Bird Song. 3.5.2012.
Well I didn't tell anyone but a bird flew by
Saw what I'd done
He set up a nest outside
And he sang about what I'd become
He sang so loud, he sang so clear
I was afraid all the neighbors would hear
So I invited him in just to reason with him
I promised I wouldn't do it again
But he sang louder and louder inside the house
And now I couldn't get him out
So I trapped him under a cardboard box
Stood on it to make it stop
I picked up the bird and above the din
I said that's the last song you'll ever sing
Held him down broke his neck
Taught him a lesson he wouldn't forget
But in my dreams began to creep
That old familiar
Tweet tweet tweet
I opened my mouth to scream and shout
I waived my arms and flapped about
But I couldn't scream and I couldn't shout
Couldn't scream and I couldn't shout
I opened my mouth to scream and shout
I waived my arms and flapped about
But I couldn't scream and I couldn't shout
The song was coming from my mouth
From my mouth...

Five. San Francisco. California. 2.28.2012.
On 8.12.2005, I had an exhibit at Low Gallery (Version 1.0 of Fecal Face Dot Gallery). I gave away 5 of my printed photos to different artists in the same size and let them do whatever to them. When I got them back, the results were amazing. One of the 5 prints I gave was a self portrait I had done for Porous Walker for his Maybe Magazine's Valentine's Day issue. I had titled it Dimidium (Latin: half). I was pondering tonight and I stumbled upon these 2 from the collection. Perhaps I was feeling the weight of the series of unfortunate events that has taken place as of late, but the piece by Melissa Anderson has always resonated with me.

Polar Bears. 2.12.2012.
Tonight, I was watching Nature's Most Amazing Events. Immediately after watching part one, The Great Melt, I went online to Arctic Home to donate $100 $200 for saving the polar bears. Due to global warming, polar bears are facing extinction at an extremely rapid pace. Polar bears need frozen ice surface to hunt for food. During the arctic summer months, there is less and less frozen ice surface for the polar bears to hunt from, and the arctic summers are also increasing in duration. They either die from starvation or drown in the water. In lieu of any presents this year from you for any holiday, I would rather you make a donation to this cause instead. Coca-Cola is currently matching every dollar donation up to $1 million until 3.15.2012 if you get a product code from a Coca-Cola product. The minimum donation is $10. Please help however much you can.

If the pastures pass through his eyes
Whose journey will rise from grass now covered
with footprints of aimless days now given
Lament as two heads lock eyes staring
so intense in unity that all who look on
would be hard pressed to say which is more high
as one will leave the path of pastures
To insure the man will remain but still
sometimes I wonder what's left upon the plain

Do you belong to what you're hanging on to?
Are you caught in a loop?
What is wrong with you?
You keep making do
Have you given up on hope?
I could be your antidote
Are you lost in a state of anxiety?
Just let it be
Excuse me, please
I'm just so happy I could scream
Adjust your mindset, do the same
All that you lost will be regained
Never ever enough, it's never enough
Is it ever enough, when it's just enough?
If it's never enough, why do we hang up on love?
Enough is enough, never enough
Never ever enough, it's never enough
Is it ever enough, when it's just enough?
If it's never enough, why do we hang up on hope?
Enough is enough, never enough
Pure, we're pure as we're driven
But I know there's only one way to go
So dream, it's just human kindness
If we run and we hide it will find us, there's nowhere to go
Excuse me please
I'm just so happy I could scream
Adjust your mindset, do the same
All that you lost will be regained
Never ever enough, it's never enough
Is it ever enough, when it's just enough?
If it's never enough, why do we hang up on love?
Enough is enough, never enough
Never ever enough, it's never enough
Is it ever enough, when it's just enough?
If it's never enough, why do we hang up on love?
Enough is enough, never enough
I came forth to rest your fear
There to catch your falling tears
Begin and ending no more pretending
Try descending into me
When it comes to say goodbye
Say your final end desire
Well, enough is enough and youre hung up
Feel what you feel, baby
Never ever enough, it's never enough
Is it ever enough, when it's just enough?
If it's never enough, why do we hang up on love?
Enough is enough, never enough

Suffering. San Francisco. California. 1.22.2012.
We are so often the cause of our own misery. We pursue things and people even though we know in our heart of hearts that they cannot make us happy. We imagine that all our problems will be solved if we get a particular job or achieve a certain success - only to find that the things we desired so intensely are not so wonderful after all. The moment we acquire something, we start to worry about losing it. Much of our suffering comes from a thwarted sense of self.

