Through Time // Playlist I

Through time I have adored, embraced and loved these songs.
Through time they have been my most valuable sanctuary.
These songs make my soul bleed, or shiver in the joy.
And they have literally saved my life.
Many many times.

[Gives me goosebumps!.]

[Edgar Allan Poe in 1847]










































Enjoy!.

Fangirling

Just finished watching the last aired [10th] episode of
"Ore No Imouto Ga Konna Ni Kawaii Wake Ga Nai"
And there was one place, that I rewatched MANY MANY times,
because it was so damn kawaiiiiiiiiii.

I giggled and sang with it like a little girl.
But I couldn't resist it!.

gooby
hysterical

Here!.

 Stardust Witch Meruru Cosplay

How can one thing be so
CUUUTTTEEEE.
*just had her first fangirl kawaiiiiiiiiiiii moment.*

Blergh

Is it too strange, that I want to cry... when I allow myself now.
I so want to, and yet, something still holds me back, and instead of that I write deepened storylines for my characters for Rp and just... *sigh*

Creating worlds has become my only sanctruary again. Writing poems and stories in my own head, since I am just way too restless to actually write them down, though I should. There is this story, that needs to be continued on, an entire world created. A whole system.

I shall not let you know about this here, since you'll never know who comes and steals it. My ideas are way too unique, so I better keep them to myself and for those, who honor it.



Of course, my father knows perfectly how to make my days brighter. He managed to come home and tell me :: "Yes, continue smoking, so you could end up in the hospital as well with the lung cancer like your grandfather did."

GOD!.
Why can't people tell about these things in a better way?. Why he has to be like a total jerk all the time?. Yes, and he screams at me and my brother, when mom is at work. Then she won't protect us, and he can release his nerves and distress on us.

We discussed about this a little with Elizabeth today, when I went out to meet her and couple of more people, and we were left waiting in the middle of the winter, when these other went to the shop to buy some wine.

She told me that pshycical abuse is a lot better than mental abuse. She is right. The mental bruses tend not to heal, yet the flesh wounds heal.



I know... I know that I will get better, when I finally get away from here, move away. Even my health will get better, as the constant abuse [and the parents even don't realize it] is making things stressed, and this transfers over into a pain. This way my damn organism and body suffers all the time, not to mention what my nerves are doing. Blah. Assholes.



I try. I try so hard and my best, but life is not easy. Yes, I have told many times that nothing is complicated, everything is simple. But my dear person, 'easy' and 'simple' are very different aspects of two sides of a coin. Makes any sense?. No?. Then fuck off.

I don't have to spend my time on useless people. Hah!. I used to be kind and easily used, yet now... the change came long time ago. Few years back. Two and something to it, actually. I became a bitch. I speak up. I am who I am, and I am proud to be here. Not in this damn house, but as a person.



Woke up today, with a huge migraine. It was hard to stand up, was possible only to lay down and do practically nothing. It felt good.

It still hasn't left me, though, but I manage. I just have to find something to make it go away.
To watch anime.
RP.
Listen to music.
Sleep.

Just Names

No, I am not starting to have a baby.
Names generally have a strong power behind them.

The names that I have begun to like.
[And that I use for my RolePlay doll characters.]

Claudette :: little lame one
Charlotte :: man, little and womanly
Constance :: steadfast
Cecile :: blind
Cendrillon :: little ashes
Colette :: victory of the people

Other names that I just adore.

Constantine :: firm, constant
Julien

Gone Gone Gone [Poem]

The wings you spoiled,
used to be the only enchantment
    in the passing of eon.

"Gone, gone, gone,"
    the dawn weeped.

& then you left her,
went with the last shuttle.

"What is my name,"
the swallow asked,
spreading its soul
    & went with the boy.

"Next Summer, we will meet again!."
echoed your last promise,
uncoiling from her long mane
& turning its cheek towards the tomorrow.

"Gone, gone, gone,"
she whispered, the lips dry.
"The name is Jaqueline,
    & I will be a star in your sky."

Yet in the next year,
she never came,
    but the air was full of her,
full of the girl,
who bowed down to the death.

Inspiration ::
Ray Bradbury stories & AM "5 Centimeters Per Second"

Wishlists...

Usually I haven't made these kind of things, but the times are different. 
From time to time, we all have needs, right?. ^__^

...for coming Christmas & Bday [7th Jan.] ::

  • Headphones >> I have only right ear working, and it is kind of annoying from time to time. *le sigh*

  • Webcam

  • A lot of black ink- and gelpens

  • Pokki >> I know that you can't have it from Estonia *sob sob*

  • Chopsticks >> my own chopsticks!.

  • Sake

  • SUSHI. AND A LOT!!!!.

  • Mangas.

    D & Asagi-san



    D


    A Japanese hard rock band formed in 2003 by Asagi, Ruiza and Sin, after their previous band Syndrome disbanded.
    Asagi-san, when... okay... when the first time I heard "Snow White", and his voice, I understood that he is equally placed on the same level as Gackt is.
    If there was a perfection, it would be named as Gackt or Asagi, for sure.



    Asagi


    Beautiful, just beautiful.
    I am crying inside again.
    And my body is in the shivers.
    What a vocal!.
    What a perfection!.

