Yep, keeping to my word, here's a few more poems I wrote.

[spoiler]

Lightning shatters the sky.
My way clear for a second.
Then, The all familar darkness
Sweeps back to engulf all.
What brief memory I had
Fades away to nothing.
Replaced with fear and doubt.
once again,
lost again.
No Way Out!

[/spoiler]

[spoiler]

Malignant darkness encroaching
smothering all life
Snuffs the fire inside
A faint, wispy smoke billows
from a broken shell.
Left alone
In this barren forest.
Naked branches cry their litany unto the moon
Begging for forgivness
for unknown transgressions.
Their cries
remain unheard, un-noticed, ignored.

under this waning night,
Something catches my eye.
Misplaced, Lost, Skewed.

[/spoiler]

[spoiler]

Air sucked from my chest
From your perch, High above
Graceful as a dove.
peering down above us all
I saw you fall.

[/spoiler]

[spoiler]

Flesh rended from bone

Throat ripped from its home

Screams muffled by blood.

Decaying leaves take a hue of rust.

Death reaches to grasp.

I awake with a gasp.

[/spoiler]

[spoiler]

Screams, Haunting dreams

Consternation washing o'er me

This forest of lament

I wish to leave

There is no escape, I believe.

Vines: crawling, clutching.

Beasts: Stalking, Devouring.

Me: Screaming, crying.

[/spoiler]

[spoiler]

Twisted Boughs contort unto the clouds
Begging for freedom,
from this chill day.
A gleaming blanket of virgin snow
covers the earth
While it lies... dormant.
Air is chill and dense,
Creating a longing for those days.

Those Days I was with you,
Those nights I held you.
the season, when I used to love you.

[/spoiler]

Haha, I'm back from my mandatory week vacation :P

and tomorrow is July 4th :o Happy independence America 8)

I'm going to a little party tomorrow, and I'm probably going to be bringing my bass. The guys there all play guitar, so I'm apparently a requirement 8)

I was wondering if anyone knew of any good songs, with a somewhat simple bassline that I could learn in a day. I kinda wanna show off :P

On another note, I'm being dragged to see the Transformers movie tonight. :? I've never been too big of a fan of transformers. But a huge group of friends are going, many of which I haven't seen for a long time. So I guess its a neccesary evil :twisted:

I've heard good things about the movie, I'll let you all know what I think of it when I get back :D

So get the suggestions rolling people! Time's a wastin' :lol:

(will post a few poems later)

I'm looking for some sig ideas. I kinda like the one I have now, but even still, it isn't the best thing in the world.

I want a dark-ish themed sig. So any suggestions would be greatly appreciated :D

And don't ask me to make you a sig, because I'm no good at these newfangled photo editing programs.

but if you know of any good tutorial sites, shoot me some links :P

And on a side note:

I went to a friend's wedding today. it was nice and small. and somewhat informal. The reception was again, small, but it was fun. Silly little fact, when the bride threw out her garter (same as a bouquet, but for guys) it arced right to me :o I was like :shock: WTF! I want a recount :P I don't know any girl in their right mind that would marry me, so that tradition is flawed. But I did flirt a little with the camera girl :P;)

When the bride threw out her bouquet, one of the groomsmen jumped and intercepted it :P har har. so it was a running joke that he and I would get married :o He's a cool, funny guy.... but that union would never be consummated.

Okay so that was a story of the misadventures of my life, be on your way.

So, I finally got sick of trying to ask people to make me a sig. so I bucked up and made my own.

Its the first image that i've don in an editor... ever :o

The most difficult part is getting rid of the whitespace around the bass and neck.

Comments, suggestions, riddicule?

Edit:

Here's another Attempt:

I haven't put up any poems in a long time, so i pooled together what i wrote tonight and in classes over the weeks.

and, as always, its garbage, but it gives me % :P

[spoiler]

All through life

treated as a leper

The only one who'd embrace me,

Silence.

I find solice in solitude.

I wander through my days,

Asking a simple question:

Why?

In hopes one would confess all.

Alas, none would,

none will.

Many times I've lost the will,

The will to thrive,

The will to survive.

[/spoiler]

I've always loved poetry that uses forest imagery.

[spoiler]

Wandering through the forest of thought

Rain trickles through the boughs.

Drenching my shivering shoulders.

I find myself lost in doubt.

Eyes lock upon an ebon raven,

as it stares, and escapes into the dark.

Solice from myself

be it, just one day,

is what I crave.

A gentle mist reaches

its tendrils, engulfing everything it touches.

And in a moment of weakness,

Tears fill my eyes,

roll down my chill cheeks.

They are lost forever in this downpour

I wish not to be lost here more.

