Independence; Home Security; Shivaree: Goodnight Moon


h/t


This cracks me up:



h/t



Been listening to Shivaree: "Goodnight Moon" on http://blip.fm/gcotharn, and she seems to fit in here. Shivaree's boyfriend (girlfriend? I suspect flexibility) is gone, and - to her credit - she is taking defensive measures. While she takes defensive measures, Shivaree makes sure to feature her lips and her breasts front and center in her video. All's fair in love and marketing, and a girl only gets so many chances at a pop music career. Since this video is over 5 years old, I'm uncertain of the success of the marketing campaign. Quentin Tarantino did use this song over the closing credits of "Kill Bill."


There's a nail in the door
And there's glass on the lawn
Tacks on the floor
And the TV is on
And I always sleep with my guns
When you're gone

There's a blade by the bed
And a phone in my hand
A dog on the floor
And some cash on the nightstand
When I'm all alone the dreaming stops
And I just count sand

What should I do I'm just a little baby
What if the lights go out and maybe
And then the wind just starts to moan
Outside the door he followed me home

Well goodnight moon
I want the sun
If it's not here soon
I might be done
No it won't be too soon 'til I say
Goodnight moon

There's a shark in the pool
And a witch in the tree
A crazy old neighbour and he's been watching me
And there's footsteps loud and strong coming down the hall
Something's under the bed
Now it's out of my hands
There's a big black crow sitting on my window ledge
And I hear something scratching through the wall

Oh what should I do I'm just a little baby
What if the lights go out and maybe
I just hate to be all alone
Outside the door he followed me home

Now goodnight moon
I want the sun
If it's not here soon
I might be done
No it won't be too soon 'til I say
Goodnight moon

Well you're up so high
How can you save me
When the dark comes here
Tonight to take me up
The mouth from woke
And into bed where it kisses my face
And eats my head

Oh what should I do I'm just a little baby
What if the lights go out and maybe
And then the wind just starts to moan
Outside the door he followed me home
Now goodnight moon
I want the sun
If it's not here soon
I might be done
No it won't be too soon 'til I say
Goodnight moon
No it won't be too soon 'til I say
Goodnight moon
Has Shivaree met Brandi Carlile? They could make some music together.

People really need some professional assistance on how to keep their homes secured 24 hours a day. Your family must feel that they are secured enough to inside the house.

Daniel,

I've no problem with a professional security system - especially if one is wealthy and keeps valuables inside the house which need protection.

However, what if the main concern is not property protection, but personal security? I say: get professional advice in how to shoot, and (via The Dog Whisperer!) how to be an effective dog owner. Buy a couple of brave dogs. Buy 6 or 7 guns. Teach everyone to shoot safely and accurately. Now your family is more safe - and at less cost than the cost of a professional security service.

Individual circumstances will obviously vary.
