Shores of Mourning
its been a while since last i posted a poem, so hopefully this will be a triumphant return.
Shores Of Mourning
Deep in the corners of my mind, there lie
emotions i refuse to tell
Tormenting my soul, how it burns, it burns
in my self-created hell
i, alone, am the dark lord there,
antagonist of my tortured cries
i am my own bloodied Satan
fallen angel of my own demise
She left me there in a sea of self-loathing
hated by my only friend
drown myself in the deep waters of mourning,
memories bring my end
Taken over by dreams of her
visions of her in the distance
i see her live, i see her dead
always crying like a frightened child
a sickle in one hand, a rose in the other
like death's precious valentine
soft lips that once brought life to mine
now kiss me with sorrow and pain
the sweet voice that once whispered declarations of love
now scream cries of death
Lord Cabed
okay, I'm back, probably not for good, but I'm back. It feels good, except that I've changed, no longer am I this "Hardcore metalhead." But I will still offer my criticism and honest opinion.
Frankly, I didn't like it. You had some cool stuff going though. Nice imagery, but what is the message you're trying to convey? I want you to put it in your owns words. I didn't find an argument, only loss, remorse, and pain. Trust me, if you want to absolutely OWN the forum, put an argument in your stuff. It will boost it beyond your wildest dreams. Give your piece something to strive for, not just pure wrath and hate and pain; make people think. Give them stuff that stops them in their tracks not because of the shock value, but because it engages their minds and they don't understand what you said. You need to give people something that they can interpret themselves, because then the text is new to everyone, they don't see the exact same thing that everyone else did. Maybe that helped...(Maybe I should turn into a literary critic too.[yeah right]).
i was only trying to convey loss and pain. i dont know if there really was a message, i was trying to more so paint a picture for people, a momentary thought put into words.
im not going for nobel prize literature, but more like song lyrics that serve the song, as opposed to a song that serves the lyrics.
Conveying an impression or mental state is not necessarily an inferior purpose to making an argument, especially considering the fact that this is presumably one song among many, or at least several. Concept albums aren't the only ones that expand and clarify an argument through the progression of songs. But a message is hardly necessary, and, in this case, seems superfluous to the intent that went into the song.
In any case, speaking of a song lyric as a 'text' as though it exists independently of the song as a whole is misleading. Some songs would never work with ambiguous or opaque lyrics; for others they are virtually a necessity. The lyric in question is relatively straightforward, but it doesn't necessarily lack anything by that. It would depend on the song, since lyrics are just one part of a polyphonic structure.
Though, in general, I do think it's often a good idea to write lyrics that require some interpretation. However, it's often more important to write a line that's memorable and pleasant-sounding, one that will cause the listener to grab at the lyric sheet, not, or at least not primarily, out of shock or a need to interpret, but simply out admiration for a skillfully phrased line. A lot of people's favorite lyrics fall along those lines, though not everybody's.
As for the lyric itself: it seems well-written enough. I'm not a huge fan of your choice of imagery, but that's personal taste. You might want to change the 'kiss' in the antepenultimate line into something stronger, more vicious so it better fits with the distinction in the next lines between 'whisper' and 'scream.'
I don't know about all that, but I thought it was pretty darn haunting. It had a romantic yet dark feel to it which I liked. Most times when I read a line about Satan it's on the lame side, but the pne used here was not bad at all. The lines about the sickle/ rose/ valentine were my favorites. I got a lot of emotion and imagery from this one. It appealled to my feminine taste is about the only way I can say it.
Nice one. What type of music do you have inmind if it's a song?
that was pretty damn good i reckon.
i can easily see that commanding a gothic doom metal song.
an opeth like tune, all distorted maybe with some harpsichord, death vox.
thats what i write musically, anyways, so thats what i would write for it

The big move is complete; the big unpacking will take time.
I arrived at St. Rose Sunday evening and had my first day at the Archdiocese today. (Still there! This will be brief...)
Several comparative perks have caught my eye as I make this transition:
Perks of being a pastor: a big office and a private lavatory.
Perks of being an associate pastor: you sleep a whole better at night.
Perks of working downtown: lots of interesting things are within walking distance. If I can get out and walk several days a week, this'll be good!
OK back to work...

News: Joe Budden Airs Out Kat Stacks & Somaya Reece, "[Her] P*ssy Look Like KFC's Double Down"
Tuesday, May 4, 2010 1:40PM
Slaughterhouse's Joe Budden has launched a Twitter attack on ex-girlfriend Somaya Reece and alleged groupie Kat Stacks.
Dedicating a majority of his tweets to Kat, Budden let off an arsenal of disses.
"@ihatekatstacks i dunno whats worse, u... or the idiots that f*ck yo a** w/o droppin a odor eater in u ...," he wrote Monday (May 3). "@ihatekatstacks u get paid to f*ck but u still broke ??? n*ggaz is gettin discounts on that box or they just get it on the strength ?? @ihatekatstacks u look like a bowling pin w/o the curves ??? u be puttin lip balm on your p*ssy ?? @ihatekatstacks your p*ssy got a iphone app ?? @ihatekatstacks i'd stick my d*ck in cat litter b4 i Showed u my boxers b*tch !!! ... lol.... @ihatekatstacks p*ssy look like KFC's double down ??

