i lift my lids and all is born again<br />
(i think i made you up inside my head)<br />
<br />
the stars go waltzing out in blue and red<br />
and arbitrary blackness gallops in<br />
i shut my eyes and all the world drops dead<br />
<br />
i dreamed you bewitched me into bed<br />
sung me moonstruck, kissed me quite insane<br />
(i think i made you up inside my head)<br />
<br />
god topples from the sky, hell's fires fade<br />
exit seraphim and satan's men<br />
i shut my eyes and all the world drops dead<br />
<br />
i fancied you'd return the way you said<br />
but i grow old and forget your name<br />
(i think i made you up inside my head)<br />
<br />
i should have loved a thunderbird instead<br />
at least when spring comes they roar back again<br />
i shut my eyes and all the world drops dead<br />

and now finals will be coming up shortly.<br />
so, work and school are stressful, so what do i do?  go look for a <i>second</i> job!  ...sometimes i wonder about myself.<br />
<br />
just developed some photos i had taken, and was unsure of how old the film was.  turns out:  old.  as in, 90% of the photos are from december '04.  most are of `<a class="u" href="http://mkinne.deviantart.com/">mkinne</a> and there's one of the xmas tree with a beer can on top.<br />
<br />
fun, fun.<br /><br /><div align="center"><img src="http://www.phoenixtx.com/phoenix_sig.gif" alt="~Phoenix"></img></div> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ <sub>{<a href="http://www.phoenixtx.com/blog">blog</a>}</sub><br /><br />work is killing me.<br />
but, at least i'll be making good money this paycheck, considering all that i've pretty much done the past few days is sit at a laptop working.  <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/blankstare.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":|" title=":| (Blank Stare)" /><br />
<br />
i've been thinking.  (amazing, i know.)  i still really want to move to oregon someday...eventually... and, i've been looking at milwaukie, oregon.  anyone live there or have been there?  i'd love to hear anything about it.  i plan on visiting it sometime, but as a broke minnesotan, that's a bit difficult.<br /><br /><div align="center"><img src="http://www.phoenixtx.com/phoenix_sig.gif" alt="~Phoenix"></img></div> ]]></description>

it's a matchbox twenty lyric that i have loved since i first heard it; it has a ton of meaning for me.<br />
besides, i think it's quite fitting for a poet, no? <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/wink.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";)" title=";) (Wink)" /><br />

forgive the shininess, as there is lotion on the tattoo.<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ <sub>{<a href="http://www.phoenixtx.com/blog">blog</a>}</sub><br /><br />i seem to have hit a bit of a creative streak as of late.  just started a new poem tonight, so hopefully that will be up soon. <br />
<br />
thank god spring break is coming up.  i'm feeling horribly overwhelmed from school work.  as it is, i still have to read 6 chapters for poetry, 4 chapters for mythology, write two papers (for poetry and mythology), finish a website, and... hrm.  other things.<br />
oh, yeah, and send out more transcripts so i can go to another college.<br />
<br />
anyway, as a poor college student, i have to ask:  anyone willing to donate a few bucks to keep my subscription running, since it dies in a few days?  <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/p/please.gif" width="15" height="22" alt=":please:" title="Please" /><br />
i'll love you forever.  really.<br /><br /><div align="center"><img src="http://www.phoenixtx.com/phoenix_sig.gif" alt="~Phoenix"></img></div> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ <sub>{<a href="http://www.phoenixtx.com/blog">blog</a>}</sub><br /><br />look, people.  overcoming depression isn't as simple as thinking happy thoughts about pink fluffy kittens, okay?  advice about thinking about your first boyfriend, or going through a scrapbook - hell, maybe it'll cheer you up if you're sad.  if you're depressed, it is more likely to make you <i>more</i> depressed.  i sure as hell can vouch for that.<br />
when you are at the very bottom, you <i>can't</i> simply say "hey!  i'm going to be happy today," no matter how hard you try.  on better days, it may work somewhat.  sometimes you can, well, ignore the depression, but you still can't make it go away.  it's not that easy.  depression is not simply having an off day or three.  it's not about feeling bad to get attention. telling a depressed person how life is short and how they should feel happy is not going to make anything better.<br />

and i'm missing a certain person and hating it, because i feel like i shouldn't be missing him.  <br />
<br />
blog should be back up in a few days, i hope, after being down for like two weeks or more.  <br />
i hate ace hosting.  <br />

i'm so angry and hurt now.<br />
that was my outlet.<br />
i'm hurt, and bitter, and scared.  and i want to bring my blog back up but i'm scared to do so.<br />
i don't know what to do. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" /><br /><br /><div align="center"><img src="http://www.phoenixtx.com/phoenix_sig.gif" alt="~Phoenix"></img></div> ]]></description>

1) my domain is down, i paid for three years renewal which apparantly has not kicked in, and i've been given the run around by four different places, and none are being any help.<br />
2) the government has decided to shut down even more sites... one easy example being: <a href="http://www.gapingmaw.com/">[link]</a><br />
3) one of my favorite sites, <a href="http://www.bmezine.com">bme</a> had to remove its servers from the states because it is now illegal.  if it stayed - the owners would have faced <i>life imprisionment</i>. Â for fucking body modication information and photos!<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ apologies for never being around here  anymore, it seems.  shame on me.<br />
<br />
i've been busy being distracted by <a href="http://www.bmezine.com">bme</a>  and attempting to make an effort to  attend classes this semester.  come the  last day of class, i'm awarding myself  with a piercing.  and i still need to  dye my hair.  <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" />  <br />
<br />
i haven't been writing much as of late,  as my newest medication has pretty much  killed my ability to write, cry, or  concrentate.  but, hey, i'm feeling  better, i think.<br />
<br />
tomorrow i have to go job and apartment  hunting, which promises to entail tons  of fun.  i guess the current housing  that i'm in is being taken over by a  new realtor.  it'd be good to get out  before that happens, as we are unsure  whether we will be kicked out or not.<br />
<br />
and, of course, since i have a constant  need to whore myself out - my blog is  always updated and can be accessed <a href="http://www.phoenixtx.com/blog">here</a>.<br /><br /><div align="center"><img src="http://www.phoenixtx.com/phoenix_sig.gif" alt="~Phoenix"></img></div> ]]></description>

