When I hit Telegraph, I hit the hat store, buy six A's caps and I'm good to go

About Me

After silence that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music. -Aldous Huxley
she looked so sad in sleep
like a friendly hand
just out of reach
a candle standing on
a beach
while the sun sinks low
an H-bomb in reverse
-Jim Morrison
There is no pain you are receding
A distant ship, smoke on the horizon.
You are only coming through in waves.
Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying.
When I was a child
I caught a fleeting glimpse
Out of the corner of my eye.
I turned to look but it was gone
I cannot put my finger on it now
The child is grown,
The dream is gone.
I have become comfortably numb
Im Matt, I live like there is no tomorrow. I have a muse, I have a brain, and I use it. I like to write music for piano-which I play, I like to smoke herb. Philosophy is a huge part of my life and eventually like everyone else, I have developed my own.I have no regrets, I have learned from my mistakes and I move on.
