Letter! [from a fellow porcupine!]

When you get mysterious letters in the mail, just tell your mother "pen pals" and she goes away. :) hehe just kidding. ;)

Just got a letter from Jaime today. Ah, letters: so oldschool.

It appears that Project ChaleNGe is going very well. And, squad leader! How impressive!

I'm going to have to write back right away!

The Porcupine

By: Ogden Nash

Any hound a porcupine nudges
Can't be blamed for harboring grudges.
I know one hound that laughed all winter
At a porcupine that sat on a splinter.


I love Ogden Nash. :)

Happy Birthday, Shannon!

Today is Shannon Hoon's birthday. He would be 42 today. (Wow, I never realized he would have been that old).



In honor of him and the band, I've been listening to solely Blind Melon today. I have discovered a lot of very rare tracks by them.

Right now there is a three day vigil going on at Shannon's gravesite. They have it every year in Dayton, Indiana. Fans from all over come and visit his grave, putting flowers and artwork on it, lighting up, hanging out, and just celebrating his life.



"I know we can't all stay here forever
So, I'll write my words on the face of today
And they'll paint it."


So, in memory of the great late Shannon Hoon, here are a few rare songs:




All Alone

Jaime is gone for 5 months. ): He's off doing Project ChalleNGe. I hope he is having fun there!

But with Jaime gone for so long, what am I going to do with this blog?

Forgot to Mention

Yeah...I forgot to blog this yesterday (Sunday 21st, Father's Day) that it was Father's Day that day.

Most importantly, IT'S THE FIRST DAY OF FUCKING SUMMER! :D

Too tired, I'll edit this tomorrow when I wake up. I will mak eit look specatacular. (half the letters in that last sentence are underlined red, I'll leave it for tomorrow)

Porcupinefish


Don't like the spiny mammals?

Here's an aquatic version for ya!

Take a look at what the great people over at Fuck You, Penguin had to say about our little prickly friend here: http://fuckyoupenguin.blogspot.com/2009/04/porcupinefish-send-out-mixed-messages.html

Letters From A Porcupine

Underlying
Oh, so more important here
Any kind
Oh, what ever shakes a thrill
Mark my face
The air is really heavy now
I pledge allegiance
So God why don't you come on over here

D- I- E- D
Oh, that's what has happened to you
G - R - E - E - D
Well, there is nothing more to take
Pour the red wine
Watch the news, maybe ventilate
I pledge allegiance
So laddy why don't you come on over here

Letters from the porcupine
They'll stick straight through you
So read one anytime
Oh, you think you've made mistakes
Now we'll wait for later
Maybe the next in line will be
Someone who's Daddy's blood
Ran out next to Bush and to be him



Shannon left this on Christopher's answering machine in 1996.

Almost seems like he could predict the future, doesn't it?

It's June!

Welcome, June. Today is June 1.

The month of June always welcomes Summer to officially begin on the 21 of this month. :)

Not only that but it's a June Bug infestation! :D














Meet Zack, he's been killing to ea-meet you:













After all, it's JUNE!

Shamwow Commercial [in Spanish]

I saw this commercial went I into my mom's bedroom and she was watching a Spanish television program and commercials hit the tv screen and I was about to leave when this popped up:



I couldn't believe it. I had to read his lips to make sure he was actually speaking Spanish to believe it. He must have had a lot of practice to try and pull it off. (or maybe someone else spoke in Spanish and slapped the audio into the video and they edited the Shamwow guy's lips with their editing software to sync with the Spanish audio)

I was laughing inside the whole time throughout the video.

Man, your spelling, grammar, and punctuation sucks.... xD

"im geating a phone thats why" can translate to:

Porcupine Tree

Nothing has been posted here in a really long time. So, here ya go:

Here at Letters From a Porcupine we really like porcupines (or porkupines - but those are questionable). So It's only fair that we share this find with you. This band is really good. If you like Pink Floyd or Tool, you will probably like them:

The Guy In The Glass

by Dale Wimbrow


When you get what you want in your struggle for pelf,
And the world makes you King for a day,
Then go to the mirror and look at yourself,
And see what that guy has to say.

For it isn't your Father, or Mother, or Wife,
Who judgement upon you must pass.
The feller whose verdict counts most in your life
Is the guy staring back from the glass.

He's the feller to please, never mind all the rest,
For he's with you clear up to the end,
And you've passed your most dangerous, difficult test
If the guy in the glass is your friend.

You may be like Jack Horner and "chisel" a plum,
And think you're a wonderful guy,
But the man in the glass says you're only a bum
If you can't look him straight in the eye.

You can fool the whole world down the pathway of years,
And get pats on the back as you pass,
But your final reward will be heartaches and tears
If you've cheated the guy in the glass.



I heard this poem today in English class, and I really liked it. Upon finding this poem on the internet, I discovered that there are many misquoted and uncredited versions of it out there. It was also said to have been written by an anonymous prisoner on the wall in death row. It is actually written by Dale Wimbrow, but that doesn't take away from its vigor.

Stupid Necklace...

03/05 19:38:34 NightWing87: jaime examined the ground to find the remains of a hand, holding a necklace, silver, beautiful, untouched by the flames.

03/05 19:38:40 Dragonus: OHGOD

03/05 19:38:42 Dragonus: ITS EVIL

03/05 19:38:43 Dragonus: ITS EVIL

03/05 19:38:48 Jagger: sweet....

