Word of mouth.
when the good wishes weren't washed off with the dishes of all the garbage that
got thrown away, blown away, and im stuck still caged with the rage of that of an animal,
like a cannibal for misery it feeds me wealthy, and little did I know that it was unhealthy,
all the effects were stealthy, behind my back were the attacks and all i felt at the time was
bliss. It was ignorance that slain the great warrior and blinded by love in which slain the order,
but the biggest was a head on, for the headstrong, eventhough he had his head wrong, tipped it in and out,
like donations from the devout, and the believers, but im not a sinner, I'm a seer.

"I'm having another episode.."
He sits and he waits for another single message to drop in his lap, like letters from above minus the religion, add more raindrop on heads and out of luck kids. Stuck in my own little downward spiral, like a cracked bottle dripping its tunes away... I'm a mess in every way. I feel like throwing (up) my pills just to take them again, so I can just let myself feel a moment where I dont need another worry. I dont know how poetic I need to be, I'm just a mess times it by 3.

A Clockwork Orange..
Cause I'm a piece of shit, it ain't hard to fuckin' tell
It don't make sense, goin' to heaven wit the goodie-goodies
Dressed in white, I like black Tims and black hoodies
God will probably have me on some real strict shit,
No sleepin' all day, getting shit fit, Hangin' with the goodie-goodies loungin' in paradise
Fuck that shit, I wanna tote guns and shoot dice
All my life I been considered as the worst, Listening to my stepfather sit and curse,
Time after time, makin' my mother feel bad, like shit ain't worth living the life she wish she had, life aint what it was when I was younger, Having a happy home, and food to stop my hunger, wonder if I died, would tears come to her eyes? Forgive me for my shock, but im ready to die, I swear to God I just want to slit my wrists and end this bullshit Throw the Magnum to my head, threaten to pull shit, And squeeze, until the bed's, completely red I'm glad I'm dead, a worthless fuckin' buddah head. The stress is buildin' up, I can't, I can't believe suicide's on my fuckin' mind I want to leave, I swear to God I feel like death is fuckin' callin' me
Naw you wouldn't understand. Listening to a old fucking man, boss my momma around like he's the head honcho, like in his early 30's doing a rampart combo, I swear sometimes I lose my mind all the thoughts build and the stress begins to climb, a stupid ass stepdad-so much for a father, the only reason I'm around is for my brother, my mother, and my friends and family. I need a place to set my brain, without making any ends.

Dear Journal, Mark it 12.15.09
It's been a long time since I've actually decided to write something worth reading
for more than twenty seconds. I think it's probably because, I haven't had the feeling
to write in you as avidly as I used to. Lately I've been drowning myself in a combination of
Tupac & The Beatles. I know, weird combo, but it's been working. One takes me someplace outside
of my own mind, and into a trance, the other brings me back to reality. I've been listening to other artists
as well, but I've been desperately trying to find some older 1500-1600s style orchestration from Italy, similar to Vivaldi. Other than that, I've been trying to hold my head under the water of these music notes and lyrics to leave me without air so I can get rid of the things that bring me discomfort.
I've been on a sort of "I'm just existing" sort of feeling. Ever since my girl left for California, I've been feeling lonely. I've had nightmares recently. I always have nightmares about things going wrong with my relationship when I'm enjoying it so much... It's really hard sometimes to tell if they're real or not when they are happening, but then I wake up and my heart slows back down. I start to feel slightly better.
I'm depressed...
14.12.09
Thug Nature.
I've been depressed ever since my girl has been gone. I've had nightmares of ex-girlfriends, as funny as it sounds, it's not. Sometimes, as much as I dislike my exs I am curious how they are sometimes, how they are doing and how life is for them. Am I weird for that? does that make me a bad boyfriend to my current girl for being curious about how my exs maybe doing?
Fuck my life.

Strawberry Fields
Nothing is real......
Nothing to get hung about,
Strawberry Fields forever"
There's a time where a person loses themselves. In a way I'm confused
about my life in some way. I have a recording stammering in my head,
also known as a broken record. I've been having weird dreams.
Nightmares. And yet they throw my whole day off... What's wrong with
me? "Nothing is real"....

in depth thoughts. I feel in a way...lost. The sad part is, I don't know what I'm searching for.
I've got this small bolt loose in the mechanics of my head. I know it's there somewhere, but I can't find it.
and the last thing I need is any magnets invading my brain to search for it. I feel out of place sometimes.
Like a loneliness when I'm surrounded by people I love & people who love me. I love my girlfriend, and I'm happy that shes in my life. I think what really gets me down is that I only have one life. One life to try and
help people, to try and bring people together, and to learn from others. Its a bit of a burden sometimes... knowing that you only have one life to be able to live and teach before your day comes along and you pass away, into the pages of Life's chronicles.
I wonder how many people I can help and teach before I pass away.
I just want to be someone people can say made an influence on them, a good influence.

