A Long Week
i worked all this week. today was my only day off for this week. well... yesteday if you want to be technical. sorry for the lack of an update. still on the search for good sesame chicken in SA. i tried Chinese restaurant numero 7 today. no luck. OOOOMMMMGGGG i bought the Titus DVD set today. man that show was fucking hilarious. i haven't found anyone who remembers the show though. that kinda sucks. anyway, i've been watching the DVD's since 8pm. i am on DVD 3 of 6. hopefully i can get through the rest and still wake up for work tomorrow. eh, its ok. i go in at noon. umm... what else... oh i've been playing Gran Turismo 4 alot lately. muy cool. i've been under some stress lately. i haven't been able to get a hold of David and i don't even know if he has started editing the movie yet. the "premiere" will be at Speaker on August 6th. that gives me... *does the math*... 2 weeks to finish shooting, edit and add music. hopefully i can get it too you in time Ernest. its going to be a tight race to the finish. i make no promises. so i am off. here are two pieces i was able to work on this week though. "Silence," is probably more affective when it is heard rather than when it is read. just count to 10 during the *Ten Seconds of Silence* parts. and read it very sadly. lol. k. later.

Silence
*Ten Seconds of Silence*
She screamed until the gun cocked
Pressed against my head
It was then that she knew I was serious
I would die before I lost her again
It was suicide at best
But that was just a dream
Nothing to be read into much
Broken mirrors never
Brought me much bad luck
Just bad karma
Coupled with regret
But I stayed quiet
I remained shrouded in silence
Never bringing up
A word or two
I would die to speak
But if it were up to you
I’d break that vow
I know you wonder
What’s in my head?
What’s sitting on my mind?
Why I don’t criticize?
Or even just advise for that matter?
Why I no longer speak my mind?
Why don’t I let you know how I feel?
It is a fear that prevents me
From shedding these skins
From revealing my within
But it’s for the best
Just let it rest
I suppose
Though
If you really must know
If you really want the truth then…
*Ten Seconds of Silence*
But that’s just my opinion.

What She Is
Well I’ll say
She belongs in picture frames
On my walls
But Polaroids will do
Maybe if she comes my way
I can be in the picture too
Arms wrapped around
But the problem is
That she’s just too…
Perfect
She’s talking to him again
That’s just my luck
For her to remain
Evermore the mystery
A shadow on the street
No body to the dark form
What a shame
That she’s just too…
Amazing
She’s coming my way
Is my hair ok
I never cared before
But now it’s different
I must aim to impress
Be properly dressed
Even still there’s no argument
That she’s just too…
Fantastic
I got a glance
A look my way
Eye contact
Of the first degree
She may have walked on
But I know that...
Still there’s no denying it
That she’s just too…
Beautiful for me.
