Hurr-lar-ity

I found this so hilarious, I felt the immediate need to make an entire post oriented around this one novel thing.
Ladies & Gentlemen, I give you:

MAID GUITAR
MAID GUITAR





















No, I did not make this, I stumbled across it. Just pointing that out.

I think I'm on ta sum'in

I think we're on ta sum'in
If winter is a womb then by summer I'll be born.
I'll get a chance to inhabit this earth that I stand for,
to live, to feel, to be more than just alive.
To be me, to see with my own open eyes.


So here I go, watch me swing as I float from tree to tree

free as I could forever ever hope to be
safe from all the chaos, safe from all the wars
safe from all the worries that I had before

And I'm so glad I've found you, what would I ever do with out you?
Where ever we go I hope to never be behind you,
all I ever hope is to always be beside you
on land or on a boat, you're the one who gives me hope
you're the one,
yeah you're the one......

LET'S LIVE LIFE ON THE ROPES!

`Stop your tears dear, what's with this sudden fear?
It's okay if we haven't left, forget  all those reasons why we've wept
I just hope you know and that your heart decides to hear
that we are way more than just our fears

SO WATCH US GO!

Here we go, watch us swing as we float from tree to tree
free as we could forever ever hope to be
safe from all the chaos, safe from all the wars
safe from all the worries that we had before


'Cause when the summer comes, nothing will ever stop our fun
We are free, free as can be as we float from tree to tree,
we are safe we are secure we are our own cure
why don't we just leave today?
I'll open the front door....and we'll just float away.





Thoughts? Comments? Can you tell what the rhythm of the song is? I may still need to do some fiddling, but I think it's pretty much done :)

Listen to Good Clean Fun dammit!

It's just interesting to do the surveys that aren't completely stupid.
It's relaxing to answer questions. By the way, why does answer have a 'w' in it? Silent letters make no sense at all. Guess it's purely ornamental, eh?



Has anyon​e calle​d you babe,​ with meani​ng today​?​
Eh? No...they haven't. By the way, words never lack meaning. Even gibberish has tone and inflection behind it.

Umm....I dunno.

Are you in a good mood?
Yeah! Pretty good....


What will you do after​ this?
Paint a little, talk to theresa, arjay, or sage, listen to Bridge and Tunnel s'more.


How many TRUE frien​ds do you have that you can tell anyth​ing to?
All my those I count as friends, are true friends. What are they If they're not friends? Strangers? Which they are most definitely not! I have at least two close friends I can tell things to.


Do you want to see someb​ody right​ now?
I haven't seen nessa in a long time, I miss her bunches.


Is there​ someo​ne who likes​ you?
Maybe. Maybe they're shy and hiding out 'cause they're to afraid to say anything. In which case, I understand, and they're adorable. :)


Who'​s think​ing about​ you right​ now?
People reading this :3


Who was the last perso​n you took a pictu​re with?
Theresa was the last person to take my picture, does that count?

Maybe, when we where little.

Tonight, when sledding!


What was the last song you sang out loud?
I sang along for what I could to some folk song on the radio on the drive home from Chris Beers' house.


What time did you go to bed last night​?​
About...4:00...ugh

When was the last time you cried​?​
I think I cried a tiny bit on Monday. I was feeling really down.

Who gives​ you the best advic​e?​
Sheila, Arjay has a tendency to say, "just do what you feel you should" which doesn't really help.
Sheila, you actually give good advice and encouragement.


Do you wear toe socks​?​
I've never even tried them on, but I hear they're comfortable.


Who is the last perso​n you misse​d a call from?
Dad or mom probally.

*yawwnn* I slept through most of today. What a waste of a day, and I don't even feel rested (faaarrr from it). Whatever. What are y'all up to this fine icy day? Anyone going to see project:CITIZEN and Alex at the Tuscan this Friday? 'Cause 'ya should. Hopefully sometime tomorrow, or Friday I'll have my snakebites. Fingers crossed. Hopefully Friday I'll see Nessa.....haven't seen her in years. I miss her. It's been a good week so far, school starts next Monday (that's a a mix of ugh, and hurray something to do). I want a house so badly. I'm so tired I forgot what sentence structure is. Oh well. At least I'm feeling positive.

