I finally saw a piece of love in your face
that bathed me with regret
have you ever thought about what protects our hearts
Just a cage of rib bones and other various parts
So it's fairly simple to cut right through the mess
And to stop the muscle that makes us confess.
We are so fragile
Our cracking bones make noise
We are just breakable girls and boys.

so as of today, I officially live in lafayette again.
Even though i'll be leaving today to fly as far as I can make it in 15 hours,
and when i get back i'm going to miami to chaperone my sister's senior trip.
When I get back from that, I'm going back down to orlando to spend the entire summer there.
What happens after that is still TBD.
It was strange to leave yesterday.
I don't remember if it's always like that or if this was the first time I felt it.
But i did really enjoy being there lately.
bill and sam and jess had kinda become like a family to me.
that was new.
anyway, i gotta go drop off a Uhaul.

im going to cut my hair off.
it's been a good ride,
but i've gotta look nice tonight for some banquet thing for school.
they wanna give me some departmental award for flying.
i'd rather them just give it to me and skip the banquet
but they like their banquets here...who'd have thought?
anyway, i'm off to the hair experts at walmart...
experts at walmart--doesnt make any sense, does it?

The garbage truck beeps as it backs up
And I start my day thinking about
What I've thrown away.
Could I push rewind?
The credits traverse signifying the end,
But I've missed the best part.
Could we please go back to start?
Forgive my indecision.
I am only a man.

So i had to take a personality test a week or so ago
for a "college to work transition" class.
it was the official myers-briggs test.
which is like the original.
they invented the personality test.
gives you information about you
and about other people like you
strenght and weaknesses
and careers most common to the personality type
and least common
and how happy these kinda people are in their careers
listed a bunch of careers
and tells how suited you are to each one
with a percentage ranking system.
so i get this thing back
and it tells me a bunch of things i kinda already knew
and some other things i hadnt ever really thought about
has my careers suitability listed
at number one:
100% suited for "Artist, Musician"
next closest was "economist, psychologist, biologist"
and i was 87% for that one.
then it was business operations at 86%
"lawyer, arbitrator" was 80%
makes me think i messed up
i let my parents push me into going into a "safe" area
all i ever KNEW that i wanted to do with my life was
make music.
other than that, i wanna know everything
and be able to do everything,
but i dont wanna make a life out of anything else.
i should have studied music in school.
shoulda pushed this area that i am apparently so well fit for.
i did make me happy to see though.
kinda confirmed that its the right direction.
i never gave up the thought.
just didnt put as much effort into it as i coulda.
this may be a restructuring of future plans.
i shall have to see.
as for tomorrow,
hog huntin

Don't have a whole lot of time,
as I've got another class across campus in fifteen minutes,
but I thought i'd throw something out there just to whet your appetites
or something like that...
I learned last weekend why no one has ever found the pot of gold at the end of a rainbow.
It had been raining all day, and was starting to clear up,
so i went flying.
i was up there about 3,500 feet.
I noticed a rainbow off to the east
I flew over toward it and when i got there
it was probably the most depressing and amazing thing i'd ever seen.
I got really close to the rainbow,
which I wasn't sure was possible.
I thought maybe it would keep moving back as I got there
but it didnt.
So i get really close to it
and I notice it doesnt look like it necessarily goes right down to the ground.
I bank the plane so I can see further down.
And, well, as it turns out,
the rainbow made a full circle.
yeah. i know.
not right is it.
but its true.
A rainbow actually makes a full circle,
it's tilted and turns and comes back up on the other side.
I hope I didn't just ruin your day.
I thought it was incredible.
Ok. Gotta go.

You're an unfenced fire.
Don't get ahead of me
Could we just this once see eye to eye?
Could you want perhaps me?
Ask me how it feels to vie.
It's a photograph discovered a decade after
It's a cannon blast disguised as a firecracker
It's enough to bring a brick wall to it's knees
Could you move in slow motion?
Everything goes by so fast
Just slow down a little
save the best part for last

"mutual"
its a word,
and we all know what it means.
but does it really exist?
not the word, but its definition...
i can't decide if it does or not.
if it does not,
it means that one side of everything is larger, wider, stronger, more encompassing than the other
that may not be a problem at first
but at some point, it must be
because isnt balance really what this entire world works from
balance between heat and cold
dark and light
anarchy and enslavement
things can be out of balance for some time,
but eventually, it has to at least move toward balance
this is what keeps life on this planet going.
plants and animals compete for resources,
but resources, being limited, prevent any one species from taking over.
this allows evolution.
in human societies as well,
an authority rises, becomes larger, becomes more powerful,
and finally, when the world can no longer deal with the extreme,
they bring it down.
this allows freedom.
and in individual lives,
feelings must be thought to be felt in balance,
one needs to know that if he makes himself vulnerable to a person
that other will be doing the same, and in a near equal proportion.
this allows love.
I suppose that "mutual" must be real,
because without some notion of balance, things would cease to exist.
which brings me to my real issue...

I just saw the funniest commercial i've seen in a long time.
and it was good, cuz ive felt pretty crappy all day.
the commercial for the burger king texas double whopper is pretty awesome though.
a musical full of men about being manly and not eating chick food.
not so funny to talk about, but it was kinda the best thing about my day i think.
"I am hungry.
I am incorrigible
I am Man."

| tough crowd |
[01 May 2006|03:36pm] |
yeah so we played the st. mary's spring fling,
which was weird, it was like the big end of the year carnival thing on grease.
they had the zipper!
they dont even have that at the fair in lafayette.
didnt get to ride it anyway. sad times.
yeah so we got there to set up for the show and i felt like a heavy metal band setting up in a nursing home.
the majority of the people there were over 40
and they just didnt get it.
there were about 15 kids there who could appreciate it.
tough to get into the music playing for folks like that.
old people whispering to the people next to them and giving us mean looks...
A kid watching us told me he heard a woman say i looked like i was having a seizure with all my jumping and whatnot.
Makes me proud a little.
Apparently the Warmup scares old people.
Natchitoches does not exactly encompass the ideal scene.
however, we've got word from houston that our music is appreciated.
and we've been asked to travel down there to a studio to make a cd
which could be awesome.
still workin on gettin details.
cuz keatons lazy.
either way, i see exciting things in store for this band.
and i like it.

my AIM doesnt work, makes me a little sad.
i guess i have to be one of the cool kids and get triton now.
slowly and carefully
because its fragile
and ever so volatile,
as dreams can be.
and one can only hope
not to wake up...

[13 Apr 2006|08:53pm] |
I fell down yelling "Make it go away"
Just let your smile come back and shine
just like it used to be
and then she whispered, "How could you do this to me?"
