i will hold the candle til it burns up my arm

oh i'll keep taking punches until their will grows tired.......i will stare the sun down until my eyes go blind i won't change direction and i won't change my mind.....pearl jams indifference. its a sweet jam from versus or 5 against 1 for the true fans who know that pre-release title. the song can be interpreted many ways. the one thing that is certain is that its about a person wanting to bring sanity into a world that has gone mad. eddie and those guys did allot of weird political stuff, but its like rage, kinda. its asking people to "stop bitching and start a revolution". i guess it was political, maybe not. it could be about him staying up on dope or something and burning the candle waiting for his girl to come back...i guess thats why music is so cool, the listener hears what they need to hear. i like allot of pj and have been listening to radiohead when i write. i used to hate radiohead, cause my ex liked them. then we went to a show at the woodlands and the opening band came out late and i turned to her and said,"man this opening band is pretty good", it was radiohead. oops.... the opening act was a no-show and they came out and rocked the house. i was telling someone earlier a herbert spencer quote that applies to lots of things we all do every single day. here it is, "There is a principle which is a bar against all information, which is proof against all arguments and which cannot fail to keep a man in everlasting ignorance - that principle is contempt prior to investigation." ....................i cant get this font to change back!!!! sorry nick, i know this is pissing you off right now, trust me, i am pissed too. anyways, contempt prior to investigation. yeah, that kept me loaded for a few extra years. i was too afraid to take a risk and see what sobriety was all about. it applies in many areas of life though. the radiohead thing is a prime example. had i been willing to 'investigate' i'd see that i liked their music. i guess as human beings sometimes its more important to be right than anything else. hell, i would rather not know that i was wrong about something i guess so i could feel as though my "shit together quotient' was a few clicks above the rest of the peeps i talk to. anyhow, i really didn't have anything on my mind. i have been so incredibly busy since the holidays that i haven't been able to write too much. oh, and also, my stupid neighbor that i steal wireless from, get this, turns off the router at night and when she leaves. honestly i'm not sure she's a she but you know, who turns off a router, please.....love you all, especially you chase. welcome to myspace you candy ass. i also got a 6'6 cardboard cutout of the rock in my living room, so i will post some pics with him as soon as i get the photographer he wants to come over and do the portfolio. whatever, holla atcha.
