Always

2010-01-08T15:03:00.002-05:00

My breath stopped today

As I looked in your eyes

I'll never understand what you see

When you look back at me

The world for me

Is a harsh ultraviolent, bleeding

Halfway between sleep and waking

That's where you'll find me

Always

Everything is behind glass

Just out of my reach

God lives underwater

And I can't swim

Never wanting

Always needing

Never living

Always breathing

Always

I can never begin to see

The world the way everyone else does

But maybe that's okay

Because maybe you see everything

The same as me

Never want you to leave

I'd kill you to keep you from leaving

But maybe that's okay

Because maybe you'd do the same for me

Because you love me

Always

Everything is blurry, something's wrong

Tears fill my eyes, the world in monochrome

What if I'm insane and you were never ever real

What if I've lost it and maybe I never learned to feel

But you're real to me

And please, if you never existed

Don't let me know

Just let me live in this fantasy world

Forever and Always

"Come day, You'll say you can not stay"

2009-09-27T13:20:00.002-04:00

So I went all the way dowwwwwwn to Mississippi to see my beloved, Jenet. First time on a plane since I was like.. 6 years old. It was pretty pleasant, except for the final ascent.. my ears hurt like a motherfucker, but I'm getting ahead of myself...

The night before I left, there was no plans for me to come down. Suddenly she gets on the phone: "How soon can you come down?" and I said, surprised "um.. tomorrow...?"

So at about midnight before I left, I called the (fuckingworthless) taxi company and setup a pickup to the airport at 4:30 am, because my flight was at 6am. Plenty of time, right? You'd think so. I called at about 2:30 am, just to confirm that my ride was coming and they said yes. So 4:30 rolls around, (I've been ready since about 3:30) and no taxi. I wait 10 minutes and call:

Me: "My taxi's no here, yet, I just wanted to make sure it's coming."
Taxioperator: "Nobody called you?"
Me: "No"
Taxioperator: (confirms phone number). "If he doesn't call/come in 5 minutes, call me back."

So I wait. and wait. and call back and get told he might have fallen asleep, so they're gonna send another one over. Okay, whatever. To make a long story short, by the time, they get to my house, it's 5:30 and I get TO the airport at 6am, just in time to wave goodbye to my plane.

The helpful airport computer said "Sorry, you missed your flight, would you like to transfer to a new one?"... For $50. I was not pleased. The fucking taxi company should have to pay for that since it's their fault. Stupid incompetent bastards. So I pay my $50 for the flight change and the $20 for my suitcase and get on the 6:30 flight. Though it ends up being better (aside from the $50), because I skipped the 5 hour layover I would have had on the 6am flight.

So I get to Mississippi. Jenet's sister's we picking me up and I was terrified that they would hate me. But my god how I was happy to see her. I swear she gets more beautiful every time I see her. After we got home, after not too long I met her parents. Her mommy is nice. Jenet made me Chicken Parmesan XD. It was amazing. But most of the days consisted of mushy romantic stuffs, video games, Will & Grace and trying to fix her computer.

As lame as that sounds, it was so fucking amazing. I truly, truly have never felt like this. I feel fucking ALIVE when I'm with her and dead when I'm not. I'm so goddamned happy and I am fucking POSITIVE I want to spend the rest of my life with her. With everyone else (possiblyoffensivenessheresorry), I really think I was just reaching out and just settling with what I had, figuring that was the best I was going to get. But with her.. I've never been more sure of anything in my life.. this is what I want, she is what I want. She's so sexy/fun/awesome/silly/geeky/sweet/gorgeous/honest/perfect.. did I mention she's painfully pretty? XD Well she is. Enough rambling, but the point is, she IS THE ONE. I've never actually full out said that before because there was always the shadow of doubt, but it's nothing but black sunshine now... there are no shadows. Love. I have found it. or rather, perhaps it found me. In my case, it's true, sometimes love is right in front of your face, you just have to step back and look. <333

