It started when we were little kids. Free spirits, but already tormented by our own hands given to us by our parents. We got together and wrote on desks and slept in laundry rooms near snowy mountains and slipped through whatever cracks we could find, minds altered, we didn't falter in portraving hysterical and tragic characters in a smog filled universe. we loved the dirty city and the journeys away from it. We had not yet been or seen our friends, selves, chase tails round and round in downward spirals, leaving trail of irretrievable, vital life juice behind. Still, the brothersbloodcomradespartnerfamilycuzz was impenetrable and we lived inside it laughing with no clothes, and everything experimental 'till death was upon us. In our face, mortality. And lots of things seemed futile then, but love and music can save us, and did, while the giant grey monster grew more poisoned and volatile around us, jaws clamping down and spewing ugly shit around. Nothing is the same. So we keep moving. So we keep moving. Went off and got some hair cuts Lookin wild and got all drugged up Hopped a train into the night Got a ride with a transvestite Two boys in San Francisco Two boys in San Francisco Blasted off in a Bart bathroom Those coppers woke us up The mothersfuckers woke us up Two young brothers on a hover craft Telepathetic love and bellylaughs Storm the stage of Universal Slim shine talk boy go subversal Papa's proud and so he sent us Pounding hearts full and relentless Two boys in London, England Two boys in London, England Climbing out of hostel windows Wearing gear so out but in though Come on kind and do the no no Two young brothers on a hovercraft Telepathics love and belly laughs We went to Fairfax High School Jumped off buildings into their pools We'd sit down and grease at Canters Run like hell they can't catch us Two boys in L.A. proper Two boys in L.A. proper Stealin' anything that we could Gotta sneak into the Starwood Gotta peak into the deep good I remember... 10 years ago in Hollywood We did some good and we did some real bad stuff but the Butthole Surfers said It's better to regret something you did Than something you didn't do We were young And we were looking looki-i-ing looking for that deep kick... Seen 'em come, seen 'em go... (And I feel I'm getting close to you) My friends are so depressed I feel the question of your loneliness Confide...'cause I'll be on your side You know I will, you know I will Ex-girlfriend called me up Alone and desperate on the prison phone They want to give her seven years For being sad I love all of you Hurt by the cold So hard and lonely too When you don't know yourself My friends are so distressed And standing on the brink of emptiness No words I know of to express This emptiness I love all of you Hurt by the cold So hard and lonely too When you don't know yourself Imagine me, taught by tragedy Release is peace I heard a little girl And what she said was something beautiful To give your love no matter what Is what she said I love all of you Hurt by the cold So hard and lonely too

Batman was good, I'd give it a B.

Begins was better, and Ledger is nowhere near Mark Hamill in voice, although his physical character was great.

mister Christian Bale makes a better Bruce Wayne than he does Batman, but he's still a little more cocky than he should be.

and Two-Face? man, that was quick.

none of the movies stand up to the animated series.

better than the older ones for sure, but hype and celebrity deaths really only go so far.

still no adam west cameo?
he must be pretty upset.

my advice, go see Wall-E or go rent Jumper.

respect me as i respect you.

stupid fucking pussies can't ever just say what the fuck they need to say and handle their business.

i've always been a nice guy and sometimes it just sucks when people can't treat you the same way back.
my resolution this year was to rid myself of everything negative and unnecessary..and to keep what was good and positive in my life.

and yet, it's so hard sometimes when people flip-flop into "loserish" tendancies.
it's like..
look,
.if you don't want to hangout with me, just tell me
.if things aren't going so well between us, let's fucking work it out or abandon it, no dilly-dallying
.if there's something you feel the need to say that you know might hurt my feelings, try to be considerate, or keep it the fuck to yourself
.if you find that you get upset by many of my actions or words, let me know, so we can work it the fuck out and move on

i'm so sick of evasive, passive-aggressive, sarcastic, projected feelings, emotions, thoughts, and attitudes.
say what the fuck you need to say, or forever hold your godamn peace.
have some tact, some respect, and some godamn manners.

this is one of those posts that, if you feel i'm referring to you, then that's your thing.
talk to me, let's work it out, or converse, or whatever it is that we need to do to get some resolution.
everyone, all at once.

isn't that what New Years is all about anyway?
should be every fucking day.

.here, in my journal i'm venting and i don't really want to hear anyone's response on such a crude forum as LJ can be. if you know me and want to talk, call me, text me, IM me, whatever..

one of the most important things.. [18 Jul 2008|04:08pm]
[ mood | mellow ]
[ music | Interpol.Who Do You Think? ]

that i've learned over my life is to place different people in different slots in my mind..
for instance,
.some are only good for sex (which usually doesn't last long)
.some are better as friends only
.some for love and life
.some as many different categories

everyone has different friends for different reasons, and it's sort of a catch-22 sometimes..because there are so many cool people out there..but if you try to fit them into a slot that just doesn't fit..it's not gonna work.
like no matter how much you enjoy hanging with a friend, if he or she isn't feelin it, it's gotta be a two-way street. life is mostly.

anyway, the key to social happiness for me is to figure out where different people work best in your life.
otherwise, it's alot of wasted effort and disappointment.
it doesn't always have to be a big deal.

above all, if you treat people the way you like to be treated..alot of this can be avoided.
respect is paramount, and it's not the easiest thing to find amongst people in today's world.
and some times it's hard to keep it up myself when often, there's so much of a fight against it.

Oh, how I pass the days, you know how much I care
Oh, through the wax and waning, you know I will be there
Oh, at your favorites I know now not to swear

maybe it's dinner? or just a fancy snack?


and that's all i've got people.
i'll be back in florida probably about early September or so..i've gotta make some money here..

[ music | Guster.Amsterdam ]

but as cool as Flickr might be..
i just get a little overwhelmed.
like there's just too many pictures..too much stuff, too many people.

i sit back and think, "wow, is any of this gonna matter someday?"
i have lots of pics of good times and past-things..but alot of them are actual prints, and this whole digital age of "memories" just seems a little insignificant.
looking through pics of my mom back in Spain with her best friend, sister, and my abuela is fantastic..because all of the pictures aren't on a computer screen.

maybe it's hard to see so much going on and not being able to be there..?
i've always been more of a "let's have fun, rather than take pictures of said-fun"..and so, i've seriously taken maybe 7 pictures the whole almost-2 months that i've been in AZ.

it's just not that important.
and what is, is best left in memories, or maybe in just a few photos.
thousands and thousands of "great" photos just say too much..it's like going to the airport, or a restaraunt, or the mall and trying to listen to all of the echo'd conversations at once.
just too much, i can't hear them all, and i can't see them all.

memories are tough to capture.
