A bad cold clubbed me a few days ago and I started a cocktail of echnacea (spelling? oh well), golden-seal, vitamin c, zinc, rum, alkanized coca leaves, trance music, and irony to counteract it. So far this elixir is working, my only symptom is a sore throat that makes my voice sound like George Burns.
A friend from high school is back in town and wants me to come into his tattoo shop to get some work done. I do not have any tattoos at this time, something always seems to arise to take away my time or money when I have plans to get one. I do have a a tongue piercing that a pot-bellied biker named "Butch" did many years ago in celebration of my 18th birthday. How about you?
This friend spells his name as Airik. Airik is one of those people who does whatever pops into their head in each moment with absolutely no thought to the consequences. He is the only person to have ever stolen a girlfriend from me. Since then I have stolen plenty but not been on the receiving end of such action. Little things like that build walls in your mind that you never let people cross again.
The girl he stole was Oddra, who was my first kiss. Oddra owned a million candles. Oddra looked like Claire Danes. Oddra wore bright non-matching clothes but pulled them off. Oddra now lives in Chicago and acts in zombie movies. Chicago is a city like a cold old lover full of rudeness and jazz. One day I will see the city again, or the girl.
Sickness always makes me nostalgic. I am off for my next dose of medicine. In honor of scratchy cold voices I leave you with a video by a poster boy for them, the incomparable Tom Waits -
I am at work and can't view the video right now, but I'll check it out later though. I'm suppose to be going to chicago next weekend.. there is a boy there who thinks he's in love with me and is always nagging me to come visit, why the hell not? I haven't seen him in 5 years and I love Chicago. I was also sick over the holiday weekend and it kicked my ass sunday night-to the point of almost going to the hospital, but I showed it whos boss. I hope you feel better soon. <3 I have 2 tattoos... one on my back/shoulder area of a heart w/ wings and a halo (that I drew) with my dad's initials in it and then I have "God grant me Serenity" written across my left wrist. I used to have my tongue, labre, eyebrow, and ears pierced.. but I took everything out between '05 and '08
ryc: I appreciate your words. I feel like there is no 'better' with what I know. The comprehension of life that I have has stolen the magic that comes with ignorance. I used to want things for myself that no longer apply.. I have absolutely nothing here, as of right now, that I want to obtain for myself..i don't want to go to college, I don't want to get married, I don't want to have children, I don't have the same fun when I go out with friends. It's not that I'm depressed.. I just really don't give a damn for any of it. The only thing I care for is knowledge of anything outside of what's in front of me... but whats the point of that? What's the point of being put on earth only to skip over the earth experience to obtain knowledge outside of it? *shrugs*
Here's a list of bands that I discovered that perform music that is similar to this:
Asking Alexandria
Lost Eden
Enter Shikari
Timecry
Helia
One Morning Left
Dying Diva
Crossfaith
Dead By April
and if you're up for the ULTIMATE musical challenge: Look up an Art Metal band called Devil Doll. I promise, you've never heard anything else like it before.
