The Con
Relief Next To Me

I miss you now
I guess like
I should have missed you then
My body moves
Like curtains waving in and out of wind,
In and out of windows
I can't untangle, I can't untangle
What I feel and what would matter most
I can't get close and I,
I can't get close
And now there's just no point,
In reaching out for me
In the dark,
I'm just no good at giving relief
In the dark,
It won't be easy to find relief

Fucked Up
The Chemistry Of Common Life
Black Albino Bones
Rubbing stones together until the magic comes out,
Embracing the purity, the purity of obscurity,
Try to capture the name as it spins in your mind,
Follow it with our eyes,
The dizzy epiphany discovered an artifact of my own,
It's the little things that get us through life

THE FORECAST
"Broken Bottles"
we're riding a low, a slow pace where we have to grow up
we're riding a low where the blood thins from those long nights
the room spins as i watch you turn
waiting for the words
we're so sick of being alone
so come over stay longer
wasting time on mistakes we've made
my eyes will tell you i haven't slept for days
we're riding a low, a slow pace where we have to crawl home
were riding a low, where nothing make us whole
so we'll bend our backs back to the start
and start again

Simple Hello

Simple hello would've been nice
Instead you walked right by
I do recall we used to be friends
Has that slipped your mind

I used to call you on the telephone
Each and every night
Every time I see you with him
I think, 'Why even try?'
Think I've had enough
Think I've lost my mind
This time

We used to be the best of friends
I guess now things have changed
Far too busy with your own friends
Do you still know my name

Think I've had enough
And I think I've lost control
So it goes

Think I've had enough
Think I've lost my mind

Title:
My True Love
Album:
The Stars At Saint Andrea

she'll never know
how she stole my true love
for my love
never told oh my love
locked all the proof
oh my love in his heart
girl check the holes
you never know you never know

he keeps the rock I gave him
in his pocket still today
keeps my picture in
a locket by his bed
all the promises he made to me
he gave to her instead

as the garden grows
rain and leaves cover me
girl keep the knife by your side
if you need to cut

how could I let it by
this time

closed my eyes and watched you
open up three doors
love is blind love is blind
now that I see you
and I know what you are
if I could........die I would

one day you will know
as the wind begins to blow
think about the stories
that he brings from where he goes

Circa Survive
Close Your Eyes To See
If you pass away in the wing fortress
There's a time divider and a technical team will be
At your services for what that matters
When the mirror shatters it's harder for me to see

If there are any answers here we haven't searched for
Just type in your code and say a prayer
How could it be, we were so secure?
Cause nothing you've ever planned on
Ever turned out the way you planned

What I tried to say this couldn't feel more wrong
I can't believe its happening or lasting this long
If we know each other then why should it be so hard?
Why should it be so hard to make it stop?

If there are any answers here we haven't searched for
Just type in your code and say a prayer
How could it be, we were so secure?
Cause nothing you've ever planned on
Ever turned out the way you planned

What I tried to say this isn't real
And I feel ashamed that I don't think that I can heal

It's a shame that I would pretend
Before making amends
It's a shame that I can't
But nothing you've ever planned on
Ever turned out
But nothing you've ever planned on
Ever turned out the way you planned
You're still disappointing them
You're still disappointing
You're still disappointing them

If there are any answers here we haven't searched for
Just type in your code and say a prayer
How could it be, we were so secure?
Nothing you've ever planned on
Ever turned out the way you planned

I Knew You Before

Paul and Eugene in a camps bay cave =p

Dustin Kensrue lyrics
Please Come Home
I Knew You Before

You were once a sweet little girl
so innocent and pure
Your eyes were open and sure
anyone could look right in

I followed closely your gaze
you looked up towards the sky
But I watched your face drift away
other things had caught your eye

The magazines and media supplied you with their plastic protocol
And maybe music television really is the devil after all
But all I can say is I knew you before
You were beautiful back then
before you grew up, before you gave in

You dream of sharing your heart
Instead you share your bed
And your heart beats empty and cold
With all the tears that you have shed

You dream of baring your soul
Instead you bare more skin
And you wear dark glasses to keep
Anyone from looking in

The magazines and media supplied you with their plastic protocol
Oh, and maybe music television really is the devil after all
But all I can say is I knew you before
You were beautiful back then
Before you grew up, before you gave in

And all you want is to hear the words:
"Dear baby I love you"
So you hike your skirt higher still
'Till there eyes are all on you

You drive in fast foreign cars
The color of your sin
And you tint your windows to keep
Anyone from looking in

Oh, and all I can say is I knew you before
You were beautiful back then
Before you grew up, before you gave in

And all I can say is I knew you before
You were beautiful back then

You could be beautiful again..

