The Boxer

I really wasn't going to download it
I was just going to wait until it released
but after hearing the live version of
"Everything You Wanted"



I cracked...
With that being said
After being skeptical about the outcome of the album
And Kele going solo
I must say I love this album

The only way I can describe the album is

The Psychodelicness of the music from the 60's

Mixed with the Disco music from the 70's

Throw the fearlessness of the 80's music

A little house music / the jams from the 90's that I grew up on

And finally the sounds of the future

And you get...

The Boxer

(By the way)

I'm STILL buying the album

Today In Class

We talked about...

Gerald Ford


And
Shirley Temple & "Bojangles"

LOVELESS

Prologue
When the war of the beasts brings about the world's end
The goddess descends from the sky
Wings of light and dark spread afar
She guides us to bliss, her gift everlasting
~
Act I
Infinite in mystery is the gift of the goddess
We seek it thus, and take to the sky
Ripples form on the water's surface
The wandering soul knows no rest
~
Act II
There is no hate, only joy
For you are beloved by the goddess
Hero of the dawn, Healer of worlds
Dreams of the morrow hath the shattered soul
Pride is lost
Wings stripped away, the end is nigh
~
Act III
My friend, do you fly away now?
To a world that abhors you and I?
All that awaits you is a somber morrow
No matter where the winds may blow
My friend, your desire
Is the bringer of life, the gift of the goddess
Even if the morrow is barren of promises
Nothing shall forestall my return
~
Act IV
My friend, the fates are cruel
There are no dreams, no honor remains
The arrow has left the bow of the goddess
My soul, corrupted by vengeance
Hath endured torment, to find the end of the journey
In my own salvation
And your eternal slumber
Legend shall speak
Of sacrifice at world's end
The wind sails over the water's surface
Quietly, but surely
~
Act V
Even if the morrow is barren of promises
Nothing shall forestall my return
To become the dew that quenches the land
To spare the sands, the seas, the skies
I offer thee this silent sacrifice

Confusion

Awake

Still sore from working out Saturday

Should be doing my essay on the Armenian Genocide

(Considering it's due tomorrow)

But...

Instead I find myself trying to make sense of my thoughts

It's just really weird

How I can feel a certain way

And a simple phone call can turn all my

Emotions and feelings around

I'm nowhere near sad

Just confused

Get It Girl

All Of Me

I've still never heard a song with as much emotion as this

On so many different levels, I can relate to this song

Timeless classic in my book

Unspoken Thoughts

Being reluctant can be exciting
The fear of just doing something
-
I didn’t expect those feelings to return when I saw you there
-
Blueprints are useless
-
I accepted something that I already knew

After being ambushed by
Mixed emotions, alcohol and a curious fascination
I’ve come to accept this cruel theory
-
Just stop, please. I can’t bare to hear anymore

All I Ever Had

Absolutely love this song

Someone To Love

One of my favorite character's ever
Ramza Beoulve



Ramza is indeed one of the most tragic characters ever
He loses his best friend
Loses his entre family
Was forced to kill his two brothers
Disgraced by society
Branded a heretic by the church
Persecuted by everyone
His heroic actions in which saved the world cost him his life
And even in death, his name remains in the pages of history as a heretic and blasphemer

I honestly think his death was more tragic than Aeris' (from Final Fantasy VII)
He's done so much for the world
Only to be shunned and looked down upon
Everyone can relate
To do so much for someone
Not because you expect something in return
Rather because your heart and mind is telling you to

I Need To Buy : a PSP

I remember wanting a Playstation Portable when I first heard about it

I even put the $50 down to reserve it at my local gamestop

Back then I didn't have a job so I didn't have the other $200 needed to actually buy it

Instead, I brought Midnight Club 3

5 years and 5 jobs later and I still have yet to buy one

It seems I always spend my money on other vices

Agenda

Alone in the dark

Top three reasons I don't have a girlfriend
"Drum roll please"

3. I personally don't want to make the time for one
Especially with school, work and all my hobbies

2. I don't fall for every girl I talk to
I'm not going to waste my time if I know nothing is there

And the number one reason...
1. I'd rather spend MY money on MYself

Typical me

Losing Out

While browsing online today I came arcoss her...
Manohara Odelia Pinot



While she seems like another beautiful face
She is actually a Princess of American and Indonesian decent

"She was a socialite and model who married into royalty
But she says life with her prince was no fairy tale
She claims he abused and raped her and held her captive
Until her dramatic escape in Singapore"

Where is Sora when you need him?
I guess power leads people to believe they can do whatever the fuck they want
It also makes me wonder does an average joe like me
Have a shot at a woman like that...

Another Day, Another Dollar

Time

It's all about progress

Identity

Drowning in a sea of emotions

Reaching new depths

I've embraced the silence as if nothing was wrong

A voyage into your eyes

I never know what I shall find

A voyage into the city

I never know who I shall be

Inspired by this song

Yesterday's Gone

I woke up today feeling refreshed

This weekend my thoughts were heavy

Those feelings have withdrawn for the time being

I'm sure they will arise again sooner than later

When they do... I will be ready

I never take my brief moments of happiness for granted

Are you in that mood yet?

My thoughts are my only fear

Usually nothing is ever really wrong with me (At least anything monumental)

By thinking with simple logic, I can easily get over my thoughts

When they do enter a state of confusion

But as of yesterday, I seen something

...Something that took me to a place I did not want to venture to

A place in my mind where my thoughts have the upper hand

This is when I become filled with rage

All my new friends that met me after 2008 have never seen me truly angry

I guess I have alcohol and peaceful music for that

It's almost like a power up to even the playing field

It washes my thoughts away until I cool down and can think at a logical state

This really isn't like me... this feeling

I didn't want to be this way

I was forced to be the way I am

I wanted to be delicate

Everytime Is The Last Time

A lot of thoughts run through my mind while listening to this
One of the most peaceful tunes I've heard in a while
It has an awkward sense of hope
Almost as if everything is going to be okay
One can only dream