< /XTRMCHZ >

But during my time there, her mom made plans to finally leave her dad (who is a jerk), preparing the assets and such. He is/was an abusive asshole so that makes me very happy. I found out today that the day I left, she actually did it and kicked him to the curb. XDXD

My leaving was hard, but not without the positive side: Leaving her is so fucking hard it's almost physically painful. But a few months is a small price to pay for the rest of our lives. I really can't believe that on the 12th, we'll have been dating for half a year already. Crazy. <3333333

In closing, I'm back, sadly. I missed a few things, but I really don't wanna be back here, but I am nonetheless.

Drowning

2009-08-04T03:20:00.003-04:00

Violently feeding
The lies in my head
Sever the ties
Hating the eyes on me

Fist full of life
And a knife full of death
Look around
Is that all that's left?

In this moment
Maybe you only have today
Will you make it count
Or will it just become yesterday

Water drips, faking comfort
But we all know the truth lies outside
In the world I've created for myself
The little fairy tale that I want to live

My own personal Neverland
Where I can't stop growing up
For every bit I grow up
I feel myself closer to death
There is nothing more terrifying than death
Except maybe dying alone

When are you coming home?
It's so empty here
It's so cold now
I can see my breath when
I speak your name out loud
Maybe it's summer outside
But inside it's the coldest winter
And I'm barely alive

Drowning, I can just make out your blurry face
Through the water above me
But it make already be too late
To save me

Save me?

Don't Worry, It's Always Been Like This

2009-08-04T03:02:00.003-04:00

It feels like forever
And dark clouds are rolling in
Seems like it will never be again

Maybe it was all a dream?
If so, don't ever wake me
Or take the risk and break me
Shatter like glass
The fragile of my heart

I can bring death
But now it's killing me
Now it's like I'm peddling backwards
Going forward in reverse

This room feels like a hearse
The weight of my thoughts
Asphyxiating

But the light is slowly fading
Quickly now, before they see you
The voices of paranoia whisper inside the walls
Scratching and clawing, they want out
I can never let them out
I will never let them out
But I can't stop them now
Nothing can stop them now
Nothing can stop
Nothing

N o t h i n g

Am I empty or full of disease?
I've never felt so alive and dead at the same time
I am the walking dead
Stumbling along
Trying to find where I belong
Perhaps I don't belong
But a bullet to the heart
Is the only way to kill me

I'll walk until I see the ocean
Pause to watch the shimmering on the blue glass
Keep walking, I'm going down
I'm going down
But I love you
From beneath the ocean
No one can stop me now
No one can stop
No one.

N o O n e

The Answer is Always There

2009-06-14T17:24:00.004-04:00

God, I honestly never though it would all turn out this way. It's been rough and it will be for a bit, but goddammit I'm happy. I didn't think it could be as amazing as it is... I was so scared she would hate me or whatever, but everything is perfect. So much better than I could have imagined and I wouldn't want it any other way.

I love this girl. I fucking love her. She makes me feel whole in a way that I haven't ever felt before. Doing anything with her is fun. I love playing video games with her, going for walks with her; fuck, even cleaning is fun with her. Not to mention the awesome cuddling and such.

I don't really know what the point of this post is, other than to just say how everything turned out since my last post. If all goes well, she'll be moving back in a few weeks or months. I don't know what the hell I'm going to do while she's gone.. it's going to fucking kill me to sleep without her; wake up in the morning without her... It's gonna be probably the hardest thing I've ever had to deal with, but I'll deal with it for her. She's everything, she's my life, my love, my dark, my light, my good and my evil, she is fucking everything to me and I love her so fucking much.

I Can't Sleep Until I Devour You

2009-05-20T02:34:00.011-04:00

So.. it's been forever and a day since I posted one of these digital mindfucks, but I suppose it's about time that I updated everyone who doesn't care and kill everyone who does, so here it is:

The short:

I got a new job, after alot of soul-searching, I broke up with Christina and am now dating an amazing girl named Jenet.

