There’s this asshole who every time he sees me with my ukulele he thinks he’s funny and asks “Can you play any Metallica?” but the joke is now on him because I just learned how to play the intro riff to Master of Puppets.

I did it. I fucking did it. He asked me again just like I knew he would and I stared him straight in the eyes without blinking and just fucking shredded on my ukulele

Smaug's Boast

Revenge! Revenge! The King under the Mountain is dead and where are his kin that dare seek revenge? Girion Lord of Dale is dead, and I have eaten his people like a wolf among sheep, and where are his sons' sons that dare approach me? I kill where I wish and none dare resist. I laid low the warriors of old and their like is not in the world today. Then I was but young and tender. Now I am old and strong, strong, strong, Thief in the Shadows! My armor is like tenfold shields, my teeth are swords, my claws spears, the shock of my tail a thunderbolt, my wings a hurricane, and my breath death! -Smaug from The Hobbit, by J.R.R. Tolkien

I think hell is something you carry around with you. Not somewhere you go.

Neil Gaiman, The Sandman (via faustus-syndrome)

I couldn't have come across this at a more fitting time.

In Search of Odin's Eye

Many nights I've drifted by Upon a ship of dreams In search it seems Of Odin's eye And all that it has seen All the wonder of the gods And all their wondrous glory Only to find impossible odds In pursuit of those ancient stories -Tim Vallie

The Icy King of Winter

With icy hands he descends upon us With winter eyes he stares With a heart so cold, breath a winter gust Towards us now he bears The Icy King of Winter Wind In his coat of ice and snow The warmth of Autumn now rescinds His wrath all the world shall know

Silence Kept

I do not sleep For fear of dreaming Silence kept In darkness deep Silence kept For fear of screaming

The Bloody Hill

Here upon the bloody hill Where many of us fell Here lay many bodies still Of we who died so well

The flag above our heads The side for which we fell No longer matters to the dead Not to those rot in hell

It mattered not for whom we fought We all died just the same Our many bodies left to rot Long forgotten are our names

Here upon the bloody hill Where still the ravens feast Here lay the bones of many still Who shall not rest in peace -Tim Vallie

Peace of the Grave

I just want peace No more screaming I want thoughts to cease No more dreaming I want a little less light And a lot more shade A little less fight And to end the charade I want the peace of silence The sleep unending With a lot less violence And no more doom impending

The Business

Get into the business You gotta play to win It's not about mental fitness It's about if you fit in Another cookie cutter prophet Only speaks the words they like Only in it for profit Watch as those stocks spike They don't care for the soul Just for that mutual fund The systems out of control And there's nowhere to run If you want to succeed You better jump through those hoops Or if you're willing to bleed Go on, be one of the troops But those ones who don't fit Who are too strange for the mold The one's madness has bit Well their stories are old No they'd rather read rhymes About that red shingled roof Than reflect on the times With even a kernel of truth.

The Thing About Critics

The thing creators have to realize is, you can't create for others. You have to create something that you like, that you are proud of. If other people don't like it? Fine. If it doesn't sell? Fine. If it becomes an internet sensation? Fine. It shouldn't really matter. You should create things you like because you like them. Critics? Those who hate or love what you do? They are simply a tool to help you develop your works. If you don't believe, or agree with what they say that's perfectly ok. They didn't create this work, they may not get all of the work, and effort, and love you put into your creation. The thing about critics is this, they criticize and many of them don't create. Most people will judge what you make, not having to attempted to do anything like it themselves. That's ok, they have a right to do so, and you have a right to either take their criticism to heart or never acknowledge it because they didn't put the work in. If you are proud of it then that's what should matter. If you WANT to change it to please others, that's cool too, but don't do it just because somebody said it sucked.

When I Grow Up

Our whole lives people have asked us what we want to be. A doctor? Soldier? Lawyer? Fire fighter? But only now that I'm 23 and still have no answer for that question do I realize I can't answer that it's because you aren't your job. Your job is what you do, but it's not who you are. You can always change jobs, change careers, but you have to always BE true to yourself. Give every opportunity at a career a chance, and realize if it doesn't work out there are other careers out there.

When I have kids I'm not ever going to ask them what the want to be when they grow up. That's way to loaded a question. I'll ask them what they want to do. But I'm going to teach them that when some one asks them what the want to be they should respond "a decent person" or "good at whatever it is I choose to do."