    Music :: KOKIA - Anshin no Naka

    When I went to lock the door of our apartment building in the passing of midnight, two hours late, I took the liberty for a smoking brake. There were single nights shining in the night, as I stood under the lamp. Only the wind whispered, and the other sound beside the quietly howling air, my own breathing and falling, glittering snow, was click-click-click against the shed's wooden body.

    As I did have minimum access to the computer, the limited time was filled with other things, so I will post these entries later...

    Lately all I feel is the feeling of crying, and no Kai... this time I have not said to myself that I can't. I am taking the challenge & let it come over me. I know, though, that in the end there is no use of it, but for a short while it makes me lighter. A lot... lighter & stronger, too.

    Talking about Kai and his girl, whom I also love and whom is also my friend, too. Yes, a friend.
    There are people, who are also part of my closest range of friends, and don't have the best views about him & her. Then there is this third side, with whom Kai's girl can't get along... So there I am, in the middle of it, but don't get me wrong. This has been fully my own choices, whom to trust, honor and love. You can say that I am a chameleon, I can get along with different kind of people, though it doesn't mean tat I plat to be someone else. Nor I have lied. 

    NO!.

    One main fact is certain ::
    Love doesn't choose.

    Music :: KOKIA - Tomoni

    Yes, I come back to this, but I understand that people are worried of me. Try to lessen it and focus more on your life.
    I am a big girl & have been for a long time.

    I can take care of myself, okay?.

    I can't become strong if people keep their focus on me, which makes me focus on their worry, if that even makes any sense here now. Don't want that, and remember, it is not pushing you away. It is simply keeping you safe... as I manage to make many mistakes, or pull out unnecessary drama, since I have way too big mouth, which makes people take my words wrong or//and way too personally. This is the main problem, too, though. People need to get over of everything in general and understand that anything does not revolve around them. That includes everything. xD

    So... please my friends, stop pressuring me!. I live my own life, choose my own friends, live through my own mistakes. & even IF I come to ask advice, it doesn't mean that I fully will follow its path. & where I do ask advice, keep in mind that there [in most cases and situations] are not only two sides of people, but much more. Though taking sides is stupid enough, so better remain in safe place :: simply being neutral.

    Yet, who I am to tell, what & how you need to act. I have nothing to do with your life and choices you have taken to made, make or about to be done. These are just tips, how to "get along with me", so huss... huss, my child. Better listen the song of murmuring snowflakes, dancing in the wind.

    So, no hard feelings, ye?.

    Read Me

    02. December. 2010

    "They were ordinary hands. Not thick, not thin, not long, not short, not hairy, not naked, not manicured, and yet not dirty, not soft, and yet not calloused, not wrinkled and yet not smooth, not murdering hands at all - and yet not innocent."

    ~ Ray Bradbury, "TGAOTS", story 5, "The Fruit of the Bottom of the Bowl".

    Blueberries & Nighthowls

    01. December. 2010

    "I feel like I'm dead, thought Janice, and in the graveyard on a spring night and everything alive but me and everyone moving and ready to go on with life without me. It's like I felt each spring when I was sixteen, passing the graveyard and weeping for them because they were dead and it didn't seem fair, on nights as soft as that, that I was alive. I was guilty of living."

    ~Ray Bradbury's "TGAOTS", story 4, "The Wilderness".

    + + +

    It is another night awake, by choice mostly, yet there is no cure found for insomnia. When it has spread its roots into you, there is no escape. Even the drugs and medications won't help. These are just an excuse, and people sure do love to make them. Just for escaping or imagining that this way they will have the control back.

    Lies & Slander!.

    In a way I just adore to be awake, yet I am a professional sleeper.
    So you can imagine my sweet dillemma, right?.

    Can you see it?.
    Feel it?.
    Will you embrace it as it was your own humane disease?.

    + + +

    Visited Elizabeth during the last day, drank tea, gossiped & checked things from the internet of her little sister's computer. Finally dressed, we headed for a small, crispy walk.

    The winter has finally reached in full force & in makes me quite happy. The silence that comes with all of this is completely something different, and possibly the only matter during what I can rest, with body, mind, soul, spirit, heart & every core of my own self.

    Thoughts of Nightbird

    30.november.2010

    I am just another insomniac in this night. Hot peppermint tea with last sugar from the can & Ray Bradbury's book in English, called ::

    "The Golden Apples of the Sun".

    I smell like garlic, with the tint of cheese. Choice of taste. & I hoped to hear some better music from the radio's night channel, but my wishes fell for the deaf ears.

    + + +

    Bradbury's work has always thrilled me with its stunning simplicity, no doubt. The usage of words & everything else just flows in its unnatural path. He makes me want to write again, write better, write better even via roleplay, that lately has made things harder occasionally for me... The will is tempting to brake down, & yet I hold onto it, since RP is my bittersweet sanctuary, just like grapes without taste...

    + + +

    I wrapped the cracks in my window frames today. The room feels a lot warmer, that is for sure. & no cold breeze taints my back and back of the neck with freezing games. It feels better.

    & lately I get any normal sleep at all. I run over the right time to fall into dreams, and that means, that this little angel is totally, completely awake; yet body wishes to rest, not to mention the stress in my mind that keeps gathering from nowhere and little things from life battles.

    + + +

    & some people are worrying way too much about me lately. I know why, as well, but please, don't... I am way more afraid losing the two of you more... & worrying about my own safety.

