six flags baghdad!

be grateful for such a wonderful weekend

that was the refrain chanted repeatedly in my head as i soaked every last drop of it from the spongy spring air. the result of which were two works which i had the pleasure of penning earlier today. one of which is politically motivated, something which doesn’t normally surface in my work. be sure to email me if you have any questions or comments about it. the other is a realisation of things which come and go, and the evolution of our dreams; how they survive when parts of them die, by re-rooting and regrowing with sprouts of a different colour. read, respectively:

don’t turn away

that’s all for now! i’ll be back later…

listening to: some old bag on the oscars drag on about something; yadda yadda…

are you a single note symphonic pervert?

i ought to be flogged for my disobedience to the schedule of updating the past few days…seems there has been so much else going on. i do have an offering for the public who reads this in an attempt to compensate for the shortcomings…2–count ’em–two finished poems/lyrics, and one bonus unfinished piece. hooray! heh.

i am about to head north for the weekend to visit my parents and any family which may coincidentally be present…i should be back sunday evening sometime. until then…enjoy the new writing, and keep the comments coming, i love hearing from people who come across the site here.

are you

shiny side out

oops..i fell asleep very early last night…not sure what the deal was. ugh. so i apologise for not getting that poem up on time. i’m sure there are thousands of you who couldnt sleep last night with the suspense gnawing and the anticipation rubbing away at the outer skin of your sanity. lol…well so you can get through tonight, here it is…in all it’s alterna-pop glory:

shiny side out

bleed again, my best photo ever

this road construction is going to be the end of people out here…which ironically is the opposite of what they’re working toward. i am not personally affected much, aside from being prevented to leave the house. to add insult to the injury of carving up the road like a mangled animal beneath a lawn mower, a pile which rivals the girth of most people’s garages now stands guard at the very foot of our driveway. actually, it more rests ON the feet of our driveway, like a sleeping dog and its master. unfortunately we dont have much control over this pet. and the culdesac is now better described as a crater, and little fluorescent (vests) men with sun-ripened skin emerge from it. nice to see a few folk have problem solved their way out by using our lawn as a shortcut with their vehicles…at least it isn’t like them letting their animals defecate on it; and then mishappening upon it. i’ll post a few pics as soon as they’re ‘developed’…

last night i decided to grill some cobbed corn and barbecue a few chicken breasts. while it was being prepared, i was lounging next to the grill with my notebook and was able to pen another song…which brings yesterday’s grand total to 2. check it out:

bleed again

it’s probably one of the few socially-conscious works in my collection. i won’t elaborate any more on it…but leave a comment if you like!

and as promised, a few more photos:

taken during a downpour of rain saturday. blue skies??
one of the most beautiful photos i’ve ever taken. looks even better in hi-res
a continuation of the last, pulling back
even further out. yes, the tiny white “specks” are individual droplets…

i have more photos of me which were taken yesterday afternoon. i will post them soon!

told off the tow

this morning, after getting about an hour of sleep, my deliriousness caused me to jump out the window, onto the adjoining roof where i was able to finish a song in good measure. let me know what you think…

told it off

every villain

okely dokely neighborinos! i’ve got 2 new song-type lyrics, and although they’re not bad at all, they dont strike me the same way others did (see: candy girl). let me know what you think; please!? i’m dying for some feedback 😉 or even a comparison…maybe i’ll have to set up some kind of poll to see which style people prefer, the old or the new “song” style? anyway, here are the 2 new ones, i will have a third–in progress later tonight, and i am asking for some help; some ideas for finishing or changing it…so get your thinking caps on dammit. hehe

everything and nothing
