I believe in the power of you and me. Not in the power of you, and me,
nor the power of me, and you. I believe in the power of you filling
my gaps while I fill yours. I believe in the power of understanding,
of appreciation, of empathy, honesty and love. I believe in the power
of you and me!
I do not edit these at all. I just type out what I wrote down, which also wasnt edited. This blog is not me showing you (who are you, anyway?) stuff I consider perfectly formed or whatever, its just raw material. I tend to use these later on to make more fully formed things (songs, for example), but this is me sharing my first impression, sketches, and feelings with anyone and everyone.

That which sustains me, cleans me, and keeps me warm.
It has been sold
It gave me life, abundant and pure.
It has been sold
It built our world, and it remains
our foundation.
It has been sold
Now, I've been told that water will soon become the next big thing
To hoard, to fight over, to protect! To defend! To ARMS! For drink!
It has been sold. It has been bottled, and it has been labeled,
shipped and shelved and chosen and sold.

Most people don't notice change until its already accepted as normal.
They reflect, wondering, "how did this happen?". It feels like a tide
you can't fight.

And this is when you play along
And here is where you speak up
Now, THIS is time for helping out
Then another time you step back
This moment is for sincerety
Yet afterwards, you keep it in.
Thats the place for smiling back
Don't try it here, not at this time.

Pick and choose where and when to be which and what or how much and
how real.

Just finished "the perks of being a wallfower". I think this book has shown me how to improve myself. I really want to.

Its tragic that its easier to be negative than positive. its beautiful
that being positive leads you to a nicer place. Its scary that
sincerety makes you vulnerable. Its soothing that sincerety is what
people secretly crave. Its awesome that you know what I mean when I
talked about how I felt. Its funny that I assume you must then come to
the same conclusions as me. Its great that you could make it here, but
its tragic that you are drunk. Its sad that I cant go three days
without talking to you, but I guess its a kind of fulfilling dependancy.

Im sort of overcome by this videoThe piano is the percussion, in a super awesome way :)
Who are the you you are? Which you makes you fell more like yourself?
Does this you make you embarassed and ashamed when you lie in bed and
slide out of this you? Are you envious of one of your yous? Do you try
so hard to become a you that you forget you are full of different
people, all irreplaceably and irrevokeably as you as you will ever be.
Do you ever ask a question wishing it was asked of you? Does "doing
unto others as they would do unto you" even make any sense? Are the
socially functioning people insenciere? Are the outcasts true to
themselves? Are the socially functioning ones enlightened? Are the
outcasts unaware of something monumental? When did the word "please"
stop requiring a question mark! Am I keeping you interested? Will any
of this be answered? Stay tuned!?

How would you introduce yourself to yourself if you and your Self
could meet? People who spend time alone arent alone, really. There's
always someone else inside your head to talk to.

Four chords
Four chords
Four which you gave me
Which you heard.
One more time than before is all it takes
I wanna scream until I sing
And sing until I die
And die until i live
Live until I cannot see
Those damn chords enslave me
And I smile and grin and laugh and explode.

I figured doing Katimavik would help me get to that point where I feel like life sorta "sinks in".
although I cant say for sure, I think im feeling something like this now. I think I know what I want to do. I cant for the life of me figure out what that is specifically, but I think a lot of the mental and emotional aspects of finding your path are working out for me, better than ever before maybe.

GOOD MOOD!
I CAUGHT YOU!
smiles and similes.
laughs for me! laughs for you!
its the kind of happy due to knowledge, not ignorance. a sublime feeling that you get from facing life instead of running from it. Im such a teenager sometimes, my swingy mood. Is it melodrama when you genuinely mean it? Probably BUT STILL.

I would rather help those who want than those who need. Those who need
but do not want do not have the will to change. Those who want but do
not need once did need, but through their own will came to a place
where need haunted them no more. To continue to want at that point is
not selfish; it is merely what comes naturally to those who spend
their lives looking for joy and peace and understanding. A true need
has nothing to do with your will, it is only conceded with your means
and your circumstances. Therefore a true want is not a selfish thing,
in fact to want in this sense is to desire life- to do what you can to
acheive what brings you joy and pease and love and understanding
but do not want do not have the will to change. Those who want but do

When I heard that song
I checked the date
If It was last month
Then how, HOW
Did it reminisce so well
This life, that story?
