set me apart

July 22nd, 2007 by chapel

Don’t get lost
Stay on track
Win of Lose
I’ve got your back

State your name
Roger that
Leave a message
Don’t self destruct

Set us free
Let me be
Set me free
Let us be

No one can stop us now
No matter where or how
I’ll make a change
This Is My Time
That’s where I’m going
To the top
The cream of the crop
Yeah yeah

I’m gonna be All I can be
Set Me Apart

Animax, My Sanctuary
A place to be free
A place to see
A place to be me

In this otherworldly place
No need to change your face
And I won’t hesitate
To seek my mystic fate

I’m gonna be All I can be
Set Me Apart

moon on the water

April 29th, 2007 by chapel
Full moon sways
Gently in the night of one fine day

On my way
Looking for a moment with my dear

Full moon waves
Slowly on the surface of the lake

You were there
Smiling in my arms for all those years

What a fool
I don't know 'bout tomorrow
What it's like to be
Ah...

I was fool
Couldn't let myself to go
Even though I feel
The end

Old love affair
Floating like a bird resting her wings

You were there
Smiling in my arms for all those years

how to install love [a computer story]

How to Instal Love

based on an idea by an unknown author.

Summary

A Customer Services Representative gives computer style instructions in how to instal love.
Note: A Powerpoint presentation is available to accompany this script. See foot of script for details.

Script

Customer Service (CS) Rep. : Yes, Ma’am, how can I help you today?

Customer: Well, after much consideration, I’ve decided to install LOVE. Can you guide me through the process?

CS Rep. : Yes, I can help you. Are you ready to proceed?

Customer: Well, I’m not very technical, but I think I’m ready to install now. What do I do first?

CS Rep. : The first step is to open your HEART. Have you located your HEART ma’am?

Customer: Yes I have, but there are several other programs running right now. Is it okay to install while they are running?

CS Rep. : What programs are running ma’am?

Customer: Let’s see, I have PAST-HURT.EXE, LOW-ESTEEM.EXE, GRUDGE.EXE, and RESENTMENT.COM running right now.

CS Rep. : No problem. LOVE will gradually erase PAST-HURT.EXE from your current operating system. It may remain in your permanent memory, but it will no longer disrupt other programs. LOVE will eventually overwrite LOW-ESTEEM.EXE with a module of its own called HIGH-ESTEEM.EXE. However, you have to completely turn off GRUDGE.EXE and RESENTMENT.COM. Those programs prevent LOVE from being properly installed. Can you turn those off ma’am?

Customer: I don’t know how to turn them off. Can you tell me how?

CS Rep. : My pleasure. Go to your Start menu and invoke FORGIVENESS.EXE. Do this as many times as necessary until GRUDGE.EXE and RESENTMENT.COM have been completely erased.

Customer: Okay, done. LOVE has started installing itself automatically. Is that normal?

CS Rep. : Yes. You should receive a message that says it will reinstall for the life of your HEART. Do you see that message?

Customer: Yes I do. Is it completely installed?

CS Rep. : Yes, but remember that you have only the base program. You need to begin connecting to other HEART’s in order to get the upgrades.

Customer: Oops. I have an error message already. What should I do?

CS Rep. : What does the message say?

Customer: It says ‘ERROR 412 - PROGRAM NOT RUN ON INTERNAL COMPONENTS.’ What does that mean?

CS Rep. : Don’t worry ma’am, that’s a common problem. It means that the LOVE program is set up to run on external HEARTS but has not yet been run on your HEART. It is one of those complicated programming things, but in non-technical terms it means you have to ‘LOVE’ your own machine before it can ‘LOVE’ others.

Customer: So what should I do?

CS Rep. : Can you pull down the directory called ‘SELF-ACCEPTANCE’?

Customer: Yes, I have it.

CS Rep. : Excellent. You’re getting good at this.

Customer: Thank you.

CS Rep. : You’re welcome. Click on the following files and then copy them to the ‘MYHEART’ directory: FORGIVE-SELF.DOC, REALIZE-WORTH.TXT, and ACKNOWLEDGE-LIMITATIONS.DOC. The system will overwrite any conflicting files and begin patching any faulty programming. Also, you need to delete VERBOSE-SELF-CRITIC.EXE from all directories, and then empty your recycle bin afterwards to make sure it is completely gone and never comes back.

Customer: Got it. Hey! My HEART is filling up with new files. SMILE.MPG is playing on my monitor right now and it shows that PEACE.EXE, and CONTENTMENT.COM are copying themselves all over my HEART. Is this normal?

CS Rep.: Sometimes. For others it takes a while, but eventually everything gets downloaded at the proper time. So, LOVE is installed and running. You should be able to handle it from here. One more thing before I go.

Customer: Yes?

CS Rep. : LOVE is freeware. Be sure to give it and its various modules to everybody you meet. They will in turn share it with other people and they will return some similarly cool modules back to you.

Customer: I will. Thanks for your help. By the way, what’s your name?

CS Rep.: You can call me the Divine Cardiologist, also known as The Great Physician, but most call me God. Most people feel all they need is an annual check-up to stay heart-healthy, but the manufacturer (Me) suggests a schedule of daily maintenance for maximum efficiency. Put another way, keep in touch ……… and keep praying !

believe me!!!

