Explosions in the sky
I haven't been reading much or writing much as of late. I haven't really been busy but i fell into a weird pattern. But I changed that tonight because I sat on my porch like I used to and I had my coffee and smoked a bunch of cigarettes and thought. My house is in the direct flight pattern of airplanes and its strange because they don't fly near my house or around it they fly right on top of it and it gets annoying sometimes especially because it cuts the satellite out at times. And as I saw the headlights and followed them until they were gone I couldn't help but think of the people in them. How many people were going to see family they hadn't seen in years and how happy they must have been. Or how many people were running away from something or starting a fresh life somewhere else. How many people were running away from their lives essentially. Leaving themselves behind...or so they hoped. Then I thought of dads going home to their families or lovers who were reunited once again. And How all of these people travel together and they each have their own story. In the confines of such a small space and such an amazing action they are transported for better or worse. And it struck me how similar the plains and the passengers were to each other. The plain travels in darkness with its lights on wandering an empty sky trying to reach its final destination safe and sound and with everyone happy. And that in essence is what people do. They travel in the darkness alone with their light on and try to reach their final destination safe and sound. So to all of you looking and leaving; finding and forgetting; loving an loathing, Bon Voyage

your finger on the trigger
"And now he was alone...stained by his mistakes...immagined himself as the protagonist in a series of still photographs, each picture snapped from a more distant perspective than the last."
"In the quiet words of the virgin mary...come again"
"She'd seen the hobgoblins who were riding shitgun with the drugs and the booze and handsome boys, knew what there was to know and simply didn't give a shit."

an open letter
This is an open letter to longing and loneliness and compulsion and to her and the other and to you. Its dizzying, love, and when i do i talk myself out of it. I talk myself out of whatever im feeling for anyone at any given point. I try to stay nutral and i say things that i mean but i mean them out of impulse. I say things to kill the loneliness even if its just for a second. And I wish things came true and things worked out the way i wanted them to but then again so does everyone else. If things were easy there would be no point no mystery. But then again im sick of playing this game. I want out. I want it to end. I want to find someone I can tolerate and maybe even love and end the game. I want to kill the compulsion and the things we do and say to get ourselvs through the night. I want you to be able to feel what i say and what I do and what i mean. And when I say im sorry I want you to know that if I could i'd take away everything sad you've ever felt. And i know that she'll never love me and sometimes its not so bad she just becomes a thought and a lingering feeling something to kill the loneliness. But when i think about her touch and her face and her smile...then i just want it all to end. So i'll look at whats left and take my last gasping breath and hope my heart stops beating because after this theres no looking back. i have become the broken lighthouse who no longer sends the singnal. I have become that broken person. And it will all be crystalized in regret sooner or later but i think for now we'll just the chips fall where they may and you can go ahead and try to picl up the pices but im done with that im done trying.

a poem about she
The rains refrain called back to us
It sang us our sins
It sang us our longing
It sang us everything we wanted but could never be
And the turbulent skies
Matched her gray eyes
Windows to a soul that will never be tamed
And I, her flawed suitor
Who had nothing to offer
AM LOST FOR WORDS…
So let’s have another drink
We can lick the salt from each others lips
And kiss away the regrets of our yesteryear

I know im not a poet
These lucid dreams destroy all reality
And as I sit and write these words
I realize I write so that one day I may right my wrongs
And as these words progress,
Encapsulated in the eye of the storm
I think about you…whoever you may be,
And the day the world stops turning.
But until that day
The world will rage on
It will fulfill its destiny and mine,
Hidden in the clouds
Until the day the rain will bring it to the tips of our tongues
Until the day we are given the courage to speak our destiny
…And finally accept our lives for what they are.

"Yes Terrible things happen but sometimes, those terrible things- they save you."- Chuck palahniuk
"If you know a lot about the world that knowledge makes itslef plain on your face. At first this can be a frightening thing to know, but you get used to it. Somtimes it can be off-putting. But i think its only off-putting to people who are worried that they themselves are learning too much too quickly. Knowing too much about the world can make you unloving and maybe unloveable."- Douglas coupland
"And i thought about us...these children who fell down lifes cartoon holes. Dreaming children, alive but not living- we emerged on the otherside of the cartoon holes fully awake...and discovering we were whole"- douglas coupland

Microserfs
"Shes heaven imagine loosing heaven"
"Your my baby now. Your a thousand diamonds- a handful of lovers rings- chalk for a million hopscotch games"
"Did you ever think that love wasn't going to happen to you?...pretty much...And when it did happen to you how did you feel?...Happy. Then i got afraid that it would vanish as quickly as it came. That it was accidental-that i didn't deserve it. Its like this ver, very nice car crash that never ends."

