'Xpectation'

... --2003 MUSIC-album by the LATE "Prince"
(... The album-TITLE is also an OPTIMISTIC-"PLAY-on-WORDS"--for ME, 'cuz CONFIDENT-/OPTIMISTIC Altan has ALWAYS-"EXPECTED" GREAT-feats from ... HIMSELF!)


In HONOR of the "FALLEN" MUSICAL-hero, I thought I'd "give my SALUTE":

'Chaos & Disorder'
(by Prince)

"Hey, yeah
Carjack used to fix flat tires
Cadillac used to be a Benz
Big joints never gotcha higher
Freebase cost you in the end
I'm just a no-name reporter
I wish I had nothing to say
Looking through my new camcorder
Trying to find a crime that pays
I get hit by mortars, everywhere I go I'm loitering
Chaos and disorder ruinin' my world today
He's gay, used to mean he's happy
Nowadays happy ain't allowed
You're played, used to mean top forty
Now forty days of being played ain't proud
I'm just a no-name reporter
I wish I had nothing to say
Looking through my new camcorder
Trying to find a crime that pays
I get hit by mortars, everywhere I go I'm loitering
Chaos and disorder ruinin' my world today
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Safe sex used to mean no babies
When intercourse used to mean fun
If I had fifteen ladies
I would only fuck with one
I get hit by a mortar, everywhere I go I'm loitering
Chaos and disorder ruinin' my world today
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Whoa."

'LEG-Strength ... with CONFIDENCE':)

"Hey, LEGS!
'Tree-TRUNKS' used-to suh-port WEGHT.
 'FOUNDATIONS' used-to BE my STRENGTH.
Straight-legs would deliver STRONG-GAIT.
You seek BA-LEHNS at the END.
I'm JUST a SEMI-mute NERD.
I wish my LEGS would show me some STRENGTH!

WAITING-for a nerve-imPULSE,
TRYING-to find a balanced-GAIT,
I get 'HIT-by DOUBTERS'.  ... Yes, I AM CONSTANTLY-STUMBLING
'Leg-strength & CONFIDENCE' is what I seek & NEED NOW.
I'm DETERMINED.  So, ... I WILL 'WIN'!    
NOWADAYS, ... my stride's much-BETTER!
I'm 'TIRED'.  ... But, that doesN'T mean 'SLEEPY'.
I wish my LEGS would show me some STRENGTH!

MENTALLY-computing FIH-ZIKS,
... Uh-PLYING 'laws' to ALL my MOVES.
I get 'HIT-by DOUBTERS'.  ... Yes, I AM CONSTANTLY-STUMBLING
'Leg-strength & CONFIDENCE' is what I seek & NEED NOW.
They WILL-COME!
Yeah, yeah, YEAH!
'GOOD-walk' USED-to mean DISTANCE.
NOW, I 'rate' STAH-BIHL-IH-TEE.

IF I had 22 LEGS,
(SHRUG) I would ONLY use a PAIR.
I get 'HIT-by DOUBTERS'.  ... Yes, I AM CONSTANTLY-STUMBLING.
'Leg-strength & CONFIDENCE' is what I seek & NEED NOW.

Yeah, yeah, YEAH!

Yeah, yeah, YEAH!
Whoa."

... I'd previously-seen BOTH "cinematic-'prize-WINNERS'", as I was "TORN":  ... INTELLECTUAL-STIMULANT OR "COMEDIC-rollercoaster".
(... MY ATTRACTION-to "NEURAL-activity" BEAT-out THAT of "Athletic-HUMOR.) 
... I repeated SAID "cinematic-/television-EXPERIMENT" later-tonight: I selected the FANTASTIC "intellectual-quest", 'Lucy', OVER/INSTEAD-of the nerdy-HUMOR of 'The Big Bang Theory'.

... I couldN'T-HELP but CHUCKLE, when 'The Theory of EVERYTHING' SEEMED-to show that ... SOME-of Dr. Hawking's NUMEROUS "INTELLECTUAL-discoveries" were OFTEN /"TRIGGERED-"/INSPIRED-by 'PENTHOUSE'-publications.
(... Upon INTERROGATIONS of WHETHER his "motor-NEURON disease" ALSO-affected his LIBIDO & GENITALIA, Dr. Hawking HUMOROUSLY-replied, "DIFFERENT-systems!")
(... Ha ha HA!)


-- I read that  
"... a 2,400 year-old mosaic discovered during excavations in Turkey's southern Hatay province, showing a skeleton lying down with a jorum in his hand and a wine pitcher and bread on the side could be one of its kind, Turkish researchers have said."
(... PICTURES were VERY "'DUDE'-esque" ... from 'The Big Lebowski'.  ... I'd CAPTION it with/as 
"That rug REALLY-'tied the room TOGETHER', did it not?!"

