DROP IT

Bones in the water
and dust in my lungs
absorbing archaic
like a sponge
the ultimate way
is the way you control
but can you stay
if you detach your soul
bury the present
and squeeze out the past
the ones you endear to never last
chemical burns and the animalistic
Im just another hardline
pseudo statistic

Can you feel this?
I'm dying to feel this
Can you feel this?
I'm dying to feel this

Blood on the paper
and skin on my teeth
trying to commit
to what's beneath
to find the time
is to lose the momentum
you learn the lessons
and immediately forget them
automatic and out of my reach
consult all the waste to find the key
minimal life and the polysillabic
Im just another blank page
push the button, pull the rage

Can you feel this?
I'm dying to feel this
Can you feel this?
I'm dying to feel this

I am all, but what am I
another number
that isn't equal to any of you
I control, but I comply
pick me apart,
then pick up the pieces
I'm uneven

I am the damaged one
all my life and the damage done
I am the damaged one
all my life and the damage done
I am the damaged one
all my life and the damage done
I am the damaged one
all my life and the damage done

Can you feel this
Im dying to feel this
can you feel this
Im dying to feel this
can you feel this
Im dying to feel this
can you feel this
Im dying to feel this
can you feel this

I am all, but what am I
another number
that isn't equal to any of you
I control, but I comply
pick me apart,
then pick up the pieces
I'm uneven

I am all, but what am I
another number
that isn't equal to any of you
I control, but I comply
pick me apart,
then pick up the pieces
I'm uneven

Quotes

2006-11-22T00:46:00.000-05:00

Here's some quotes for y'all.

Against logic there is no armor like ignorance.
Laurence J. Peter (1919 - 1988)

The stupid neither forgive nor forget; the naive forgive and forget; the wise forgive but do not forget.
Thomas Szasz

It is not always the same thing to be a good man and a good citizen.
Aristotle

With a stop light, green means 'go' and yellow means 'slow down'. With a banana, however, it is quite the opposite. Yellow means 'go', green means 'whoa, slow down', and red means 'where the heck did you get that banana?'
Mitch Hedberg

Not Alone

2006-10-17T10:03:00.000-04:00

This is the song Not Alone, by All That Remains, off of the album Fall of Ideals. Enjoy. \m/

No more

No more are the days that I will
Fear for I have found a strength that
None can match and I'll push forward

Never has the blood in my viens
Flowed so fiercely as when i feel this around me
I am whole

I'm not alone
With the touch of your hand
I am whole again

I'm not alone
With the touch of your hand
I am whole again

Now I feel the passion burning
This what drives me further strengthens
My resolve to push me further

(and I believe, that I am not alone)
I'm not alone!

I'm not alone
With the touch of your hand
I am whole again

I'm not alone
With the touch of your hand
I am whole again

No more are the days that I will
Fear for I have found a strength that
None can match and I'll push forward

Now I feel the passion burning
This what drives me further strengthens
My resolve to push me further

I'm not alone (I'm not alone)
With the touch of your hand
I am whole again

I'm not alone (I'm not alone)
With the touch of your hand
I am whole again

(I am whole again)
(I am whole again)

1,000 Shades of Grey

2006-08-05T17:14:00.000-04:00

This is a song that i wrote at camp during a really down period. Enjoy and please comment.

[Chorus]
Alone, surrounded by friends.
Sick, of all of life's bends.
Lost, in spite of the signs.
Done, with life in the lines.

This is such a rat race
I can't take this fast pace
I must save so much face
that i have no hope.

Just straining and striving
but never arriving
It seems like I'm driving
to the hangman's rope.

This picture god's drawing
while i'm stuck here clawing
the prize ahead drawing
while i'm stuck here fast.

I just want some answers
i dont want new cancers
the devil's lie dances
unchecked in my past

surrounded by gloom and
the stench of diseased land
i'm sick of the steel bands
that still hold me down.

i want to see clear sky
i don't want to just die
and watch my friends pass by
as i'm laid to ground.

I still have this one chance
this fire insurance
that saves me from the plans
of despair and greed.

I can't see this godhead,
this savior, this undead.
who beat all the problems
that into graves lead.

i know that he's out ther
but I pull out my hair,
laying my soul bare
as i strain and strive.

I must be content with
to just read and then live
these rules i must live with.
when will he arrive?

This, at the time, fit my mood perfectly. I hope you get some help from it.
Peace.

