About this Entry
Aug. 31st, 2009 @ 12:49 am I'm still here.
she said to me, over the phone
she wanted to see other people
i thought, "well then, look around, they're everywhere"
said that she was confused...
i thought, "darling, join the club"
29 years old, mid-life crisis
nowadays hits you when you're young
i hung up, she called back, i hung up again
the process had already started
at least it happened quick
i swear, i died inside that night
my friend, he called
i didn't mention a thing
the last thing he said was, "be sound"
sound...
i contemplated an awful thing, i hate to admit
i just thought those would be such appropriate last words
but i'm still here
and small
so small.. how could this struggle seem so big?
so big...
while the palms in the breeze still blow green
and the waves in the sea still absolute blue
but the horror
every single thing i see is a reminder of her
never thought i'd curse the day i met her
and since she's gone and wouldn't hear
who would care? what good would that do?
but i'm still here
so i imagine in a month...or 12
i'l be somewhere having a drink
laughing at a stupid joke
or just another stupid thing
and i can see myself stopping short
drifting out of the present
sucked by the undertow and pulled out deep
and there i am, standing
wet grass and white headstones all in rows
and in the distance there's one, off on its own
so i stop, kneel
my new home...
and i picture a sober awakening, a re-entry into this little bar scene
sip my drink til the ice hits my lip
order another round
and that's it for now
sorry
never been too good at happy endings...

Aug. 22nd, 2009 @ 01:25 am Untouchable Face
Current Mood: Dispondent
think i'm going for a walk now
i feel a little unsteady
i don't want nobody to follow me
'cept maybe you
i could make you happy you know
if you weren't already
i could do a lot of things
and i do

tell you the truth i prefer
the worst of you
too bad you had to have a better half
he's not really my type
but i think you two are forever
and i hate to say it but
you're perfect together

so fuck you
and your untouchable face
and fuck you
for existing in the first place
and who am i
that i should be vying for your touch
said, who am i
i bet you can't even tell me that much

two-thirty in the morning
my gas tank will be empty soon
neon sign on the horizon
rubbing elbows with the moon
a safe haven of sleepless
where the deep fryer's always on
radio is counting down
the top 20 country songs
and out on the porch the fly strip is
waving like a flag in the wind
y'know, i don't look forward
to seeing you again soon
you'll look like a photograph of yourself
taken from far far away
and i won't know what to do
and i won't know what to say

except fuck you...
and your untouchable face
and fuck you
for existing in the first place
and who am i?
that i should be vying for your touch
i bet you can't even tell me that much..


i see you and i'm so perplexed
what was i thinking?
what will i think of next?
where can i hide?
in the back room there's a lamp
that hangs over the pool table
and when the fan is on it swings
gently side to side
there's a changing constellation
of balls as we are playing
i see Orion and say nothing
the only thing i can think of saying

is fuck you...

A few posts ago i made a comment about people at the Sly Fox being fake. I didn't mean you guys, i meant the other random people you see there. I guess alot of people are fake these days, but they seem happy i suppose.

Maybe it's me who's fake, i don't know. I don't really know much of anything anymore. Everyone's a bit fake i suppose, but you know why they do it. You do it to protect yourself, is it even fake? Shit man, i have no idea. When you feel down sometimes and you force yourself to smile, it does make you feel a touch better, is that fake? No.. not at all. You put on a brave face and.... ugh i'm done talking about it

I met this girl, she's kinda cool i suppose, or i thought she was. Was talking to her for the past couple of weeks via the net (yeah met her on some free dating/quiz site). Anyhow, we're talking, and things are cool. She even started flirting with me a bit and we talked a little bit about meeting up in real life.

So like this evening i send her a message and she replies by ripping apart my profile and me. Just like that. Call it boring, uninteresting, unoriginal. Out of thin air really.

What can you do? Not much i suppose. Chalk it down to experience. Hell i didn't want to date her or anything man, i just wanted to hang out with someone.

Here's a song by John Prine

Do you like me?
Well I hope you do
Cause if you like me
Then I think I'm gonna to have to like you too

We'll share our things
And have some fun
Then we'll say goodbye
And go back home when the day is done

If you tell me
I'll tell you too
And we'll say the things
And do the things that lovers do

We'll keep it to ourselves
We won't hurt no one
Then we'll say goodbye
And go back home when the day is done

We'll carve our names
On a tree
Then we'll burn it down
So no one in the world will see

And we'll make love
While we watch the flame
Then we'll walk away
As if we never had no shame

Now we must hide
To be alone
And we can't say
Our sweet things on the telephone

If we can't stop
What we've begun
We should say goodbye
And go back home when the day is done

Do you still like me?
Well I hope you do
Cause if you still like me
Then I think I'm gonna have to still like you

We shared our things
And had some fun
Now we'll say goodbye
And go back home when the day is done

Yeah, we'll say goodbye
And go back home while
We still have one
Let's say goodbye and go back home
Now the day is done

I wish i was younger.

