why is it always the people that can put me in the best mood can also put me in the worst?
i'll just be content with this good mood for now.
almost end of year 2007 - blue sky over Fair Park : Dallas, Texas
this band is from Houston, Texas : “blue october”
The first born, my heart will call Truly
A God-like boy of the sky
The fog hissed away like a movie
And serpents go home for the night
The thundercloud rain hits the freeway
The clowns put on makeup for show
The nightfall, my skin crawl kind of evening
And how the wind she blows
How the wind she blows
I want you to come closer
Come in closer. Come in closer.
I want you to come in closer
Come in closer. Come in closer.
I want you to come in closer, in closer
Come dancing with devils
Need not to know their names
We'll waltz like an army
For the fear of our pain
Our souls become useless
As the day they were born
In a rusted arm rocking chair
Away from your storm
But still, the truth remains lethal
A lie made by man
Where my shoes become hammers
And my words become sand
Like a sour patch, a wedding batch
Of roses you threw across my floor
In the rusted arm rocking chair
Away from your storm

Found this forlorn angel figurine standing guard over a grave site the other day. It had obviously been here for years, judging by the appearance. The textured outer coating was eroding from the top of the head, revealing a smooth substrate. Only the upper half of the angel was visible; the lower portion consumed by overgrowth. It made me think about how people's grief tends to get locked up in time. The angel was probably placed here soon after the burial, and has remained ever since, enduring the extremes of weather and the passage of time. Likewise the life of the angel placer has moved on, evolved, adapting to life without their loved one. Perhaps their worst moment was the time when they arrived here with the angel, gleaming and bright, fresh out of the box. Their grief slowly dissolved over the years, much the way the angel is dissolving. They see the angel when they visit the grave, and if they're like me, probably cannot bear to remove it because it serves to remind them of how they felt then. This goes way beyond sentimentality. It's like a real connection to the deceased. So the angel remains, as do dozens of others. They are like little lightning rods for sorrow, emotions dulled by time but no less real. I feel physically and mentally depleted after a session photographing these figurines. It's as if I'm tapping into the collective energy. I walk a real fine line here, trying to pay respectful visual homage without exploitation. I'm hoping sensitivity still matters when such things are being judged.
I feel your pulse against the floor
I wish I could have done this through the floor or a bed, instead of the cot...but I lack ps & time...but you get the idea...lol.

GTWL-With the band
FGR- I think I'm a Cylon...clones fit that right?
I'm just a normal boy
That sank when I fell overboard
My ship would leave the country
But I'd rather swim ashore (...)
(...) I want to swim away but don't know how
Sometimes it feels just like I'm falling in the ocean
Let the waves up take me down
Let the hurricane set in motion
Let the rain of what I feel right now... come down
Let the rain come down
(Into the ocean - Blue October)

Inspired by Sound Of Pulling Heaven Down by Blue October
Somewhere, far away from here
I saw stars, stars that I could reach
It was a midnight, a silent twilight
Fell down, beyond the ocean beach
I assemble all the sand that cover wedding beaches
To build a castle so your mom would have a place to stay
Behind the water slide and down the hill where heaven reaches
Land and time is left to float away
So rest assured I have the key to every opening
To every wishing well that's deep enough to dream
I want to show you just how fascinating kissing is
When earth collides with all the space between
I'm reaching farther than I ever have before
Leaving all who broke your heart upon the shore
I may be some sort of crazy
We may be some sort of crazy
But I swear on everything I have and more
So never look behind you, spooky people bring you down
The world is ending there's a party by the bay
I'll wear my suit and tie when I am
I am toasting to the way you put that smile upon my face
Fill up the air balloon and ride with me
Yeah hell is jealous of the rain
Make love like time and space Is ending
While befriending fate's alluring way of putting us to shame
I'm reaching farther than I ever have before
Leaving all who broke your heart upon the shore
I may be some sort of crazy
We may be some sort of crazy
But I swear on everything I have and more
You make the sound of pulling heaven down
You brought the rain's romantic pour
You make the sound
You make the sound
Of pulling heaven down
I'm reaching farther than I ever have before
Leaving all who broke your heart upon the shore
(tired of wasting time)
I may be some sort of crazy
We may be some sort of crazy
But I swear on everything I have and more
Pic taken at Wild North - Windansea Beach
Today
I don't have to fall apart
I don't have to be afraid
I don't have to let the damage
consume me,
My shadow see through me

- A superficial freedom to wander aimlessly here and there, to taste this or that, to make a choice of distractions (in Pascal's sense) is simply a sham. It claims to be a freedom of “choice” when it has evaded the basic task of discovering who it is that chooses. It is not free because it is unwilling to face the risk of self-discovery. -Thomas Merton
I have been obsessed with this song for some reason. Go listen right now. . . or else. . .

So Valentine's Day was the other day. . . I was stuck at work ALL day and ALL night. From about 10:00am to 11:30pm. . . stupid long day, with no breaks. And apparently people forget how to tip properly on holidays. You people all know that I only make $2.15 an hour. . . yeah, so by pay day we all have to PAY the company arrears because of tax and our lunch food. We do not get money on our checks, we get money from the customers and for one table who tips badly, it's like you not getting payed for an hour worth of HARD work. Just think about that next time you go out to eat. I had a guy bring his girl in for V-Day, the check was $127, he left me a $2 tip. . . HOW? WHY? WTF????? I did everything perfect, might as well keep your 2 dollars and buy her a candy bar asshole. The best part of my day was when I got to take my shoes off when I got home. . . I went straight to bed and had server NIGHTMARES for crying out loud. Seriously, following a server around for a week would make a great psych experiment to see how we react to all these things thrown at us. It's really not fun. BLAH!
OH AND!!! My pro account expires in a few days and It sucks! Right when I start getting back into it, it's going to expire. This is a sad sad little girl.
End rant. Sorry haha.

My 365 shots probably won't be very interesting this next week. I'm practically out of my pain pills and won't get a refill until the 10th :( Which sucks because it means I'll be in alot of pain and be going through withdrawals and just feel all around miserable. So I apologise in advance.
I almost forgot! View On White