''Let's Go Crazy''
(by Prince)

"Dearly beloved
We are gathered here today
To get through this thing called life
Electric word life
It means forever and that's a mighty long time
But I'm here to tell you
There's something else
The after world
A world of never ending happiness
You can always see the sun, day or night
So when you call up that shrink in Beverly Hills
You know the one, Dr. Everything'll Be Alright   
Instead of asking him how much of your time is left
Ask him how much of your mind, baby
'Cause in this life
Things are much harder than in the after world
In this life
You're on your own
And if the elevator tries to bring you down
Go crazy, punch a higher floor
If you don't like the world you're     
Take a look around you
At least you got friends
You see I called my old lady
For a friendly word
She picked up the phone
Dropped it on the floor
(Ah, ah) is all I heard
Are we gonna let the elevator
Bring us down
Oh, no let's go!    

Let's go crazy
Let's get nuts
Let's look for the purple banana
'Til they put us in the truck, let's go!
We're all excited
But we don't know why
Maybe it's 'cause
We're all gonna die

And when we do (When we do)
What's it all for (What's it all for)
You better live now
Before the grim reaper come knocking on your door
Tell me, are we gonna let the elevator bring us down
Oh, no let's go!
Let's go crazy
Let's get nuts
Look for the purple banana
'Til they put us in the truck, let's go!
C'mon baby
Let's get nuts
Yeah
Crazy
Let's go crazy
Are we gonna let the elevator bring us down
Oh, no let's go!
Go crazy
I said let's go crazy (Go crazy)
Let's go, let's go
Go
Let's go
Dr. Everything'll be alright
Will make everything go wrong
Pills and thrills and daffodils will kill
Hang tough children
He's coming
He's coming
Coming
Take me away!"

''Act ... NOT-'Crazy'!''

"Bless-ed 'LOWER-TRUNKS',
YOU are entitled here TODAY,
... Like EV'RY other day, TO
Amaze & INSPIRE!
Seems like FOREVER, ... & THAT's a mighty-LONG TIME,
Since I WALKED with-OUT THOUGHT.
Now, 'WALKING'-PIX
'CLUTTER' my MIND. 
... A 'MIND' of REPETITIVE-JEEN-YUS.
I can ALWAYS-calculate NEEDED-FORCE.

Ironically, ''QUANTIFYING''s FINE.
In the film 'Spaceballs', y'ALL would tell me 'Use 'the SHWARTZ!'    
Instead-of 'HUFFING, PUFFING' & FLAILING in FRUSTRATION,
I'll SIMPLY 'BIDE my TIME', & 'WORK'-to PERSEVERE.
There's 'MORE' to LIFE     
Than JUST SITTING-around & critiquing GOOD-MOVIES.
In MY-LIFE
I MUST-do MORE!
And, IF my FRUSTRATION TRIES-to 'hold me BACK',
Breathe-DEEPLY, for I MUST-REGROUP.   
I've GOTTA 'SCOUT' ANGLES.
The trig*will-NOT CHANGE.
My-STRENGTH does-NOT mat-TER.

... When LEG-nerves ig-NORE,   
I SHUT BOTH my EYES,
Breathe an AUDIBLE-SIGH 
(AAAAAAAHHHHHHH)  & RE-do my PLANS.... Am I gonna get-FRUSTRATED, 
& just give-UP?!
HELLZ-NO!  GO, NERVES!
I'm NOT-CRAZY, 
... Just -'SPIRITED'!
Ignore my UN-wise 'FREAK-OUTS'.  

'Tis ONLY my frustration-RELEASE!
... I'm JUST-EXCITED!
ONLY-I KNOW WHY!
(SIGH) THAT's because 
My-BRAIN dudN'T LIE.
... But, when I DO (When I do)  
What my-MIND 'SAYS', (What my-mind 'says')
ALL WILL-be BETTER!
DESPITE OUTSIDERS' 'claims' that I'm NOT-that SMART,   
'Be PATIENT' I plead, ... for 'GOOD-work takes TIME!'

... Nerves TWITCH.  ... Let's GO!
Be ... NOT-CRAZY!
... I'm STILL-'NUTZ'!
SEARCH-for MANY ALL-TER-NUH-TIHVS!
In-case 'Plan-A' doesN'T work, I'm READY!   
C'mon, LEG-NERVES.
Show me STRENGTH!
YEAH!
LEG-STRENGTH!
... LOTSA LEG-STRENGTH!
Do-NOT let my MANY MIS-fortunes 'bring me DOWN'!
... NO WAY!  LEGS-UP!
STAY real**-STRONG!
I SAID, 'LEGS, stay real-STRONG!'  (STAY real-STRONG)
LEGS-UP!  LEGS-UP!   
UP!
LEGS-UP!
My 'BATTERED-brain' WILL-be ALRIGHT!
I HAFTA-prove the docs ALL-WRONG!
'DOUBT' & 'POUTS' ... & will KILL
My 'HEALING-MIND'!
'WALKS' COMING!
'WALKS' COMING!
COMING,
Be-GONE ... with ME!"
