In regards to my health it will always be a rush decision.
Things never get old, they just seem to repeat time and time again.
Nothings refreshing, it's all gone stale a long time ago.
Ageless beauty and commemorative lifestyles.
We're leading ourselves, not the future.
We hold nothing formoirselves, and keep nothing to ourselves.
Unwilling to try new things, it's all circles.
The city never sleeps although i wish it would.
Everyone needs time to rest and reflect.
It's human nature, up close and personal.
Unwilling to back down.
Never allowing.
Never forgiving.

On The Horizon
-Des Reves-

I've started working on and writing songs for Des Reves.
It will take a while to get everything how i want it to sound so i
will do my best with updating the progress of teh first EP (TBA).
-Plural Howl-
And as for Plural Howl me and Kim are a few songs into the new EP. It's
coming out sounding very relaxed and not too noisy. It's not really overbearing.
-Mandrill Records Website...-
The Mandrill Records website is going to be put ASAP. Once me and Andrew have the oppertunity to, we are going to buy the delux deal and things should be running smooth once the site is not under construction.
-Third Season-
The revival of noise-rock-jam band Electromagnetic Spectrum, formally (me, adam, and robbie), is now dubbed "Third Season". We have one practice so far where we've recorded two songs. It's a very rough recording but its just something to work with. With an upcoming practice on the way, and more songs being recorded, i think i will put them all up together on sendspace for anyone who would like hear them. Or possibly the Mandrill Records site, depending on the time it takes for either one to work out.

Des Reves - Song #1
We're moving upward
we're moving out
we're getting bigger
we're getting smaller
we are what we are
we're humans and atoms
we are what life wants
we're adams and eves
we've come a long way
we're far from home
you are where my heart is
and thats all i want
hello to this new feeling
goodby realitys mindsets
let's turn the tables
and see what we get
approaching the fireplace
leaving the stars
hello to this new feeling
we're moving out
we're getting bigger
we're getting smaller
we are what we are
we're humans and atoms
we are what life wants
we're adams and eves
we've come a long way
we're far from home
you are where my heart is
and thats all i want
hello to this new feeling
goodby realitys mindsets
let's turn the tables
and see what we get
approaching the fireplace
leaving the stars
hello to this new feeling
this house is ours
-SIDENOTE-
smoke pours out from holes in the ground,
fire lights up, and fills the monochromatic sky,
the end of the world is what we've found,
gravity is nothing but fortune thats fallen.
a little time in the day with animals and color,
a lot of time in the day to love one another.

dinner bells to ring
so today was going by really slow.
i got the opportunity to spend time with kim after school.
so that was extremely fun.
and awesome, and all that jazz.
i finished a new art project at her house that i began last night.
it took about 3 hours...
i like how it came out.
it's pt.1 of a two part series/ collection.
i couldn't scan the whole picture. it's the best i could do.

since christian takes so long...
killing the presidents one by one.
you can be my wall.
you can be my arcade for hire.
forest fires for naughty animals.
hard at work, late at night.
your car accident is exaggerated.
sleep tight, and look the the right.
out of mind is out of sight.
everyday and every night.
my father is your father.
and were all the same.
equal rights applied to minorities.
pawn shop jewelry in your eyes.
embrace your beasts.
feed your pets.
put down money.
and place your bets.
one for bone.
and one for you.
one's alone.
i've found the clue.
the woods are on fire.
im trying for time.
everything you now own.
used to be mine.

humming birds in my sleeves.
i wish you would sleep.

woodlands
i've been up and down.
but i'm still around.
i'm trying to open myself up.
more and more.
i've discovered i like being picked apart.
i sometimes enjoy expectations.
i sometimes enjoy the time alone.
haven't written in what feels like months.
i'm waiting for something.
and i know what exactly what it is.
i just have to sit tight until its all in the same frame at once.
in the back of mind it will be soon.
you can just feel the explosion waiting and hibernating.
it will all flash before our eyes soon.
sooner than you think.

stroke
i stayed up late last night. followed that by waking up late.
after showering and eating me and my grandparents traveled
to where my Aunt Dorothy is being kept. She had a stroke and
now she mumbles everything, and when you you can hear she
doesn't really make sense. she didn't remember who i was.
she looked really mad at me, out of nowhere. it was way too
much to handle. a'll never forget that look.
its been a rough week/ weekend.
i'm up late now. again. of course.
finishing my paper for a class i'm failing.
i worked hard on it. i hope it pays off.
tomorrow i have to go to my sisters dance recital.
after that i'll probably just end up passing out.
i'm so tired. i can't keep up.
i'm going back to being a hermit for a while.
i need to hibernate again. live in my bed and in my head.
goodnight friends.
Friday, June 6, 2008
father
i just got word that my father is divorcing my step mother.
"wow dad, second failed marriage.
i hope i don't end up like you. i really don't.
and i won't. you're pitiful. you're just my friend.
fuck you father. get a goddamn perspective.
get you're shit together. get you're head together.
this is why i hate you friend."

convenience stores
no place to hide, just a little on the side.
fuck your guidance, please, no more rules,
i get enough of that bullshit in my days,
and in schools. with paint on my hands,
i point to the sky, toward everlasting light that bends, transends,
and later gives birth to th evergrowing green sea, that sea in a bottle with
a boat and a tree, all for me, im not giving it up,
so just move a long sir, i must be filling my cup,
its about that time.
its about that time.
its about the time time time,
to stick blisters on your fingers,
and make that dime. feel alive, feel free, fall down,
inbetween your loud mouth concious, and me.
its all for free if you want, its just some junk.
its nothing in particular. colors stacked up high,
moving mach five, traveling on the by and by,
just trying to glide up at night.
still reaching for that light, balloons popping, drugs pushing,
its like the bad ending on a never ending movie.
new york im loving you, just as long as you love me back.

6:00 in the morning, thats when i lose my sleep.
i hate waking up.
i wanna sleep for all eternity.
i wanna hibernate the hours lost.
sellin them to the city.
i use weapons so i can support.
play fair, and enrage new york.
pride aint shit when got no fingers.
holding onto to the only feeling that ever lingers.
i wont erase, just press on in due time.
then open my chest, take a look, and see what i find.
what i found. on the ground ain't nothing to break.
you just try to relate, but with mercenaries on your back,
you turn to slack and then cap your head. laying in bed
rest your head before you shred, before you're dead.
lame ass rhymes before my bedtime.
day was dull. nights a loss.
tomorrow ill bleed and trouble will have a cost.