Maybe my dreams wouldn't have died.

they died in my head and they aren't Jesus.

I will never bother you
I will never promise too
I will never follow you
I will never bother you

Never speak a word again
I will crawl away for good

I will move away from here
You won't be afraid of fear
No thought was put into this
I always knew it would come to this
Things have never been so swell
I have never failed to feel

Pain

You know you're right
You know you're right
You know you're right

I'm so warm and calm inside
I no longer have to hide
Lets talk about someone else
Steaming soup against her mouth
Nothing really bothers her
She just wants to love herself

I will move away from here
You won't be afraid of fear
No thought was put into this
I always knew it'd come to this
Things have never been so swell
I have never failed to feel

Pain

You know you're right
You know your right
Pain...

I try to talk to you
Can't get past the weather
The friend I thought I knew
Has found somethin', somewhere better
So I'm hanging on your line
Thought we could speak together
Tell me what it is with you, you seem gone forever

I'm spendin' all my time driven round thinkin' clever
With a girl who seems all right and another one who's better
I don't know if I lied when I said we're not together
But I try to talk to you, some how you seem gone

I know what could've been. Try not to think about it
Found it hard to live wi' this, and long to live without it
But my dreams have caught me out, I found my self surrounded
By the odds of our own end enough said about it

I'm spendin' all my time driven round thinkin' clever
With a girl who seems all right and another one who's better
I don't know if I lied when I said we're not together
But I try to talk to you, some how you seem gone

I've given up some thing, I guess that doesn't matter
I've started other things, I guess that doesn't matter
But I finally wrote your song, another unsent letter
In a pile addressed to you, c-/ of somethin', somewhere better

I'm spendin·all my time driven round thinkin·clever
With a girl who seems all right and another one who's better
I don't know if I lied when I said we're not together
But I try to talk to you, some how you seem gone

I'm spendin·all my time driving round fakin' clever
With a girl who seems all right and another one who's better
I don't know if I lied when I said that I'm together
But I try to talk to you, some how you seem gone forever
Yeah, but I try to talk to you, some how you seem gone forever
Yeah, but I try to talk to you, some how you seem gone forever
Yeah, but I try to talk to you, some how you seem gone



Sometimes i do childish, immature things. Like, sometimes i'll pick up my guitar and play along with some songs, close my eyes and imagine that i'm up on stage and these are my songs that im sharing with the world. Or maybe when i'm outside having a cigarette, i might talk quietly to myself and do a monologue from a scene in a movie. I fantasize alot i suppose. An old old friend/girl of mine once said i was a dreamer. Yeah that's me, sitting with my head in the clouds, day dreaming my life away. I read a bit too much into things like movies/lyrics whatever. I act like i don't care about much, but in truth, i care plenty. God, i want to get high, not heroin, just smoke some weed or something. I wish i could play in front of people like i play by myself. I dunno, when i play/sing in front of people, i get all self concious and purposely fuck up. I have no idea why i do that.

I heard a theory about Garfield the other day. The theory goes like this: Garfield is NOT a fat. spoilt cat. No, in fact he is a starving, homeless stray who has been abused by humans and beat up by dogs at every corner. Reasoning? Well, lets start with Jon and Odie, Garfield owns those bitches. Garfield always gets his own way and walks all over Odie and Jon, the fact that he has been severly abused/mistreated and is starving/homeless, his psyche has fractured and created this world, where he is well fed, fat, warm and rules the proverbial roost. It's a fantasy much like the theory that Ed, Edd and Eddy are children in purgatory. Besides, whatever happened to Lyman? he hasn't appeared since 1983... he just UP AND LEFT WITH NO EXPLANATION. It's because he was a potential threat to garfields sub-concious. Which reminds me, Calvin and Hobbes is probably my favourite comic of all time. What to say about that.