Every Day is Exactly the Same

2006-07-25T03:25:00.000-04:00

NINE INCH NAILS LYRICS

"Every Day Is Exactly The Same"

I believe I can see the future
Cause I repeat the same routine
I think I used to have a purpose
But then again
That might have been a dream
I think I used to have a voice
Now I never make a sound
I just do what I've been told
I really don't want them to come around

Oh, no

[Chorus:]
Every day is exactly the same
Every day is exactly the same
There is no love here and there is no pain
Every day is exactly the same

I can feel their eyes are watching
In case I lose myself again
Sometimes I think I'm happy here
Sometimes, yet I still pretend
I can't remember how this got started
But I can tell you exactly how it will end

[Chorus]

I'm writing on a little piece of paper
I'm hoping someday you might find
Well I'll hide it behind something
They won't look behind
I'm still inside here
A little bit comes bleeding through
I wish this could have been any other way
But I just don't know, I don't know what else I can do

All I Have, by Haste the Day

2006-07-24T22:18:00.000-04:00

The beauty in your eyes still sustains me
And I know if I were
To spit in your face
You would take me back
You would love me
You would take me back
I know you would love me

If I were
To stab you in the heart
You would bleed for me if it made me happy
If I were to stab you
You would bleed for me

I am nothing that's of worth to you
Take all I have
Though I may never understand it
I won't stop believing
You offer me
Another chance
A new solution
I don't understand it
But I won't stop believing

There is nowhere I would rather be
Than in your arms
You've proven time and again who you are
I continue to run away
But you are right here

You take me back
You are right here
I am nothing that's of worth to you
Take all I have
Though I may never understand it
I won't stop believing
You offer me
Another chance
A new solution
I don't understand it
But I won't stop believing

1,000 Apologies

2006-06-26T23:24:00.000-04:00

Artist: Demon Hunter
Album: The Triptych
Song: One Thousand Apologies

There you stood in disbelief,
trying all you could to see through these lies
And every word that I could brethe,
would find you more inclined to leave, but I tried
And knowing what I've done to you,
with every thought you suffer through
My heart as black as evil can
And everything I could have been,
erased by what I wanted then
I couldn't think a lesser man

(Pre-chorus:)
All the delicate ways
That I deepened our graves
My apology pales

(Chorus:)
Oh, the pain in your eyes
My regrets have never known such sorrow
Oh, the shame that you hide
Resolutions are the same tomorrow

So now I reap what I have sewn, and any rapture I had shown has bled dry
And I walked the streets alone, accepting the pain I'd never known, as you died
Then I hurt myself to see it too, to feel the knife put in you
My heart as broken as my ways
I never should've let it pass, this fall was never meant to last
The reason gone and damage stays

Oh, the pain in your eyes
My regrets have never known such sorrow
Oh, the shame that you hide
Resolutions are the same tomorrow

Way Beyond Empty

2006-06-11T22:57:00.000-04:00

Way Beyond Empty

If I could I surely would
Child ease your pain
But if I could no longer
Would you still know my name?

If I couldn't drain the tears
That pour from these eyes
Would you turn your back on me
Would you wave goodbye?

Or leave me way beyond empty inside
Awaiting my last day to arive
Way beyond empty inside
Awaiting my end to arrive

If I couldn't be the shoulder
Which your head would rest upon
Would you still be waiting
Or would you be gone?
If I couldn't keep the smile
Forever on your face
Would I still be around
Or would I be replaced?

Way beyond empty inside
Awaiting my last day to arive
Way beyond empty inside
Awaiting my end to arrive

Would you promise me
Things they'd never change
Could you promise me
That things they'd stay the same?

If I couldn't clear the clouds
From over your head
Would you keep your word to me
Amongst all the things you said?

Or leave me way beyond empty inside
Awaiting my last day to arive
Way beyond empty inside
Awaiting my last day to arrive
Oh yeah child!

-Zakk Wylde

Heresy #1

2006-06-07T21:49:00.000-04:00

Here's my thought for the day.

Why do most Christians credit God with every little thing that goes right in their life and the Devil for every little bad thing?

It seems that everytime something good happens, no matter what it is, or why it happens, that God gets the glory. Not that this is necessarily a bad thing, but did God really help me get a 95 on my test? Or that I played really well on guitar today? Or that my bowl of cereal in the morning tasted good? I doubt it.

God most certainly does do good things for us, but I dont think that we should be thanking him for every single thing that happens in our day. Maybe it's just me.

I hope I came across as I had hoped.

