On a dark and lonely highway
I need the Son to raise my head
I come before you, I am naked…
The man I am now must be shed~

I’ve weathered storms and I am broken
my beaten heart is in your hands.
What I really need is shelter~
And a chance to relearn love.

Teach me all over, all over
To relearn love.
Show me again…
So I can relearn love.

The comfort of your arms around me,
Your tender hands caress my head
I am beside you, but I am not worthy
This jaded man’s not who I am.

I touched the flame and I’ve been burned~
All I need’s a second chance…

Give me eyes of a child
And teach this man to relearn love

Teach me all over, all over
To relearn love
Show me again…

To relearn love
Teach me all over, all over
To relearn love
Show me again…

So I can relearn love

I was selfish, but you still love me
You gave the greatest gift of all
And it set me free

If youre just visiting “Ratchet_Ravings” for the first time know this:
The people on this group are the people that you depend on.
We install your equiptment. We cook your meals and provide your supplements.
We haul your trash. We sell your gym memberships. We connect your calls.
We drive your ambulances. We make the movies that you are about to watch.
We guard you while you sleep. Do not fuck with us…

If you are a newly register commenting and contributing member of this site:
This is a chemical burn. It will hurt more than any pain you have ever previously known, in a way you previously could not have imagined.
You will be burned, and you will have a scar.
Stay with the pain.
Don’t shove to center. Do NOT seek out your “happy-place”.
Look at your hand.
The first soap was made by the ashes of heroes, like the first monkey shot into space. Without pain without sacrifice, we would have nothing.
This is your pain. This is burning hand. It’s right here. Don’t deal with it the way those dead people do! Come on! What your feeling is premature enlightenment. This is the greatest moment of your life, man, and you’re off somewhere missing it. Our fathers were models for god. If our fathers bailed, what does that tell you about god? listen to me. You have to consider the possibility that god does not like you. He never wanted you. In all probability, he hates you. This is not the worst thing that can happen. We don’t need Him. Fuck damnation Fuck redemption. We’re are gods unwanted children? So be it!! listen!! You can run water over your hand and make it worse or…look at me.. or you can use vinegar to neutralize the burn. First you have to give up. First you have to know, not fear, know that someday you’re gonna die. Its only after you’ve lost everything that you’re free to do anything.

To all the active members of Ratchet_Ravings:
Listen up, butter_cup.
You are not special. You are not a beautiful or unique snowflake.
You’re the same decaying organic matter as everything else.
You’re not your job. You’re not how much money you have in the bank. You’re not the Porsche that you drive. You’re not the contents of your wallet.
You are not the remaining 23 months of your 2 year gym membership….
You are not your fucking khakis.

“Congratulations” Finally!

It’s been more than thirty years since the wolf
and the winter cold.
And now,
as then,
it is not fear that grips him, only restlesness.

Everyone of them ready, to die.

Do not be afraid that your life will end….
be afraid that it will never truly begin.

Let us pray~

Father thank you for making me righteous
and accepted through the blood of Jesus.
Because of that I am blessed and highly favored by You

I am the object of Your affection.

Your favor surrounds me as a shield~
and the first thing that people come in contact with is my favored shield.

Thank you that I have favor with You and man today.

All day long, people go out of their way to bless and to help me~
I have favor with everyone that I deal with today.

Doors that were once closed are now open for me~
I receive preferential treatment and I have special priveledges.

I am God’s favorite child
No good thing will He withhold from me~
Because of God’s favor my enemies cannot triumph over me.

I have supernatural increase in promotions~
I declare restoration of everything
that the devil has stolen from me!

I have honor in the midst of my adversaries
and an increase of assets~
especially in real estate and an expansion of territory.

Because I am highly favored by God I experience great victories,
Supernatural turn-arounds and miraculous breakthroughs
in the midst of great impossibilities.

I receive recognition, prominence and honor~
petitions are granted to me even by unGodly authorities.

Policies, rules, regulations and laws
are changed and reversed on my behalf.

I win battles that I don’t even have to fight~
because God fights them for me.

This is the day,
the set time,
the designated moment for me to experience the free favors of God
that profusely and lavishly abound on my behalf.

In Jesus MIGHTY name we have prayed;
Amen, and Amen

j/x

” S t a y ”

I’ve been sitting here staring at the clock
on the wall
And I’ve been laying here praying,
praying she won’t call

It’s just another call from home
And you’ll get it and be gone
And I’ll be crying

And I’ll be begging you, baby
Beg you not to leave
But I’ll be left here
waiting
With my Heart on my sleeve

Oh, for the next time we’ll be here
Seems like a million years
And I think I’m dying

What do I have to do to make you see
She can’t love you like me

Why don’t you stay
I’m down on my knees
I’m so tired of being lonely
Don’t I give you what you need
When she calls you to go
There is one thing you should know
We don’t have to live this way
Baby, why don’t you stay

You keep telling me, baby
There will come a time
When you will leave her arms
And forever be in mine
But I don’t think that’s the truth
And I don’t like being used
and I’m tired of waiting

It’s too much pain to have to bare
To love a man you have to share

Why don’t you stay
I’m down on my knees
I’m so tired of being lonely
Don’t I give you what you need
When she calls you to go
There is one thing you should know
We don’t have to live this way
Baby, why don’t you stay

