			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="posterous_autopost">Yo humans I've been feeling prolific and proficient lately, got those legs pumping and ain't giving up no ground.</p>
<p>So many opportunites with so little cash, so much fun to be had makin the dash, but I have big billskys, crying babeskys swirling around.</p>
<p>On I march through thick and thin living the best in the skin I'm in. I borrow old song lines when I post as a crutch, I know, but my crippled ass is on a mission. What can I say I have no rhyme but lots of reasons.</p>
<p>I have two books in the works because I want to publish something beautiful for the shelf or the table or your bag:  1 is a book of 2merica imagery and lyrics, the other is a book of my writing, mainly poetry. Both are in production now but I have no firm timeline. They will of course be for sale online.</p>
<p>Also, the next 2 tracks from Scherzo Elskorpion are almost ready for mastering. Like the debut "Never Met Tomorrow", they are full band let's go all the way affairs and I think you will dig both "Keep Steady" and "Mass Entertainment".</p>
<p>Now if I could only finish the remaining 2 tracks and put out all 5 on vinyl I'd be the most happiest boy alive. That's a nice long term goal, please check with me on that one later.</p>

<p>Then there's your vices,</p>

<p>You have your work,</p>

<p>Don't ever forget the groundwork, that's key</p>

<p>I know that big brain gets used for something.</p>
<p>Time costs money and money takes time to get.</p>
<p>Everything else on that list above just has to fit.</p>
<p>I juggle without a crowd or a funny hat.</p>
<p>I juggle because it's the only way i know.</p>
<p>Focus is not lacking... some resources are.</p>
<p>Focus has brought us here / so very far.</p>
<p>I, me, my writer of this piece --</p>
<p>I continue to be too uncommon,</p>
<p>too unfortunate,</p>
<p>too busy to really care.</p>
<p>I make my art though thick and thin.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So its been a long while i know<br />
But much has been happening around me<br />
Since i last opened my space<br />
And your face to my reality</p>
<p>A new studio has sprung<br />
Bigger harder stronger than the last one<br />
The Flux-adel Recording Division<br />
Is open for business. As they say,<br />
Recording is progress</p>
<p>2merica is as vital as ever<br />
Better late than never<br />
El motto de skorpions!<br />
Pedal hard my darlings<br />
Cuz the devil is on our tail</p>
<p>Too many corporate bands biting<br />
Our sound style idea hope<br />
I ain't mad at this compliment<br />
It's my fave way to cope<br />
These days.</p>
<p>Although i admit no shortage of hope<br />
In town and around the globe<br />
I am watching the former foreign fear peddlers<br />
Spin themselves into an American<br />
Dream turned nightmare for their corporate sponsored<br />
Worker fearing apocalyptic vision of our very beautiful<br />
Present. Tense sense of relief.<br />
And oh yeah we started a bad ass new band.</p>
<p>The Bushes have quietly waved<br />
Goodbye and returned to Texas<br />
and we survived.<br />
God Bless us all, hallelujah!<br />
Only stronger and perhaps<br />
Smarter... yeah right<br />
But at least our new prez<br />
Don't get stage fright<br />
And talks to us like we've actually<br />
Been walking on this earth more than a decade<span id="more-64"></span><!--more--></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Life is hard...<br />
such an understatement<br />
slash obvioustatement<br />
A function of the calendar maybe<br />
but it still hits you hard<br />
Daily, weekly, seemingly every single season<br />
someone goes down with an injury<br />
Seasons change, things rearrange<br />
while the collective scar ages ahead of you<br />
Everyone wanting<br />
more more more<br />
Wanting wars to end<br />
Wanting wars to start<br />
Wanting money<br />
Wanting respect<br />
Wanting trust<br />
Wanting a hug<br />
Wanting everyone<br />
and no one<br />
to know<br />
how fugged up they are<br />
Their skins and their scars...</p>
<p>Yet there are flowers.<br />
so it's all gonna work out fine.</p>
<p>.:::}{ on that note }{:::.</p>
<p>LP3 is REAL DEAL holyfield<br />
with a full ear<br />
it will endear itself to you<br />
through tricks from flicks<br />
old and new<br />
all live tracks (who knew?)</p>
<p>Just a little scorpion storytelling for you all<br />
coming soon, maybe by fall.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There's something beyond being the base. Perhaps it's the simple math done by moving the decimal. Maybe it's a obvious as the 10 digits hanging at the end of our arms when we are born. Does someone missing a finger work better in nines? Hard to say.</p>
<p>Point being the term "decade" and it's intrigue. When freed from it's VH1 confines of loving the 1st integer and ignoring the rest, a decade can prove to be even more interesting. Did music change more from 1980 to 1990 or 1984-1994? Well, that's difficult..... music talk is for arguing. What about your life? Surely no one's life is tied to 0-9 but it can change dramatically in 10 years.</p>
<p>Perhaps we just like grouping things in ways we can handle. We might live 80 years but 80 is too far out there. Tell me 80 phone numbers from memory. 80 books you've read. 80 stories about your cute and hyper-intelligent kid(s). Even our favorite topics don't usually go 80 deep. Nor would you carry general reviews of each of your 80 years with you. See 1983 was different from 1985 in many ways..... yawn..... ok grandpa.</p>
<p>A decade though? Well even the best of us won't see more than 9 of those. More like 5-6 full of memories for most of us, probably only 1-3 so far amongst my readers. So yeah, grouping things in 10 doesn't bother me in the least, I just ask that you consider sliding your start and end points and seeing what you find. I just found this, written about 10 years ago. Prescient, eh?</p>