Thank you for tuning in to...
NATE's HERETICAL THOUGHTS...

tune in next time for more advenures.

Liberate te ex inferis, Where Blood and Fire Bring Rest

2006-05-14T21:23:00.000-04:00

I've been really impressed with this band Zao (pronounced Zay-o). Their albums Liberate te ex Inferis (Free yourself from hell), Where Blood and Fire Bring Rest, and The Funeral of God have been some of the best albums I have ever heard, not even in the metal genre, but including everything.
Do yourselves a favor and get these albums, you will not regret it.

Wonderwall
Today is gonna be the day
That they're gonna throw it back to you
By now you should've somehow
Realized what you gotta do
I don't believe that anybody
Feels the way I do about you now

Backbeat the word was on the street
That the fire in your heart is out
I'm sure you've heard it all before
But you never really had a doubt
I don't believe that anybody feels
The way I do about you now

And all the roads we have to walk along are winding
And all the lights that lead us there are blinding
There are many things that I would
Like to say to you
I don't know how

Because maybe
You're gonna be the one who saves me?
And after all
You're my wonderwall

Today was gonna be the day
But they'll never throw it back to you
By now you should've somehow
Realized what you're not to do
I don't believe that anybody
Feels the way I do
About you now

And all the roads that lead to you were winding
And all the lights that light the way are blinding
There are many things that I would like to say to you
I don't know how

I said maybe
You're gonna be the one who saves me?
And after all
You're my wonderwall

I said maybe
You're gonna be the one who saves me?
And after an
You're my wonderwall

Said maybe
You're gonna be the one that saves me
You're gonna be the one that saves me
You're gonna be the one that saves me

Cool Lines from Movies

2006-03-10T15:22:00.000-05:00

Here are some cool lines I've heard in movies, and some cool quotes in general.

"How true is this?
Just get it over with-
if this is true just let it be."
-Metallica, Ride the Lightning

"Peace isn't merely the absence of conflict, but the presence of justice."
-Harrison Ford, Air Force One

"When I get home people 'll ask me, "Hey Hoot, why do ya do it man? Why? Just some war junkie?" Ya know what I'll say? I won't say a goddamn word. Why? They won't understand. They won't understand why we do it. They won't understand that it's about the men next to you, and that's it. That's all it is."
-Hoot, Black Hawk Down

"I saw my life flash before my eyes! ...It was really boring!"
-Babs, Chicken Run

"Ginger: We die free or we die trying.
Babs: Are those the only choices?"
-Chicken Run

"This is supposed to be a happy occasion. Let's not bicker and argue about who killed who."
-King of Swamp Castle, Monty Python and the Holy Grail

"Listen, strange women lyin' in ponds distributin' swords is no basis for a system of government! Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony!

Oh, but you can't expect to wield supreme executive power just because some watery tart threw a sword at you!

Oh but if I went 'round sayin' I was Emperor, just because some moistened bint lobbed a scimitar at me, they'd put me away!

Help! Help! I'm being repressed! Come see the violence inherent in the system! Violence inherent in the system!"
-Dennis, Monty Python and the Holy Grail

"Much better to be the right hand of the devil than to be in his path."
-Beni, The Mummy

Half Empty/Half Full

2006-02-27T21:18:00.000-05:00

Just had another cool chat with a close friend of mine. Here are my thoughts as of now.

Sometimes it seems as though the glass is half empty. I always got work within a day or two, then school the next morning, then I gotta get up early for jazz band, and college application crap, and work again, then more school, then up early for jazz band, and on...and on...and on... Physics, college crap, work, my dad being...himself, work, school homework, college crap.......sigh* Heck, sometimes the glass is 3/4 empty, and every moment of happiness is counteracted by three moments of dullness/pain/boredom.

Then there are times when the glass is half full. It's a friday, with no work that day, no physics that morning, no jazz band, my storie's going good, I get to perform with the youth band that night, I got band practice the next day, and bowling that night. It can be very good, but there is always that black lining to every silver cloud, always the work/school/etc. lurking around the corner. Even now, I'm always watching the clock, just waiting with some kind of sick anticipation for the next work day, or the next school day, or the next college visit, or whatever.

*sigh* It's times like this when I can get some pretty morbid thoughts. For instance, if I were to die tonight, who would be at my funeral? I cannot see myself going through with anything closesly resembling suicide, but all the same, I would like to know who would be at my funeral, and what would be said about me, and all that jazz.

When all you got to keep is strong, move along, move along, like I know you do.
And even when your hope is gone, move along, move along, just to make it through.

