I haven't even been here twenty four hours yet, and I've written 1.5 songs.

I sense a long year in my future.



My head is an empty room.
My heart is an empty tomb.
Those who enter either are doomed
To reside where all things cannot bloom.
They seed in unfertile soil,
With rocks to block their path.
The feed on water that boils,
Nothing is able to last.

My head is empty.
My heart is empty,
My body is empty too.
My veins have dried,
My lungs have tried to pull this dead weight though.
They seek air, oxygen,
But this body is far too weak.
They need air, oxygen
Instead I’ll go to sleep.

How am I to survive when I don’t know how to move?
Why should I try to survive?
There’s nothing left to lose.



Oh.. by the way, I miss you.

I turned on my light switch and the power to my room cut off. Every other room in my house has power except mine. I've been sitting on my floor in the dark playing guitar for the last hour. My computer has been my only source of light. Symbolic? Maybe. Things are pretty shitty around here lately; a lot seems to be going wrong. Random things have been taking the computers place from day to day though.
Oh, yeah.
She tried to hang herself.
Oh, yeah.
It was my fault.
I write about things I can't process in my head.



Mirror, mirror, on the wall
Where’s the one who once stood tall?
Hidden in a bathroom stall, impossible to find.

Mirror, mirror, tell the truth
Why does color fade to blue?
Everything I wish I never knew is hidden in your shine.

I’m giving in the towel,
I’m hanging up my gloves.
Can’t you see the white flag?
Hanging high above?
I’m standing in the shower,
I’m hanging up my love.
Can’t you see the red flag,
Falling from above?

Mirror, mirror, oh so wise,
May I see things through your eyes?
To separate the truth from the lies I can’t use my own.

Mirror, mirror, tell no tale
Why is your reflection pale?
Everything that used to flail has turned to stone.

My eyes cry red.
And these tears ooze from the wounds that you’ve made.
They smear and stain your chest stomach arms and legs.
Sure they may heal and fade
But the pain remains.
Am I to blame?
Though I never held the blade in my fingertips
My fingerprints are on it just the same.
My thoughts linger on a single frame.
A moment in time
That replays in my mind that wont seem to go away.
I heard your cries echo in my ears yet I sat frozen.
Weighed down by the notion that it was all in my hands.
I couldn’t stand.
I couldn’t move.
I learned to walk 18 years ago.
And like every breath the concept of putting one foot in front of the other comes without thought.
But what do you do when that concept has left?
When what infants do everyday is too complex?
I was all you had left.
I could lift myself up on table at age three to get candy.
But I couldn’t lift myself up on my own two feet at age nineteen to save a life.
And though you survived I still live with the guilt as though you had died.
This burden isn’t only mine.
But you’re weak from loss of blood so I’ll carry all the weight.
I can’t sit up straight ‘cause it weighs on my shoulders.
Sure acceleration due to gravity is 9.81m/s2.
But the added force of this mass acting on my back propels me lower at a speed much greater than that.


I couldn't be bothered to write about it for a really long time. Maybe because it made no sense in my head, I don't know. It's not finished yet, but I'm not sure that it ever will be.

It's getting there.

    In reality he was a mystery, and that’s exactly how he wanted to be. He kept a journal, filled it randomly. The pages were full of thoughts, but thoughts that could only make sense to him. He altered names giving no one and no thing a distinct name to keep them unrecognizable to anyone else. The penmanship was sloppy, but the grammar never poor. Quite simply, it was intended that no one else would understand.  They were his thoughts, his experiences, his dreams, his life, no one else’s.  So why let them in, why share his head? He didn’t see the point.
You could call him paranoid if you really wanted to. It’s not that far fetched. I choose to call him “him”, or any other male pronoun. Perhaps he could have a new name every time he was mentioned. But then you would get confused now wouldn’t you? You could say that would make it hard for you to follow? Hard for you to keep up if his name kept changing, if it wasn’t distinct. Wouldn’t you say?

    But you could call him paranoid if you really wanted to. But why would you want to a thing like that? Why would you label him? Does he have to have a label? Is your world so obsessed with people and things being something distinct that you have to label this person that you know nothing about? That’s where society is taking us isn’t it, into this world of categories? Everyone has to fit into a distinct little box. Everyone has to be something specific. Boy, girl. Straight, gay. Old, young. Skinny, fat. Paranoid, sane. Black, white. Smart, dumb. Rich, poor. And the list continues, but who fucking cares? Call him paranoid if you really want to. Because maybe he is. But how would you know? You don’t know him. You may have read the paragraphs; you may have understood the words. But you don’t know him. Do you know how old he is? Does it matter? “Age is just a number!” He’d mock you.

