Post #100-Yeehaw!!! i'm on my 100th post!!!


hey everyone!! this blog post is a party!! this is my one hundreth post!! i've been planning this post since post #83. i'm so excited! i just want to thank anyone who has read all one hundred, or even fifty. i know it's hard to keep up with my erratic and illogically crazy posts, so thank you. so now to celebrate my one hundreth post i'm gonna do somethings special. the first special things this, do you see that picture at the top of this post? that's me blogging! every day i work so hard to climb up onto that big chair so i can blog, its hard work for a guy my size. not really, really thats a picture of my brother, he was trying to help me with my blog, he was thinking he could add some stuff to it. but sadly that didn't work out. another special is something which i think i've only done once before, i'm gonna put on some poetry. now i know that putting poetry on my blog seems like such a nasty girly thing to do but hey, this is a cool poem. so anyway this written by some dude named James Weldon Johnson (you ever notice that poets always put thier middle names?) and it says it's a "negro sermon from GOD'S TROMBONES", it's called, the creation.


The Creation
By James Weldon Johnson
And God stepped out on space,
And he looked around and said:
I'm lonely -
I'll make me a world.

And far as the eye of God could see
Darkness covered everything,
Blacker than a hundred midnights
Down in a cypress swamp.

Then God smiled,
And the light broke,
And the darkness rolled up on one side,
And the light stood shining on the other,
And God said: That's good!

Then God reached out and took the light in his hands,
And God rolled the light around in his hands
Until he made the sun;
And he set that sun a-blazing in the heavens.
And the light that was left from making the sun
God gathered it up in a shining ball
And flung it against the darkness,
Spangling the night with the moon and stars.
Then down between
The darkness and the light
He hurled the world;
And God said: That's good!

Then God himself stepped down -
And the sun was on his right hand,
And the moon was on his left;
The stars were clustered about his head,
And the earth was under his feet.
And God walked, and where he trod
His footsteps hollowed the valleys out
And bulged the mountains up.

Then he stopped and looked and saw
That the earth was hot and barren.
So God stepped over to the edge of the world
And he spat out the seven seas -
He batted his eyes, and the lightnings flashed -
He clapped his hands, and the thunders rolled -
And the waters above the earth came down,
The cooling waters came down.

Then the green grass sprouted,
And the little red flowers blossomed,
The pine tree pointed his finger to the sky,
And the oak spread out his arms,
The lakes cuddled down in the hollows of the ground,
And the rivers ran down to the sea;
And God smiled again,
And the rainbow appeared,
And curled itself around his shoulder.

Then God raised his arm and he waved his hand
Over the sea and over the land,
And he said: Bring forth! Bring forth!
And quicker than God could drop his hand,
Fishes and fowls
And beasts and birds
Swam the rivers and the seas,
Roamed the forests and the woods,
And split the air with their wings.
And God said: That's good!
Then God walked around,
And God looked around
On all that he had made.
He looked at his sun,
And he looked at his moon,
And he looked at his little stars;
He looked on his world
With all its living things,
And God said: I'm lonely still.

Then God sat down -
On the side of a hill where he could think;
By a deep, wide river he sat down;
With his head in his hands,
God thought and thought,
Till he thought: I'll make me a man!

Up from the bed of the river
God scooped the clay;
And by the bank of the river
He kneeled him down;
And there the great God Almighty
Who lit the sun and fixed it in the sky,
Who flung the stars to the most far corner of the night,
Who rounded the earth in the middle of his hand;
This Great God,
Like a mammy bending over her baby,
Kneeled down in the dustToiling over a lump of clay
Till he shaped it in his own image;

Then into it he blew the breath of life,
And man became a living soul.
Amen. Amen.
whew, what a cool poem. don't you love it? yeah i know i'm a nerd but i think that's a cool poem. but to get the full effect get a black gospel preacher to read it, that would be cool. now i lately have been watching my brother a lot, and one video we like to watch is "Lamb Chop's Play Along". i don't know how many of have seen this show but i remember it from when i was very young, so watching it with my baby brother is really fun. and at the end of every episode they sing a song, to the great annoyance of the main person of course, called "The Song That Never Ends" and the horrible thing about this song is it doesn't end, ever. if you start singing it you are trapped into singing it for an eternity. now since they sing at the every episode i wanted to see if could make it so whenever you got to the end of a blog post you could a little recording of me singing the song until i pass out. well i'm sad to say i can't do that but i can, because i'm so cool, write out the lyrics and you can sing it to yourself. here we go:
This is the song that never ends,
it just goes on and on my friends.
Some people
started sing it
not knowing what it was,
now they'll keep on singing it forever just because...
