New Short Story

Got a new short story up on the good ol' dA (deviantart.com)...http://www.deviantart.com
Check the place out, it's pretty fun.

I think my addiction to writing has started to rival most of my others lol which is good and bad, I guess.

This is one of those posts like the ones McCurly has all the time.

Peace,

Another Poem...

Wrote this one today during my government class for no apparent reason. It made so much sense when I finished it- keep in mind that "seraph" in this particular poem refers to the stone carvings of angels that guard tombs and graves, but that the speaker is not necessarily speaking to a dead person.


Seraph's Song

If I were an angel,
As I look to be,
You'd never have to feel alone,
As you'd sit beneath my wings.

Alas, I am no angel;
I do not wish to be.
For for your sake I would shed blood,
Or destroy all living things.

A lover, rogue, guardian, wolf;
I am who I am and I am forsook
By those who I should trust the most;
But a ghost remains of all they took.

I am who I am and I am not proud
That fury and passion and madness abound,
Yet for this world I exist and am whole
In the fact that my life is meant to expose;

The only true stability that chaos brings
Is that I'll always shelter you under my wings.


So that's what came out, and I didn't realize how deep my own words were until I thought about them for a while. I needed poetry today for some reason. Hope you enjoy, but whether you do or not feel free to comment.

Peace,

Some Voids Ya' Just Can't Fill...

Like the "Jesus-hole" and the part of me that desires above all else to be a good wife to David and a good mother to whatever children we may have...the part of me that wants my family in general to coexist in some way...and things seem to be working to that purpose now, which is really awesome and strange all at once. I keep waiting to wake up.

So I'm 18 now, which I was not the last time I posted. A few things I'd like to note- licking the lens of a several hundred dollar HDV camera in front of McLemore is probably not a good idea, Revis. Just a thought.

Thoughts of the day, for those of you that are still out there...

1. People that try to outrun the police (Dodge chargers) on a crotchrocket (generic Suzuki) are really dumb.
2. The term "cowcatcher" for the pointy grated thing on the front end of old trains should've been called "the random pointed object we put on the front of our engine so we could plow straight through cows that happened to be on the tracks". Trains only went about 30mph back then, so I've always wondered why they didn't notice the cow on the horizon and just put on the brakes? Cow-hating turds ;)
3. If you don't already watch Shane Dawson on Youtube, I really suggest you do. Start with the Twilight spoofs for you vamp fans out there.
4. I realized the other day that I will definitely cry about missing band and my high school posse, but also out of joy that I'll never have to put up with most of those people or those affiliated with them again. Hallelujah.
4. Instead of playing Spadoodle in a car every time you see a car missing a headlight on the road, play it in crowded public places every time you see an ambiguous person. It's frickin' HILARIOUS.
5. I wanna take a trip with MacMoosie to Atlanta to go to Six Flags again before he goes off to Montevallo and leaves me :(...and BATMAN IS AMAZING. Not the ride so much- just Batman himself. Superman The Ride actually owns.

BAND RECOMMENDATIONS!

1. Punk- The Offspring. Note: original punk, not Green Day-style stuff...much funkier ;)

2. Metal- Metallica (of course) and Linkin Park's old stuff. "Hit the Floor"-LP, "Enter Sandman" live in Paris orchestra ver...SUPAFLYAWESOMENESS. I'm making up words these days...

3. Goth- There really hasn't been much good goth music since I was goth. I still only recommend Manson's crazy tail. My personal picks are "The Beautiful People" and his cover of "Sweet Dreams", originally performed by Eurythmics.

4. Conventional Rock- Three Days Grace, Godsmack, Avenged Sevenfold

5. Emo/tech rock/folk-esque- My Chemical Romance, Evanescence (RIP to one amazing band), Lacuna Coil, Panic at the Disco, The Bravery, Muse

6. Experimental- The Flashbulb

7. Techno- DJ Taka, T.A.T.U.

8. Industrial- Nine Inch Nails

9. Pop- Lady Gaga, Owl City, The Beatles (technically vintage rock, but the wave of Across the Universe fans kinda made it have a pop-music comeback)

10. Other- Female-fronted rock- Mandora, Hailstorm- NoGenre- Hania (search newgrounds.com), Andrew Paul Woodworth- Classical- Immortal Beloved (Beethoven), Wagner in general (Hitler loved Wagner for his powerful symphonic sound, you will too. Lol)- Showtunes- RENT, Sweeny Todd, Were the World Mine, Wicked, The Phantom of the Opera- Ethnic- the Fire Requiem (Mare Crisium, Lacus Serinitatis, Flamma Flamma, Erghen Diado), Carmina Burana, Carmen

Peace,
