March 25,

Today I learned this

Also, be wary of anyone who starts an argument every time you express yourself,
your feelings or your ideas.

It takes so much effort just to gather the courage to do so and they would immediately cast you down like you’re crazy.

Not cool.
Not cool at all.

Not Working

None of the Single music posts are currently working for ..
God knows how long.

I never really knew it, up until today.
Shows you how many people listen to my crap.
That includes me, I guess.

Anyway.

I’m working on it.

You just sit there and look pretty.
Not that you really care.

Quote of the day

“Music doesn’t always help me heal.
But at least playing is my way of talking to myself.
My Guitar listens. She agrees with me.”

New Song Added – Somewhere Down The Road

Yes, I covered a Manilow.
I don’t care what you say, but Barry is one hell of a songwriter.
An amazing talent and voice to boot.

This is the first time I recorded a song
using Garageband. And I am still learning lots from it.

This is just a simple cover with piano and voice.
I was going to add some more, but I stopped right there.

This is one of my favourite songs.
I wish I can be like Mr. Manilow
who can write songs that make the whole world sing.
Songs of love and special things.
Or what makes young girls cry.
Yiiihhiiiii!!!

Anyways,
Here’s

Somewhere Down The Road
Music by: Barry Manilow
Piano and Voice by: Ty Martell

Ty’s Prophecy

Earthquake – “Lindol” in Tagalog.

It was reported that there was an Earthquake in the Philippines today.
There was also one in Southern California and one in Hawaii.
All in the same day.

Earthquakes are not to be taken lightly.
I have experienced one of the country’s historic devastating misfortunes.
I know how it feels when one is in progress.

Good Friday

As Tracy asks me what “Good Friday” really is,
or what we basically do on this day.

I said,
“Well, with respect to the day when Jesus died for our sins,
we try to remember our sins and ask for forgiveness.”

“Really?” she says.
“What else?” she added.

I said,
“What do you mean what else?
That would pretty much take the whole day.
And sometimes the whole Saturday too, just in case.”

Oh and just because it’s a holiday,
we make sure no one will go out partying.
Nor be happy.
And no laughter either.

Or else you will burn in hell!
And share a room with Hitler.

Warning, warning

Warning: long overdue rant coming up.

It has been almost a week, since the war in Iraq has erupted.
And I know, you don’t want to hear any of more of this,
but I am going to write my opinion of it since,
it’s going to offend someone, one way or another anyway.

Don’t get me wrong, I am not a big fan of war.
And I do not know much of the war for me either to support or condone it.

But I do believe the time for Saddam Hussein to be ousted has come.
But do you think as a dictator, he will step down voluntarily?
This “Leader of a country” who has killed anyone who opposes him, would listen
to the pleas of the U.N. to step down and give up his power?

You think that the U.N inspectors who went to Iraq to see if Saddam really does have
weapons that violate the international law, can disarm him by themselves?

No!
That was just to inspect!!
And if ever there was proof that he was hiding something, what do you think the U.N. will do?

Oh please Mr. Hussein, sorry to bother you but, would you kindly get rid your weapons.
They are kinda not abiding to the rules.

We’ll I bet you Saddam has two words for them.
And one of them is “OFF”

And crap, the inspectors were sent there numerous times, and still found nothing?
You know why? All these inspectors are men.
Men can’t find anything you ask them to.

Inspectors my ass, send them my Mother.
She can find out any misdemeanor my brother and I were trying to plan.
She also found all of our girly magazines,
No matter how hard we try to hide them.
She can smell trouble, a mile away.
Saddam’s weapons are no match for her.

Next, the Media.
I have been glued to CNN since the war started.
And would somebody please tell these people to ease up on the information.
Do they think that Saddam, who owns weapons of mass destruction, does not have cable?
Way to go CNN!,
to proudly announce that the U.S. and Britain military forces
are about to reach Baghdad.
Way to go.

Next, these celebrities who can’t keep their mouth shut.
Listen you over paid, line memorizing, I think I am important because
I was invited to the Oscars – script regurgitator.
Let the government deal with the situation okay?
Do you think Hollywood can do a better job?
Why don’t you go take some acting lessons so I get my $5.00 worth when I rent
your movie at Blockbusters.

Also, why only the Dixie Chicks are suffering from media scrutiny, because of what
they said about George Bush?
What about the others? And what about freedom of speech?
They just said what their opinion was, and that’s just it.
I don’t see them running the country.
Leave them alone!

So what if they are trashing Bush?
Crap, Some Government minister’s here in Canada, even called him a Moron!

Speaking of Canada,
How amazing it is as you consider the U.S. a good friend.
Well, how does it feel to betray your friend in time of need?
I wonder how you would feel if it was the other way around.

In it’s defense though, I think the reason why Canada did not send any military
or army troops in Iraq, is because, we don’t have enough of these brave men and women
to fill up a fighter jet, an army tank or a Hummer.
Our main Battleship is at the Edmonton Mall, guarding the GAP.

And have you ever seen a debate session at the parliament?
Oh my God, what a bunch of Yahoos!
They totally diss and embarrass each other.
Indirectly, I might add.
They say their insults and comebacks thru the Speaker of Congress,
not to each other.
Hey, I guess they have to be polite.

And this one is for the country who has never won a war,
and the president’s name is Chirac.
I hope you are watching the news, and see how a real soldier fights.
Watch and you might learn something.

To the protestors,
We all know that Saddam kills his own people.
He has killed hundreds, if not thousands of Iraqi’s thru Terrorism,
Gas Chamber, and what have you.

Do you seriously think that keeping him in power would promote peace in Iraq?

Are you protesting because, you think Saddam can change his ways or you are just
joining the hype, and you have no clue on what’s happening.

Then again, you say,
“but war is not the answer”.

I know, and I agree.

Just like that song which I can’t remember who sang it, says,
“War!!,
What is it good for, absolutely nothing!”

And if I have any other solution for it, I will be the head of the U.N.
and not here watching CNN like it was the “Family Guy” marathon.

Oh I know who did that song, Chris Tucker, or Jackie Chan.

Now to end this little rant,
Here’s to hoping that the war would not last,
For the innocent people of Iraq to live free and be prosperous,
For the brave soldiers of our time, you are our heroes,
And for the rest to have their regulary scheduled TV Programming.

Thank you.
