in the celebration of e.e. cummings (best last name ever), i will abuse the rules of capitalization. this tribute is due to a very inspiring poem given to my college choir by our director, that simplified performing for me. the poem is titled "open your heart" which i will share with you:
open your heart:
i'll give you a treasure
of tiniest world
a piece of forever with
summitless younger than
angels are mounains
rivery forests
towerful towns(queen
poet king float
sprout heroes of moonstar
flutter to and
swim blossoms of person)through
musical shadows while hunted
by daemons
seethe luminous
leopards(on wingfeet of thingfear)
come ships go
snowily sailing
perfect silence.
Absolute ocean
-e.e. cummings (1894-1962)
i do not have much experience in interpreting poetry, but i think the ambiguity here is completely personal. cummings (makes me lwl every time) submits to this writing style often, but here i think it is especially effective. he is indubitably forcing the readers to open their hearts to his words, to make them as personal and self-revealing as they were to him.
this exhibits what my director has been telling the choir for years, that he will not limit us to his meaning of a particular piece, but instead asks us to do this of our own accord. this makes each performance personally meaningful, and therefore each performance altogether greater.
i didn't want to blog today, i probably shouldn't be doing so, being that I have deadlines, but michael forced my hand. stop typing. dammit michael! this is a respone to mi's previous post:
mi, i agree with you. this facebook fad is distracting from the real problem. it's only really a medium for facebook to seem socially conscious. the more subtly you approach a glaring issue, the less effect you will have on it. please stop understating the severity of child abuse by feigning action against it.

76.7% of you will have known child abuse is bad
Based on the percentage of my friends who changed their profile pictures on le bookface
Raise Awareness! If you didn't know, change your picture to your favorite childhood cartoon, and the child abusers will cringe at all the cute pictures.Sidenote: breast cancer awareness, that is legitimate. I want to know that before a bit ago everyone with an ounce of morality knew that abusing an innocent child was bad, and was aware that it happened. Like rape, and murder most people understand the ethics or lack thereof of such heinous crimes. If you know a child being abused, stop being so subtle.

Oblovious to my mutterings
Finally Lil' Wayne is out of jail and I can blog again. Achahah (Legit Wayne Laugh) <- A LWL. Lol. Except not (on two accounts), that was fucking pathetic.
Reading my posts beforehand, I can see how damn hard it is to decipher what the hell I b saying. I've got no rhythm or rhyme, except when I do. -Translates to it's not supposed to be funny except when it is.
And that's usually my main point, to be funny. The easiest way for me to do that is random word association. Look at my previous post: http://musingsontap.blogspot.com/2010/02/i-can-only-imagine.html we have the line...
"On a different bill (perhaps a euro or a Clinton, or even a platypus"..
I'mma break it down for you....This is merely a transitional phrase, a play on the well-known phrase, "on a different note". Then in the parentheses I mock the utter ridiculousness of this stupid colloquialism and share humor with you by displaying different random associations of "note's" limited synonym "bill"
do you get me now...thought not
Delving Further (no joke intended or unintended) [bullshit, there is something always unintended..ie. she can say that..or Oscar could have said that]
seeee
see how after every 5 words there could be a joke/pop culture reference/innuendo?
It pains me to be so painfully obvious.
It pains me people are so painfully oblivious.
Moving on...
I would like to:
Give a shout out to Mski.
Eat turkey.
Watch the Packers beat the Falcons.
Argue with D-Money. About anything [how it's not "the" mski]
See North Korea's government wiped out by a massive uprising.
Listen to a new Blink song
not in that order.
So, one more time.
Perverted jokes abound.
Political comments abound.
Pop Culture References, no doubtedly...abound
Interesting anecdotes about De's life..abound.
Parallelism waz here
**Thee tags shall be thou guidestar** <-- no reference (your welcome)
Go and passively aggressively infringe on others' rights: It's what Obama wants you to do.

