moves out of frame
We are nothing more than mannequins
Everyone is put on display
This will not pass in time
The movement will not pass
Caught in the act for our lives
The moment will not pass
The dark doesn't flinch
Take heed
The moment will not pass
Cover your tracks
Were sitting ducks
The moment will not pass
We are nothing more than mannequins

Gibson Press Release
Gibson Press Release
Gibson Press Release Gov’t says wood is illegal if U.S. workers produce it
Thursday, August 25, 2011
The Justice department bullies Gibson without filing charges The Federal Department of Justice in Washington, D.C. has suggested that the use of wood from India that is not finished by Indian workers is illegal, not because of U.S. law, but because it is the Justice Department’s interpretation of a law in India. (If the same wood from the same tree was finished by Indian workers, the material would be legal.) This action was taken without the support and consent of the government in India. On August 24, 2011, around 8:45 a.m. CDT, agents for the federal government executed four search warrants on Gibson’s facilities in Nashville and Memphis and seized several pallets of wood, electronic files and guitars. Gibson had to cease its manufacturing operations and send workers home for the day, while armed agents executed the search warrants. Gibson has fully cooperated with the execution of the search warrants. • Raid shut down Gibson factories and cost company money This is the second time that federal agents have raided Gibson facilities and disrupted production – this time causing lost productivity and sales. • Wood seized was Forest Stewardship Council Controlled The wood the Government seized on August 24 is from a Forest Stewardship Council certified supplier and is FSC Controlled, meaning that the wood complies with the standards of the Forest Stewardship Council, which is an industry-recognized and independent, not-for-profit organization established to promote responsible management of the world’s forests. FSC Controlled Wood standards require, among other things, that the wood not be illegally harvested and not be harvested in violation of traditional and civil rights. See www.fsc.org for more information. Gibson has a long history of supporting sustainable and responsible sources of wood and has worked diligently with entities such as the Rainforest Alliance and Greenpeace to secure FSC certified supplies. The wood seized on August 24 satisfied FSC standards. • Nearly two years later, no charges have been filed In 2009, more than a dozen agents with automatic weapons invaded the Gibson factory in Nashville. The Government seized guitars and a substantial amount of ebony fingerboard blanks from Madagascar. To date, 1 year and 9 months later, criminal charges have NOT been filed, yet the Government still holds Gibson’s property. Gibson has obtained sworn statements and documents from the Madagascar government and these materials, which have been filed in federal court, show that the wood seized in 2009 was legally exported under Madagascar law and that no law has been violated. Gibson is attempting to have its property returned in a civil proceeding that is pending in federal court. The Justice Department has asked the judge to stop the court case indefinitely. • Information sought in raid was already made available Since 2009, Gibson has fully cooperated with the Government’s investigation of wood and has provided substantial documentation regarding Gibson’s wood-buying activities over the years. Yet, the Federal Government raided Gibson’s facilities on August 24, 2011, without warning or communication of any kind. Had the Government simply communicated with Gibson, Gibson would have cooperated without having to stop its production and send workers home. • Not about illegal logging, not about conservation, not about the environment The U.S. Lacey Act does not directly address conservation issues but is about obeying all laws of the countries from which wood products are procured. This law reads that you are guilty if you did not observe a law even though you had no knowledge of that law in a foreign country. The U.S. Lacey Act is only applicable when a foreign law has been violated. • Gibson is innocent and will fight to protect its rights Gibson has complied with foreign laws and believes it is innocent of ANY wrong doing. We will fight aggressively to prove our innocence. For more information, please contact: Henry E.
