Spiralling
Monday, March 8 2010 - 22:56 | batmite
Slowly spiralling
I don't care, I'm falling
Looking backwards established nothing.
back to the abyss I go.

Rewind

One strange night after fight
Called back first call missed
On 37 turned around where
Might only dares to go

back into the abyss I go

Love me some Bad Religion.

This is one of my FAVE songs.

Faith in God

it's all right to have faith in god
but when you bend to their rules and their fucking lies
that's when I start to have pity on you.

you're living on a mound of dirt,
but you can't explain your reason for existence
so you blame it on god.

so much hatred in this world and you can't decide
who's pulling the strings
so you figure it's god.

your whole life foreshadows death
and you finally realize you don't want to die alone
so you'll always have god.

it's all right to have faith in god
but when you bend to their rules and their fucking lies
that's when I start to have pity on you.

it's all right to have faith in god
but when you bend to their rules and their fucking lies
that's when I start to have pity on you.

there's people in the world today
who say they're Jewish, Christian and such,
they're all ignorant fools.

they'll tell you you can't have your own way
unless you pay money and dedicate your life
or you'll be damned in hell.

don't be feeble like all of them,
you have your own brain full of thoughts and choices,
so use it don't let them use you.

it's all right to have faith in god
but when you bend to their rules and their fucking lies
that's when I start to have pity on you.

Wow, severe winners here.

Ummm... Creepy

There's apparently a hidden phone number in the newest Portal update - Easter eggs, when you call the number with a MODEM you connect to a BBS ~ login backup / backup ~ then these screens fly past. Someone compiled these screens into a single image. This may seem like ancient history, but it was only the mid-80's when tech like this was prevalent. Wow is all I can say.













Love it... Bring back the mystery to this weird technology thing... :)

She said "i'll throw myself away,
They're just photos after all"
I can't make you hang around.
I can't wash you off my skin.
Outside the frame, is what we're leaving out
You won't remember anyway
I can go with the flow
I would say it doesn't matter (with the flow) matter anymore
I can go with the flow (I can go)
Do you believe it in your head?
It's so safe to play along
Little soldiers in a row
Falling in and out of love
Something sweet to throw away.
I want something good to die for
To make it beautiful to live.
I want a new mistake, lose is more than hesitate.
Do you believe it in your head?
I can go with the flow
I would say it doesn't matter (with the flow) matter anymore
I can go with the flow (I can go)
Do you believe it in your head?
Do you believe it in your head?
Do you believe it in your head?

Tuesday, February 16 2010 - 22:53 | batmite




You wanna know why you feel so hollow
Because you are
You're missing out
Well if you say so
Then you're missing out

Everybody knows that you're insane (2x)

You wanna know
just how long you can hide from
What you are
Not very long
I have been lost
Down every road i follow
out in the dark
On my way home

Everybody knows that you're insane (4x)

But i feel nothing. Am i better yet (4x)

Everybody knows that you are insane (4x)

Cinnamon and Summertime
Thursday, February 11 2010 - 10:35 | batmite
I fell in love with a dream last night
As I leaned over to kiss her neck
I was pleasantly surprised by the scent of cinnamon and summertime.
We spent time feeding her pet rat in the workshop.
(I told her she should feed him)
Her eyes smiled when she looked at me.
I knew.

This is sweet.

But what nobody is commenting on is the fact that one of the words is CROSSED OUT.

Ok, WTF. I guess she did not rehearse for that particular speech, eh? SIGH. This is like stupid topped with stupid.

Adam was a gimp.


Alone with the gut you feel
The snake searching the paths
quietly interfacing and gripping
the medium between your thighs slickly slipping

This is the empty yearning you expected
This is the hole that cannot be filled
A vacuous waste of time
That gleaming morsel is but a passing dream

The first time try to reply
The second time trying to speak
The third time expected in inevitability
The fourth time you break

Reinventing One's Self
Sunday, February 7 2010 - 3:19 | batmite
Eradicating one's self off of the internet, seemingly like a binge and purge of sorts. Can you control your demons long enough to live... Don't you wish you could scream your bloody head off? :/



Whoops, 2010


Reinventing one's own self for what seems like the Nth time.
Let it out, lonely one, let it out. Scream like you never have before, then you'll know you're a living thing.

Believe me I know the feeling, I know that particular fear.

and I need to get 'out of the world'
Some people choose suicide
I choose something else.

