0

The much talked about cover art to the next Disturbed album, “Ten Thousand Fists”, was finally leaked to the web. Why the big deal? Todd McFarlane is the artist behind it.

People are all around me. I work in retail where I deal with hundreds of people a day. I work on a popular website which results in dozens of people contacting me daily. I live in a house of 4 other people and my mom is going to, soon, be watching 4 kids. Everywhere I look, there’s people and no privacy, no quiet. I’m anti-social as it is, but this lack of peace makes it even harder for me to do things like meet girls (I’d like a few more chances to screw up relationships or at least deal with true nutcases as I often attract them). Then again, if I meet a girl, it would take a lot of time to get to the point where we could sit there in silence and be content. I miss that feeling. I think I got myself a little addicted to it. I wasnt’ alone, but I had my peace and quiet. It was nice. There was no chaos raining down on me. I miss that.

Basically, I’ve just been feeling run down lately. I go to work and work my ass off dealing with asshole customers and clueless employees. Thursday, I got this happy as hell Russian named Paul as a customer. It was a small sale, only $600, but it was so nice being talked to like a human being and even being thanked for being so helpful. Hell, he was so nice, I carried his stuff to the door for him. I’m so tired of fighting through every sale and then coming home and getting more shit from the kiddies over at Neowin. It really is draining and demoralizing.

I don’t know what else to say. I’ve given up on Maria and it honestly doesn’t bother me in the slightest. I’ve seen it coming, so I was prepared. Kristen read my profile which is amusing to me. I have a plugin where I could set the site to not show every post on the front page, but I think I’m starting to like it this way. The new Staind album rocks. That’s about it.

Two Sided Reflection

Two Sided Reflection (8/26/2005)

I see you peaking at me and I think you know it too
Are you thinking you can trap me even though I said it’s through?
Yeah, I think the worst of you after everything that happened
But I try to keep my cool and force me to be passive
But, damn, it’s so attractive and ever so damn tempting
To come around your corner for a little bit of venting
Fucking with your head and getting you all worked up
But, there’s nothing to be said and little left to stir up
Even now, I’ve used my words up, draining every thought
Using you for anger, I remember how we fought
And so, the past is lost and it’s funny how I’m better
I’m not blaming you for everything, that’s another whole damn letter

Magic is as magic does, we had our fifteen minutes
Occupying others with our lives ’til it was finished
Making people crazy with our doubts and insecurities
Everything was “maybe” but we said it so assuringly
And everything seemed sure to me, cornered by assumptions
Our relationship broke down, well, I guess it never functioned
We crashed at every junction ’til you chose to turn away
You chose another path and I was left to find my way
But, now I’m not afraid, I’m much stronger than I was
This rhyme gives it away, that I’m no longer giving up
Just pass to me my cup and I’ll drink up all your pain
You can hurt me all you want but I’ve adapted to the rain
Cause, no, I’m not the same, I’ve broken that addiction
Though I’m sure that some would say that it was more like an affliction
Like a tragedy of fiction, but a movie come to life
Where the hero dies to live and set it back right

But, let me end this rhyme, before I come off like a martyr
That wasn’t my intention, dealing’s just been harder
Though, I’m able to go farther if you make me run the race
I’ll even end right here and wait for you to set the pace

Back Story: I debated whether or not I would mention Kristen by name. Was I that angry still or could I reflect more maturely? I tried conveying that progression in this poem. Just when the first stanza seems to be leading to an angry rhyme, I take a breath and redirect it, a bit.

Woman Burns Down House

1

A woman accidentally set fire to her own home Tuesday while trying to kill snakes on her front porch, according to investigators. She said she found a nest of snakes in a couch on her porch and doused the snakes with lighter fluid. When she threw a match on them, the couch burned and so did her house.

Howard Phifer, who lives up the street, said there are a lot of snakes in this area. “I’ve been in this area 45 years,” Phifer said, “and that’s’ the most snakes I’ve seen since I’ve been here.” After the woman set the couch on fire she realized the flames were spreading, so she ran inside to call for help. The fire then engulfed the home and she had to jump out of a window.

The woman is okay and so is her dog. Phifer said he has an idea why snakes are slithering into his neighborhood. “Building houses and running them out of the woods or what not,” said Phifer. “All I know is they’re around.”

These stories occur so often, as of late, I decided to create a whole category here for shit like this. How stupid can a person be? It completely boggles the mind.