The long:

Jen is so fucking amazing. I mean I've known her for like 4 years, but we've only been dating a little over a month and it feels like forever. She makes me feel things that I didn't know were even possible for my heart to feel. I can't get rid of these fucking butterflies, but I wouldn't want it any it any other way. She makes me feel alive, in a way that I don't think I've ever felt before. It's like there was always something missing.. I felt broken and empty.. searching for something, but I had no idea what. With her, I truly think that I've finally found it. She is my everything. Just mentioning her name makes me smile like a retard and her eyes make me melt. I never thought it was possible to love someone so fucking much in such a short time, but I guess it is. What I feel for her is something different than what I've ever felt for anyone.. it feels.. like.. warm and squishy. I can't stop thinking about her, she's all I dream about, she's the first thing I think of when I wake up and the last thing I think of before sleep.

She is Sulfur and I am Mercury.. and together we bring destruction.
Together as one, against all others.
Eighty + Sixteen = The Apocalypse

I fucking love you<3

Note to Self.

2009-04-17T00:51:00.004-04:00

Note to self: Give Up.

I look to the sky, like always, waiting for something.
But as usual, there's nothing there, but perhaps I was looking in the wrong place?
All along maybe the truth lies within, a personal sort of god
Or perhaps my savior shines for me with his crimson smile?

I look into your eyes, wondering how I can ever compete with what imagine me to be.
Something tells me that I will only end of being a disappointment, but then again, aren't I always?
Maybe not to you, baby, but to everyone else. Don't believe me? I've got a list for days, want references? Fuck it, you'll see. Maybe I'm negative or maybe I'm positive that I know myself. You mean the world to me and I want to give you the same, but I'm terrified that I won't be able to give you want you need. You're amazing, but even now, I wait for the day that you move on to someone better. Don't worry, I won't take it personal, it happens all the time.

Sometimes I wonder how my candle stays lit, the wind keeps blowing, trying to snuff me out
Sometimes I wonder why my fire keeps burning, the tears keep flowing, trying to put it out

I look into her eyes, wondering how I could do this to someone, to you, but it's something I needed to do. For me, selfish? Maybe yes, but if not now, later and it only goes downhill from there. In my eyes, maybe I even did you a favor. You need better, more and forever. Not spastic, psychotic and unstable. Whatever doesn't kill you, is gonna leave a scar, yes. A scar that will remind you not to make the mistake of me again.

Sometimes I wonder how I can stay afloat on this sea of pain, perhaps I should just swim to the light.
Sometimes I think I can't keep my airways open long enough to catch my breath from everything forced my way.

I look into my mother's eyes. You know I love you, I want you to believe. I don't appreciate you as much as I need to you. You are truly the only reason I still exist in the this world. I would have been trampled by the stampede of life long ago, if not for you. Just know that I love you and though I may not show it, I appreciate every word that you speak to me... sometimes I'm just too stubborn to listen, but I do listen and I do know you're always right, I just don't want you to be. Maybe I want to prove you wrong just once, maybe one day I will, until then, I will always be your little failure son, I'm glad you still love me anyways. I could never live without you.

And now I look in the mirror, in my own eyes, I avert my eyes at first, the bring my vision back forward. You. You are the one that has caused every problem that you've ever had. You don't think before you act, you speak quietly, your self image is so skewed that it makes Michael Jackson look normal, you're needy, clingy and obsessive, you're an attention whore, your motivation is almost non-existant, you talk too fast and think to slow, you cover your true emotions with jokes and laughs, you want to live in a fantasy world-- you can never face difficult truths and try to run away from everything. You want to do so many things, yet put virtually no effort into completing them. You try to pretend that you're tough and unbreakable when you know that your emotions are so fragile that they make glass seem like steel. You can't face the thought of growing old, growing up, so you try to live in a Peter Pan mentality that will never allow you to progress in life. You're bipolar, manic depressive, a cutter, a freak, you like all things degrading and fucked up. Your mind is like Silent Hill on a bad LSD trip.