    I feel like a little child, but I guess we all have one kid inside all of us. This is not a bad thing, though. This inner child supports us and gives strength on the moments, where we imagined to be crashing down like a falling star. On a point, where this "energy" shows us the way through dark, it guides us and we always will know that we will be okay!.

    + + +

    [That next paragraph... if some figure and don't understand what I am talking about, don't bother & don't ask. It means that it is none of yours to be worrying about!. I just need a place, where to write about these things and for one person!.]

    My dear Elizabeth, what you are going through, is more familiar to me, in more ways than one; and I know that we are not the only ones struggling against the big bad wolf = world!. Yet it is different, because we have different backgrounds. The abuse tends to take forms that might still be unknown to us all, and we even can't be totally sure, if the participants haven't been pulling other strings behind the curtains of our lives as well. Some more than the others...

    The fact that I never figured nor noticed & how you spoke that you never let it shine out either, made me understand in two main matters ::


  • She is stronger than she might ever realize.

  • To hide it so well, means, again... that person is strong... or at least has the strength to play itself as one.

    I have to admit, I admire her for that. I am not at all that kind of a person. I have to let it come out of me somehow, in some way. Roleplay, doing my twisted art, write poetry, watch anime, and//or just ramble through riddle-talk in the blog//journals.

    And even that isn't enough, because this struggle seems to be never ending, and as she said [being completely right about it too], it always grows worse.
    Fighting all alone against the big bad wolf, you seem to know that you really aren't alone, but why we feel that it is not the truth, then?. What stops us on the way?. What freezes us on this life-journey and steals every bit of hope?.

    How to face this giant wave & stop it from crushing us over and over again?.

    + + +

    Some would call it a depression, They would say that I am just "ill" again, but I have my own explanation to it, better...

    If you are "gifted", which includes empathy and many other things to it, you feel the pressure that is placed upon you more. You FEEL way more than other people. From this another birth.

    We are just more sensitive to it all, and it comes to affect us like this.

    Even If

    She brought it back to me, when I saw her brake between my hands like a tender glass. The way I have broke many times before. The way that I only know.

    She brought it back to me, and I realized, just a moment ago... that this wish hasn't gone anywhere, even though I have promised. But then again... this promise to myself is worth to brake. It is worth to brake, so I could get free from this inner and endless agony, which seems to grow through time.

    Even though it is gone from inside of me, now there is this emptiness, this hole. And the screams hasn't gone anywhere. I do. I do feel lighter and better.

    Yet, deep inside...

    ...we all are still suffering.

    None of Us Wants To Die

    Have been away, yes, I am aware of that. Away from the "real" world, but yet... the bitterness is hanging around like a bad scent.

    Things to go through.
    Thoughts to pull apart.
    To escape.

    Even then I know, from deep inside, that escaping solves nothing. But we still continue doing it, because it is so easy. It never asks explanations or forgiveness. It comes, and gets you out of the misery. And yet... misery is something we should go through, because it is the pain that makes us stronger.

    But are we worth it at all?.
    The pain.

    The hell that we create for our selves. Single or having a partner, it really does not matter anything. We still die alone. I have always had belief into this. No matter, how much we are loved until the end. There is still no one left but us, and our own soul, heart, body and mind.

    We are not worth it.
    None of us is.
    To be alone.
    To push others away.

    It is known as fear.
    Fear pushes others away.
    Fear blocks us to See.

    Fear... is just a disease...

    Concept of Conclusions

    I don't know how to survive in this slumber.
    Medicine has got me in the net.
    Want to smoke,
    want to smoke the dirt,
    but everything is circling me in.

    I could feel, hear the heart
    throbbing everywhere.
    Where are you?.
    Behind which corner you hide now?.
    Where is it?.
    Behind what curtain is the closure?.

    Where is it?.

    But I know. I do know.
    How to survive.

    Screams. Squeals.
    Screams. Dreams.
    Why they pull me out of my dreams?.
    Pull me.
    Pull me, fingers.
    I am the trigger.

    Battles

    I have been struggling with my own darkness for so long, and I have given up. So many time, I have let it beat me up. Beat me up, until my blood flows. And I never fought back.

    This time it is different. I have had help. And it is the end of hurting people, whom care about me. I will change. I will become stronger and I will no longer believe in the darkness. I will root it out from my heart, from my soul.

    There is only my voice now.
    And it feels good...

    Need You...


    One person, whom before had no face, is now haunting in my dreams. Most likely he is black skinned young man, and he loves me. I know it. I want him back to my side.

    He is the reason, why I haven't commited myself into relationships. I miss him, I love him. He is my twin flame and I have been searching for him, waiting for him. He is the only one, whom can make me whole. He is my second part after all. Without him I am just half, non-functioning energetic system. There are only very few who understand it, sadly. But hey, it is okay. I will be patient and craving, and I know we will meet soon enough. Can't lose the hope, I just can't give up on him nor on my own self as well!.

    Wherever you are, a man with such dark skin of honey, come sooner!. I need you. I am in love with you, like I always was past life, and every life before it. Come and find me!. Quick!. Sooner!. Faster!. Please...

    * * *

    It is raining snow here!. But at least it remains on the ground a little bit longer!. You guys have no idea, how much I love it, adore it, embrace it!. Winter is the only season, where I feel absolutely solid, comfortable and safe. I am able to rest during that time, the pain is relieved by the pureness of the "Death Season". Yet it is never the end. It is always the beginning.