That sums it up right there, folks, to a 't'. Even when everything seems like one huge rat race, all I can do, for my good and the others that know me, is just keep on keeping on, and hope that someday I'll see through the mist of despair, or at least learn to live with all my lights on, to brighten it as much as I can.

Well, I'm off to bed, then I got jazz band in the morning, and then school, and then work.

but hey, at least I get to play guitar, right? and i only have to work four hours, right?

right?........................

right

peace for now

A word to all- my AIM has been acting like a schizophrenic hummingbird on crack lately, so dont be offended if I suddenly log off all at once- it wont be because i hate you, merely that my comp has decided to go on another acid trip.

peace

Humans, gotta luv em

2006-02-05T08:31:00.000-05:00

Hey all.

Dont u just love it when people you thot were great friends suddenly arent any more, for no apparent logical reason?

I will mention no names, but you no who you are.

A person I no who has decided to, rather abruptly, ostracize all his/her friends, and when pressed about it, provides no real reasons other than "It won't work out."
How lame is that!!! At the very least provide a logical, significant reason for why you're driving some of your previously best friends to tears of frustration and to depression.

If the person I'm talking about ever reads this, I have one thing to say. You are deeply hurting some of my closest friends, with no real explanation and a total disregard for their feelings, and there is only one word that can be used to describe your behavior. However, I am a christian and saying such a word would be wrong, so I wont, but know this- if you ever decide to tell people why you are doing this, it had better be a very good reason, or you will have thrown away people (who would have done anything to save the relationship) into the gutter to fend for themselves.

I just lost almost all respect I had for you.

One

2006-02-01T18:19:00.000-05:00

Hey again.
I'm feeling in a deep sort of mood today, so here's another ethical dilemna for you. In the song "One", by Metallica, there is a soldier who lost all of his senses, and all of his limbs, and his face in a land-mine accident. He repeatedly, tapping morse code on his pillow with his head, asks to be killed.
The whole debate is whether or not he should be kept alive or be allowed to die(Terri Schiavo anyone?). He has no chance of recovery or of a better life, and wants to die, so the question is...what would you do if you were the nurse/doctor in charge of him? Would you kill him? or would you keep him alive? its a very serious dilemna.Here are some of the lyrics for the song.

Darkness, imprisoning me
All I see, absolute horror
I cannot live,
I cannot die
Trapped in myself,
Body my holding cell

Landmine has taken my sight,
taken my speech,
taken my hearing
taken my arms
taken my legs
taken my soul,
left me with life in hell....

*ponder*....

2006-01-26T21:51:00.001-05:00

This is my prayer, I hope it rings true for you. Peace

this time what I want is you
there is no one else who can take your place
this time you burn me with your eyes
you see past all the lies
you take it all away-I've seen it all
and it's never enough-
it keeps leaving me needing you

take me away
take me away
I've got nothing left to say
just take me away

I try to make my way to you
but still I feel so lost
I don't know what else I can do
I've seen it alland it's never enough
it keeps leaving me needing you

take me away

take me away

I've got nothing left to say
just take me away

don't give up on me yet
don't forget who I am
I know I'm not there yet
but don't letme stay here alone

this time what I want is you
there is no one else
who can take your place

I've seen enough and it's never enough-
it keeps leaving me needing you

take me away

I've got nothing left to say -just take me away

take me away
take me away

I've got nothing left to say-just take me away

P.S- Here's a link the actual song, performed by Lifehouse at Amsterdam. Enjoy

Yeah, my family finally got our miserable hunk of machinery that we call a computer back, and it actually works now. wOOt!! it's quite cool, to have something work like it should, when it should.

i honestly, other than now, cannot remember a time when everything on the computer has worked like it should like it is now. It's quite an experience.

I hate ill-conieved questions/opinions

2005-12-18T12:56:00.000-05:00

I hate it when people grandly state things that either are flat out wrong, or just stupid, or are not well-thought out. Here are some of them.

1) If mankind evolved from apes, why are there still apes?

1st off, i dont believe in evolution happening, but i hate it when people toss softballs like this up to evolutionists. Even i no the answer this one- that not all creatures of the same species evolve at the same rate/or at the same place in time. They adapt to better fit their surroundings, and not all apes where in the same place at the same place in time. That's like saying, The Porsche 911 is alot better than the '88 plymouth voyager, so why are their still plymout voyagers around? i hope you see how that illustrates how silly that question is.

2) Bush is stupid.

