its already in your sig, its your name

"you can only fool yourself for so long, until the feeling, the truth revealing, becomes too strong" -Jim

impress others, theyre not your brothers
merely spectacles of your demise
theyd watch you from the stands
until you die
waiting for the next show
that goes in time
one of many
you're to feast for their eyes

"if they were all burning alive
i'd smoke a j and get high
i'd save but one life
cuz they all deserve it
afraid to stand up against
the standards that preserve it
swerve out of the way and
let the truck hit your other
hes your brother never again
its not a win
if your friend
thats a sin
amen"

had a great 2nd half of the day today - really bonded with chad - he opened up a lot about his personal life which he had never done before

I really like him, he is a nice guy. I'll miss him a lot. Chris Pinkus too.

more later I'm very tired.

2:32 AM - steaming music
gotta type up some poems from a notebook so I can let go of the notebook

--
redistribute the income
--
sounds: zounds, onomonopeia
frezza, dragon ball zeeya
leave ya goku gonna beatya
with a kame hame ha ha
sock ya in the lock jaw
reduce your vocab to a goo goo gah gah
you speak in baby talk
you dont walk thte walk
you crawl the crawl
dont step up fool you've got
underdeveloped.... lol
--
no matter who you pick
still we die quick
both candidates
support war

the vote is a farce
both choices worst

LLIK the president
--
please allow me to critique
your society
when its at its peak
i wont make a peep
however ill endeavor
to brave the bad weather
--
calculate beyond numbers while you slumber
quell this thunder thats rolling beneath my heart
i dont recall if i was givin
a choice to begin livin
whats the difference in knowing my reason to
start approaching ending inherent
my life my soul my faith transparent
myself alone with the will to share it all

so I summon my chi into a small ball
and raise my defenses
build up a wall

i send out a call
into the great black hole of outer space
and im vaporized and i scream
"why am i?"
--
why am i why am i?

echoes of an answer bounce around solar
systems of equations explaining true motives
notice to your feeling and go with the flow
playin in the moment at an expense unknown
sayin things to others qui chan cain
with the kung fu tongue
ridin on my bike savin pain
with the biking gloves
.. scrollin subjects
knowin nothing
thinking bout your fate is
bound to leave you stumpin

still its something
--
from math 100:

battle tyranical
mathmatical radicals
with
pencils mechanical

beautiful equations
solve with factorization
check with multiplication
and patience
...and im stationed at math 100
and my days are numbered
--

the bat flew, eyes, non existant, ears hearing all
mental perspective derived from sound projected

--

i kill my
mighty morphin endorphins in order
to cross the border
from chaos to cornered

--

grow grow grow my
legions of ant armies
my society of plants
shrugs to the shrubs
and rugs made of pinecones
winds through willows billow
bellow yellow bellied shouts
of doubt and hellos
mellow am I sometimes
survive a knife attack
to the back goodbye

ill be long gone in the trees
living in a hidden city with the
monkeys eating ben and jerrys
so goodbye

i would never forget
that face you made
the love we gave
each other
never will i know another
alas i must disappear forever

somewhere
...

--
yo the words gonna end
so lets just party
everybodys gonna die
throw your hands in the sky

yo our times almost up
but we dont give a fuck

--
psycho-accoustic principles
--
we eat defeat for breakfast
it may be wreckless but death
we expect it
--

yo these words are my friends
even if not i will just pretend
many futures unfold
i must be bold if i really will choose one...

might i soar among the stars as an astronaught?
might i dream of world peace from my windowsill?
might i purify my soul and build my patience?
might i sing to the people of many nations?
--
I feel as if...
as if I am everything
everything all at once
as if inside me
lies the entire universe
and yet its not enough

I feel like God (I think that I'm wrong)
or am I the god of self doubt?
I feel like life is holding me in
yet I fear to let myself out.

