I am back from the ocean. We went to the ocean for Thanksgiving, it was pretty cool. The weather was nasty though, you could go outside for thirty seconds and come back and be dripping wet. I only went to the beach once because the weather was so miserable.
But the atmosphere was nice. It was cozy inside our little room, with a fire in the woodstove thing and the smell of turkey in the oven. I brought my laptop and we had a Lord of the Rings marathon. It had been a few years since I last watched all 3 LOTR movies consecutively. Looking back now it's kind of funny how much I used to be obsessed with Elijah Wood. I was really obsessed. My family still likes to laugh at me for it. I laugh at myself.
Anyway...

We're playing those mind games together
Pushing the barriers, planting seeds
Playing the mind guerrilla
Chanting the mantra, peace on earth
We all been playing those mind games forever
Some kinda druid dudes lifting the veil
Doing the mind guerrilla
Some call it magic, the search for the grail
Love is the answer and you know that for sure
Love is a flower, you got to let it, you got to let it grow
So keep on playing those mind games together
Faith in the future, outta the now
You just can't beat on those mind guerrillas
Absolute elsewhere in the stones of your mind
Yeah we're playing those mind games forever
Projecting our images in space and in time
Yes is the answer and you know that for sure
Yes is surrender, you got to let it, you got to let it go
So keep on playing those mind games together
Doing the ritual dance in the sun
Millions of mind guerrillas
Putting their soul power to the karmic wheel
Keep on playing those mind games forever
Raising the spirit of peace and love
Love...
(I want you to make love, not war, I know you've heard it before)
