Mike's Ten
mike's ten: Profound Miley Cyrus lyrics.
As the year closes let us retire to the study and read from our leather-bound edition of Miley Cyrus lyrics.
Submitted by Mike on Fri, 12/26/2008 - 7:23pm.
((This list was published in Staten Island's AWE today along with some other great pieces f
Number 1
“Everything you do matters in some way” - from “Wake Up America”
Simple yet elegant, her message may not be entirely clear… “in some way”, but Miley’s unshakable faith in that fact that we all do indeed matter and our actions matter, are the reservoir from which this bit of poetic truth arises.
Number 2
“Cram it all down my throat, stomach so full that I wish I could choke” – from “Simple Song”
The song beautifully titled “Simple Song” is a tome or better yet a journal entry that’s author is crying out for peace of mind, from unscrupulous paparazzi and media coverage. She is saying simply and loudly to America, please stop cramming things down my throat.
Number 3
“Suddenly my cell phone’s blowing up with your ringtone” – from “Goodbye”
The song “Goodbye” is about the post breakup depression, in which both parties of the previous relationship yearn and reach out for the other in times of weakness. Her rhyming of “Phone” with “ringtone” is so well executed that I doubt even the bard of avon (William Shakespeare) would have done a better job.
Number 4
“Tired being told what to do, so unfair, so uncool” – from “Breakout”
“Breakout” is about the yearning of students for the school day to conclude. The tedious act of waiting for the clock to strike three pm, but I think in this lyric Miley ‘s intentions are transcending their literal meaning. My reading is that she is tired of the corporate world (as controlled by the uppermost 1%) misappropriating and manipulating all of America’s wealth for their own financial gain. I agree with Miley this is certainly and unequivocally “uncool.”
Number 5
“It’s all up in my face, I need to push it away, somebody push it away” – from “Simple Song”
This again is from the afore mentioned “Simple Song,” The last line in this lyric is rather telling; “somebody push it away.” This is a clear cry for help. She is saying that her problem of nonexistent privacy (to which we all deserve) is no longer in her power to remedy. She needs help from us.
Number 6
"Global warming, going green, I don’t know what this all means” – from “Wake Up America”
In this lyric from the incendiary song “Wake up America” Miley is saying, hey folks we needn’t bother ourselves with trivial things such as facts or science, we need only to feel what is right and wrong, from our gut.
Number 7
“Your friends, they’re jerks, when you act like them, just know it hurts” – from “ 7 Things”
This lyric calls to mind the work of another young artist from recent history. The incomparable Avril Levine, who’s hit “Complicated” which also examined the theme put forth by Miley here: Male sociality as it effects the adult heterosexual relationship. The final line here “just know it hurts” I believe is directed to all men listening. I proudly say to Ms. Cyrus, I did not know, but now I do. Many thanks.
Number 8
“Every time you’re near, trouble disappears, under ground” – from “Full Circle”
One might think this lyric is about Miley’s affection for a male suitor. But alas that would be the wrong interpretation. Miley here is playfully talking about her love of evolutionary theory and science. Her meaning of “underground” is meant to be taken literally, for she is referring to the importance of the Earth worm, a subject Charles Darwin himself was so interested in he devoted an entire text to it. If you don’t agree with me, then let the title of the song “Full Circle” be the last bit of evidence I will expose on the matter.
Number 9
“A creepy little, sneaky little, fly on the wall” – from “Fly on the Wall”
Again the uneducated Miley fan might think this is yet another reference to the paparazzi, but it indeed is yet another reference to Miley’s love of the insect world.
Number 10
“I’m not a mind reader, but I’m reading the signs” – from “See You Again”
Here what Miley is saying is: I know how to read. Believe it or not, I can read.

dani disaster's ten: ways i plan to steal your boyfriend.
Watch out girls Dani is here to steal your boyfriend. Come in and see what this vixen is up to. BTW mike is still MIA...so good luck to him.
Submitted by dani on Tue, 10/21/2008 - 12:12am.
Hello. I am Dani Disaster. I am your mortal enemy ladies. I am currently your best friend, because I'm moving in on your shit. The truth is ...I want your fucking boyfriend.
Number 1
show up everywhere.
