Eye on the TV
'cause tragedy thrills me
Whatever flavor it happens to be
Like:
"Killed by the husband" ...
"Drowned by the ocean" ...
"Shot by his own son" ...
"She used a poison in his tea,
Then (she) kissed him goodbye"
That's my kind of story
It's no fun til someone dies.
Don't look me at like I am a monster
Frown out your one face, but with the other (you)
Stare like a junkie into the TV
Stare like a zombie while the mother holds her child,
Watches him die,
Hands to the sky cryin "why, oh why?"
Cause I need to watch things die from a distance
Vicariously, I live while the whole world dies
You all need it too - don't lie.
Why can't we just admit it?
We won't give pause until the blood is flowin'
Neither the brave nor bold
Nor brightest of stories told
We won't give pause until the blood is flowin'
I need to watch things die from a good safe distance
Vicariously, I live while the whole world dies
You all feel the same so why can't we just admit it?
Blood like rain fallin' down
Drum on grave and ground
Part vampire, part warrior,
Carnivore and voyeur
Stare at the transmittal.
Sing to the death rattle.
Credulous at best
Your desire to believe in
Angels in the hearts of men.
But pull your head on out (of) your hippie haze
And give a listen
Shouldn't have to say it all again
The universe is hostile
So impersonal
Devour to survive
So it is, so it's always been ...
We all feed on tragedy.
It's like blood to a vampire.
Vicariously, I live while the whole world dies
Much better you than I.

| WTF |
[25 May 2009|10:19pm] |
it's fucked. You stand up to what you believe in only to get shit on, regardless on how nice you are . I am finding it happening more and more. Why do I even bother to form an opinion based on thoughts and my own experiences ? Why am I the only one who sees what is wrong ? I know my limits, but I refuse to let the uneducated and unmotivated pieces of shit compromise my pride and efforts. The funnier part about this all is that I am not obligated to anything or any one but one person, but I do what I do because I feel passionate about the business. in todays economy, we cannot afford piss poor service.
But what do I know? I'm no one , my opinions, insights , past expeiences are irrelevant. I am ignorant according to the masses. I've always got that while growing up. I don't know why. Maybe because of how I look? Personality? Who fucking knows.
It makes you wonder, I am the piece if shit that the world claims I am . I am the evil and worthless. But why have I gotten as far as I have ?

When I was an alien
Cultures weren't opinions
Never met a wise man
If so it's a woman
Just because you're paranoid
Don’t mean they're not after you
Gotta find a way , find a way, when I'm there
Gotta find a way ,a better way, a better way

It's friday night and I'm here alloooooone. I feel pathetic. But I will live. Wait wait wait as the download continues and I wait. Not much planned for tomorrow either. Wait wait wait. Patience alone will allow me to preservere. I just ate a burrito...and I shouldn't have.
This has no structural bering. The fingers type as my brain tries to catch up. Fuck.

Sleepless gliding
Over the city lights
Watch us flying
Over the streets tonight
And I say
There’s a way, there’s a way I know
There’s a way, there’s a way I know
There’s a way, there’s a way
I know that someday we will surely find it
There’s a way, there’s a way I know
There’s a way, there’s a way I know
Someday, there’s a way
Someday, there’s a way I know it
Sunday morning
Watching the city sleep
Dreams are shining
Finely they’re within reach

| 8.5: Re-Start |
[09 Apr 2009|12:03am] |
The last few days I've spent trying to get OSX and Vista to dual boot properly. At the end, I quit on OSX and I'm sticking with Vista. I hung out with some of the guys yesterday. Endless rounds of Street fighter and shit talking, never gets old. A little refreshing. I talked to Selina earlier today, these small amount of times makes life easier.
Secret Project #1 is nearing completion. Stress testing it. Hopefully Selina will love it. =)
I'm on a boat.

| 4.5: Silence |
[05 Apr 2009|11:50pm] |
There is silence in the air as I woke up this morning. Nothing beside me, around me or near me. I reach for the phone and find I had only been sleeping for six hours. I got home at 4am from movie night at Mike and Amanda's. It was fun! But reality hits and I'm soon on my feet to get the house cleaned a bit and all of the Snakes fed.
I managed to feed all the snakes without being bit. Score one for me. As I finish feeding the snakes, Selina hops on and we talk for a bit. I can't sit on the couch without wanting to look over and scream "I love you."
I miss her. ;_;
Work is tomorrow. Yay!

