when there's no better way to grow up than to act like you already have
when you're all out of patience and your girl just left and you're workin' all night just to keep up
when you're searchin' for something but you don't know who, where, or what
but you know that you just haven't found it yet
and life's creepin' up on you, inch by inch, day by day
and those letters you've been receiving don't have that much to say
you're asking, why? why's it gotta be this way? what am I doing here? why do I have to go out every Saturday night runnin' from something that's not even there?
and your written word's missin' a certain verb that would tell you just what to do
but it's hard to concentrate in this intoxicated view
and your banjo strings are always outta tune
and every night you're up late croonin' under the blue moon
you might as well just up and leave, head on down to Tennessee

"From the Platonic perspective, the fundamentals of existence are the archetypal Ideas, which constitute the intangible substrate of all that is tangible. The true structure of the world is revealed not by the senses, but by the intellect, which in its highest state has direct access to the Ideas governing reality. All knowledge presupposes the existence of the Ideas. The archetypal realm, far from being an unreal abstraction or imaginary metaphor for the concrete world, is here considered to be the very basis of reality, that which determines its order and renders it knowable. To this end, Plato declared direct experience of the transcendent Ideas to be the philosopher's primary goal and ultimate destination."

- Richard Tarnas, The Passion of the Western Mind

Well I guess I can elaborate a little more. I'm done. You know who you are, everyone else probably does as well. I'm happy for us. I'm still writing about you. Look for it in the mail. Don't worry, it's a good thing this time. This happened a while ago, I just haven't gotten around to telling anyone. Oh, and that's not the only reason I'm feeling free.

It seems another year has come to a close - I've decided to write about my year, partially so I can look back. It's been a long year, I've gone through many changes, and I leave this year a whole different person. To mention a few major happenings of my year...


...I entered the year doing what I love, and chasing what I needed least. I fell dangerously in love, then fell out, to say the least. I became selfish, short-sighted, arrogant, ignorant, and everything else I have begun to hate. I delved into the underside of the world, became addicted to my shallow excuse, then was forced to take a look at myself by a man with confused intentions. I found a hero of which to blame my problems on, then found him as an inspiration to change. I retreated into my basement and spent a while contemplating life, reading, writing, and recording. I went to the east coast for a while, rid myself of old habits, snapped back to reality, got really angry, and began to study that which is necessary. I started to sort out my priorities, and further sank into myself. I hurt someone to which I've never fixed relations with. I said hello at a mall, changed my mind outside the school, and found myself with a new agenda and new friends. I stumbled upon a book which showed me truth, threw me in tune with religion, and showed me past hurtful tradition. I got caught up in a joke and found someone special, and found truth in my new experiences. I visited places and states of mind I had never been before, and I enjoyed them. I visited an evil side of myself, and vowed to my lover to never let it free again. I went in a full circle back to the start of the year, but arrived this time with all that I need.


I've gotta say this was, if not a good year, a transforming year. I finished my first album (demo), which feels good to be done, and I've developed my thoughts and goals quite extensively. I've become more in tune with the world, started reading the paper, and have decided to do something worthwhile with my life. I've increasingly heightened the bar of selfishness, criticized myself into the ground, and found motivation to my music. I've discussed many a thing, and had way too many late or non-existent nights. I've found a girl who I love.

I would like to predict that next year will be filling out the holes in my philosophy, but i was wrong about that last year - though i feel something's different this year. I feel my aspirations will stay the same, but my method of carrying them out will change as i continue to learn - after all, I've set myself up to do just that.

I wish you all the best, may your year treat you well, and may you stay in good spirits if your year treats you badly. Keep your stick on the ice.