I know I didn't get the e-vite, but I'm here anyway. At your birthday party. At his birthday party. At his uncle's wedding. If he works at a restaurant I'm there with my entire family and guess what, my parents like him. He's forming a special relationship with my baby cousin when you thought he didn't even like kids. Now I'm at all his bands shows front row, getting songs dedicated to me. You know, one of the songs might even be about me. Somehow when you're on dates or out with your friends, I'm around. I'm friends with your friends now. We're outside and I'm lighting his cigarette (Oh my god, since when does he smoke? That's right bitch...
Number 2
outshine you in everything.
You don't know how, but I have suddenly become an expert in everything that he likes. We now have all the same majors in school and tastes in music. When you're passed out on the couch, I am still able to drink and party because I put roofies in your whiskey sour. You won't let him put it in your ass or blow him while he's driving....but I lie and let him know I do that with my boyfriends. I'm upping the bar...but only past your limits and you'll never catch up. MUAHAHA. It's the bottom of the ninth and you will never get that grand slam!!! You're like Alex Rodriguez and only do something amazing when it's not helpful at all!!!!
Number 3
make sultry eyes.
It's a trick I learned from when I was a geisha in a past life. I look for your man, then slowly look at him making direct eye contact, then look away. I get the attention then pretend like it's nothing. If my back is turned I look over my shoulder then flip my hair. I'm slowly blinking at him with way too much eyeliner on, then I'm going to clearly stare at his package, then you, then his package. You can't even get mad, because "I'm not really doing anything". In fact you're not even sure if I am really doing it. Then I do Morse code blinking saying 'Let's eff'. Then he will go home and fuck you and accidentally say my name. I have now successfully hypnotized him! (Note: Some girls can not do this task because they have the 'crazy eyes'. According to Urbandictionary.com, 'crazy eyes' can be found on moderate to attractive girls. If you have crazy eyes, don't worry just be sure to wear a push-up bra or come fuck me pumps aka CFMPS
Number 4
lie.
I'm already lying about my whole personality and interests to your boyfriend anyway, but I have to scheme to drive you batshit....So I'm going to tell all your friends I do him. Then they'll tell you. Then I'll be like, "I never said that!" Because chances are you're bigger than me and can beat me up. One day, I'll figure out what his room looks like from your myspace photos and text you describing the GI Joe pillow case claiming to have humped it. I'll write in my xanga that we spend Valentines, Christmas, and Flag Day together but use a code name that only you will understand; being that I have made you so paranoid you are practically John Nash. Also, I'm going to use my little sister's phone and store it under his name and send myself fake text messages to show off to all my Old Navy co-workers.
Number 5
put my boobs on him.
I will put my boobs on him.
Number 6
harass him on social networking sites.
I'll chase him down in the Best Buy parking lot and take a photo with my cellphone and make it my new myspace default. I'm going to leave him like, at least 10 hearts and winky faces a day. I'll comment his myspace photos that don't have you in them and go 'LOL, CUTE'. I'll put him in my top friends...not number one at first. I'll probably upgrade his position weekly...as I get closer. I'll send him gifts through various Facebook applications, like the free little pug dogs but do it under 'anonymous' to hide the affair. You'll see that I sent him a Facebook 'poke' and he'll claim "oh it's nothing baby..." but you'll know...you'll know.
Number 7
sabotage.
I can't stand it, I know you planned it. Imma set straight this watergate!!! All those positive pregnancy tests in your garbage your mother found? That was me. The calls from the doctor about that nasty rash? ME. The photos of you all over your campus and on the school's computer desktops of you deep-throating your father? Well he sent me those, but HA!
Number 8
make him a mix tape.
"Don't Cha (Wish your girlfriend was hot like me)" - Pussycat Dolls "Sexyback" - Justin Timberlake "Put It In Your Mouth" - Akinyele "The Thong Song" - Sisqo "I Want To Know What Love Is" - Foreigner "Let's Get It On" - Marvin Gaye "Lick It Up" - Kiss "Caress me Down" - Sublime "Closer" - Nine Inch Nails ''In Your Room'' Depeche Mode "Dirrty" - Christina Aguilera "Your Body is a Wonderland" - John Mayer "I'll Make Love To You" - Boyz 2 Men ''My Ding-a-Ling'' - Chuck Berry "Purple Rain" - Prince "The Bad Touch" - Bloodhound Gang
Number 9
fake a tragedy.
