Yeah...Glassjaw rockS!!
My band's gonna play this june 9 at ardz in katipunan (actually miriam territory...). I hope we wont screw this up. I'll bring my own equipment this time (like it's easy to bring the parts of a drumset...).
Wow, it's that fast... Two weeks and I'm a senior already. There's going to be CAT, tulong dunong (basically a teach-the-less-fortunate subject kind of thing...it's the jesuit's way of doing things in the ahs...), physics, the acet and upcat, theater, band (battle of the bands !!!!!), fair, crappy teachers, and even more crappy MATH !!!
Actually I ironically can't wait.
Ok, I spent the day doing nothing. I gaped at the ceiling, listened to the pisces iscariot album by the pumpkins, and edited the pleasure box site. Thank God for the rain. Ang Lamig!!! Parang Tagaytay...
Here's a poem I created. Though I wrote it in first person, I'd like to point out that I'm not talking about myself.
Die to Feel
Now I drive the night, to the ironies of peace
The condition, though picturesque, unsettles me
Love is suicide...
The scars which smirk at me still remind me of its pain
I turn off the lights to be able to see clearer
But the pitch black night will not console meÖ
Why do the same old things keep on happening?
Blamed myself for the things I left disregarded
For I lied just to be real, and I died just to feel...
-------------------------------------------------------
emptiness is loneliness, and lonliness is cleanliness
and cleanliness is godliness, and god is empty just like me
intoxicated with the madness, i'm in love with my sadness
bullshit fakers, enchanted kingdoms
the fashion victims chew their charcoal teeth

Here's something from Kurt Cobain's journal:
"Hi, I played snare drum in the school band from grades five to nine. During that time, I didn't bother to read sheet music. I just waited for the geek in the first chair to learn each song and I would simply copy it. It took me five years to realize how rhythmically retarded I was as a drummer. So I sold some of my father's guns to buy myself a six string electric guitar! After about a week's practice, I already knew how to play and that spawned the musical knowledge I needed to come up with the louie-louie chords..."
"I learned that you could play the finger positions of the B chord anywhere on the guitar; I soon found out it was a power chord..."
- Kurt Cobain, my inspiration...rock on!
I admit being a fan of Kurt Cobain. I derive inspiration from him...I'm amused by his melodramatic approach to life, his love for punk rock (though Nirvana was only slightly punk), the genius that he truly is, his inclination to the word fuck (hehehe...), his MUSIC, and most importantly his contribution to the whole music scene, nirvana being the pioneer of grunge during the 90's...
I dedicate this song to someone...
Smashing Pumpkins - Stand Inside Your Love
You and me
Meant to be
Immutable
Impossible
It's destiny
Pure lunacy
Incalculable
Insufferable
But for the last time
You're everything that I want and ask for
You're all that I'd dreamed
Who wouldn't be the one you love
Who wouldn't stand inside your love
Protected and the love of
A pure soul and beautiful you
Don't understand
Don't feel me now
I will breathe
For the both of us
Travel the world
Traverse the skies
Your home is here
Within my heart
And for the first time
I feel as though I am reborn
In my mind
Recast as child and mystic sage
Who wouldn't be the one you love
Who wouldn't stand inside your love
And for the first time
I'm telling you how much I need and bleed for
Your every move and waking sound
In my time
I'll wrap my wire around your heart and your mind
You're mine forever now
Who wouldn't be the one you love and live for
Who wouldn't stand inside your love and die for
Who wouldn't be the one you love
