in all honesty i'm not a fan of Miley Cyrus. I find her too pretentious of a person to put any real emotion in the characters she portrays. But i cannot discount the fact that this last song of hers really has some merit. i like the words, but hate how she sang it, especially the video.

watching over the carcass
**written December 21, 2006
it feels surreal.
im looking from above at the mangled pieces, jagged bones, lifeless limbs and bloodied floor. this carcass...this empty and void being used to be me.
this is what happens when you let people close. this is what happens when you become vulnerable. this is what happens when you open yourself up.
this is what happens when you love.
you get judged.you get hurt. you bleed. you get cut. you shed tears. you get avoided. you get discouraged. you get turned down. you get rejected. you feel hate. you feel animosity. you feel discrimanation.
...until all that is left of you is this...a carcass...
im looking at myself now feeling nothing. im drained of it all. in a funny way i feel numb. ironic isnt it, that the people you care for the most are the ones who cut the deepest wounds. and in the darkness while you bleed they cant see you cry. they cant see the way words inflict hurt. the way stares cause pain. they cant see you hurting. and it is in the silence of darkness the cold reality hits.
i dont want to be cynical and bitter. to just close myself up because it means less pain. but sometimes pain has a way of getting to you. taking you to that point where you really dont care anymore. and im close to that point. im close to throwing the towel in. im close to saying "the hell with it".
...because what else have i got to lose..im mangled and broken.

Scars
** written by Me on March 21, 2007
shouts and screams flung in every direction
happiness drowned in the volume of hate
wavering strength in the face of danger
fear etched in every line and crevice
dreams of haunt and despair
i claw and and scratch at something
draw blood and create gorges
clamouring to rid myself of this sin
my life is no longer my own i think
i might come out of this
with battle wounds and tears

Thinking Of You
such a sad song..
Once you've had a taste of perfection
Like an apple hanging from a tree
I picked the ripest one
I still got the seed
You said move on
Where do I go
I guess second best
Is all I will know
Cause when I'm with him
I am thinking of you
Thinking of you
What you would do if
You were the one
Who was spending the night
Oh I wish that I
Was looking into your eyes
You're like an Indian summer
In the middle of winter
Like a hard candy
With a surprise center
How do I get better
Once I've had the best
You said there's
Tons of fish in the water
So the waters I will test
He kissed my lips
I taste your mouth
He pulled me in
I was disgusted with myself
Cause when I'm with him
I am thinking of you
Thinking of you
What you would do if
You were the one
Who was spending the night
Oh I wish that I
Was looking into...
You're the best
And yes I do regret
How I could let myself
Let you go
Now the lesson's learned
I touched it I was burned
Oh I think you should know
Cause when I'm with him
I am thinking of you
Thinking of you
What you would do if
You were the one
Who was spending the night
Oh I wish that I
Was looking into your eyes
Looking into your eyes
Looking into your eyes
Oh won't you walk through
And bust in the door
And take me away
Oh no more mistakes
Cause in your eyes I'd like to stay...
stay....

Imogen Heap
her voice has that haunting quality that seems almost otherwordly. i was browsing for her songs when i realized that she too did a cover for "HALLELUJAH". i downloaded it immediately and let her voice resonate inside the den. it helps me feel better.
That David played and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do you?
It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth, the minor fall, the major lift, the baffled king composing Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelu----jah
Your faith was strong but you needed proof,
She tied you to a kitchen chair, she broke your throne,
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelu----jah
Maybe I have been here before, I know this room;
I've seen your flag on the marble arch, love is not a victory march,
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelu----jah
There was a time you let me know whats really going on below,
Remember when I moved in you; the holy dove was moving too, a
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelu----jah
Maybe there's a God above, and all I ever learned from love
And its not a cry you can hear at night, its not somebody who's seen the light,
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelu--jah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelu---u---jah

thoughts on turning 21
in a few days, 9 to be exact, ill be growing one year older. another number will be added to the two decades i've been on this earth.
On birthdays we celebrate the present. We do not complain about what happened or speculate about what will happen, but we lift someone up and let everyone say: "We love you."
Celebrating a birthday reminds us of the goodness of life, and in this spirit we really need to celebrate people's birthdays every day, by showing gratitude, kindness, forgiveness, gentleness, and affection. These are ways of saying, "It's good that you are alive; it's good that you are walking with me on this earth. Let's be glad and rejoice. This is the day that God has made for us to be and to be together.
- Henry Nouwen

Graduate
last march 28 i finally said good bye, if albeit temporarily who knows, to the life of a student. i graduated in the presence of my peers and special loved ones. in the heat of the summer night, despite wearing an almost floor length toga, the sweat running down my back could in no way dampen the joy of knowing that i've reach the culmination of all my academic efforts.

shard of glass
in close inspection, i found a small shard of glass on my foot. it wasnt at all big, even miniscule in standards. but a foreign object embeded on my skin is something.

Album Cover
it's this FB thingy and just wanted to post what I made.
or click http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Ran
The first random wikipedia article you get is the name of your band.
2 - Go to "Random quotations"
or click http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php
The last four or five words of the very last quote of the page is the title of your first album.
3 - Go to flickr and click on “explore the last seven days”
or click http://www.flickr.com/explore/interestin
Third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.
4 - Use Photoshop or similar to put it all together
5 - Post it to FB with this text in the "caption" and TAG the friends you want to join in. (you can untag yourself if you don't want this photo up).
