Greetings from Penelope

I apologize for the long absence, but I've been on a soul searching journey since I turned 24 last month...
Anyways, I wanted to share the latest project I'm currently working on. Hopefully this one will have a more positive outcome than the last ones I've talked about...

So I was cleaning out one of my email accounts this morning and while sifting through junk mail I came something awesome. I'd noticed most of the ones with vulgar subject lineage had lines of broken English in the text. they seemed to be written in verse, almost like mini poems. So I jotted down all of them and decided to have some fun.
I pieced them together and ad-lib'd a bit and came up with some pretty crazy lyrics. It's scary how easily they fit together and how well they meshed into one abstract yet coherent topic.
The pic I included is just a few of the emails I've written down.
But yeah, I've received three new junk messages since and am probably the only guy in the world who is excited to get more, haha. I'm thinking of titling each song based on a mixture of the subject line of the emails contained. And if this works out, I'm thinking of turning it into an EP with a few songs based on these emails, most likely titled "Greetings from Penelope". We'll see what the future holds. :]

Sincerely,
The Dreamer,
Geoff Boyardee

MeYoww.

I want me a punk girl who's not afraid to be herself, with her bright pink hair curled up, she knows every album on my shelf. Flipping back her hair, snapping on her gum, giving you the finger while sticking out her thumb.

Abercrombie models probably have feelings too...

If you wanted to witness a meltdown, my dear, you should've tried introducing some of the fiery passion you faked with your ice cold heart. Oh, what a selfless, victimless act that would've been.

New phone, more photos to be posted?

When I make a midnight snack, I keep it real.

Where Have You Been? Right By Your Side.

I'm not sure when I'll die, but I do know that heartbreaking sports losses or girls will be the cause of it... Possibly a combination of both.
The Pats, Bruins, Celtics, and now Holland have all met devastating finishes to their seasons resulting in my spirit being crushed, even though they went farther than anyone expected. I'm a die-hard fan, I'll leave it at that.
I suppose it's the same way with relationships. I give them my all in hopes that it'll result in a fulfilling and long-lasting partnership filled with joy and smiles.
So far I'm batting .000 and it's looking like my days in the relationship game are numbered. I'm nearing my mid-twenties and have nothing to show but dozens of notebooks filled with silly poems/sketches/songs/journal entires/bitch sessions, and a scarred heart.
I'm very fortunate to have a loving and supportive family and group of friends, a clean bill of health, and an overactive imagination. I take time everyday to hug my family and friends, keep my body and mind in shape, and use my fingers to write everything my lonely little brain channels through them. I'm extremely grateful for what I have and I constantly am telling myself that there are billions of people worse off than I am. I would love to move up and on with my life. Get myself a nice little place in the city where I can settle down and use everything around me to soak my currently dry and stale mind to replenish it and make something worthwhile.
The lack of updates and entries are due to my journal being reduced to one liners, unfinished poems, and broken thoughts. I apologize for being so strung out on heartbreak and what's left of the teenage angst that I've used to fuel my pen. I've still yet to get the hang of this life deal... It's in a work in progress.
I',m contemplating posting some of the one liners in case there's at least one lonely, broken soul out there like mine who finds comfort in them.

I must now retire to my living quarters in search of sleep in a bed where none has been found recently. I'm worried that it might be devoid of any slumber. Is it possible to run out of sleep? Obviously I've been awake for too long asking a question like that...

But yes, now off to pass out with my ass out,
Hugs & Kisses to the Misters & the Misses,
Geoffy

The Lullaby I Would've Sung To You

My Mind Doesn't Belong To You Which Is Why It Seems Wrong To You

My mind doesn't belong to you which is why it seems wrong to you.
What I did was right for me, what you did was lie to me then hide from me while trying to be brave. But as far as I can see you're nothing but a lying thief with false ideas and selfish ideals that you stole from me and made your own, now you're alone. A queen with an empty throne longing for a king not to sit next to her, but have sex with her, 'cause deep down in her darkened core she's nothing but an empty whore, searching for a cure to fill the void she tortured then left me for.

