When Desire Shadows Necessity

When Desire Shadows Necessity 7/6/04
Mammoths of men stomp on us all
Tiny fragile people with gigantic husks
Bearing down on those with passion still in mind
But we too can bring blood forth
It is a hunger alive even in those who feast

Man must kill other men
Man must rape his women
Man must dine on the flesh of his foes
It is nature’s law
For MAN MUST WIN

Necessity is relative
But still we’re driven to compete
Everyone needs but only half receive
The other half laughs from their dungthrone
Golden piles of nothingness
Yet when we die there are no winners

I’m tired of seeing others losing
We know what THIS tiny man must do
For it is my time to pave us even

NEW POLL! vote please

yes, I ended the poll early, because nobody has been able to friend me (how sad) and we can’t have that happening.

I shall pose as a poser...how original! =D

Joy, insomnia is here again. At least this time around I didn’t have heart burn because I have finally found me some Tums. Yes, I know, kids aren’t supposed to have heart burn problems, but I’ve had serious heartburn shit since I was 2 or 3, so...yeah, sucks for me, hopefully my throat gives AFTER I’ve had a nice career singing.

In other news, I’ve decided I’m gonna cut assholes off at the pass so they can’t start bothering me for wearing makeup and black clothing but lacking piercings (which would make me a "poser" or "new to the scene"). I’m just gonna pose as a poser, which should be the only way to stop them from insulting me.

Hmmm, that was random, but more intelligent than you usually will hear from me at 3AM (unless you’re KK, in which case I can always speak in novels).

Pet

Don’t fret precious I’m here
Step away from the window
Go...back to sleep...

Lay your head down child
I won’t let the boogieman come
Count the bodies like sheep
To the rhythm of the war drums
Pay no mind to the rebel
Pay no mind to the rebel
Head down go to sleep
To the rhythm of the war drums

Pay no mind what other voices say
They don’t care about you like I do
Safe from pain, and truth and choice
And other poison devils
Said they don’t give a fuck about you like I do
Just stay with me, safe and ignorant
Go back to sleep, go back to sleep

Lay your head down child
I won’t let the boogieman come
Count the bodies like sheep
To the rhythm of the war drums
Pay no mind to the rebel
Pay no mind to the rebel
Head down go to sleep
To the rhythm of the war drums

I’ll be the one to protect you from
Your enemies and all your demons
I’ll be the one
A will to survive and a voice of reason
I’ll be the one
Your enemies and your choices son
Are one and the same and they’ll isolate you
Isolate and save you from yourself

Sleep to the rhythm of the new world ordering
Counting bodies like sheep to the rhythm of the war drums
The boogiemen are coming, the boogiemen are coming
Keep your head down go to sleep to the rhythm of the war drums

Stay with me
Safe and ignorant
Just stay with me
I’ll be the one to protect you from
The other ones
The evil ones
They’ll love you son
Go back to sleep

She was divinity’s creature that kissed in cold mirrors, a queen of snow

Hello my name is Ben and I’m an insomniac

Last night insomnia caught up with me after a number of months of lying dormant.

Now I feel like shit. I fell asleep (on purpose, and she knew it) on the phone with Kaeley. I just, yeah...:( I’m feeling lame/slow/disabled today.

It sucks.

It’s one of those sorta things that you’re so powerless over that you feel like you want to die because you know it’ll always be there when you need it least.

This song is...FUN! =D

Static-X- Kill Your Idols
Cosmetic photogenic
This pain is fleeting, ring out
Mechanical the passion
Your head is bleeding, slow down

Can’t keep doing this
What you want me to
Marching sheep herd said
See my broken head

Live your own life
I’ve got myself
Out of my sight
Kill your idols
Live your own life
I’ve got myself
Out of my sight
Kill your idols

It’s ugly you see
I don’t care what you think now
Forgive me, forget
Don’t take the easy way out

Can’t keep doing this
What you want me to
Marching sheep herd said
See my broken head

Live your own life
I’ve got myself
Out of my sight
Kill your idols
Live your own life
I’ve got myself
Out of my sight
Kill your idols

~St. Ben

You’ve just gotta sit yourself down to contemplate, get yourself a nice cold beer and drink yourself away

"You’re celebrating nothing, and you feel a-okay"

That song (Filter- Welcome to the Fold) perfectly demonstrates KK’s family ("you got your jesus" and then the references to getting drunk for no reason at all =D) but kk herself is pretty good about staying non-christian and sober :)

It’s been a few days since I’ve made an entry on melo.