A Simple Plan

2008-11-21T03:55:00.000-08:00

Pedro The Lion
A Simple Plan

the plants and the factories are perfectly run
the workers and bosses are living as one
people are equal, people are good
people are working as hard as they should be
it's food for my family, it's clothes for my kids
the class war is over and everyone wins

it's such a simple plan
to take it like a man
but i'm not sure i can

we fought for a decade, corruption and greed
it gave me a purpose, a reason to breathe
but now that it's over, now that we've won
i still sit in my bedroom, alone with a shot gun

to think of my family no longer compels me
with all things in common they'll manage without me

it's such a simple plan
to take it like a man
but i'm not sure i can
i have a simpler plan

.old photo.

"SAETIA"
"Notres Langues Nous Trompes"

I bleed onto a page for you where diction has lost all its meaning,And secrets fall from lips like dying petals in a forgotten garden.Believing language we speak in tongues deceiving ourselves,My heart whispers in forms that twenty years of reason and cognition have rendered useless.If only you could hear what I have seen for aeons before this zero.To see our system as a void, to believe ourselves immuneTo never feel our wings melting.We are all spirits trapped and dying.Trapped and dying.

Prequel To The Sequel

2008-03-27T23:12:00.000-07:00

Its bizarre how fast we laugh at our enemies when they have fallen, and how much longer it takes us to help them.
Even though we are happy with what we have, or we believe we are. We still want to see our enemies fail, honestly though I doubt it makes you any happier seeing them fail.
It is just a moment of satisfaction where you feel like hah sucker fool. Then all those emotions fade away and all you are left with is a guilty disgusting feeling of how awful a human being you are by not being the bigger man and helping them.
We will still preach about how strength in the community is a strength for all (including yourself), but that’s all regurgitated corporate citizenship, we actually want the false sense of power and security in seeing others fail.
I found a kewl quote that totally put hope and life into my day….

The Holy Spirit will give to the praying saint the brightness of an immortal hope, the music of a deathless song, in His baptism and communion with the heart, He will give sweeter and more enlarged visions of heaven until the taste for other things will pall, and other visions will grow dim and distant. He will put notes of other worlds in human hearts until all earth’s music is discord and songless.-Rev. E. M. Bounds
And I don’t just like it cause it says deathless song, discord and songless its really awesome read it again.

These are the photos from Simones matric dance.

It was as good as a boere party can get taking in account your mixing poor durbanville kids(wanting to snatch what they can) and really loud common kraafontein ladies in the same place.

The only bummer besides a split eardrum from the aforementioned common-loud girl is the song "kom ons stop die lorrie" was set on repeat in my brain,after having to listen to it soo many times at the dance. Thanks to those people that put their pride aside and made the evening all the worth-while,heres some photos of u.

And a poem for an afrikaans emo kid called Cache
eensaam
"eensaam is n leuen
daar is geen saamwees in een nie
niks behalwe alleen nie
moet net nie hieruit die afleiding maak
dat twee noodwendig saam sou maak

Randomnessness

2008-03-06T05:05:00.000-08:00

This blog is just some random shots over time.

The first is of a gig at leibrand, the photo right on top is off the passionate boys of emnity, and the one below is one of my favorite shots ever its Nick off New Altum drawn out from the rest off the band by the stage lighting. I find it very dramatic and very unlike all the hardcore band photos that I have seen. I know its kind of hard to see when its that small but ya wateva, what u could do is come round to my house for a game off chess and green tea and ill let you scrutinize it all printed out and what not.
The second and third are just some more photos I have done off Round One Knockout, I am really getting a huge collection off photos from these guys, thanks soo much I really appreciate you guys staying up till like 1 in the morning and then waking up at 5:30 again for another day off shooting. You guys rock as musicians as people and as friends.
The last is of rocks in Sea-Point, which i shot early in the morning while just shooting some street photography. I don’t shoot a lot of landscape, but i always love going to see a landscape exhibition, usually by some National Geographic photographic fundi whose traveled the world more times than not. Usually right after that I have an urge to go take some landscape photos, and considering I live in one off the most beautiful cities in the world, I really should do it more often. Moreover, I cannot wait to have the cash one day to print huge landscape photos (and sell it in Camps Bay for billions, mohahahaha there is my master plan who wants to join and take over the world?)

Cant write alot now but my week has been amazing, been blessed abundantly, got awsome marks for assigments and life is just on the up and up.
It’s so rad to see how when people live in community and see the growth and development of the community, as greater than just their own bliss and comfort. Things can really been accomplished efficiently.
So ya I gotta run keep your eyeballs glued to the screen as you never not what astonishing things may happen on the inter-web despite the fact that you could go take a stroll and meet a buddy.

