Bored, just some thoughts.

Untitled – by Jesse Young

Grouchy flies dance ceaselessly,

I see their darting bodies, they do not buzz.

I lie outstretched in a pool thick foamy substance, floating.

Eyes sunk far back into their sockets.

I squander my time, listlessly, needy, hoping.

Palatable worry pierces my hardened exterior,

My eyelids flicker tentatively.

Straining, a murky outline,

A marble dais rises above the centre of the pool.

A jester takes the stage,

Frolics in an unnerving pantomime,

Transfixed by his deft movements,

I lose myself.

The jester points, into the cold distance, far away.

His cap’s bells jingle silently.

I turn, but the darkness that greets me, haunts me.

He urges my attention onward into the nothingness,

I balk, unwilling to explore further.

“Who’s the fool?” his lips jerk, mouthing noiselessly.

Yet I hear his words drift down to me, I know he is right, compounding my ire.

I shut him out, merge with the pool.

I lie outstretched in a pool thick foamy substance, floating

Eyes sunk far back into their sockets

I squander my time, listlessly, gloomily, expiring.

Groping at indefinite ideas,

Please, a vestige of coherence.

Hands feeling, searchingly appealing,

The jester’s face is caked in slime,

The countenance his, for though I no longer see,

The slanted, crooked smile meets my fingers,

The darkness is absolute.


Porcelain Heart

April 26, 2008

Just a few things,

  • Watching Invader Zim dvd collection while blogging and ostensibly studying Calculus and Earth science.
  • Helped my Girlfriend move into her apartment yesterday, she is now blessed with living within immediate walking distance of university. I shall still know the horrors of commuting.
  • Have throughly wasted this 10day study break and redeeming it will be a difficult task.

Opeth – Porcelain Heart

Opeth’s new music video,  a condensed cut of the track Porcelain Heart from their upcoming album Watershed.  Again, Opeth delivers in spades, this track seamlessly blends masterful metal guiitar riffs and haunting acoustic passages accompanied by Mikael Åkerfeldt’s somber voice.

Queen Adreena

Frontwoman Katie-Jane Garside of Daisy Chainsaw fame makes the independent rock outfit, Queen Adreena raw, wild and oozes in sleaze and blatant sexuality. Check out some of their clips:

Pretty like Drugs

FM Doll

Medicine Jar

That’s all I got, for now :P

Back after extended break :P

April 1, 2008

Over the years I have never proven the most dedicated blogger, so when I began this blog after a short brust of about of week things definitely fizzled out and went the way of all my other blogging experiments :P Life intervened and interest flagged :( however, I’m back after about a month of absence to give this blogging business another round in the ring! At this point I’m into my 5th week of 2nd year University at the University of Western Australia and I’ve started a relationship with a magificently colourful creature almost universially dubbed Rib (or more fully rebecca)  which has upturned and altered the fabric of my life incredibly :)

Some visual stimulation:

So with that, I leave my readership of none to pursue volumious stacks of readings for two assignments due on monday.

Fair-de-well.