God bless,

- Aaron Comeau

Something in your touch which speaks of danger
In shadows on the other side of town

Sunlight in the wilderness of heartache
Laughter in the desert of despair
Island in the ocean of my sorrow
Watch for me you know that I'll be there

Rainbows for the missles of Utopia
Roses for the monks of Hindustan
Kisses for your wisdom in half-light
Build another daydream if you can

Come to me in choirs of soft chrysanthemums
Comfort me in plagues of blood and dust
Hold me til the skies have fallen down again
Is there still an angel I can trust?

This document hereby declares the authorization of mental terror and military force to be used by Aaron Comeau and all affiliates against the following companies/corporations:

- Abercrombie & Fitch
- Hollister
- American Eagle
- H & M

The preceding stores are guilty of fueling and co-creating an age of selfish and materialistic youth, for poisoning the minds of teenagers and people in their 20's, for overcharging on basic clothing, for creating a culture of overtly sexual youth, and for marketing and mass-producing individual cultural icons such as, and predominantly, ripped clothes (mainly jeans).

Abercrombie & Fitch and Hollister is the main target of this offensive (Hollister is owned by A & F). American Eagle is next on the list. H & M isn't quite as bad, but due to cultural connections (though unintended) they're along for the ride.

I hereby encourage you to do the world a favour and not support this harmful and selfish culture.


Written and edited by Comeau, approved by Callan and Comeau.

Love Hungry Man - AC/DC - thats not good.

Will i have a happy life?
Won't Get Fooled Again - The Who - i'll have a hard life, but it'll be worth it. (then i'll get down on my knees and pray we dont get fooled again).

What do people really think of me?
M'Lady - Sly and the Family Stone - what's that supposed to mean?

Do people secretly lust after me?
Teardrops Will Fall - Ry Cooder - i'm too in love to care...

How can i make myself happy?
The Happiest Days Of Our Lives - Pink Floyd - thanks for the update, dumbass. i want to know how, not when.

What should i do with my life?
Jack Straw - The Grateful Dead - share all you have, keep on moving, have fun, travel the world, finish what you start. (we can share the women, we can share the wine).

Will I ever have children?
A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall - Bob Dylan - hey, bob dylan loves children.

What is some good advice for me?
Ashes In The Fall - Rage Against The Machine - the world isn't what it seems. everything you hear could be lies, think about what your preacher tells you, your fellow human can be heartless and many people won't give a damn what they do to others (ain't it funny how the factory doors close round the time the school doors close).

What do i think my current theme song is?
Live With Me - The Rolling Stones - oh yeah.

What does everybody else think my current theme song is?
C Jam Blues - Oscar Peterson - a happy blues. that seems about right.

What song will play at my funeral?
Mess Around - Ray Charles - everybody do the mess around! don't mourn about my death, be happy that i lived.

What type of men/women do you like?
It's All Over Now, Baby Blue - Bob Dylan - no comment.

What is my day going to be like?
Hard Time Killing Floor Blues - Christ Thomas King (from O Brother, Where Art Thou?) - tomorrow doesn't look so bright. (well you hear me singin' my lonesome song, these hard times can last so very long).

Why am i here?
Espionage - Green Day - to infiltrate political and military information centres and obtain secrets the government has been keeping from the public. *pause* man.

What will people remember me for?
One Love/People Get Ready - Bob Marley - speaks for itself. no, no it doesn't. remember me for what you want to remember me for.

What song will get stuck in my head tomorrow?
The Prettiest Thing - Norah Jones - (lately i haven't been myself at all....i'm dreaming again, like i've always been, and way down low, i'm thinkin' of the prettiest thing...)

Are there people outside waiting to take me away?
Great Dream From Heaven - Ry Cooder - the lord'll come an' take me away one day, while i'm sittin' on an old rockin' chair on a porch in the sunlight on a country road, listening to the wind and the twang of my guitar, thinking about the love of my life who's sitting on the other side of the door, feelin' as though i've had a good life.

What will this year be all about?
Neil Gow's Lament For The Death of His Second Wife - The Barra MacNeils - you may not know it, or understand it, but this makes sense to me...