And you expect someone to love you? Yeah right.

Evolution v Creationism

2009-01-23T03:24:00.003-05:00

Okay, this whole evolution vs. creation debate is silly. Who's to say that they may not both be founded in some shred of truth (Evolution being significantly higher on the scale, of course).

Creationism (or Intelligent Design) says that the Universe and all life were created by God in six days. God then rested on the seventh day.

Evolutionism (or Darwinism) says that the Universe and all life were created from a reaction of atoms, known as the Big Bang. Over millions or years life evolved from nothing to the creatures we know today. The most debated part of this is that humans (homo-sapiens) are evolved from an ancestor of the modern ape.

Now. Who's to say that a higher power, God, aliens, a giant dragon-sized puppy named Falcor, spirits or whatever, didn't first create those atoms that then caused the big bang? And likewise, who's to say that this higher power didn't use those atoms, much like mason would use bricks or a child would use Legos, as the building blocks of life?

Everything was created in six days. Now for one, obviously no one was alive then and theoretically if there had been someone alive, they certainly didn't have a form of writing or history keeping, nor anyone to share it with, so the time frame is undoubtedly theoretical. But for the sake of argument, let's say that it was six "days", I highly doubt that those "days" were days in our current sense. It is far more likely that a "day" was perhaps 1 or 5 or even 10 million years. Now in our theoretical situation, the higher power created life on the fifth and sixth days; Airbourne creatures and ocean creatures on the fifth, basically all other life on the sixth and then rested on the seventh.

Also isn't it sort of strange that the order or creation basically follows an example of evolution as well: Simple organism (atoms), water creature, (Fifth Day) water creature grows legs (evolution), loses fins, walks on land (Sixth Day). Sound ridiculous? Ever heard of a frog? Egg (simple organism), tadpole (water creature that swims), grows legs, walks on land (land creature).

Moving on. We all know that carbon dating proves that dinosaurs never lived at the same time as humans. (Although I have a ridiculous Christian children's book that says they did to prove creationism). Which also proves the theory that these "days" were far longer than a day, since according to Creationism all land life was created on the sixth 'day'. So let's say that somewhere relatively close to the beginning of the sixth "day" animals came to be, including dinosaurs. Then somewhere along the line came early hominids and that over the course of this "day" they evolved, just like the frog example, into humans. Then, the seventh "day" perhaps was just a blank period of time between the beginning of existance and the beginning of recorded history. Or perhaps it was the seventh "day" was the period during which early hominids evolved upright into man.

Or it could all be a bunch of crap.

All I'm saying is that, believing in god or not... believing in evolution or not... there are points to both sides, though the evolution side is far more grounded. However, to break it down:

The atoms had to come from somewhere, and don't say they came from smaller particles, etc. No matter how far you go down into nano-science, it had to come from something.

On the other hand, but by the same token, there is far too much evidence that proves evolution as well as the time period of dinosaurs and basically no real evidence about creation to try to take genesis literally.

Think about it or don't. I don't care.

Race Against Time

I found an amazingly thoughtful blog post and I think people should read it: HERE

Something

2008-08-25T15:47:00.003-04:00

Something
I'm reaching out for
Something
I just want to become
Something
I just want to feel
Something
Never wanted to be
Something
No, not like this

Something
Negative nothing
Something
Never wanted to belive in
Something
But I'm losing my grip on
Something
Everything, vision blurred
Something
Is very wrong here

Something
Needs to change
Something
Coming from nothing
Something
Break get me out of here
Something
From nothing is still
Nothing

What the fuck. I'm feeling very angrypissedoffdepressedinspireddeadly but I'm all dressed up with nowhere to go with it. And it's making me frustrated as fuck. I need something, but I just don't know what; inspiration, help, guidance, collaboration, death, if you think you know what I need, by all means, bring it on. That is all.