I feel so hollow inside, i lost my soul somewhere along the way. I don't even know why i write in this journal, i can't stand the majority of people. Hell, my buddy Andy (Drik) lives in Michigan and we're a couple of cats when we get low, which is alot i suppose. Both of us are ex druggies who are emotional retards and basically all around fuck ups. He lives in the ghettos, like the only white guy in the neighbourhood. We play WoW all day, we're both pretty much the best you can get too, on any class (he sucks as druid tho, heh, thats okay, im pro at resto druid). It was him tho, that got me off heroin again. He didn't give me any bullshit, he just told it to me from his point of view and it was raw and honest. It wasn't bullshit. Takes one to know one. I dunno why i dont go to the sly fox these days. It bores me i suppose, i don't really have fun. The music sucks, the people are pretty fake, but thats Australia for ya. Fuck it, i want to move to Norway or Prague or somewhere in Europe. Somewhere where i don't speak the language so i cant hear peoples crap i suppose. I'd love to travel and meet people, but i dont want to go alone i suppose. Last time i went on a holiday i ended up smashing up the hotel room and slashing my wrists. Incidently the bill came to $730 (i smashed up some windows and a painting and got blood all over the floor. Oh and the lock had to be replaced since the police kicked in the door).

where are all these pretty girls man...

God, my dress sense is horrible i've discovered, it's not the 80's anymore :( leather jackets, long hair, all that garbage just isnt hip, in fact i probably look retarded. I'd go buy new clothes but man, i have no idea what to buy. I'd be so lost, lol. I care way too much what other people think of me.

Oh, apparently i have some brain damage, neat huh?

I walk the streets of Japan, till i get lost
cause it doesn't remind me of anything
with a graveyard tan and carrying a cross
see it doesn't remind me of anything
i like studying faces in parking lots
'cause it doesnt remind me of anything
I like driving backwards in the fog
cause it doesnt remind me of anything

The things that i've loved
the things that i've lost
the things i held sacred that are dropped
i wont lie no more, you can bet
I dont want to know what it means
To forget.

I like gypsy moths and radio talk
cause it doesnt remind me of anything
I like gospel music and canned applause
cause it doesnt remind me of anything
I like hammering nails and speaking in tongues
cause it doesnt remind me of anything

The things that i've loved
the things that i've lost
the things i held sacred that are dropped
i wont lie no more, you can bet
I dont want to know what it means
To forget.

I like throwing my voice and breaking guitars
cause it doesnt remind me of anything
i like playing in the sand, whats mine is ours
If it doesn't remind me of anything.

It is said that everyone has one door.

Narrowed towards the
End. Inside you could live for an
Eternity and a
Day

Hello she said when the door
Enveloped around, against the wall with all the
Lights dark. But it will be okay before you
Push and

Pull without a sound, inside you will
Look through the keyhole and you may see an
Eye staring back at you. They say there's
A door for everyone, into which you could walk and
See your
Eternal soul.

I wish i knew your address, so i could send you a letter Renata. I doubt that, even if i knew your address or where you are in the world, that i would. I don't think you would care either, it would probably just upset you. I'm good at that. Upsetting people that is.

Well, i can never say it as well i want... maybe i can but im just too gutless. So i'll just put up what someone else wrote.

Did I disappoint you or let you down?
Should I be feeling guilty or let the judges frown?
'Cause I saw the end before we'd begun,
Yes I saw you were blinded and I knew I had won.
So I took what's mine by eternal right.
Took your soul out into the night.
It may be over but it won't stop there,
I am here for you if you'd only care.
You touched my heart you touched my soul.
You changed my life and all my goals.
And love is blind and that I knew when,
My heart was blinded by you.
I've kissed your lips and held your hand.
Shared your dreams and shared your bed.
I know you well, I know your smell.
I've been addicted to you.

Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.

I am a dreamer and when i wake,
You can't break my spirit - it's my dreams you take.
And as you move on, remember me,
Remember us and all we used to be
I've seen you cry, I've seen you smile.
I've watched you sleeping for a while.
I'd be the father of your child.
I'd spend a lifetime with you.
I know your fears and you know mine.
We've had our doubts but now we're fine,
And I love you, I swear that's true.
I cannot live without you.

Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.

And I still hold your hand in mine.
In mine when I'm asleep.
And I will bare my soul in time,
When I'm kneeling at your feet.
Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.

I'm so hollow, baby, I'm so hollow.
I'm so, I'm so, I'm so hollow.
I'm so hollow, baby, I'm so hollow.
I'm so, I'm so, I'm so hollow.