    Don’t be offended. He just hates society, and what it has done to people. He doesn’t necessarily hate you personally. Our culture is pathetic in his eyes. Not the religious aspects, and cultural traditions, that’s not what he hates. He hates how selfish and uneven everything is. People strive so hard to better their own situations that they don’t care who they step on along the way. People are so money crazed they’re willing to do whatever it takes to get their hands on some. People are so miserable that they’ll drag you down just so they can stand on you to raise themselves a little higher. People are ass holes.  And so he removes himself from society as much as possible, but at times it’s not so simple. It’s hard to remove yourself from a situation when people are constantly grabbing at your coat sleeves and pulling you back in.

    He had friends in society, he knew people. It weird to refer to people you’ve seen and spoken to as “knowing” them. There have most likely been times in your life when someone has asked you “Hey, do you know …” Only “…” is someone’s name. And you’ve replied “Oh yeah! I know …” Again, “…” is a name. But do you really know them? Do you know how their mind works, and how they feel? Do you know what they think about on a day-to-day basses and how their moods change? How can you say you know them simply because you can picture their face, or you’ve met them before? Meeting someone, and knowing someone are completely different things.

    So he had friends in society. A couple of close ones. A couple that thought they were close ones. But mostly just people he had met.
He used the friend word cautiously.  He didn’t like it. What he considered a friend is far above what most of his “friends” consider to be a friend. It takes a lot more than just hanging out with someone to be friends. True friends, they rarely exist. The word “friends” is thrown around so much the days it hardly has meaning anymore. Just like those three little words. Probably the most commonly used, but rarely meant words in the English language. And he was  sure the translations were the same for their language. “I” “love” “you”. One. Two. Three. Three simple little words. But people throw those around all the time like they’re nothing. They slide of people’s tongues. They fall from their lips. More often than not, they mean absolutely nothing. No. That’s not true. More often than not they mean “I want you to do this for me…” or some other for of that sentence.

    People say them to get what they want. Be it a girl, or a boy, money, material possessions, anything. People say them with an agenda attached to them. Only most people hearing the words are too blind to see it. Even though they have most likely attached their own little agenda to the words at one point or another.  But they don’t care. Someone said they loved them. And of course the person meant it.  Why the fuck wouldn’t they?  The person hearing it was worthy of love right? People are so naive. He never said the words. He never meant them. Except perhaps to his pets. He loved them. But a human being? Rarely.

    He wasn’t cold. He wasn’t black hearted. He wasn’t an ass hole incapable of love. He just knew it didn’t come easy, and he knew he wouldn’t be like everyone else and throw around these words if he didn’t know what they meant. He wished other people would do the same. Maybe if people stopped using them improperly they would get their meaning back. But he knew that was a long shot. He knew people couldn’t help but attach their little agendas. People couldn’t help being selfish, and doing or saying whatever they had to in order to get what they wanted. That’s just how people were. He blamed society.

I wrote a few more paragraphs for my book. It might end up just being a short story because I don't know if I have enough things to write about to make it long enough for a book. I also put in a line from and Oasis song, but thats just because I was thinking about it at the time, and decided if I were to make that paragraph longer it would have something to do with the song. It is not a part of the text. That being said.. I feel like shit, and I'm going to sleep.

    He had this ability to loose himself in his imagination for hours. He could be present in a room full of people, but exist solely in his own head. All sounds and conversations would drop away at his biding and color would drip in to fill the void. Occasionally there would be a mix of black and reds, but more often than not there would be color so eloquent and magnificent that words were not enough to explain its beauty. It had a hold on him; his imagination, and he wouldn’t have it any other way. That’s just how he was, and that’s how he wanted to be, able to remove himself completely from reality and exist in the rainbows.
   
    Perhaps that wasn’t the best idea. Was it healthy for him to leave reality the way he did?  It’s hard to say. He needed his imagination to help him cope, so let him have it. Get off his back would you? He doesn’t need you to judge him. He felt judged by everyone though, so what’s one more person.

