What an awful poem is 'daffodils' - how can you write a poem about flowers? total waste of ink. as I see it, the only good poetry is that which is real - based on what is actually being felt by the writer, coming straight from the heart to the page. or screen, in my case. people like john donne are worse - assuming characters within poems, so that the poem becomes something that would be better suited as a play or short story.
Did I just say I was a better poet than two of the most famous english poets? maybe, but fame doesn't equal talent - look at kerry katona
Don't get me started on shakespeare...

No Line on The Horizon? No end to disappointing albums, more like
No line on the horizon? no end to disappointing albums, more like.
Get your act together, bono, edge, larry, and adam.
Let's look at the record:
Boy - one of the greatest first albums of all time
October - the album that cemented u2 as a legitimate outfit
War - the album that propelled u2 to famousity
Under a blood red sky - the album that proved u2 could do the whole massive concert thing
Unforgettable fire - showed that u2 could think outside the box
Joshua tree - a groundbreaking album, and not only for u2, but for rock as a genre
Rattle and hum - 4 boys from ireland playing music from n'orleans? fantastic
Achtung baby - passionate rock with that same "outside the box" feel of unforgettable fire
Zooropa - experimental and weird, ft. johnny cash on the last track
Pop - losing it a bit, but still as warm as anything before it
All that you can't leave behind - truly pop music, with a sound too clean to have any warmth
How to dismantle an atomic bomb - 1 or 2 great songs, yet still lacking the warm sound of achtung and joshua tree
No line on the horizon - another long title, annoying in that the music is a vehicle for bono, not an integral part at all. again so clean cut and cold as to have all the charm of a small piece of graphite
Don't agree? listen to "the fly", then listen to "breathe", or even "new york", or "love and peace or else", and then come back to me. still don't agree? meh.

P.S. this was originally going to be just the title, then it was just gonna be the title and the title repeated. I got carried away somewhat...

LAZARUS
I made a new blog, with a clear cut subject and relevancy! http://lazobeth.blogspot.com/ (it's the theology 1 btw)
Yeah my book failed...
:(
But now we've reformed the band! this time it can't fail!
My laptop died again this morning, but I fixed it, somehow. technology sucks, eh? I mean, data's control panel never crashes! I want technology to be like that, except with better graphics - I mean, 24th century and a 2d screen? get realistic, mr. Roddenberry jr., come on.

P.S. the word 'hunni' should be banned
P.P.S. what a crap post...

Revamp
I think a revamp is needed. I may convert this into a theology/religion blog and change the name to lazarus. I may do a blog of reviewing something. clear cut subject? maybe.

Yet another...
I seem to fail at schemes and projects too much: my first book failed. my second book failed. my band failed. my round-world trip: failed. my Liberty Squad! comic book/book/graphic novel/webcomic/movie/comedy central animated\live action t.v. show/[adult swim] section failed. even my first blog failed. this puts me on shaky ground with...
My new book! it's fantasy, and a silmarillion/lotr/magician's nephew/bible kinda jazz. it's called 'Stories from Sen', and it's epic. like all kinds of good. or at least I think so. I've written the first 2 chapters of the first story, and its tired me out.
Is my blog too much based on that of Tobiwan? if so, non-existent reader of these tales, please let me know.
Thankee muchly.

A SamfiSh
P.S. if there are any readers: so not cool! leave a damned comment once in a while!
P.P.S I linked to another blog! hopefully I get at least one reader as a result

Crabs
are very wierd. like spiders what have armour and live under the sea and can breath in the water and walk all sidewards.
From crabs to
Mud. Which is what I have all on my trousers, on account of me doing the commando crawl on north field. CTF!
Mud is a colloquial term for coffee. coffee is drunk by silly american folks and intelligent french folks instead of tea. tea is what I had a very nice cup of this week. I think it had cream or full fat-milk in so it was very tasty.
Also when I was where I was when I was a-drinking of the very nice tea (dolly's diner on station road, longfield) I had my over the shoulder bag, fingerless (g)loves, long studenty hair, a book with lenin on the cover and a petrol can. I may be paranoid, but I was getting some funny looks and some people may have thought I was some sort of communist rebel, out to arson some stuffs. like communist rebels do? it's a fairly traditional diner: a bloke and a lady equivalentofabloke; tea; coffee; full english all day breffist; white van men etc., but it seems to be run by near eastern folks. not that I'm saying there's 'out wrong with near eastern folk. it does seem a bit odd though.
Liberty Squad is gonna be awxsome...
Sleepy eyes now. gonna go a-bed.

P.S. are all my signouts the same? please let me know if they're not...
P.P.S. obviously that does not apply to the pre from days. they's was crazy days... lazy maze... summer haze... fiery blaze...
