I miss you.

So many mixed emotions....

So many thoughts keep piling up in my mind.

Today was the first day I, myself actually did the laundry at residence. Before anyone who reads this says 'ew' it is becasue up until this point I have brought my laundry home to be washed every other weekend.

It was quite the adventrue. I needed two one dollar coins, one for the washer and one for the dryer. I had but one coin. So seeing as I needed some food and juice for the week I went to Dominion, where I bought fruit juice and licorice. Guess what? It cam to exactly 15 dollars in change. I would have asked the clerk to give me loonies instead of a 5 dollar bill, but as she handed me my change she had already ringed in the next two customers purchases. In my room I have a lot of spare change, mostly quarters. So and idea sparked in ym mind. I gathered up 9 quaters, or for those of you who aren't to quick with math, $2.25. I went to a vending machine and placed all the quarters inside. Then I bought Twix bar for $1.25, and out came exaclty one loonine in change.

Proboly the most exciting thing that happened to me today. Filling me with a feeling of acomplishment.

Then there is the feeling of love. Although I have not seen her for soon to be 3 weeks, Caley phoned my today, just as she always does. I feel bad becasue I know I need to call her just as much. Three times we talked on the phone. I love talking to her. What we talked about is irrelevent, just the fact that we talked. I closed my eyes as we spoke, imagining she was right there beside me. If only I could get a phone that had surround sound.

Now late at night I have another feeling.

sorrow.

I warn you, unless you feel like crying do not read. This is my mind and I do not sensor what I write for others.

I read aloud the poem I just recently posted on this blog, as if I was giving a speech. The sad thing is where would I say it. I know where. The vision fills my eyes. A funeral. Such things I do not desire to think about. But I know I must.

Every night I pray. I thank God for the day, I ask him to forgive the sinners, and to watch over everyone. But before all that I say good night. To my grandfather Pa, to my savior Jesus, to a friend who a barely knew Carlton, to my dreams of tommorow and the will I follow, Dragon Master. To my grandmother Ma, and my great grandmother Nanny. I know they are watching over me always.

When my grandfather died, it was strange. I wish I could remember how old I was, but I can't. All of my family and relitives cried. I suppose it was expected. I never expected such a thing. I went into the one building that too this day I hate to even look at, Scotts funeral home. There I said goodbye. As I sat in the church, where he used to go every sunday I cried. As I watched everyone around me cry. Is such sorrow meant to be? It was years later until I saw where his ashes had been placed. It was his death that began my infactuation with time itself and mortaility. I was so young, and out of rage I promised something I could not keep. That no one I loved would die again.

It's not that fact that they died that hurts the most. It the fact that you know they won't becomming around for coffee anymore or sitting you upon their knee. Oh if he was here now. I know he can see me, but to put his arm around me...

Carlton was the second time I went to that funeral home. He was my dad's friend, and I remember sitting out side the doors of the chapel and drawing. I was so little, yet as I look back I could never understand how mature I was. I drew the one hero I could always rely on, Dragon Master. The quote that accompanied the drawing was something along the lines of: "I shall always be here as long as people remember and need me.". Even if I was only 10, what kinda kid says something like that?

Then my grandmother passed away. I feel the need to type all this, but for no reason. My eyes are watering with each thought. Before that we visited her more and more often. She was in a small apartment, just big enough for her, and she always had guest. We would make her crafts and cards, and no matter how many she would always find room for them on the table. I have a harder time remember this funeral. There are certain thing I remember though. I tried so hard to show strength. To not cry, but just let the tears roll down my face. Each one of my grandmothers children (seven in total), thier eldest child carried the coffin to the car. I was the youngest of the first borns from each family. As the exterior doors opened I looked out to see the sky raining like the heavens themselves had nothing but tears. I said goodbye, and wacthed them drive away. We put her ashes next to my grandfathers. I was there for that, and we each placed a rose on top of the plaque.

The last death, was that of my great grandmother, who we all called Nanny. She was very old, but nothing could stop this determined woman. Every year, no matter what, she go on a plane and flew to Ireland for 4 months, and back. There was not a kinder soul I new. But she was very sick, and it was her time to go. I was 17 I believe. In the same chapel, in the same funeral home I played on the organ 'my heart will go on'. I didn't cry. I wrote her a card, and read it a loud to her and all who were there to remember her. When the casket was open I touched her hand. I will never forget the feeling of someone who is no longer with us. Still I didn't cry. I was dressed in black, with my leather trench coat on when we arrived at the cemetary. She was not cremated, but burried near a tree he late husband, who I never met, planted. Sure as I could be the heavens opened once more to hide my face. Tears broke my eyes and once again I cried, just as I wish I could do now.

I miss them.

But what kinda fool would I be if I didn't beleive I would see them again.
Cherish every moment of life, don't let a second go bye. Tell those you love how much you love them, get away from your video games, televisons and computers and spend time with those people around you. For one day they will be gone. Not forever, but for a while.

I will see you again,
and I love all of you...

but I will keep on living until that bright sun light cuts the horizon and I am called home.

God damn I miss you....

The Sunrise....