“Slip inside the eye of your mind, don’t you know you might find, a better place to play”

    He didn’t understand feelings. He didn’t understand how they worked or hoe to express them. He didn’t understand why he couldn’t control them and why he had to feel many of them. He just knew that he didn’t understand what they were all about. It’s not that he was stupid he was actually very intelligent. Its just feelings confused him, just the same as they do many people. He hated how they could change so easily. He hated how his emotions could get the best of him at times when he didn’t want them too. But most of all he hated that he couldn’t control them. Even if he focused all his energy, there where times when he couldn’t stop himself from getting angry. Even if he tried with all his might there were times when he couldn’t help but just break down and cry. There were always times when his emotions took control.
He didn’t like to show his feelings to people. In most cases it was for their benefit, but in some cases it was for his own. He wasn’t the type to show someone they made him sad to prevent them feeing bad in return. He wasn’t the type to show someone how he truly felt for fear of them knowing what went on in his head.

    In reality he was a mystery, and that’s exactly how he wanted to be. He kept a journal, filled it randomly. The pages were full of thoughts, but thoughts that could only make sense to him. He altered names giving no one and no thing a distinct name to keep them unrecognizable to anyone else. The penmanship was sloppy, but the grammar never poor. Quite simply, it was intended that no one else would understand.  They were his thoughts, his experiences, his dreams, his life; no one else’s.

Life is boring tonight.
I tried to do homework, but that fell through.
I want to sit on a beach and play my guitar all night long.

It's just a rough demo. I missed a section of the lyrics, but I don't feel like redoing it. You get the idea though.
When I do a final recording it will sound better. better vocals, percussion, better guitar.

I finished a song today. It's depressing as fuck. Maybe I'll upload a link to it when I'm finished recording it tomorrow.

I would wrap my arms tight around you,
But I know it’s not the embrace you want.
I’D hold you tight against me
If it would make your pain be gone.

I observe your actions;
I see the differences in your moods.
He just takes what he can get.
He doesn’t even know you.
He’s got his own agenda;
He’s fulfilling his own needs.
So what if he hurts you?
It’s your heart that’ll bleed.
Who cares who feels worse
When he’s feeling so much better?
He says he cares for her.
Well then why were you together?
Now he’s gone away.
He doesn’t care enough to call.
He stole your heart that day.
Only he let it fall…  (repeat)

I would wrap my arms tight around you,
But I know it’s not the embrace you want.
I’D hold you tight against me
If it would make your pain be gone.
I observe your actions;
I see the differences in your moods.
He just takes what he can get.
He doesn’t love you like I do.
No he doesn’t love you like I do.

I took a trip to subway today. Didn't feel like eating in the cafeteria. Too many people.
on my way back to the dorm I saw this kid. A boy, probably around 11 I guess. He ran past me and down the street. His pants were wet. It looked like he had peed in them. I watched him 'cause he was running the same way I was skateboarding. He keep checking over his shoulder at something. I assume looking out for somebody. Then he jumped behind a bush and hid for a couple minutes. Next thing I knew he jumped back out and ran further, still checking over his shoulder. I was going to ask him if he was ok, but he turned at a gate and ran into the house. I heard him yelling "mom" when he got inside, but that was all.
I'm sure he was running from bullies, it's the only think that makes sense. Poor kid. People sure are awesome!
 

Oh yeah, and after I saw that I saw to deer on someones front lawn. I thought they were fake a first. A baby and a momma. I starred at the for a while. then went around the corner. The baby followed me on the lawn. I was like.. 10 feet away from him probably And I just starred at him. The momma didn't seem to care at all. I wanted to look at them forever.

Chris says I should update. I think a few of my entries start with this.
The only problem is I don'tfeel like saying anything now.
The last few paragraphes of the thing to follow is what I've been working on today.
I hear a cello playing chords that are echoing around my skull.