If you write it, they will come
I hate politics. I would never say politics are unnecessary, except I am and they are, but the political system is reality. This system has allowed for the occasional good deed, though the intentions were misplaced somewhere between profit and potential potency of position. Voters are so disquieted that the representatives they've elected are corrupt, and they undoubtedly already are.The distressing irony is all the democracy-crippling activity that must take place to produce a shred of democratic functionality through the medium of political parties. I've resolved to vote in as many elections as I can (shout-out to Mr. Neiman) and I encourage you do the same, but before you do, please vote for the most competent candidate as opposed to voting for the slightly less corrupt one of the two major parties. I can tell you that presently a third-party candidate will not likely win, but a paradigm shift must transpire if we are to become a democratic nation again.

This Year in American Politics.....
Being the nerd that I am, it’s a regular phenomena to witness me watching, understanding and– much to any normal person’s astonishment- in fact enjoying C-SPAN. Partly because through some fluke of nature, I find that I’m routinely riveted by political stories, and partly because my cable box doesn’t work, which leaves me with only about 20 channels.
In either case, if you know me, you’ll find that I’m pretty up-to-date with what’s going on in the federal government.
The programming on C-SPAN has been mostly “debates” between candidates for Senate and governor lately and either out of boredom or a sense of masochism, I found myself watching late into the night. Now, we all know that any political debate in this country is going to play out less like two or more leaders of the free word competing in a professional debate format over major issues, and more like two hicks hurling profanities at each other on Maury. Regardless, they've been going at it pretty regularly, and being witness so often, I find myself translating the political jargon into a semi-usable state where I can gauge what’s really going on.
If you watch the debates, you'll find that there are only a few major issues on the table in this year’s election. First, and most prominent, is the ragged state of our economy and the nation’s debt. Second is the lack of jobs, which I might add, fits hand-in-hand with the first issue.
The third major issue (as I have witnessed) is various reforms put in place while the democrats had a majority in Congress, e.g. the Health-Care Bill, financial reform and various other legislation.
The democrats are saying that they want to extend the Bush tax cuts, but only for the middle class, leaving the wealthiest 2% to go back to paying full taxes. They also want to give aid of some type (either tax or stimulus) to small businesses to stimulate both hiring and product demand.
The republicans are promising to cut spending and slash everyone’s taxes also via the Bush tax cuts. They’ve even released a piece of literature titled “Pledge to America” which outlines their specific intentions, should they be elected. They also want to completely repeal much of the legislation put in place by the outgoing Congress.
Before I go on, you should know that this is where the non-bias report-preamble ends and my opinion begins. Also you should know that I am a moderate. I’m not a democrat and I don’t lean left or right. I think everyone in the government is more or less retarded. But not all idiots were created equal.
It seems to me that many of the chronic cases of ’idiot’ have found their way into the Republican Party this year.
For instance, it sounds nice to say you’ll cut spending and stop taxing everyone. In order for that to work; however, you have to cut enough spending that it equals less than the amount of taxes you take in. This basic concept seems to have escaped the Republican’s minds since they’ve failed to explain how they plan to cut that much spending. They can’t possibly do it while still providing services for the public -if they do, in fact, intend to abide by their “Pledge,” that is- I think it’s pretty elementary. In basic terms, you can’t spend money you don’t have. Under a policy like the ones Republicans are toting in their campaigns, we’ll have to keep borrowing the extra money we need from foreigners and thus the deficit will grow even more! We simply can’t afford it.
Now, I may not like them very much on other issues, but on finance, the democrats seem to have their shit together a bit more. It’s much more reasonable in my opinion to continue taxing the public, cutting taxes only where you must, and stimulating specific targeted points in the economy, like small businesses. That plan would both reduce the deficit in the long term and stimulate the economy now, by forcing us to borrow less money from other countries and by creating both supply in the form of newly finically burden-reduced businesses. And demand in the form of newly hired workers to run the aforementioned businesses.
I try not to tell people what to think. I have zero qualms about talking your ear off about politics, but I try to at least keep my opinions at just that; my opinions. This year, though, I must admit, if you vote Republican, I’ll think less of you. They are lying and misinforming ten miles a minute in order to get re-elected and have no care in the world for the reality we’re living in. Their willy-nilly attitude will run the country into financial ruin. Either that or they won’t be able to keep to their “Pledge.”
That stuff takes credibility away from republicans, but I would be bereft not to mention their other recent short-comings. Judging by the debates on C-SPAN, they’re so full of themselves that they can’t be bothered to just amend the bad stuff out of existing legislation. Rather, they insist on “repealing and replacing.” This really doesn’t make any sense to me. Healthcare reform was a good thing. Don’t get me wrong, there were certainly things in it that make me cringe, but honestly, you don’t have to take a law that’s already active and effective in several areas off the books just so you can do it over again your own way-Especially because republicans won’t have a super-majority- They’ll have to work with democrats and their confrontational approach will turn that effort into a heap of wasted time.
The other thing that really irks me is Republican’s ability to endorse the worst possible potential candidate in any particular race just because they’re Tea partiers. The Tea Party; representing the “Angry Americans” in this race. Noble as the concept of doing something about politics on your own is, Tea Party candidates are shaping up to be inexperienced buffoons with no sense of financial responsibility. Christine O’Donnell, the republican Senate candidate in Delaware, spent campaign funds freely on her own personal expenses. ($550 at the Mattress Giant and $1,500 on sunscreen and sun block.) Other Tea Party candidates have similar stories, or otherwise terrible personal financial and tax records. Can a party that not only accepts, but endorses a candidate like this really have our best interests at heart?
I doubt it. This petty attitude Republicans seem to have all over the country makes me sick. These are our lives they’re playing king of the hill with. While Republicans avenge their bruised pride this November, the rest of us in this country are suffering. I think it speaks volumes to who really is pledging themselves to America, and that to Republicans, our lives are a mere play-thing.
I’m not a Democrat. And though I’m also not a Republican or a Tea partier, I, too, am an angry American.