Has Died/Is Dying/Will Die

2008-08-23T03:06:00.000-04:00

I'm tense today, but I'm not sure how
Past, present, future
I'm losing my grip on reality
I can't do this again

The clouds are rolling in
Obscure the light
Rubbing my eyes
I can't see, what has become of me

How can I believe in you
When I don't believe in myself?
I promise to hold this close
As I fall away from the world

Scars begin to fade, but why do I miss them?
They laugh at me and my misery
Prodding me to fake this
But I know, I can't take this
Can't you see, that I'm already dead inside
But was I ever alive, since I was revived

Trying to see myself as one of them
But I can never be someone again
My ties to them were severed long ago
I can't fix this, not this time
I'm not falling apart, this life isn't art
It's a fucking disease
Cut off the lobe to make you feel
Never again can this be real

Slipping into lucidity when I breathe
Maybe I should just stop this
Asphyxiation vital to this design
Can I make art with death refined?

Come see my gallery in the hills
The walls are soft, the skin is broken
This is the showroom, my final statement
A noose plays spotlight here, is this art?

This is the last contribution
This is the new solution
Leave your money in the jar
It's all part of this game called life
Never did I want to be part of it
Where did I sign up for this?
Just want to get out, don't even want my money back
Just let me off this fucking train

Bloody Knuckles

2008-08-23T00:50:00.000-04:00

So in case anyone was wondering what's going on in my life (as if anyone really reads these), I figured I'd write some shit. I'm feeling... mentally painful, though I'm not really sure what that means.

Money is a demon which haunts us from wake to sleep, everyday. Everything is about money and it sucks; no matter what we never have enough for all the bills, problems, food and everything else.
So I just became certified to be a shift manager today at my job, so that's a bit of an accomplishment, I suppose, but I feel like I'm becoming something that I never wanted to be, you know? Becoming the thing I always hated; Trapped in a hole, going up, but into what? A ceiling of rusting spikes, is this where I want to go? Nevertheless, here I am, but I want to do something that matters, something that makes people feel some way, that makes me feel accomplished, worthwhile and that I'm doing something, not stuck in this neverending black hole cycle dream.

Other things. I've been very frustrated as of late because I can't seem to complete anything musically that I feel is a finished product, I feel inspired but that I just can't seem to get it to come out the way my ears would like it. I need to create some music, but I'm becoming more and more pained to try to write something worthwhile, it seems so futile and pointless. Maybe I'm just starting to realize that I'm never going anywhere as a musician and it's very distressing realization as that is one of my greatest interests in life.

Aside from all these things, I'm fairly happy. I have a wonderful fiancee, Christina and we're very happy together and to this day I continue to love her more every single day (fuck you all). I have a painfully cute little shih-tzu puppy named Peanut, who never ceases to make me smile even when I have a terrible day (which is pretty much everyday). We have a nice home with all kinds of cool stuff, which is more than I guess alot of people can say, so I guess in the end maybe I'm just a spoiled bitch? Whatever. But I just want more, we need change and to move our life into the next and better metaphorical level. I won't fucking settle with this, I refuse, we will not settle, we will have the best. I don't want to simply float in the river of life, I want to get a fucking speedboat and see what this motherfucker can do. Does that sound selfish or snobby? I don't think so, but if you do you can get fucked, because that's what I want for me and for us.

