A Shot of Jack

I love the commentary

class act part one

1 gazillion trillion bazillion

When we die the world will understand what we were truly worth. $1 dollar sketches will be worth more than 1 thousand dollars, 1 hundred dollar drawings will be worth more than 100 thousand dollars, and 1 thousand dollar paintings will be worth more than 1 million dollars...so don't kill us yet. I suggest keeping us alive for as long as you can afford to pay for original Artwork. Then when your grandchildren have grown up, and they ask you "what was your secret to becoming rich and successful in life' you can tell them over your gourmet dinners and expensive wine that you made a wise investment when you were younger. You can tell them about us artists, and the lottery tickets that we created.

Snakes & Ladders

Behind his mask
the puppet master is practicing black magic
packing mad tricks up his sleeve
so trust me
now is not the time to sleep
big trouble will find you
if your too blinded to read
the warning signs that heed
"we are our own worst enemies"
dont let them win
giving in to sins:
fear, lust jealously and greed
thats like investing trust into a drug fiend
your most prized posessions
could meaning nothing to them
so think twice before you roll the dice
on your most precious gems
This world can be so cold cruel and unfair
some just dont care
fronting like they your famm
when really there aint no love there
snakes are shallow
and mostly hollow from ear to ear
using your success for leverage
but in troubled times trouble they disappear?
>The aim of the game is to attain moksha
focus and maintain
taming the cobra untill the game is truly over
learning the tricks of the trade
training hard every day
for war can only be postponed
to the benefit of your prey
strategically I play opponents like chess
forseeing the outcome
one by one it wont stop
till my feet surpass the top rung
God's sun forever taking caution of the triple six
who try to send me back to square one
like I don’t notice him?
In the game of chance
dancing with devils' there is much to risk
but Im too humble to force a puzzle piece in if it doesnt fit.
On top of snake shit with a birds eye view
aware that its a dirty game filled with broken unwritten rules
scenereo 2 protected by truth
I can not lose
Protected by the truth..
I wil not lose

I hope this makes sense

Le meurtre de moi au nom de l'amour n'est pas l'amour
si je tombe, nous tombons
Je meurs pour vous connaître
mais je ne suis pas vraiment disposé à mourir
comme tentant comme il est..
Je ne me tuerai pas pour vous avoir
votre beauté est au-delà de ce monde mais..
Je ne me perdrai pas juste pour recevoir un coup d'oeil plus proche
aussi romantique qu'il semble...
Je ne me quitterai pas pour vous trouver
Non pas cette fois
Plutôt...
Je décomposerai tous les murs que j'ai construits contre l'amour
et je vous trouverai ici...
à l'intérieur de moi..
avec moi...
comme vous étiez toujours






Vrai Amour (REVISED)

Le meurtre de moi au nom de l'amour n'est pas l'amour
si je tombe, nous tombons
Je meurs pour vous connaître
mais je ne suis pas vraiment disposé à mourir
même si c'est vrai que ça me tente
Je ne me tuerai pas pour vous avoir
votre beauté est au-delà de ce monde mais..
Je ne me perdrai pas juste pour recevoir un coup d'oeil plus proche
aussi romantique qu'il semble...
Je ne me quitterai pas pour vous trouve
Non pas cette fois
mais..si tu le veux/je mettrai à terre (or-je fendrai) tous ces murs autour de moi/qui me protège, contre l'amour
et je vous trouverai ici...
à l'intérieur de moi..
avec moi...
comme vous l'ête quand même/toujours

E U G E N I O

From the Latin Eugenius and the Greek Eugenios, names derived from eugenes (well-born, noble).

noble and humble it was invented by a bunch of popes.

EUGENE
Gender: Masculine

Usage: English

Pronounced: YOO-jeen [key]

English form of Eugenius, the Latin form of the Greek name Ευγενιος (Eugenios) which was derived from the Greek word ευγενης (eugenes) meaning "well born". It is composed of the elements ευ "good, well" and γενης (genes) "born". This was the name of several saints and four popes.
This name was not particularly common in Western Europe during the Middle Ages. It became more popular in part due to the fame of Prince Eugene of Savoy (1663-1736), a French-born general who served the Austrian Empire. A notable bearer was the American playwright Eugene O'Neill (1888-1953).

Ne Me Quitte Pas

French
Ne Me Quitte Pas
Il faut oublier
Tout peut s'oublier
Qui s'enfuit déjà
Oublier le temps
Des malentendus
Et le temps perdu
A savoir comment
Oublier ces heures
Qui tuaient parfois
A coups de pourquoi
Le coeur du bonheur

Ne me quitte pas x's 4

Moi je t'offrirai
Des perles de pluie
Venues de pays
Oú il ne pleuit pas
Je creuserai la terre
Jusqu'après ma mort
Pour couvrir ton corps
D'or et de lumière
Je ferai un domaine
Oú l'mour sera roi
Où l'amour sera loi
Oú tu seras reine

Ne me quitte pas X's 5

Je t'inventerai
Des mots insensés
Que tu comprendras
Je te parlerai
De ces amants-lá
Qui ont vue deux fois
Leurs coeurs s'embraser
Je te raconterai
L'histoire de ce roi
Mort de n'avoir pas
Pu te rencontrer

