[25 Dec 2003|12:10am] [ mood | cheerful ] [ music | Trans Siberian Orchestra ] An Angel Came Down -Trans Siberian Orchestra An angel came down, one night to the Earth A mision from God, to find out the worth Of everything that His children had done Since that winter night, the birth of His son And then a sound filled the night In the cold winter air And in the midst of his flight, It holding him there And as he looked towards the Earth For the source of the sound On that cold winter night It was pulling him down To bring something back, this angel was told That no one could touch, but angels could hold So on that night when the sky had cleared Among all the stars, an angel appeared And then a sound filled the night In the cold winter air And in the midst of his flight, It was holding him there And as he looked towards the Earth For the source of the sound On that cold winter night It was pulling him down Old City Bar -Trans Siberian Orchestra In an old city bar That's never too far From the places that gather The dreams that have been In the safety of night With it's old neon light It beckons to strangers And they always come in And the snow it was falling The neon was calling The music was low And the night, Christmas Eve And here was the danger Even with strangers Inside of this night, It's easier to believe Then the door opened wide And a child came inside That no one in the bar Had seen there before And he asked did we know That outside in the snow That someone was lost Standing outside our door Then the bartender gazed Through the smoke and the haze Through the window and ice To the corner street light Where standing alone By a broken pay phone Was a girl the child said Could no longer get home And the snow it was falling The neon was calling The bartender turned And said "Not that I care But how would you know this?" The child said "I've noticed If one could be home, They'd be already there" Then the bartender came out From behind the bar And in all of his life He was never that far And he did somethng else That he thought no one saw When he took all the cash From the register draw Then he followed the child To the girl across the street And we watched from the bar As they started to speak Then he called for a cab Then he said "JFK" Put the girl in the cab Then the cab drove away And we saw in his hand That the cash was all gone From the light that she had wished upon If you want to arrange it This world, you can change it If we could somehow Make this Christmas thing last By helping a neighbor Or even a stranger To know who needs help, You need only just ask Then he looked for the child But the child wasn't there Just the wind and the snow Waltzing dreams through the air So he walked back inside Somehow different I think For the rest of the night No one paid for a drink And the cynics will say That some neighborhood kid Wandered in on some bums In the world where they hid But they weren't there So they couldn't see By an old neon star On the night Christmas Eve When the snow it was falling The neon was calling In case you should wonder, In case you should care Why we on our own Never went home On that night of all nights, We were already there ... HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYBODY!!! Those are my two favorite Christmas songs...Trans Siberian Orchestra rocks all amazing ness... so yeah, everyone have a safe, happy, fun-filled holiday, and Ill start the Dave Craig Opera soon. Peace! QOTD :"Merry Christmas!!" - Me, goddammit! post comment

Valentine's Day By Mike Stringer Tears of blood are streaming from my broken heart The broken heart that's felt the pain of a thousand valentines And the sunny day that's promised to all those who wait Seems so far away... The feeling, inconcievable The heartbreak, unbelivable The bursting of everything I've kept inside *So here's your valentine!* The lonliness that gets to me The darkness that has consumed me The patience that's not patient anymore *Call my name* *Drop me a line* *Anything to remind me* *That I am still alive!...* My world is torn apart By a gently touch of pain What can i do but wait for you to come around? *Fallen to the ground* The letter lies flustered by a million years of age But the address is so familiar to us all The worst thing for a man to see is his own heartbeat stilled By the one thing that had kept it alive he feeling, inconcievable The heartbreak, unbelivable The bursting of everything I've kept inside *So here's your valentine!* The lonliness that gets to me The darkness that has consumed me The patience that's not patient anymore *Call my name* *Drop me a line* *Anything to remind me* *That I am still alive!...* My world is torn apart By a gently touch of pain What can i do but wait for you to come around? *Fallen to the ground* he lonliness that gets to me The darkness that has consumed me The patience that's not patient anymore *Call my name* *Drop me a line* *Anything to remind me* *That I am still alive!...* aww....thats a sad one...bummer. Anywayz...someone please leave a comment on this...if at least 3 people do...ill write a happy song for next time! deal? good. 3 comments|post comment