Who is the “Bitch Dog?”

3

CHICAGO Aug 17, 2005 — LaChania Govan said she got bounced around by her cable company when she called to complain. She made dozens of calls and was even transferred to a person who spoke Spanish a language she doesn’t understand.

But when she got her August bill from Comcast she had no trouble understanding she’d made somebody mad. It was addressed to “Bitch Dog.”

“I was like you got to be freaking kidding me,” said Govan, 25. “I was so mad I couldn’t even cuss.”

Full Story

Next time you call tech support, remember that you may wind up being the next “Bitch Dog” haha.

Welcome to Xpression.V2

By the time you see this message, I’m sure you will be very confused and wondering if you, perhaps, clicked the wrong link. Rest assured my friends, this is still Xpression. Due to the limitations of the old system and my own personal boredom with it, I decided to updgrade to WordPress. It is a very flexible blog system that simply had the plugins I need to provide as easy a transition as possible. The theme, while not of my own creation, was heavily modified by me to provide you with the same information you’ve grown used to on the main page of Xpression.

The only major change to the presentation is the fact that every post now appears on the front page. It’s how the system works and may take some time to get used to, but I do believe it helps you, the reader, to more quickly access the information.

This is still a work in progress, so there may be times things are completely broken or a little out of whack, but I felt I was far enough along to set this to live. Hopefully, this new design and system will encourage people to comment more. I know, personally, it definitely encourages me to post more.

Thank you for your continued interest in my life and, well, let the controversy continue.

Dismantled (8/23/2005)

[verse 1]
To every single lie I’ve faced
And every single time I traced
My veins to make you go away
And purge you from my fucking brain
In burdened patterns on my skin
Doing wrong to run from sin
Scorching hope to bring me closure
Save me from your cold exposure
Won’t you save me?

[chorus]
I’m like a canyon from a thousand bombs
Eroded down and now I’m torn apart
I’m burned alive by all of your deceit
I drown myself to find some relief

[verse 2]
These simple words won’t pay my way
What you stole’s now what I crave
Bleeding dry all of our pain
To wipe the tears right off our face
I’m grasping onto what is not
I’ll squeeze it ’til it’s all I got
I’ll give to you my last of breaths
And carve your name into my chest

[chorus]
I’m like a canyon from a thousand bombs
Eroded down and now I’m torn apart
I’m burned alive by all of your deceit
I drown myself to find some relief
I drown myself for some…..

[bridge]
Dismantle me
Take me away, break me apart
Dismantle me
Take this away, rebuild my heart
Dismantle
I can no longer take this
I can’t, I can’t

[chorus]
I’m like a canyon from a thousand bombs
Eroded down and now I’m torn apart
I’m burned alive by all of your deceit
I drown myself to find some relief
I drown myself for some…..

[bridge]
Dismantle me
Take me away, break me apart
Dismantle me
Take this away, rebuild my heart
Dismantle

I can’t, I can’t

Note: If this were to be heard, it would be a mix of Staind’s “Outside” and “Devil”. It’s a little hard to explain it, but it’s one of those harder acoustic songs.

Burden of Needs

1

No one reads what I post here, it seems.

Money is really screwing up my life. I hate it, but I need it. I loathe it, but I can’t live without it. I don’t want to hear any bullshit about how God will provide me with what I need. He doesn’t hand out paychecks and sometimes that’s all that’s needed. I’m literally broke and can’t catch a break. This week’s paycheck was supposed to be for me. I was going to be able to eat a meal daily and just be relaxed. What happened? I wind up needing a new damn mattress and boxspring because mine are shot to hell. You would think my family would pay for it, being that it’s a living requirement. Nope, no go. My dad simply excuses me from paying my rent for the month of September. It’s not even half the cost of the crap. I fucking hate this. My bank account was accumlating money nicely. I went from $1200 to $2500 in half a year, which is a lot consider my pay and living expenses. Now it’s down to $2000 and I don’t see any chance of it going back up. To make matters worse, the people of Brooklyn are scumbags and steal too much shit so I won’t be getting a bonus check from work this year. I’m fucking broke. I barely eat anything remotely healthy (or eat at all) and my work sneakers are shot to hell and I can’t get new ones right now. I hate money. I fucking hate it. Joe gets a whole new fucking room and I’m living in my own poverty in my own god damn house. I fucking hate money. My luck, I’ll be getting sick soon. I’m stressed, sleeping on a shitty bed, not eating much and have no insurance. Either I’ll get sick or my fucking front teeth will chip again (half of each tooth is fake) and I’ll be royally fucked. I can’t take this shit anymore.