    * * *

    Few days ago I understood, why I can't find words to write solid stuff in Estonian poems and etc. Because...

    ... I just don't have a muse. So here I sit, in my mind, all these words driving me crazy. Since I just can't put them out there, in the perfect little lines. I can write only in English, and they are drowning in sadness and gore. These are written out, when I just feel like ripping someone apart. When They are being a nauseus family again.

    I need Love to write, I need a Muse to write about it all.

    Greetings To All Of My Readers!.

    OH!. And I have already over 1000 people read my blog!. I am actually really happy about it!. Thank you everyone for supporting me and keeping an eye over the stuff that I am going through!. (:

    And if you are afraid to comment on any posts, don't be!. With your help and thoughts added to mine, we all can improve into a better person!.

    Mellow Alone In The Autumn City

    My small trip started on the 19th October of 2010, yesterday that is. I was sitting in our typical smallt own's bus station, smoking my cherry tobacco, self rolled strawberry minted cigarette and waited in the breezy suburbia the one ride to take me into the larger city. Bigger streets and buzzer society.

    From the blink of the eye, when all these ants where gathering, I saw this one person. 

    My first thought was :: "It is Little L!." 
    Then after a brake of a second :: "No, it is not Little L."  

    And after a little observation, I understood from the way she was walking that indeed, it is her!. Oh what a day!. At least I didn't have to ride all the way alone. At least one familiar face in all of this chaotic swirls that kept going and going not only in my mind with a loud bangs, but also in front of my eyes with silent existence.

    After having a hug, the bus came soon!. The road went by like riding in a milky way. Beautifully spoken by the soul, whom spent the Saturday in between people, whom are so dear to her and as well communication without these masks and faćades, she has to wear every single moment in home with Them. My soul and heart was at peace, in harmonious silence and happiness, when we arrived home one or two o'clock after midnight. [After the military time, of course. I still haven't gotten totally used to the PM and AM thing.]

    We were mingling in different little shops and explored the beauty of the New Yorker and one accessories shop. Oh these little extacies and joyful surprises, when we found little earrings of Geishas, bunnies, bears, cats and everything other that cought our eyes. Ideas flashing through the mind of the soul, what she could do better and with not such cash, something to make on her own and with her small hands, with not so much money and a lot more original ideas!.

    After this our ways departed after she had some business in the Wool and stuff shop in the main marketing street of Pärnu. [Yes, it is all still running around in Estonia. Wait for some more time and you'll find me making entries in other places around the world as well. Hopefully!. ;)] Okay, I remember now that I wanted to mention in the beginning, that I had to meet up with Naks, but he didn't call like he told me that he will. And later it came out, when he did, hours and hours later, that he had stuff to do. Oh my!. Is it really that hard to make a small call or send a message that you can't at the moment?. I had everything planned according to the fact that he will call to me!. It pisses me off and I don't like the fact, that someone is so fucking dumb and can't think about other people's time as well. Yes, I felt insulted and ran over, and I still kind of do, because these words that I want to tell him are climbing up to my flesh walls and screaming to be said out loud//written out in the messenger. I know, I know, that none of us acts after the perfect patterns, but cmon, you still should have common sense!.

    So I just waited for him in Café Frens, where I ordered some red tea. You get 3 cups of deliciousness with 20 Estonian Krones!. It is something really not that expensive, and I really love this place!. The atmosphere is swirlingly red, black and few other minimal colors. Smooth jazz echoes back from your own mind, creating breathless moments in your little space, that you have inhabited, when taken a seat in chosen location in this place. Tried to start reading "Dorian Grey Portrait", but failed miserably, since I had so much to observate and think of. So many interesting people coming and going and almost like automatically I started to play a game on my own self, that I am sure many people love to play with themselves or between two-three other people. Think what lives these individuals live, what they like and what is happening in their lives at this moment. And you never know how much you hit the right mark, and this is what makes it all mysterious and enjoyable in your own life. Not knowing how much you read them like books. This is what makes it all one beautiful journey of every being that plays a role in your little games of your mind.

    * * *

    I guess the way I look is eye-catching, even when I don't wear anything particular and I am mingling in my homerooms. Never actually totally cared about the "latest trends", but it does not mean that I don't keep an eye on the Fashion World. The thing is that I don't actually like, and never have, to limit myself. There is constant experimenting, as well just constant "trying-new-things". I take everything that I see that I can add to my collection of Vintage and Retro pieces, and other things, so my own style is even more ME. For long time people wondered how this can be, that I take absolutely idiotic pieces together, put them on and I just wear them out. Simple like that. No problem. Latley, I have started to value that and it helps to grow my still unstable self-esteem. I have naturally curly hair!. I totally loathed them, when I was younger, but people are jealous of it, and damn, I value that as well now and am furious, when they don't hold like I want them to!. x3

    Little L. once told me that I remind of Carrie Bradshaw from Sex & the City TV Series. It surprised me. Then she explained that our hair and sense of style is so similar. This made me blush and think over it, that I never actually took anything from her literally. It was more like, aknowleding something that is so natural for my own self and it gave me inspiration, that it is totally okay to dress like that!. That there is nothing to be worried over!. Her character is like a Mentor in a way!.

