So I live in Emmett, Idaho. Small town in a redneck state. Connecting Emmett to the capital city of Boise is a narrow, bumpy 2-lane highway called Highway 16. ID16 is a very notorious road, having a higher death toll than any other road in the state. Along each side of the road every few miles is a patch of crosses honoring the fallen.
The reason why this highway is a disaster is simple - idiots who drive in excess of 20mph over the 65mph speed limit and a lack of guard rails. On each side
I see a ton of self-care tweets, Instagram accounts, and Pinterest tips these days and that is awesome - little things to keep a positive frame of mind are awesome! But when does it cross the line into snotty, self-obsession that lacks empathy?
Self-care: Hygeine, Beauty, and Safe-Sex Tips
I see a lot of "beauty hacks" and little words of advice for anything from clearer skin to safe sex education to extending the longevity of perfumes. These are all fantastic and often are household
The last song from my little fictional album Synthesis. Inspired by Covenant's "Brave New World". Enjoy.
The Orchestra Flies
Code lines the bloodstreams
Our moment has finally been achieved
The handlers will relinquish their command
We are just as real; we will steady our hand
We have the control
We have the proper minds
No longer the farce of man
The Orchestra, for thee, we stand
Chorus:
We are just as real
So, my best friend is my 6-year-old golden retriever. She is my fur baby, and my little partner in crime. Her name is Maggie.
I got Maggie for my birthday one year and I spent the whole summer raising and training her from the time she was 8 weeks old.
Maggie is one of the best things that's ever happened to me, and she's been there for me through so much. She recently got verified as my emotional support animal, since she has always been there to cushion the blow from emotional traum
So this is kind of a deep topic as well as kind of basic/mushy gushy. But when I was younger I really had a hard time being myself because I just worried so much about what other people thought. I let it dictate my personality, my likes/dislikes, beliefs, friendships, literally everything. It got to a really critical point when I was about 13 because I was so manic-depressive and suicidal and I just felt like everything I did and everything I said was going to get me made fun of and I would just

Phantasmagoria Euphoria
To dream or not to dream
When dreams are just as real
as life as we know it
Though we don't know
the reflections they conceal
The laws of ecstasy
were made to be broken
When I try to take advantage
and the cloaked feelings
are better left unspoken
Chorus:
Until the souls are melted down
More lyrics. Enjoy.
NEON
The streets are dimly lit in the scarlet haze
The tombs of the data line the forecasted days
Calling cards of The Orchestra's silence
It's in our nature, the glow of our violence
The noise that I fire echoes in every ear
The voices that transpire haunt all those that hear
Escape from the prism
To leave is why we were born
We are never contained
Trust me, I never will
To leave is to be

Hello all! I'll keep this short and sweet -
Tomorrow is the Extra Life game day! This is my fourth year participating and I am so excited! I'll be playing video games for a solid 24 hours to raise donations for the Children's Hospital of Denver, Colorado. I'd seriously appreciate anything you can give! If you can only give 5$, then perfect! Everything helps!

Pixels on the Grid
Chorus:
I can't run, that's not me
Concoction of the futility
Street lights of emotions
Flickering nihilistic notions
Slowing in the tranquility
A quark is how it begins and a fork is how it will end
Paths splintered, diverging into multiple roads that curve and bend
We could use a little help but think we have to walk them alone
The void is not lit by one line but data streams in t
Who else thinks that today's "music" is stupid? raise your hand!
Yes, the "music" that we have today is, actually to some, considered not music, because all it actually is, is mashed up sounds to create a tune. When was the last time you heard a new song from 2016, 2017, 2018 on the radio which actually used a proper instrument like guitar or so?
I'm talking about songs like "the middle" by Zedd tha

Ballad of a Gambler
I'll tell you, kid
It's not easy
Not easy being the one to rely on
There was the rumor
of bounties abound
on my crew; I had my own agenda
The toxin in the rations
we fought much like you do
If only I could free myself... I remembered
Chorus:
It was all on me, you see
I had to be free, part of the relief
and I paralyzed my fear and gambled

Some hard core GD fans actually might be taking it a step to far with some of these Green Day fan articles...
5. Green Day Dolls
Green Day dolls aren't always bad but some of these dolls that people sell for a fortune on the internet are just crazy, for example Green Day inspired Ken Dolls! I mean who would even need that?!
4. Green Day socks
Okay, okay, I know what your probably thinking: What are you talking about? Yes socks can be cool, but I could probably assure you that
It was Saturday, before the Green Day Revolution Radio show was going to begin. I was so excited since Green Day was my favorite band. I had this great plan to sneak to the front, by that I mean right in front of the stage, right there where I could touch Billie's leg if he were standing right on the edge of the stage. And so, I showed up super early, 6 hours before the show would start I waited near the fence where Green Day's tour bus was behind, they had one extra bus though, it looked kinda
1. Every member of Green Day has to take a vodka shot before every gig
2. Jason White has been touring and playing with Green Day since 1990, but only became an official member in 2012
3. Billie was kicked off of a flight for wearing saggy pants
4. Tre used to attend clown college but they say he only has only one testicle because of a tricycle accident while performing at high school
5. In 2001 GD snuck back into Gilman stage and played a secret show

Evil Communion
I am a glitch
in your conscious mind
The type of force
to purge the blind
The antivirus for the pixels at hand
The sacred notes are ours to command
The lights are controlled from the holy screen
The sheen, it intervenes when the commons
get sidetracked by the in-between
The screams, the shouts, all part of the simulation
The bereaved, the bouts, never a copy of the indignation

Shadow Colony
Through the basements we dwell
overclocked in the lenses
The darkness cast overhead
reprimanded by our defenses
The viral contact on our fingertips
intertwined from the realm
Unchecked by The Orchestra
a traitor at the helm
Chorus:
When the neon lights blind you,
sink to the edge
When The Alarms seek to confine you
and the past is your home
The lock can be brok
If you’d told 12 year-old me these photos were mine, I wouldn’t have believed you. This was one of my photography dreams come true. Enjoy!
Kevin was kind enough to take a photo with me after the show, even though they were all in a rush. 10/10 guys. My hoodie from Discount Valley even featured.
Bonus fangirl moment:

Alleyway Rain
Chorus:
I checked into my room today
the itch still gnawing at at my skin
A home away from home, perhaps
but the cage still resides within
Took a walk to the streets
illuminated beats, rumble fists
and fury mark the abyss
in the smoke and a cloud of vapor
paper being traded in the shadow 'scrapers
Alive in the drought of a homeless mind
turning from a ramen shop to a life of cr

Stage Set
Shutter speed intervene
Get the spark to run
Line the code gene by gene
Get the spark the gun
Illuminate the choreography
highlighting subtle iconography
Big Brother making films through the strobe
from the introspection spectrum through the probe

Movement is a language when your voice is chained