I can’t take it any longer
But my will is getting stronger
And I think I know just what I have to do
I can’t waste another minute
After all that I’ve put in it
I’ve given you my best
W h y d o e s s h e g e t t h e b e s t o f y o u ?
So next time you find,
you wanna leave her bed for mine

Why don’t you stay
I ‘ m u p of f m y k n e e s ~
I’m so tired of being lonely
You can’t give me what I need
When she begs you not to go
There is one thing you should know
I don’t have to live this way
Baby, why don’t you stay

I love you whether or not you love me

I love you even if you think that I dont

Sometimes I find you doubt my love for you,

but I dont mind

Why should I mind, why should I mind

?What is love anyway, does anybody love anybody anyway?

Can anybody love anyone so much that
they will never fear?
never worry? never be sad?

The answer is they cannot
love this much
nobody can

This is why I dont mind u doubting

And maybe love is letting people be just what they want to be
The door always must be left unlocked to

love when circumstance may lead someone away from you

And not to spend the time just doubting

Seems like it was yesterday
when I saw your face

You told me how proud you were but I walked away

If only I knew what I know today….
Ooh, Oooh..

I would hold you in my arms
I would take the pain away
Thank you for all you’ve done
Forgive all your mistakes

There’s nothing I wouldn’t do
To hear your voice again
Sometimes I want to call you
But I know you won’t be there

OOh, I’m sorry for blaming you
For everything
I just couldn’t do
And I’ve hurt myself, by hurting you.

Somedays I feel broke inside but I won’t admit
Sometimes I just want to hide,
cause it’s you I miss
And it’s so hard to say “goodbye”
When it comes to this

Oooh, Yeah..

Would you tell me I was wrong?

Would you help me understand?

Are you looking down upon me?

Are you proud of who I am?

There’s nothing I wouldn’t do
To have just one more chance
To look into your eyes
And see you looking back

OOh, I’m sorry for blaming you
For everything I just couldn’t do
And I’ve hurt myself, Oooh..

Oooh, It’s dangerous
so out of line…
to try and turn back time…blockquote>

I wish
I could
touch you again

I wish
I could
still call you friend
I’d
give
a n y t h i n g…

When someone said: count your blessings now
‘fore they’re long gone
I guess I just didn’t know how

I was all wrong

They knew better

Still you said forever
And ever

?Who knew?

Yeah~
I’ll keep you locked in my head
Until we meet again
Until we
Until we meet again
And I won’t forget you my friend
What happened

If someone said three years from now
You’d be long gone
I’d stand up and punch them out
Cause they’re all wrong and
That last kiss
I’ll cherish
Until we meet again

And time makes
It harder
I wish I could remember
But I keep
Your memory
You visit me in my sleep
My darling

?Who knew?
My darling

My darling
Who knew?

I miss you
My darling
Who knew

If you
wait for me~
then Ill
come for you

Although Ive traveled far…

I always hold a place for you in my heart

If you think of me,
if you miss me once in awhile
Then Ill return to you
Ill return and fill that space in your heart

Remembering…

Your touch
Your kiss
Your warm embrace

Ill find my way
back to you
If youll be waiting

If you dream of me
like I dream of you
In a place thats warm and dark
In a place where I can feel the beating of your heart

Remembering
Your touch
Your kiss
Your warm embrace

…Ill find my way back to you
If youll be waiting

Ive longed for you and I have desired
To see your face
your smile
To be with you w h e r e v e r you are

Remembering
Your touch
Your kiss
Your warm embrace

Ill find my way back to you

If youll be waiting

Ive longed for you and I have desired too see your face,
your smile
To be with you wherever you are

Remembering
Your touch
Your kiss
Your warm embrace

Ill find my way back to you

Please say youll be waiting

Together again
It would feel so good to be
In your arms
Where all my journeys end

If you can make a promise…

if its one that you can keep,
I vow to come for you

If you wait for me
and say youll hold
A
place
for
me
in your heart.

Just took a turbo-mini-Cooper for a sp!n for the first time~

k, it didn’t look ZACKLY like the one picture above, but *wow*~
whadda Ride!

German engineered feel and handling~ with expectional quality interior.

Many of the controls feel like the features u might find on a jet, or in an airplane~

Bigger on the inside than it appears on the outside the Super~Cooper S is a delicious blend of metals, graphites, and motor!

Kinda mocked ‘em before… but now one the “TURBO-MINI_COOPER S” is DEFINATELY on my list of upcoming desire purchases!!!

Arizona update on my Poker Progress.

Based on my current Bankroll- I am nearing the Exit of Stage “C”.
Entering Stage “D” requires a BR that should be attainable in approximately 10 months, by December of 2008.

Bankroll is the #1 Current drag on the Machine.
Education, Experience and “next level” Ability are #2,#3 +#4.

Keep an eye on my Progress in 2008.

And then,
2009 should be the BreakThrough year according to Peers.

This will be a “Perpetual Motion” year.
A time that I will be Breaking Through the Gravitational Pull of my own personal $trato$phere.

btw~ special Thanks to those of U who ongoingly support my Poker Dreams and Aspirations!

-Ratchet
