tipesh mode

My spirit is angelic
I got more beats than Tom Selleck
'Cause I'm not drunk, I'm just psychedelic
I'm a thug
Like Melissa & Doug
Tripping on toy ships
Sweeping trucks under the rug
'Cause when I play Duck Hunt
I hit the trees harder than James Blunt
So get behind me Satan
Cause I'm going in front
But the details always got the devil in them
That's why I'm crabbier than Crabtree & Evelyn
I'm a rebel without a spiritual level
Lately I've been having trouble with my treble clef
Or maybe I'm just tone deaf
But I still stone you like an Iron Chef
So let the nouveau riche eat quiche
I'm MC Complete and this is my pastiche

chorus:
I'm MC Complete and I'm in tipesh mode
Twisted like an operator overload
Turn off the lights and I'll glow
'Cause I'm a cross between Vanilla Ice and Sonny Bono
And I'm still waiting for your web page to load
'Cause I'm not drunk, I'm just in tipesh mode

I'm living on a prayer
Like A.J. Ayer
Like charismatic megafauna I'm not all there
So share this song with all your friends on twitter
'Cause facebook is my new babysitter
And you record labels might want to consider
My offer to sell my talents to the highest bidder
'Cause I rip off Eminem like I was a counterfeiter
In God we trust
But defraud we must
Until this body returns to the dust
Plus we must write server code in C++
So we can overload the comma operator
And change over less than to make it greater
'Cause I'm an innovator and an imitator
So in the future, come with me to Taba for my seder
I promise you'll be looping like a constant iterator

(chorus)

I bend you and I blend you like mixflakes
'Cause your crew is full of toucans that's sweeter than six cakes
Yo messing with Complete was your last mistake
'Cause I bang out battle raps till my wrists ache
Yo I better take a coffee break before I get carpel tunnel syndrome
Plus I better get a wikipedia entry of my own
Or at least the cover of the Rolling Stone
'Cause I'm 33 years old and I'm still unknown
I bought a prefab sukkah with a subprime loan
Now there's ushpizin everywhere like the attack of the clones
So take a stand like Shuli Rand
'Cause Torah and Hollywood go hand in hand
I'm complete like a breakfast with raisin bran
I just imitate MC Frontalot so I can leverage his brand

(chorus)

Re: Tuna

I posted a new song on my website today. It's a silly parody for kids. Let me know what you think:

Prayer, a Timeless Need

Traditionally, Judaism recognizes three aspects of prayer: praise, request and thanks.

Why do we make requests of God? I ask people for things because otherwise they might not know what I want. But God already knows what I want before I ask. Giving me what I want is not always in His plans (it often is, of course), but He does know. He doesn’t need me to inform Him.

I think that asking God for things and asking people for things might be very different. Maybe asking God for things is really an act of gratitude, just like saying thank you. Maybe it’s like saying thank you in advance. Or you can look at it this way: as all parents know, there are nice and not nice ways to ask for things. Not asking at all and just expecting God to read your mind is not a nice way of asking.