So I write these broken words like bloody knuckles
Cut open and bleeding for the world to see
Not caring what the world thinks anymore
I just wanna be myself now, fuck the rest
I won't let you in, I need to breathe in this death to feel alive
Never hold me back, I won't let you hold me back
Anymore

Trapped & Painted

2008-08-20T03:52:00.000-04:00

The confusion surrounds me, encompasses all that I am
Someday I think you'll see, what I can never show you in me
Just a drop in your eyes, a glimmer in the pool
Never knew another, never knew what lay beneath this skin
Now I'm giving in, I'm giving in to it
Stitch up this empty heart, fake again that I know what I am
But I'm trapped in neverland
Peering out with a child's eyes an old man's heart
Stopped beating before it could start
Never again to know your smile
But it was worth it for a while
Now it's gone.

The hurt that keeps me from the sky,
The hate that keeps me with the flies
So sell me to live your life,
I deserve this, you never knew me anyway

Trapped in this world I've painted for myself
It's okay though because I never knew myself
The tears I shed falling just like rain
I've found another kind of pain
And now it's over

STAY QUIET

2008-08-19T13:42:00.001-04:00

I've stay quiet for so long, but now I'm alive in death
Twitching inside my caccoon, bleed my way out
I need this, I need this
The world needs this now more than ever
In this time of darkness

Stronger than ever, seething with animosity for this
For them, for everything that's ever flash before your eyes
Can you save yourself from this?
Can you save yourself from this?
You need this, you bleed this
You fucking need this now more than ever
In this time of darkness

Open up the slits in your mind, let the truth in
You can't just let them tell you
What to think, mold your thoughts around it
Never again, never again, let them in

Never

The Right to Smoke

2008-03-08T02:28:00.000-05:00

Now let me first state that, though I personally do not smoke (cigarettes or otherwise), this is in no way a rant about the dangers of smoking, etc, etc. I think those have been discussed at length elsewhere and there is no need to bring that up here. At this point, you've made your decision either way.

No, this post is about the "right" to smoke. This will probably go all over the place, so hold on. This started as a discussion at my place of employment, which so happens to be food service. Now our general manager is pretty cool and will let employees go out for smoke breaks once an hour if their work is done and we are not busy.

Now the problem arose when we had a "guest" manager from one of the other stores in the franchise. This particular manager did not particularly like smoking, but allowed it about once or twice a shift. One member of my crew got pissed saying "she can't do this, it's my right to have smoke breaks, etc". Which brings me to my point. Is smoking a right or a privilege? He said it was a right and they had to let them have them.
So I broke it down like this:

Smoking is something that you enjoy
Something that makes you feel better
Something you want.

Okay.
Well, so are Snickers candy bars and video games to me. So do they have to let me stop in the middle of my shift to eat a candy bar or play my DS?

No.
But the difference is that we're addicted, he countered.

Okay.
Well, what if I'm addicted to sex or video games or alcohol? Can I get a break every time I'm phening to for some rough sex, Resident Evil or Southern Comfort?

No.
Well then, what makes smoking so special? Why does it have this godlike power to allow people to stop their job and take an extra break or 5. Extra breaks that at many jobs I wasn't allowed to have. Why? "Because you don't smoke." What the hell? So because these people let themselves get addicted, they get extra breaks? I don't get it.

And while I'm on the topic, I'm on two sides on this next part. While I don't have an opinion either way about the fact that many restaurants are Smoke-Free, I do disagree with non-smoking in public places like a parking lot. Being around smoke while I try to eat can be annoying as hell and since it is a confined area, and sometimes there's not really a way for people to get away from it. So I can see the thinking behind that.

However in parking lots and such, I think it is a bit overboard, considering it's not affecting anyone around you. There is plenty of free, open air available to breathe and it's not hurting anyone unless you're blowing it in their face or something. Using my examples from earlier, would it be illegal to play a Nintendo DS or do whatever else it is you like to do in parking lot?

No, that would be stupid.

So I don't see the point of a "smoke-free campus" or whatever, unless it's a school or something like that. I don't smoke, but even I think that's a bit ridiculous. I don't even remember what the point was aside from the fact that smoke breaks on the job are a privilege, not a "right".

