I do not understand

·

I do not understand how this world is so unfair.
Hate and anger lurks inside my heart.
Lord sweet Jesus….please help me…one of these days….I do not know what to do.

I do not understand.

There are so many things to be done that you can’t do.
Things you want but you can’t have.
Time that you need but you do not have enough.
Time that you have but you can’t spend.
Songs that you can’t sing.
Music that you can’t play.
Knowledge that you can’t learn.
Food you can’t eat.
Clothes you can’t wear.
Words you can’t swear.
People who won’t accept you.
Things you have to go through.
The more you try, the more it’s not enough.
The more you think you are brave, you realize how scared you are.
The more smart you think you are, the more stupid you know you look.
Sunrise and sunsets you haven’t seen.
Grass you haven’t walked barefoot on.
Butterflies you can’t catch.
Flowers you haven’t smelled.
Places you haven’t been.
Movies you haven’t seen.
Nights you haven’t slept.
Tears you haven’t wept.
Rain you haven’t bathed in.
Words you wished you said but you didn’t.
Thoughts you have you wish would leave.
Friends you have are a million miles away.
People you love actually hates you.
People you haven’t met.
Sometimes you wish you never did.
Laughter that dies before it leaves your breath.
Anger that won’t come out.
Headaches you can’t bear.
Books you haven’t read.
Prayers you haven’t said.

I do not understand this cruel world we live in. Why is the glass half empty?
Why me? Why now? Why?

It all seems so stupid it makes me want to give up,
but why should I give up when it all seems so stupid. – Depeche Mode

Yeah you know what I am talking about!

Back to the grind

·

Vacation is over – Back to the grind.

Well….that’s it.
Back to work tomorrow.
Spent my whole vacation doing absolutely nothing!

I didn’t go away….no travel…no stress.
All rejuvenated for more productivity
…hahahahaaaaaaaa…… I can’t wait for the long weekend.

I also would like to thank all my good friends who have checked out this site.
I have gotten so many hits that if I would have to put ads and banners,
I would have earned enough money to buy this.

Happy Birthday!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my other Loving sister Elizabeth!

Love you always Sis!!

Now you gotta send me pictures since you and I look alike.
I bet I would look good if I was a girl.

I would never leave the house.

KISS MTV Unplugged

·

Let me tell you something that I realized today.
I am a little sad and annoyed that the world is a very noisy place.

Let’s take a look at my day today…
First, Tracy was awoken by a buzzing alarm clock.
My alarm is the construction in our building, pretty much starts around 7 AM.
Rush hour kicks in at 7:30 til just about 9.
Living downtown has its toll.
Horns, engines, and squeaking breaks screaming at you non stop.
My microwave beeping that my meal is done.

Anyways….I pop in the KISS MTV UNPLUGGED video.
Hey, I am still on vacation…. so I can do whatever I please….
(Okay, that last sentence may not be true.)

I was never much of a KISS fan, but thanks to Sylvain,
the same guy who got me into Dream Theater, lent me this video.

KISS? Unplugged?
I didn’t think it was going to be as wicked as when I saw them in concert.
It started pretty simple with the song “Comin’ Home.”
I was fine, just sipping my coffee, enjoying the show….
but when the song “Domino” came up, (which is now my favorite KISS song by the way)
I am so “in” BABY!!!.
I picked up my guitar, jamming with the best ….
Then the whole family came on stage…along with Ace Frehley and Peter Criss.
It just totally brought the house down.
You could just see how not only the audience are having a great time,
but the band themselves are in the height of enjoyment.

As they sang their finale – “Rock and Roll All Night,” Every KISS‘s fan’s anthem,
I was jamming along …enjoying the catchy rhythm,
I suddenly heard some cool banging tune (in the key of “G”),
synchronized with Peter Criss’s Bass drum.
I stopped, trying to figure out what the hell he is hitting on stage.

Then it hit me,
I muted the TV….. And the banging drums is coming from the construction outside.
I guess they are just hurrying for lunch break and they all wanted to get things done.

In conclusion, this is now what I realized.