[03 Dec 2003|07:19pm] [ mood | sad ] [ music | "Cross Out the Eyes" Thursday ] Hey Guys! How's it going? I dont have too much to say...not too much has been going on except.... I'm in a band! w00t! Anyone who wants to visit out website: www.geocities.com/thelastactnj Expect us to play at the Cabaret....uh...yeah... Unfortunatly for those who read this, I have writers block and have been sadly unable to write any new songs. And therefore, I shall shamelessly borrow a Thursday song and put it in my journal, because these lyrics rock. "Cross Out The Eyes" By Thursday Let's call this the quiet city: Where screams are felt as a wave of stoplights Drive through the the streets as gunshots punctuate the night The sides we take divide us from our faith And the mourning dove gets caught in the telephone wire Asleep you set the fire in your own house And the night was a knife that cut And I'm paralyzed Cross out the eyes Blur all the lines Tearing this canvas from the wall We crossed out the eyes Put lines through these cries We pulled all the leaves from the trees that fall A silent dance that we did into this hospital bed Hear voices from another room "It happens all the time" But July in the sand Then the leaves that fall And counting down our days to live.... Drain the blood from this valentine. "We can rise on the wings of the dove See blue skies getting caught in the trail of all this smoke We can rise like candles in the dark your always" and an envelope marked with your new address It was the first time face to face I'm crossing the line Talking to the other side of death Hearing the words that choke memories into flatlines I'm calling your name hoping for something to wash these dreams of you away Our fence was blown down in a winter storm and this field stretched out of this world into the sound of a trace of blood in a love song What can we do to put a stop to the coming white days? I'm hoping the snow will push these dreams of you away What can I say? I'm on an emo kick. I like Thrusday's musica a lot. its good shizzle. Anywho...I honestly cant think of anything else to write. kristEn -- It's STILL in my pocket. Imagine that. QOTD: "And counting down our days to live.... Drain the blood from this valentine.

[25 Nov 2003|03:46pm] [ mood | depressed ] [ music | Silence ] I've been writing again... No Tears Fall By Mike Stringer There must be a reason The seasons, are changing Like autumn to winter I'm dying without her Sometimes you can't help but love What you never had But there's no use in crying Although I know ive never been so sad {chorus} And you know it's bad when No tears fall When you sit eyes wide and Nothing even matters at all When you've read the message over and over again **** it all Beside myself within my thoughts And wondering why the tears won't fall {/chorus} I have never felt such sorrow Solumn song of silence still Tumbling to the ground I'm the leaf you never found Like a sad song, I'm overplayed Like a record, I'm wearing away Like a young man... Oh, oh, oohh Voices are surrounding me Everyone comforts me You are the antidote to what ails me Oh, oh, oohh Under this mask i'm just a boy {chorus} There is no survival for What couldn't live There is no revival For the soul who dared to dream And if you read this Don't you dare be sad The tears fall freely knowing The dreams of you were the best I ever had... {chorus} That's all i have to say for today Theres another hidden message. Find it is you want. QOTD: "Girls are such drag." -Blink 182 3 comments|post comment

[24 Nov 2003|05:31pm] [ mood | poetic ] [ music | "Hands Down" - Dashboard Confessional ] Hey Everybody, How's it trippin? Well, the show is over, and reality is kinda setting in that this could be the last time i share a stage with people like Evan, Holly, Chris, Andrew, and Dave. It sucks knowing that. At least I can crew Cabaret, but still....*sigh* Anyway, Saturday's shows and festivities were pretty cool. The matinee only had about 60 people, but the night show had about 150 and went flawlessly. Afterwards we all went to the cast party at Holly's. There was music, food, dancing for the dancers, and MOW. Anyone who has never played MOW is missing out on a crazy time. Oh yeah, there was Mario Kart compliments of Dave. Senior awards were great. I got the "Fruit Bowl" award. (Anyone who saw the Friday show knows what this is about) and I stole the "Mad Libs" award. (Anyone in the cast knows what this is about) Holla to mis ACT 1 SCENE 1 homies!! lol. We kick ass. Anyway. I was writing about "her" again, and i'm sure you want to read it. So here ya go. Two of Hearts By Mike Stringer Please hold my hand Our time is running low Let's hurry up So we can take it slow The night is young And so are we Two hearts together You and me All else doesn't matter It's just us tonight We'll talk for hours Under the starlight {chorus} Innocence Frozen in time Two hearts beat together Two hearts beat forever Harmony The night waits for us Two hearts beat as one Two hearts beat while hand in hand we dance {/Chorus} Sunday psalms and songs Hymns and Hearths And the warmth of our hearts Night and day No debts to pay Oh, we're only children Never shown the errors of the world {Chorus} Now as we embrace I can sheild you from fate You can fall asleep Deep within my arms Now the night is full Song is almost done Two hearts together To be waked by the sun Nothing else has mattered It was just us last night Oh, how we talked for hours Beneath the starlight {Chorus} Thats probably my favorite of the stuff i've written so far. Its very true. Now for you die hard Mike fans out there, theres a little something special hidden within that song? Can you figure it out? IM me if you do. lol. Well, thats about it. I'm out.