Kurt Vonnegut's books have great titles, like Breakfast of Champions and Slaughterhouse Five. If your life was a novel, what would the title be?

Mr. Transendence and the Horrible Problem With Cats,  The Eternal Spotlessness, Eloping Towards Sunday: How I Spent A Week In Bed (a quirky teen-romance novel).


*EDIT* That's the whole title, overuse of commas and all. I guess I kinda misread the question. I also guess my life is a series of novels as well.

I'm going back to school. I am going back to school and kicking it's ass. Saying I dropped out of school to 'learn to be more responsible' was total bullshit. I like learning, and should never have stopped going to the one place that actively promotes higher thinking and learning:college.
It's also to damn hard and overwhelming to find a job. Especially when the economy has been going bad. That isn't the problem though. I can't find a job because of the economy, but because of another reason I recently discovered. I have realized through talking about things with my mom, that I have an anxiety problem. I would not call places to work because I was to scared. To worried about what could happen. It's one of those things that are right in front of your face, yet you can't see it. Either you don;t realize, or you don't want to admit to yourself that you have a problem. This is kinda a big thing to realize, because a lot of things now make sense to me, like why I never actively sought out jobs, why I never talked to my teachers about school things (I'd bullshit myself out of talking to them "oh they're busy, I'll just ask tomorrow"), and why I totally shut down when my parents grill me on things life related. I am just to anxious and can't deal with it. I am to easily overwhelmed and shut down at the least bit of stress, because I'm just plain scared. This really is a huge thing to realize and come to terms with. Long story short, I'm going on anxiety medication, and seeing a therapist again. Wheee. Last time I was on a anxiety med (when I was little) I was perfect for a day, and the next day got incredibly pissed and kicked a hole in the wall. So , things could potentially get 'interesting'.

So yeah, just putting that out there. I have depth, I am not a one dimensional happy Tim.
I'm secretly a bit nuts.

IN HAPPIER NEWS,
-Yes I am going back to school, and I'm excited. Yes, Excited. With a capitol 'E'.
-Two zines In the works! Starting 'The Gravediggers' Union' well, hopefully very soon!
-Genericon in January! TWO plans for that!
PLAN 1: Art table, selling cool stuffs, possibly an art book!!
PLAN 2: Assemble and wear my first steampunk costume ever! I'm thinking mysterious evil gentleman character >:]
-I need to re-arrange my sleeping pattern. I intend to meet Mr. Sun in the morning, and say goodnight in the evening. I'd ask him If he wanted a quick drink or something after work, but It would have to be a big drink, and In don't want him going out. My diet relies on him to work.
-Speaking of diets, I went to the doctor's today, and I weigh 204 pounds. I am not 180 like my mom thought, and I can remain a vegan in her house. I still need to vary my diet though. Like A LOT. I need to buy my own food as well. But one thing at a time. First, solving anxiety issue things, next finding out just where the hell my copy of 'Vegan with a Vengeance' has scampered off too.
-I want to have more debates on what is/the nature of art. How do we define art? What is it? Can things glued to other things actually be art, because they inspire an emotion (even if that's just pissing people off)? The latter shouldn't sell for millions of dollars in my opinion, but they exist in response to something. But I digress, that is a debate for another day. As much as I want to have a debate on this subject, I'm tired. And have to much stuff to sort out first.

So, good night, I'm terribly long winded, and I'll see 'ya space cowboy(girls,etc).