Lol i luv this one, and by love i mean i hate it. Bush is not stupid. I'll admit that he cannot filibuster like clinton, nor is he smartest man in the world, but that by no means makes him stupid. He graduated from Yale, people, one of the top colleges in the world, with a C+ average, i believe. That is very good, because Yale isn't known for being a lax school, by any means. Plus, he has enough sense to know that he isn't good enough, and he needs god to complete him.

3) There's too much bad stuff in the world for me to believe in god.

THis is another doozy of a stupid statement. If you're saying that something is bad, then something is by definition is good. If there is good/bad to judge the whole world, then there is a moral law to say what is good and bad. If ther is a moral law, then there is a moral law giver, which means that there is someone above humanity that dictates what is right/wrong to everyone, which basically says there is a god.

4) Right and wrong are different for everyone.

If right/wrong is different for everyone, then everything is right, and therefore nothing is wrong, which basically means right/wrong is meaningless, and this whole statement is worthless. HOwever, if there is an absolute standard for right/wrong, then we are all judged by it regardless of our opinions, and statements like this do not matter.

5) Everything that happens is God's will.

Now, to begin with, I am a devout christian; i believe the Trinity, the Rapture, etc... BUt i do not believe that god controls every little, tiny detail in every1's lives. Because god would not will the holocaust to happen, nor World War II, nor Hurricane Katrina. I believe he will work in spite of those events to try to draw some good out of them, but he does not will that those thing swill happen. Because those things mean/meant that certain people were driven away from god, or killed prematurely without coming to acceptance of Jesus, etc.. and god is not willing that any should perish.

That's my thots for now, peeps.

Peace

It's Proven!!!

This is a song by Staind, and it fits my mood perfectly now. Here goes.....

Your words to me just a whisper

Your face is so unclear

I try to pay attention

Your words just disappear

'Cause its always raining in my head

Forget all the things I should have said

So I speak to you in riddles because

My words get in my way.

I smoke thewhole thing to my head and feel it wash away

'cause i can't take anymoreof this, I want to come apart.

or dig myself a little hole insideyour precious heart

'Cause its always raining in my head

Forget all the things I should have said

I am nothing more than a little boy inside

That cries out for attention

yet I always try to hide

'Cause I talk to you like children,

Though I don't know how I feel

But I know I'll do the right thing

If the right thing is revealed

'Cause its always raining in my head

Forget all the things I should have said

This basically sums up my mood to a t, right now. Just amazing.

Super Bowl 2!!!!!

2005-11-05T20:14:00.000-05:00

Hey all of my adoring public, this is the n8 dawg, returning again with an account of the Super Bowl, last nigh and this morning in PRovidence. Here's the shed-jewel(lol english pronounciation of schedule)
1) showed up at the church at 5. Had to go back home to get permission slips from the madre.
2) leave for providence- me, corky, butch, the aztec, and three random little people in my dad's miserable excuse for a van. : ) it was amazing the whole ride up- listened to "haste the day", good stuff, good stuff, if a little hard core.
3) arrive in providence -Jessie(the aztec) starts counting the number of black people we see on the way to the civic center. O.....wow......
4) reach the dunk, and wait outside for like half an hour before going in, reasons unknown.
5) go inside, get tickets, etc...go up to our seats. PRetty decent- not the nosebleed section, but decently high up.
6) hockey game starts and ends-providence wins,4-1. WOOT!!!
7) ACtual super bowl starts- I catch a thrown tennis ball that was thrown into the crowd and i get to exchange it for a really cool hat, which got lost later that night, by some loser(not me) at the gym. But anyway.....
8) The team for our section in the stadium(Yellow), wins a bunch of competitions, including one that required us to throw kickballs at the other teams, as they tried to build a tower of boxes. Wat fun!! it was really cool.
9) We see nathan gentile and his sis there, as well as Bonnie from Jess' sisters' boyfriends church- she's really cool. Got one of my hugs for the night. Then the whole event wrapped up, and we headed out to the parking garage to go to bowling. On the way there, a girl named Lexie informed me that im her best friend, which was kinda weird. But she's cool, and we hung out for the rest of the night, her and her friend Becca, who ended up bowling the last couple games with my group.
The rest of the tale to come, never fear. Peace