At least I hope I do.
I am better than

Mad World
Saturday, January 30 2010 - 2:42 | batmite




All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for the daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere
Their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression, no expression
Hide my head I wanna drown my sorrows
No tomorrow, no tomorrow

And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I ever had
I find it hard to tell you
cause I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very very,
Mad world, Mad world

Children waiting for the day they feel good
Happy birthday, happy birthday
May they feel the way that every child should
Sit and listen, sit and listen
Went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me, no one knew me
Hello teacher tell me what's my lesson
Look right through me, look right through me

And I find it kind of funny,
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very very
Mad world, Mad world
Mad world, Mad world

A Potter Valley woman who wounded herself and a man July 3 while attempting to kill mice with a .44 magnum revolver may be charged with negligent discharge of a firearm, authorities said Thursday.

Debra Due, 43, was trying to eliminate mice in a travel trailer on her property for a new tenant who was moving in when the accidental shooting occurred, said Mendocino County Sheriff’s Capt. Kurt Smallcomb.

The tenant and a man had begun moving the woman’s belongings into the trailer at 9:30 p.m. July 2, he said.

At about 1:20 a.m. July 3, Due, who was intoxicated, went down to the trailer with her gun, holstered under her left arm, Smallcomb said.

“Being a good landlord, she comes down to take care of this mouse problem,” he said.

But as she drew the revolver from its holster, it slipped from her hand, hit the floor and fired, Smallcomb said.

The bullet went through the woman’s right kneecap then struck a set of keys hanging on the man’s belt loop. The bullet glanced off the keys and tore a hole in the man’s pants, he said.

The bullet traveled between the man’s pants and his under shorts, grazing his groin area before coming to rest in his coin pocket, from where it was recovered for evidence, Smallcomb said.

“He’s really lucky. If it didn’t hit him in the key chain, who knows what would have happened,” he said.

Due was taken to Ukiah Valley Medical Center for treatment an later discharged.

The Sheriff’s Office has submitted the case to the District Attorney’s Office, suggesting that Due be charged with negligent discharge of a firearm, Smallcomb said.

Smallcomb said there may be a lesson to be learned from the accident.

“I guess you don’t drink and shoot mice at the same time,” he said.

Anyways, here's a really random video to go with the really random dream.

Come and find me
Friday, January 15 2010 - 1:42 | batmite






If I could trace the lines that ran
Between your smile and your sleight of hand
I would guess that you put something up my sleeve
Now every time I see your face the bells ring in a far-off place
We can find each other this way I believe

From the hills and up behind my town
is naked from the horizon down
The curvature is pressed against the raise
We walked up in the fields alone
And the silence fell just like a stone
That got lost in the wild blue and the gravel gray

Come and find me now

Though I'm here in this far off place
My air is not your time and space
I draw you close with every breath
You don't know it's right until it's wrong
You don't know it's yours until it's gone
I didn't know that it was home til you up and left

Come and find me now

I keep you in a flower vase
With your fatalism and your crooked face
With the daisies and the violet brocades
And I keep me in a vacant lot
In the ivy and forget-me-nots
Hoping you will come and untangle me one of these days

Come and find me now



Sad song, always makes me cry. I played this in the car when I was driving with my Dad on that last trip to North Carolina. It's also sad because while I was driving I was thinking about just one person in particular. Too many memories that just cannot be written. Endless memories.

Time does not seem to be healing my wounds. I just cannot forget.

Extended Play

Fuck... The cat has the right idea.
Damn this is a long movie.

I have a bag of indolence...
It's a present just for you.
It's how I survive this incredible pain.
And fuck this is just such an inadequate medium.
Nothing is good enough to contain what I feel.
Nothing.
But there's no other way for me.
And I certainly feel like I am living.
I am sure of it by God.
Because of the way I feel.

The puzzle continues.



indolence
1603, "insensitivity to pain," from Fr. indolence (16c.), from L. indolentia "freedom from pain, insensibility," noun of action from indolentem (nom. indolens) "insensitive to pain," used by Jerome to render Gk. apelgekos in Ephesians; from L. in- "not" + dolentem (nom. dolens) "grieving," prp. of dolere "suffer pain." Sense of "laziness" (1710) is from notion of "avoiding trouble" (cf. taking pains).


Wow, how apropos.
