From The Outside Looking In, As You Can See There's Nothing Sacred Here
I want to live where soul meets body
And let the sun wrap its arms around me
And bathe my skin in water cool and cleansing
And feel, feel what its like to be new
Cause in my head there’s a greyhound station
Where I send my thoughts to far off destinations
So they may have a chance of finding a place
where they’re far more suited than here
I cannot guess what we'll discover
We turn the dirt with our palms cupped like shovels
But I know our filthy hand can wash one another’s
And not one speck will remain
I do believe it’s true
That there are roads left in both of our shoes
If the silence takes you
Then I hope it takes me too
So brown eyes I hold you near
Cause you’re the only song I want to hear
A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere
Deathcab For Cutie: Soul Meets Body
Well it's official now.
Our battalion is set to ship out to New York and Boston sometime in late May to participate in the Memorial Day festivities.
I've just returned from an 11 day leave block of my own choosing to return to Georgia for St. Paddy's Day.
It was I think truly memorable for me, again surrounded by friends and doing something unique and interesting every day I was there.
There was of course St. Paddy's Day where I went to a good party, and partied with old friends and made new ones.
I finally met my myspace friend Lashaundra and her friend Allison where we danced the night away at Club Europe in ATL.
Ran into my childhood friend Dre and was amazed at how far his band Delphi has come since I heard their music in September.
Went to see Deadstar Assembly with Andy, Tiff, and Jess and got to meet the band after the show
Truly a wonderful experience and one that I did not want to end.
Makes me truly realize how sweet the air smells, and the friends I have waiting for me when I return for good.
These secret garden beams
Changed my life, so it seems
A fall breeze blows outside
I don't break stride, my thoughts are warm
And they go deep inside of you
Oh yeah
I would change myself if I could
I'd walk with my people if I could find them
And I'd say that I'm sorry to you
I'm sorry to you
And I don't want to call you
But then I want to call you
'Cuz I don't want to crush you
But I feel like crushing you, and it's true
I took for granted you were with me
I breathe by your looks and you look right through me
Third Eye Blind: Deep Inside Of You
But for now I yet again return to Camp Lejeune NC, a place I refuse to admit where I live.
I headed out around 3AM on Sunday after seeing the wonderful Brittany at the pool hall.
I love the small town feeling.. you can come in and you can trade hugs and high fives with everyone cuz they all know you.
After missing a turn in Wilmington cuz I was getting lost in my music, I corrected myself and got back in an hour before my leave expired.
Although I despise this place I'm not going to let it get to me as it once did, especially after the new memories I made when I went home.
Happiness
More or less
It's just a change in me
Something in my liberty
Oh, my, my
Happiness
Coming and going
I watch you look at me
Watch my fever growing
I know just where I am
But how many corners do I have to turn?
How many times do I have to learn
All the love I have is in my mind?
But I'm a lucky man
With fire in my hands
The Verve: Lucky Man
But back to the fleet going to Boston and NY in May...
I have to prep my dress blues for the occasion
I've been working on it all tonight getting the ribbons aligned and cutting off all the unsightly threads hanging off it.
I want to look my absolute best when I go up there.
I'd like to still mend my frienship back to it's whole with Victor who resides in Brooklyn by that time.
I'll be wearing my dress blues again when I go see Ashley's wedding on the 22nd in Savannah GA.
Unfortunly right now I left my blue trousers in my closet at home, intent on bringing it back after my visit on Easter.
We have an inspection tomorrow and I'd hate to spend the money on a new set of trousers when I already have some.
Love of mine some day you will die
But I'll be close behind
I'll follow you into the dark
No blinding light or tunnels to gates of white
Just our hands clasped so tight
Waiting for the hint of a spark
If heaven and hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the no's on their vacancy signs
If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark
Deathcab For Cutie: I'll Follow You Into The Dark
Along with Chris him and I are still tutoring the new boots(guys) at work and thankfully they're learning quickly.
There's another field op on the 17th of April to Fort Bragg for 10 days that is unavoidable to miss that I also have to prepare for.
I'm anxiously looking foward to my next leave block in August when I'll return to Cali and reunite with all my dear friends.
Sammy Joe, Tara, Kerri, Erin, Steph/Rob(it's their wedding I'm going to!) Carry, and everyone else, I've missed all of u so much.
That was one of the best times of my life when all of you invited me into your homes and I have missed it every day since.
Again it's good to write here again, I'll try to update it more often but I know how that is with me.
I don't expect much comments from pple reading this since I'm never here to write comments on yours
And I truly apologize for that.
Till Then... "Catch You On The Flip Side..."
You are calm and reposed.
It lets your beauty unfold.
Pale white, like the skin stretched over your bones.
Spring keeps you ever close.
You are second hand smoke.
You are so fragile and thin.
Standing trial for your sins.
Holding onto yourself the best you can.
You are the smell before rain.
You are the blood in my veins...