My Life (Or lack thereof) II

2005-10-03T18:51:00.000-04:00

Just checking in with all my adoring fans out there. Here's an overview of last week. Monday i had blah all day, meaing school. Tuesday, i had, u guessed it, blah. Wednesday, however, i worked out after school for the first time in a year, which almost killed me (not really), then i had fencing, which is always fun. I got to try on and purchase knickers, which make the wearer an immediate chick magnet. Really? no. But they do look cool, and they accent ur calves, which can be a good thing. :) Th
Thursday was awesome as well, becuase i had worship band practice, and Amanda came over early and we got to jam on the gee-tar, which was fun. MHC, thats all i have to say. Then Tabitha came over(no nathan this week) and we had our practice, which went really well. The next day, Friday, was even better, becuase i had a good day of skool, then i got to got to youth, and practice with the whole youth band. Then we went upstairs and had youth; that night was board games, so i played RISK with the jacked mexican(jesse gamba), tayloy mcburnay, and his brother austin. Then the youth threw an old, broken-down chair off a balcony onto the pavement 20 feet below, which was fun. Then the youth band played, and we sounded great, and the audience was clapping and singing and all that. After that we had a little prayer sesion for everybody, then we had one escpecially for the girls. It went well. Despues,( after in spanish), the youth band played Awesome God, which is my favorite worship song ever, and i got to solo! WOOT! Then i went home.
On saturday, i had to ref soccer games, two to be exact(an under-8 and an under-10), then i got to play the last 4 minutes of my actual game, during which i scored twice and an assisst. woot. Then i went my sister's soccer game with Tabitha, Jess, Kim, Kat, Michelle, Piper-michelle's daughter, and Rita, and one of kat's friends. MIchelle, Kat, and Rita are peeps from my church. MY sister lost by the way, but it was hella tight just being there with friends. THen mark, Kim's bf, came and we left for walmart. After shopping there for stuff, we went to mcdonalds, and had our cholesterol for the month. It was fun.
THen i went home.

My Youth Band

2005-09-30T17:24:00.000-04:00

Hey all this is the N8. Just got some comments about the youth band that i play in. For those of u who dont no wat it is, its a group of teenagers like myself who get together every week and practice, then every couple weeks we play at youth group on friday nights at our church. As of now, it is me on guitar, my sister elsa as a vocalist and pianist, Tabitha Pendleton as a vocalist and pianist, and Nate Abrahams on bass. Its fun to just jam with people, and we get to do so on thursdays of every week, usually, and we just congregate at my house and play and talk from 7-9 ish. Its hella tight, i must say.

SO yeah, if ur in our youth and u have musical talent, please see any one of us and say 'Hey, i've got talent and id like to join youth band!" We'll talk it over with u and decide with haste. and here's a pic of a guitarist for ya- enjoy. its kirk hammett, my hero.

More Life-altering Words

2005-09-29T22:00:00.000-04:00

Viktor, having shaved, burnt his face and ran screaming to his mom, who laughed and slapped him with a porcupine, which was eating parsnips rapidly. Still laughing, mother ran to the fire escape and spat on three rats, who, sadly were blind, but still had six-hundred tails. The rats then were breakdancing on three crackers, but still found 7 mice in the porridge, which upset the eager neighbors. THis notwithstanding, they gave money to shot-putting dwarfs who made cheese that ran screaming into the raging wind. This being accomplished, santa made fake shotguns out of large peices of brick, a toaster strudel, and some string. The shotguns farted; sadly, he attempted to repair them, this failed- quickly the house burned into waffle-crisp cereal. Upon eating this, a cement-eating virus ran amuck inside large homes. The residents fled, into the toasters, where they died, sadly many toads barfed. Ralph, surprisingly, eating a churro at midnight while his grandmother slept. Abruptly, he died.

I was really bored, so here is a pic of some guitar greats. From left to right they are... Joe Satriani, John Petrucci, and Steve Vai. All three are amazing, but the Satriani and Vai are simply phenomenal. This pic was taken during the G3 event, where the great guitarists gather and jam, to the delight of music-lovers everywhere.

Peace for now.

The mysteries of the universe explained, part I

2005-09-27T19:44:00.000-04:00

old ye villain and forsooth against verily queer peeps. yes because throughout history and with many weapons that vanquish the sheep because five rappers slept in a five-star floppy disk that flew into the cheek that made my pants flutter at you fast, which shot back twelve plastic cheese doodles that exploded.

oh!

Then the hairy ears of old elephants and platypuses. electric can-openers opened several cans of squash courts along highway systems which eat cactuses and pastrami. blue-footed gangters fell out of the sky without warning. this squashed any hopes to vanquish dragons, but evil prevailed, lord dazzle, made me cry alot. *yawn* Suddenly, bubbling hot cake batter melted my dazzle.