The world may be a noisy place. But once everything gets synchronized,
with all the melodies and notes,
We all live in one big musical rhythm.

Now I know why MUSIC is the universal language.
Well…that and SEX.

Finally!

After days and months of testing and decision making,
this website is officially hosted and maintained in my own little place.

Windows,
running Apache web server.

I had to take into consideration a whole lot of stuff,
like security, wiring, performance and OS installation.

It’s all good though.
Now I do not have to abide by anybody’s rules. No space limit.
No file restrictions. No ads or banners. No problem!

So if ever this site is down.
Blame this guy.

On Vacation

·

Today starts my 2 weeks Vacation.
To be honest, I have no clue on what to do.
Since the Sept. 11 tragedy, I have not been in the best of moods.
I don’t think anybody was or still is.

So I did some thinking.

I thought about how it amazes me what people do to each other and themselves.
Why would anybody have the guts to cause harm to somebody else?
Why would someone choose to be a terrorist?
I mean c’mon! Honestly!
Do they wake up one morning, sip their coffee,
and say, “Yup! I have decided to be a terrorist.
I want to strap high explosives onto myself, scare the living daylights out of everybody,
kill them and me.”

Holy crap!!..I guess now that Hitler and Napoleon are dead,
there is a good demand for terrorists and killers huh?

Why not choose a different career?
Work in a restaurant.
Teach kids how to spell.
Work in a car wash.
Whatever….

Then I realized..
I know why these people do it.
To them, they are regarded as nobles or heroes in their religion and tradition
if they destroy anybody who does not do what they do, believe in what they believe,
and think the way they do.

Well let me tell you this.
I do not know what planet or place that belief came from,
but in my world,
These are the true heroes. Hero 1. Hero 2.

U.S.A. Under Attack

·

Still in shock.
Two planes crashed into the World Trade Centre twin towers,
one into the Pentagon, and one just outside Pittsburgh, PA.

What can you do?
What do you say?
Can you just imagine the height of anger and grief?
How could someone have the audacity to do this to humankind?

Before I say what’s on my mind,
please say a prayer for the innocent victims and their loved ones.

“Eternal rest, grant unto them O Lord, and let your perpetual light shine upon them”

Now. My turn.
Telephone ringing.
I wake up …. My brother yelling,

“Are you watching the news!?”

I mumbled, “I am not! You just woke me up! “

He said….
“Hurry! Terrorism in New York!!”

I turned my TV on.
And the World Trade Center’s sister building is missing.
Freakin’ smoke surrounding the tower!.
What the fuck is going on??

Then it happened..

I saw the other tower collapse. I am witnessing death as it happens.
Thousands of lives trapped.
So much anger. So much pain.

I know as of this time” (7:04 PM), there is still no word on who the fucker is.
The news media is trying to be “Politically Correct”, making sure no one would be offended.

I don’t care!! Whoever you are or whoever is involved….
What are you trying to prove you Motherfucker !!!???
First of all, You better take a fuckin’ shower because you stink!!!
And second of all, enough with this bullshit terrorizing and killing people.
You and me buddy…. hand to hand, old fashioned fist fight!!
I am going to fucking kick your ass!!

WAIT!! make sure you shower first because I won’t be able to stand your stench! Your whole being stink like the fucker you are!
Your soul reeks of shit, pus and worthlessness.
I am fucking shaking just writing this down!

All you hear is the word “horrible attacks”, “cowards” and “how vulnerable we are”.
FUCK THAT!!
It’s time for someone to stand up and say,

“We know who the bastard was….and we will beat the shit out of them!”
“We will skin them alive, pour A1 sauce on them and feed them to New York rats and cockroaches!”

Anyways …
Wherever you are, whoever you are.
I hope you are fucking happy, because once BUSH gets a hold of your cowardly ass,
He will stab your pecker hole with his Texas bayonet!

I hope your children, and your children’s children
will feel what you have contributed to this world.

And lastly, You know what I am going to do?..
After I offer my prayers,
I will go and get me some McDonalds’ Big Mac Burger meat!
Super Size!!
and I will just enjoy “FREEDOM”.

Something we know you don’t have.

Fucking Coward!
