Something I would only ever say to you:

The Live from New York benefit for rainn has always helped me through the process of letting go (of anyone or anything) I bawl my way through it everytime.

I took a looong drive last night despite missing out on some family time and in spite of rising gas prices.

It was me and Boys for Pele. That whole journey is fragmentation being made whole.

I know you will work your way through this. RELEASE YOUR INNER PIP

I like "Cool On Your Island" loud.

lately, my drives have been with Metallica, Stone Temple Pilots, Radiohead, and White Zombie. We live close to the open country--and it's good for riding and clearing your head.

I just wish I had a comfort zone now, but I've shed it in favor of health and eventual happiness. My old zone including the refrigerator, and a multitude of fast food joints. I think what is happening is that my inside and outside are threading together--beginning to reconcile what I've done. The healing is harder than anything else, and mind has to heal, I guess, the same as my body.

When you were here before,
Couldn't look you in the eye
You're just like an angel,
Your skin makes me cry

You float like a feather
In a beautiful world
I wish I was special
You're so very special

But I'm a creep,
I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doin' here?
I don't belong here

I don't care if it hurts,
I wanna have control
I want a perfect body
I want a perfect soul

I want you to notice
when I'm not around
You're so very special
I wish I was special

But I'm a creep
I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doin' here?
I don't belong here

-Radiohead

I am within. I am clear.
No more pieces, I’m together.
Rewind, reset, press play.
I break like waves—
Spread and cover
Upheave and bother every grain.
Then slide and sink and do it again.
Magnetic.
Molecular.
Aching for a taste,
Remembering the burn. Turn.
Glow like neon,
I’m in the window now.

Observed.

Ocular, Absurd, but not just hanging.
Contract, expand, no pause. No pose.
Fast Forward.
Sunset. Shimmer and green glow.
I’m solving myself.
Every grain.
Luminescent. Recording…
Unlimited power.

I am within. I am clear.

Wow!

If this is what is birthed by feeling "undone, strange, spacey, argumentative, deeply contemplative" etc

I say Bring It On

That is beauty.

maybe *someday* I'll get to read your book.

"c'mon baby I'm much stronger then you know....sometimes I'm not afraid to let it show....."

COYI old school y kant tori read style

Mike, I love that you can do this. You bring out something in me (why am I crying?). You speak, I hear you......

Claire, I'm just glad you don't think I'm weird.

These last few weeks have been quite prolific--not nearly as cryptic as the above, but certainly introspective and strange.

Thanks--

-Mike

In my view there is absolutely nothing strange or weird about what you express. It is YOUR road, YOUR journey.

What is amazing to me, on a personal level, is that much that you express with your amazing heart and mind and soul is what I feel, but would never be able to express.

I am grateful for you....

I have a song to a certain someone by Metallica - mind if I share the lyrics? Pardon the language:

Outta my way, outta my day
Outta your mind and into mine
Into no one, into no one
Into your step but outta time

Head strong, what's wrong?
I've already heard this song
Before ... you arrived
But now it's time
To kiss your ass good-bye

Draggin' me down, why you around?
So useless
It ain't my fall, it ain't my call!
It ain't my bitch

Down on the sun, down and no fun
Down and out, where the hell ya been
Damn it all down, damn it unbound
Damn it all down to hell again

Stand tall, can't fall
Never even bend at all
Before .. you arrived
But now it's time
To kiss your ass good-bye

Draggin' me down, why you around?
So useless
It ain't my fall, it ain't my call!
It ain't my bitch

No way but down, why you around?
No foolin'
It ain't my smile, it ain't my style
It ain't my bitch

Ain't mine, your kind
Your steppin' outta time
Ain't mine, your kind
Your steppin' outta time

Draggin' me down, why you around?
No foolin'
It ain't my fall, it ain't my call
It Ain't my ...

Bitch ... you ain't mine

Makes me giggle if I imagine saying these words to a certain someone...and Mike...you know the ringtone?

coptergirl · 05-26-2008, 07:33 AM

Seriously, though...my new anthem for me is David Cooks song that he sang on Idol, "The Time of My Life". Its still too new to find the lyrics, but I downloaded it from ITunes

David Cook The Time Of My Life Lyrics

Complimentary "The Time Of My Life" Ringtone
I've been waiting for my dreams
To turn into something
I could believe in
And looking for that
Magic rainbow
On the horizon
I couldn't see it
Until I let go
Gave into love and watched all the bitterness burn
Now I'm coming alive
Body and soul
And feelin' my world start to turn

And I'll taste every moment
And live it out loud
I know this is the time,
This is the time
To be more than a name
Or a face in the crowd
I know this is the time
This is the time of my life
Time of my life

Holding onto things that vanished
Into the air
Left me in pieces
But now I'm rising from the ashes
Finding my wings
And all that I needed
Was there all along
Within my reach
As close as the beat of my heart

So I'll taste every moment
And live it out loud
I know this is the time,
This is the time to be
More than a name
Or a face in the crowd
I know this is the time
This is the time of my life
Time of my life

And I'm out on the edge of forever
Ready to run
I'm keeping my feet on the ground
My arms open wide
My face to the sun

I'll taste every moment
And live it out loud
I know this is the time,
This is the time to be
More than a name
Or a face in the crowd
I know this is the time
This is the time of my life
Time of my life
More than a name
Or a face in the crowd
I know
This is the time
This is the time of my life.
This is the time of my life.
