In Ink Please [Thursday,April 09 2009 @ 9:10pm] Debating getting some new tattoos... But the hard part is I cant draw worth anything. So I would have to try to find an artist that can do some of the stuff I want to do. I am also thinking that I might need to find myself a female inker since a lot of the stuff I want to do is a tad girlish, cause I think I would feel weird getting my hips done by a male artists or like my wrists or I have toyed around with the stocking seam idea. I always wanted the quote "Love Just Like Blood Will Always Stain" by Tilly And The Wall. I think it would be in some kind of a script sort of style. I want my sleeves to showcase various styles of artwork, lSpawn, Anime, Kurt Halsey and some of my own. I have always wanted to get some famous tattoo artists to do something and then sign it, such as anyone from LA Ink (even if it will be expensive, it will be an amazing experience) and since I grew up listening to his lengendary metalcore vocals, I really want something done by Daniel Weyandt. Id like to mix a ton of cultures and styles from something adorable and twee influences, to darker images and even some religous elements. Another thing thats sort of come to my mind and I dont know why, but it would be on my sleeve and it would be a girl with her head turn to the side and she would have a polka dot headband with ribbons attached and they would be flowing down around her shoulders, and she would have like cats eye glasses, and like a vintage polka dot dress. I guess that it the kind of girl I always wanted to meet too. I Need it's noises in my ears

Wishes Beneath The City [Friday,May 25 2007 @ 3:55pm] Phones seldom pick up on what you called them for, never providing the answer you were searching for, while a machine calculates and decides what grants a proper response. messages go unnoticed and failed to be seen. Information becomes outdated and lost on the ears that fail to offer any kind of reply. A conversation relies on the conviction of the message being relayed back and forth within the conversation. As things start to fall victim to circumstance it's hard to find a reason to even expect a call or response. Words don't always have double meanings, some times they are what they are and should be taken at face value, and their body language will give way to what's beneath the skin. Good intentions never intend to go bad, when they are only trying to offer a break from the daily grind, that wears us down from day to day. I Need it's noises in my ears

[Friday,April 13 2007 @ 3:48pm] This entry is already outdated: Last Friday was the Joy Electric show. I was really excited in spite of going alone. I have always wondered how Ronnie Martin performs his live show. I got there during "Foxglove Hunt" and Ronnie was playing drums, so that was cool. I bought some merch and just kind of hung out by myself. It was a really small show maybe 40 people where there, and I just felt like that shy awkward girl who never belongs any where. It was lame cause the whole time I kept trying to get the courage up to ask Ronnie if I could cover his song "Nikola Tesla" on one of my upcoming records. After "Kissing Cousins" (who were okay but I didnt stay and watch them)Ronnie and the guitarist/singer of "Foxglove Hunt/Fine China" came on to do the Joy Electric stuff... 01 - Colours In Dutch 02 - Frivolity 03 - Shefiled Youth 04 - Matahorn 05 - The Memory Of Alpha 06 - Red Will Dye These Hills Of Silver 07 - The Harsh Effects Of Time(Bros Martin) 08 - Fears To Remember (Bros Martin) 09 - Most Terrible Archer 10 - Unknown New Song 11 - Ushering In Of The Magical Era 12 - Monosynth 13 - Quite Quieter Than Spiders After the show I was like the last to leave, cause my mom was stuck on the highway some where, but it was really cool cause I was walking around and Ronnie engaged me in conversation and it was really cool. Still didnt have the guts to bring up the cover though As far as my band is going "A Candlelight Vigil" I am never sure about whats going on. At this point I have sent tons of content to the other half, but the last few weeks I havent run into him online, so the balls in his court. It sort of sucks cause we got asked to do a "Late B.P Helium" song called "Rabbit Ears" for a complation, and thats been run by Bryan and he sounds excited cause of what he heard we did with "She's A Rejecter" Also for you "Tullycraft" fans we were given permission to do "Building The Robot" and if they like it they will put ip on their page for us. So we have a fan base, and some indie famous support. 4 I need the smell of Summer I Need it's noises in my ears

[Sunday,March 04 2007 @ 7:37pm] I just wanna fall in love... 2 I need the smell of Summer I Need it's noises in my ears

[Monday,February 26 2007 @ 1:45am] I feel like I am making a comeback... I am going to go turn in a application at "Bath And Body Works" tomorrow, fingers crossed, it's within walking distance and its one of the only jobs I ever really enjoyed. I am also going to pick up a ton of applications all within walking distance, not having a car is really tough, there has been so many instances this week when I really needed either a car or money. It is time to come out of retirement. To quote Conor Oberst "Id rather be working for a paycheek, then waiting to win the lottery" Though he was talking about relationships, I am going to take its litteral meaning in mind. Parents say if I start saving for insurence they will probably provide the car. It would be nice if everyone kept me in their prayers or at lest sent some good vibes my way all week, while I am out in the heat getting turned down left and right. I Need it's noises in my ears

