"Are you a god?" they asked.
"No."
"An angel?"
"No."
"A saint?"
"No."
"Then what are you?"
Buddha answered, "I am awake."

the above quote has been stuck in my mind since i first read it many many years ago. i often come back to it in times in which i seem to be struggling with issues of all kinds.

these are my rules, and when the back piece is finished, there will be one symbol per rule down my spine.

1) family first, no questions, no hesitations. without family you are less than nothing. they are your first duty. defend those you can, avenge those you failed.

2) the will is a lie. there are only nonor and responibility. duty is heavier than a...

Praying for visions

Show me the way to forgive you
Allow me to let it go
Allow me to be forgiven
Show me the way to let go

A Perfect Circle is such a great band and side project. It still amazes me that Josh Friese from The Vandals plays drums for them.

basically anything Maynard James Keenan related is great stuff. Can't be snobby about great music like Tool and A Perfect Circle, although at first I was apprehensive about the kind of people that were generally into industrial music back then, but I just overlooked them and industrial is kinda going downhill in popularity and quality.

"things could always be worse: you could have your penis cut off while you were asleep and thrown out the window of a moving vehicle."

Always trouble surrounding me
But I've learned from past mistakes
I've seen true hate, felt real pain
Still there's nothing that can stop me

this week has absolutely fucking sucked so far.

it makes me tired and depressed even to think of it.

the day of the bullet looms large in the foreground.

better to die on my feet than live on my knees.

i think it can be safely and accurately said that the date started well and ended a total fiasco.

let's just say that abject drunkeness on her part, combined with some sort of quest to see how many times she could kidney punch me at the show, did not make for an excellent evening.

so here's the story. hung out and grabbed some food earlier...

well, sometimes you got to switch sports...

I mean, look at Michael Jordan playing baseball or Bo Jackson and football... whatever
volkov:
sheesh.

I don't know how many hits to the kidney I could take without hitting back. seriously.

I couldn't play that game either. I've found I'd rather just wait long periods of time and "date" girls I know I honestly like from previous exposure to them.

Oh yes, and thanks for the compliment, and had you wanted to impress me, dropping him on his head repeatedly might've made me laugh, and I still wouldve been quite impressed wink

So impressed with all you do
Tried so hard to be like you
Flew too high and burnt the wing
Lost my faith in everything

Lick around divine debris
Taste the wealth of hate in me
Shedding skin succumb defeat
This machine is obsolete

Made the choice to go away
Drink the fountain of decay
Tear a hole exquisite red
Fuck the rest and stab...

thanx, am walking around more freely now and am starting a running program next week to see if the ankle can hold, hopefully am not too far away from getting back to "normal" stuff.

Howdy you, been meaning to call but, well, you know me, reclusive at best. Forgot how much I fuckin identified w/ NIN, perhaps because I was happy for awhile, hehe wink So, I have to hang w/ the morose friend and then get my bitch quota filled by the other friend, but we should chill and maybe grab a coffee if you'd like. I've been asleep for the last 30 hours off and on, so I doubt i'll be seeing much sleep for awhile. Jesus, I should just call ya, this is gettin lengthy eeek
