        <![CDATA[<p>Ok so from what I remember I was sent to prison for God knows what and I had a choice of working hard labor some place in the deep south or being sent to serve my time at a remote island of mystery. I chose the island naturally.<br />
When me and a boat load of prisoners arrived we were dressed in rags and face paint. Then led to a dirt pit where a large tiger lay chained to the ground. As me and the others walked passed it definitely licked its lips. But not like it was hungry. Like it was liking something off its huge mouth!<br />
So here's when it started to get really weird..haha.<br />
We lined up to dip our right hands into a bowl of blood and then to a second bowl of water where we dipped the same hand.<br />
Like when you enter a catholic church and you tip your hands in the holy water.<br />
I remember washing as much of the blood off my hand as I could.<br />
So then we walked toward the pit where a few trees and bushes didn't quite hide the large striped beast with flashing eyes.<br />
I was pushed three steps toward my fate by a guard when..<br />
My phone rang!<br />
Hah..</p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>This Mid Morning when I wake</p>

<p>The absence of sun, no longer, I ache</p>

<p>Brutally ripped</p>

<p>From a world without noise</p>

<p>One of control, charactor, and poise.</p>

<p>Then a  momentary plea goes out to my brain</p>

<p>Please. Please! Let me sleep again.</p>

<p>Searching for that space below</p>

<p>Through the folds of sheets and pillow.</p>

<p>Hoping to fall once again</p>

<p>Into MY world of make pretend.</p>

<p>Standing here,</p>

<p>As people gather near</p>

<p>Buildings and places with familiar faces</p>

<p>Here I build my town of aces.</p>

<p>Upon my whim they shape and shift</p>

<p>Between my realities desire creates rift</p>

<p>No worries, no thoughts, thought is my life now.</p>

<p>No I never ask why, I never ask how.</p>

<p>Forever whilst in my dream till dawn.</p>

<p>But then it arrives</p>

<p>Alass, you are gone</p>

<p>My sleepy nightengale</p>

<p>Youve been derailed.</p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>My love I see you coming towards</p>

<p>As light skews 'round and frames your face</p>

<p>I never thought Id write a poem</p>

<p>and mean the love described within</p>

<p>and really take it to heart</p>

<p>that if I die tonight</p>

<p>I would want no other life.</p>

<p>Unless you die too my love</p>

<p>and follow me into the dark</p>

<p>then glimpse the light together</p>

<p>and love in another</p>

<p>as two blades of grass</p>

<p>entwinded with each other.</p>

<p>So love</p>

<p>We could be happy</p>

<p>if you went away</p>

<p>but only if </p>

<p>I died tonight.</p>]]>

<p>Making the young man think</p>

<p>that you could be inked</p>

<p>or pierced.</p>

<p>Sending his naive mind</p>

<p>past your intentions</p>

<p>and down the rabbit hole</p>

<p>where he will never really go.</p>

<p>Others come and go</p>

<p>the ones that really cared</p>

<p>and watch their shaking heads</p>

<p>as he nods to every placebo offered</p>

<p>Soon youll walk away</p>

<p>and leave him standing</p>

<p>like a monument once praised</p>

<p>and when your shadow dissapears</p>

<p>he will turn to look at your trail of glory</p>

<p>and be alone.</p>]]>

<p>Okay. So Ive been contemplating why I really enjoy certain horror flicks and can't stand others. This is what Ive come up with, with contribution of endless questions from Howie and others..</p>

<p>Controlled violence as seen in Saw is unstimulating, and just plain gorey..As seen in Day of the dead or 28 days later (I know they were just seeing red) Crazy, insane, rage induced ripping heads off produces that adrenaline rush I seek in life.</p>

<p>Its comes down to what you like and what you do with your free time..Fast cars, good times, bon fires..the carefree mentality. There's also whatever Saw see'ers like to do. Dragged into Saw 3 with a guy I knew that was hardcore and loved inflicting pain on himself..he was also a control freak and selfish. Thats just my tib bit. I wana hear your view!!</p>]]>

</p>]]>
        <![CDATA[<p>Artist and filmmaker Julian Schnabel said "The process is the prize."</p>

<p>This inspired me while reading an article on business strategy.</p>

<p>It came to me that when we make life changing decisions or even ones of short term we always have to have the exit down the hall in sight. This torments us in sticky situations as well as in love and friendships. When we dont take the time to assess our surroundings; the creation of our growing relationships and how we feel about what is going on, it ends sadly and abruptly.</p>

<p>So many things can effect growth and stunt it that both people involed can't understand about the other or the other can't make them see why they're not ready to hop on the train. In such a situation, just let it be and fly at ground level until you get a thumbs up..until then enjoy the sceneary of what two people can create.</p>

<p>This said, a pledge to be patient is in place for my life.</p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>I remember putting on my favorite shirt which was stylish about five years ago</p>]]>
        <![CDATA[<p>I remember putting on my favorite shirt which was stylish about five years ago and checking myself in the mirror about a hundred times before stepping out of my room to greet my guest. My friends Maraide and John, my sister Anna and me and my first boyfriend James were all hangin out together that night. So there we were. Both standing akwardly near each other in the basement of my third house.  It was his first time over my house and I was nervous as a baby duck stepping into the ice cold water for the very first time. I dont remember how the idea of Spin-the-Bottle came up but when everyone got into a circle we just decided to play along..I think I had just said something like I havent had a first kiss yet and possibly showed a sign of breif panic. and right before I sat down he grabbed my hand and pulled me close to give me a quick peck on the lips. It was totally not how I pictured my first..not romantic at all and certainly not as enjoyable as a kiss should be.</p>

<p>If you feel the urge to post your first I wana hear it :-* cause it's probably a funny/interesting story..</p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>In a certain light your scars appear</p>

<p>strewn accross an apathetic soul</p>

<p>If only you could see them.</p>

<p>Maybe some day you'll let me paint your torn skin on you</p>

<p>under the moon light while the wolf howls</p>

<p>and the pain is felt.</p>

<p>Release.</p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>An orphaned branch floats down a ruddy stream</p>

<p>once part of a hierarchy of towering trees nurished by the water below</p>

<p>A kingdom of growth green and lush</p>

<p>stands ruling over every bird and squirrel</p>

<p>standing over every berry and nut</p>

<p>As I lay here motionless</p>

<p>I feel the cold water seep into every chip and crack</p>

<p>The sun peaks out from behind the clouds and warms my face</p>

<p>I, branch am now driftwood</p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>Wading through the river</p>

<p>Carried gently by the ebb and flow</p>

<p>Dark moss will cloud my vision</p>

<p>Entrenched in the folds of my brain</p>

<p>I cry out "No!"</p>

<p>"You were beautiful once"</p>

<p>Said the bullfrog</p>

<p>with one smooth green hand held</p>

<p>as he plunged into the water</p>]]>