Falling. San Francisco. California. 1.20.2012
I've fallen out of favor and I've fallen from grace
Fallen out of trees and I've fallen on my face
Fallen out of taxis, out of windows too
Fell in your opinion when I fell in love with you
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Sometimes I wish for falling, wish for the release
Wish for falling through the air to give me some relief
Because falling's not the problem, when I'm falling I'm in peace
It's only when I hit the ground it causes all the grief
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Whoa-oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
This is a song for a scribbled-down name
And my love keeps writing again and again
This is a song for a scribbled-down name
And my love keeps writing again and again
And again and again and again and again
And again and again and again and again
And again and again and again and again
And again and again and again and again
I danced myself up, I drunk myself down
Found people to love left people to drown
I'm not scared to jump, I'm not scared to fall
If there was nowhere to land I woudn't be scared at all
At all
At all
Fall
Fall
Sometimes I wish for falling, wish for the release
Wish for falling through the air to give me some relief
Because falling's not the problem, when I'm falling I'm in peace
It's only when I hit the ground it causes all the grief

Cosmic Love. 1.13.2012.
A falling star fell from your heart and landed in my eyes
I screamed aloud, as it tore through them, and now it's left me blind
The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out
You left me in the dark
No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight
In the shadow of your heart
And in the dark, I can hear your heartbeat
I tried to find the sound
But then, it stopped, and I was in the darkness,
So darkness I became
The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out
You left me in the dark
No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight
In the shadow of your heart
I took the stars from my eyes, and then I made a map
And knew that somehow I could find my way back
Then I heard your heart beating, you were in the darkness too
So I stayed in the darkness with you
The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out
You left me in the dark
No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight
In the shadow of your heart
The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out
You left me in the dark
No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight
In the shadow of your heart

Drumming Song. 1.10.2012.
There's a drumming noise inside my head
That starts when you're around
I swear that you could hear it
It makes such an all mighty sound
There's a drumming noise inside my head
That throws me to the ground
I swear that you should hear it
It makes such an all mighty sound
Louder than sirens
Louder than bells
Sweeter than heaven
And hotter than hell
I ran to a tower where the church bells chime
I hoped that they would clear my mind
They left a ringing in my ear
But that drum's still beating loud and clear
Louder than sirens
Louder than bells
Sweeter than heaven
And hotter than hell
Louder than sirens
Louder than bells
Sweeter than heaven
And hotter than hell
Louder than sirens
Louder than bells
Sweeter than heaven
And hotter than hell
As I move my feet towards your body
I can hear this beat it fills my head up
And gets louder and louder
It fills my head up and gets louder and louder
I run to the river and dive straight in
I pray that the water will drown out the din
But as the water fills my mouth
It couldn't wash the echoes out
But as the water fills my mouth
It couldn't wash the echoes out
I swallow the sound and it swallows me whole
Till there's nothing left inside my soul
As empty as that beating drum
But the sound has just begun
As I move my feet towards your body
I can hear this beat it fills my head up
And gets louder and louder
It fills my head up and gets louder and louder
There's a drumming noise inside my head
That starts when you're around
I swear that you could hear it
It makes such an all mighty sound
There's a drumming noise inside my head
That starts when you're around
I swear that you could hear it
It makes such an all mighty sound
Louder than sirens
Louder than bells
Sweeter than heaven
And hotter than hell
Louder than sirens
Louder than bells
Sweeter than heaven
And hotter than hell
As I move my feet towards your body
I can hear this beat it fills my head up
And gets louder and louder
It fills my head up and gets louder and louder