Something really horrible has coincidently happened to me, and your boyfriend is going to have no choice but to comfort me because I am going to widdle it down the most insane situation that only he is equipped to handle. Maybe he had a golden retriever once and mine recently died. He'll need to comfort me. With his dick.
Number 10
love potion.
I'm sure you've learned by now from Hollywood that magic is real and works. I'm going to go to Diagon Alley or Hot Topic to buy myself some incense and red candles. Then wait for the full moon I'll do some chanting. Eye of newt, jizz of hobo, snips, snails, puppy dog tails.... boil it all in cauldron. Whatever it takes. Now his heart will now belong to me after I slip this into his beer.
NOTES TO THE CLOSET DORK: A HORROR MOVIE RECOMMENDATION.

Carlo's Ten: Excuses for not voting in this years election.
Mike is in Atlantic City, blowing geriatric men for their bus vouchers. Since he doesn't have computer access, I'll be taking the weight off his shoulders.
Submitted by carlo on Wed, 10/08/2008 - 4:42am.
Is this country in the shitter or what? Don't you wish that YOU had the power to change it? You do, you say? Oh, you mean you exercise your right to vote?
Number 1
I'm not registered.
I tried to register online, but they kept sending me to forms I have to print out and mail in. WTF? Why cant I sign up via the internet? I can do my banking, video rentals, video gaming, and porn watching online, why not register to vote? Besides, I don't feel like buying stamps.
Number 2
The electoral college
The electoral college is based on the population of the state. So really, by living in NY, I am being counted towards my states vote. My vote really doesn't matter (as proven in 2000) and even if it did, it would be like pissing in an ocean of liberal piss. NY is traditionally a blue state.
Number 3
I don't like the candidates
One is a cousin of Dick Cheney, and the other is a rich white guy. One perpetuates the theory of a "presidential bloodline" and the other is a maverick turned puppet. One's VP is a babbling idiot, and the other's is Palin. One has little experience, and the other is a war mongering nut. One is too charismatic to trust, the other is too old to make it out alive. Basically, they both suck. But thats mostly because they are politicians.
Number 4
I'm not a trend whore
Yeah, go vote, wear those nice buttons while your at it. Did you remember your talking points for the water cooler? Whoooo Vote-fever is sweeping the nation! I say, fuck that. I don't bend my will for anyone. I'm too much my own person to fall for that crap.
Number 5
I don't care
Honestly, whoever wins, it will have no effect on me what-so-ever. Unless Obama legalizes weed. That would effect me.
Number 6
Electronic Voting Machines
seriously, didn't we see that Robin williams movie where Jeff Goldblum ran a crooked voting machine company? These things are so easy to hack. The election is rigged. Don't be so naive.
Number 7
I don't get the day off from work.
We are all slaves. We are forced to work on election day (because we are in the middle class) and unfortunately, we can't always get to the polls because we are busy dealing with high schoolers who DID get the day off. Hmmmmmm? I know the law says that our employers have to give us time to go vote, but really, who follows the law anymore, that shit was soooo B.C.
Number 8
I'm Lazy
I just don't feel like getting off my fat American ass. Fuck off!
Number 9
It's no longer exclusive
Back in the day voting was a privilege. Now any shmuck with a drivers license can do it. WTF? You used to have to be a productive, white, land owning, man in order to vote. I call bullshit!
Number 10
Reptilian Overlords
Listen, here's the reality. This world is actually run through a series of puppet governments set up by a highly advanced race of reptilian humanoids from atlantis who have already predetermined the systematic and complete enslavement of the human race. I've accepted it, why haven't you?
20s wasteland: Patriot.
Are you a patriotic person? You may think so, but your wrong! lol jk, but you might think you're not and you are. Come in, lets cut this foreplay, and get to the sex.

Well I just lost my medical coverage. So now I’m unemployed and uncovered. It feels freeing in an odd way.
mike's ten: cartoon hotties.
Mike had a dream he was a cartoon and now he's all horned up and wants to ruin your day with it.
Submitted by Mike on Mon, 09/22/2008 - 11:37pm.