    * * *

    Lately I fell in love with Alexander Wang's creations, when I had nothing to watch from the TV several-many days ago at home during another illuminative night howl. It is something that took me, well... breatheless is too little to say. Something to my taste, like totally!.

    The man has born on May 17, 1984. And it gives me more gourage to go for it totally. To get rid of my shyness that I have, to press myself through more with my own style of art!. Take the control in my own hands!. Another person, whom inspires me more than I can knowledge at this moment.

    His minimalistic and simple designs are something that I would wear so damn proudly, for sure!. And at the same time they are so bold and raw, yet maintain this mysterious elegance that pulls me like a magnet.

    His spring collection is so white!. Mixed with tints of rusty golden and brown. And still it all reminds me of Japan or Asian culture, that I adore, deeply hidden in my heart. The edges of the jackets, the free falling-flowing of the materials. Long sleeves of the pullovers just call you to wear them, to embrace the feeling of the sensation, when it touches against your skin. And then there comes blue!. This light seagreen-blue. Baggy kind of pants [I have forgotten the right name, for dammit!.]. Silver!. Shady spots of color that is chosen by the careful, genius eye!. Long pant-costumes. Want!. Want!. Want!. It is like an addiction, and dear Gods, I wish I had money. Just to buy something that is so valuable and not many people understand the value of another artist's work.

    Bags!.
    Intelligent designs, that is must-be-to-have, yet they keep Wang's usual simple tone to it. Simple, and yet intelligent.

    Wang's Tees and Hoodies are... so "mellow". This is the only word to take out of my tired mind at the moment, and it is not meant by the bad way, but by the bestest meaning possible. His work is something for everyday comfortable wearing, and also certainly for those, who have some courage to wear them out.
    His homepage. Go and seek my new favourate!.
    <333
    Alexander Wang


    * * *

    Okay, so much about this. A good friend of mine worked on my nails, by cutting in!. xD But hey, it happens, she is still learning this stuff. I was lazying around her work place today few hours too, then ran to my appointment like a flash of angry and pusling ball, since the cars were everywhere and their speed and poolsplashings got on my nerves rather quickly. Got my stuff done, and soon my other friend was with me!. We roamed around the shops and boutiques, buying stuff with our eyes. Finally finished in the cafeteria, and meeting my other friend, whom studies in Finland. It was so good to see her too!. I miss my little Marie!. <333


    So now I am all home and evereything is so tired in me, but I can't go yet. I need my damn dose of music!. x3

    Substitute People :: One of Them - Me

    Today I felt like talking about this matter[s] of substitute persons and people alike.

    I have always felt that I am one, and when I watched the movie called "Elizabethtown" I found out the writer had written down, and said out loud by the characters, something that I have always thought of, but never said out loud.

    Here are qoutes and little thoughts throughout the internet that I have found so far.
    I have provided the link as well, since I am not the original artist.


    Introduction

    From Little Nuances blog ::

    On one night in the movie, as two main characters [Claire and Drew] are walking through Elizabethtown, she turns to him and says: "You and I have a special talent. And I saw it immediately. We're the substitute people. I've been the substitute person my whole life. I'm not an Ellen. I never wanted to be Ellen. And I'm not Cindy either. Although Chuck's love me. I like being alone too much. I mean, I'm with a guy, who is married to his academic career. I rarely see him and I'm the substitute person there. I like it that way. It's a lot less pressure."

    Who hasn't felt like a substitute person at some point? While being a substitute person does mean that you had to be close enough to the real thing to earn the title of substitute, it also means that you weren't quite good enough, or funny enough, or smart enough, or good-looking enough. And the worst thing about it is—you know it, but since being a substitute person is better than not being in the game, you accept the position.

    But when two people, like Drew and Claire are drawn together, neither has the look or feel of a substitute to one another. Instead, each person becomes the new standard for originality. But originality often leads to an internal struggle between grasping it while one still can and freedom—without which, originals quickly move into the past tense.

    Obviously, a lot of people can relate to Claire's character. I really don't believe Claire when she implies that she likes being a substitute person. She tries to convince Drew, and I'm sure herself, that she likes not feeling needed or in demand all the time during a relationship.

    But if that were really true, she wouldn't have spent the entire night on the phone with Drew. She wouldn't have switched her work schedule so she could be with him as he dealt with his father's death. She wouldn't have shared her dreams, and fears, and insecurities with him. She wouldn't have told him that their first kiss was more intimate than most of the sex she'd had in her life. She wouldn't have made him the travel kit. And she wouldn't have been willing to let him go—hoping that he'd choose to be with her at the end of his journey.

    Nobody wants to be a substitute person. We just claim that the position is acceptable because we're afraid that nobody will ever consider us an original. But along with way, most will consider us substitute people and that's not a knock against them or us. They have an original in mind and for whatever reason—justified or not, we don't live up to it.

    The problem comes when we embrace substitute person status, like Claire did, because embracing it means that we'll never get to see wonder in the other person's eyes as we tell him or her about our theories, our beliefs, our hopes, and our dreams. It means we'll never get that all-knowing, all-understanding hand-squeeze, or look from the person we love that says, "I know exactly what you are thinking or feeling and I want you to know that it means just as much to me as it does to you.

