one of the best songs of my life

BLIND MELON: NO RAIN

All I can say is that my life is pretty plain
I like watchin' the puddles gather rain
And all I can do is just pour some tea for two
and speak my point of view
But it's not sane, It's not sane

I just want some one to say to me
I'll always be there when you wake
Ya know I'd like to keep my cheeks dry today
So stay with me and I'll have it made

And I don't understand why I sleep all day
And I start to complain that there's no rain
And all I can do is read a book to stay awake
And it rips my life away, but it's a great escape
escape...escape...escape...

All I can say is that my life is pretty plain
ya don't like my point of view
ya think I'm insane
Its not sane...it's not sane.

Selection

maybe it’s not what we see tattooed across the faces of our friends

that makes us realize we aren’t the same.

maybe it’s what we find inside our minds

behind our eyes

not in plain sight for people to stare.

this is one of those many lyrical phrases that creep inside my head.

i hope you enjoy them as much as i do.

just a comment

my inspiration picture as of 18 may 2008: my shoes and the word hey.

i went to see speed racer on may 9th. my group of friends and i had to wait outside for the rest of everyone to arrive. i was walking around when the ground said "hey" to me. i thought it was one of the coolest things i've seen, so i took a picture.

for those who love my shoes as much as i do:

converse. blue stars painted with glow in the dark nail polish on the toes. coloured sharpie on the sides. unique. part of my awesomeness collection that completes me.

passage

tomorrow i will be sixteen years of age for a week. it is terrifying.
where did my life go?
where is yours going?
stop. life. still.

the life of fools

5 may 2008
monday first period

the life of fools

i've become this person
in my mind
in others' eyes
now i can't stand myself

the time i waste is gone
my life is going faster
i'm falling through the cracks
of society's failure

walking stranded
empty
alone
watching the pictures
people
places
pass into space unknown

senses numb
eyes closed
striving toward a hopeless
destination

vanity makes fools
but only fools are vain

Difference, Divergence, With It All

i decided to place the picture of the pepsi can as my "inspiration" not because i need it to live (which i don't in the slightest) but because of the creativity it displays. i wonder who designs the art on the cans. do they know they have non-pepsi-drinking admirers? my guess would be no. some artists are so unappreciated for the beauty they create. i'm not talking about the "misunderstood" group of artists. they make themselves difference on purpose. i'm talking about the people who design the small things. pepsi cans, album covers, make-up ads, two-pocket folders and office supplies, jewelry. sure, these people are paid for what they do. but there is a difference between getting paid and being appreciated.