"and I smile as I respire"
Don't want to live a life that was comprehensive,"
I grow to love the lyrics and the melody more and more everyday. It's like a re-birth without the "birth". It's like a retox without the "tox" but more of a "new". I'm new in a lot of ways, and I'm also the same in others, change in a good way not bad. I'm feeling more and more like I'm growing mentally, musically, and emotionally. It's different when things really kick into gear for you and you don't expect to grow as fast..but trust me, it happens fast. And I sit here and reminisce on the earlier me(s) and I have to say, I like the most updated version much more than the previous one. There were a lot of bug fixes as you can say...

"Oh, their faces are dancing, they're dancing"
A downward spiral, just a pirouette.
Getting worse until there's nothing left
What good comes of something, when I'm just the ghost of
nothing?"
Sometimes I don't know what to do when I want to make people happy, and I just cant.
Im so scared of so many things going wrong, and its hard because I dont know where to go sometimes...
I dont know how to cry, because I dont have tears...
I dont know how to be vent it any other way than just writing it all out...
Sometimes its the only way I can stay sane...
"a composer but never composed, singing the symphonies of the overdosed... a composer but never composed..."
I just want to be better than what I am...

"I'm Sleeping In A Submarine"
Like a winter storm to the face, numb in all the wrong spots, minus a few
special beats. There there child, put the book down and feel safe,

messages in net bottles traveling across the sea. All hands on deck,
all hands on deck, lets make a smooth escape.

president, but honestly, it is a perfect example of the change through
the generations of how we look at one another. We have progressed, we
have evolved, we have rose up against the differences but acknowledged
them at the same time. For years our presidents have been Caucasian,
and with having an African American president, it has truly
demonstrated that we, for the most part, have opened our eyes to see
that there is no such thing as a negative difference, but that there
is a greater understanding that we may be different, but we are all
humans, most of all, we are all people.

Sugarcane In Easy Morning...
I've been depressed all day today. I feel miserable, like a doll
without a good stitching. I've felt just like mopeing around and
sulking my way into the sheets of my bed. Just to stomach the feeling.
"I missed your skin when you went East."
I'm just tired of being away from you. I can't bring myself to feel an
ambien with the (bi)cycle of atleast 1 week near you.
I miss you..
Letter to myself
Dear Alex,
I know that you are suffering through these episodes of your
obsessions where you feel as if you are unsure of something. But in
all honesty, you dot need to feel that way about the music. People
listen to all sorts of different artists and they have multiple
favorite. Even if you grow to like some other band more than Fall Out
Boy, they will always be great. They will always have made an impact
on your life and they will always be in your heart. No matter if you
don't want them to be, they will always be.
Sincerely,
You.

"You've Changed Things..."
I often question my own sanity. Recently, I've taken a toll on my own mind. I've finally just felt like I needed to take down my title; everything that people saw me as... and decided I needed a change, but with this turn... I can't say that it helped everything. My emotions are running ragged and distant from what I used to have. I am happier in some ways and in others, I'm flat out depressed. When you make something so high in your mind then, just the next day, strip it down to 3 lower levels; its almost like taking the wrecking-ball to a brand new home because you wanted to take out one story of it. It just seems that about everything that has been branded me, not in the way you brand a piece of art; leaving your mark of success & passion that you needed to make it, no, this is the brand that you see on skin. Like a hot coal burning the flesh as you push it further in. That's the type of brand. And I face you now, emotionless, gridlocked and to be echt; buried in the slough of despondence.

"Stop there and let me correct it, I wanna live a life from a new perspective"
I wanna live a life from a new perspective
You come along because I love your face
And I'll admire your expensive taste
And who cares divine intervention
I wanna be praised from a new perspective
But leaving now would be a good idea
So catch me up on getting out of here
I've come to realize tonight that you know, I don't need to have a title of such weight on my back. I don't need to be Alex The Fall Out Boy to prove that I am a diehard fan of Fall Out Boy; I don't need to be crazy obsessed with them to love them, and I don't need to have excessive amounts of posters. I can just like them for what they've given me and always respect them for who they are and what they've done for me.
So tonight is a big step for me... I feel somewhat disappointed that I'm throwing my title off my shoulders, but I don't need to be seen any different.
From now, he's just Alex.
The boy who likes Fall Out Boy.

feel motivated enough to even say "hate". I'm tired of being around a
military stepdad all the time who really has nothing better to do but
to rag and nag on the littlest things that I haven't met my goals
with. I'm depressed, the only good thing that I can say I enjoy is my
grandparents, my girlfriend, some of my friends, Dad (actual dad), and
the people on my moms side and dads side who haven't done anything to
contribute to my depression. I'm frustrated.. I don't have a car, a
liscense or a permit. I haven't even started my driving classes. I am
doing horrible in some of my classes. I feel like a wreck. Correction,
I AM a wreck. If I could just run away with me and my significant
other, I would. I would book it. I can't take this shit anymore.

