I hate waiting to buy a CD. Finger Eleven's new CD comes out today, and I will need
to purchase it after work. There are a few natural laws these days: Metallica's
new CD fucking blows, bears are still stronger and more frightening than lions,
the grass really *is* greener on the other side, and Finger Eleven is the best
non-gimmick, hard-rock band ( Read more... )

I haven't posted in my LiveJournal since, like, December of 2000. I can't believe it's
been almost three years since I used to sit on my ass and try to illustrate my life.
Not that there's anything wrong with that, but it sure failed me on a number of occasions.
I was looking for pictures of my car to post this morning, but I couldn't find them (I ( Read more... )

I have only been back here for what seems like five seconds and I'm already
nostalgic. I think I will stay this time. I only wish I had more time to
be here before work...I love you all.

I used to be here. It didn't feel right. This is my redemption to and for myself.

The only thing you will never call me is someone else.

I read a livejournal tonight. The entries span the lifetime of our friendship, but every word is so far away. From beginning to end, almost all I could see was innocent flirtation exchanged within our comments--almost. Mixed in were a great many ambiguous confessions, very few moments of doubt or fear, and so much time invested in saying ( Read more... )

It stuns me how suddenly things change. Only, you see, there is no such thing as 'sudden', there is only shrouding deceit and masking lies. Secrets are kept for the comfort of the uncomfortable because the that deranged individual is suffering from being a pathetic, weak human being (or else thinks that of you--believing you can't take it when, ( Read more... )

When humans began to evolve, there wasn't much to work with: a few men and women scattered through caves, huts, trees, and any other shelter they could find. At that point, humans were just another species on Earth, but they were messing around with a thumb. It allowed those pioneering "cavemen" to do two essential things for their survival: hunt ( Read more... )

It may sound pathetic, but I have never talked to the person responsible for the most profound changes in my life. As long as I have had conscious thought and memory, I have begged for recollection of advice that has changed me in a positive way from my parents. There really isn't any from my mother. She is a nurturer at heart, and seeks the ( Read more... )

There are some fundamental things about me that must be understood in order to grasp even the most basic significance that any given event holds to me. These are the things that make me who I am at the deepest, darkest level. Without these things, I would be someone else entirely. I would be nothing more than a copy of an imitation. If that ( Read more... )

I downloaded "Schism" (the new Tool single -- but if you didn't know that, you need to learn) the other night. I was at first knocked down by the music, which is so addicting. Only today have I listened to the words well. I can't think of another band where the singing matches the music so well. I don't think such a band has ever existed. ( Read more... )