    No matter how much we try to convince ourselves that being a substitute person is better than not being in the game, the seeming cruel and mocking indifference we receive from someone who doesn't consider us an original slowly crushes our will to live a vibrant life. I'd much rather be out living the life I choose right now because it allows me to save my experiences in an emotional place where one day I hope to invite a person who considers me to be her original.


    Deeper Views

    So much for the Introduction part. Let's move on, shall we?.

    "If you watch movies long enough, eventually you'll see your life up on the screen." 
    ~ Roger Ebert, in reviewing the movie Angus.

    From the Joe Guse ::
    This exchange from the movie Elizabethtown truly hit me like a ton of Bricks. This was it. This captured a feeling I’ve had my whole life. I was a substitute person. A second choice. Someone people “settled” for.

    How did this happen? In many ways I’ve lived a spectacular life. I’ve been a comedian on some of the most popular stages in the world, I’ve written books, had wonderful adventures, gotten degrees, and been, generally speaking an outgoing, kind, generous, and compassionate person.

    And yet……… I’ve always felt second best. Always been the guy in the bar walking out with the cleaning crew. The shoulder to cry on, the “friend”, the third wheel, the seat filler, the loner, the single, the guy by himself at the dinner table.

    How does one become a substitute person? Is a substitute person made or are we born? We’re second best because we’ve slowly grown into these roles and now it’s what we think we must deserve. As with many types of pervasive personality patterns, this likely starts in childhood.

    From the Facebook Group ::
    What is a substitute person? They are people that go through life, being there at events or gatherings or are always there for someone, even if they never get noticed, or talked too. This includes friendships, dating relationships, or engagements sometimes. People can even call you friends but in the end, they don't really know you, just cause they don't take the time "to" know you. But for us, most of the time, that is alright. Cause were there if they need us.


    What I Felt...
    ...going through all this?.

    When I read many people talking about how they are as the same as I am, then it cut through me like I was a simple butter. This is no easy life for us, the Substitute People, but we survive, somehow.

    It did start for me in the childhood. When my a year younger biological brother was born. He was ill, very ill, but I felt like pushed aside. I still do and there is nothing I can change about it. I can't make people think or feel in different way that they really are. It is not fair, and I have never pushed them to do what they really feel like shouldn't. They make their own decisions, as I make my own. And if someone takes it away, it is actually unwritten law, a real criminal act, barriering someone's freedom of choice.

    Even though I am the older child, I still get the "left overs" from my brother, since he gets everything first. The first red bike. The first cd-player. The first mp3-player. The first choice. The first... and I just get what is left of it. Of course this is what the life brings us, we just need to swallow and move on.

    "They are the sidekicks, the loyal friends, the fans, and the men and women behind the scenes." 
    ~ Joe Guse

    And some people just fantasize being one. Yes, do that, but you never know what it really means to actually be one, be one to the end of your deepest core.

    Ignorance

    There is a room, where the light bulb has gotten dirty.
    The light shines with murky illumination, distracting flies
    from their landing trajectory. This way they never
    can burn themselves. They never lose their ignorance.

    Bleak trees lick the windless desert, behind these
    high windows, that angry voice of obedience has
    shattered every square of glass. The everlasting
    storm finally have stopped. Stopped screaming.

    The hallow silence remains inside. Is there ever end
    to this malady that grows on the walls?. Spreading its
    black roots, digging deeper in the living,
    that only I can water from this delicious starvation.

    Where is this bed with this ever sleeping corpse?.
    Where is this bed where lays a woman, grief dripping
    out from that cracked skin?. Drop by drop, the blanket
    of blood is being poured out. To the floor. To the floor,
    covered with scribbled words from echoes.

    Soundless, endless fall. 
    The ever lasting storm has finally stopped 
    just so it all could start from the beginning once again...

    Thorns & More Poison

    Seems that there is no chance to trust anyone truly, nor to open up to someone. And I am in the middle of two sides of mine self. To tell him that he betrayed my trust, or just... not. Though there is third choice as well. To make him tell me, that he... hurt me by just telling what I asked him not to.

    I don't call them my friends like this. This is not... right, by in many means. If someone has asked me to keep something, and I am confronted like he was. I prefer to die, than brake that promise made. I can't. I just can't tell. It is against the code that I am living. The code of honor and pride. The code of a knight, a warrior.

    People tend not to know the true meaning of a promise, it seems. I just... don't understand them. I just want to disappear. Go away from the society. Stay away from it as much as possible, but I know... that I am not ready for that just yet.

    Friday, October 8, 2010

    I still haven't cried, for about seven days. I feel it... how it all... gathers inside of me. The silent screams are mixed with those tears of darkness and pain. But I know, that crying makes it all better, easier, lighter... but I can't... just somehow I am not able to lately.

    There has been only one tear. One cold tear on my warm human skin. I don't know if anyone ever sees this in me... I don't want others to worry about me. I don't want to burden them, and yet... they protect me. Care for me. I... I don't understand why?.

    Most of the times, animes help. They really help, but when there is something familiar to my own self, it is harder and I feel something, I hear something, crashing inside of me. Inside the depth, where no one else can see but me.

    Yet there are people, who feel the same that I do. The screaming. The... feeling that you can't name by any name and in no language. I take a deep breathe and try to move on, worrying myself sick over one of my closest friends.

    I don't know where I stand at this moment, there is too much going on, and still nothing...