Last night I had a dream. I dreamt I was 2 dimensional, and living in bedrock. I had a nice little stone house next door to the Rubble’s house.
Number 1
Lois Griffin.
In a recent (highly scientific) DAPS pole, Lois Griffin was voted hotter than Marge Simpson. But what about Lois is so hot? I think it’s because she is a matriarch. A woman in charge, she knows how to get shit done. And isn’t afraid to speak her mind. Also her husband is a fat drunk mess who does whatever wacky thing that comes into his mind, and what man doesn’t want that future for himself. I personally hope my Lois is out there somewhere waiting for me…sigh.
Number 2
Marge Simpson.
Marge is hot. Years of marriage and motherhood have done nothing to diminish her tight figure. She’s still in amazing shape. Plus that blue hair is totally a turn on. It says I’m domestic, but almost in an ironic way, because her rocking bod totally says “do me.”
Number 3
Birdgirl.
The unwanted side kick of Harvey Birdman (attorney at Law), Birdgirl is really the daughter of his boss. She’s hotter, than usefully it turns out, but still who wouldn’t want a sidekick like this. She’s so hot, her power is to make everyone around uncomfortable due to her obvious to everyone (except her own dad) secret identity.
Number 4
teenage Pebbles.
When Pebbles became a teenager in later Flintstones cartoons they decided to make her super hot. Voiced by Sally Struthers (not very hot) teenaged Pebbles was everything you want in a girl. She had a waist so thin; it would be impossible for her to walk upright in real life. She had cute little boobs. A pretty face, and her mothers smoking hot red hair. Sadly she gave it all to Bam-Bam. I’m sure he railed her good though, his name is Bam-bam.
Number 5
Velma.
Don’t let her glasses and oversized sweater fool you Velma is a freak. Everyone knew someone like Velma in college, and she was such a ho. This is the kind of girl who spent all her time, studying and doing extra circulative activities, but when she needed to blow off steam, she’d hike up that plaid skirt and plow the nearest thing with a dick. Then beg you to finish on her glasses.
Number 6
Evil-lyn.
She was Skeletor’s right hand woman. She had balls, power and a sexy purple bondage outfit. She also carried a big ass stick that she could use to either conjure up magic power or simply knock you on your ass with. She was sexy but dangerous, you always got the vibe that if she saw the opportunity she’d totally take over the operation for Skeletor and tell him to hit the bricks.
Number 7
Jessica Rabbit.
“I’m not bad, I’m just drawn that way”…oh you dirty little girl. When I was a kid I had a Jessica Rabbit toy that I would put in my tighty-whiteys and leave it there all day. I gave me a cheap thrill. There’s not much to say about Jessica that hasn’t already been said, but do take note of this: How many redheads are on this list? Interesting.
Number 8
Janine Melnitz.
Janine was the secretary for the Ghostbusters. She answered the phone and was rude to people but they never fired her because Egon wanted to bone her. Looking back at Janine’s long red fingernails and big stupid earrings, I think I know where my attraction to tacky girls comes from.
Number 9
April O'neil.
She was a reporter, who helped the ninja turtles. Sounds familiar I know, April was yet another Lois Lane wanna be. (I do realize Lois Lane is not on this list, but she’s more of a comic book character than a cartoon one) April was hot in a Murphy Brown kinda way, she was a career woman, who was the sugar-mama to Casey Jones her bum boyfriend. I did get the vibe sometimes that she wanted to bang Raff. Did you?
Number 10
Smurfet.
She’s hot because she’s' the one girl in her commune…er I mean her “group”. She definitely was the designated ho. They may have not shown it but you knew it was going on. Every smurf had their own job in the commune… I mean village. Hers had to be the sex dumpster.
who is hotter?
I want to know the answer to an age old question. Please help me.
Submitted by Mike on Sun, 09/21/2008 - 3:40pm.
Okay, no funny business I'm going to get straight to it. Who is hotter? Marge Simpson or Lois Griffin? I want to know what people think?
20s wasteland: the end?
Is the end near? Or is the near end? Okay that makes no sense, but you know, come inside and read this stuff.

I’ve said it before I’ll say it again times are tough, and they keep getting tougher.
mike's ten: autumn.
hey mike's actually in a good mood, go figure, here's a list of ten things he loves about autumn.