Just kidding LETS PARTY!!
--
an ancient rush of bus pulls up
it hasnt broke just stopped for us
in this age of electricity
it choaks our lungs and rots our trees

down the aisle i sneak a glance
my vision impared by people who stand
asleep on their feet, knees knocking knees
each one, a car, thats not on the street
--

yo if shooting on a star
dont get you very far in this town
then learn to keep your feet on the ground
my mind is focused, so observe the hocus pocus
a thousand sounds pound from all around
remain standing
whether crashing or landing
whether singing or sanding
whether desert or dying of thirst
burst - enjoy the best
but believe the worst
the earth is cursed
only at first

but then its different
there goes evolution
and now its changing
but then pollution
but progress has costs
forsaken and lost
all for one or
all for not?

what are you dreams
and do they include
a way and a means
for our countries to accrue
for the ocean to gleam
in some soft sunbream memes
or will starry lights
be lost at night?

i dont think, so...
--
1:35
save me God
religion leave me be
recall this seed that was planted
that is me
sometimes I lament/fear that
I am not up for this journey
but then I remember...
I must be

for I am here
--
a cold, dead path
--
I oscillate - early, late
--
when many want to be kind
I just want to sing
--
phuck Im stuck
mountains of expectations poor on me
crushing dreams
so expensive
i dont want any of it
i want to be the poor soul singing the blues
bring down the capitalists
performing feats of tragic magic
--

QuantumBalance · Post by **QuantumBalance** » 03 Aug 2005 01:58

more notebook

yo these words are my friends
if not, ill just pretend
soaring on wings of imagination
extravaganza defies explanation
sentence fragments neural clusters
it only takes a single filabuster
to divide the whole brain asunder

--

holy moly mackeral lord jesus
everything you do leaves me speechless
make me cry so hard pass the kleenex
hell will help me find out whos meanest

and we will crucify ourselves
and we will burn inside our mind
for all time
for all time

find enlightment with lord buddha
fat and round a symbol of good
send me on a quest for nirvana
so i can transcend when i wanna

and we will cultivate self doubt
and we will not let it out

its all mine

its all mine

so now we pollute, we destroy
on a quest for a new toy
we rob our children of imagination
in the name of civilization

im afraid for all of us
for every single one

at the expense of the future
we all want to have fun

--

GEEZ THAT WAS SO MUCH TYPING - i didnt proof read sorry for mistakes!

QuantumBalance · Post by **QuantumBalance** » 03 Aug 2005 08:56

-breakfast sam

bigdirtyfoot · Post by **bigdirtyfoot** » 03 Aug 2005 09:38

I need to get in a habit of flossing as well.

QuantumBalance · Post by **QuantumBalance** » 03 Aug 2005 09:53

found illegibly scrawled on a notepad:

i got just 15 minutes of fame
to change the game
from war and pain
to respect 4 humanitaay

wont make my mama happy
you can hold a gun to my head
and ill take the bullet
for my dear old pappy

but for now im still alive
and ill teach the need
for less drive bys
why be mad when you can be wise
obi wan (insert names of wise people)
not to forget the 3 wise men
and not just christians

on the matter of religion
its already been deduced and proved
that we all fear the same death
and seek the same truth

worship the same god
yet we all do wrong
we make war in the streets
and war abroad
war in entertainment
war in our thoughts

war's got to stop!
or one day the big bombs will drop
nagasaki and hiroshima
were just the beginning
bombs got so big
stop the world from spinning
its like the world is ending

economic prosperity is no excuse
for driving the engine of conquest
propaganda machines justify
what comes next
tell us why killing is best

all i know is im tired of being
ignored on the streets
people aint at ease to just speak
thats directly linked to TV
and thats directly linked to me

(very rough but a good first draft for scrawls)

Ah..

So this guy calls me about my bike I'm selling. Asks if he can come check it out. Of course, I say. So he comes over and hes a nice hispanic guy he takes the bike for a test run. I get his car keys just in case. He comes back and says hell think about the bike. He asked if I have anything else for sale and I yeah, are you a musician? He says yes so I show him a bit of my music and he really likes it. I ask him what he plays and he says bass so I show him my bass because its one of the best basses ever. He jams on it a bit and hes REALLY good, he has a great technical fun style and hes groovin and gettin down. I ask if hes in a band and he says yeah hes in a band called the Mars Volta.

STOP.. DOUBLE TAKE. DID YOU JUST SAY THE MARS VOLTA? OMG I'm hanging out with the bassist from the mars volta! We talked about life, hacky sack, music, basses, guitars, bands, touring, "woodshacking" and whatnot.

Best hour ever. What a nice guy. I'm so happy. What a cooincidince.

Luck/karma is really goin my way. The universe is right with me right now.

That's awesome! I loved their first album. I haven't really heard the second yet, but since I read this story, I'm going to go buy it.
