'You need to find a way for what you wanna say, but before tomorrow,
'Cos my friend said to take you home,
He sits in a corner all alone,
He lives under the waterfall,
Nobody can see him,
Nobody can ever hear him call.'

Queue catchy riff.

From fear through the eyes of madness

So this is my second attempt at blogging. Hopefully this will live a lot longer than the first one. Or maybe not. I have a short attention span to most things, which is rather unfortunate, because sometimes the things I do give my time to just seem to be so unfulfilling. I have the occasional bouts of fear, loneliness and an all pervasive need to understand and better my life. Usually I sit around and wait till this feeling passes. It's almost as if I've given up. What I've given up I have no idea. If emptiness is loneliness and loneliness is cleanliness and cleanliness is godliness then is God empty? I don't particularly believe in God despite the best efforts of people I know (and eventhough I follow and bow to the tradition of capitalizing the G). If He (note the 'H') truly exists then how about some proof. And I'd like it personalized please. Sometimes I think I'm understanding and accepting purely because the alternative is just so tedious to go through. I live for the music, the rush of life when I'm with someone special, the high of a Killing Frenzy! on Halo 3, a clever phrase, an intelligent joke. Am I human? Yes. Am I flawed? Yes I am.