I just got done hanging out with Scott, Lindsey and Crystal. We watched Wolverine (again for me). Noticed a few things different this time around that I missed. Before that, we went out to eat at Bojangles. ;_; Bojangles is fuckin' awesome.
Now, I just turned around to find the cats fighting and the snakes are active this evening.
The day was long and a little dragged out. Again, the highlight was talking to Selina. She seems to be doing really well at the shop so far. My only concern now is the cough I was hearing. I suspect the change in weather (Florida cold vs Scotland cold). She's got a few photos up of her trip at http://girly-tattoos.com/scotland/. It's interesting to see the differences in culture and city.
I'm going to bed. Mentally exhausted.

| 1.5: Not the same |
[03 Apr 2009|01:05am] |
Waking up this morning wasn't the same. My blanket wasn't stolen nor was I at the edge of the bed . I'm not happy about that. By atleast 5:30 - 6:30 I should be half way off the bed. I didn't really sleep much last night. I kept waking up feeling like there was something odd. Waking up wasn't the same.
Work was just another day. The highlight was getting a call from Selina. Again, I have to hold myself back but I was happy to hear her voice again. She got there safely and seems to be enjoying her self. All the details I heard sounded awesome. Just listening was just a calming factor. Fuck, fuck fuck fuck fuck. It's difficult but I will endure and it'll be easier as the time goes by. I will be patient and preservere.
Wolverine movie was pretty good. I don't think it's a movie that any one can just see. It assumes that you know about all of the characters involved. Maybe more later on that. I must sleep.

I'm don't believe I've mentioned this here, but Selina has left for Scotland for the next three weeks to tattoo. It was a miserable and rainy day out today. It poured the entire way to the air port and back to work. We got to the air port at about 11:30ish and got her checked in and set to go. Right at the gate, I choaked. I couldn't get out what I wanted to say to her entirely because I was depressed that we will be apart for three weeks. After she went through the security gates, It took all I had in me to not break down any more then I had already....I could care less if any one thinks ill of me, these are my feelings and I love her and it's difficult to be apart but I am supportive of Selina's constant desire to learn and improve upon what she has. It's the longest we've ever been apart from each other in the last five years. She deserves this trip, she's worked her ass off and I have done what I could to support her in this. Sometimes I wish I could have done more to help.
It's bed time, I wait for her call. She's still in the air as I type.

Humanities a failed experiment
Walking the path to extinction
Spinning his wheels endlessly
Drinks it with oil and your freedom
The Earth will shake
And the waters will rise
The Elements reclaim what was taken
What was taken
The skyline is set ablaze with regret
Ashes cover a falling
Silhouette
The city will reap what its sewn
When it dies
Watching as the City burns
Tonight
Blindly consuming Mass Manufactured faith
Mankind is a festering parasite
Relentlessly trading hits of strife
Nailing belief to a cross of Genocide
The Elements reclaim what was taken
What was taken
The skyline is set ablaze with regret
Ashes cover a falling
Silhouette
The city will reap what its sewn
When it dies
Watching as the City burns
Tonight
Only after the last tree is cut
And the last river poisoned
Only after the last fish is caught
Will you find that money cannot be printed
When everything becomes irrelevant
When the sky tears open
Fire rains down, rains down, fire rains down
The fourth world comes to an end
Wash the blood to right the flesh
Till the bloodlines detached
Cross hairs aimed at what they like
I sit and watch the city burn
Tonight
The City burns tonight
The city is set ablaze with regret
Ashes cover a falling
Silhouette
The city will reap what it sews
When it dies
Watching as the City burns
Tonight

| 10 Years of conventioning |
[21 Feb 2009|05:25pm] |
I've had this idea for a little while now and I think I want to start this project up. What prompted this is the realization of 10 years of conventioning. It's been that long. I remember going to my first convention, it was fuckin' fun. Over the years, the novelty has yet to completely ware off. I've gone to numerous conventions, although nothing as large as Otacon for example. During these conventions, I've always had a camera on me. I've taken more photos then what I had originally ancticipated. I've collected them and stored them for memories sake.
This had me thinking, what am I going to do with all of this photos? A few months ago, I thought why not make a book? Compile a whole book of all the cosplays, friends and other things out there.
But who would really look at it? Would the current newer generation of conventioners appreciate it? Who would benefit from this? Or does that all really matter? I may just start this project soon but I want to make it an open project to friends. Without friends, conventioning is rather lame.
So, is there any interest out here on collaborating on this? If so, to what degree?

So a month has passed since my last update. I'll break this down in to bulleted points, quick and to the points.- Work: Very very frustrating. I have 85% of my team who are shit and lack any serious design skill and lack serious communication skill. Unfortunately, I am still having to lay down the law and do the administrative thing. The more frustrating part is that I'd rather rid these individuals off my teams but can't. Upper management won't replace them. So I'm stuck with shitty employees who lack skill and common sense.
- Last weekend Selina, her mother and I made it down to O-town and got some new snakes. ^_^ Two beautiful Boa Constrictors. Earlier this week, Selina was able to get these sweet snake enclosures. So we've got a snake colony going on in our living room.
- Prior weekend to that, Sel and I were also in O-town for the 14th annual women's tattoo artist convention. Interesting show. Not as much tension felt in in the air. Enjoyable actually. Selina Participated in art fusion, that's a process where they take 5-6 artists to work on a piece of art for 5 minutes and rotate on multiple pieces. Very interesting results. It was all for charity too, so they were all auctioned off for charity.
- Last night was cool too. Sel, I and a few friends went out and did some Bar hopping. I've never done that before. It's not my thing but it was a nice change of pace.
- The Iphone. It's an interesting piece of equipment. I broke down and got me one through a friend.
- Dead Space is a great game. Scary as shit.
More later =)