strungout like christmas lights
"When we die these are the stories that stay on our lips. The stories we'll only tell to strangers, sompleace private in the padded cell of midnight. These important stories, we rehearse them in out heards for years but never tell. These stories are ghosts, bringing people back from the dead. Just for a moment. For a visit. Every story is a ghost."-Chuck palahniuk...haunted

A vodka enduced poem that you will probably hate
Memories of you
and these unfinished thoughts
have become to much to bare
the cold refrain
and the moon calling out,
calling out for the nights it watched over us
it saw your smile and like I wanted more
but where have you gone?
Where have you dissapeared?
deep in your heart where things go to die?!
But thats where you kept me wasn't it...
in your heart where i died
I was the drunk romantic who only thought he know about life and love
And you were the transparancies that projected what I always loved and wanted but could never have.

tHOUGHTS BEFORE YOU
Wednesday, September 21, 2005
how long can we take this chance not to celebrate
You ever go outside and feel overwhelmed by the world? It seems to just hit you and all at once you realize that everything is alive and dieing at the same time. Everything is always changing always reacting, so you try to not change or react. You try to stop the world from turning. You even try to stop dieing but then you realize that you can’t. It’s a sad feeling when you look at something and realize that’s its never going to look that exact same way ever again, and neither will you for that matter. Some people can’t handle this so they try to freeze themselves to that one particular moment in time, but it never works. Things have a way of catching up with you, and usually it happens all at once. Too often we read into things that don’t really matter and we run away from what we really think and feel. We stop ourselves from processing life’s magic in exchange for a false understanding of what life should be, only to learn in the end that life wasn’t what you thought it was. Then you wish to make up for all that lost time…but it will never be granted. So learn to see the magic again before things catch up with you and its too late. Because in reality the only bad day is the one that you miss.

untitled tequila transcribed paragraph
Take a shot of heart and chase it with soul because those who have no heart nor soul have nothing which will equil something (in the end) So take mine because I have enough to give...(i offer it so do this in memory of me). With my heart and soul you will wander the lost poet of love and dishonor mixing words with chemicals until they find a meaning that means what you impose on it. I'll live inside of you in your belly and blood slowly poisoning you until you are six feet under. So take the road to the sun because it seems the brightest and with light shone upon your path you dare not stray so never betray for if you betray your heart and soul will evaporate and you will decay...decay and demise in your decidance! so leave me now and use the entrence as your final exit

My social consiousness has been awaken?
IN the suburbs of sodomy
reign the leaders of this economy...
HEll and its minions
While millions,
die and suffer
So feel free to call my bluff
But while your elected official takes a puff
...but dosn't inhale
Know that they have impaled; the working class
and now, were living in the aftermath
But of course this will only perpetuate the cycle, and you'll be left to decipher....what this all means!

The sweetest dreams...have murdered me
Wednesday, June 15, 2005
This blank page reflects my empty soul. My tales of woe and tragedy have been translated into nothing? Into something? the translation that transcends. Parasite to host. Pay it foreward. And now i'm empty inside until it returns to me with the battle scars of love and death, burned and bruised, torn and freyed. But for now I will wait the empty vestle until we are reunited like lovers lost at war.

If sad songs sink ships then the smiths sank the titanic
If what they say is true. If home is where the heart is then i'm fucked! home and everything it stands for is gone. For me. The difference betwen a house and a home, being loved and being alone. If home is where you make it then my home is stained red and lives in these pages. In these stained, torn, used pages I am myself. In these pages being ugy, and a fuck up, and alone, and an asshole don't seem so bad. In these pages I can live. In these pages I find My salvation.
[Insert catchy one liner here______]

Me Vs. God? Vs. Myself
Monday, May 9, 2005
Concentrating on falling apart
In this world where nothing seems real where nothing is what it seems in this world where we cry ourselvs to sleep where we would give anything to escape where we do anything to escape. In this world we are all alone. Alone and left to deal with ourselvs. In the dark and left with nothing but our thoughts, our hopes, our dreams, our fears, our faliures, our miseries. When were left with nothing its the red ink that stains this page that we have left. We are all on a quest, on a journey. We are all on the front battling our demons. We are all stuck in the same wasteland. The wasteland between being born and the day you die.

