How to be a Rocker Chick
1. Don't moan about being a chick, refer to feminism or complain about sexist discrimination. We've all been thrown down the stairs and fucked about, but no one wants to hear a whining female. Write a loosely disguised song about it instead and clean up ($).
2. Never pretend to know more then you do. If you don't know chord names refer to the dots. Don't go near the desk unless you plan on becoming an engineer.
3. Make the other band members look and sound good. Bring out the best in them; that's your job. Oh, and you better sound good too.
4. Do not insist in working with "females." That's just more b.s. Get the best man for the job. If it happens to be a woman, great - you'll have someone to go to department stores with on tour instead of making one of the road crew go with you.
5. Try not to have a sexual relationship within the band. It always ends in tears.
6. Don't think that sticking your boobs out and trying to look fuckable will help. Remember you're in a rock and roll band. It's not "fuck me," it's "fuck you"!
7. Don't try to compete with the guys; it won't impress anybody. Remember, one of the reasons they like you is because you don't offer yet more competition to the already existing male egos.
8. If you sing, don't "belt" or "screech". No one wants to hear that shit; it sounds "hysterical"
9. Shave your legs, for chrissake!
10. Don't take advice from people like me. Do your own thing always.

My state of mind
Remember when you ran away and I got on my knees and begged you not to leave because I'd go berzerk?
Well, you left me anyhow and the days got worse and worse and now you see I've gone completely out of my mind.
And They're coming to take me away Ha Ha
They're coming to take me away ho ho he he ha ha
to the funny farm where life is beautiful all the time, and I'll be happy to see those nice young men in their clean white coats
and they're coming to take me away ha ha
You thought it was joke and so you laughed, you laughed when I had said that losing you would make me flip my lid, right? You know you laughed, I heard you laugh, you laughed, you laughed and laughed and then you left, but now you know I'm utterly mad.
And they're coming to take me away Ha Ha
They're coming to take me away ho ho he he ha ha
To the happy home with trees and flowers and chirping birds and basket weavers who sit and smile and twiddle their thumbs and toes
They're coming to take me away ha ha...
I cooked your food, I cleaned your house, and this is how you paid me back for all my kind unselfish loving deeds. Huh? Well you just wait they'll find you yet, and when they do they'll put you in the ASPCA you mangy mutt.
And They're coming to take me away Ha Ha
They're coming to take me away ho ho he he ha ha
To the funny farm where life is beautiful all the time and I'll be happy to see those nice men in their clean white coats
They're coming to take me away Ha Ha

They're coming to take me away ho ho he he ha ha
To the happy home with trees and flowers and chirping birds and basket weavers who sit and smile and twiddle thier thumbs and toes
They're coming to take me away Ha Ha
Your home the one the bank foreclosed, You cried to me Monogamy is the way we both must live or you'll feel hurt. But, I see, I see there's someone new, your anxious poly-pure-bred coat was even gone at our place while I paid the rent, thanks!
And They're coming to take me away Ha Ha
They're coming to take me away ho ho he he ha ha
To the loony bin with all you can eat perscription drugs like torizine, and lithium, and electric shock eels
They're coming to take me away Ha Ha
Blackboard is out to get me...I'm not paranoid. I'm running away to Mexico, where I will assume the identity of Maria Cortez, and I will be making Sombreos in Margaritaville, where's always 5 O'clock. Come visit, except don't tell those crazy email Blackboard people....Oh wait they already Know... Damn ... Foiled again
I'm a little tired can you tell?

SO....when in doubt ask the Ninja
Dear Ninja, (or anyone else...ninja or otherwise)
I have a dilema...
I'm in co-op for my HR program, which means come september i should be doing the eager beaver thing, and working as a co-op student. But my problem is thus:
I don't have a co-op yet. and really no prospects...
so it's getting down to crunch time, and instead of worrying about the 6 major projects due in the next 2 weeks and the exams that follow, I find the biggest thing I'm worrying about is this lack of a co-op.
It could because I'm being difficult... is St. Thomas too far from Oakville? should i just settle and break down and start applying for everythin and anything in order to secure a co-op? Or should I have faith in the system and there will be something that i want to fight for, will apply for and will be willing to interview forth (oh yes, we aren't given a co-op, we have to find apply and everything)
So, ninja, I ask for sage advide, or really any advice please... the Guru Kid needs a Guru....
Guru Kid, aka Erin

No life Without Wife - Bride & Prejudice
Lonely Mr. Kholi from Las Angeles
Came to Punjab on one bent knee
He had a green card, new house, big cash
So made a wish with every fallen lash
For you to do the journey with him
To smile when he got home ask how his day had been
He wants you by his side in joy and strife
Poor Mr. Kholi he has no life without wife.
No life Without Wife
Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
No life Without Wife
Oh yeah yeah yeah Oh yeah yeah yeah
I don't want a man who ties me down
Does what he wants while I hang around
I don't want a man who's crude and loud
Wants a pretty wife to make him proud
I don't wanna man who can't be funny
Who tells tall tales about making money
Oh Yeah…
I don't want a man who'll grab the best seat
Can't close his mouth when he starts to eat
I don't want a man who likes to drink
Or leaves his dirty dishes in the sink
I don't want a man who wants his mummy
A balding pest with too much dummy
I don't want a man who's dead in the head
Poor Mr. Kholi
Aye Mr. Kholi
Maybe he's good in bed….
Ugghhhhh….
No life Without Wife
Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
No life Without Wife
Oh yeah yeah yeah Oh yeah yeah yeah
What you don't want do matter no more
Soon you'll be married and ready to go
A match made in heaven just like milk and honey
You make all the Gobi he'll make the money
Everyday will be the same according to his plans
Forget what you want Mr. Kholi's now your man
No life Without Wife
Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
I just want a man with a real soul
Who wants equality and not control
I just want a man good and smart
A really sharp mind and a very big heart
I just want a man not scared to weep
To hold me close when we're asleep
Ohhh yeah….
I just want a man who loves romance
Who'll clear the floor and ask me to dance
I just want a man who gives some back
Who talks to me and not my rack
I just want man whose spirit is free
To hold my hand, walk the world with me
No life Without Wife
Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
No life Without Wife
Oh yeah yeah yeah
Oh yeah yeah yeah
Sorry Mr. Kholi It is not to be
My heart is set on another you see
The wandering soul I was meant to meet
Has finally come and swept me off my feet
Now I dream of what it would be like
To be an overseas bride dressed in white
To have a little home in the country
And live in the land of her majesty
Came to Punjab on one bent knee
