We are so primitive but we fight and deny it constantly- excessively. We should be content with mortality, as much as the bird is content with eating the worm. I hope you find balance in one life or another, friend…

3rd and final session for my mass relay piece. \m/

Twin Vulture-headed Demon God of Bones \m/

There was a time, When I didn’t want to talk about it. I just felt remorse As i thought about it. What the past had become, The now became contorted like I’m looking at a History falsely recorded

After just one weekend, She shattered my heart, After 7 years together Even high-school sweethearts. I thought we had the world Sitting under our thumb, But all I did was just blink Before I saw it was gone.

And then I woke up In a world where all I saw was rain, My head stuck on rewind playing dreams that just wouldn’t end, until I came back up, and found a way to clear the past from the heartache and pain, and in the storm of emotion I somehow found myself again.

More progress on my Mass Relay forearm piece. Probably the 2nd to last session.

My child-soul

is ancient,

and old.

I can feel it

with every new

set of bones...

The number of times I’ve fought temptation, outnumber the times I’ve given in to temptation. Because opportunities are gifts.

Monochrome Prey

I’ve begun a machine

In clockwork blood,

As empathetic as oil.

It is a fervor for discord

That stains prismatic ink

To spiraling parchment.

The stars have arrayed me

In serpentine path,

That casts an uncanny

Shadow - a mirror

Of Golgotha. My feet

Glide in 7-inch deep

Glass, working

Transparent soil

That once before was

As thick, and dry

As coffins towering,

Gorged of human cogs.

To whoever dates me next, here’s what you’d be signing up for:

- Getting blazed constantly and singing Disney songs/showtunes - Debates for the sake of debating (if I get mad, I’m probably not even mad) - Getting drunk and singing Disney songs/showtunes - Good-excellent sex (so I’ve been told) - Lots of metal (yeah Disney and shows are great but there. will. be. Metal.) - Videogames upon videogames (I’m a designer for a living so…) - Staying blazed and more singing - Chillness but also rampant enthusiasm - Long-winded discussions - Profuse swearing - Catching pokemon - Facial hair - Anime - Reckless carefree-ness - Chicken wings - Random make-out sesh[es] - Bong rips and Netflix - Moshing - Dark rituals - “Smarter than I look” appeal - Curly hair - Poetry - Nonsense - Good friends (I only get involved with good peoples) - Somebody who has their shit together (as much as a 20-something can these days) - Love

Figured I’d put it out there since I’m terrible at “putting myself out there.” XD lololol

If you want me, you need to level up.

She currently holds the high score, and you’re nowhere close.

I’m still buffed and powered from that time before...

When you can replace years of curiously vivid dreams,

like a solid overwrite of an autosave file,

then I’ll know you’re ready for the end-game.

Adage

Festering and Lyncanthropic, Your earthly plot Only grows What cannot be Consumed. Harvest flies And swarm, Or sow of the spirit And reap Abundant Flame from The soul.

[octozord]

Jagged Pattern

As lurid as animal skin On argyle, Mannequin flesh, Your skeleton is torn Between the flash Of violence And the heartbeat Of redemption. Monstrous filth, As bright as Eradiated carbon, Your path is a Cartoon wasteland. Burn away, And let me crawl Back into the Earth, Where I’ll surrender, Like secret gleam On lonesome crystal.

True nsfw-ish story about bats

So I’ve never told this story on social media before, but I figured “why not,” right? I’ll try to keep it concise. So about 5 or 6 years or so back, I visited Disney World with my then girlfriend and her family. At animal kingdom, we wandered into where you could be in a room full of bats and they were separated by netting - or maybe not at all, I don’t remember. I stopped to get a good look while the rest of our group meandered further. I look up and see this one bat, hanging upside down (naturally) just… helping himself… I sort of lean over to this woman standing next to me, “Soo…is it me or-” and without missing a beat, “-is he doing what you think he’s doing?” she interrupts. “…yep.” I reply, and this lady just nods, “oh yeah. You’re seeing that. ” or some such remark. It’s hard to remember the details, but she was slick and nonchalant about it. This bat was, in fact, giving himself a bj before or very eyes. Of this, I shit you not. …I also don’t have pictures because I didn’t want to be greasy about it. But yeah so, that’s a thing that happened.

Here’s a little dump of some Fallout 4 screens I took and have been using as wallpapers. Feel free to do the same. ^_^

(And I’m on console so forgive any intrusive-ish UI’s.)

[octozord]

I'm now drunk enough to post this. ...And the action on my acoustic is challenging. ...And my posture is garbage. But I wanted to sing to you, so...

Boy of Cheer

(For Matt)

Like animals gathered

to sing in a choir,

You are a rare ensemble.

A colorful wind

Carried through

Lusting, adventurous

Lungs. Calling

Relentlessly like

An ancient harp,

Your song can wake

The most lethargic

of hearts.

[octozord]

Waxed

Your soul splayed red

And coughed suggestion

Of ghostly unrest,

While laughing like gulls

At what you forgot you left.

What grim, skeletal comedy

Your greed has released.

Like blood in a clown car,

Your bones were read,

Stuffed, smiling and dim.