All's Hell But Ends Well

I've hit rock bottom, now my back's against the wall
with a fully loaded thought-gun and a clear view of it all.
I don't wanna be invincible, just rid me of my pain
Get drunk and stoned and martyred all while dancing in the rain
I'm so afraid to pull the trigger, though I know it'll set me free
from this dark cloud growing bigger and its shadow engulfing me.
I don't wanna be invincible, just rid me of my pain
Get drunk and stoned and martyred all while dancing in the rain
Yearning for the hot sun, my back's against the wall
with a fully loaded thought-gun ready to fix this all.
There's just so many hearts I wish I'd touched, but had no guts to face,
'cause I hate myself so much that all my love just goes to waste.
I don't wanna be invincible, just rid me of my pain
Get drunk and stoned and martyred all while dancing in the rain
Laughing at the clouds, sticking out my tongue,
hoping I won't drown before my hero sun has come.

It's difficult to count past one when you're a zero.

sleep rescues me
dreams set me free
nightmares comfort me
morning breaks me
my body hates me
my mind is killing me
and no one seems to see
no one seems to believe
all that's left of me
is who I am when I'm asleep
a lifeless body who breathes
and lives only when he dreams
sleep, rescue me?
dreams, set me free?
although that he is me
his body still hates me
his mind won't disagree
and still sleep rescues me
even though dreams set me free
nightmares are my reality
as comforting as they can be
nightmares will consume me
until all that's left of he
is a lifeless body that breathes
and lives only in its dreams
sleep, come rescue me
xxx

I don't even mind being lied to anymore, at least someone's talking to me.

Although the only one around anymore is when I'm alone,
'cuz it's so hard to count to one when you're a zero.

Catching On Trailer

Oh hey, I didn't see you there! Well while I have your attention, remember that independent film my buddies made? You know, the won that won Best Short at the Nevada Film Festival? Yeah, the one I always plug and sing the praises of? Well here's the long-awaited trailer for it. :)

It even has a quick shot of myself in it at the 15 second mark... I'm in the blue shirt just left of center. ;)

Catching On: The Day the World Turned Gay - Trailer from Catching On on Vimeo.

Enjoy. :)

And remember, only you can prevent forest fires!

So this is the new year?

My apologies for not being around much, I've been struggling with a few things lately. But yes, it's 2010 now and hopefully it holds as much promise as 2009 seemed to. :P

I don't have much to really write here, I've mainly just been writing novel-length daily journal entries about nothing. But I figure I'll at least acknowledge the new year, and my decent beginning to it...

Yesterday morning I went up to the store to spend two gift cards I'd received, one for $30, the other for $10. I picked up a few movies and my total was $51.98, so I handed the cashier the $30 card and she scanned it and axed it, then I handed her the $10 one and she scanned it, and then handed it and my reciept to me saying that I have $18.02 left on it... To which I sputtered out in disbelief a thank you and have a nice day... So yes, I'm hoping all of 2010 works out this nicely! :)

I'll close with a few random recommendations and such that I've been into lately:

Music:
.moneen.
Moving Mountains
A Sound Mind
30 Seconds to Mars

And then of course:

:D

Movies:
Chasing Amy - Yes, I bought Kevin Smith's ace rom-com again, but on Blu-ray and it still pulls my heart strings
District 9 - A brilliant movie, beautiful cinematography, amazing acting and a great story
Iron Man - Come on, It's awesome, especially on Blu-ray
Inglourious Basterds - Quentin Tarantino's newest masterpiece. Perfect casting, perfect performances and overall great movie
Donnie Darko - a fucked up movie, but sooooooo good!
The Hangover - A gift from the Greek God of humor, yes, Hystericules himself. Ok, not really, but it's a blast.
Road House - The late, great Patrick Swayze as a yoga-doing, country livin', super bad-ass... So basically himself, IF he was a bouncer/cooler at a bar... He rips a dude's throat out for crying out loud!
And finally:
(500) Days of Summer - Great romantic comedy, hit pretty close to home with me, but still a wonderful film. It also helps that I have a little crush on Zooey Deschanel, who is married to the vocalist/writer of Death Cab For Cutie who does the opening video in this post, Ben Gibbard. They really are a super adorable couple. :)

Eat, drink, and be merry my friends,
Geoff!
:]

Sgt. Donny Donowitz ftw!