Kat Stacks shared her reactions to Budden via Twitter.
"His jokes are not funny ... people just re-tweeting him 'cause they groupies & wanna fit in ...

Seriously when's the last time any of you Rappers was on headlines if it wasn't for Kat Stacks lol ..." (Kat Stacks' Twitter)
Reece also took to Twitter to respond to Budden's remarks.
"@mousebudden Hey. I thought you blocked me hmmmm??? Isn't that what u LIED about on your BLOGTV before I served you w an attorney GAG ORDER @mousebudden I'm not scared of a man. NO MAN! Oh wait.

Last March, Budden offered some career advice toward Stacks.
"i think if Katstacks REALLY wanted the net 2 go crazy, she'd let her manager do a few blogs.. i'd love 2 hear his "master plan" 4 her.. lol," he wrote Tuesday (March 30). " Never, momma raised me better RT @GodSon83 I heard she got some dirt on u too..." (Joe Budden's Twitter)

Debt Ceiling Debate: High Hopes and Low Expectations
Hopes are high but expectations are low for the coming debate over the debt ceiling. Congress is scheduled to return to session next week with only one month before the suspension of the statutory spending limit expires, and already Democrats and Republicans are taking positions in the trenches that have been dug on either side of the aisle.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), who helped broker the stopgap deal in October that ended the partial government shutdown and suspended the debt ceiling until February 7, is expected to champion the conservative position in the debate. The five-term senator faces reelection in 2014 and, despite a fairly strong reputation with many conservatives, is facing pressure from the far right. In part, this is because he has reached across the aisle in order to conduct the business of the nation — or, as those even farther to the right would frame it, he acquiesced.
"I doubt if the House, or for that matter, the Senate, is willing to give the president a clean debt ceiling increase," McConnell said in December. Although he hasn't outlined any of the specific conditions he wants to put on the table, spending cuts are likely at the top of the list.

The Oregon health Authority (OHA) is requesting applications for Advisory Group members to review and advise the OHA on the implementation of Common Credentialing in Oregon. Individuals who represent credentialing organizations, health care practitioners and health care regulatory boards are encouraged to apply.
When Willamette Valley Community Health looked for ways to improve the care they provide to Oregon Health Plan members, they focused on members who live with chronic illnesses and who are frequent visitors to the emergency department.
Across Oregon, coordinated care organizations (CCOs) are working on a local level to transform the health care delivery system to bring better health, better care and lower costs to Oregonians. To provide status updates on the state's progress towards these goals, the Oregon Health Authority (OHA) is publishing quarterly reports showing performance data, financial data, and progress toward reaching benchmarks, beginning with 2011 baseline data.
The Tillamook County Health Department long ago integrated public health services into its federally qualified health center's three clinics. And a few years ago the clinics brought a mental health provider on staff for part of two days each week. But now the health department has teamed up with the Tillamook Family Counseling Center to embed a full-time behavioral health consultant in the clinics.
Health care providers at PrimaryHealth of Josephine County are collaborating in new ways and more often than ever before. The Southern Oregon coordinated care organization has developed a "Community Learning Collaborative" program that brings together physical, behavioral, and primary care and women's health care providers.
The InterCommunity Health Network wants to help Oregon Health Plan members avoid unnecessary trips to the emergency department. The coordinated care organization serving Linn, Benton and Lincoln counties has launched a "Hospital-to-Home" initiative at Samaritan Albany General Hospital to reach out to people with certain chronic conditions who are at a higher risk of being readmitted within 30 days of leaving the hospital.
When Oregon Health Plan members leave the hospital, the health care team at Eastern Oregon Coordinated Care Organization has a single goal: making sure people – especially those who are frequently in the emergency department and hospital – have what they need to get well sooner and stay well longer.

If you're reading this, you're probably the sort of sports fan who waits to start up a NCAA Football dynasty until somebody's gone and given all the players names correlating with individuals who happen to suit up for actual college football teams. You probably are, because I have no idea why you're reading this otherwise.
There are some named rosters already out there for the XBox 360 and PlayStation 3, but I can't comment on any of them, as I'm waiting on Operation Sports to finish up their free (though donations are welcome) rosters, which will also include other crowd-sourced edits like added players, slightly altered ratings, and so forth. I've used theirs before, and they've been mighty nice.
They've got threads going for both the 360 and the PS3, and it looks like they'll be done soon. The best part is Notre Dame fans chiming in to make sure Not Tommy Rees' ball-carrying skills go down. Once they're done, expect those linked posts to be edited with info on how to download.
While we're here, let's watch some of the many fine college football videos from SB Nation's Youtube channel:

3.93/5 rDev -1.8%
A: The pour is a nice golden color, sporting a huge white head which leaves minimal lacing on the glass.
S: There is certainly the Belgian yeast character coming through on the nose, as are some spicy and floral hops. A bit of sweet malt comes through as well.
T: Not exactly what I was expecting from a Pizza Port IPA (Belgian or not). Definitely a good bitterness, along with some spicy and floral hop flavors. A malty backbone presents itself as well.
M: The body is medium with a fairly high level of carbonation.
D: As mentioned previously, not really what you might expect from a PP IPA, but still not too shabby. I think I'd rather stick with one of their American style offerings, though.