[Monday,February 19 2007 @ 3:26am] [ mood | awake ] I couldnt sleep at all tonight... I couldnt help but think of you and how time can erase even the tightest of bonds. 3 I need the smell of Summer I Need it's noises in my ears

[Friday,February 16 2007 @ 5:03am] [ mood | creative ] I really want a new layout... But deffently something just as cute. I am not sure what it is about this one that I dont like, maybe the way the entires are laid out. Though I love all the font sizes and comment titles. So I dont want that to go away if i change the layout. I wish I knew more about live journal, I never had to deal with all this on Xanga. Some one come in and fix this up for me. On to more pressing issues, I have had two offers to start up some musical collaborations, which is amazing cause I could use a project to throw myself into untill I find a job and get back on my feet. I am not sure what all I get to write or have a say in, but I deffiently have some ideas going for it. I want a project with the band names "A Candlelight Vigil" & "Schoolyard Belles" They both give off an indie vibe, the later lends a female touch, while the previous title could be just about anything with some deep meaning and rich storyline. Though I am not sure where they will go or what will become of them. I am a big fan of "covers" and I am not sure why, cause its pretty much taking a previous song and doing it. I have always tried thinking about them in whole a new light. Since I do a lot of concept albums, I thought it be pretty cool to take a song of some one elses that would normally not fit a story, and put it on an album and have it magically work with the story line, that way the cover advances the story line and is used in a new way. Also if I am going to cover a song, I want to capture it in a new style and if its a hardcore song I want to make it acoustic, if its acoustic I might try and make it ska, that way its also dont with a new twist. The covers I have in mind at the moment... Anything off "Hissing Fauna, Are You The Destroyer" done acoustic, but I fear the basslines. Tilly and the Wall's "Let It Rain" or "I Always Knew" - I can do "I Always Knew" on keyboard plus when the cover gets done, I know how to get a hold of Kianna to share it with her, with fingers crossed she dosnt hate it. I have done a really cool version of "Whispers Of A Long Goodnight" by The Lyndsay Diaries, with bass chords that sounds really nice, too bad I forgot how to play it that way. Then I want to pick an obscure band, sort of like Of Montreal's cover of "Tropical Iceland" by The Fiery Furnaces, but either do "I'm In No Mood" or do A Paper Chase song....which will be really scary to try and do, I am thinking that the trick of that is finding one thats less morbid than the rest. I am in a mood to start up something thats for sure. I Need it's noises in my ears

[Tuesday,February 13 2007 @ 10:10am] [ mood | bitchy ] So things have been off with me lately I went to try and figure things out, but every time I try I always end up more confused than when I started. It's like my life is a bunch of Catch-22's and nothing is budging or at lest lossening up to where I cant make progress. Id throw myself into a musical project, but I am more a collaborator than I am a musician/or song writer. So I depend on people who sing and play guitar. Then I have to hope that they can do anything with my content or stories. I need to show my friend that just cause we arent doing anything musically together any more, that I still can hold my own without him. I have always been in the shadow of his amazing ability to pick up an instrument and be good at it. I need to do it for myself to prove I can complete something and it can be good. I always wanted to do a "Of Montreal" or "Tilly and the Wall" cover, but to change it up some but still remain true to the origanal there in lies the trick. The last cover I was involved in was an acoustic version of Coheed and Cambrias "Ten Speed". I been in a weird mood musically, been listening to a lot of Jethro Tull "Stormwatch" and Paul McCartney & The Wings "Band On The Run" (though he is my lest favorite Beatle) then ocasionally I mix it up with some Del The Funkee Homosapien 4 I need the smell of Summer I Need it's noises in my ears

[Tuesday,February 06 2007 @ 5:53pm] [ mood | curious ] She didn’t know why but all she knew was that she couldn’t feel her hands. It was pinned up under the wire frame that was once part of the car. A small fire had started to occur near the back of the car, and she feared that soon it would spread to the tank that had now spilled half way out on to the street. A young mother had pulled off to the side of the road to ask, Mandy if she needed some assistance. By the time she had gotten there time was running out and Mandy had nodded off into unconsciousness, she realized it was a race against time and that despite the situation she needed to try and save this girl. She reached up under where Mandy’s arm was pinned and with the strength only a mother could posses somehow managed to lift the car up just enough to free her arm. Mandy’s breathing was shallow and sporadic, as if her lungs could never fill with as much that was needed to sustain her. Out in the distance the ambulance pressed on to the scene, this was a chance for these paramedics to obtain a much-needed win. They seem to carry a gust of determination about them that went above and beyond the call. The momentum showed through in their bodies as they carried the stretcher to the wreck. Two man secured Mandy down on the stretcher, while a third paramedic made the call to the nearest hospital to let them know they needed to perform an air evacuation of a young girl possibly in her mid twenties who was losing air and blood fast, they didn’t want to jinx anything but you can tell in his voice that this would be a fairly close call, that as soon as they landed the doctors needed to be ready to get down to business. Witnesses gathered around the sidewalk near by. No one really knew why or how this happened, only that now they were in the middle of something that would change the life of everyone involved.