Crazy Japanese prank

2008-03-03T13:13:00.001-05:00

I love Japan. Nintendo, anime and people who can deal with a prank without suing the hell out of the people doing it (*cough*america*cough*). In the US, this could never happen, because one of those people would drop a lawsuit on the pranksters, because we're money hungry bastards. This is one of those "you just gotta see it" things:

I Really Hate Infomercials

2008-03-02T04:57:00.000-05:00

That's right. I fucking hate infomercials. You know the ones. Late night/early morning. About 2am til about 6am. Even if by some strange act of god it's a product that I think is somewhat decent, I still want to break the television simply for the fact that during the hour-long segment, they repeat the same 5-10 minutes of commercial over and over. It's basically a 5 minute commercial looped over and over for an hour, sometimes two. What the hell. I mean, they want me to buy whatever insanely worthless or overpriced piece of shit they're selling, but can't even fill the damned timeslot? They need to just repeat the same short segment like 10 times?

In the same vein, about 10 minutes ago, there was an infomercial about "Buzz Cuts: The Ultimate Alternative Collection" or some such crap. Not only was the commercial obnoxious as hell, but in the time it took them to tell me to buy it, I could have listened to the whole album. I hate when they take a bunch of completely unrelated radio rock songs, slap them together and sell them as "the best collection ever", when in fact, it's not that amazing.

On the other end of the spectrum of infomercials, I saw one of those really annoying "demo" commercials. You know the ones; a host person (generally a woman) introduces a guest. The guest is a guy is there selling whatever product. Then they show the product as the host acts like they are first skeptical, then amazed at the product, when you know damned well that it was all rehearsed ahead of time. And don't get me started on the BS "testimonials" about the product or the "Hurry! Call Now and get it for only $39.99" teaser. Bitch, you know you were paid to say all that BS and it doesn't matter if you call now or a week from now, it will still be the same price. Okay, I think I'm about done here, I just had to vent about all that.

This is the coolest bar I've ever seen and I sooo want to visit it sometime. It's the Mario Bar and it's sponsored by Scrollbar. There are "?" blocks hanging from the ceiling, super stars and more. There are even Mario-themed drinks (which you can find here.) Words cannot express the awesomeness, so I leave you with some pictures:

A Single Splash of Paint

Daylight breaks
Through the glass, in the morning sky
But hope has died, once again
As day becomes the night

"Welcome", said the night sky
"Or so we meet again"
Welcome to the real life
My solitary friend

Sometimes it makes me wonder
If this is who I am
So I close my eyes and kiss the sky
My one and only friend

Never forward
Aways back
Going in reverse
Seven cars are passing by
Followed by a hearse

Someone here is speaking
Calling out my name
"Come with us and you'll be free
Come and play the game"

What game, I say
But then I knew
When shadows start to cry
The game they play
The game of death
When all god's children die

And with a final somber plea
The voice it said unto me

This watercolored world
That each of us create
Will turn to tears or disappear
With a single splash of paint

There is a virus spreading around the internet and it's the not the kind that any anti-virus can catch. It is quite possibly the single most terrifying virus to have ever been unleashed upon the interwebs and it could very well spell the end of western civilization. What is this horrid virus, you ask?

txt tlk is tlkng like ths + mkng ppl thnk ur stpd

Yes, I realize that it's "easier and faster" and that may be true when you're sending a text message on a phone or something, but when you're typing a comment or an email, or even text for your own website or blog, is it really that hard to type a few extra letters? It's not like you're on huge time limit or that you're being charged per letter. No. It's just pure and simple laziness. That in and of itself wouldn't be so bad, except for the fact that because this has become so popular with younger kids, some of them don't even know how to use proper grammar. Just look as Myspace. There are many awesome, well written, well thought out profiles. Then there are the terrible, hurt-my-brain to read "teh best uv myspce iz me hit me ^ if u wana tlk sumtim" Myspaces. Ugh. Stop it. Please. For the sake of the english language. Please stop.
