everythings all good

so i have been listening to a couple new albums:

Grizzly Bear haa a new album called Veckatimest. it's a pretty awesome psychedelic indie rock. the video for "Ready, Able" makes me feel like i'm on acid. a really well done clay-animation with bursting colors that move simultaneous with the crescendos and decrescendos of the music. although the video itself has nothing to do with the song, you somehow forget that when you hear the singers angelic yet profound voice that puzzle-fits these progressive sounds. to say i love this album is an understatement.

the XX has an self-titled album out. i don't know if i can say this enough but i really like the guy/girl singers. this particular uk trio stuck out to me bc of their powerful sounds and dynamic. although at most points you will not want to dance, this album remains in my rotation for over six weeks. it might be the new sound taking influences from bands like Hot Chip and Portishead. this electro scene is blowing up as we close this decade and i imagine its going to take on new levels as demonstrated by the xx. stand out songs include "crystalized" and "vcr" but don't be fooled, this album is stacked.

Manners is Passion Pit's newest album dropping early this summer. yes i know that they were a big hit this summer but i honestly didnt give them a chance. at first i found the lead singers voice to be annoyingly emo-hipster. then just like what happened to me 10 years ago with Claude from Coheed, i gave him a chance. only to find out i really like the music and hes high pitch voice goes well with the powerful synths and electronic drum effects.

i just realized the time...

Save Now

smile. dreams come true

who am i?

i am a pre-existing entity of love

how much farther can you go?
and is it too late for me?
i was premature in my existence
and i am late in my decisions
but the early bird
catches gonasyphilherpelaids...
...i think id rather be on time.
cross your fingers
hold on tight
im coming to see you.
to tell you, you're sweet
to tell you, you're pretty
to tell you, you're breath-taking
to tell you, you are someone special
and ill look at you
piercing your eyes with mine
causing your insides to boil
like panned-butter
warming your soul
until your skin is flushed
changes from red
to obvious
ill watch you smile
and that makes me smile
changing colors
isn't all i can do for you
we just have questions
of dreams come true
how can you say no
to your heart?
how can your heart
say no to you?
smile.
dreams come true

you're not alone

it's easy to run away. and sometimes i just wanna.
pack a bag.
don't look back. don't say goodbye
just go.
sell my car. hop on the bus.
anywhere.
start a new life. with a new name.
samuel.
would i be happy? will i miss anyone?
maybe.
old habits dies quick. new habits come unnoticed.
so.
what's holding me back? why not take action?
im scared.
..
im scared.
..
im scared.
..
you wanna know a secret?

yeah. me too.

about you

i've written break up poems
and poems about revenge and hate
but i've never written a poem about you.
no. not yet.
not about you.
i have so much time on my hands
sometimes i don't know what to do
so i sit around thinking of you.
yeah its true.
been thinking about you.
its hard to write about someone
you barley know
gotta scroll through the memories
its time to start this show

i was convinced that i made of fool of myself the first time we hung out.

how could i show up drunk-tarded and twack-tastic?!
but i remember you looked fantastic.
the fun we had would never fade
until the night i took the ace of spade
the texts we sent were never more
i let our future go out the door


i drove past you once in a dream
and you told me how you wanted to be clean

since that time we've had our downs and ups
and ups are where we try to stay...
i'm so proud you got your life together
i'm so happy i saw you that day

i believe you are sign sent from above
my sober angel, here to show me love

the lessons we learned
the problems we've faced
we have overcome
we are overcoming
and soon overcame

maybe the point i'm trying to make
is that we didn't have to say much then
and we really don't have to say much now
there is a special connection at stake
so take advantage...
for goodness sake

so now ive written this poem
i wrote this for you.
yes you. this time its all you.

Visions Versus Visionaries

a true visionary can see what it is he
places on a blank canvas
even before he starts.
not me...I go on pure luck.
I go on the knowledge that
whatever is in me, must come out.
Eventually.
So I guess im not a true visionary.
or even artist...
or a musician.
I don't spend too much time on any one thing.
Impatience.

Fuck it,

if its not good enough the first time
it leaves my mind,
it's never gonna be good.
Which is why i must choose my thoughts
Carefully.
I want it to be good.
Fuck it. It will be good.
If its good, I win.
In a battle of visions versus visionaries, who
wins?

st. patricks day

So all day everyone has been making a fuss about St. Patrick's day and I'm here to put an end to this.

St. Patricks day: is an annual feast day which celebrates Saint Patrick (circa AD 385–461), one of the patron saints of Ireland, and is generally celebrated on March 17.

The day is the national holiday of Ireland. It is a bank holiday in Northern Ireland and a public holiday in the Republic of Ireland and Montserrat. In Canada, Great Britain, Australia, the United States, and New Zealand, it is widely celebrated but is not an official holiday.

So all this fuss b/c Irish people drink?

Okay well how about Black History Month?

I mean last month I didn't see any white people running down the street wearing Dashiki's and Jordans! Not once did i go to a bar where they had a special on Heineken and fried chicken wing apps! The bar wasn't decorated once with pictures of President Abraham Lincoln and abolitionist and former slave Frederick Douglass! There were no sing-alongs to classic Negro spirituals!

So why should we conform to the man?!

Well it's simple...

we all want an excuse to get F*CKED UP!!!


This message was not associated with the NAACP and does not express the views of all African Americans...just my black ass!

also another reason black people should celebrate: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nda_OSWeyn8

and because we are so black....the chopped and screwed song/music video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0NYzfokrXE

Arizona

I'm trying so hard to
collect my thoughts
so i can write
what I'm thinking.
But there are so many emotions
running through my head
that one moment
turns into infinity.
Is the heartache or relief?
Is it pain or disbelief?
Why do i feel as if
my insides have been torn
from right under me?
I've been inspired by you
those little things you do,
So how can this be true?
I just got lost in her...Arizona.

I remember the first time we met,
struggling to get my throat wet.
Just so i can taste the kiss
of a stranger.
I knew it then
when i tried to swallow again
I was setting myself up
for danger.
But i was inspired by you.
And now I'm lost in her...Arizona.

She drank soy milk.
With hair curly silk.
And she was thrilled
at the fact that i was older.
Between her youthful sips
she asked if i liked her lips.
You can just guess what i told her.
Arizona.
Oh my...
Arizona.