More secrets to come.

The Sage strikes again(really this time)

2005-09-27T15:08:00.000-04:00

Sorry about the preceding blog, it was a bit of an error. but anyway...
yeah ive got some fresh thots cooked up for u fellas today, so sit back, strap in, and hold on tight.

1) One of the major factors in our defeat in Vietnam was the press constantly bringing down the military. Even north viatnemese pow's admit that they felt confident that they could win because the longer the war dragged on, the more corrosive and degrading the press would be. I think the present situation in Iraq has some parallels with that time, but is hardly a direct corrolation. For one, the press hasn't changed much, but has altered its appearance a great deal.
What once were the long-haired radical leftists are now the suited, doctorate wearing professors and news anchors, who still have the same anti-right wing, anti-religion, anti-war philosophies, 'cept now they can spout at will and reach a wider audience. They have become the system, and therfore can do much more damage to the populace than when they were railing against the war pigs in the 60's and 70's.
2) It is much worse to imprison and subjugate some1's mind than their body. If u control their mind, they will never care or notice their situation, regardless of wat it is. They can be lead anywhere. Keep enough of them sated and bloated on video games and violent movies, cowed with endlessly shouted rhetoric, and blinded by flashes and bursts of soundbytes, the average american wont have to think, or want to, and so will never question the paper-thin lies of the left which can easily be shattered, but most people will never have the will too, they are too content and lazy, kept in stasis, with their iPod's blaring and their video games playing.
3) Now dont misunderstand me, im not against iPods and video games, in fact i'd like a iPod myself, but when one becomes addicted to mass media, and they cannot think for themselves, then it becomes dangerous. An intelligent man/woman will always think thru wat s/he has just heard, and come to their own conclusions, and not say..."Gosh, well Dr. Smith just said evolution's tru, so i must be!! Gee whiz!!" Look at the evidence for ourself, then make a decison.
4) That brings me to another point, evolution. This is one of the most powerful theories ever, and it has helped such wonderful people as Hitler, Margaret Sanger( the founder of planned parenthood) and Lenin justify their regimes. Luckily, hitler is dead and gone, but Lenin and Sanger are still, sadly, very much felt, even today. Evolution basically frees man from any sort of moral systems, because god is dead, or never existed, and therefore wat he said in the bible is worthless, its just a collection of old stories. But heres a couple thots to ask an evolutionist....
a) Where did the material for the Big Bang come from?
b) Why did it explode?
c) Can u show me another example of an explosion producing order?
d) Can u show me a proven example where a genetic mutation has been proven to show an increase in genetic material, which is need for evolution?
e) Even if life was produced, and animals evolved, why are there no transitional fossils for any branch on the tree of life?

THese are just some thots for now- enjoy and plz comment.

peace

The Sage strikes again

2005-09-27T14:42:00.000-04:00

This is a random pic of victor wooten, possibly the best bassist ever. He plays for bella fleck and the flecktones. Weird name, but good band. But do yourself a favor and check him out- he is quite simply amazing.

2005-09-21T17:31:00.000-04:00

Its a walking chicken. 'Nuff said.

More Thoughts from the Sage

2005-09-21T17:21:00.000-04:00

Hey all, its the n8, once again.

Some thoughts for today.

Why were Bush's 'lies' trumpeted across the headlines and he was attacked left right and center, but when Clinton lied, under oath, no one really cared. He's canonized and Bush is criticized.

If Bush had declared martial law and literally forced every1 out of N'awlins(new orleans), he would have been crucified. Yet, now that people r dying, the press is screaming at him for not taking 'appropriate action'. How logical.

Most of the press is glorifying the mayor on new orleans for his grief at the loss of his people, but wat they dont tell u is that he had a fleet of at least 100 school buses that could have been used for evacuation, but they were not implemented. Now those buses r underwater. wow. Thats all i have to say about that.

Why can Bush do nothing right in the eyes of the press? Everything he does is declared stupid, too little, too late, immoral, and he's declared a right-wing fanatic. If u ask me, the press is more fanatical than he is, with their constant hunt for anything resembling a flaw. How dare he have beliefs about God in public. How dare he actually act on his beliefs, and not apologize for them.
If we had a muslim president, any act of faith would be hailed as a triumph for democracy, but from bush, its deporable. How logical.