Update: I’m on the phone right now cancellign the order. Fuck it I”d rather sleep on a broken nasty mattress/boxspring than be poor and stressed out. I can handle the back pain and shit, I can’t handle starving.

Update: My mom was actually cool and said sh’ed chip in $50 and my dad offered to throw in $23 while also waiving the month’s rent, so it only cost me $50 for this. I bitch alot, but I have to admit this was very nice of them, especially my mom.

One of Those Weeks

1

It’s has definitely been one heck of a week. I am surely glad that it is coming to an end.

Monday, I had an unusually long shift at work. With the department in the red and customers being more obnoxious than ever, it’s extremely hard to find any motivation, no matter how hard I try to be optimistic. It feels like a whirlpool sucking the energy out of everyone who puts on that blue polo shirt. It just keeps going no matter how hard you try to fight it. The customers have gotten so bad that I try to avoid working with the expensive stuff simply because I’m tired of every sale being a fight on whether or not I’m out to screw them over. Just a whirlpool you can’t swim out of.

Tuesday entailed a short work day, which was nice, but really didn’t bring anything to the table. I don’t even remember most of Tuesday.

Wednesday was one of those days where I wasn’t meant to relax, at all. First, I make a comment over at Neowin that winds up angering too many people. That was fun. I can’t forget the innocent trip to McDonald’s which added in a brief visual twist that I could have gone without. When I finally thought I was going to be able to relax and sit back and play some MVP Baseball, my XBOX controller decides it’s had enough of this cruel world and killed itself off. I should have just woken up that day and closed a door on my head. It would have been short and to the point.

Thursday was yet another joyous day of Best Buy employment. I am not going to be upsey when Alex, my manager, gets transferred to Appliances next week. Maybe I’ll wear some assless chaps just to show him what he’s missing out on now.

Friday’s only event was an uncomfortable and patience testing trip to Adelphi University to help Diana move back into her fall dorm room. Besides the fact that Joe and I walked onto campus, into the dorm building, around campus and even in and out of the dorm room without ever being stopped, I’m sure their security is top notch. I should have stolen a base pad, just to compensate for the shitty day.

Can you believe this? I just did a break down of my week as if people are going to care. I’m starting to question if I’ve really grown as much as I thought. Why all the anger? Why can’t I get over the past? Ignorance is bliss until you know the question exists.

Fran of Frans (8/17/2005)

Now that I have your attention, sit down for the session
While I babble to teach you and vent out my aggression
I just found my profession, done without your disgression
Beautiful hate that will hand out a new lesson
I’ll stop now, I’m just flexin’, showing off verbal muscle
Flipping through words with no concern of the trouble
Oh please don’t be mad, I’m begging you please
Ha, I’m just playing, get as pissed as you need
Get the pistols you keep and shoot rounds off at me
Curse me for relief ’til you’ve found disbelief
“I just do not get it, he was once such a good boy”
Write me angry letters, hope I’ll find us a new joy
And pray that I’ll rejoin your most perfect of dinners
Nothing like sharing the bullshit with sinners
Whose eyebrows’ the thinnest? Are her’s painted on?
That bitch is a racist, yet her face is long gone
I should take my long arm and smack her a little
Just enough to set straight and get her back in the middle
Walking the line of the crazy and desparate
This house wife’s not pretty, but is plastic invested
Oh, that’s so precious, that is so god damn perfect
I’ll go hump on her leg ’til I’m labeled perverted
No, your’e not crazy, that made no damn sense
She gave me her drinks and now my head is a mess

What is this beef? What the hell is he doing?
The past is complete, but the future is brewing
Something not sealed up, so now I will close it
Abuse her a little, have my fun and expose it
Cause people like that, with the fakest of faces
Need a small taste of the hate of the racists
You fuck around with that stuff and here’s your results
Oh, Fran of the Frans, a clown and her cult

Note: This is a very delayed reaction. Maybe like 2 or 3 years ago, there was an incident at my Aunt’s house where someone close to me was pretty insulted by the racist comments made by a drunken friend of my Aunt. I wasn’t the Chris I am today back then, so I didn’t really have the focus to react the way I should have. I finally just approached it and, instead of adding more hate and anger to such stupidity, I decided to have fun with it while still making a statement.
