Allegory of Sin

Here we go again!

I should write about this......

All this machinery making modern music
Can still be open-hearted.
Not so coldly charted
It's really just a question of your honesty, yeah,
Your honesty.
One likes to believe in the freedom of music,
But glittering prizes and endless compromises
Shatter the illusion of integrity.

The definition of integrity is as follows...

integrity

n 1: an unreduced or unbroken completeness or totality [syn: unity, wholeness] 2: moral soundness

I apologize profoundly for speaking of music, but recently many things have hurt me. I have noticed groups of certain people that are searching for something different. They carry a rebellious attitude that was started by our good friends rock and roll. Why do people search through the depths of the libraries of sound for that someting new that they can claim they heard first. Why do some people claim music as life, but when it comes to talking about it they can't listen to the truth that there favorite band steals more melodies than fucking p diddy. Why do hipsters sit around and kill the life out of everyone and everything. Just because there not happy with themselves doesn't mean they have to bring everyone else down with them. I love music. I critisize music just as much as every musician or fan. I play with as much soul that GOD wills me to put forth into my instrument. I am upset because im losing faith in something that I have loved for so long. I am losing faith in the kids that all used to be so vibrant and so into being there own person. It just seems that I can't sleep at night because there is a loud dance beat in my ears that comes full circle around again and again. What is it next guys disco you set the trend. Why don't you guys find something that has never been done before preferably something that doesnt sound like fucking NOISE. What we need is someting that will never happen again because of a loss of integrity in music.

I am not saying that I am perfect because I am not you may see me as a hypocrite. I keep trying my best to be a better person and be the bigger person. Maybe I am because I am aware of what is going on. Feel free to comment. And I bet you guys don't know who sings those lyrics.

" living is easy with eyes closed misunderstanding all you see, its getting hard to be someone but it all works out that doesnt matter much to me"

School starts.... I see a lot less friends. Now about the only thing that I can talk to is my fucking text books... I have so much work that I barely talk to my girlfriend, and I practically live with her. Its kinda funny when you actually start to care about doing well in school. It sheds a new light on your whole life, it is really amazing how much you learn, and how much the things you learn incourage you to suceed in everything you do. I sat at my music business forum the other day and caught a glimpse of the past 8 years of my life. I spend sooo much time contemplating the things I should do, that I never end up doing them. I learned to act now and think later. If you think about it, its a pretty cool thing..... I also just found out that two people whom I love to watch play guitar no longer smoke pot....... CRaZy, so not everyone is living with there eyes half shut.

I was out the other day watching ellipsis jam there 4 new songs, I have come to the conclusion that those guys are like super dedicated to the MUSIC. Obviously they have a really big show coming up soon with incubus, but that is besides the point, those guys work very hard to be the best they can possibly be. I admire that and would love to have the ambition that ellipsis has.

Sometimes when you start a band it seems all to simple and exciting. I think we have hit the point in lakeview where Paul and I have realized that we have to work. It sucks because I don't really think that some of the people in the band really understand that in order to have fun, we need to practice as much as possible, and everyone needs to be a part of the writing process. Practice shouldn't be a task it should be a fun/creative work enviroment in which everyone is subject to open criticism. I wouldn't be in a band if i hated going to practice. Being in a band is not just a ticket to a ride it involves making compromises, working hard, and being ARTISTIC for the lack of a better word. In complete honesty if I was not as interested in playing music or didnt care about it as much as the other people in my group and had a bad attitude about practicing it would be pointless for me to play. Because I would be posing a threat to the main goal of the group THE MUSIC. THE MUSIC is the part that I love the most! It is obviously not the money because we dont get anything its obviously not to be a rock star and it is definetely not just because my friends like doing it. Producing great material requires dedicated people, people with creative ambition. I would love to see that!.... one day!

"the thought that form inside my brain
dont always seem to entertain
cus when I tell my company
they think theres something wrong with me

YOU DONT KNoW ME LIKE YOU THINK YOU DO
YOU CANT UNDERSTAND ME AND ITS TRUE

im getting older day by day
aint got time to get to everything
hold on tight enjoy the ride
LIFE IS YOURS SO LIVE IT WISELY"

ITs comforting to know that someone still has my back! Even when it has to be in some song i used to listen to when I was very young. I like hearing good news i wish my friends would tell me good news so maybe I could share some of mine!

Once said, always said.
I will hold the past over your head.
I'll speak my mind whenever i feel slighted.
I am hellbent on extracting all of my revenge.
So take heart, sweetheart, or I will take it from you.

We slip concealed back to the keep.
Concede to do the work for free.
We prey as wolves among the sheep and slit the neck of soldiers while they sleep.

Leaving!

Everybody is leaving from this town and from me.
They've got the burning flame, they sure achieve their aim.
You know that's tough for me to see.
Oh, how I wish that I could do the same as them and go.
Just pack my bags and good-bye, get out fast or fade away real slow.

What you see is what you get right here, where a change is nowhere near.
What you see is what you get from me. In this duckpond, leave me be.

I pretend my life is perfect like the faces on TV.
Yeah, that's the only way to face another day, try to deny the misery.
But those are the ways of looney's and like a clown, yeah, I do act
No matter where I could be or would like to go, I'm stuck here. That's a fact.

I'm too weak I'm down on my knees. Too feeble for something new.
Feels like there's nothing I can do.
Keep on laughing 'bout me, keep on doing your own,
But someday I will be that one. Be that one,
yeah, someday I will be that one

good old millencolin.....

Josh is gone.. just a phone call away. I'm gonna miss that dude a lot. God made brothers to fight with to learn from and to look up to..... and to have a ton of fun... josh is all of that and more... I wish him the best of luck!

So the never ending fight between my parents and I has started up again. It is somehow always about the same things. Playing music.... My mom said that "my guitar was just some stupid toy" Seriously I almost wanted to cry. She thought I was stupid for wanting to be a philosophy major and she said that if I really loved it I would want to be in music business and I said do you see this..... this guitar is playing music it is a little different than the business of music which deals with cut throat corporations and all the consumerism that I despise. I don't care about money .... I just want my guitar and my amp so I can play. It is force that brought me hear and it is soul that will take me there... they just don't respect what I love to do. I want to promise to myself that if my kid wanted to be a employee at wendys because he was happy and he loved it then I will let him... My parents are not truly happy... If being content is happiness.. They are.... for some people it takes more than a fucking shitty old metairie.... I wanna make a change........ Maybe? I want to see the world.... we should all see the world. I have never even seen the pacific...
