One blogger, two blogs - are not the same

Yes, they're not

the first one's sensitive
the other's aggressive

I read one
couldn't care less about the other

two blogs, one blogger
personalities differ

so I can choose what I like
your opinion doesn't matter

The better father

Jack is mowing his lawn, just like any ordinary Saturday morning. It's his weekend routine, part of his life so to speak.

While mowing, he can't help but notice his next door neighbor Wilfred, happily playing ball with his daughter Jeanna and wife Liza.

When the girls, daughter Jeanna and wife Liza, went inside the house to drink, Jack leaned over the fence and called on his neighbor Wilfred.

"What's up, buddy?" Wilfred said, "finished with the mowing already?"

"You know what? I think I'm beginning to hate you?" replied Jack, with a grin on his face.

"Why is that?" asked his neighbor.

"Here I am, working my butt off in mowing the lawn. I don't even have time to have a leisurely breakfast with my family. Yet, look at my backyard - it's a mess!" said Jack.

He continued, "And there you are playing ball with your family. I haven't seen you touch your garden, and look how beautiful it is. My wife always nag me to make our garden as beautiful as yours, what's your secret?"

Wilfred said, "It's no secret buddy. I owe it all to Austin Landscape Design. They did the landscaping and maintaining of the garden, so I can take my time taking care of my family. You should too, buddy. Give them a call at 512-782-9435 so you can free yourself from the lawn."

"But isn't it expensive?" asked Jack.

"Nah! It's reasonable, buddy. Besides, is the time you are allowed to spend time with your family isn't worth every penny? Try them buddy! You can thank me later," said Wilfred.

Just then, his wife and daughter came out and they continued playing with the ball, while Jack went back to mowing the lawn.

Throw 'em, why don't you?! I'm still standing!

Go ahead! Throw them! Throw them all at me! Give me everything you got!

Hey! Look at me! I'm still standing! I can take some more! Yes, give me some more!

Come on! Give it to me!

If you really think I still need to pass all these tests your giving me, then give them, why don't you?!

Don't stop until you see me down and crawling on the ground.

Yes, don't let me rest. That's right. Don't even let me breath!

You're the boss! You can do everything that you like! Come on, give them to me. Don't even for a brief moment allow me to get a taste of fulfillment, success or any happiness, I might only get used to it.

It's not like I haven't done everything to please you. I did. YOU KNOW THAT!

Me, who have always put himself last just because I believed in your golden rule!

Me, who even as a child have avoided everything that will cause you pain... yes! Even to the least of your brothers!

Me, who has been ridiculed and abused, just because I tried to emulate the holiness that you so professed!

You still have to see if I am worth it?!

Go ahead! Give them to me!

Satisfy yourself!

Even The Slightest Of Wound

Even the slightest of wound
Can hurt the toughest of soul
And be in strength abated
And make the spirit low

Even just a whisper of refution
Can a man be lead in labyrinth
And be pulled by angel Apollyon
To his home in Abaddon

Didn't it took just one Waterloo
That scorned his name in history?
The warrior Napoleon Bonaparte,
Once was a fearless man

Even just a shade of apathy
Can make a life forlorn
And ruin the vision of a man
And make him envelope his minds.

Music website

It is very coincidental that my previous post was about music, cause I stumbled upon a website called Audiobank.fm. It is an online store that sells royalty free music, as the website claims it is. I really don't know if that term "royalty free music" means you can distribute it as much as you want too.

The site also have a page for Reason drum kits, and the way I understand, it's like you can record drums arrangement there. Am not sure though, but it sounds cool. I will check it out.

Superman

Am still having a hard time trying to dig deep within to be able to write something creative... unfortunately, I can't think of anything to write.

So here I am, sharing a song that expresses exactly how I felt then... and now....


Get a playlist! Standalone player Get Ringtones





SUPERMAN
Five For Fighting

I can't stand to fly
I'm not that naive
I'm just out to find
The better part of me

I'm more than a bird...I'm more than a plane
More than some pretty face beside a train
It's not easy to be me

Wish that I could cry
Fall upon my knees
Find a way to lie
About a home I'll never see

It may sound absurd...but don't be naive
Even Heroes have the right to bleed
I may be disturbed...but won't you concede
Even Heroes have the right to dream
It's not easy to be me

Up, up and away...away from me
It's all right...you can all sleep sound tonight
I'm not crazy...or anything...

I can't stand to fly
I'm not that naive
Men weren't meant to ride
With clouds between their knees

I'm only a man in a silly red sheet
Digging for kryptonite on this one way street
Only a man in a funny red sheet
Looking for special things inside of me
It's not easy to be me
inside of me,inside of me,inside of me
Only a man looking for her dream
It's not easy to be me

nothing

don't read this
it has nothing

nothing to say

don't read this
I told you that before

where's the zest?
where's the spirit?

dropped it somewhere I guess

I don't know
even too weary to care

nothing else to say
so please... don't read this