Ne me quitte pas x's 4

On a vu souvent
Rejaillir le feu
De l'ancien volcan
Qu'on croyait trop vieux
Il est paraît-il
Des terres brûlées
Donnant plus de blé
Qu'un meilleur avril
Et quand vient le soir
Pour qu'un ciel flamboie
Le rouge et le noir
Ne s'épousent-ils pas

Ne me quitte pas x's 5

Je ne vais plus pleurer
Je ne vais plus parler
Je me cacherai lá
A te regarder
Danser et sourire
Et à t'écouter
Chanter et puis rire
Laisse-moi devenir
L'ombre de ton ombre
L'ombre de ta main
L'ombre de ton chien

Ne me quitte pas x's 4
English
Don't Leave Me
We must forget
all that can be forgotten
that already has passed away
Forget the times
of misunderstandings,
and the times lost
trying to know how
Forget those hours
which sometimes killed
in attacks of "whys"
the heart of happiness

Don't leave me (4 times)

I'll give you
pearls of rain
comming from countries
where it never rains
I will dig the earth
until my death
to cover your body
with gold and lights
I will make a land
where love will be king
where love will be law
where you will be queen.

Don't leave me (5 times)

I'll creat for you (make up)
crazy words (words without sense)
That you will understand
I'll tell you
about the lovers
who have twice seen
their hearts catch fire
I'll tell you
the story of this king
who died from not
being able to meet you

Don't leave me (4 times)

We often see
the fire erupt
from the ancient volcano
we once thought too old
It is shown that
lands that were burned
gave more wheat
than the best April
And when the evening comes
with the sky blazing
the red and the black
which doesn't blend

Don't leave me (5 times)

I won't cry anymore
I won't talk anymore
I will hide there
To watch you
dance and smile
and to hear you
sing and then laugh
Let me become
the shadow of your shadow
the shadow of your hand
the shadow of your god

Don't leave me (4 times)

Stoic quotations
Below is a selection of quotations by major Stoic philosophers illustrating major Stoic beliefs:

Epictetus:

"Freedom is secured not by the fulfilling of one's desires, but by the removal of desire." (iv.1.175)
"Where is the good? In the will. Where is the evil? In the will. Where is neither of them? In those things that are independent of the will." (ii.16.1)
"Man is disturbed not by things, but by the views he takes of them." (Ench. 5)
"If, therefore, any be unhappy, let him remember that he is unhappy by reason of himself alone." (iii.24.2)
"I am formed by nature for my own good: I am not formed for my own evil." (iii.24.83)
"Permit nothing to cleave to you that is not your own; nothing to grow to you that may give you agony when it is torn away." (iv.1.112)
Marcus Aurelius:

"Get rid of the judgment, get rid of the 'I am hurt,' you are rid of the hurt itself." (viii.40)
"Everything is right for me, which is right for you, O Universe. Nothing for me is too early or too late, which comes in due time for you. Everything is fruit to me which your seasons bring, O Nature. From you are all things, in you are all things, to you all things return." (iv.23)
"If you work at that which is before you, following right reason seriously, vigorously, calmly, without allowing anything else to distract you, but keeping your divine part pure, as if you were bound to give it back immediately; if you hold to this, expecting nothing, but satisfied to live now according to nature, speaking heroic truth in every word which you utter, you will live happy. And there is no man able to prevent this." (iii.12)
"How ridiculous and how strange to be surprised at anything which happens in life!" (xii.13)
"Outward things cannot touch the soul, not in the least degree; nor have they admission to the soul, nor can they turn or move the soul; but the soul turns and moves itself alone." (iv.3)
"Because your own strength is unequal to the task, do not assume that it is beyond the powers of man; but if anything is within the powers and province of man, believe that it is within your own compass also" (vi.19)
"Or is it your reputation that's bothering you? But look at how soon we're all forgotten. The abyss of endless time that swallows it all. The emptiness of those applauding hands." (iv.3

Stoicism

"The Stoic philosopher Epictetus posited that the greatest good was contentment and serenity. Peace of mind, or Apatheia, was of the highest value; self-mastery over one's desires and emotions leads to spiritual peace. The "unconquerable will" is central to this philosophy. The individual's will should be independent and inviolate. Allowing a person to disturb the mental equilibrium is in essence offering yourself in slavery. If a person is free to anger you at will, you have no control over your internal world, and therefore no freedom. Freedom from material attachments is also necessary. If a thing breaks, the person should not be upset, but realize it was a thing that could break. Similarly, if someone should die, those close to them should hold to their serenity because the loved one was made of flesh and blood destined to death. Stoic philosophy says to accept things that cannot be changed, resigning oneself to existence and enduring in a rational fashion. Death is not feared. People do not "lose" their life, but instead "return", for they are returning to God (who initially gave what the person is as a person). Epictetus said difficult problems in life should not be avoided, but rather embraced. They are spiritual exercises needed for the health of the spirit, just as physical exercise is required for the health of the body. He also stated that sex and sexual desire are to be avoided as the greatest threat to the integrity and equilibrium of a man's mind. Abstinence is highly desirable. Epictetus said remaining abstinent in the face of temptation was a victory for which a man could be proud.[7]"
