That Night

Reliving the same events night after night,
I'm wishing that I could blind my insight,
Considering wrongs and considering right,
Mysterious songs are playing tonight.

Light after light gets flashed in my eyes,
Flying in the skies, the ashes do rise,
Burning the body of lies you have lain
Bandages wiped off don't cover the stain.

Blaming the pain on the dumb and the lame,
Going insane, I'm waiting for rain,
My brain races through all the events of that night,
It's plain in my mind I should turn off the light.

BK

I just saw the new Burger King commercial and they called a chicken nugget their "new handheld BK snacker"

BK Snacker.

BK.

You know who coined that abbreviation?

Dane Cook.  Way back, talking about "the BK Lounge..."

And that joke became so culturally impregnated that Burger King is actually using the familiar term in their commercials.

Like... Whoa...

Scream

I'M THE BEST YOU'VE EVER SEEN
NO ONE BETTER ON THE SCENE
WATCH ME LIKE YOUR FAVORITE SCENE
CAN'T BELIEVE JUST WHAT YOU'RE SEEIN'
SEE ME ON THE MOVIE SCREEN, YOU CAN WATCH ME BLOW IT UP
YOU CAN WATCH ME TRIP ON DRUGS
YOU CAN WATCH ME FALL IN LOVE
YOU CAN WATCH IT ALL PLAY OUT OF ME
WHEN I CRAWL, CRY AND POUT AND SCREAM
MY UTTERED SQUEEKS ARE A-MOUNTING
TO PICK UP SPEED AND BREAK DOWN THESE
MOUNTAINS WHO WOULD STAND SO TALL
AND PROUD IN ALL THE MIDST OF HELL
WE'LL SEE HOW WELL THEY DON'T CRUMBLE
WHEN MY VOICE HITS SKIES AND RUMBLES
THUNDEROUS WORDS ARE JUST CURSES FROM WITHIN MY LIVING COFFIN
ALL THE RAGE ENCAGED IN PAGES OF THE BOOK I'M LOST IN
FIND ME NOW
FIND ME PLEASE
BEGGING YOU DOWN ON MY KNEES
THE DIRTY DEEDS, I WASH MY MOUTH OUT
FIND ME NOW
FIND ME PLEASE
THESE RHYMES SPILL OUT WITH SO MUCH EASE
THE PROGRESS WE HAVE MADE LEAVES NO DOUBT
FIND ME NOW, I'LL LET THE DOGS OUT
I'LL LET THE WOLVES HOWL
LET THEM HUNT NOW
LET THEM TEAR YOU DOWN
I'LL TEAR OFF ALL YOUR CROWNS
I'LL WEAR OFF ON YOUR CROWDS
I'LL SHRED YOUR TURF WHILE I CROWD SURF
I'LL LIFT YOUR CURSE, TOUCH YOU WITH VERSE
IT'S NOT ABOUT A SINGLE SHOUT
IT'S NOT A LIE, I WON'T DENY
IT'S NOT A THREAT SO PLEASE DON'T FRET
IT'S NOT LIKE THAT SO DON'T BE MAD
IT'S NOT AN OATH,  IT'S JUST THE TRUTH
YOU'RE USELESS WORDS HAVE FED MY MOUTH
OUT WITH IT NOW, SPIT IT OUT
SPILL IT OUT ALL ON THE PAVEMENT
WE'LL SEE HOW YOU TREAT IT SACRED
TREAT IT SPECIAL
TREAT IT CLEAN
YOU SEE NOW JUST WHAT I MEAN
FREAKING GUESS YOU'LL BLOW SOME STEAM
KEEP IT SPECIAL
KEEP IT CLEAN
IF NOT THEN IT WILL BE OBSCENE
THINGS ARE NOT ALWAYS HOW THEY SEEM
DISCUSSING OUT THE WORDS I FLING

miscarriage

miserable metaphors must mingle,
like high single guys around,
the one lonely whore

pitiful clever scores of jingles,
strike my feeble life's new found,
love's unholy chore

bored holes blood touch drowns blue mic,
means no insight sees,
those cuz your's never hit my soul

poor souls discuss gowns tonight,
sing tones midnight scene,
though abhorred ever with high toll

some thoughts

I'm too lazy to fall in love.  I'd rather just fall asleep and dream about it.

You can't find love.  So don't look for it, fight for it, or pine for it.  You can't buy it, so don't even bother.  Just live your life, walk your path, and fall into it.

If you don't believe anyone, then you won't be deceived.
And if you don't deceive anyone, you should be believed.

Mistaking your identity for someone worth my time,
This poem might be about you, but you're only worth one line.

White lies
Black lies
Buzzing flies on heart, die.
Truth proof the loose noose.
Tighten rope 'round lyin' throat.
Choke, cough, wheeze, hack.
Close off.  Meet Black.
Queer fear smears here.
Bloody note, funny quote.
Quick fit of reminisce.
Feet dangled.  Head angled, feeling shameful, hung so low.
Go in the room.  Scream at the scene.
Know it too soon.  Crying a stream.
What did it mean?  Why did it happen?
Hints we can glean, but still can't imagine.
Saddened, flattened, poppin' asprin.
Hope to cope with loss of folk.

My friend attempted suicide yesterday -.-  Why oh why do they try to die?  Stupid guys, just do it right.
I walked in on the noose tied to his ceiling fan.  I said, "WTF is wrong with you, Man?"
Took the noose down.  Checked him into a hospital.  He'll be back on monday.
Shit's gay.

Gem

Since you're not here, let me leave you with this Gem.
This Gem is different.
This Gem is intense.
It will keep you in suspence with it's simple elegence.
It's the kind that changes your mind and makes you happy for life!
It comes at a great price; so rare and hard to find.
But this Gem is so special, and shaping it takes great time.
That's why you speak inrhyme when describing a Gem of this kind.
But this Gem is not yours.  It's not had to be had.
You should love it anyways.  And be glad to be glad.
It doesn't belong to you, it belongs to the land,
Adored in museums, and loved by all man.
This Gem is so different.
It's special.
It Can.
It Will.  Send thrills, and shudder the sand.
It's great and it's the greatest, and so easy to understand.
Partly because it just makes sense, and partly because there's a greater hand.
Because this Gem was so special, and It changed your mind.
Learned to share.  And be kind.
Love all of Man-kind.
Enjoy simple rhymes.
Give love in all kinds.
Quit changing your minds.
And do what is right.
Life is alright.
Things are not bad.
You're really just glad,
Cuz you found this...
Gem
