Home sweet Hole

[Orik]

Face buried in the pillow
tears, stream slowly off the chin
one by one, they fall.
misery, depression, sadness on end.
grief just wont let me be

I fall, I fail, I flail, trying to keep my head
I feel often, I would be better off dead.
Yet the fear of the grave of a paupers funeral leaves me be
I draw a breath one two three

someone is knocking at the door
ignored and unanswered
I leave it alone as always

Last week It was some crack head
offering me money to let him in
f*ck off go away my answer to him
sighs gotta love my hood

wandering down this filthy hallway
vomit stains on the walls
cigarette burns on the floor
The smell of piss in the stairs
the ammonia in the hall
Damn look at that some guy
wrote with his sh-
all over the elevator walls.

gotta love this ghetto right
some hooker shooting up outside my door
sighs. yeah gotta love the ghetto right out side my door.

just last week my house was allover the news
some poor woman beaten almost to death
some guy from the second floor
accused and arrested for this heinous crime
that is if he really is guilty
and the cops aren't just making a easy case
the guys a little dim, a bit slow
if you know what I mean.
yeah I love this ghetto

for this they charge me 690 a month
gotta love my full 420 square feet
1 bedroom one bathroom one kitchen
oh yes don't forget that concrete balcony
3 feet wide by 4 feet long
sighs for this I work 9 hrs a day
and pay my taxes and i wonder Olympics yeah right
what a waste what is it 400 million spent on a highway
but new government job club's not one do I see
education job training social housing f*ck me
where is it? yeah way to go
yeah I love my country
just not today

anyone else just want to step out and away
to enter a monks cloister
for a month maybe three
perhaps all eternity
I gotta get away, I gotta escape
sighs if only I could actually afford the price
to escape to leave to get away
for a day or even three
I need to escape this insanity

it is ever so tempting to place pepper on my shoulder
harness in hand and just walk away leave it all behind
anyone want a computer and a tv that has great sound
the picture just no longer works.

I am tired
I am depressed
I hate me today
I hate my hood even more
today I saw a girl not yet 16
smoking crack and pulling dates
what a great ghetto

gotta love this town
Vancouver's East-side
what a place
I just want to f*cking scream.
sh- what a mess

peace to all I've said my bit
love em or hate em they are people too.
poor things to think I used to use too.
Aug. will be 14 years crack cocaine free

no, no cake for me
I don't celebrate that way.
I only need to look around
to remind me why I stay clean
every day, same after same

Man I need a raise a buck and a quarter
will just cover the notice I got
my rent is going up again
sighs gotta love the ghetto

gotta love the hood
my home sweet
this disgusting, filthy
sh-ty, stinky, hole
my home sweet home.

Anyone else want to go sailing
Ah, I can see it now
the wide open sea before me
the cesspool of Vancouver far behind

I think I would be tempted
to just keep going, to never look back
no more sh-ty, just to keep going
Till I reached some far foreign shore

Alas I lack the means
No boat, No passport, No money to spare.
sighs but I can still have my day dreams.
For now those are still free.

... excellent

where would one want to escape to, from Vancouver? I hear that Alberta the high today was 9 degrees......

[Orik]

all i need is sailing lessons  a sizable seaworthy vessel  and funds to sail around the world... and a life vest that will fit pepper.

any place 6700 miles away with sand bikinis and cheep beer will do.

[lou-Sepher]

Not bad, but check this out...
There once was a man from Tweeds
Who swallowed a bucket of seeds
A whole bunch of grass grew out of his ass
And his balls were covered in weeds,

[M Grenade]

[Orik]

Hmm do they make those for cats ?
If they do i am part way to making a dream come true... all i need is a boat ....lessons on how to sail it half way round the world and back again... and the funds to do so...

[lou-Sepher]

Perhaps you could get a bunch of dogs with life vests, tie them together as a raft, then just throw weiners in whichever direction you want to go.

[M Grenade]

I ran across this pic and just had to think WTF??

Bear and cat pals reunited at Berlin Zoo. (Reuters)
Reuters | Latest Financial News / Full News Coverage

BERLIN (Reuters) - Muschi, a small cat that formed an unlikely friendship with a half-ton bear called "mouse" in Berlin Zoo, has been reunited with her companion after pining outside the bear's cage for months, the zoo said Friday.
Muschi, which means "pussycat," has been popular with zoo visitors ever since she appeared in the bear's enclosure three years ago. But the pair were split up last October when the bear was locked in a cage while her living space was enlarged.

Zoo keepers took pity on the distraught cat that had taken to roaming around the zoo and sitting outside the cage, and this week allowed her in the cage with the shaggy female Asiatic black bear called "Maeuschen," which means little mouse.

"They greeted each other and had a cuddle and now they're happy," said Heiner Kloes, a member of the zoo's management board. "The cat has a real fan club, mostly among our older, regular visitors."

[lou-Sepher]

WTF??

[Moolah!]

Finding an apt. in better part of town sounds like a less costly solution.

[Orik]

true moo... but id rather live on a boat and sail round the world... thats why they are called dreams...

speaking of which it is time for me to head off to the land of nod... enter the sandman... exit stage left

[M Grenade]

have you met Salty Dog, Orik? He's into sailing and was posting stuff about how he finds things like lost shipping containers floating out at sea and stuff... sounds pretty intense

[M Grenade]

[Moolah!]

Sounds kind of romantic, but if you haven't sailed before and have no experience at it, you might be disappointed.

At first it looks as if you're getting away from all your worries, but in essence you're taking on a new set of worries that come with sailing.

[Orik]

yeah i have read some of his posts M.... sounds like something i'd love to do for a few months.

but im not much of a people person... I am to moody to live in a enclosed space with any one but my fleaball... and im not sure salty dog would like having me as his cabin boy... now wheres that fiber glass again []


Moolah  I have sailed before  part of the rcscc out of hmcs discovery and did bosun's training out of Hmcs Quadra...  i liked it then... and a new set of worries sounds more fun than staring at all this cold cement.. id rather be out on a tugboat  with out primary or secondary steering again being tossed about on a god enraged sea with 10 foot swells tossing us about... now that was wild...

good night all sleep well and wake...

[M Grenade]

I find the ocean to be a pretty scary thing actually, I like it and all, but when you are out there in it the massiveness of it all with the waves, not to mention the sharks, is pretty awe inspiring.

[Gordy Gambino]

I'm sure Salty dog will take you on as his cabin boy Orik!!!  But you'll have to supply your own lube!!!

[Orik]

No thanks gordy... this asshole is a exit only thanks... besides i don't like men that way....  now i really have to go get some damn sleep... cyah later  u all...

Ah, that must be tough!  Have you thought about volunteering on a tall ship?  Not sure if they'll take Pepper, but who knows!

[Gregg]

Ah Orik, with his wondefully positive poetry .. so positive in fact that I was unable to read the full thing.  Just a thought .. but I get the distinct impression that he is a Hungarian varju .!?!

[Orik]