Mi, Himself and He,
I am sorry for the delayed manner in which I have responded, as I have been feeling less than museful lately. If for no other reason, I ask you to continue sharing these private thoughts in hopes that she (as no other gender generic word was voted on, use http://musingsontap.blogspot.com/2010/07/predestination.html as a reference) will reveal the identity of the footsteps coming down the hall. I must know this. I must also pose this question......why do people write down their most private of thoughts if they are to remain private? If the idea is to have someone(s) discover your thoughts, form their own opinions on them, and post them on the internet, then by all means, keep a diary. If this is not one's intention, I suggest therapy or talking to one's self, for alleviation of stress.

"Dear Diary,
I spill onto you like a baby does his bib. My thoughts come flashing forth and I grasp you to pen my every thought. Without you as a medium my life would merely contain as much of a point as the quill I am using. I wish to divulge to you my deepest darkest secrets. And so I digress.
Hey Diary, Will you really keep this a secret? I mean, I wouldn't want J.R. or you-know-who to find out. Wait I sense a patter of footsteps down the hallway, I must extinguish this candle, sorry Dearest Diary, perhaps another day!"
*Hey*, De this is an excerpt I came across in a journal of yore. Sadly, this book has been charred badly but I would like to-- as tribute to this schizophrenic-seeming-unnamed-person --continue on their story in a biweekly installment. Your thoughts and correspondence would be much appreciated.

Fuck Her Life
McDonald's drive-thru. 3:48 on the evening of September 27th . An elderly misanthrope, I'll call her Biddy, goes out of turn and pulls in front of me in line. So, I yell "Ey, I was before you! She responds with "No, I ordered first". "Ummm...noooo you didn't" I said and before she could answer....BOOM!, she hits the SUV in front of her. In reality, the collision was as minor as they come; the BOOM! was Karma punching the old biddy in face. Next, this large, relatively intimidating black woman gets out of the SUV, and Biddy asks the question of all questions "Did, I hit you?". "Yeah, whatcha think? You done hit my car!" At this point, laughing out loud for me is not only an option, it is becoming painful not to. Fortunately, the damage to the car required only some scratch remover, so the drive-thru line moved along and I was able to get my quarter-pounder and make it to work on time. Hold it.....Ms. Biddy got off scot-free and got her food before me. You know what......FML.