    Familiar Taste of Poison


    Every day I wake up with sore body. There are thousand acid needles throbbing in my head. The pain is constant and never leaves me behind. It is like living hell...

    ... and lately it has been hard. Emotionally. These drowning and down periods//moments come and go as they please. Mostly they are available, when I stumble over my own rotting spots.

    Yesterday I spoke with Kai, and he finally asked from me :: "You have something on your heart too, Sister?. Yes?."
    I asked back, surprised that he noticed anything at all :: "How did you figure?."
    He explained :: "I have felt it for some time now. I just wasn't sure to ask. I thought it would be unpolite."
    [Though, I can't recall the exact wording, but it is the meaning that matters, right?. Right.]
    And then we talked, some time... and it still isn't easier for me... the burden is not lighter. I keep wandering, how I can make it better... but the answers keep running away from me, leaving me on the shore of the sea of death.

    Often, when I need to go outside and meet someone, hang out and have a good time, and during that time there is something going on, or that I am just gone with my own self, then I pull up this beautiful and happy and joyful facade, a mask that never lets anything through, and no one understands, no one sees that something is awfully wrong. There are very few people, who can dial it up, when they see me. They detect the pain from my eyes, even though these are one part that I can't control. Then I avoid looking into theirs. And one or two from these few feel it in my voice. It has no understanding in my mind. I try, I try my fucking best to hide it. But I guess the most precious, the bestest people around me, whom have known me quite a time, just know... well enough, when something is off. I just would like to shut that part off too, so they wouldn't feel burdened, maybe. I don't really... I just.... blah.

    And I have this going with me, when I am down, then I just don't let anyone, and I mean anyone, touch me nor hug me. I just don't want them to see that I can be weak too. I just can't let them. Because there is no room for pity nor any other similar emotion nor act. If you don't understand, then fuck off. Seriously. If you don't have any advice, then you can fuck off even harder. I don't have time for this drama that some can pull off, if I refuse from their affection. Kai asked me once, a while back, when we talked about this, that what I would do, when he'd hug me suddenly like this. I said simply and with a slight pout that I fight back to get free. No touchy!. But then he kept going, and asked again, what I'd do if he would not let go. After a pause I just said giving up, that I just would calm down a little and let you hug me.

    *Sigh.*
    There is one thing, one energy, one emotion that I am most afraid of, and yet it is the second thing beside Death that I long for, crave for, desire for. People know it as Love. I am so afraid of it, that I just push every possible seed away, when there is any kind of chance, that someone feels the same about me as I feel about him//her. It pulls my all insides out and leave a shell behind, laying on the ground with no blood, but just soil. Rain dropping down, and yet never giving any water to the drought that I have in this landscape. I push people away, when they get too close to me. And then I run.

    I.

    Just.

    Run.

    And when I see couples. In the past I wanted to rip them both apart. Into little pieces. Just because I was jealous. But I learned to live with it, learned to honor the commitmet of relationships, and the jealousy disappeared. I feel happy for them, and yet from time to time, there is this tiny little dagger, making my soul sting alongside with my small sized human heart. The Spring is the most painful time, Summer is okay. I hide myself away from the world, and yet...

    I still keep running, no matter what, until there comes wall on my way. Maybe this can stop me, for once.

    For A Person, Whom Is Uknown To Others

    I don't know why, but the moment, when you went to sleep, I feel empty. You can make a person to smile instantly and it is good. Maybe I shouldn't say these words, but I feel a need to place them and write them out.

    We are allowed to hope, right?. But then why I say myself that it is wrong to feel like that?. Desparately looking for someone, whom just... care for and about me as I care about him//her. It drives me insane, mad and angry that I keep torturing myself. Waiting does not help. Searching does not help. And here I am standing on the crossroad and just lurking in the shadows for fake dreams, that I manage to build up...

    ...but I can't help what I feel. Am I played with?. Or am I just playing with my own self?. So many questions and no more answers. If there was only a muse for me, maybe I could write again as I did few years ago. I know I can, but there is this big hole inside of me that makes me want to drop down and just...

    ...give up.

    * * *

    But thank you, my dear friend, for bringing smile on my lips and blush on my cheeks. Talking to you just makes me feel good. Just like I make you feel good, when you talk to me. Maybe we just have a good connection, who knows. (: I hope that you sleep well, and it has been few hours since I told that I will go to sleep soon. I will... Just... there are things to think about, and... yeah. I will go to sleep soon, and I hope that you have nice dreams and you rest well.

    This is a silent burn....

    Never is too late to pray...


    The day is filled with something
    that you quite can't speak of.
    Are they shadows from the dreams,
    where the highway was nothing
    but empty
    with one ghostly car
    roaming over the desert
    that lays on both side of the road?.
    Or was it certain someone from the past,
    now without any kind of possibility
    to claim back his face?.

    I do not have answers for you.
    Pass on and leave me
    all alone
    in this sandstorm.
    Catching last breathes,
    when I drown into the lake of desires.

    Straight Line Stitch :: Black Veil

    Armed with an unstoppable work ethic and a musical vocabulary that stretches from face-ripping metal to soulful, stratospheric rock, Knoxville, TN, quintet STRAIGHT LINE STITCH are poised to grab heavy music by the horns with their Raging Nation/KOCH Records debut, When Skies Wash Ashore. Though just 11 tracks in length, the album packs more dynamics and diversity than many bands’ entire catalogs. Not surprising, then, that the five individuals that make up STRAIGHT LINE STITCH have spent a lifetime honing their craft to reach this point.