Pours a bright golden color, with a huge, rocky, white head. Very nice aromatics on this one: Spicy Belgian yeast, light candi sugar and fresh hops. On the palate, this one is very nicely balanced between California and Belgium. Possibly the best Belgian IPA I've had.

Central States Plastic has released the newest tool in the ongoing fight to keep truck wheels properly torqued.
The lightweight Torque Fin (less than 6 pounds) allows one-man torque checking at recommended intervals of 5,000 miles.
"When tires do come off it is within the first 175 to 3000 miles" according to Jared Austin of Central States. "Wheels generally should be torque checked after the first 50 to 100 miles of having a wheel reset on the hub."

Thick fog at Melbourne Airport has thrown the city's air traffic into chaos this morning, with airlines forced to hold Melbourne-bound flights on the ground or divert them until conditions to improve.
A Jetstar spokeswoman said the departure of one flight each from Adelaide, Sydney and Newcastle had been delayed while the weather conditions were monitored, but by 10am those flights were on their way.
''The fog appears to be starting to clear,'' she said.
''The three aircraft we had held have either departed or are about to depart from the airport. The flight coming from Christchurch has landed.''
The fog has caused Qantas to diverted four inbound flights, one from Los Angeles and another from Auckland, with two flights from Canberra forced to turn around after taking off.
QF94 from Los Angeles was diverted to Sydney QF132 from Auckland was diverted Adelaide, but both have now arrived. The two Canberra flights have also touched down.
''We've had inbound flights delayed by up to 64 minutes, which has obviously had a corresponding effect on outbound services as well,'' said a Qantas spokesman.
Virgin Blue also suffered disruptions today but said the backlog should be cleared by mid-afternoon.
''The main impact of the fog at the moment is with aircraft landing, which is causing flow on effects for our departure schedule,'' said a Virgin Blue spokesman.
He said the airline diversions four flights and cancelled another four. He said the affected guests could be delayed by several hours.
''Guests have been quite understanding that we have no control over weather impacts and air traffic control requirements,'' he said.
Dean Sgarbossa, duty forecaster at the Bureau of Meteorology, said the fog is expected to clear some time before 11am.
''Much of the metropolitan area is in a combination of mist and fog, and that is expected to continue for the next hour or so,'' he told The Age.
"It should start to break up about the 10am or 11am mark. The airport has been in fog for the last couple of hours. The visibility is down to the 500 metre mark with very low cloud as well.''
Mr Sgarbossa said a high-pressure ridge situated over the state produces conditions favourable to fog formation.
''As we move move further into winter we can also expect an increased number of fog days,'' he said.
A sunny day is expected once the fog lifts.

Ok...the title was probably a little over-dramatic.
Speaking of dramatic, it was kind of like the Big Red Breakfast this morning...i.e. drama! So what happened?If you've been living under a rock this morning, you may not have heard that a well-meaning (assuming) fan, took an issue with JP stating that the team's goals were still intact after the UCLA track meet. In this fan's opinion, the teams goals had shifted (at some point) from winning national championships to just mere Big 10 championships. JP stated that this wasn't true and that a national championship is still a goal and is still intact. The fan pursued it further by basically saying it wasn't possible.
JP took offense to that.
So he did what any defensive coordinator would do...he pissed a circle around his team, grabbed a sharp stick and defended it to the death like the ancient warriors of old. Watch the video for more:
It sucks that we really can't hear what all the guy is saying, but needless to say he pressed JP's buttons. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, we really can't be sure from that clip. Some people that attended have said that JP tried to apologize to the fan for losing his cool and the fan stated that well, you SHOULD apologize.
The question (about goals) in and of itself was fair, if ill-conceived. Sure, perhaps JP could've handled it better by pulling a Drew Rosenhaus and saying "Next question," and then addressing the fan afterwards, if need be. It doesn't do any good to get pissed at a fan at a prominent booster function, even if the guy who asked it was being...how do you put it? A dick. A big one. Even if he wasn't intending to be one, he was one and one can certainly understand the feeling of wanting to throttle said person. Which kind of leads me to my next point.
Perhaps this thing is kind of starting to go a bit sideways? Hear me out.
Even though the UCLA thing was bad, it was just a game, after all. We've seen worse over the last decade or so here (2001 Colorado anyone?) But I think this speaks to more than some uneasiness and discord among the fan base, apparently more than even I thought, that has been bubbling under the surface for a while now, slowly building. And then UCLA happens, and BOOM!! The bubble popped and things are starting to come out among our fans that probably wouldn't have before. There's no longer a huge fear of being ridiculed or ostracized by publicly questioning or speaking out on Pelini and what exactly is going on down in Lincoln. People are asking "what exactly IS this process he keeps speaking of, and why hasn't it yielded the results?"
We'll find out more answers as the season progresses, of course. Strap in boys and girls, this ride may get bumpy.
