i tire. part to will begin soon.

less thoughts make for a happier joash.

i am a man of small demands,

let me come out during the evenings,

and leave me alone to read.

the leech once again is unrelenting.

oh let January pass!

the sky bleeds black today,
groans and bellows.

a beginning indeed,
a life reviewed.

my god.

i am shocked into silence.

It has come to this, I'm finally going back to camp.

best days of 2007 came to me in the year's final struggle before it's death.
i watched in excitement as the she trashed, then fell silent.

Flashes of lights in the sky heralds a new birth.

2007 was a year that left a bitter taste in my mouth, 2008 will be one of change.
The thought of it leaves me dizzy with excitement.

With that said, a year is a year, moved on by the repeated gradual fading of light to dark, and dark to light.
There is no physical indication of a start or a finish, nor a mark that separates the months from days, or hours and seconds.

The gears will spin on mindlessly, and no one can do anything to stop it.

There is Nothing New Under the Sun.

First change to occur:
Fobble ChatterBox gives way to Cbox. (Good riddance bitch!)


Happy New Year people.

"If I tell you I'm strong will you play along?
Will you see I'm as insecure as anybody else?"

DAVE MATTHEWS BAND
DIGGING A DITCH

Run to your dreaming, when you’re alone
Unplug the TV and turn off the phone
Get heavy on with digging your ditch
Cause I’m

Digging a ditch where madness gives
Digging a ditch where silence lives
Digging a ditch for when I’m old
Digging a ditch my story’s told

Where all these troubles weigh down on me will rise
Run to your dreaming when you’re alone
Where all these questions spinnin' around in my head will die
Will die
Will die

Run to your dreaming when you’re alone
Unplug the TV and turn off your phone
Get heavy on with digging your ditch
Cause I’m

Digging a ditch where madness gives
Digging a ditch where silence lives
Digging a ditch for when I’m through
Digging this ditch I’m digging for you

Where all these disappointments that grow angry out of me will die
Where all these habits that hold heavy on my heart will die

Run to your dreaming when you’re alone
Not what you should be or what you’ve become
Just get heavy on with digging your ditch
Cause I’m

Digging a ditch where madness gives a bit
Digging a ditch where silence lives
Where all these troubles weigh down on me will rise
Will rise
Will rise
Will rise

Run to your dreaming when you’re alone
Unplug the TV and turn off your phone
Get heavy on with digging your ditch

YESSSS!!!!!!

SOMETHING TO LOOK FORWARD TO MAN..

!TOKYO JIHEN!

haha!

children, pull on your tights.. and give them hell..

how will it be like to just run riot?

30,000 people walking down the street,

a multi-coloured sea of locusts,

flames where eyeballs used to dwell.

authority dies amidst kicks and screams.

sweet raspy guitar rocks riffs for sound track.





dumb dreams,
i walk home in the thick wet midafternoon sun

the gig really drained me

but this song made me feel much better.

Ants Marching

He wakes up in the morning Does his teeth bite to eat and he's rolling Never changes a thing The week ends the week begins She thinks, we look at each other Wondering what the other is thinking But we never say a thing These crimes between us grow deeper Goes to visit his mommy She feeds him well his concerns He forgets them And remembers being small Playing under the table and dreaming Take these chances Place them in a box until a quieter time Lights down, you up and die Driving in on this highway All these cars and upon the sidewalk People in every direction No words exchanged No time to exchange And all the little ants are marching Red and black antennas waving They all do it the same They all do it the same way Candyman tempting the thoughts of a Sweet tooth tortured by the weight loss Program cutting the corners Loose end, loose end, cut, cut On the fence, could not to offend Cut, cut, cut, cut Take these chances Place them in a box until a quieter time Lights down, you up and die

5 and a half months left.
jamming more and more.
songs to learn.

it stirs in me happiness, a purpose.
