runnin' round in circles

Here's the side project I've been working on for a friend.

we are collateral damage

We've launched a new site. It features the work of a bunch of amazingly talented people who are looking for new jobs. So check out the site and spread it around. Thanks!

Wonderful Lies

Words are powerful. Words can hurt but they can also heal. Words can be used with the best intentions and yet can be misinterpreted to cause the worst kind of pain. But I love the power of words. It's why I'm a lyric junkie. It's why I write. And it's also why I tend to overanalyze and worry. Because words are powerful, even when they don't mean to be.

Wonderful Lies

What a wonderful web of lies you weave
An intricate, beautiful web of lies
And you have me tangled up so tight that
I've been holding onto hope, believing it's disguise

It's the perfect web of words you've cast
Words that drew me in and kept me coming back
And no matter how much I try and fight them
It's the words that keep me in your trap

But your wonderful web was woven too well
So well in fact that you've tangled yourself
Because you believe your words, that your lies are true
And now we're both stuck wondering what to do

The web is unraveling and soon I'll be free
But the damage is done, the words of deceit
Have caused me to suffer the worst kind of pain
For they made me love you and then took that away

When I escape this web of wonderful lies
There's no turning back, it'll be in our past
For I no longer trust your beautiful words
I no longer trust your intentions are good

But your wonderful web won't be our demise
For we will both recover and move on with our lives
We will both spin new webs and get tangled inside
And those new webs won't be woven of wonderful lies

Stan is Adorably Awesome

Stan is back in this new poster design. Technically it's Marcus' birthday celebration and not Stan's, but I wasn't sure how to go about giving a ninja dreads. Ha.

Genius

I love iTunes genius. And below is why. I haven't heard this song in forever. I had forgotten I even owned it. But it came up on genius. And right now, it's perfect. It also includes one of my favorite lyrics of all time: "Smiling through denial, my specialty." It's Lou Barlow's Legendary. Enjoy.


I know you've given all that you could give to me
I know there'll come a day I understand
Until then I'll be trying to solve your mystery
And wonder why I couldn't make you stay

Smiling through denial, my specialty
I thought that was a good thing for a while
You gave me all your secrets were you testing me?
How could I do anything but smile?

Re-enact your legendary tragedy
And do to me what has been done to you
Is that the only point to all this misery?
Is there any reason I should cry?

Heal – takes time
And you gave me all you had
I know in time, I will believe
That I loved you
Did you love me?
Did you love me?

Heal – it takes time
And you gave me all you had
I know in time, I will believe
That I loved you
You loved me
You loved me.

To-Do List

I have a pretty long list of words I want to doodle up into awesomeness, but I also have very little time to do them all. Anyway, here's a partial list of what's to (hopefully) come. 

Living in limbo isn't as fun as it sounds. 

One ticket to someday please. 

I understand the reasons.

I disagree with the logic. 

Cats and air furniture don't mix.

A bad day can only last 24 hours. 

You're the lesson I've always refused to learn. 

I found my rock when I looked in the mirror.

"SHIT! ASS! FUCK!!!"

"Dont yell."

"shit. ass. fuck."

Music is what feelings sound like.

When life gives you lemons, make lemonade.

When life feels like a rollercoaster, go ride one.

Relationships are stupid and crazy all mixed together in a fucking cocktail.

Even the worst beer is still beer.

We're Only Human

Just felt like posting some song lyrics I'm really feeling right now. From "Human" by Jon McLaughlin.

"Can you tell me how we got in this situation? I can't seem to get you off my mind. All these ups and downs, they trip up our good intentions. Nobody said this was an easy ride. After all we're only human - always fighting what we're feeling, hurt instead of healing. After all we're only human. Is there any other reason why we stay instead of leaving? After all."


Have a good Monday everyone!
