No. 1 for 2010

Well, it's been too long since I posted anything. This site's telling me that I haven't posted anything since New Year's Eve, so I figured now would be as good a time as ever to update it. I have been doing quite a bit of writing, drawing, and just all-around creative things lately, mainly to relax and blow off steam from my hectic 12-hours-on-campus days. Here's a taste of some product:

Thanks be to you, trusty Slingshot.
I'm just west of the Dakotas
but too east to be significant.
It's all about location.
Lead to worn-out welcomes with all the strangers.
Faces stay fresh for only a while
soon becoming too familiar.
Thanks be to you, trusty Slingshot.
I'm just west of the Dakotas
and you put me in this exact spot.
No matter what they say,
we all need constant flux.
Changes of pace, changes of scenery.
I know that's where you're going.
Thanks be to you, trusty Slingshot.
I'm just west of the Dakotas,
but too east for appreciation.

This is only the first or second draft, but I have a lot of musings and rants as songs and poems that are completely unfinished, such as this. If I do have any New Year's resolutions, they're to finish said writings...

No Year's Resolutions

It's New Year's Eve
and where am I?
Closer to the start
back at the roots
with less than when I set foot

It's New Year's Eve
and where am I?
Sitting on my couch
Cranking this out
for no one who really gives a damn

It's New Year's Eve
and where am I?
Right here, writing
With no real goals
and a year past that I'd much rather forget

WYMAT 6: Isochronic Tones

Sorry about the long wait all. I've been very busy with school and whatnot. Anyways lets get back on track with these posts!

Thanks to Stumble Upon, I found this interesting website. It has a bunch of tracks on there that are supposed to activate your brain in one way or another through the use of different frequencies and sound wavelengths. If you want to feel something different and have some time on your hands, check it out here at http://www.iso-tones.com/tones.html

It may be a little bit annoying at first, but you'll quickly get past it.

Now go and WYMAT

WYMAT #5: Universe vs. Brain Cell

Holy moley. On this WYMAT, I've found a link between our brain and our universe, well someone else has, but I'm exposing it to those of you who don't know. Here's the picture (click to view full image and read captions):

WYMAT. It's crazy.

Green-Eyed Look

Alright, just to be clear, this is only my first draft of it and it's about no one in particular. I just looked in the mirror, saw that I had green eyes that day, and wrote. It's not really in any particular order. Hope you enjoy:


He's got that smirk upon that face
He's got that green-eyed look
The face of uncontainable craze
That look I never mistook

Comin' in on a drinkin' streak
Been poundin' the past few days
Fixin' to start a fight tonight
With the first who passes his gaze

Too much whiskey, too many pints
Blood slowly thinning
Alcohol now his main source of fuel
Whimsical, drunk, and grinning

Family straight from Ireland
Once a child misbegotten
The past has been ingrained in his mind
His heritage ne'er forgotten

This man is in shambles, his life is a mess
so watch out for his green-eyed look

WYMAT #4: Dimensions

The inspiration for this WYMAT post was shown to me by my little brother, as he likes mind-warping things as well. The videos below explain the concept of dimensions. It may take you a little while to get, so you may need to watch it a couple of times.






Now go and WYMAT!

Bruin

Right to the head
something's a brewin'.
I can feel it in my limbs,
in these old bones.
No need for more caffeine
time to switch up drinks.
All this for naught.
Saw it a long time comin'.
We gotta go soon.
It can't end up well.
Get outta this here hole.
Get back where we came from.
I'm overwhelmed.
It's pressing down.
I can feel it in my limbs,
in these old bones.
Up ahead is daunting,
ready to strike any moment.
Within a blink
we could be gone.
Take cover and pray.
Shield your own head.
It should all wind down soon.
Saw it a long time comin'.
Oh boy was I right!
What a bruin it was!
I felt it in these limbs,
in these old bones.
