    Happy Monday!

    I'm so glad I didn't have to work today.  It's been nice just chillin'.  I've been working diligently on my website.  I have to do more, but I'm no webmaster so for the stuff that's up there, I'm making some headway.

    WOOT!

    Hope you all had a relaxing weekend.  I know I sure did!

     

    In other news, Oasis has been banned from playing in China because Noel Gallagher performed at a Free Tibet benefit in 1997.

    Chris Brown and Rihanna are still together?  Ah, a life of domestic abuse...may both their careers plummet into the loo.  I'm no judge, but I saw the picture.  That was enough.

    Faith No More is slated to reunite this year.

    I'm going to see The Faint and Ladytron 4/21 and I'm stoked.

    Got a wedding coming up near Austin. 

    SXSW started today (the film part).

    Greetings from Jackson, MS

    It's been a nice getaway from Houston, good ole Jackson, MS.  I know a ton of people thought I was nuts for even coming here considering Hurricane Gustav, but I regret not one second, as I have enjoyed some of the best fried chicken I could possible gobble up and had the best Lebanese food I've had ever.  Lots of R&R going on this weekend, but I'm anxious to get home to see Patton. 

    Here's to my canceled flight this evening.  More updates tomorrow upon my return to home.

    Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford

    For some reason this movie just seemed to brush by my collective friends who ARE film enthusiasts and not a single one mentioned how wonderful this film was, despite having Brad Pitt and Casey Affleck.  Yes, I have my reservations about both of them, but I can say in earnest that Casey Affleck has surprised me recently, but I must admit, I only possessed these reservations because of his brother.  Brad is a hit-miss actor.  When he's "hot," he is on fire.  You will know when he's in his element and Jesse James is his element. Watch it.  It's long, but freakin' watch it.

    Nuff said.

    Romance and Cigarettes

    add fuel to my fire,
    make love feel passionate,
    make life seem less glub,
    more rebellious
    may that
    be
    the death of me

    my soul is empty
    my heart:
    broken
    & shattered
    and your language confuses me
    you say that you love me
    how can you not trust me?!
    after e v e r y thing that i gave UP FOR YOU?

    money's no object in this case
    desire means so much more to me
    but passion falls not far from me
    and now all i want is reprieve

    I close my eyes and feel sadness

    I feel alone

    I do not live alone
    but I certainly feel alone
    but I might as well, just the same
    it is not the life for me
    this is not the life for me

    The thought of you
    The smell of you
    The sight
    of
    you
    i dilate

    the tears only pause for moments
    but they linger and wait for a trigger

    I hurt sometimes
    I laugh sometimes
    but it's only to hide my pain

    i am mortified
    will i ever feel again?
    so lonely
    so empty
    i rage within
    i hurt within
    i need to find romance and cigarettes

    like comfort food,
    i came to you
    wanting so much to forgive
    but words are like weapons
    and i'm still bleeding inside
    and i want it
    to go...



    ...away.

    Far, far away.
    8888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888

    May I lose myself in music again to free myself from everything.
    I've been the walking wounded for some time and now it is time to return to myself.
    Forgive my departure.

    joy is coming soon.