I know it's hard to tell how mixed up you feel
Hoping what you need is behind every door
Each time you get hurt, I don't want you to change
Because everyone has hopes, you're human after all
The feeling sometimes, wishing you were someone else
Feeling as though you never belong
This feeling is not sadness, this feeling is not joy
I truly understand. Please, don't cry now

Please don't go, I want you to stay
I'm begging you please, please don't leave here
I don't want you to hate for all the hurt that you feel
The world is just illusion trying to change you

Being like you are
Well this is something else, who would comprehend?
But some that do, lay claim
Divine purpose blesses them
That's not what I believe, and it doesn't matter anyway
A part of your soul ties you to the next world
Or maybe to the last, but I'm still not sure
But what I do know, is to us the world is different
As we are to the world but I guess you would know that

Please don't go, I want you to stay
I'm begging you please, please don't leave here
I don't want you to hate for all the hurt that you feel
The world is just illusion trying to change you

You can hear the footsteps coming closer. High heels on a marble floor. You make out the figure of her walking down the corridor. Sometimes you aren't sure if she is walking towards you or right through you. But tonight, she walks right up to you and looks you eye to eye. She speaks,

"It seems you are undecided about which reality you wish to live in."

"I'm mulling it over" is your reply, and it's the truth.

She tilts her head softly, her eyes dropping to the floor and asks "Would you mind if i asked you a question?" She returns her gaze.

You start to feel that lump in your throat, you bite your lip, nod your head and just barely say, "Sure."
But you aren't sure, you don't want her to say anything for fear of losing everything.

She still looks at you in the eye, you want to look somewhere else, but there isn't anywhere, nowhere in any reality can you stare. All of a sudden you don't want to be there, but she asks her question.

"In your dreams," She pauses slightly and tilts her head, her eyes sparkle for a moment, but it could just be the light. "...did you kiss me?"

You bite your lip again, holding back the well in your own eyes. Your body is shaking, as if every part of you wants to flee. You manage a nod. She pauses, looks down at the ground, then looks back up at you.

"Was it good?"

You can't hold it anymore, your body, mind and very soul lets it go, the tears start to roll down your cheeks as you tell her,

"I never wanted to wake up."

When I was a child everybody smiled, nobody knows me at all
Very late at night and in the morning light, nobody knows me at all

Now I got lots of friends, yes, but then again, nobody knows me at all
Kids and a wife, it's a beautiful life, nobody knows me at all

And oh when the lights are low
Oh with someone I don't know

I don't give a damn, I'm happy as a clam, nobody knows me at all
Ah, what can you do? There's nobody like you. Nobody knows me at all

I know how you feel, no secrets to reveal, nobody knows me at all
Very late at night and in the morning light, nobody knows me at all
Nobody knows me, nobody knows me, nobody knows me at all



Do you know that 'if' is the middle word in life?
I never noticed that.

You wonder sometimes. Where it all went wrong. I think the happiest time of my life was in mid-2000. I gad a small part time/casual job as a telemarketeer. One of those annoying people who ring you at dinner time. I was clean then, and i was smoking pot. This was before i had met Tracey in the flesh. I would wake up in the early afternoon, around 2pm i suppose. I'd smoke some dope, play a game, something like NBA Live or Icewind Dale, or just chill out to some music. I'd go to work at 4, get there at 5, do my job, finish at 9, come home at 10, sometimes earlier if i drove really fast. Then i'd just be home, the whole night free to smoke some dope, play guitar, chill out. I was 19-20, had the world in front of me. I felt really happy then, i felt like i was me. I remember around that time, we watched a movie on SBS called "Hard Core Logo". It was a "mockumentary" about this punk band. I don't remember too much, i think i started watching it about halfway thru when Zack came into my buddys room and told me that there was this movie on and they were "talking about Kurt cobain". So i wandered out. I don't remember much at all of the film, but i remember the ending. It was quite a shock. I never knew what the film was called until tonight. Thank you google. I've tried to find the last scene on youtube, but to no avail. I found a good "tribute" that someone put up to the film tho, and i really like the song they used.

I miss alot of my old friends. They knew me pretty well. Hell, you spend everyday with them, pretty much all day, everyday for years, thru high school and beyond. Hell i even remember a girl i knew on the internet all those yesterdays ago. I wonder what happened to her. Who knows?

