This is for the one that got away
You were ready but not in the same place
And what I felt was real, but confused
The actions of a child-the heart of an ancient

I encountered a love when I was still malleable
I would become the love to be the love you wanted
If only for a moment
In reflection, how could I become as hard as I was
To a possibility that now haunts at the edge of reality's merciless grace

I have not left from there
A year or twenty is no sacrifice to that moment
Living, as teeth into a lip of blood

The dullness of age has lead to a vicous love of your memory
Not something to be fucked with
Secret claws of toothless tigers

Enough to cover you in rum
A specific neurochemical configuration of propagation-longing-probabilities

In simple words, you created something in me,
that never went away
And forgive me if I think of you
every single day.

Hello everyone. How's everything? I'm programming for Verizon still and going to Vegas in a couple weeks. Anyone else play craps?

This is how we DO

The temptation to tweak my settings even further at work is strong, but must be resisted :D

I hate halloween.

That's it.

Thicker is the smoke...
In a morning where pictures are worth more than lives
Synthetic propositions, cards, dice and lovers
We can love on high, or hate premonitions, promotions
A ladder of oil paints, sleeping, slipping
Softly gasping, red steam, black plastic
Maybe I twisted into you, dragged across a Phrygian desert
Wind erases missteps here, combusting the outside chances
of sand singing, all is mission
All is collapsing and cascading into impossible now

Things are going well...

Wracked up a couple of misdimeanors in the past couple months, but I'm makin money and things are great. Wassup LJ? *crickets*, oh yeah, Myspace...

I got final confirmation for the job and I'll be moving to somewhere around the Lynwood/Marysville/Everett area.

Goaalll!!! I surprised myself last night by scoring a goal in top division soccer. In Sunday's game I got a great feed from Brian and one-touched it in... but this one, I was tangled up with their defender against the boards and I did a spin move to put me one-on-one with the keeper. I found the inside post and scored with a minute left in the game. We still lost because no one showed up really and we played a guy down for the first couple of minutes, but it was a great way to finish out the season for me!

Goaaaal!!! Since it was our last division 5 game last night I decided to play on the field as a forward. Definitely a different ball game with all that running around. The team wanted me to score and fed me some good passes, one of which I scored with! This whole going from a smokin' gamer to a well rounded lifestyle with exercise has been really good for me. Things keep getting better.

I got the job in Everett working for Verizon as a "fiber optic network support specialist." I had to pass three rounds of tests which went fine, but I know I didn't have all the details on my application that they wanted (I don't remember my address in China, and I have a far from perfect driving record), so I wasn't sure I'd get it until today.

I looked at my phone and knew instantly that I had gotten the job because of the weird area code. Strangely, I was riding in the car with my boss and he was talking to me about the last guy that left the company. Woot. Money. I think I may head down on Saturday to look for a new place. Or I'll commute. Or. Or...

Been a while since I updated here! Then again, I've never been known for my bloggin' consistency. The most important thing is, of course, that my house is throwing a big pre-halloween halloween party this Friday. The last one was great and I hope this one is as good. There will be keg-o-beer.

What have I been up to? As it's been a half a year now, I can safely say that I've quit all smoking. I'm also on three soccer teams! I played outdoor during summer and now I'm playing indoor at the Bellingham Sportsplex. Just like when I was a kid, I'm playing goalie. It's going really well, we win against all but the best teams in the city -- specifically, the WWU soccer guys kick our asses. I've signed on for 3 more teams after this season.

Living on High Street has been great for me except for missing my old roommates, and a lot of my old homies. I've also been playing a hell of a lot of Settlers.

500 years, and 500 billion people later
The human species figures itself out,
But we still peer into the microscope, to find
it is us looking back.

Extend yourself as a being of pure light,
Only to find that the one you loved, extended herself deeper, took matter and made it matter, turned to something far more beautiful.

We try so hard to escape the game, when we fought so hard to get here... The vistas and musings of nowhere's light, still only reflect the entity of experience, a longing--pure pleasure cannot kill it

Waiting, creating, solving, evolving, natural selection of friends' relative truths, not seeing it had the taste of reflection, an unfortunate voluntary participation in non-disclosure of calcified assumptions, yep, that same old deck of cards.

Strangely absent from the mainstream media is the text of the letter sent by Iran's president, Vasalam Ala Man Ataba’al hoda Mahmood Ahmadi-Nejad.

To further up the claims I made last year about the superbases, or, "embassy" I present this link.

Just more evidence to pile on top of the obvious assertion that we're there to stay.

Happy April 20th,

Birthday of Napoleon and Muhammad. Also the day McKinley requested a declaration of war on those damn Spaniards!

I'm sitting in my Fairhaven office, drinking a beer and watching the sun go down. I've been coming here off and on for the past 5 years now, so it definitely feels strange that we're moving out. Whether it was drinkin' and smokin' on the roof during Ski to Sea weekend, or just having the large space to myself like tonight, I'm gonna miss it.

Not that working from home wont be cool... I'll definitely need to get a laptop and cell phone again so that I can work from the woods this summer :) Things are going well, I'm supporting two companies now (Valley Internet and OpenAccess) instead of one, which is nuts and good at the same time.

Going down to Seattle was fun, Mark kicks ass.

I made a big breakthrough on my Genome programming project, which involved tracking random recursive functions and expressing them through graphics. One step closer to another goal, but this one is slow going.

There hasn't been a lot of new music I've done recently, but that should change soon.

The ability of the human being, judged by my own personal perspective, to simultaneously indulge in a vast range of emotional highs and lows never ceases to amaze me. We pat ourselves on the back for a daily task well done and mourn intently a moment of vice years past. Our personalities, a collection of scars and dreams, formed in triumphs, infirmities, headslams against an axiom of causality borne of responsibility. The slightest of imbalances created this Universe; spiritual callings tread fine lines between annihilation and existence. Given eternity, can we be patient to not walk with those that are higher? Those that walked until walking had no more to offer, distances measured in light...