Such things were never meant to happen...
But they do.
We lose those closest to us,
and we miss them more then anything else.
No bargins to be made,
just the cold truth that the dawn will come,
and that they will no longer be there.
All we can remember are the memories,
the times we shared,
and that they will always be with us,
in our hearts,
and watching over us each day.
Although we can not bring them back,
or replace them,
we just have to believe that we will see them again.
And when we do we will never have to say good bye.

One day,
One day the sun will rise and never set.
The world will be lush and full of life again...
As we stand there surounded by such beauty,
we wonder what could be missing.
And just as the thought crosses our minds there they are...
Everyone we have missed,
Everyone we have lost,
They walk towards us.
Tears roll down our faces as our hands touch,
for the first time in so long.

Together again,
No longer alone.

That sun rise will come.
Although I long for it,
I won't run towards it.
I will wait for the bright light to cut the horizon,
And for that day to come.

I know it is comming,

and I know I will see you again...

If there is one person..

If there is one person I could love...
it would be you...

If there was one person I would give anything for...
it would be you...

A person I would laugh for...
A person I would cry for...

A person who I would take up in my arms, and carry forever...

A person who I would carry the weight of the world for....

A person who I would sheild from the falling stars of heaven...

That person is you...

Like a gasp of breath...
A flash of light...
As if the whole universe fell from existance...

In the darkness of oblivion....

You would light my way...

For all I need is you...

Just you...

Caley...

I love you...

In the back of my mind, the never failing friend..

Do you ever have that itching int he back of your mind?

Like a lost feeling...Something you just can't reach.
You think thoughts that aren't yours, but then I guess they are.
These thoughts influence your mood, your feelings, how you act and what you say.
Wish I could be rid of them.
Perhaps it will make and intresting story one day...

You know it's been getting darker and darker lately. By five o'clock the sun has set and the sky is black. You know I walk through the buildings on my way home. Like a dark alley way, a cold breeze as the wind blows through the leafless trees. I look around and see no one. But I'm not alone. He is there when ever I need him, an old friend. Just when I have forgotten I look up and there he is.

He breaks the darkness, and parts the clouds...

The moon..

A friend who comes and goes, it's so beautiful. For so long I have felt a conncetion to the moon. I don't know why. I always have loved the moon. Perhaps one of the reasons could have been that I knew that the moon I was looking at was the same moon my best friend was also seeing. I miss my friends, and although this is how this chapter of my life must play out it still has much to be desired. Our hero must simply make it a few more pages, then the next chapter may begin.

Glorious...

Let us keep reading...

I can't wait to see what happens next...


Life; the Adventure...



ISN'T IT AWESOME!?!?



I sure thought so. Yes it's that time again. I am at residence this weekend. I am sitting here on the phone at my desk. I should be doing homework, and I will soon enough, I juts like to avoid it as much as possible. So I survived the first week, only two more until I get to go home again. *sigh* What is a boy to do?

Hmmm......*laughs* Sorry I was just looking at the guy loosing his pants again....

Ah yes the sounds, the music.

Keeping me company filling my mind with thoughts and idea's. I can't understand the words but the images fill my mind, I see a world that no one else has seen, a world I will one day create. So it's that time again, four more weeks of school. We are near the end.

Will I survive? Will I make it?

Yes I know I will, I can not fail. When ever it has come down to it, I will always prevail. I can not fall or falter from my dreams, I am a knight and I will uphold all that I beleive in. My family, my friends, my love, and hope.

What a wonderful world I live in, full of adventure everyday. I love life, no matter what comes my way, it is times like this that I realize how luck I am.

Life is the greatest adventure of all....

That is something I truly believe. For if it's not, what is the point of living at all? No matter how grey the skys, no matter how cold the wind, it is all about being alive. Are you alive? Shadow or light it doesn't matter eveerything that breaths air is lucky and although I forget sometimes, I am too.

I am the King of Hearts...




KINGDOM HEARTS: CHAIN OF MEMORIES
IS AWESOME!!!!!




Well as of last thursday Kingdom hearts Chain of Memories came out in Japan. Three hours later I downloaded it onto my hard drive and four days later I had beaten the game. Awesome isn't it? I can't even read Japanese!!! ^-^;;;

So in our story our hero, Sora is lead down the path a mysterious unknown and is brought to Castle oblivion. Here he must relive his past memories and make his way through the floors to the top of the Castle. Along the way his memories are altered by 6 people from an ogrinazation called 'The Order'. They are usuing a young girl named Namie to replace his memories for an unkown reason.

The coolest and of the six Order members we see in the game (there are 13 in total) is Marlusha. He is ranked 12 of 13 (the higher the number the stronger they are). He has an awsome weapon and in his final form rides on a huge armoured machine.

MARLUSHA

After you beat him the game restarts and now you play as Riku stating at the 12 floor in the basement of Castle oblivion. You make your way up, as the Order tries to stop him, until you reach the ground floor where you are joined by Mickey and the Crimson King known in Japanese as Dis. The game ends with only 1 out of 6 Order members still alive, Sora in a hibernation in the tip of the Castle, and Mickey and Riku join Dis as two new Order members.

