headaches and beef jerky dont mix...
well, here i am just chillin in front of the computer with a slight headache eating beef jerky. so wow its been a while since the last time i was on here huh? ive come to realize that i usually say that everytime i post an entry, but then again i hardly post in here anymore. a lot has happened, namely my best friend jimmy enlisting in the army and heading out for basic training tuesday, damn it im gonna miss him. so me and ashley are doing great, we dont get to see each other as much as we want to since shes still in school, we've got different work schedules, and i still dont have my license yet. but on the plus side, on March 21st @ Recher Theatre, i get to see Chimaira, Through The Eyes Of The Dead, and brace yourselves..... Children of Bodom!!! yes thats right, after waiting so long for them to come around again, my patience has finally paid off. you see, i was supposed to see them back in november when they played at 9:30 Club in DC, but my ride had other unbreakable obligations last minute. but this time, i have nothing to worry about, ive got the ticket, ive got the ride, now all i need to do is wait for about a week for the schedule of that week to be put up at work so i can find out whether or not i got off that day. im coming up on my 3rd monthly junction session, meaning after that ive got about 6 more to go, then i can get the charges against me exspunged from my record. aside from the parents lecturing me so much about saving my money and getting my license, my life has been running fairly smoothly. oh, i have a new poem that ive written. what happened was one time i started writing in this notebook some ideas for a poem about ashley, then i lost that notebook, so i decided to start from scratch, the result was Blonde Angel. then about a week later, i found that notebook, and continued that work in progress and finished what i started about 3 hours after finding that notebook. read and enjoy:
Sunshine Through The Dark Side of The Moon
By Chris Yingling
Once upon a time there lived a broken battered soul,
A void was left for many years, a deep and winding hole.
I loved and lost, and lost too much, how could this get much worse?
If I kept falling down this path, I’d wind up in a hearse.
Love’s a war fought viciously, down to the bitter end,
I’ve earned my share of battle scars, and wounds that hardly mend.
There was a time when I came close to picking up the knife,
But then this ray of sunshine brightened up my dreary life.
I’ve wondered to myself “can this be too good to be true?”
Can you really love this fool that stands in front of you?
When my dreams turn to nightmares and my heaven turns to hell,
You’re there to turn it all around, far more than words could tell.
Shadows of my past come back and haunt me to this day,
But now you’re here with your support, those memories fade away.
When darkness comes, you light my life, and guide me hand in hand,
You lift me up and help me through in times I cannot stand.
For far too long I’ve been so blind, but now I finally see,
This love that I’ve been longing for now stands in front of me.
Slumbering so peacefully, I hope to see you soon,
My ray of sunshine piercing through the dark side of the moon.