St. Ben still has nearly nothing to say, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t wanna make a new entry =p

That will be all, thank you.

Leper Friend

If you can tell me who this song is by you rock and will receive my last touch of the day

Pretty faces pretty hip
Bodies hang to drain and drip
So submit and let’s pretend
You’re not a hollow charlatan

Velcro whores they fill the street
Infecting everyone they meet
The hourglass is karma’s curse
Each grain of sand’s a universe

Laser beams and cattle prods
Sacrifices for the gods
Divinities, orgasmic hymns
Will fuck you with prosthetic limbs

As ulcerations form
They soon know they will lose fingers and toes
Swollen ends and bloody gauze
Curse us all

I watched you suffer
For so long it seems
Somehow I looked the other way
I watched you fall apart
Like my leper friend
And somehow I looked the other way


An outcast deprived of festal joy
Prostration
It seems is here to stay

My limbless friend will die alone
A torso of flesh upon the throne
My limbless friend will die alone
A torso of flesh

The cure for clinical depression is a lobotomy

My limbless friend will die alone
A torso of flesh upon the throne
My limbless friend will die alone
A torso of flesh upon the throne

I watched you fall apart
Like my leper friend
Somehow I looked the other way
I watched you suffer
For so long it seems
And somehow I looked the other way

I want to make an entry show in recent updates but melo’s a fascist sometimes

The contents of this post will become available after the final migration. Sorry for the inconvenience.

I think she’s falling out of love...all of the flowers I gave her--she burned them

Another new poem of mine, it’s not one of my finer works, as I was enraged when it was written...but that’s unimportant, I want to share it with you.

A Brief Afterthought 6/16/04
What will release me
From these boundaries I’ve imposed
A war inside my head
Thoughts clash and senses kill
How much longer must I die

Blame me...stab me
Find a tender spot and dig in
Empy the host and kill the spawn
Butcher the weak

Prophetic weapons are all I have
Heretics easily grab the spotlight
I guess my thoughts have strayed
Give away all I ever had
Just to make a wasteful point

Even I don’t understand
This gnarled path I tread
Why can’t I meet expectations
I function: zero production
I serve no obvious purpose
Gather ’round to see, hurry
Maybe it’s a source of comfort
To know you have it better
I will laugh loud some day
From atop my lofty heights
(At least if I can bring myself to live that long)

new entry, but it didn’t show up in recent updates, read below

losing is my favorite sport

Mom’s letting me use the computer tonight. I’m worried that she’s never gonna be able to go through with her enforcement of the rules. It’s only for tonight because I’m home alone all night and wouldn’t have anything to do otherwise, but regardless, it’s just a little concerning.

I know I should be happy but I’m kinda confused...mom says punishment won’t improve my grades and it’s just for tonight, but that doesn’t mean I should get to do whatever the hell I want. (I didn’t ask her for it, she offered it to me).

It’s like...I dunno, if my dad finds out mom’s not "doing her job" in the traditional sense of it, he’s so gonna try and get me back in his house, and I hate him. If I return, somebody’s gonna get roughed up and it’s probably gonna be me.

So, needless to say, the best thing to do is share a new poem of mine with ya! =D

Messianic Delusional 6/14/04
If I threw myself upon your walls
Hung my image above your beds
Implanted my name on your children’s tongues

I could be the new dopewhite god
If you’d only let me in
I could be a posterboy saint
Once jesus kindly steps aside
And your bleached masses part like the Red Sea before me

This is the flavor of ash
Pulled from my corrosive chest
Always morbid in our lusts
The eyes of vanity call out to you

Once again, faults are lessons
But our minds hate learning
And mine shall consume the sea of thought

Drink ’til it’s dry and motion for more

Suddenly my muse is uninspiring
I the behemoth no longer trample
...the cycle of martyrdom is fulfilled
________________________
I know it’s not one of my better poems but yeah, I’ll be sharing a few more with you later on this evening.

Bleeding Through wins

Well the final punishment for all this crap with the grades is a week sans internet (That means without, kids). So yes, until next Friday I’m gonna be unable to talk to you unless you feel like calling me (I’ll make a friends only entry with my phone # if you feel like you really need to make contact).