[22 Nov 2003|10:25am] Good Morning Everyone, Well, today marks the final two shows of A Midsummer Night's Dream, so if you read this before then, good god,,, GO SEE IT! Honestly, the show is funny as hell, ask anyone who's been to it. In the words of one happy audience member (who was forced to go by yours truly) said "Wow, I'm really glad i came." So what better evidence do you need? More? OK...Cat fights and guys in tights. There, i said it. You can feel your brain turming to mush as you read. You WILL come see A Midsummer Night's Dream. You mind is now being assimilated, please hold.... ... ... Ok, I think i'n done shamelessly advertising now. This show has gone by so fast...I'm just realizing now that this may be the last time I share a stage with people like Dave and Baker and Hanson. Wow. :-( Well, it kinda sucks cuz everyone figured out who "she" was, that wasn't supposed to happen, but oh well. My mommy is being mean and isnt gonna let me stay through between shows. So, cast, i'm afraid you'll have to be Mike-less for a little while. I'm sure you'll manage. On top of all this, our hot water is busted, so i'm off to take an unpleasantly cold shower...ewww...cold showers suck.... Anyway, to the cast and crew of AMSND: Bust Limbs, Kids!

[18 Nov 2003|10:10pm] [ mood | indescribable ] [ music | Something by Thursday, i dunno what it's called. ] well, I haven't updated in a while, as you noticed. This is largly due to my computer being retarded. But after I installed some ritalin it was good to go. I dont really know what to write about. To much has been going on. Im kinda ina whirlwind thing right now. It's not a bad thing necessarily. Im actually probably the happiest ive been in a while. Drama is awesome just because "she" is there. And if you think i'm gonna tell you who "she" is, start guessing buddy, cuz i ain't tellin. Yeah, it's one of those weird, I like her she likes someone else shindigs, but for once it doesnt really bother me. I don't know how this is gonna end up, but...well...i've said enough. I'm probably going to fail Math and Spanish, cause those are the periods that i write songs about "her" in. Yeah, I can hear you begging to read one right now. Fine, here we go. A Simple Love Song By Mike Stringer The day is done The story told The moment lost The silence sold And as this paper Bleached in pain Accepts my poem My will is slain Cuz I know that somewhere Where Angels dance and sing The sun stroked her face Isn't love a beautiful thing? {Chorus} Oh, But do i love her? With so much at stake? I know I love her I'm headed for heartbreak (oh woah woah woah) So many lies that ive told myself and so many stories i've sold myself If there's one thing that I do before I die I'm gonna make her mine (Sha na na, sha na na, sha na na na na na na oh) The torture, confusion The silcence, illusion The faults and the facts and the well-scripted acts And the reason to wonder If i should even try Or maybe I should roll over and die {Bass Solo} Cuz I know there's someone Who'll make it alright I know she's perfect Love is such a beautiful thing {chorus} Love is such a beautiful thing... Dedicated to "her". From the heart. I think i do love her.... Blink 182's new album was released today. Go buy it. Midsummer Night's Dream is this Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. Go or die. I will know, and i will hunt you down. Cheers, Mike post comment

[27 Oct 2003|10:32pm] [ mood | relieved ] [ music | "Sic Transit Gloria- Glory Fades" --Brand New ] ?Estoy correcto defender el pu?o que sostiene esta pluma? Es la tinta que miente, la pluma, la p?gina, el papel. Vivo, yo aprendo. Usted tomar? siempre lo que he ganado. Y ayude tan a mi extremo mientras que creo que estoy ganando. Nuestros amigos hablan hacia fuera en nuestra defensa. Pago diez o?dos sordos por dos meses de alquiler. Nos quemamos los horca que erigen, y cortamos los nooses atan para nuestros cuellos..... have fun with that one kids... Today, was a good day, i feel like a burden has been lifted from my shoulders... i feel free... and relieved. Thanks to Kristin Greene and Sam Hynes for helping me through tricky times.

[26 Oct 2003|08:39pm] [ mood | frustrated ] [ music | Stairway to Heaven - Led Zeppelin ] Howdy Kids... Sorry bout the late entry. I mean, it's not like anyone reads this thing, but when i'm old and senial i'm gonna wanna know why the hell I didn't update this weekend. Well, since i last updated, not too much happened. My computer got a virus. Good thing i know sumthin bout computers and was able to fix the damn thing. ComputerHelp.com (or something) told me to wipe my hard drive. Morons. Anyway, this weekend I was hardcore and camped outside in the 29 degree weather (yep, thats accurate) Nothing fun happened. I played ultimate frisbee all weekend and listened in Grateful Dead on dad's radio. I must be a hippie. And so I got home and attempted to learn Stairway to Heaven on guitar. That was amusing. I took quizzes and will now post them if i can figure out how to... Power Rangers Movie! What movie Do you Belong in?(many different outcomes!) brought to you by Quizilla Nice.... "99 Red Balloons" (by Nena) 99 Decision Street. 99 ministers meet. To worry, worry, super-scurry. Call the troops out in a hurry. This is what we've waited for. This is it boys, this is war.