Thoughts of the Perfection.
Some of us in this world believe in such a "Utopia" as it is known as. For you must understand.
Perfection is in the same equivalence as Extinction. These are both polar opposites. Some of us wish for "world peace", but the possibility of that occurring is very low. Why? Because humanity was not born with the ignorant bliss that we call "perfection". Or at least, the "perfection" that is given in the dictionary.
World Peace is unachievable to the human race. Life in it's self wouldn't allow for the change. Because we have different opinions of our world and what one civilization should do and believe in as well as the next. It is natural for humanity to believe that what they "know" is "right", and it is also natural to deny anything disagreeable or "wrong". We as a whole want to be correct in what we do, but we are not immortal. Not even machines are perfect, because they are HUMAN made. Therefore, making the machine nothing other than "mortal".
How does this tie in with World Peace? Because, we all disagree. If we were perfect, everything we would do or strive for would have been fulfilled and finished. We would have no reason to think other than the next person, we would have no conflict, no feeling, no emotions, no change in expressions, no thought, nothing would separate us from each other. We would look all alike, and that being said, we would be nothing but a shell. We would all look like the same thing. That is "perfection". That is lack of individuality, lack of thought, lack of feeling, lack of want, desire, need, opinion, everything.
Perfection means "lack of humanity". And that is why we cannot have a peaceful world.
Because, humans aren't made peaceful. We are the creators, we are the destroyers.

You can be a Zombie Too.
I seriously have been wondering lately if the idea behind "the zombie" was inspired by people when they get colds. I mean think about it, your tastebuds go wacko, your thinking becomes fuzzy (its just a struggle to even type this), you become moody and irrational, you can't walk right, you feel dizzy and confused, and most of all you feel weak. Your hearing gets intensified and your alertness goes to 0 - all the qualities of being a friggin zombie. So in all seriousness, do you think thats where the idea behind "the zombie" came from? People when they're sick?
(note to self: im probably going to re-read this when I'm better and I dont feel like a walking corpse and I'm going to think im probably batshit crazy)...
I apologize to anyone reading this who thinks I'm just flat out insane, I would glad to agree when I get better haha.

"Within the sound of silence."
Narrow streets of cobblestone,
neath the halo of a street lamp,
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of
A neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence." - Simon & Garfunkel "Sound of Silence"
I've got so much that I could say but I don't really know how to say it.
I'm trying to think of what I could be telling you with all this space for text, but nothing really comes to my mind.
My school work is doing moderate. I could be doing much better, but then I could also be doing much worse. So either way, I'm trying to accomplish one and prevent another.
I've been wondering about all my buddies who went to boot camp around the beginning of Summer. Some of the people who went were really dear to my heart friends. Sure we had our fights, and I lost some trust in them, but honestly, I'm worried about them...
I want to know how they're doing.
I have no clue why but all I have ringing in my head are the lyrics that I remember of that song "Sound Of Silence" by Simon & Garfunkel. "Hello Darkness my old friend. I've come to talk to you again..."
It's almost eerie. Something that gives me a feeling of chill.
I don't understand how it fits but it does.

D.O.S. - Death Of Stress
I'm through with stupid Internet drama. If you really want to know, with my hair and a few insults I feel like I've been detoxed and retouched. So for the record, if you want to throw some stupid shit at me, go ahead, I'm probably going to just take it and break it like a weak broomstick. I'm Alex The Fall Out Boy, you can't strip me of my title/identity.

"If I woke up next to you."
a tree I used to lay beneath kissed teeth stained red, from a sour bottle baby girl with eyes the size of baby worlds."
I love every fault that I have; every single stain in the wood; every single wrong brush in the metal. It makes me "me". I wish that sometimes I could follow this. But sometimes my mind gets so foggy with worrying about stupid things, and things that haven't even happened yet. Part of it is controllable, another part is really hard for me to control. I need a spot where I can sit and count the stars and feel close to the moon, I don't need a sunshine to keep my spirits high; I need is to sit still and tell myself I'm going to be okay, like a little kid laying in his bed wanting all the monsters under it to go away.
I can picture myself hugging the moon goodnight like a moth does to a lightbulb, and feeling secure in my own skin.
--I'm glad I have you in my life. Even the small smiley faces on digital screens you send to me makes me feel like I'm wanted.