----------------------------------------

well, there ya have it. hope i didn't bore you, seein' as most of this was translated into the same old thing i always write about, but that's okay, it deserves it ('scuse my distance).

keep your stick on the ice.

now, i'm a man of few words, so here they are. this year has been quite an interesting one, i must say. from complications at bowmore, to musical escapades, to adventures in the summer, to finding a new place and new friends, i think this has been one of the best years of my life. i can't really find words to describe it, but for now, it can be summed up by the Steely Dan tune 'My Old School'. That's pretty much how I feel inside about this past year.
fare ye well everybody, see you in 2006.

to truly understand something you must look under its cover. something that seems perfectly good may be bad if you really think about it. and if something that's deemed bad happens, maybe it was meant to happen and had an effect on the greater good. you can justify anything with that. but then how do you make decisions? you can let things be, but what if you were meant to do something, decided to let things be, and fucked everything up? however, things might not be as fucked up as you think. there really is no answer to what you should do. so you just gotta go with whatever you happen to do. and if you can't decide, maybe that was supposed to happen. how can you do anything without the thought that maybe you fucked everything up? the truth is, you can't. i do hope that i find a way out of this. and if there isn't a way out? i don't know. if i'm not supposed to find the way out? is your life predetermined, or do you decide everything you do? questions, questions, questions........(answers? hello?) ]]> ~comeau http://comeau.deviantart.com/journal/6661650/ http://comeau.deviantart.com/journal/6661650/ Sun, 02 Oct 2005 16:51:20 PDT ~comeau http://comeau.deviantart.com/journal/6584840/ http://comeau.deviantart.com/journal/6584840/ Fri, 23 Sep 2005 19:55:45 PDT ~comeau http://comeau.deviantart.com/journal/6557463/ http://comeau.deviantart.com/journal/6557463/ Tue, 20 Sep 2005 18:20:13 PDT ~comeau http://comeau.deviantart.com/journal/6256700/ http://comeau.deviantart.com/journal/6256700/ Wed, 17 Aug 2005 21:57:50 PDT if you don't want yourself a plant

i'm sitting here in my basement....my lair....my home....my chamber. listening to audioslave. in a mood for it. it makes you more agreeable for some reason.

i'm talking to emily about her plan to lose 10 pounds. she weighs 111. she's trying to only eat 300 calories a day to lose the weight really fast. which is not the right way to go about it. with my persuasion to eat (i think), she now eats 800 calories every other day, which still isn't enough. i've worried myself sick over her, but yet she seems to not budge. i'm not gonna delve deeper into it, for i don't want to say anymore.

well, this believing thing is going a long way. many a thing have come true when i just believed it would happen. however i have been having trouble with the emily issue. but other than that, things are going well overall. i reached the semi-finals in the poetry competition for $1000. i have fully taken over the basement of my house. my guitar work is going really well. had a safe plane flight. simple small things that just pop up every so often. you may say those things are just a matter of working hard, but i really can't care less what you think at this moment in time, whoever you are. many other things have happened in the past that i just set my mind to: getting 4 weeks of homework done in 5 hours, several crushes this way and that, waking up wanting to stay home and my parents came down and asked if i wanted to stay home, missing the quebec trip and spending the money on recording equipment, recovering from mono at the exact right time.

i have managed to shake a pile of books with my mind. step 1 complete. and don't tell me i fuckin didn't, because i don't care at all whether you believe me or not.

things have been weird lately. very weird. i'm seeing the future. i remember things from dreams, then think about them through the day, then suddenly they pop up in the day. and i have been experiencing deja vu at least 3 or 4 times every day for some time now. i can play tricks on myself with my eyes. i can invert things to different ways and still see it that way. i can move and shake things so i just see it do it, but it still moves in my vision, im not just imagining it in my mind. theres a difference.