Quotes I quote too often...or not enough
"I wonder how much of their lives people waste crying and praying to god"- United States of Leland
"I think i'm a broken person. I serioulsy question the road my life has taken and I endlessly rehash the compromises I have made in my life"- Douglas Coupland
"...its scarry to feel you emotions floating away and just not caring"- Douglas Coupland
Mourned but not Missed
The last time I saw you we traded insults
And eventhought I loved you I dare not say it
I kept my secrets my defeats
For the past two years you've been away
breaking hearts and meeting new lovers along the way...
At least thats what they say
Now your back and what am I to do?
I'm in love with another and i still think of you
But if my silly poem could rearrange the alphabet i'd put U and I together forever, the way it should have been
The Stopwatch Sequence
Time is of the essence, your long since forgotten fragrance, gunpowder and cigarets, the things broken hearts are made of
Time is of the essence, my long since forgotten presence, quiet and collected with storms in my eyes
I thought I loved you, but what I loved was the thought of loving you
So take all those snapshots of heaven, the ones I held dear
and replace them with all your fake tears
Because in retrospect all you were was something warm to hold on to
When two become one
The desperation in our lives will melt your tears away, disintigration is just the begining but together we will rise from the ashes, the phoenix of distruction, a diamond in the ruff

The web of lies we spin will suffocate our love
The face of lovers
Are but masks that we wear
You implore emty hearts
And leave their chests bare
The Twisted lives of lovers
That were neve really there
And the face of this lover is anything but a mask
Its the life, love, and everafter of a honeymoon pair

"But there invariably comes a certain point where our youth fails us; where college fails us; where mom and dad fauk us."

Generation X and the quote of the day
"You really have to wonder why we even bother to get up in the morning. I mean, really: Why work? Simply to buy more stuff? Thats just not enough, look at us all."
"I should realize that the only reason we all go to work in the morning is because we're terrfied of what would happen if we stopped. We're not built for free time as a species. We think we are but we aren't."
"why is it so impossible to de-complicate my life?"
glorifying mediocrity
Its funny how our memories defeat us. How in retrospect we remember things better or worse than they really were. Everytime you think about something great or something painful that you have done or have had done to you it always seems magnified, that much better or that much worse. Eventually we even stop feeling and it becomes but an empy memory with feeling that should be there. But I guess thats how we get by, glorifying mediocrity, making things that much better than they really were.

douglas coupland and the quote of the day
These set of quotes are from the book "Generation X" by douglas coupland. I picked up "Generation X" and "Life after God". Coupland is a good read.
"We spend our youth attaining wealth and our wealth attaining youth"
"All your doing with your life is collecting objects and nothing more"
"its all over; kind of scarry, kind of sexy, and tainted by regret, a lot like life, wouldn't you say?"

Religion
"Relligion" if this offends you welcome to the world of sane and realistic critical thought. More harm has been done to the collective human psyche by religion than by all the fucking and cock sucking since the dawn of time. By the way, many religious people (including the ordained) fuck and suck each other's cocks all the time"- George Carlin

Quote of the day
How happy is the blameless vestal's lot! The world forgetting by the world forgot: Eternal Sunshine of the spotless mind! Each prayer accepted, each wish resigned.- Alexander pope
Others faliures become my accomplishments
Why is it that we always remember our failures and never our accomplishments? All your accomplishments will never add up to one failure. That girl that got away, the job you never got, the lottery. Even Columbus must have felt like a failure…almost but not quite, close but no cigar. Even God is a failure, if not with you then with someone else, maybe even the world. Maybe the apocalypse already happened, maybe Jesus was the second coming, maybe Noah was the coca roach that kept us all alive, the parasite that refused to die, the dog that wouldn’t leave. Either way we have all failed and will fail. Eventually you realize that with each breath we will destroy something. Love, hate, someone else, ourselves….its just the chips falling into place.

Censorship
If this offends you, well, fuck you. I’m tired of being censored because people find things offensive. Just because you don’t approve doesn’t mean I am going to accommodate you. If you don’t like something stay the fuck away from it. But no, that’s not enough, you can’t sleep knowing there is something out there that you don’t agree with, so like every proud American, you bitch and moan until they make me shut the fuck up just so people will get you to shut the fuck up. No longer will I be told what to do because others don’t like it. I hope this offended you in the worst possible way, because that means I achieved what I wanted haha.

heartbreaks and harpsichords
I close my eyes to your Kodak smile, paperback romances and our drugstore affair, tidal waves of memories and a forgotten lifetime, Remember the nights we saw the sun fall in the sky, the nights we swore we'd never die,...The night i looked into your eyes,...We live we love we die, the story of out lives
untitled
Tonight i'll stay awake long enough to count the stars
...Tomorow won't come if we dont let it
Remember the last time i saw you, you said "Never change"
I said "you'll always stay the same"
We'll toast pink champaign and gassoline
So heres to the things we never said, the things we all regret
~Cheers~