"I'll be stuck fixated on one star, when the world is crashing down."
feeling happy for myself. I always worry about me being like all the
other guys out there and being interested for the wrong reasons. Sure,
it's happened, but I try to stray from being just another prick of a
guy... Sometimes, I even get scared of becoming like that... I get
worried, to the point of me feeling sick to my stomach. I just want to
be a good guy, not some scum who looks for the reasons to get into
pants and sheets.
I know love grows, and I know that things develop over time, which is
what I have to tell myself. After all, no one liked Davinci's work
until he died. Love grows for something or someone over the time it is
given. No matter the beginning feelings.

"Things Never Are As Bad As They Seem"
I will always sit back and watch the tides flow in, and out. Like a serene sunset off the coast of some unnamed island, sitting there, listening to every crashing wave, and the sound they make as they go back out. I love every bit of this. I can dream for hours on end, thinking, how nice it would be, to be sitting there, with a 50's classic minuet or a song singing in harmony, with my eyes to the water, and there being hundreds and hundreds of letters in bottles. And every single bottle; every single letter, being a letter from all the people who love me, with my response on them watching them float back to the other side of the sea, knowing they will be seen and everyone will know that I am in good health and I am in good mindset.
I wish that the island would be something so beautiful, that it would be mid-day all day. Something so fictitious, but something so desired. Oh how I wish that I could be there for a minute, maybe 7. I want to climb into my chair and sit back and watch all the letters float back, then suddenly, everyone appears right before my eyes. Standing beside me. Holding me tightly, as a photographer flashes the camera.
I wish for these moments.. ever so much..
"They say I only think in the form of crunching numbers, In hotel rooms collecting page six lovers"
In hotel rooms collecting page six lovers"
I can't think straight like I used to. My mind is a jumble, like a deck of cards after a perfectly horrid shuffle. Call me on all my bluffs, this is a poker face I can't keep straight. But in the next left the doorway has only a knob like steel tacks with imprints of my used to be face.
The school work is piling high, I often wonder how Health Teachers come about spamming their work onto my doorstep. I seriously think they have their assignments on a clothes-pin trigger, that goes off at the slip of a nail or a fingertip.
I wonder how I survive.

"The world is yours, so play the role."
They say that Time is a perception, which is more believable than the hands on the Grandfather clock in everyone's dining room. Like a lose bolt or a screw; I'm unwound at the idea of a paradise without a limit.
But then again, who isn't...?
There's a glow in my eyes, but more a black light than a flashlight, I may not be able to light up the dark the way the average could but I see every move and beat your heart makes.
I think that's good enough.
crystals inside, they are once in a lifetime. I wouldn't sell a single
one. Not even the ones of Fool's Gold. I make them for all to enjoy,
to learn, to feel.
My dear.
And may you share this crystal with me.
For I will be here to give you my memories like ships in a bay.

parental powers the world has. Sure I'm glad that i'm not a fucking
church boy, but I'm not a happy person with my family. I feel like my
Grandma has it the most right. She seems to pay me the most attention,
as well as my grandpa.
I love my mom but at the same time, we never have a good
understanding. I need to give my grandma more credit for the times
she's put up with me on numerous occasions. Ive thought to my self how
it would feel to be living with my grandparents for a while. They
provide for me alot. I don't like asking for things...I feel
guilty...like a thief who got caught and the victim finding out it was
the neighbor.

Bedknobs to Brackets.
If I wasn't sane still and had a little more marbles lost, I might have tried to peel the brackets off myself. What I don't understand is why would they take something off if it was the only way to keep my teeth safe from the braces? Maybe I should've considered Invisalign more. Sure they take longer to fix, but at the same time, look what type of pain im in with these metal monsters/mines on my teeth. I don't like feeling like my mouth is a road and each tooth is a blockade trying to stop you from going further without showing I.D.
Just how I want to feel before going to the movie on Friday...
Like I can't close my mouth.
Thanks Dr. __________

Take 2 then sleep.
In the end, there isn't a whole lot I can really count on.
Think about it like Alice In Wonderland. Even though the Cheshire was helpful, she never could trust him to do the right thing(s).
Somewhere I can see that these 'Eat Me"s are only taking away the pain until I wake up the next morning. Some even get addicted but I'm not that close to my prescription bottles to trust them with my life. It's only once in a while that I need an a(tivan)mbience to take away my troubles.
Who knows. Maybe something good will come of this in the end. Maybe there's really no senselessness to it.
We'll just see how things work out.
For now. I would like to use this to recollect my mind and my energy.
