The Shinchi Ultimatum

“I well remember the feeling of going to bed each night, envisioning my workout the following day, and then, upon waking, feeling restless until the moment I stepped into the gym. I also remember how I imagined every morsel of food I ate turning into raw muscle, and how that muscle was just waiting for me to get back into the gym so that I could sculpt it to perfection in my next workout.” Arnold Schwarzenegger, giving advice to young bodybuilders, Flex Magazine August 2008

I am feeling the same way, at least the restless part

For those who played Fallout 3, the sound Civilization by Danny Kaye should be very familiar. Whenever you are treading across the wasteland, this is one of the songs played by Three Dog with a more joyous tune.

If you read the lyrics carefully, you can actually understand the meaning of this song, depicting out many natives are ‘forced’ into civilization by outsiders who take over their land. I especially can feel about it after I watch the movie "Rabbit Proof Fence" while in Perth.

Bongo, Bongo, Bongo  (With the Andrews Sisters)

Each morning a missionary advertise with neon sign
He tells the native population that civilization is fine
And three educated savages holler from a bongo tree
That civilization is a thing for me to see
So bongo, bongo, bongo I don't want to leave the congo
Oh no no no no no
Bingle, bangle, bungle I'm so happy in the jungle I refuse to go
Don't want no bright lights, false teeth, doorbells, landlords
I make it clear
That no matter how they coax him
I'll stay right here
I looked through a magazine the missionary's wife concealed
(Magazine? What happens?)
I see how people who are civilized bang you with automobiles
(You know you can get hurt that way Daniel)
At the movies they have to pay many coconuts to see
(What do they see Danny?)
Uncivilized pictures that the newsreels take of me
So bongo, bongo, bong he don't want to leave the congo
Oh no no no no no
Bingle, bangle, bungle he's so happy in the jungle he refuse to go
Don't want no penthouse, bathtub, streetcars, taxis
Noise in my ear
So no matter how they coax him
I'll stay right here
They hurry like savages to get aboard an iron train
And though it's smoky and crowded they're too civilized to complain
When they've got two weeks vacation they hurry to vacation grounds
(What do they do Danny)
They swin and they fish but that's what I do all year round
So bongo, bongo, bongo I don't want to leave the congo
Oh no no no no no
Bingle, bangle, bungle I'm so happy in the jungle I refuse to go
Don't want no jailhouse, shotguns, fish hooks, golf clubs
I've got my spear
So no matter how they coax him
I'll stay right here
They have things like the atom bomb
So I think I'll stay where I "om"
Civilization, I'll stay right here