Short bit today

  • Sep. 20th, 2008 at 9:46 PM

Just a short little quip today. I definitely have a cold, and it sucks. Big time. I thought I was just having a bad allergy day, but then my throat started feeling a bit sore, and my nose is really stuffy and I'm hella tired. In fact I'm exhausted. So yeah....things would have been a bit more awesome today if there had actually been a band practice for this folk punk band me and two friends are trying to start. But no, nothing. Nothing at all. Just wandered around town for awhile really bored with my friend Arjay, and we realized that in Warwick, you need money to do anything.
The only places of any relative interest are restaurants and cafes, and the like: all of which require money. There's no free things to do. Parks we've been to a million times, and London ( a red bridge in town, called London 'cause it looks like it came from there) and the Tuscan cafe, which since no one bothers to buy shit from often enough (which is bullshit, people can spend a fricken $1.75 for a drink) so they get kicked out. So yeah, day was okay, but mostly sucked. I miss people so much, Warwick is so dead when everyone is in college. Even the people going to OCCC I don't see enough. ARRGHHH. I dunno hopefully band practice will happen soon, and I'll feel better.

On a positive note, my car goes in to get fixed on Monday. 
Finally.

I hit my head twice today, once on the really low ceiling as I was coming up the stairs, and second when I whacked my head on the shelf above me as I stood up from petting my cat. My head still hurts and it's 2 in the morning, at least 5 hours or so after hitting my head last. So, I better not have a concussion.

I wish I could breathe right now.....

No really, I can't breathe my nose is that stuffed up. So, you know don't go thinking I'm whining about life being hard or some shit. Whatevs, I think either my allergies have gotten severely worse, or I have a bad cold :(    (please, please don't let it be both :d!!!! ) I am so very exhausted, from constantly sneezing and blowing my nose. Too much air going out of me, and not enough going in! But I took a nice steamy shower and that helped....a little. But I stood up before to go eat some munchies, and I felt very weak, so I dunno. Hopefully I'll feel better tomorrow. I tell 'ya, I better feel better tomorrow. I have Taekwondo to teach, and work to go to later. Both of which suck to do when you feel bad. Though Taekwondo does do you a world of good. Not only are you moving your body around, but meditation gets the energy up and running as well. So hopefully that will help me feel better. I just worry that if it is a cold, that I might get the students sick, 'cause I help teach little kids, and they get sick easy.
Well, I don't think I will. I'll have to not breathe on or near them :). And drink LOTS of tea. Till I no longer have water in me, but tea. Haha, maybe not that much tea. Hmm..I should make some soup to. But for now bed, and in the morning I will be hoping I can stand up without immediately falling on my ass! I hate feeling sick......it's sooo damn draining.



P.S. I can't get that 'Oh no you didn't' song from the Mercenaries 2 ad out of my head. It's so damn catchy!

Fall...I love it

  • Sep. 6th, 2008 at 4:28 PM
sunflowers
It's my favorite time of year again! I love fall so much, there's this change in the air that just feels so good! There's this overall feeling of busyness and clarity I feel during fall. I love watching the leaves turn too. They're so beautiful to sit and watch, as they twirl in the wind......ahh I feel so damn calm already! Oooh, and leaf piles! Can't wait for those either. Nothing beats jumping in ginormous plies of leaves. Also, my favorite holiday ever is in fall. Halloween has been my favorite day of the year since I was a tiny kid. Just something about the general feel of the day....like, on that particular day things start shifting towards winter. When I think about that, it makes all the sense in the world that New Year's used to be in fall. People back in the day knew so much more about the earth and it's seasons. Hmm. I just remembered Salem, Massachusettshas a month long Halloween celebration. That's be something to see. Also, they have some of the coolest graveyards. I'm a big fan of graveyards. They're so peaceful. Most people are creeped out by them but...dead people don't reanimate so they should just chill, ya know? Unless they're genuinely afraid of death, then I can understand and be nice to them. I was deathly afraid of...well death (ha, busted syntax :P) when I was little. Then I as I got older, I fell in love with ghost stories and after I started watching Ghost Hunters, my fear of death seems to have vanished. Not so much because I believe in ghosts (no opinion on whether or not there's an afterlife b.t.w., I'll see about that when I die). Well, actually watching that show, I became wayyy less scared of ghosts, or the idea of them, and that has lead to me thinking about, and accepting death. This may seem like a bit of a morbid switch in tone, but c'mon, it's fall dammit the whole season is death themed (so to speak). Things are dying all around you, mainly leaves, but bugs and some animals are going into hibernation where they are effectively dead for a few months. So, I don't mean ta bring you down, I'm just rollin' with the  'theme'.