Maybe I'll disappear<br />
Tracks will fade in the snow<br />
You won't find me here<br />

Ice is starting to form<br />
Ending what had begun<br />
I am locked in my head<br />
With what I've done<br />
I know you tried to rescue me<br />
Didn't let anyone get in<br />
Left with a trace of all that was<br />
And all that could have been<br />

Take this<br />
And run far away<br />
Far away from me<br />
I am<br />
Tainted<br />
The two of us<br />
We're never meant to be<br />
All these<br />
Pieces<br />
And promises and left behinds<br />
If only I could see<br />
In my<br />

You meant everything<br />
Everything to me<br />
Gone fading everything<br />
And all that could have been<br />

Please<br />
Take this<br />
And run far away<br />
Far as you can see<br />
I am<br />
Tainted<br />
And happiness and peace of mind<br />
Were never meant for me<br />
All these<br />

And promises and left behinds<br />
If only I could see<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ so.  since i don't want to get rid of  the current poll, let me ask you this:<br />
if you are american, who did you vote  for?  why?<br />
<br />
i voted kerry.  personally, bush  strikes me as a dangerous idiot that  will slowly turn america onto the  course of a theocracy.<br />
<br />
<br />
....<br />
<br />
you know what america?  fuck you!  fuck  the close-minded fearful bigots that  can't tolerate someone that's gay.   fuck you people that prattle on about  the sanctity of marriage, something  that doesn't even truly exist in the  minds and hearts of most people taking  those vows.<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ <a href="http://www.nanowrimo.org/">nanowrimo</a>: Â national novel writing  month.<br />
<br />
i am a masochist, it appears, and have  signed up to attempt to write a 50,000  word novel in one month. Â <i>one month</i>.<br />
<br />
so anyway, my question is:  any plot  ideas? Â i have one, but at some points  it hits too close to home to be wholly  comfortable. Â any ideas, boring or  radical, would be appreciated.<br /><br /><div align="center"><img src="http://www.phoenixtx.com/phoenix_sig.gif" alt="~Phoenix"></img></div> ]]></description>

there is a new poem up, though - <a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/11272110/">china  white</a>.  not sure if i should scrap it  or not yet.  i just can't find a good  way to end it, really.<br />
<br />
anyway.  has anyone noticed the  direction that my poetry is going?   it's been through the whole angst and  love stages.  now it's in "murder,  whores, and heroin junkies" stage.  is  that disturbing to anyone else?<br />
<br />
i'm moving out in less than a month.  <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/boogie.gif" width="25" height="25" alt=":boogie:" title="Boogie!" />   no more dorm!<br /><br /><div align="center"><img src="http://www.phoenixtx.com/untitled.gif" alt="~Phoenix"></img></div> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ <sub>ripped from my <a href="http://www.phoenixtx.com">blog</a>.<br />
why i cannot, and will not, vote for  bush.</sub><br /><br />camp x-ray.  camp delta.<br />
<br />
the average american knows little, if  anything, about those two camps.  the  american media falls into two camps  here:  those that did not report on it,  and those that did were denied much  access and information.<br />
<br />
they are essentially concentration  camps.  camp x-ray first, and later  camp delta took over when the  aforementioned closed.  prisoners were  kept in small cages, given filthy  (yellow, or black) water.  the food was  sometimes up to 10 years past the  expiration date.  the detainees were  routinely tortured.  devout muslims,  who had never before seen a woman  unveiled, were tortured and <a href="http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/allnews/content_objectid=14042696_method=full_siteid=50143_headline=-MY-HELL-IN-CAMP-X-RAY-name_page.html">humiliated</a>  by being forced to watch naked  prostitutes masturbate.  some would be  bound, hand and feet, together. in camp  x-ray, prisoners were allowed to  "exercise" for 5 minutes a day.  camp  delta alloted them 15 minutes.  guards  would mock the muslim religion, denying  water for prayers, or kicking the  koran.  washington itself has stated  that those kept in these camps have no  rights.  <i><a href="http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article3062.htm">children</a></i> are in these  chain-linked, razor-wired, dog and  sniper-guarded prisons.  the prisoners,  upon arrival, are given "<a href="http://www.alkhilafah.info/massacres/afghanistan/campxray.htm">comfort items</a> ", or ci.  these include a blanket, a  bucket for human waste, a copy of the  koran, and toothpaste.  a ci is  frequently withheld, often due to just  the whim of a guard.  prisoners are  held "indefinately."  some attempt <a href="http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/allnews/page.cfm?objectid=12183615&method=full&siteid=50143"> suicide</a>.<br />
<br />
there are roughly 660 prisoners  currently, none of which have been <a href="http://www.campxray.org/">tried</a>  or convicted.  rather, they <a href="http://www.time.com/time/world/article/0,8599,197159,00.html">suffer</a>  here because of our administration's  "war on terror."<br />
<br />
this all has taken place under <b> president bush</b>, who has yet to step in  and remedy the situation.  rather, his  presidency attempts to keep this quiet  from the american public.<br /><br /> ]]></description>
