ST ANGER ST LOUIS ST BERNARD

Friends of mine (you know who), myself included, pretty much gave up on Metallica once the Black album came out. I know that 9 out of 10 people go ape shit over the Black album,but not me. While there was a song or two that wasn't bad, I thought they were a bunch of sell out shits. I never bought the Black album and I never will.

Over the next several years Metallica released a bunch of less than stellar albums. Once again each record had a song or two that was cool, but I just didn't know what to think. I more or less said, "Fuck Metallica." You must understand, there was a time in my life (circa '84-'89) were Metallica just kicked my fucking ass. They were up there with Iron Maiden and if you know me, you know that's saying something. I even got to meet them in Louisville in 1989 on the ...And Justice For All tour. Lars was a complete prick but the rest of the guys were cool as shit. Anyway, so for me to say, "fuck 'em," that even shocked me. Although there were some cool things they released (Garage, Inc.), I, for the most part spent the 90's without Metallica

Which brings me to my point, when St. Anger was released in 2003, I decided to buy it after seeing the video. I liked the song. After spending three years now listening to it, I believe this is the record that should have came after Justice. It is a fantastic record, VERY RAW. That's what makes it unique, they didn't polish the sound and just went with it. I hear MANY people say they think St. Anger sucks and they shit when I say the same about the Black album and I praise St. Anger. To each his own, this is true but I've been listening St. Anger this week and decided to give it some credit. No, I'm not jumping on Metallica's bandfloat but I am ashamed to say that if I found a cheap copy of Load, I would probably buy it. *gasp* I also am very curious to hear their next album because it is being produced by Rick Rubin. Rick Rubin has produced some of the best records this planet has ever seen. I really want to hear it.

"Not only do I not know the answer,
I don't even know what the question is."

TO SUM UP THE DAY.....

It just fits so well for today. Anyone there with me?

ALL COLORS TURN TO GRAY

All Colors Turn to Gray

God I’m so fucked up and I don’t know what to do
I could put my trust in you but I don’t know
how long my heart can stay true
There’s not one thing in this world for me
I don’t deserve it anyway I’m better off they say
Just words and thoughts I type to you
and you still don’t get it do you

I’m melting down behind my eyes
all the colors turn to gray
So sad to hear just how I died
but I’m still dieing more & more each day
so don’t pull me too close to you
just keep me at arms length
Do I mean a shit to you
it’s what you say not just what I think

Wasted time is drifting by me now
I’m too stoned to think about it so
pop a blue and hit the green
If I could just talk to you
how much could I really say
It wouldn’t matter anyway nothing would change
Never get to see you but it must be a good thing
I wish I knew the truth of why you keep your distance

There’s this big hole in my heart and I fill it with toys
and books
and cds
and dvds
Geek boy, hiding behind locked doors
keeping out the world, if misery loves company where did I get all this hate

GREEN SMILEY NOTHING

Green Smiley Nothing



I’m so ready to go to the next big thing
don’t really care where
I’m just tired of being around
hanging from invisible ropes
someone please cut the rope
let me fall let me crash
I’m already broken you step on the pieces

green bottles big deal
smiley face blue pills
nothing then tell me how
be a friend nothing now
take a heart so corrupt
give it back bust it up

still hold you closer than you’ll ever feel
can’t hurt you it’s only me I kill
voodoo doll pins and needles
stick them deep so you can feel me

weekends are like dead ends
the less you do the more you die
dig the hole buy the box
dig it deep fill it with rocks
would you cry would you visit
I lie alone like when I was living

I’m tired of love sick of hate
tired of this joke that I call a life
always hear the same old line
just have faith not your time