Then you see the ending credits and three images of a kid we see in many Kingdom hearts 2 videos. We have never seen his face, but these images reveal that he is another Sora......

I WANT KINGDOM HEARTS 2!!!!!!!!

The world of Dreams....

I hear them now..
chanting....
calling me...
yes I feel it...

Who was I kidding?

Apparently not them.
But who are they? What is this music I hear? Why does it caputre me in it's words? Words I can not even understand? Yet somewhere I inside of me I can hear them, feel them..

Let there voice fill my soul...
Or is it just filling the void of a lost memory?

I awake from my bed and sit up. The room is much larger than I remember it. The walls are are white marble. Infact this is not my bed. It is a four poster victorian bed with red sheets and draipery. I look to my right to see three huge window, covered by the same red curtains. I throw the sheets off of me, and stand up out of the bed. I look down, and reveal that I am already dressed. I have a white shirt on, with blue pants. I am wearing black leather boots and a blue coar, trimmed with gold lining. I touch my ear to feel an earing, where one should not have been. I slowly walk towards the window to try and make some understanding about where I am. The world is not like the one I left when I closed my eyes. The only thing that is similar is the fullmoon staring down upon me...

...what place is this?
...what strange fantasy has lead me here?
...Is this my escape?

Buring the candle at both ends...

I am wearing myself...

I can feel it.
I am begining to get a cough, I am always yawning, and I am starting to developt perminant black bags under my eyes.

It seems so lonely when you know your friends are asleep and your awake. There is no one to talk too. I am jelous of them. why must my life be filled with never ending work? Mabye it's becasue I am slow and don't work fast enough.

I want a time to rest. A time to relax, not race to a deadline everyday. I want time to work on my manga. But there is no time for anything. I brough the Playstation 2 to my dorm over a month ago, and I still have yet to turn it on.

Why can't I live in a magical dream world where I can sleep all the time?

And I close my eyes...
I see a green hill with an oak tree at the top...
it leaves haslt the warm sun...
creating a shaded place to rest...
I take her hand, and lead her to the base of the tree...
I kiss her hand and let her head rest on my shoulders...
for I would carry the burden of her mind when ever she needed me too...
Her eyes close and I watch her drift asleep...
A few green leaves touch the soft grass that I sit on...
I lean my head againt hers and close my eyes,
as a soft summer breaze kiss my cheeks....
I am falling...
falling asleep...
falling into her heart...
fall in to her dreams...
Falling in love....
but the I realize it...
I have already fallen...
and my heart is hers and hers alone..
and forever I will be by herside....
now and forever...

I am the light..

"I now know without a doubt that Kingdom Hearts....
...is LIGHT!"
Yes light...I see it...I feel it now..
It is all I desire.
I am so tired of SHADOWS.
I am so tired of the darkness I post on this blog.
It just brings me further and further down.
To the point when the only thing I can do it sleep, and let my mind rest from it's conflict.
LEAVE ME ALONE DARKNESS!!!
I am yours no more..
That's right. I want the to be the Dragon Master again. Someone who seeks light, and goodness.....
You may find the hint of shadow here once in a while, but it is time I revealed that my heart is light not darkness. That I have a loving girlfriend, loving family and loving friends. What more do I need? School maybe hard, and sometimes I am presented with huge obsticles, but life is the greatest adventrue of all.
And I close my eyes...
and a thousnd life times are recalled...
and I am happy...
So for all of you out there, no more masks or shadows, it's the truth...
I am the DRAGON MASTER
THE PALADIN OF LIGHT!

The Twisted Shadow...

Oh yes I am...
One of the best ways to describe it....
I find it to be quiet funny....

Yes I live in my isolated room, day in and day out. I live through my drawings and my music...
On my floor, in residence, I am like a ghost....or perhaps a Phantom....
Yes a Phantom...
Sing for me my angel of music.....sing...

This Phantom is become more machine than man now. Behind the closed doors of my room, I sit beside the phone, the television and of coarse my computer. My window to the outside world. My gate way. But it's the world I chose. And it's the one I was meant to choose. Right?

So I live as an number online. Or if you would attach a name, Lord Dragon Master. hidden behind my avatars and images. Does anyone really know the shadow?
A shadow who twist around the truth and reality. Moving from good and evil, and always desiring the most out of both of them?

I know people read this, and for those of you who do you are privileged...
For you see here is where I hide no secrets. In the real world, or even on the phone, I have to hide. but hear I have no face, no voice. I have nothing to fear. Here I am....the truth. I think at least....

I am a master of illusions...
The real question is for those who no me...
do they know I am putting on a mask?

The mask to hide the God scared eye.

Then there is my music. Ah yes....
My organ, and my symphony...
my comforting sounds...

You see in the bliss of their voices I can imagine I am else where. In one of my fantasies. With my eyes closed under a beautiful green tree, as the calm stream moves beside me. The wind carries a warm breeze, and I smile.

Paradise........

then I am awoken by the soft touch of my angels kiss, as her lips touch my forehead. Her soft hands touch my face....

You are teasing me again, I tell my mind.
But I shall allow it. I will find it sooner or later...


That I shall swear....
