Love without the Titles

Tue Jul 15, 2008, 8:00 AM
  • Mood: Lazy
Hey Everyone!

I wanted to thank all of you for hanging with me through the good times and the bad- the artistic failures and the artistic triumphs (haha, right).

It's probably frustrating to the few of those who are patiently waiting for me to get off my laurels (what's a laurel?) and finally do something. Probably even more frustrating when I say I'm going to do something, and it falls by the wayside. It's never intentional, but life and lack of motivation gets in the way.

But don't you worry... things are gonna change around here. Mark my words!

Love ya!

~Justin

Laurel is a tree found in Greece, but I don't know why they use it as descriptor for your bum.

Uh, a laurel is a type of tree which is typically used in carvings found on medals and awards. You know, that leafy branch that has leaves going all up the sides all along the branch. To "rest on one's laurels" is to basically coast by on the after-glow of previous successes.

So to get off one's laurels is to put aside past successes and march forward to earn new praise and acclaim.

Get me?

If you have any questions about what I've just posted, please don't hesitate to ask. Or, you know, cram it. They both work for me.

Dude, someone just explained it... and it makes sense now. I always wondered why my mom would say that. =)

Very true my friend. Very true =)

Hey, hit me up with a note, or an e-mail. What do you want me to draw/sketch for you now that the writing end for POAT is mostly complete?

If I had my way I'd wish them away,
but I can't find the magic inside of me.
I'll give my best,
'cause I can give no more,
but your problems aren't solved so easily.
I'm not someone that you should run to.
I've been, often, as broken as you,
more often than you'd like me to.
If I could heal all the pain that you feel,
I'd gladly cure all that ails you inside.
Unfortunately, I have no degree and I can not anesthetize.
I'm not someone that you should run to.
I've been, often, as broken as you,
more often than you'd like me to.
I wish that I could help you.
I can't even help myself.
It seems you need a saving grace and a savior's something I'm not.
I wish that I could help you.
I can't even help myself.

There's a war going on for your mind
Media mavens mount surgical strikes from trapper keeper collages and online magazine racks
Cover girl cutouts throw up pop-up ads
Infecting victims with silicone shrapnel
Worldwide passenger pigeons deploy paratroopers
Now it's raining pornography
Lovers take shelter
Post-production debutantes pursue you in nascar chariots
They construct ransom letters from biblical passages and bleed mascara into holy water supplies

There's a war going on for your mind
Industry insiders slang test tube babies to corporate crackheads
They flash logos and blast ghettos
Their embroidered neckties say "stop snitchin'"
Conscious rappers and whistleblowers get stitches made of acupuncture needles and marionette strings

There is a war going on for your mind
Professional wrestlers and vice presidents want you to believe them
The desert sky is their bluescreen
They superimpose explosions
They shout at you
"pay no attention to the men behind the barbed curtain
Nor the craters beneath the draped flags
Those hoods are there for your protection
And meteors these days are the size of corpses

There's a war going on for your mind
We are the insurgents