Yeah, see that
I guess that this is where we’ve come to
If you don’t want to
Then you don’t have to
Believe me
But I won’t be there when you go down
Just so you know now
You’re on your own now
Believe me
Yeah , I don’t want to be the one to blame
You like fun and games
Keep playing ‘em, I’m just saying
Think back then you was like one of the same
On the right track, but I was on the wrong train
‘S like that, now you gotta face the pain
And the devil’s got a fresh new place to play
In your brain, like a mange you can never escape
The rain every damn day’s the same shade of grey

Ey, I used to have a little bit of a plan
Used to have a concept to where I stand
But that concept slipped right out of my hand
Now, I don’t even really know who I am
Yo, what do I have to say?
Maybe I should do what I have to do to break free
’n whatever’s gonna happen to you
We’ll see
But it’s not gonna happen to me

I guess that this is where we’ve come to
If you don’t want to
Then you don’t have to
Believe me
But I won’t be there when you go down
Just so you know now
You’re on your own now
Believe me
Well back then I thought you were just like me
Somebody who could see all the pain I see
But you proved to me, unintentionally
That you would selfdestruct eventually
Now I’m thinking like the mistake
A m- doesn’t hurt
But it’s not gonna work ‘cause it’s really much worse
than I thought
I wished that you were something you were not
And now this guilt is really all that I got

Oh, you turn your back and walk away in shame
All you got is a memory and pain
Nothing makes sense, you just stare at the ground
You hear my voice in your head when no one else is
around
What do I have to say?
Maybe I should do what I have to do to break free
’n whatever’s gonna happen to you
We’ll see
But it’s not gonna happen to me

|I guess that this is where we’ve come to
If you don’t want to
Then you don’t have to
Believe me
But I won’t be there when you go down
Just so you know now
You’re on your own now
Believe me

I’ll do what I have to do
You’re on your own now believe me
Whatever happen to you
You’re on your own now believe me
What do I have to say
You’re on your own now believe me
It’s not gonna happen to me
You’re on your own now believe me
Yeah, what, woo, that’s right
Here’s the thing

August 21st, 2005 by chapel

You ready?
Lets go

Yeah
For those who wanna know what we’re all about

[chorus]
10% luck
20% skill
15% concentrated power of will
5% pleasure
50% pain
and 100% reason to remember the name

[verse1]
Mike!
he doesnt need his name up in lights
he just wants to be heard whether its the beat or the mic
he feels so unlike every body else, alone
in spite of the fact that some people still think that they know him
but Fuck em
he knows the code:
its not about the salary, its all about reality
and making some noise
making the story
making sure his clique stays up
that means when he puts it down, tak’s pickin it up

[verse2]
Who the hell is he anyway?
he never really talks much
never concerned with status
but still leavin ‘em starstruck
humbled through oppurtunities
givin despite the fact
that many misjudge him
because he makes a living from writing raps
put it together himself
and the picture connects
never askin for someones help, or to get some respect
his only focus is what he wrote
his will is beyond reach
and now it all unfolds
the skill of an artiste

[verse3]
20% skill
80% beer
Be 100% clear
cuz ryu is ill
who woulda thought hed be the one to set the west in flames
I heard him record with the crystal method Name of the game
Came back dropped megadef, took em to church
i like bleach man
ryu had the stupidest verse
this dude is the truth
now everybodys givin him guest spots
the stock through the roof
i heard hes fuckin with s-dot!

[chorus]
10% luck
20% skill
15% concentrated power of will
5% pleasure

and 100% reason to remember the name

[verse4]

They call him ryu the sick
and hes spitting fire and mic
got him out the dryer hes hot
got him in fort Minor With Tak
He’s a fucking nihilist porcupine
hes a prick hes a cock
the type women wanna be with and rappers hope he gets shot
8 years and the makin
patiently waitin to blow
now the record with shinoda’s
takin over the globe
hes got a partner in crime
his shit is equally dope
you wont believe the kinda shit that comes outa of this kids throat

[verse5]
tak!
hes out there every day on the block
he knows how to work with what hes got makin his way to the top
he often gets a comment on his name
people keep askin him was it
given at birth
or was it stand for an acronym
No
He’s livin proof, look at him rockin the booth
he’ll get you buzzin quicker than a shot of vodka with juice
Him and his crew are known around as one of the best
dedicated to what they do, and give 100%

[verse6]
forget mike
nobody real knows how or why, he works so hard it seems like hes never got time
becuz he writes every note, and he writes every line
and ive seen him at work, when that light goes on in his mind
its like a design is written in his head every time
before he even touches a key or speaks in a rhyme
and those mothafuckas he runs with, the kids that he signed, rediculous
without even tryin

how do they do it?

[chorus]
10% luck

WALKING DEAD

April 26th, 2005 by chapel

In the chill of the night
I can feel my heart racing
As I run towards the light
that seems so far away
Wondering forever
In the darkest of shadows
Wondering if I will ever see you again

Wondering if I will ever see you again

I’ll take your love
(I’ll take your love)
I’ll take your hate
(take your hate)
I’ll take you’re desire

I’ll take the world
when it turns on you
(when it turns on you)
I’ll set it on fire

W-the-w-th-th-the walking dead
The walking dead (walking dead)

Digging in the dirt
I can feel you getting closer
Steadying my hands through the blistering pain
Anxiously awaiting for the earth to reveal you
Wondering if I will ever see you again (see you again)

Wondering if I will ever see you again

I’ll take your love
(I’ll take your love)
I’ll take your hate
(take your hate)
I’ll take you’re desire

I’ll take your heart
I’ll take your pain
(I’ll take your pain)
I’ll bring you to life

I’ll bring you to life

W-the-w-th-th-the walking dead
The walking dead (walking dead)

I’ll bring you to life

I’ll take your love
(I’ll take your love)
I’ll take your hate
(take your hate)
I’ll take you’re desire

I’ll take the world
when it turns on you
(it turns on you)

W-the-w-th-th-the walking dead

I’ll take your love
(I’ll take your love)
I’ll take your hate
(take your hate)
I’ll take you’re desire

I’ll take your heart
I’ll take your pain
(I’ll take your pain)

I’ll bring you to life