Submitted by Mike on Mon, 09/15/2008 - 6:12pm.
Hey everyone, Mike here. I’m sitting here in my room, drinking a hot cup of java and typing on my laptop (a mac if you were wondering) and I’m feeling fantastic. You know why?
Number 1
school supplies.
Okay truth is I’m a college graduate, so I’m all done with school. But that doesn’t mean I have to miss out in all the promise and wonder of school supplies. It doesn’t matter if you go to staples, or the supermarket or a corner deli, buying school supplies is such a fun event. It’s like enlisting soldiers in the war against lethargy. After a summer of drinking, drugs, and thoughtlessness you are preparing your brain to reawaken and the pencils, and notebooks are there to aid the cause. The cover of a marble notebook is meant to represent the “white snow” of the summer mind. Scattered, loud and unfocused, when you write in your marble notebook it represents the focusing and repairing of your brain.
Number 2
McPumpkin.
Is this not the best holiday or what? It’s spooky and fun. Even me a skeptic who hates all marketing, can’t help but get excited when I see all the big companies roll out there Halloween campaigns. No one my age (25) can go a Halloween without remembering the awesomely cool, McDonald's pumpkin candy bucket. When you ordered a happy meal, the meal would come in the bucket and then you would bring it home (wash off the grease) and use it for candy storage on Halloween. It was awesome!
Number 3
new tv shows.
The summer time is all about big blockbuster movies, while there is no new TV. But once fall comes around TV is cool again. Some shows work, some premiere have a few episodes and you never see them again, but either way it’s a time for new art (believe it or not TV is art) and that is the fun of it. I am particularly excited this fall for the return of “Californication.” Coming off of the train wreck that was the new “X-Files” movie, I think David Duchovny needs something to help people remember he’s actual a good actor.
Number 4
cool weather.
The most obvious thing that happens with the arrival of a new season is a change of weather. Summer – fall is my favorite of these because you go from hot and muggy to cool and crisp. There’s nothing like a windy fall evening, the kind of night where it feels like there is electricity in the air. It’s the kind of night I live for. My grandma used to say that a cool autumn wind was god rubbing her tits in your face. Ah grandma how right you were.
Number 5
fresh new digs.
Fall clothes shopping is even more fun than school shopping. It’s time to wrap up that flabby body in some sexy new digs. Personally, my goal is always to get 2 new pairs ofr jeans, 3 new t-shirts and 2 or 3 new button downs (for when I want to sex it up) but whatever your style, the fun is getting to find a new way of representing yourself to the world. Also shopping for clothes is fun because you get to troll the mall for high school ass. Yum.
Number 6
scary movies.
With the approach of Halloween scary movies start coming out every weekend at the old movie theater. Sure one of two of them may not blow balls, but the truth is if you wanna watch good scary movies, you gotta go with the classics. What on earth can be funnier than watching awesomely crafted 1970s horror films with good friends, and eating mad candy? The answer: sex. But other than sex, nothing else because candy+friends+candy= superfun!
Number 7
warm apple cider.
If jesus pissed into your mouth, it would taste like warm apple cider. Nuff sed.
Number 8
carving jack-o-lanterns.
Last year I had a fun stencil that was shaped like the grim reaper, and I carved a pumpkin with it. My grim reaper jack-o-lantern was the hottest shit ever, until the next day when the temperature got to 80 degrees and my pumpkin melted. Thanks global warming.
Number 9
falling in crush.
Fall is such a great time for falling in crush. Everyone has got their new clothes on, and running around being all sexy. A lot of guys note that in the summer time there seems to be an endless supply of hot blonde girls, as if they hibernate in the winter and come out to be hot in the summer. Well I think the same thing goes for hot brunettes in the fall. I don’t know where they are in the summer, maybe standing behind that hot blonde you can’t get your eyes off, but in the fall the sexy smart brunette is where its at. Mmmm kisses.
Number 10
indoors.
Speaking from a historical and evolutionary point of view, the fall is a more civilized time. We spend our time in doors a lot, which leads to less partying and more quality time spend with friends. I personally enjoy sitting on a couch, smoking weed and conversing with friends about anything and everything. Indoors are fun because there is no $5 cover charge at a friends house, unless you friend is a complete dick.