But once next friday comes, I’m home alone for 8 days =D

No parties or anything like that, but I’m gonna see some new friends I made recently and I’m gonna be online more than usual. I know this isn’t a deep or particularly interesting entry but I felt the need to let you guys know I’m gonna be out, so don’t think I’m dead or anything, I just got bad grades =p

ahhh nostalgia..."beautiful air conditioned sitting in the kitchen wishing I was living with a hitman"

I’m listening to the song Hotwax by Beck...dude, I remember listening to this song with my mom and little sister on family road trips and all of us singing (to the tune of jingle bells) "I get down, I get down, I get down all the way"

Oh how hilarious and bizarre my memory is....sorry, I just felt like sharing my random moment with all of y’all. (Yes I did once live in the south so nobody get on my case for stealing your humiliating psuedo redneck--or Fred Durst-styled-- slang).

ya know, it’s kinda fun looking at year old photos of yourself



That was taken right before I walked onstage at my only real musical performance...I did my best to assert my devotion to goth/metal music because the other kids were all pop or radio rockers, and we did 3 pop-rock cover songs *sighs*

the setlist was:

Blink 182- Adam’s Song
Michael Jackson- Beat It (instrumental because I don’t go that high)
Blur- Song 2 perhaps the greatest radio song ever. =D


note the WAY too short hair

Maybe I need to ease off...damn

Sorry about that last entry, I’m just in a total state of fear/shock/upset.

Mom’s a little less angry than I thought but yeah...I hate being a drama queen (Even if I am a guy, it is definitely queen in this case)

Sorry....I’m still upset but sorry

grades...? *kills self*

Wow, final grades came in today. 3 Ds out of 6 grades. That was quarter, at least.

Semester averages were a little better, two C+s and a C- but still...my entire semester gpa is a 2.8...no better than freshman and sophomore years. I thought I was doing so much better but no...I fucked up again.

My mother said it best herself "you may as well go out in the yard and fucking shoot yourself in the head right now"

how ironic she bought herself an air pistol last night (it uses CO2 cartridges to shoot little pellet things)

hmmm...I’m not the brightest crayon in the box...I’m actually the chewed on rainbow-melted one

As is typical of my conversation things, I’m gonna use funky HTML things instead of putting in a color or whatever..

italics=Holmes/The Halester

whats up?
dude, it’s been a year with KK
that’s kinda scary
at least I think so...
whoa, something even scarier, there’s a little picture next to your username o.o
it’s like an eyeball on a stand

youve been together for a friggin year?
dayum

yeah I know
its me
you’re an eyeball on a stand?
I don’t mean the user picture
it’s like a funny little MSN image thingy next to the username right above the scrollbar
oh nevermind XD
I moved my mouse over it (in hopes it would dance or something) and it said "click to view contact’s webcam"

I’m listening to Deep Purple

wow, how musically knowledgeable do I appear to be NOW?


it’s a classic rock group for those who don’t know, they do the song Smoke on the Water. In my opinion the music’s only mediocre at best but whatever, I found a live version of the aforementioned track so I figured I might as well give it a listen =D

get ready to help me and kk celebrate by giving our melos touches!!! =D MWAHAHA

*checks watch*

in about 5 hours 40 minutes (since the actual time is 6:20, not 5:22 as the melo clock is telling me) it’ll be the year anniversary of me and Kaeley being together



clap for us and touch not only this melo, but the melos of fairygardenome and beloved_loser as those are the other two anniversary celebrating melos =D

the contenders...=D VOTE MEIN KINDER!

Well now we have 5 more lovely groups to choose from

Beck
The Blank Theory
Bleeding Through
Blind Guardian

Most Precious Blood- Sincerely (lyrics may be a bit off, due to my personal interpretations)

This sin in my heart
Will tear us apart
There’s sin in my heart
Love will tear us apart

Happiness is solitude
When there’s no one left to depend on
I walked a thousand miles to realize
And so will you, so will you

Kill me...tell me
When everything falls apart
Kill me...tell me
Try and break this cold heart
Kill me...tell me
Your torment will never end
Kill me...tell me
What are we thinking?

yeah, no comment, this just reflects my current state of mind so well I had to share it

*sings like that mediocre but catchy U2 song* oooh the sweetest thing =p

The sweetest thing ever...maybe.

My girlfriend is adorabubble.

Well, now we can add kidnapping to the list of fucked up things I want to do.

Dude, KK’s mom wants to move their whole family on down to South Carolina. She so would struggle down there in religion-land.

My proposition: if her mom is pinheaded enough to hoist a "goth" child into a conservative area, she’s probably pinheaded enough to let the child get "accidentally" kidnapped by her own boyfriend, so she can live with me. Mwahaha.

Seriously though, I refuse to let Kaeley live in such a bleak place. True, Connecticut is bleak as far as weather goes, but at least she’ll be happy once I move up there. I am so not moving to SC for college. So...there’s no question as to what we’re gonna do. We’re keeping her in CT one way or another.