    Technically speaking, the STRAIGHT LINE STITCH story begins nine years, a handful of lineup changes, and two early releases (a demo EP and album, to be exact) ago. However, to understand the force that is STRAIGHT LINE STITCH today, simply fast-forward to 2003, when vocalist Alexis Brown joined the band. Though without formal training (recent screaming lessons from vocal coach Melissa Cross aside), Brown completed SLS’ sound with a multi-octave, multifaceted approach that could be snarling and guttural one moment, angelic and ethereal the next. Making her recorded debut on SLS’ second full-length, 2006’s self-released To Be Godlike, Brown defied gender and genre alike to emerge as one of the most promising vocalists, period, in modern heavy music.

    Despite being followed by a few final lineup shifts, To Be Godlike cemented SLS’ core sound and generated a key partnership between the band and Raging Nation Films’ Dale “Rage” Resteghini.

    Jesca Hoop :: Money



     Jesca Ada Hoop is a American singer-songwriter and guitarist from Northern California, who performs music that covers differing genres. Her musical mentor has been Tom Waits.

    One of five children in a fifth generation Mormon couple, Hoop was steeped in a musical environment created by her family. She began performing as a child and starred in her high school choir.

    Hoop broke away from the strictures of Mormonism just as her parents were separating. During this time, her mother Janette turned the basement into a theatre, and brought in all sorts of eccentrics to rehearse and put on musical plays for the community.

    Jesca started to rebel against the traditions of her family and the only life she had known. “My girlfriend and I started smoking pot, which was such an out there thing for me to do given my upbringing. I was singing with the Santa Rosa Chamber Choir at that time. The combination of singing in that style for hours a day and smoking thrashed my voice…until it was gone. I had to leave the choir, and it took me about a year to regain my vocal strength. I had to re-teach myself how to sing in the ways that worked for me… Cut a new pattern and stitch myself back together. It was a blessing. It is why I sing the way I do. Appropriately, at that time I started listening to Kate Bush, Tom Waits, Björk and Diamanda Galas.”

    VAST :: Pretty When You Cry



    VAST stands for Visual Audio Sensory Theater, and is the brainchild of Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter and musician Jon Crosby.

    The musical outfit began in rather minimalist fashion when Jon was only sixteen, with the other members of the outfit being a drum machine and a bass player.

    Their real rise to fame began when a local radio station granted consistent air-time to their demo tape, after which Crosby sent demo tapes to New York City recording companies, eventually signing with Elektra Records. Thomas Froggatt, Steve Clark, and Rowan Robertson made up the hastily-assembled band along with Crosby.

    Potion for the Healthy...

    Eh. The days go in a daze. The nights go in a darkness, when I take the pill. It is yet always different. There might be fear, or just joy of grotesque, that only I can enjoy since it all is in my mind...

    I am awake. Wide awake, yet still shaking like an autumn leaf and feel like floating on the surface. No chance of drowning, I do not have time for this. And yet... "time" is just a concept. But you have to hold a grip onto it, since you still need to survive in this god damn society. With or without sanity. It does not matter.

    Not for you at least. 
    Because you just go with all of the stupid commerces and mass that roams around the most expensive streets, not knowing whom is moving them like bullets or just some chess pieces.

    Mmm... bullets. They are something like... occasional obsession. 

    I am... a bullet.

    28.September.2010

     Listening to White Lie's "To Lose My Life 4 Play". It fascinates me more and more with every time, every minute, every second. And they speak about the subject that is so serious to most. Death. But.

    Death is something part of everything, and people view it rather... wrongly, if I may say?. Yet we all have our own opinions and whom is to judge that?. No one. No one, since control is in YOUR hands. Others can't make your choices for you, since they are not living your life. No one. Not even your parents, nor husband, nor the one whom you love more than your own life... Life. It makes me laugh and amuses me. Is it alright to pray for the future that might not even come since you just make wrong decisions?. Whom is to... and there are going, my thoughts falling off from their path. Even I get lost into my own mind, and it may become a nightmare or just an amazing adventure.

    I am alright. I am. I am.
    At least this is what I tell to myself everyday, secretly.
    I am alright. I am alright. I am...

    26. September. 2010

    The clock is turning to afternoon, and here I am, refusing to go out from my own room. Refusing to eat, even. Refusing to go to the bathroom or outside to drink fresh air and smoke one, or maybe more than this one, cigarette.

    But I know... that I will not win this battle. My hunger is bigger than me, and my body tends to move on its own, when the mind is on the maze, where I manage to get myself lost perfectly well.

    And here I am... hearing how they are placing the cups and spoons and sugar on the living room's table. Is someone coming to visit?. Or are they just drinking this super sweet and strong wine, what's taste I can only imagine, since my stomach is not ready for any kind of alcohol. As much as I would love to. As much as I would love to drink and disappear into the hole of no bottom and distress, that sometimes happens, when the daze is gone and I get sober again.

    There is like... this something crawling inside of my own self. On these walls that we call flesh, nerves and many other possible names to name the functions of human body.

    Here I am... caught in the net of my own delusions.
