Black Bullet


can you deal with the hallucination?
can you steal the hallucination?
i can hear and feel all that you're thinking
can you deal with the hallucination?
when i'm drowning in the sea, i am
when you're looking down at me, i am
when i'm walking in the streets, i am a bullet
when i'm looking and i find, i am
when i'm purer than the sky, i am
when i'm fucking with your mind, i am a bullet







I just discovered this band called Kidneythieves. Why I never listened to them before, I don't know. What I do know is that I am so glad that I have found them! This is one of my favorite songs by them and it has so many meanings to it. You can see it as staring at a person with all these different emotions spinning in your head like a whirlwind. Or you can see it as a person finding themselves. You can also so it as being mad but then getting pumped up and ready to take on the world. There are so many different meaning and that is why I love this song. Also, the catchy beat and the breathtaking voice of the leader singer are other amazing reasons to listen to this song. I really feel the blood coursing through my veins when I listen to this song. It makes me feel good about myself, and it makes me feel like a force of nature that shouldn't be messed with.

Song:Black Bullet, by the amazing Kidneythieves.

Dropkick Murphys

Oh, how true this statement is! ;D

Dropkick Murphys is one of my favorite Irish bands. This week I have been feeling my Irish roots more then usual. I am part Irish and proud of it and love everything Irish. I would love to travel to Europe, and would want to spend a lot of time in Ireland. Below are two songs by Dropkick Murphys that I really can't get enough of.





Also, can't forget to add some photos of my two favorite Irish lads. Murphy and Connor MacManus from The Boondock Saints!!








What I wouldn't do to have these two take me on a tour through Ireland!! ;D

Gauntlet


Do you think we're gonna make it?
I don't know unless we try
you could sit here scared to move
or we could take them by surprise
it's submission that they want
it's surrender that they need
when we're doing it their way
their aims will be achieved


Those are some song lyrics from the song Gauntlet by the band Dropkick Murphys. I love them and I think this song goes well with the movies. I found this video on youtube today that used this song with the first movie so I thought I would post it to let everyone see it and judge for themsleves. I for one love the video because it uses one of my favorite bands with one of my favorite movies. Not to mention the video is put together nicely and it looks like the person worked hard on it.



Here are some more photos of the MacManus brothers from both movies. How I love the MacManus twins and all their Irishness!! :D







I had to add the first one, It was just begging to be put up! lol

The Disquieting Muses


Mother, mother, what illbred aunt
Or what disfigured and unsightly
Cousin did you so unwisely keep
Unasked to my christening, that she
Sent these ladies in her stead
With heads like darning-eggs to nod
And nod and nod at foor and head
And at the left side of my crib?

Mother, who made to order stories
Of Mixie Blackshort the heroic bear,
Mother, whose witches always, always
Got baked into gingerbread, I wonder
Whether you saw them, whether you said
Words to rid me of those three ladies
Nodding by night around my bed,
Mouthless, eyeless, with stitched bald head.

In the hurricane, when father's twelve
Study windows bellied in
Like bubbles about to break, you fed
My brother and me cookies and Ovaltine
And helped the two of us to choir:
"Thor is angry: boom boom boom!
Thor is angry: we don't care!"
But those ladies broke the panes.

When on tiptoe the schoolgirls danced,
Blinking flashlights like fireflies
And singing the glowworm song, I could
Not lift a foot in the twinkle-dress
But, heavy-footed, stood aside
In the shadow cast by my dismal-headed
Godmothers, and you cried and cried:
And the shadow stretched, the lights went out.

Mother, you sent me to piano lessons
And praissed my arabesques and trills
Although each teacher found my touch
Oddly wooden in spite of scales
And the hours of practicing, my ears
Tone-deaf and yes, unteachable.
I learned, I learned, I learned elsewhere,
From muses unhired by you, dear mother,

I woke one day to see you, mother,
Floating above me in bluest air
On a green balloon bright with a million
Flowers and bluebirds that never were
Never, never, found anywhere.
But the little planet bobbed away
Like a soap-bubble as you called: Come here!
And I faced my traveling companions.

Day now, night now, at head, side, feet,
They stand their vigil in gowns of stone,
Faces blank as the day I was born,
Their shadows long in the setting sun
That never brigtens or goes down.
And this is the kingdom you bore me to,
Mother, mother. But no frown of mine
Will betray the company I keep.







I do not own this poem. This was the work of the brillant and talented Sylvia Plath. Who I would have to say is my favorite writer of all times. She writes so dark but her words are truly beautiful and make you think.
