And as we wind on down the road...our shadows taller than our soul

He had white horses
And ladies by the score
All dressed in satin
And waiting by the door

Ooooh, what a lucky man he was
Ooooh, what a lucky man he was

White lace and feathers
They made up his bed
A gold covered mattress
On which he was laid
Ooooh, what a lucky man he was
Ooooh, what a lucky man he was

He went to fight wars
For his country and his king
Of his honor and his glory
The people would sing
Ooooh, what a lucky man he was
Ooooh, what a lucky man he was

A bullet had found him
His blood ran as he cried
No money could save him
So he laid down and he died
Ooooh, what a lucky man he was
Ooooh, what a lucky man he was

I have always been fascinated with the medieval times. How simplistic life seemed to be in those days. You could make a name for yourself through your deeds. A fair maiden would catch your eye and ignite your world. Respect was a common thing and chivalry was to be aspired to.

How the hell have we progressed this far? Today's world may as well be alien from those times. Yet, I think something is to be learned from those noble times. I sat down last night and started reading the history of Europe and how it came to be. Fascinating. There has been so much knowledge we as a people have lost and had to re-learn.

How did we lose that knowledge? Was it the result of mass warfare, looting, and the rape of civilizations? Or did we just choose to forget? They recently found an ancient cache of beautifully wrought gold sculptures in Bulgaria...dating back to over 8000 BC. 8000 BC!!

Take a look at the Romans. Not only did the conquer the world, they conquered the future. Take the coliseum for instance...seating for 80,000 and it could be emptied in 10 minutes. If that isn't engineering at it's finest, you tell me what is.

Hurricane Katrina has reduced many of our own in this great nation to nothing more than survivalists...not knowing when or where help will come from. Poor New Orleans is just a giant bowl holding all that water in...6-10 ft below sea level to begin with...just go to your kitchen and fill up a bowl with water to get the effect of what has happened down there. God be with them all and inspire those in a position to help...

It was great to chill out in Huntington last night like old times. Adam and myself have been thru a lot of shit and thru it all have remained strong...that's rare...nothin will ever be like just chillin on the porch in the middle of the night..be it rain or shine and talkin bout everything that's facing us and getting it off our chests...friends are what get you through this life...friends.

Just keep putting one foot in front of the other...you never know...where you end up may be just where you needed to...