He hated the way the cover of a new book would remain slightly open after having read a few pages and put it down. He wasn’t entirely sure why he despised the way the book looked now. It used to be so new, so crisp; so perfect. Now it was open with its eloquent pages exposed to the horrors of the world. The solid cover was no longer able to protect them in the way it once had. Their innocence now in jeopardy, all he could do was sit and stare, unable to get over how much he hated the sight before him.
    What was he to do now? Place an object on the book in an effort to keep it closed?  He thought about this, but it just didn’t seem to work. Another object intervening too aid the covers in what they were meant to do in the first place wasn’t the answer. Why had they lost their strength-why weren’t they able to fulfill their meaning anymore? Their objective was to protect the pages. Their mere purpose was to keep them safe, keep them innocent. Now innocence was slipping away. Because with every fraction of a second they remained open more infections the former trees received. 
    The trees that were once covered in a shield of amour impenetrable by the demons, other than those of an axe, were now left unprotected, vulnerable to the ways of the world. They were accessible to impurities for the second time now.
    This time it was his fault. If not for his curiosity to discover what secrets were possessed by the shields, they would be safe. Although, he can be related to the fall of the lumber also. Indirectly he can be to blame. The trees were cut for paper, the paper to make a book, the book to be bought and read by consumers. That’s where he comes in. The consumer: The source of horror in the world of the tall and mighty greens. He hated himself for it. He hated that he was the one to lower the drawbridge for nefariousness.
    At the same time he hated the author for luring him in. It was the author that made him inquisitive. Could it be that the author was on the side of evil? An author would enjoy the fall of the lumber, for it produces that which he needs to survive off his gift. The authors suck the life away from the evergreens. They then rejuvenate them solely for their own benefit. However they are kind enough to provide them some protection. Too bad it doesn’t last. Once the first sentence has been read the evergreens are no longer protected. He hated authors.
    Not just authors. He didn’t care for people in general, as horrible as that may sound. But that’s how he was, and rest assured he had his reasons. His solitude kept him company, and the thoughts in his head made up his conversations. He could carry an in-depth conversation with his conscience the way you would with another human being. So why would he need other people?  He wouldn’t (Nor did they need him.). People, to him; were meant to be observed and not interacted with. They served as his amusement, and that was all. He could watch them for hours from his perch in the corner of their lives, undetectable by their radar.
    In truth, people amazed him at times. But not in the same sense as being amazed by seeing you’re favorite band live, or any other form of favorable amazement. They amazed him in a somewhat unexplainable yet negative way.  He didn’t understand the way they acted, how they could change themselves depending on who surrounded them. He often compared people with chameleons. Their conformity drew his attention. Their predictable lost it. Yet he would watch. Perhaps hoping that a human worth associating himself with would come along, but that has yet to happen.
    He didn’t consider himself to be above everyone else which is how it may seem. He knew he wasn’t. If anything he thought of himself as inferior. His self-confidence was little to be spoken of, almost non-existent. He knew he wasn’t superior. He just didn’t want to associate himself with other people. It was most likely out of fear of rejection, but he would oppose that statement as soon as it was spoken about him. He enjoyed his space and that was that.  It needn’t been delved into further.

Bye

I'm disappointed to say that I got facebook today.
The devil possessed me to do it!
I've been putting it off for ever because I hate it.
I don't know.. something about feeling like sheep following the herd.
Never the less I got it to keep intouch with my friends while I'm away.

I've been wanting to talk to you all day.
It was nice talking to you most of yesterday.
Is it possible to go through people withdrawal?
I feel like Mandy Moore.
"I've got a crush on you!" La la la laaaa

Oh, and I heart Imogen Heap!

Why'd you have to be so cute?
It's impossible to ignore you,
Must you make me laugh so much?
It's bad enough we get along so well..
Say goodnight and go.

Dear god.
I'm completely sick of people bugging me about liking my friends who are guys.
People, it is possible to be just friends with a boy when you're a girl.
Even though some of you can't seem to do it doesn't mean I cant.
Oh, and by the way, I don't even fucking like boys!
I just feel like yelling "I'm fucking gay you jackass"
Maybe then you'd believe me when I say I don't like him like that.
But I wont. Just please shut up.

I really like that you feel you can tell me stuff.
Especially stuff you say you can't tell anyone else.
I like you.
Like.. I like, like you.
I like your smile,
I like your eyes,
I especially like your laugh.
I like you.
But I can't tell you I like you.

I need to stop falling for people I can't be with.

High school graduate as of yesterday around 11 am. Fuck yeah!
I also got my hair cut Tuesday. I've been wearing a hat pretty much everywhere for the last year and a half, so it feels excellent not wearing one.
Chris wants pictures, so I'll post those later.
