Funny The Way It Is

So I was lying in bed tonight just thinking about the events that have transpired for me over the past few days; girl troubles (which have been kicking my ass since I first noticed the sweet little pretty freckled brunette Jill in preschool, haha) as well as the troubling circumstances regarding friends and their well-being and such. But as I'm lying there, this song came on the radio. Listening to the lyrics actually brought tears to my eyes and I'm not ashamed to admit it. It's such a heartfelt and beautiful song with some of the most profound lyrics I've heard in quite sometime. Maybe it's just having this impact because I'm tired and looking for something to soothe the burning pain in my heart or clear the cobwebs out of my mind, but I figured I'd share anyways. :)


"Funny The Way It Is" by the Dave Matthews Band

Lying in the park on a beautiful day
Sunshine in the grass and the children play
Sirens pass and fire engine red
Someone’s house is burning down
On a day like this
And evening comes and were hanging out
On the front step and a car goes
By with the windows rolled down
And that war song is playing
Why can’t we be friends?
Someone is screaming and crying
In the apartment upstairs

Funny the way it is
If you think about it
Somebody’s going hungry
And someone else is eating out
Funny the way it is, not right or wrong
Somebody’s heart is broken
And it becomes your favorite song

The way your mouth feels
In a lovers kiss
Like a pretty bird on a breeze
Or water to a fish
A bomb blast brings a building
Crashing to the floor
Hear the laughter
While the children play war

Funny the way it is
If you think about it
One kid walks ten miles to school
Another’s dropping out
Funny the way it is, not right or wrong
On a soldier’s last breath
His baby is being born

Standing on a bridge
Watch the water passing under me
It must have been much harder
When there was no bridge just water
Now the world is small
Compared to how it used to be
With mountains and oceans and winters
And rivers and stars

Watch the sky
A jet plane so far out of my reach
Is there someone up there
Looking down on me?
A boy chase a bird
So close but every time
He never catch her
But he can’t stop trying

Funny the way it is
If you think about it
One kid walks ten miles to school
Another’s dropping out
Funny the way it is, not right or wrong
On a soldier’s last breath
His baby’s being born

Funny the way it is
Not right or wrong
Somebody’s broken heart
Becomes your favorite song
Funny the way it is
If you think about it
One kid walks ten miles to school
Another’s dropping out

Standing on a bridge
Watch the water passing under me
It must have been much harder
When there was no bridge just water
Now the world is small
Compared to how it used to be
With mountains and oceans and winters
And rivers and stars

Twitter, a stalker's wet dream! :D

I'm not sure why I decided to set up a Twitter account, but I will tell you this, it's addictive. For some reason I seem to feel it's necessary to update people on my whereabouts/going ons, haha. Feel free to follow me or link me to your account and I'll follow you. :)

In other news, still no progress on my "graphic novel". I've rewritten the dialogue and such about 5 times since "finalizing" it and sketched rough storyboards and character designs countless times as well... Still not completely satisfied with it. :/

I just got done watching the movie Idiocracy by the genius that is Mike Judge (Beavis and Butthead, Office Space) and I loved it. It's scary to think that the future could actually end up like that...

I also have fallen in love with Martin Scorsese's The Departed. It might be because it's loosely based on some of the hometown mobsters, but also because the cinematography is absolutely gorgeous. Apart from some of the atrocious Boston accents (which is very disappointing because some of the main actors-namely Matt Damon and Mark Wahlberg-are born-and-raised Massholes, haha) it is a great movie. The acting is superb (minus the aforementioned accents, haha) and the locations used were, for the most part, authentic Bostonian spots. :)

So if you're in the mood for a dumb humored, yet fun movie, check out Idiocracy and if you haven't seen The Departed yet, do yourself a favor and watch it. :)

Much love,
Geoff :)

Sweet Dream... "Pt. II" ;)

The product of boredom and a lack of sleep, haha.

Nerd love (wip)

So I was bored earlier and started writing a goofy love song with pop culture references, and it's still obviously a work in progress (if I even decide to finish it, haha), but I figure I'd still share:

Could I be your Magnum PI if I grow a sweet 'stache, solve all of your problems and keep you in awe
When the Evil Dead won't die, could I please be your Ash, with a fistful of boomstick and a handy chainsaw.
I'd be your #1 lineman I'd love to think, for my starting QB, my Friday Night Light,
So you'd keep them diamonds, my dear Mr. Pink, What an honor to be in that epic gunfight
You'd be my Dante, I'd be your Randal, Whatever you'd say'd be too dramatic to handle,
You'd make a great Jay, I'd be silent as a candle, even when you'd call me gay, and then call me landfill,
But I'd still just be Bob, and you could be my weave, You'd always be on the job, and I could never leave.

Nothing amazing yet (if ever, haha), just goofiness and puppy love I suppose. :)

I might even end up changing up the style a bit and go with:
Could I be your Magnum PI if I grow a sweet 'stache,
And when the Evil Dead won't die, could I please be your Ash,
Solve all of your problems and keep you in awe,
With a fistful of boomstick and my handy chainsaw.

Still a WIP, haha.