[/spoiler]

[spoiler]

This name,

A chain round my neck.

There, holding me back as i try to cry out.

This name,

a lead weight round my ankle.

There, a symbol of overwhelming doubt.

This name,

A needle digging into flesh,

Drawing what essence I have left.

[/spoiler]

[spoiler]

Ferrel dance with death,

Everything's a lie.

All you hold dear is lost;

You've nothing left.

You've no reason to go on.

Give in, just like the rest.

Nobody's here.

You've none to call "dear";

but do not fear.

I'm the only one that's near.

Give yourself to me,

You sha'nt resist,

You can't escape this.

Give in,

This is the end.

[/spoiler]

Play my new bass :cry:

But I'm so bogged down with school and work, I can barely make any time to practice on my bass :cry:

Its really disheartening, and my mum is getting a little mad. She paid for half of it. She told me she wants to see me practicing on it every day, or else she's going to pawn it in :cry: I don't want her to pawn in my baby :P

Hopefully tomorrow through Sunday I will be able to practice more on it.

I'm really slow when it comes to working on it, I only know like 20 notes :( And I have a horrible sense of rhythm, so its kinda difficult for me to keep a beat :?

Hey all... I'm back because i might have done something not allowed on the forums *shifty eyes*

Well I got my bass guitar :o It is freakin sweet. I got a good deal too. I bought the bass, an amp and a cable, they threw in a lesson book, a strap and a case :D

So, here are some pictures I took of it:

[spoiler]

[/spoiler]

[spoiler]

[/spoiler]

This one is cool. I don't know how to work the camera's flash (damn newfangled electronics from a year ago :evil: ) so i put my finger over it :P

[spoiler]

[/spoiler]

and in order to get to the cable to connect my camera to my computer, i had to fight this:

[spoiler]

[/spoiler]

I know this is the bass that I want to get. It was the first one that caught my eye, and the more i think about it the more I want it. I just love the look, and what little i did play around with it, it sounds good.It has active pickups, which is awesome.

The strings are closer to the fretboard than some of the other bass' that i tried out, which i think would make it better. I dont know.

and now, bask in the awesomeness 8)

I've been looking into picking up a bass. Any recommendations as to a decent starter?

Problem is... I don't know If I'm left or right handed when I play guitar. I mean, I write and eat left handed. but I throw and hammer and stuff with my right.

I'm pretty sure I'd be a left handed bassist... but I've learned to play guitar hero well right handed :?

My body confuzzles me :cry:

I'm going to my local guitar store to try out different bass' to see what I like.

Also, if anyone who reads this (which is probably nobody :?) What are some good songs to learn on the bass. I've never picked one up in my life, but I really like their sound.

UPDATE:

So I went to a local Music store and looked around. The guy I talked to was really helpful :D

On the wall of Bass' ONE caught my eye. I think it looks sweet. Here's what it looks like:

Its an LTD D4. It'll run me about 400 itself :? They have a package deal for an extra 130 with an amp, cables, strap, and a lesson book/dvd.

The guy I talked to said that it was a really good choice, its not a beginner bass, but its not any top of the line signature bass. Should last me a good while.

SUPER UPDATE:

Here's a little poem I wrote the other night. Nothing special, typical :|

[spoiler]

2:24

Can't sleep

I like Awake in bed

Cant sort these Thoughts

Swimming through my Head.

Words, Letters, Syllables all a jumble.

The fit together, Like pieces of a puzzle.

Sanity begins to crumble

I can't let these words Fall through

I can't let them fade

I have to solve this.

I have to write them down.

Else... they are lost forever.

[/spoiler]  

so don't read it :evil:

I'm pretty swamped from school. I'm taking a full load of work in the summer semester, which is half as long as a normal semester.

Which essentially translates to CRAM SESSION!

I'm writing this here, so that when i come to troll on OT and the 360 forums, i can know what I have to do.

So here goes:

Read Chapter 3 (competing in the global marketplace) in my intro to business book. and complete anything else for that chapter

Read Chapters 2+3 (Installing windows XP Professional, Managing disks and file systems) in my XP class.

Read Chapter 2 (analyzing and recording transactions) in my Accounting class. complete anything else for that chapter.

Do homework for chapter 2 in my math book ~150 problems :( :cry:

I intend upon doing all this tomorrow, seeing as all i have is a little work to do and no class. Looks like i have my work cut out for me :(

And for something that you all come to my blog for, a crappy poem!

[spoiler]

These sheets,

A lead Weight upon my chest.

This pillow,

A vice, tight around my skull.

This bed,

an array of needles, burrowing into flesh.

I like awake, in this iron maiden called a bed,

Thoughts swimming through my head.

Awaiting that tortured state,

called rest