So to cheer people up....have a happy fall everyone, how 'bout a bonfire on Halloween? 'Cause those are fun, especially if ya' brought some cider with you.....soooo goooddd




HOT SPICED APPLE CIDER 
1/2 gallon apple cider
12 cloves
3 cinnamon sticks
1 c. orange juice
1/2 c. lemon juice
Heat apple cider. Add all ingredients. Allow the mixture to simmer for half hour or more. Serve this in mugs on a chilly night.

Makes 12 servings.

Sounds Yummy! ^____^

Henry the dissapointing dinosaur- Take 2

  • Sep. 1st, 2008 at 7:11 PM

Oh dear. The first version of this was rather shaky in the narrative department (Note to self: write when you don't have a migraine). I took more time with this one, so hopefully it's better. It most likely is not as good as it could be (there are places which could use some definite tweaking) but overall it's much better. Also, typed  it in Notepad this time so that I could just copy and paste anything, in case of any slip ups. But long story short, this should flow better, and I hope you enjoy it.





Henry the disappointing dinosaur




I am a dinosaur and my name is Henry
I was born in September on a Wednesday
to Mr and Mrs George and Annabel Worsly
and life was beautiful up until Thursday


You see, on Oct.5th, 1984
my parents got up and hit the floor
no they were not dancing,
and indeed not prancing
for their old souls were off without even glancing
If life's a bad song, I was singing it's first verse,
for my poor parents couldn't even afford the hearse


Now let pass 14 years of drug, pain, and fear
and living from bottle to bottle of beer
I died alone with a gut full of fear


And now they say on a certain October event,
if you position yourself by a certain air vent
if you listen carefully and you listen true,
you may still hear a poor dinosaur calling to you
sunflowers

If you could pick any TV show that has been off the air to come back for one more season, which show would you pick and why?

Im sad. And very tired my day hasn't been very good, between being tired and my throat feeling a little tight. I was feeling better, I even ate dinner with my family, which is something I set out to do ans was my goal for the week. Too bad it was a horrible dinner. My mom asked me if I'd called a place for a job, and I hadn't, and then she was mad at me and basically made me feel like shit because she kept pointing out everything she thought I was doing wrong. My Dad did too, but he was nicer about it. I like my dad. He's a nice guy and actually understands who I an a bit more than more. He also went through a lot of the same things I have, and is just more understanding and caring towards me.He just wants me to live life, whereas my mom wants me to suddenly become over responsible. She also insulted my friends. Which you don't do, I consider that a low blow. I don't know if she did it on purpose or not, nor do I care. She basically said my friends don't give a shit and are bums, then she started talking about how my friend Arjay 'gave up on' going to a state school to go to OCCC instead. He did that because he didn't want to go to the state school, and if he didn't go to school he would have to move to Florida with his parents, where he really does not want to be. I walked out on the conversation at that point. Which makes me feel a little proud of myself, but I still feel miserable, 'cause my dad is right, I've grown used to living at home and I've been mooching off of my family without really realizing it. Hopefully I can fix that tomorrow. I just can't wait till it's Thursday, and I go see Defiance Ohio in the city.


I'm really sad at the moment, but I'm feeling a little better than I did. I just got done crying, I admit it. It's just so overwhelming, and I don't deal with stress very well, I break down very easily when even slightly stressed.  It's good I cried though, means I still feel emotion, and that's one thing I was worried about losing, because they make up some much of life, and give it all of it's meaning. Right now I'm gonna go draw, maybe paint a little? Then I'm going to bed at an early hour tonight.

Nighty-night all, hope you are having better days than I am. If not, maybe we can all get together and emo somewhere.
