The stone that the builder couldn't touch with his chisel - boulder, primitive missile

About Me

I want to relive my past, birth and all/ I want to strive to be the last, but I'm first to fall/ I want to sail upon the vast wide oceans of thought/ I want to sip from the flask of emotions you bought/ I want a broken watch, so time will stand still/ I want to forge hot steel atop this anvil/ I want a torch to bear, to chase away this blackness/ I want a horse to carry me anyplace on the atlas/ I want a mattress that doesn't twist my spine/ I want to practice using this gift in rhyme/ I want to lift your mind from it's surly bonds/ I want to remind you, you're just an earthly pawn/ I want to bond with air, the land, and the sea/ I want you to raise your right hand and swear with me/ 'I want to be, all that I be' That's all you need/ I want to ball for the IC 'til I fall to my knees/ I want a tall icy glass of your disease/ I want to sip it slow, trickle flow 'til I choke and wheeze/ I want to please, but you doubt my abilities/ I want to tame the beast with a leash called humility/ I want to be the villain and not the valet/ I want to make a killing scalpin' tickets to the ballet/ I want to be wicked, but the heart won't harden/ I want to take this thicket, turn it into a garden/ I want to pardon men like John Walker Lindh/ I want to bargain with Satan because I'm bathin' in sin/ I want day to begin, before the vampires find me/ I want to awaken just once to find you laying beside me/ I want to be to you what you are to me/ I want to fuck you until you can hardly see/ I want you to show your heart to me, with all of it's scars/ I want to artfully paint you a picture of my flaws/ I want to do more than pause and salivate from a distance/ I need you to validate my existence.

Your Famous Last Words Will Be:
"I dunno, press the button and find out." What Will Your Famous Last Words Be?

My Interests

Reading, writing, not doing either nearly enough lately. I also enjoy hip-hop music, kung fu, and worshipping the sun. Growing my sideburns until they can incorporate as a township,Legalizing and decriminalizing the sacred herb marijuana.Oh, and birds, and wildlife in general. But birds are fuckin' sweet. And Bob Dylan is the greatest musician of all time. Fuck you.

I'd like to meet:

If I had time I'd walk around and shake everybody's hand/ like, "yo, how you doin', my man?"/ but I'm not allowed, I'm tryin' to beat the clock now/ so I'm out, right after I rock this crowd/

Music:

Welcome to the new age, and believe me, words are dead/ outmoded, encoded to gigabytes instead/ i don't think i like this trend, the demon convenience/ the less we have to think then the less we have to reason/ at least thats what im feelin, praytell, whats your analysis?/ you sit in your palace grippin your phallus sippin chalices/ and you're the icons of this art to the masses/ you're the ones who have a chance to make a spark in this blackness/ but i didn't come here to harp on you bastards/ i just came to raise the bar and see if you could hop it after me/ i speak with willful blasphemy, both hands reject the doctrine/ make a stage of the cage you're locked in, sing your pain in broken octaves/ let your lamentation stain the ground and your fury paint the page/ all their masturbation comes around and fucks themselves someday/ so if you feel you've got to say, fuck whos listening or not/ words like diamonds glistening prove difficult to stop/

Movies:

The Departed is awesome, fuck you Joe.

Television:

Kill it, quick, before it kills you

Books:

If you don't read Cormac McCarthy I will punch you in the face.

Heroes:

Lucky the Leprechaun. I long to spend carefree days hiding marshmallows from children and clicking my heels. But, of course, the only real heroes are people like me, who hold society together for the rest of you swine by sheer magnetism and charisma. Also getting mad respect are the dishwashers, housekeepers and custodial staff, various food-related wage slaves (one love to the Falbo's cats), porn store employees, anyone who bleeds to oil the gears of capitalism.

My Blog

Guilty

This one's alright. I based this around an older Randy Newman song of the same name that really inspired me. It's kind of caricature of myself. The italicized lyrics are Newman's and will be sung...

Eyes as vacant as the sky. (October the Twenty-Second)

The girl with eyes so vacant, she holds nothing but her child.The empty-handed vagrant, he holds nothing but a smile.I'm standing empty-hearted and I hold an empty vial,amidst the intertwini...

Second Quarter Writing '07. Taste the mediocre poetry action.

So, hmm, here we are halfway through 2007. These past few months have been less stressful than normal for me and therefore have been less absurdly productive than the first quarter of this year was. I...

First Quarter '07. Anything worth reading I haven't posted yet, come on in and waste your time

So, obviously I've been writing a lot more rap music lately. I posted up most of the decent songs I've written already. Here's some stray stuff that didn't make it in yet...some of it's good, and some...

More of Tony's writing. Huzzah?

Ok, so here's another concept that I have been working on. It's called "My Crew" and it's about, well, the human race in general. I guess you could say this is a darkly humorous song. I tried to work ...

Medicine Man Vs. Shameface

Ok, so I'm pretty much just putting this on here because I already have a good start on it in my head, and it is easier to type than write, and I'm at the library. This is an argument between my ...

Grrr.

Smoked weed last night. Not very fucking pleased with myself about that. It'd been three and a half months. Very discouraging to fuck up like this now. Not gonna spout off excuses, even though I'm men...