Poll Archive
Greetings only reader. We have decided to archive the closed Polls just for you. We topped out at a whopping 5 votes on some of them. It was prolly Mi, De, you, and some poor confused wandering souls.
I don't have a lot of experience with vampires, but I have hunted werewolves. I shot one once, but by the time I got to it, it had turned back into my neighbor's dog
"Who the fuck is Dwight Schrute?
If I could menstruate, I wouldn’t have to deal with idiotic calendars anymore. I’d just be able to count down from my previous cycle. Plus, I’d be more in tune with the moon and the tides.
Why tip someone for a job I'm capable of doing myself? I can deliver food. I can drive a taxi. I can, and do, cut my own hair. I did however, tip my urologist, because I am unable to pulverize my own kidney stones.
I grew up on a farm. I have seen animals having sex in every position imaginable. Goat on chicken. Chicken on goat. Couple of chickens doing a goat, couple of pigs watching
prolly going to redo this one.

Muse on This!
The De is starting a band. It has to be done I think, because I have all this dormant musical energy.
Side note, I'm watching That '70s show, and Hyde went in for a job interview with Leo (the guy who's toked all the time) and by the end of the interview, he was Leo's boss.
So back to this band (you see why I don't get anything done), the first course of action is to create a bitchin' band name and this is where Musings on Tap Nation comes in. So Nation (Colbert is beaming with pride at this moment), I submit to you to submit your ideas.

Long time coming
Not a sexual joke. Merely the last time either of us authors wrote something it was....Let's just say that was a sexual joke.
Summer is falling upon us. Another joke, but not sexual. Unless her name is Summer, and fall is the colloquial term for head.
How about a random trivia fact?
In Roman tragedies, Bruskins were worn, however in comedies they donned socks (like those that jesters wear).

Another thing I've been a-ponderin about..
De had mentioned Zeitgeist to me. Not the German romanticist term (for further reading), but the films (for further watching). yeah. And I think they are mostly a bunch of crap, without many substantial sources. But they do lead me to think about life questions and such, however John Lennon accomplished this with his song 'Imagine' plenty a year ago. I'm sure De will have plenty of input in the soonwhile.

Nananananananana Superblog!
As you can see, we are back to our schizo happy-roots. One of our founding three has been resurrected from its stupor. Because it had more important things to do (like actually go to class) it took a leave of absence. In this leave of absence it braved the EHMESSOHEE creepers/biznatches/ferrets from hell. It has now groveled back and fused with the demented minds of DeMi (this is not a Star Trek reference or a sick fantasy) to once again form the DeMi Ho tripod. We're a fuckin' tripod.
It's too late to apologize for what the Ho has done, it's too late (eh eh eh). This will be our first DeMi/Ho blog post and prolly last, sorry Ho. This post is now being cowboyed by Mi. I would like to tell you of the crazy going ons these last couple of days.
It goes as follows:
Call of Duty at Man's Wood (no homo) grocery store- now cowboyed by the De- yo Mi, you should perhaps share with the folks that this particular round of CoD was perhaps the worst ever played as it was pathetically attempted for vlog material. Select Quotes?
"Ok so you're going to hide behind that forklift with the bunny, then you are going to pop out behind this shelf and shoot the bunny"
"Ok so you're going to hide behind that forklift with the bunny, then you are going to pop out behind this shelf and shoot the bunny"
"then you walk behind me filming the whole thing"
"yeah, but i shank you because really I'm not the cameraman"
--"Am I a stationary target or a moveable one?"
"You can move with the bunny"
(The whole while the Man's Wood employee is sneaking jealous glances at our non-monotonous life)
*Gun noises*
*De gets shanked*
*De almost falls but realizes he is not actually dead*
"Kill cam!"
*De and Mi reenact*
"Stab the bunnayy!"
*exeunt*
Also, the ethnic food aisles of select grocery stores, apparently, are decked with piñatas. Some of said piñatas approach such a level of unsightliness, the aforementioned Ho felt it necessary to take pity on one of them and bring it home. (the bunnayy)
Additionally, the De has been under house arrest for most of the past week's time. More clearly, I have been grounded, despite my maturity, because of my present status of dependence on my parents. To avert a certain week of monotony, measures of stealth were required, including a midnight bike ride to chez Mi.
Lest we forget the house of bounce, located at the manliest party around. The occasion you ask, the tragic departure of the manliest Mann around. So the bounce house was provided by yours truly, the De, who you may refer to as D-Money.
This is the final frontier of this post (definitely a Star Trek reference).
Mi is criminally getting shanked in the ass in CoD.