my mind is different. it's changing all the time. i'm a slave to what i feel. i come up with metaphors to everything i hear that can be made into a metaphor. without thinking about it. it just pops into my head. but i can't abuse it. it's a weird thing. i can't know that i'm gonna come up with a metaphor before it pops into my head, otherwise one won't. its like sneaking up on a sleeping creature to kill it. if it knew i was there, it would a hell of a lot harder to kill it than it being asleep.

believe. just believe. thats all you need to do. but its like the metaphors, you can't abuse it. so just believe. ]]> ~comeau http://comeau.deviantart.com/journal/6137448/ http://comeau.deviantart.com/journal/6137448/ Thu, 04 Aug 2005 23:43:32 PDT
i've been worrying about emily and her not eating. things are starting to get really weird lately. i've been coming up with crazy metaphors a lot of times every day. i've been having deja vu at least 3 or 4 times a day. i've seen things in dreams, thought about them through the day, then they just pop up. things have been happening just as i have believed they would happen. i shook a pile of books with my mind. i can invert things and move them with my mind, but only i can see it, and its not just imagined, theres a difference. friends are drifting apart little by little. believe. ]]> ~comeau http://comeau.deviantart.com/journal/5824811/ http://comeau.deviantart.com/journal/5824811/ Sat, 02 Jul 2005 22:09:21 PDT
This is my first journal entry. Wow, I've only been a member for 5 days and I've already written comments on 62 Deviations (43 of them today ). Anyways, Live8 was today, so I've had the TV on all day (which i never usually do because TV is evil). I'm glad that people are raising awareness about the poverty problem, because I feel really bad letting those people die over in Africa, but i'm trying to do things to help them.

There's something I'd wish to discuss here. A TV ad today brought me upon it. 50,000 people die every day from poverty. If 50,000 people died in one day in the U.S or Canada, there would be huge efforts from the government and all the citizens to try and help the people.

Take for instance, the Twin Towers attack. What was it, around 3000 or 4000 people that died? Anyways, the news was all over that, and people were sending in aid, and all that shit. This happens 15 (yes, i calculated it) times every day over in Africa, yet it's not all over the news, and the majority of the population here isn't helping. However, the Twin Towers attack did involve several buildings being destroyed, but you can't put a price on human life, so you decide if the attack was equal to 50,000 people dying.

Another example, the Tsunami disaster. That happened suddenly, and the death count over 5 days - a week (not sure) was around 150,000 people. People were rushing in aid, money, supplies, and going over there to help, and it was all over the news. People were talking about it at work, at school, and on the street. Yet in those 5 to 7 days where 150,000 people died there, 250,000 - 350,000 people died from poverty and that was on nobody's mind!

I'm not saying that helping all those people in those big disasters was bad, I'm just saying that we are experiencing those very same disasters every single day, yet the amount of people helping is much lower than what it was on those disasters. Yes, there are a lot of people helping, but not as many as I think could. I'm extremely glad Live8 is going on (as i said before), as it will raise awareness greatly about it, and help drop the debt on those countries. And to everybody who's reading this, I urge you to get off your ass and help them out somehow!

I liked what Raine Maidi of Our Lady Peace said today at Live8. He was being interviewed, and he said something along the lines of "I want my children in the future to say to me 'was there really poverty back then?' ". We wanna make poverty history. We'll do to poverty what we did to segregation. Refuse to live in a world that has it, refuse to let poverty exist. Do everything we can to stop it, and eventually people will be wondering what it would've been like living with poverty in the world. I long for a world like that.

Well, I'm gonna end this here. I hope my journal entry had some sort of effect on you, and i hope you've been inspired to do something about poverty. If I have made any mistakes in any facts, please correct me, I am open to anything like that. Please tell me what you think about this issue, I am open to discussion.

I'd like to say a big thank you to Bob Geldof, who organized Live8. You kick ass, man! (even though you will most likely never read this)

In the words of Dr. Seuss, I said what I meant and I meant what I said.
