We were snowed in last week! I didn’t have any extra time for writing since the family was home, and as of late I don’t have the time or mental energy to blog, but want to put something out. Tonight I’ll be recording next week’s episode of the podcast and I thought to post part of the script each day since it ends up being around five pages.
It’s Wrecking and rapping. A podcast with a purpose to save humanity and enlighten the dark. I’m your host King Cooper. Congratulations, you ran into missingno, your reward is 128 rare candy. How will you spend it? Using rare candy to gain levels makes a pokemon weaker than they would by gaining them naturally. This is true in real life too, money can’t buy experience.
Turning now to Shakespeare, we’ve got another procreation sonnet, he seemed to be fixated on the topic. He expresses the young man’s obligation and necessity to have children in order to transfer beauty to the following generations.
Shakespeare: Sonnet 6
Seriously studying these works diffuses the mystery of Shakespeare like how we’ve seen so many sonnets on the same scene. It might be more enjoyable to not know what he’s saying. For this reason I don’t like to learn the lyrics to all rap songs and especially true with Eminem’s fast raps, in some way it takes away from the song. Thinking too much ruins emotions.
*”Let not Winter’s ragged hand deface” Hand and face are body parts. Ragged meaning old and torn. This is not the first time we’ve seen Shakespeare’s use of Winter along with…
*“Thy summer, ere thou be distill’d” We also discussed last week what being distilled means. Ere, spelled ERE means before, don’t let Winter destroy your Summer before producing goods.
*”Make sweet some vial” the vial would be the sweet essence created from distillation.
*“Treasure thou some place with beauty’s treasure ere it be self-unalived.” There’s a double entendre with treasure, first use is to cherish and the second is treasure as valuable goods.
*“That use is not forbidden usury” We’ve discussed usury before, there’s word play with use and usury, saying there’s nothing wrong with using your body’s goods.
*”Which Happies those that pay the willing loan;” Loan is a reference to usuary, saying those that go into this debt, the debt is having kids, those that have kids are happy to pay the price.
*The next section gets fun, sounding like more modern rap with all the babies that are about to pop up. “Thy self to breed another thee.” Rhymes, another thee is your kid.
*”Or ten times happier, be it ten for one” You are the one and ten are your kids, being proportionally happier with each one.
*”Ten times thy self were happier than thou art, if ten of thine ten times refigur’d thee.” This is the rapping-esq flow I mentioned. I take this to be that your ten kids each have ten kids making you 100 times happier than thou art now.
*”Then what could death do if thou shouldst depart, leaving thee living in posterity?” depart like unalived, even though your mortal coil is gone, you live in posterity, live on through your future generations.
*”Be not self-will’d, for thou art much too fair to be death’s conquest and make worms thine heir.” Self willed seems like being stubborn, then you’re too beautiful to be beaten out of existence. Making worms thin heir is not having kids and when put in the ground worms would be feeding and breeding off of your ragged flesh.
There was a part where I chose to say unalived a couple times in explaining Shakespeare. Part of the reason the show is what it is is to teach new words and phrasing in order to say censored words. We can’t even begin to have a conversation because the important topics are blocked, through improving our language we can circumnavigate this obstacle. There are ideas humans have had and ways of thinking that if a person has not been made aware of yet, they cannot see what’s in front of them. Let’s move on to Rap.