America's Idols Got Talent
American Idol made it's Milwaukee premiere this last Wednesday, and did so for it's first audition location of the 2010 season. Once could ask, what could possibly make it worth it for a Czech Republican like myself (who believes political parties would serve better as a concept than as buying power for aspiring politicians), to come to Wisconsin. The answer is so obvious...........suspense..........cheese curds! And while purchasing my curds, the guy at Man's Wood grocery store, or something similar I'm sure, told me American Idol was holding auditions relatively nearby. I'm not much for the advice giving, but for future American Idol hopefuls, do not show up anywhere near the time they suggest. After a couple hours of promos and many more hours of mindlessness, my section was called. As exciting as the walk down was after about 8 hrs of sitting, the disappointment of rejection caused me to question the value of this whole process. Because you can promise yourself you went let your hopes get to high, but when you're right there.....you really don't have a choice. But when an overtired judge tells you and those around you "You are all good singers, but you're just not there yet", damn common sense points out how ridiculous it was to imagine it going any other way. I heard some intimidatingly great singers not get through simply because of their lack of stage presence, which helped my self-esteem a good deal considering I have next to no performance experience. Heres my point (that I haven't identified until just now), American Idol judges, more than anything else, are seeking television personalities.
Also, Ryan Seacrest is fun-size

Taste the Rainbow
It is 3010, humans have evolved. Cranial capacity has increased twofold, as expected. In order to advance the human race, Womankind evolved into homosexuals. Opposite gender affairs can only be read about in booklogs from 1000 years ago...
Imagine the possibilities. Sexual desires would be fulfilled without the risk of overpopulating the planet. But, in order for the human race to survive men and women would have children as necessary. Women and Men would choose their best match to reproduce with to ensure the offspring are genetically superior.
This thought stems from present day musings on gay people. There seems to be more gays than for it to be called a genetic defect.

Predestination
= some lazyass person making lazyass excuses for himself (and yes I believe in gender equality). So I propose, De, to let the womenfolk have it their way. When using singular pronouns as an example we will use the feminine pronoun. I get it, the girls want a go, they didn't even get their chance, we went from he to s/he. So on Musings on Tap the pronoun "she" is in.
Now for some trial sentences:
Predestination= some lazyass person making lazyass excuses for herself. <- again all the he's are in the background

All women are created equal.
hold up.
Women don't even have their own word, it's a union of men and wo[e?]. Sadness.
So,
"women" will be replaced with a new word...to be voted on!
But really, whatever the "word" turns out to be, it will always be up to Her...yes, you were predestined to read this. And this.

Em!
It's the lyrical cynical sinister minister Shady.
On a completely separate but not totally unrelated note; new Pretzel M&M's are the best thing since the forbidden fruit, I shit you not.

Finals Time!
That time of the year where it sucks to be a procrastinator.
I must blog my procrastination attempts. In the last fortnight or so I have (almost) mastered bubble trouble. Also, I am a Snake Master (not the addicting game you have in mind). Besides ridiculously addictive online games, I have found out that the Dalai Lama has a twitter (can you say champ status?....for the Lama I mean).
What you say? That is childish procrastination?
Bahh, I say. If only you knew (ok, maybe, you do, but imma let [me] finish [not what she said])

Today, I have come to a new after (think about it), I procrastinated during the exam. One of the problems was so intriguing I could not help but ponder the other possibilities. So I calculated them..for no reason. That's pretty sad
Fuck the blog writing language I have succumb to. (Random thought of the day, developed yesterday)

Love jibberish
Karma's a bitch but you can put her on a leash,
Thought about founding a program, one for the less intelligent folk who choose to abuse alcohol and cigarettes. With this program, a drinker would donate a lung to a smoker in exchange for a portion of said smoker’s liver, thereby alleviating the needs of both (more of a trade than a donation). However, a disclaimer would piggyback any literature for this program, stating that such a process would not necessarily provide the parties involved with a new found ability to make healthful decisions. This program- aptly named Lungs for Livers ®. I am, of course joking, unless this amasses the support (fiscal and otherwise) necessary to materialize.