[22 Oct 2003|09:58pm] [ mood | satisfied ] [ music | "I'm Feeling This" (In my head) - Blink 182 ] You know... have something ever happened that made you passionate about something? Well, i happened to me at 9:19pm today. Listening to the radio, station 106.3, i heard something that made me very happy. A new track off Blink 182's new self titled album due out November 18. For those of you who don't know me that well... I owe a lot to Blink 182... they are probably my favorite band because they really got me into rock back in '95 with Carousel off Cheshire Cat. Largely for this reason, I am dedicating this entry to them. One thing that pisses me off is people who say "Blink sucks ass! They aren't punk! They are like sooooo pop! Its because of them that punk is dying..." You know wut? Fuck that. Blink writes about what they feel. And they arent afraid to. If thats not punk... what is? And even if they arent. They rock. So go die. Anyway, the new single off Blink's album is called I'm Feeling This...and here are the lyrics. Thanks Blink 182... (Get ready for action!) I got to regret right now (I?m feeling this) The air is so cold and null (I?m feeling this) Let me go in her room (I?m feeling this) I love all the things you do (I?m feeling this) Show me the way to bed (I?m feeling this) Show me the way you move (I?m feeling this) Oh it is such a blur (I?m feeling this) I love all the things you do (I?m feeling this) [Chorus:] Fate fell short this time Your smile fades in the summer Place your hand in mine I?ll leave when I wanna Where do we go from here Turn all the lights down now Smiling from ear to ear (I?m feeling this) Our breathing has got too loud (I?m feeling this) Show me the bedroom floor (I?m feeling this) Show me the bathroom mirror (I?m feeling this) We?re taking this way too slow (I?m feeling this) Take me away from here (I?m feeling this) [Chorus x2] This place was never the same again After you came and went How can you say you meant anything different To anyone standing alone On the street with a cigarette On the first night we met Look to the past And remember her smile And maybe tonight I can breathe for awhile I'm not in the seat I think I'm fallin' asleep But then all that it means is I'll always be dreaming of you [Chorus x5] [During Last Choruses In The Background:] I'll be alone if you're feeling So lost and disillusioned Quote of the Day "Fate fell short this time, you're smile fades in the summer." "If we're fucked up you're to blame" "Talk to you every now and then, never felt so alone again, stopped to think at a wishing well, thoughts send me on a corousel." post comment

[21 Oct 2003|08:51pm] [ mood | bored ] [ music | "The World Has Turned and Left Me Here" - Weezer ] Heeyyy Everybody... How's it trippin? Today was a really boring day, like many of mine. The only really exciting things today were...well...Bryan's accomplishment...Way to go BS... and umm... nothing really. I didn't have drama, so I walked home with John and Dan and we argued about stuff. Once I got home I neglected to do my homework and promptly plugged in my guitar. Tuning out the world I quickly lost track of time,and decided to stop playing and to my damn math homework. Purple Haze was giving me hell anyway. Oh guess what! I can play the peanuts theme now, you know, Charlie Brown? Cool shit. Oh yeah... I wanna make a band so if anyone knows a bassist tell me. Enough about that... but i have nothing else to write. Goddammit. Well...yeah. This whole Journal thing is hard. I think i'll go now...l8er... Quote of the Day: "Fade to Black..." post comment

[20 Oct 2003|08:27pm] [ mood | amused ] [ music | "Hey Joe" - Jimi Hendrix ] Hey everyone...here's Mikey! Just to give anyone who reads this thing a fair warning... I'm not the best journal keeper. I have this thing for the simple reason of... yeah, you know it, i'm bored. So I guess I'm supposed to talk about my day. Well, I got up, and went to school. I sat in Gibbs' homeroom and watched one of Andrew Baker's movies on one of Gibbs' three tvs. Aight.. In history... we watched people scalp each other in the Last of the Mohicans... and had a notebook check. Yay. In english we had an assembly. Me n Jim Russel presented our story and got extra credit..woo hoo... God damn it... I have no idea how to write a journal. Oh well... I'll try.... Uh.... blah blah school...blah...math quiz...yadda yadda.... OK drama. Yeah, I had drama today. I didn't know my lines. Kristin Greene "listed" me. *shakes iron fist of fury at Kristin". And we locked Mike Yodice in the bathroom. Yay. Aight...thats all for now... i'll get the hang of this yet...i swear....