Just FYI. the phrase 'separation of church and state' isn't in the constitution. It was years later in a letter from jefferson to a friend in France. Its supposed to be freedom for religion, not freedom from religion.

THats my thots for now

peace.

2005-09-19T17:54:00.000-04:00

This is Drizzt(pronounced just as it's spelled, not drizzit) Do'Urden, the main character in the R.A. Salvetore series "The Halfling's Gem", "The Thousand Orcs" , and several others. He's one of the most exciting, best-written characters i have ever read, and i am an avid reader. Please do urself a favor and read any books with Drizzt in it. U'll be glad u did.

My Real Self

2005-09-19T17:47:00.000-04:00

This is me, inside. Its the malevolent creepy guy inside of everyone. This is just the place where he gets to come out and play. Normally he only gets allowed out when no-ones around.

Metallica

2005-09-19T15:59:00.000-04:00

*Cue the scandalized looks and scathing comments* yes, folks, its metal at its best! LOL! jk.

But seriously, metal is often one of the most misrepresented genres today. I will be the first person to admit that some bands that are labeled 'metal' are losers, or r drug-using maniacs, but that doesnt mean that all bands in that group should be painted with the same brush.

Take metallica, for instance, one of the most successfull bands ever. Their BLack ALbum was, if im not mistaken, one of- if not the most- fastest selling albums of all time, and they deserved it.

They have incredible musical talent, a great sense of harmony, and interesting lyrics that actually mean something. But most people, especially christians, when they hear the name metalica, will recoil and shout "Heathen! Unclean! Devil!" then repeat that phrase as u try to talk to them about it. just kidding, but thats close to wat happens inside their heads. They cannot get past the label of metal and therefor never look deeper, and therefor they can never have an honest, inteligent debate about it.

SOme bands deserve this label, and some bands r indeed loco, drug-using maniacs. But that doesnt mean all bands in that genre should be painted with the same brush. Metallica has great music, and lyrics that u can talk about, and think over. Take Master of Puppets, for instance(the title track to one of their earlier cd's). THe song talks over and over about the Master, who corrupts, takes over, and ultimately destroys ur life. It's fairly clear that the song is about drugs, and how they ruin ur life, but ull never hear that in any debate.

OR the song 'One', of their cd "And justice for all". This song is about a war vet sitting in a hospital bed, after having been blown up in war, and losing his limbs and his senses. He sits there and wonders if war as a whole is worth the sacrifices pushed upon him and his generation, which is a sentiment that we all feel at one time. Thats a song u can talk about, with a fellow listener or any1 really.

If u honestly listen to the music with an open mind, then make ur decision from there whether or not to listen to them, i respect that. But when someone comes in with no prior knowledge of the band, except wat they've been told, and pass grand judgements on any music, i get ticked. Seriously ticked.

Thats my thos for now. Plz comment, good or bad.

Peace

Hypothetical questions, if u dont mind

2005-09-18T18:18:00.000-04:00

If a moose was dying, would u shave him?

If u had a chance between being the best scientist in the world or having mad cow disease, wat would it be?

How old is Santa if George can travel 6 feet on a spoon?

more to come, i promise...

My Life (Or lack thereof)

2005-09-18T18:04:00.000-04:00

Hey, me again. My life as of now is kinda meh, i must say. I have school, school, fencing, school, school, band practice, school, school, band/youth, church, soccer/reffing, guitar (Always and forever)... etc.

Kinda melancholy today. Just righted some wrongs in my comp, so thats good, but its still not quite the way i want it. O well, machines have personalities, as i always say.
Tomorrow I have contemporary issues(ROFL, wat a class), spanglish 5(always fun), and death, i mean calculus.

On calculus- we took 6 pages of notes the first day. Thats all i have to say.

On cont. issues- no matter wat the issue, it is ALWAYS, without exception bush's fault. Global warming(disregard that 3rd world countries are producing more than their share of the CO2 in the ozone)- bush's fault.
Katrina- bush's fault- (never mind that the governor gave the people 48 hours to evacuate, or that he had over 100 school buses ready to use to evacuate, and didnt, so they got flooded)
Iraqi terrorists- Bush's fault. Never mind that none of the good, heroic, and encouraging news from Iraq is supressed(censored?) out of the newspapers, like soldiers enduring tremendous hardships, or that oil production is up past wat it was with saddam insane.
But anyway, thats all for now.

On Spanglish- espanol es dios. A mi me gusta mucho, y a mi me gusta hablando espanol. Esto es todo que decire hoy. Vaya con dios.