Dear GOP,
During the State of the Union, President Obama pleaded with the republican congressmen present for their cooperation in concocting a healthcare plan that provided evident improvement to the system currently in place. The republicans folded. Fast forward a few months, and Obama is signing the new healthcare bill into law, essentially the same bill he and the majority leaders introduced to Congress. Have you ever been to a wedding? When the minister asks those in attendance to, "Speak now or forever hold your peace", he or she is politely asking that if anyone sees a disaster coming, if this marriage is a potential train wreck, open your mouth. Is Obama's plan going to result in unmanageable debt for future generations? I pray to God it won't. The sensible choice is try something, so I must support this new law. This is not a difficult conclusion to reach when the alternative is considered. I could not support it, I could aspire to be just as those who continue to shit their pants over the price tag on this beast. Congressmen have health insurance that rivals the president's and could likely support the homeless community of D.C. with the money the government would save if they took on a plan that approached reasonableness.
Also, McCain, best of luck with what is hopefully a benign tumor on your face.

Crazy going ons!
So I spoke the other day
and now it's a quote.
"Only famous people will be quoted"-Me
and now it's a quote.
"Only famous people will be quoted"-Me
So do people make the quote? Or do quotes make the person?
People hear words of inspiration all the time. They may put it to good use, and finally they get to have quotes in books and what not after they themselves are quoteworthy.
A person once said: "life goes on"

Almost
Aight Mi,
Terrell Owens is a terrible person. So much so, I would rather let my girlfriend spend the night at Tiger's house than wear number 81, let alone have him wear my gravity boots. Veto on the T.O.
-De
So what you're saying is...
De,
These boots will put people in their "place". Hmm sounds like a fascist regime or something.
What if we gave these boots to washed up athletes?
That would be marvelous.
What size is T.O.?

Cha-Ching!
Mi,
Hello gravity boot business. Imagine this.....on this flat world of yours.....there is no spinning core keeping people "down to earth" if you know what I mean. Verdict: make a dime with the invention of boots that create their own center of gravity.

I can only imagine...
Therapy..
given to and received by the same person with split personalities. They would surely save on the cost of therapy...Thinking about it makes my head spin. (I might need intervention after all)
On a different bill (perhaps a euro or a Clinton, or even a pla
typus)
I wish the earth was flat. Bye Bye earthquakes.

appropriated words
This is turning into a Q & A. Of course, for all the reader knows, this is simply a crazed blogger with multiple personality disorder. But therapy does seem propitious as well as necessary, and perhaps in the case of Mi, intervention?

Growing pain..
So we cater pain!
Except not, that is merely a byproduct of musing. We muse to amuse, but sometimes this musing fosters bemusement. Perhaps, we can cater some psychological therapy, De?

It's ok, it really is
Mi,
Truthfully, the thought bothered me from the moment of its birth. The goal was to ease the pain by sharing it with others, and I apologize for any unwanted repercussions. Sharing is caring folks. Oh and to clarify, we do not cater in the traditional sense; simply to your needs.

Hello World
I was disturbed to learn that my friend thinks about the possibility of Cher possessing a penis. And now it's on our blog poll. Personally, I am confused about a partial penis, but I voted for it, as it was the most fascinating option.
It's beautiful outside

Welcome!
Welcome one and all to Musings on Tap! Our doctrine is that all thought is free thought (we even share tea ;) ). Download at your leisure and be comforted that ideas will never die. The purpose is to incite thought and revolutionize ideas. We, the authors, share different perspectives on life and so this blog will indeed be 3 dimensional. Topics will be humorous and perhaps even silly. Topics will be serious and perhaps even morbid. Sentences will even contain parallel structure never experienced before. Oh and we cater :).
