“ADDICTING MELODY” (9/14/2011)

This poem was written a long time ago, BUT FUCK OFF

I wish we could switch places
So you would know how I feel
Then maybe you’d realize
That this blood is real

You’re confused so you think
But you still pick wrong
Instead of a new fresh happy beat
You pick the same ol’ sad song

Over and over you pick the same
And it just tears you apart
Just with a mere sorry
You give him a restart

I gave you an option
An option to set you free
But you blinded yourself
You didn’t want to see

Now think
Before you decide something you’ll regret
‘Cause I’ll be like an addicting melody
One you’ll never forget

One day you’ll want me back
And I’ll have a table for two
But when you try to sit in the chair
I’ll say “that seat’s not for you”

Let Me Rest (9/14/2011)

Dear Tumblr followers,

I don’t have many of you, but you are the ones that will read this.

Over the course of my life, I have been in a few relationships.  There have been many things that have gone wrong.  The problem is me.  But I’m me.  So therefore, I should get rid of myself to find a solution. 

I write poetry when inspired.  No one is inspiring me right now. I’m sorry I haven’t come up with a poem in a while.  I probably won’t. 

It’s not the same writing anymore.  I’ve lost any will to feel.  Therefore, my feelings won’t be visible on paper.

School is good.  Technology is good.  Then why am I not feeling good?

Just another post (9/13/2011)

So, I’ve been going to college.  Pretty easy stuff.

Right now I’m working on a new acoustic song for my friend Jonathan to perform for my crew, A WORD TO THE WISE (http://www.facebook.com/AWTTWCrew)

Also, I met this girl a few days ago.  I hung out with her at the park yesterday.  It was fun. I like talking to her.  She’s adorable.

I really hate my internet connection right now because in order to get notifications I have to keep refreshing. Everything loads slow. It’s horrible. I can’t even use FACEBOOK IM chat correctly. I have to refresh to see a response.

Tell me what you think of my newest track.

Check out my crew:  http://www.facebook.com/AWTTWCrew

Let’s Play Catch Up (9/4/2011)

Long time no blog.  Well I’ve been busy, but guess what? I can blog now.

Topics of this blog:

*A Word To The Wise (Talent Crew)

*School

*Life

So, let’s start off with my talent crew, A Word To The Wise.  It’s a group of talented people that network together.  We got by AWTTW and you can find us on facebook.  http://www.facebook.com/AWTTWCrew or on youtube at http://www.youtube.com/AWTTWCrew.  I’m a poet/lyricist that goes by the name D-Storm The Human Paragon.

School.  So I’m finally in college. I’m loving it.  I aced my first two tests.  I’m taking all tech classes and majoring in Network Security.

Life.  So my life has been busy.  I’ve been doing stuff with my crew, studying, and doing different things I’ve never done before.  Also, I’ve been trying to keep fit and have been biking quite a bit. 

So that’s my catch up.  Next time I’ll go back to what I usually blog about.  Stuff that enters my mind.  Til then. Adios.

Feel free to ask me questions.  Go check out my crew page.  Add me on Facebook.

Room 101 (English Project)

Have you ever thought that maybe the apocalypse isn’t such a bad thing?  Just look at this hell we are living in.  We’re already in the Pandemonium, but if you don’t believe, you may need to listen up. 

Take another look

And open your eyes

This country that you love

Is feeding you lies

They break you down

Leave you to your demise

Then give you false hope

To what lies in the skies

What’s it going to take

To make you realize

Just listen to the children

You can hear it in their cries

You know it’s not real

It’s hard to defeat propaganda

When the brainwashed on the street

Can’t understand ya

See, this is some real ish.  We’re living in Hell, but if you still can’t tell, you might want to open up your mind and listen some more.

You can only feel safe

When your gun is loaded

You’re colorblind

When the world is color-coded

You’re only taught

What they want you to know

You follow command

Show what they want you to show

If you break the law

Room 101’s in your future

They’ll gut you out

Have you by the seams like suture

You’re never alone

Always watched by the thought police

Just pop a soma

It’s your only shot at feliz

A grams better than a damn

Don’t know why but you’re quotin’ it

Your mind’s not yours

They’re the ones who be moldin’ it

Break their rules

They’ll give you the bible bit

Speak out against them

They’ll hit you with that libel shit

They make people not believe

The wisdom of God

Cause they quote hypocritically

And make it sound fraud

The nation’s corrupted

At the hands of Big Brother

There’s no love left

We all belong to each other

Well war is peace

And freedom is slavery

Ignorance is strength

And stupidity is bravery

If you think that sounds right

Then you’re out of your mind

If you took back what’s yours

You’d be surprised what you find

That the government

Isn’t what it’s said to be

Now they’re coming after me

I’ll handle them readily

So when I die later

I shall die a martyr

So these words that I speak

Will act as a fire starter

D.L. & Car & YouTube & More (3/26/11)

Long time no post Tumblr.  Did you miss me? Probably forgot I still had a tumblr haha XD.  Well here are some quick updates on my life.  I think I’m going to blog more often.

First off, I finally got my license.  Yup I’m legal on the streets.  (side note:  gas prices suck).  Oh, and I bought myself a Dodge Neon SXT. Pretty dope.  I finally have my wheels and don’t have to rely on someone else to take me somewhere. 

Another thing is that I’ve borrowed a condenser mic from a friend, and I’m making a mess-around mixtape.  I love hiphop and my lyrics come out funny.  Check out my youtube videos.

