7000 and 200
03/28/2003 03:42 a.m.
well, today i finally surpassed 7000 reads on all of my poems- something i could never fathom when i stared here... (before the new layout went into effect, i had about 1000 reads through a better part of the year). i feel exposed...
and then, for the first time, i had one of my poems go over 200 reads. sure, it isnt any great beans, but to me it is something of an achevement.
next milestones: 300 comments, and 400 poems. watch for those soon.

ahh... i'm scared.

in the last couple of days, i dont know why, i've had so many random people tell me they like my shit (poetry, art, photography, etc.)... and i dunno, it's so weird for me to get that. honestly, i dont think that i match the talent of very many people on here. i look at the people i admire on this site, and i'm actually getting recognized by them... it's such a weird feeling. like i'm getting all sorts of stuff from BCP, Aiko, jersey... etc- and these are poets i look up to. not to mention the complete strangers from outta nowhere and shit... i just dont understand- why do my feelings and how i express them mean anything to anyone but me and my close friends? it's crazy. a million times thank you, thank you, thank you for all of you who have supported me and keep me writing and takin photos and doin my art and everything... i do it for me, but i guess i do it for you, too.
i love you all...

new member applicants....
03/23/2003 04:41 a.m.
i dunno, i'm having a small qualm with the new member applications..
(this is where you ask 'oh andrew, will you share?')
(and this is where i say, 'why yes my dearies, gather round!')
well, here it is.
does anyone notice how all these new applicants are seemingly trying WAY too hard? i'm speaking of mainly the essays. they all go into this pseudo-deep-thought trip that's like, "without art, we woul not exist and cease to be because it is fundamental to the very existance it created...' or some way out hippy-shit like that. maybe it's just me, but it's nice once in a while to see someone who shoves the bullshit aside and stops trying to impress everyone...
but i'm weird.

falling apart
03/21/2003 04:29 a.m.
as we speak, my world is falling apart.
the war, ya.
but sometimes i gotta wonder why give a fuck? i still do, but i dont know why- maybe it's just that complacency and silence are the worst crimes of all.
in other news, caitlin is sick- sounds as if terribly so. i dont know what's going on w/ that, but i'm scared.
and then cheryl, i dunno. i'm gettin a weird vibe from her lately... n2 mention somea the shit she did a few days ago, w/e... not really ur buzness, so i wont share....
but it seems like everything is falling apart, and i'm scared.

a response to someone elses journal entry regarding war...
03/18/2003 02:44 a.m.
"Why is everyone against war? Do they not see the danger of Sidam H. ? He is almost an exsact replica of Hitler: killing his own people, his own children, by torture and disease, purposefully and tactfully. Hating America. Ect. We give them so much time, yet they always want more time.
Whatever anyone else says, I support our President 100%."

well, it's really very simple. It's not that we dont see the dangers of sadaam- he is, by all rights, a terrible person. yet is it really our position to say that he cant be in power? we are half a world away, removed from their way of life. yet calling him an exact replica of hitler is also giving him credit- because he, like hitler, isnt exactly the dumbest guy on the block. and thus, we havent been able to get rid of him. he may kill his own people, but what good would the united states going in and forcably disarming the country do? bombing these innocent people, when we are after a few government officials- who, because they are so well protected, will not be killed. the united states bombing iraq will only perpetuate the death that has been caused. The diseases he "spreads" through the country, they would not be that big of a deal if they were allowed medications- yet, this cant be, because of US sanctions cutting off supplies to the country. You mention hating america as one of his faults. two points there: firstly, it is freedom of opinion to hate whoever the hell you want. not tolerating dissenting viewpoints is simply anti-american. secondly, look at your own president. look at the anti-war efforts going on- yet he does not heed the cries of his own people. it's not hate, but it's denial of the democratic process which supposedly elected him- hence that is anti-american.
finally, your little bit about giving them too much time: there is no quick fix to the issues of society, there is no quick fix to dictators with too much power. things take time to do them right- yet in typical american fashion, we seem ready to do it fast and worry about fixing it later. saome principle behind duct tape, if you think about it (considered one of the greatest american inventions of all time...)
just some food for thought.

beastie boys- in a world gone mad
03/17/2003 02:39 a.m.
get this song- http://www.beastieboys.com/

In a world gone mad it’s hard to think right- So much violence hate and spite. Murder going on all day and night- Due time we fight the non-violent fight.

Mirrors, smokescreens and lies, It’s not the politicians but their actions I despise. You and Saddam should kick it like back in the day- With the cocaine and Courvoisier. But you build more bombs as you get more bold, As your mid-life crisis war unfolds, All you want to do is take control. Now put that axis of evil bullshit on hold. Citizen rule number 2080: Politicians are shady, So people watch your back- 'cause I think they smoke crack... I don’t doubt it- look at how they act.

First the ‘War On Terror’, now war on Iraq. We’re reaching a point where we can’t turn back. Let’s lose the guns, and let’s lose the bombs, And stop the corporate contributions that they're built upon. Well, I’ll be sleeping on your speeches, ‘til I start to snore- ‘Cause I won’t carry guns for an oil war. As-Salamu alaikum, wa alaikum assalam- Peace to the Middle East, peace to Islam. Now don’t get us wrong- ‘cause we love America- But that’s no reason to get hysterical. They’re layin’ on the syrup thick. We ain’t waffles, we ain’t havin’ it.


Now how many people must get killed For oil families pockets to get filled? How many oil families get killed? Not a damn one- so what’s the deal?

It’s time to lead the way and de-escalate- Lose the weapons of mass destruction and the hate. Say ooh ah what’s the White House doin’? Oh no! Say, what in tarnation have they got brewing? Well, I’m not pro Bush, and I’m not pro Saddam- We need these fools to remain calm. George Bush, you’re looking like Zoolander, Trying to play tough for the camera. What, am I on crazy pills? We’ve got to stop it- Get your hand out my grandma’s pocket. We need health care more than going to war- You think it’s democracy they’re fighting for?
