Life really is like a rollercoaster

Totally cliche I know. I mean who hasn't heard that analogy (if you're really sick of it I guess we could say it's like a bungee cord). But it's so very true. It escalates and escalates very slowly like you feel you're never going to come down. And then...we shoot down so very fast, screaming the whole way to the bottom. Only the strong ones, don't scream. But here's the best part. Even once the rollercoaster has stopped its death-defying descent, it's still going to climb back to the top. And some people are lucky. Sometimes, someone puts the break on near the top for a little while. But those breaks aren't going to be on for forever. Eventually everyone is going to take the plunge. I hope everyone's descent is fast and everyone's climb up is slow and prolonged. Because guess what? Life isn't just ups and downs. Rollercoasters were made for entertainment purposes you know. So either up or down, everyone should enjoy the ride.

The Best and Worst Make-out Songs

Inspired by one of my favorite authors Libba Bray!

WORST:

Play that Funky Music by Wild Cherries
(Love the song, but it doesn't exactly arouse me in anyway)

The Ghost of You by My Chemical Romance
(A song about depression, death and doomed love. Pucker up!)

I Kissed A Girl by Katy Perry
(that's just a tad awkward...unless you're lesbian of course)

Any Disturbed Songs
(Sorry. Just too angry.)

Angels by Within Temptation
(You broke my heart...decieved me right for the start. It was all just a lie. LIAR!!!)

I'm So Sick by Flyleaf
(I'd be too focused on the awful vocals to do anything let alone kiss)

Skin Deep by Trapt
(Yeah you superficial slut)

The Devil Wears Prada, Scary Kids Scaring Kids, or just any screamo songs really
(Nothing gets me in the mood more than somebody screaming at me. Oh baby)


Who Let The Dogs Out by Baha Men
(WHO? WHO WHO WHO?)

You Oughta Know by Alanis Morrissette
("Do you think of me when you [do] her"...How romantic.)

California Girls by Beach Boys
(Way to make somebody who's not from cali feel like crap)

Everybody's Fool by Evanessence

La Ingrata by Cafe Tacuba
(MOOD KILLER)

The Funny Farm by Dr. Demento
(MAJOR MOOD KILLER!!!!)

Cowboy by Kid Rock
(Country and rap mixed together? Excuse me for a second honey while I go throw up)

Funeral March by Mozart
(enough said)

Stupid Girl by Cold
(gee I feel loved)

Revolution 9
(You'd have to be pretty twisted to makeout to that one)

I'll Be You're Baby Tonight by Robert Palmer
(Sorry Robert but this song is not romantic. Or even cute for that matter)

Cell Block Tango from Chicago
(Nothing like killing your other half)

This Is the End for You My Friend by Anti-Flag
(Ah happiness)

Believe by Breaking Benjamin
(Oh yeah a song about being raped....Lets kiss)

Face Down by Redjumpsuit Apparatus
(Nothing like being knocked around while sucking face)

I Wanna Love You by Akon
(Nothing screams romance like I wanna **** you)

Thanks for the Memories by Fallout Boy
(If you know what this is talking about then you'll understand)

Didley Wack Wack Mormon Daddy by Everclean\
(a total turn on)

I'm A Thunderdrome Baby by DHT
(Possibly the most annoying song ever)

And in short anything by Miley Cyrus, Jonas Brothers, Christmas music (ew), Abba, Wierd Al, Metallica, and Papa Roach should definitely be avoided.

BEST:

Flames by VAST
(Possibly one of the most beautiful love songs I have ever heard)

So She Dances by Josh Groban
(Definitely one of the sweetest songs out there)

Breathe Into Me by RED
(So ok it is a rock song but just the dramatic style of the song could make one great kiss if used correctly)

Stripped by Shiny Toy Guns
(A lovely depeche mode cover with great duet and a bit of a sensual beat)

Addicted by Enrique Iglesias
(Such a great song. My favorite by Enrique as a matter of fact)

Strange and Beautiful by Aqualung
(A beautiful and hypnotic love song)

Whatever You Like by T.I.
(IF YOU AREN'T MARRIED BE GOOD AND LISTEN TO THE CLEAN VERSION but seriously this song pratically screams Baby I want you.)

Come On, Get Higher by Matt Nathanson
(A particular line in that song comes to mind lol)

Raindrops by Armor for Sleep
(A wonderful analogy for love)

On Fire by Switchfoot

Make Love In this Club by Usher
(Don't make love. Just make out)

Untouched by Veronicas

Out of My League by Stephen Speaks
(AWWWWWWWWWWW)

City of Blinding Lights by U2
(Fast but not too fast)

Dark Blue by Jack's Mannequin
(Again more upbeat but not overly)

ANY OF THE LOVE SONGS BY TRADING YESTERDAY
(Such as Love Song Requiem and She is the Sunlight)

Dance Inside by All-American Rejects

And that's all I can think of for now but I'm sure I'll come up with more.




MOOD: amused and trying to keep myself preoccupied so I dont start pining
SONG: One Last Breath by Creed

The Purpose of This Blog

Yes there is a purpose.


Feathers of Ink is a blog that will both contain parts of my writing portfolio such as poems, short stories, maybe even essays, or experts from any bigger things I might work on but also serve as a mini-journal with both records of events in my life and probably lots of tangents.
The reason I created this blog was to first, have a convienant, fast way of sharing my work and happenings in my life with other people either near or far. Two, because it sounded fun. And three, to help motivate me to start writing again. I use to write a ton. But now it seems I hardly write anything at all. Which is sad because I have ideas all the time and I think I'm a decent writer and someday I hope to actually get some profit from it.

I have another blog as well. Only instead of writing, it will have all of my visual creations on it such as my photographs, photoshop editing/manipulations, and music videos. The link to that is:

Anyways, Happy Blogging!

The 8th

A free verse poem I jotted down the other day. SO naturally no rhyme scheme or anything tecnicial writing. It hasn't been edited or anything so don't expect anything too great.

It was like touching grass for the first time
When I glanced into your eyes that night.
The beauty and the power oberseved that day
Afeared me to seach the corners of my lost soul
And unlock
What was festering in them
As I discovered
A marvel in plain sight.
Something always right before my eyes.
A conumdrum presented by this realistic madness
Brimming my mind with contradictions.
Joy. Hatred. Fury. Concern.
Fingers that danced with me so many times,
With hands met swiftly likes a baby's first breath.
Gasping as I shed my old, bruised skin,
I panicked.
I faltered. Confusingly,
swept away by a world always possible to access
But had never before witnessed.
To selfish. Never willing to consider, to touch.
A whirlwind around me with only one guide.
Reluctant to by led as the dancers glided across the floor.
Frightened by a vibrant realm.
Hesitant irises to refract light.
An angel too comfortable in dark alleys,
Like a vampire stepping out in to day.
A savior of the fallen standing in the sun.
Despite the snowflakes and sallow skin,
Heat rained out and the sun smiled
Down on a creature who lived in the dirt.
And for the first time in many months,
I saw the sky again.
A sky of green.
