It's time for you to fade away,
gone is the night, here comes the day.
With the light you disappear,
and gone with you is what I fear.

There nothing like the way I felt,
no one can match the pain you dealt.
If you could see it through my eyes,
along with mine, your heart would die.

I'll not forget, nor shall I forgive,
the reason I don't want to live.
Not a day goes by, not a second will pass,
that my temper will cool, now at critical mass.

I've gone long enough, I've tried my hand
at maybe letting go and letting slip the sand.
As the hourglass turns I contemplate,
"Was there anything I could do, was I too late?"

But then I wake up and my mind it clears,
along with my eyes, where I wipe the tears.
I can't go back now, it's far too late,
nothing to do now but sit and wait.

My time will come, of that I'm sure.
It's then I'll recieve my answers, my cure,
for this ache in my chest that never let's go
of the memory of you, and that day of woe.

If there's one thing to say, I don't know it yet.
The words they escape me as my palms start to sweat.
My body it tingles with what's built up inside.
I've never let it out, it's the only thing I hide.

So now it's there, on my sleeve to see,
the heart that broke, that's now become weak.
I may never know why, or even hazzard a guess,
at why it's been hidden in the safe of my chest.

They've always been there for me, the friends I call family.
But I couldn't let them know, I couldn't let them see.
I'm just afraid I guess, of losing my face.
The one they rely on, to hold them in place.

But I'll still be the rock, on what I hope they stand.
I've been too much a boy, not enough of a man
to admit that I need them and the help that they give.
It's because of them that I decided to live.

While my eyes they burn, with the fire inside,
I've learned to control what before made me wild.
There's nothing more painful, nothing's hurt me before
like the grief I've lived through, of which I hope there's no more.

I'll miss you till I die, I'll love you ever more.
No one has meant more to me, the rest are a bore
in comparing them to you, that category they don't belong.
I hope you rest in peace, I love you, goodbye Mom.

I haven't typed that many, actually the magic number is two, and my second entry landed into this weeks edition of Burning Questions!  I know it's sort of geeky and lame to be excited about this, but hey, let a guy enjoy himself if it does you no harm, and be glad that at least someone is happy.  I think it's kindof cool.  Now, congratulate me or something.

I don't know about any of the other countries here on GS, but in America, it's APRIL FOOLS DAY!! Just some background info, I love practical jokes and pranks, here's a short (very short) list of the pranks I pulled on my roomates;

1) Put a styrofoam cup filled with ice water on top of the fridge. Now tie a string to it and open the freezer door. Make the string hang down in front of the freezer and shut the door on it. Now wait until someone opens the freezer and sees the string, who will then pull on it out of shear curiosity. Now Laugh!

2) One of my roomates gets up in the middle of the night, EVERY NIGHT, to take a dump. Right after he went to bed I went into his bathroom and wiped vasoline all over the top of his toilet seat.
One really tired guy + really slippery toilet seat = AH-HAHA!

That's only a couple of the things I've done and plan to do today, but for everyone else out there, please remember to have fun, but be safe . . . unless it'll make the joke funnier!

    New Emblem.  Neighborly.  Yeah, I guess that's right.  I like to help out people if they have a problem.  Among my friends I'm known as the "older brother."  Funny thing is, I'm the youngest out of all of them.  That should give you a clue as to what I'm talking about.  Well, I think this emblem comes from the friend requests, so I guess the more I get, the better emblem I shall recieve.  Neighborly . . . I like the sound of that.

New emblem.  Old School.  I like this one.  Reminds me of my very first memory; sitting on my living room floor, staring at the TV, with my NES controller in my hand, laying waste to the scores of moblins and tektites that threatened my peaceful land of Hyrule.

I think I may hold off on posting for a little while, (sorry Lance) my post count just hit 666!  I know everybody hits that mark at some point, but it never occured to me until I hit it and saw it for myself.  Just wanted to comment.  Thank you for reading.

I've been on this site for a long time, over two years now, and the level thing has never really made sense to me or really done anything at all for me.  But it's still kinda cool to watch it go up and feel like I'm part of some game that I'm gradually gaining Exp. Pts. in.  Anyways, I think it's gone up faster the last few weeks than it has in the last two years thanks in large to Lance and the Judging gamers union.  I'm a part of a couple others, but I post in his union more than the others combined mostly becuase the guys there are more fun and the discussions are as well.  Just wanted to say thanks to all in the union and that it's been good so far and I'm sure it will continue to be from here on out.

My roomates and I just got approved for our new apartment and will start moving in on Saturday.  One reason this is good news is we can start having our tournaments again.

These include;

Super Smash Bros. Melee
Halo and Halo 2 (of course)
Mario Kart 64
Star Fox Armada

and a couple others I can't remember right now.  Sometimes we invite people to play, it gets boring just playing against eachother.  Even I get tired of winning sometimes.  So if you live near us send me a message and maybe we'll include you.  Careful, though.  Some matches are for money.  Especially Smash Bros. Melee.  Can't wait to move and get this started.  Later.