I live in the past alot. I know i do. I don't know why, it's just the way i am. I know i piss people off pretty easily, i'm selfish, i talk about myself way too much and listen too little, i'm lazy, i bitch, moan and complain. I don't even know why i write here, pretty much all of my journals are "private". Just like this one. I never really read them again. I guess it's some kind of release for me, for better or worse. So undecided about so much. So i just close myself off. I fleet in and out of people's lives, and i'm doing it again. Starting to close off the channels in my own way, stepping in and out, always looking in through the looking glass from an outside window. It's like i spend a while with people, i tell them my shit, then i take off. I just disappear. I guess it's better to burn out than to fade away. There's always an escape and i always have it planned out. Just another chapter in an unfinished book. I know i won't stick around much longer. I'll withdraw completely, cut all ties. I'll never change. I'm a terrible person to be friends with really. I wonder if people think that about me. You already know how it's going to end i suppose. Both a blessing and a curse. You wonder sometimes. You wonder alot. You wander sometimes. You wander alot.

We'll agree to disagree,
Corr
Ect.
Maybe you're right
Maybe i'm wrong
Maybe i'm right
Maybe you're wrong
Does it matter in
the end?
Did it ever matter?
I wouldn't be so bold as
to think
as
you.

The core
of it all is that words are
just words
Whether we are Right or maybe
Left
Perhaps we sit on the fence
and that's
alright now.

Broken on the phone
hanging for the ones you know
To be a philosopher to be
a philanthropist
with feelings
yet no
emotion
I wish i could tell
just what my children
want.

I have none, but i have plenty
Opposites always attached then
attractive
then un-attract
un-(attached)

It just fell down
Only it can go back up
Only to fall down
again.

I guess you would know
what
I just mean by this.
But maybe you don't and i disagree
Is that so wrong when you hold illusion with
Disillusion
I wouldn't be so bold, nor would i be so
cold.

It's time to eat and live the cycle again
Happy, sad, cry, laugh
feel
Feel
Ffffffeeeelllll
nothing
and everything
all
at once.
It's what makes us special
and another cog-
-wheel
In time
In past times
In future
In present
Always in mind
Always does time

They hung a sign up in out town
if you live it up,
you wont
Live it down
So, she left monte rio,
Son,
Just like a bullet leaves a gun
With charcoal eyes and
Monroe hips
She went and took that california trip
Well, the moon was gold, her
Hair like wind
She said dont look back just
Come on Jim

Oh you got to
Hold on, hold on
You got to hold on
Take my hand, Im standing right here
You gotta hold on

Well, he gave her a dimestore watch
And a ring made from a spoon
Everyone is looking for someone to blame
But you share my bed, you share my name
Well, go ahead and call the cops
You dont meet nice girls in coffee shops
She said baby, I still love you
Sometimes theres nothin left to do

Oh you got to
Hold on, hold on
You got to hold on
Take my hand, Im standing right here, you got to
Just hold on.

Well, God bless your crooked little heart
st. louis got the best of me
I miss your broken-china voice
How I wish you were still here with me

Well, you build it up, you wreck it down
You burn your mansion to the ground
When theres nothing left to keep you here,
when
Youre falling behind in this
Big blue world

Oh you go to
Hold on, hold on
You got to hold on
Take my hand, Im standing right here
You got to hold on

Down by the riverside motel,
Its 10 below and falling
By a 99 cent store she closed her eyes
And started swaying
But its so hard to dance that way
When its cold and theres no music
Well your old hometown is so far away
But, inside your head theres a record
Thats playing, a song called

Hold on, hold on
You really got to hold on
Take my hand, Im standing right here
And just hold on.

Just relax
It won't hurt
It can never hurt
Not as much as you know
I wouldn't bow before any
But you.
In between
Betrayal.
So perfect?
No, not at all
You stood up
And now you fall.
Halfway down
Son of the Morning
Babylon
Final judgment
Protecting the holiness
Perfect in wisdom

Iniquity was found in you.

I will make myself

I will serve

What do we do now, where do we go
when we share a moment across the bowels
we choke on each other and come back for air
look at my arms and i will show you some art
look in my heart i will show you yourself
look in my eyes and trade another blank
look in my mind it wont hurt this time
Open a door and crawl inside
Losing your soul in a world divine
Paint the landscape before you fall
Ring a ring ring they don't do that anymore
Reap what you rape and sow what you know
When it all comes back, we'll see you in hell
Look through the blind fold
inside the outside
after you fall, stand on the edge
Hear the colour and the shapes
One more moment since they called us for the last
The beginning will end as the end begins
Fold through yourself and take her away
Take her to a place that you won't be afraid
Take her to a place where you won't remember
Just where she is and you don't know her name
Commit suicide every night to try to live
Under some home you'll never give
Woe to the man who ever looked right
While the left stalked away, to frigid to yell
Disillusioned with Illusions, disjointed with disappointment
Peel off your face with your hands on the mirror
Maybe one day you'll be somebody else
