Raising Arizona

"So many social engagements... so little time."

- Raising Arizona

Monday, December 16, 2013

"Blood alone moves the wheels of history! Have you ever asked yourselves in an hour of meditation - which everyone finds during the day - how long we have been striving for greatness? Not only the years we've been at war - the war of work - but from the moment as a child, when we realize the world could be conquered. It has been a lifetime struggle - a never-ending fight, I say to you and you will understand that it is a privilege to fight. We are Warriors! Salesmen of north-eastern Pennsylvania, I ask you once more rise and be worthy of this historical hour. No revolution is worth anything unless it can defend itself. Some people will tell you salesman is a bad word. They'll conjure up images of used car dealers, and door to door charlatans. This is our duty to change their perception. I say, salesmen and women of the world... unite! We must never acquiesce, for it is together... together that we prevail. We must never cede control of the Motherland...for it together that we prevail!"

Thug Life

And as long as I stay black,
I gotta stay strapped,
And I never get to lay back,
Always worry 'bout the payback,
Some punk I roughed up way back,
Comin' back after all these years...
Rat-tat-tat-tat-tat
That's the way it is