Check out my toxic flow:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tWVYAmPFZIo

I’m also on the hunt for a job again.  We’ll see how that goes.  I applied at Best Buy and Spencer’s. 

By the way, everyone that’s waiting for my book, I am still working on it.  Also, I may have one of my poems published in another book.  In addition, I’ve submitted “Road To Perdition” to a poetry contest.  I really hope I win. It’d be supercalifragilisticexpialiDOPE-ISH haha.

Well that’s just about it for right now.

I’ll be posting more later.

New Year (1/2/2011)

Well it looks like 2010 is no longer here.  I don’t really make much of “new years” as it doesn’t really change anything.  I mean c’mon.  Really. Think about it. It’s a new year.  Let me put another face on and be even faker than before.  If you do something, you do it because you’re you.  However, this year is different mainly because I am completing my years of high school and progressing toward college.

I’ve created a new facebook account.  It is so I don’t have too much reason to use it forcing myself offline.  Also, I’m limiting it to certain people who I really care about.  

I’m still playing on XBOX live.  You should add me.  ”StormOfDrakes” is my gamertag.  I play Call Of Duty:  Black Ops, Battlefield Bad Company 2, SmackDown vs. Raw 2011, Madden ‘11, NBA Live ‘08, PGR 3, Top Spin 2, and some other games.

Wow Long Time No Blog (12/18/2010)

Wow it’s been so long.  Dang let’s get caught up.

Microsoft Certified Professional:

Woo!!! I have “successfully completed the requirements to be recognized as a Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist.”  I’m an official IT Technician.  Yay.  Now I can look for a good job.  Also going for more certifications.  And going to college for Computer Science. 

Accepted:

I have been accepted to the University of Houston and Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi.  I have also applied to Stony Brook State University.  I am applying to Rice University as well.  We’ll see where I go.  I am going to be studying Computer Science - Computer Information Systems somewhat.  I’m going for that Network Administration type thing.  Maybe Information Technology depending where I go and what they offer or call the major.

XBOX 360:

I finally got an XBOX 360 a while back.  Right now I have Call Of Duty:  Black Ops, Madden ‘11, NBA Live ‘08, and Battlefield:  Bad Company 2.  I love playing Madden and BC2.  If you’re up for a game, add my gamertag:  StormOfDrakes

ETC

 Well some other news.  I’m almost done with the first semester of my last year of high school. YAY!  It’s been well.  I’m currently reading Paradise Lost by John Milton.  Umm…I’ve been writing very little poetry.  I’m finally trying to be more professional about it.  No more play around with nursery rhymes and stuff.

New Poem (9/15)

There are so many inspirations

But the greatest one is you

You may think that I just put some lines in for continuity

But every single one is true

I scribble words on paper

Thinking of the perfect thing to say

And through my scramble of beautiful adjectives

I end up frustrated and throw the paper away

For the words were still short

Of what I wished to show

As I grab another paper

In search of words that would let you know

Exactly how special you are

Even if special sounds cliche

But I will escape from the contemporary rhyme

So I expand my limits when speaking of your description

As any poet would use similies and metaphors

But I can’t find one that would fit as I would like

And yes I know this is just another sad attempt

To please you with my words

But I decided to prevent a waste of paper

And let you read this before I should discard

To let you know I’m trying

So keep your faith alive

As I yearn for you forevermore

Feminism, Poetry, & Getcha Head In the Game (9/12/)

This post will be going over my schedule, what’s been going on, and an update on the feminism topic covered in an earlier post.

FEMINISM

In an earlier post I talked about feminism.  I concluded that men and women are not equal.  (Make sure to read the other post before you get all po’d)  The thing is that we’re looking at this situation the wrong way.  We’re not trying to be equal.  The only thing people really want to have equal is the equal amount of opportunities.  What we really want is fairness.  If we wanted equality that means that everyone had the same consequence no matter what happened.  We’d all have the same salary.  We’d all have to pay the price if one person did something wrong.  We can only get as much as the lowest person got.  We want fairness.  This means that we want what we deserve.  We want what we work for.  We want to reap the benefits of anything WE do.  We want to be treated by who we are. 

POETRY

Don’t worry people.  I am still working on my poetry.  My book will still be coming out soon.  But like I was telling someone who asked…Poetry is personal.  It’s primary purpose isn’t to be shown off.  It’s one’s feelings.  So understand that not all poetry is going to be published.  Don’t worry though.  There will still be lots of work to be enjoyed.  (side note:  I may have found an artist to do the illustrations in my book =])

GETCHA HEAD IN THE GAME

I need to work on focusing on work.  I’m doing good so far with my grades.  I just need to focus.  If I ignore you every once in a while, it is because I’m trying to get my head straight. 

Questions:  How’s school?  Are you focused?  Are you looking forward to reading my book?

Sick & Playing Bass

This post is about me being sick and learning the bass.

SICK

So, I haven’t been sick in a while.  Now I am.  It’s hard to do some of the stuff I want to right now, but it’s nothing I can’t get over.  I’ve just been laying around for the most part listening to some jams.

BASS

I am learning to play the bass.  I am wanted in a Doom Metal band, Solomon.  I’ve been playing for less than a week.  My fingers have literally bled XD.  I’ve been working on “Iron Man” by Black Sabbath and “The Ides Of March” by Iron Maiden. 

I’ve been listening to more variety of music now.  

So now I’m bored.  Sorry for the long time period between now and my last post.

Oh and school has been good.  It’s easier XD.  All is well.

QUESTIONS:  Do you play an instrument?  If so, which?