Some photos from Donnie Blacks birthday party with special guests "The Trees”. They did one beyond a shadow of doubt amazing heartfelt performance in Jan-Jans parents’ lounge, surrounded by lanterns and expectant faces, to a crowd of maybe 20 or so. It was fantastic and I am sure once there cd starts getting circulated, its going to be hot enough to braai marshmallows on (hmmm not with, I mean it figuratively ha-ha).
Anyways it was amazing, everyone dressed up as boere from die plaas, and they did a fabulous job.
Onto the more tech stuff, I am so stoked I am finally learning how to mix flash and ambient light, to get the desired emotional effect in my photographs (just another gimmick with light you know to make your images all deep and introspective ha-ha.), as you can no doubt see in my photos. It’s fine if you don’t, ill forgive you.

Great stuff
Peace and love to everyone...

Cant wait for the 16th of Feb theres a gig at R.O.A.R, its gonna be super! the line-up will be YES!SIR MISTER MAHINE and Round One Knockout,i cant wait, and if the blood is still pumping through your veins and your heart is still beating along then u really gotts to be there and witness history. I know it might sound a bit melow-dramatic but here in the cape of stormy turbulent weatherness we dont seem to have any straight-up positive hardcore bands and to see two of them playin on one evening is gonna be mind-blowing.

Ow and i envy all u all that are gonna go watch fight fest in joburg(ya u stacey!)

...and you meausur for wealth by the things you can holdand you meaure for love by the sweet things your toldand you live in the past of a dream that your inand your selfishness is your cardinal sin
and you want to be held with highest regardit delights you so much if hes trying so hardand you try to conceal your ordinary wayswith a smile or a shrug or some stolen cliche
so dont try and charm me with things that you aint.....
I am by no mans reagrds a rodrigues fan or one of those hippies thatwhere "long live rodrigues" t-shirts yet as i get older rodrigues's words defianetly seeem to make a lot more sense to me now more than ever.
I dont know if im getting more depressed the older i get or if i amjust beggining to have more appreciation for things that generallywouldnt intrest me in the slightest,like olives.
.....hmmmm organic red olives
peace and long live rodrigues.hahaha

Place. This is where the giants roam and their horses stand so tall.

And their fists engaged, and fingers bent back to the palm, except one. And you ain't seen nothing yet.

All my judges burn, from their gunshot eyes, A direct line that travels at the speed of light into my heart, into my mind. I read between the lions. The forest grows from their eyes.

I was not placed upon the grass of this ever-fading earth for a standing ovation and it's romance.

I was placed for the warning, so head the warning. And they cannot look away for if they do and cross paths with a wall that reflects all it sees, and it shows the truth, shows the fake, shows the past, shows all of the mistakes, And it shows everything that they refuse to see.

Because if there is blood on the roots, then there is blood on the braches

Now show me how to live

Today was quite refreshing as it was one of those hot days when you go down to the beach just for the simple pleasure of enjoying the sand,sun and water. Instead of the usual go to beach put on wettie,stretch,paddle out and hope and pray you get a wave.
It was great just relaxing, digging my toes into the sand, yet the wholee time i had a heavy feeling on my heart about guys who drink and drive(Which seems to be the norm in the december holidays.)
The reason for this pondering in the sand was due to the fact that on the way to the beach about ,which is about 3 minutes from my house, there was 2 very big car accidents,bummer to think those guys families might have to celebrate christmas without those involved in the accidents.
I couldnt stop wondering as to what would posses someone to do this, and my only reasoning comes down to the fact that this is the time of the year where families get together and many folks in my city dont have families or just really broken ones. And it must really hit home this time off the year.All i think i can do is say a prayer.

chorus from "Show me how to live" by AUDIOSLAVE

Nail in my hand
From my creator
You gave me life
Now show me how to live

I stretched the ligaments in my chest on saturday evening, this after two parties and way too much clothing shoppping. So i decided to sleep off the rest of the weekend thanks to my good buddies "inza","painamor","voltaren" and every other anti-inflamatory i could get my sticky paws on too.

Sunday evening i saw the arrows,they were great in that way that only pop music can be, yet with fantastic lyrical play from the vocalist/keyboard player which takes them out of the pop genre completely.

New Altum

Photographs from the Not Even Once event, which was held on the 31 December in big bay this year.It was held by the DEA (http://www.dea.org.za/) and the whole point of the event was to show kids they can live an alternative lifestyle without drugs.
The turn out was amazing, and the vibe was really swell.

All i can say is be there next year.