03/05 19:38:59 Dragonus: actually,keep it

03/05 19:39:05 NightWing87: the hand was of a woman, and the hand gripping the necklace seemed as if it wasn't touched by the flames.

03/05 19:39:14 NightWing87: Jaime was intrigued by this.

03/05 19:39:30 NightWing87: as he touched it, he felt immortal.

03/05 19:39:36 NightWing87: A. take it

03/05 19:39:38 NightWing87: B. leave it

03/05 19:40:13 gokon: leave it the fuck alone

03/05 19:40:14 NightWing87: Jaime quickly picked it up, and put it on, and it immeadietly glowed.

03/05 19:40:22 Jagger: YAY!

03/05 19:40:26 Dragonus: woo!

03/05 19:40:28 gokon: it's either gonna be awesome or it'll screw you over

03/05 19:40:31 NightWing87: in the distance, Ian's ears twitched once more, but this time, it was a different noise.

03/05 19:40:33 gokon: i'm betting on bad

03/05 19:40:42 NightWing87: he heard war horns no less then a mile away.

03/05 19:40:46 NightWing87: and that wasn't the worse part

03/05 19:40:52 NightWing87: the worst part - was - it came from the south.

03/05 19:40:55 gokon: you fucktards

03/05 19:40:59 gokon: why did you take that?

03/05 19:41:09 Jagger: oh FUUUUCK

03/05 19:41:10 NightWing87: Ian stared off, as he heard all kinds of noises, unable to pinpoint what  was coming for them.

03/05 19:41:34 Dragonus: let's do this shit

03/05 19:41:35 gokon: FUCKING TOLD YOU

03/05 19:41:35 NightWing87: shortly afterwards, a wave of dragons glazed the sky overhead, as the crowd of dragons circled the boys.

03/05 19:41:38 Dragonus: josh, i have any spells yet?

03/05 19:41:41 NightWing87: Nothing.

03/05 19:41:42 Dragonus: DRAGONS

03/05 19:41:43 Jagger: xD

03/05 19:41:43 gokon: YOU FUCKING IDIOTS

03/05 19:41:45 NightWing87: you're all lvl 1.

Smile! :)



An artist tried to lift the February gloom by releasing more than 2,000 pink smiley faces into the air over London.

The Happy Cloud installation filled the air outside the Tate Modern gallery with the faces, made from helium, soap and vegetable dye.

The artist, 28-year-old Stuart Semple, said he wanted to create something that would cheer people up.

This is the kind of art that I like. If I saw this, it would definitely put a smile on my face. :)

Beware of Hitchhikers


To: All motorists
From: Pranksters




There were several incidents in several states (and possibly near your very own home) where pranksters decided to warn motorists of traffic issues by hacking electronic road signs and warning motorists of "ZOMBIES" and "RAPTORS".





Here are a few examples of these signs:

"DAILY LANE CLOSURES DUE TO ZOMBIES"
"RAPTORS AHEAD — CAUTION"
"NAZI ZOMBIES! RUN!!!"
"ZOMBIES IN AREA! RUN"
"THE END IS NEAR!!!!!!"
"DANGER: ZOMBIE ATTACK"
Etc.



















You never know with all these movies about zombies. Maybe it's just hype.

At least it was a good laugh for the drivers; although they had no idea what the real intention for those signs were the in the first place. These electronic hacks really angered safety officials, which means they can't enjoy a good laugh. The officials will stop worrying about their electronic equipment being hacked if zombies really do attack.

You know, what if those pranksters were actually on to something? What if there were actual zombies around the area? I'd say don't pick up any hitchhikers because you never know if there is a zombie out there waiting to be pick up by someone like you.

Be very afraid of killer zombies known as hitchhikers.
Thank you for reading.

Pretty in Pink

Today in my CAD class, I got on the intenet, and I happened to notice that somebody was logged into their google account on my computer. So, I took the initiative to set up their iGoogle profile. We will call him Josh. Josh now likes Cooking and Politics and his iGoogle Theme is a pretty pink floral design.



Josh...

You're Welcome.

P.S. We are also registering for classes. I am torn between several different classes that I need and want, but don't know which ones to choose.

Topeka

by Ludo

I made this video awhile ago because I was looking for it one day on Youtube and all I could find was a bunch of live versions. I saw on a comment where somebody said that somebody else should make a video of this song with the lyrics. So, I did that.

Of course, Youtube is a POS and wouldn't let me use this song because that would be copyright infringement and that is bad, kids.

What's This?

This.

What is it?

Well, you/me, this is a new blog. The other one - sorry, *POOF*.

So, I've always wanted to do a blog with team members.

What are team members, you might ask?

Well, if you'd shut the fuck up for a moment and let me answer the questions before you ask them!

Team members are members on a team blog.

(sounds like a "no shit?" right?)

So, what is a team blog?

Well, interrogator, a team blog is described as follows:

Team blogs are quite useful when small groups of people wish to contribute to a single blog. Basically, one person initially creates the blog, then adds other people to it as members.

Team members can either be administrators or not. Administrators can edit all posts (not just their own), add and remove team members (and grant admin access), and modify the blog's settings and template. Non-admins can only create and edit their own posts.


Okay. Now that we've got that over with, does anybody want to do a team blog? Want to be a member? If so, tell me! Or this was all just a big waste of my time (and yours).

Kthnx. :)
