Medical Tape

never under estimate the many uses of a good roll of medical tape. oh some may swear by duct tape or electrical or god help us scotch tap, but none have the multi-funtionability and adaptability of a good OLE roll of medical tape. Just think of the possibilities, they're endless. Need to stop a leak on a fuel injector, slap some medical tape on it.

 

Running out of stickers to label you diskettes, throw some medical tape on it. got a cut: medical tape it. Just had an arm blow off and don't have the heart to cauterize it: lots of medical tape. run out of white-out to forge you doctors notes via a copying machine. Aided by good old American know-how, yes-medical tape can help.

 

But wait there's more. its water resistant, user friendly, comes off in easy to tear strips, is customizable. Our inventor had the foresight to create it in a happy and neutral color of white(standard) it’s become what you make it. you can write on it, draw on it, color it, and create all manners of mummy constructions. I swear by it and you will too. And it can be all yours absolutely free. (well excluding a petty theft, or fraud charge here and there) Take a hammer or readily accessible blunt object, then choose any convenient appendage or other misc. body part and proceed to masochist heaven. Then walk into to any local emergency room and they will practically give it away. *note due to current budget cut backs you may be limited to one roll* No fear, this is easily solve by conducting a thorough inspection of all suspicious looking cabinets and drawers.

 

Don't have the stomach for such a display of self-destruction. Not to fear these tactic work just as well on your friends (assuming you have friends) as they do on you. These tactics also has the added advantage of allowing your friends to become distractions sort of speak, to all those who would seek to stop you from acquiring said tape.

 

...huh were am I? oh d@mn guess I blacked out again.

d@mn reveries. ok I’ll shut up now

Disposition of war

 

Quite possible the first thing i ever wrote for the that online game of archmage... When looking for an alliance, lady Aeralain asked me my disposition of war... This was my responce.

 

Aug 17, 1999

 

You notice a somewhat thoughtful expression forming on your brow as you ponder over the tiresome tasks of renewing your once fair country. The frenzy of Armageddon had not so much as blinked at the destruction to your kingdom. Just as well as Armageddon was just a lethal to your rivals as it was to you. With so much to be done, you resolve to enlist more of your attention to the welfare of your now fledging nation. But as repetitive and medial tasks often do, you find your self more and more engaged in thoughts of distraction. A sudden chill breeze blows across you causing you to shudder. Spying the cause you lean over to shut the offending window. In doing a single ray of light is allowed to pass a small opening in the curtains created by the nudging of an absentminded arm. Again you shudder as the chill of the warm day makes circles of tenseness across your body. Now thoroughly distracted from your tasks you muse in quiet reverie all manners of flippant yet soothing thought. As if on cue a quiet knock from outside your chamber wakes you from your daydream. After acknowledging the source you find it to be a small child bearing scroll with red wax. Ah yes now you remember the alliance. Bidding the child to speak the message begins:

 

My lady Aeralain,

 

As of yet my kingdom in its renewed infancy has broached no other noble mage in war. Being of less than five hundred turns in this world I have set aside the bulk of my power to research. You will find me not to be an overly aggressive mage who knows when and when not to show the fury of the dreamlost. As for future reinforcements and my nature of war fare, you may be intrigue to know that I have had in my service hordes of mindflayers, archangels, treants, and liches as equally distributed as possible with some small reliance on the elements, wraiths, and or archers and cavalry. It makes for an expensive yet effective way of holding off multiple attacks. Alas I can not give the exacting figures fore I have be far too long gone from terra and I fear my methods my have becomes somewhat less effective, and likewise adjustments shall surely be needed. If we are to ally, all my resources, provided the cause is just, shall be offered to your service. I hope my small request has sparked some interest. With that I bid you good fortune and leave you to consider.

"Behold the dream cometh!"

the dream continues...

 

As the message ends you send the child away and ponder this new offer...

The DreamLost

 

In the chill of a warm day

A song sings much clearer

In the shudder of a lone ray

The mind finds much dearer

With the expanding loss of touch

The senses glimpse another

Sharp intakes blur, no fell, the borders

While sudden insights burst forth the corners

In the far off world of memory

He ponders broken reverie

Lost shadows: reborn to enlighten

Fleeting wisps: grasped-only forgotten

All this-from an impromptu ray

In the chill of a warm day

Marker clown

 

break it down and build it up...

balance it on a paper cup...

turn it right, no turn it round

woodgrain desk, makes up the ground...

 

dry erase, now add the chain

pen tops make a worthy brain...

add a joint, to angle off- the

imitation fossil watch

 

stacked upon your cloudy dreams

looking up- your creature beams...

hi-lighter arms and wired frames

pen tops make a worthy brain?

 

think so?

NO!

oh...

 

so, break it up and build it down...

must remember not to frown

turn it right, no turn it 'round...

wooden desk, a shaky ground...

 

stretch him out between the poles,

shaking hands, a problem posed...

blue/black ink pen?

that's his nose...

what the clips then?

those are toes...

 

funny what you made today,

on that woodgrain desk you played...

building up and breaking down

a pen top friend

a marker clown...

Mr. Machine

 

mr. machine your not listening...

mr. machine can you hear that ring...

i've called you over and over again...

but you won't tell that too my friend...

 

i left you my name, and i left you my number

how many times will it take to dis-cover...

so maybe i just don't understand

how so many words can miss a friend...

 

to turn to me a deafened ear...

and make my friend think i don't care...

a messenge machine is a cold cruel thing

the blinking eye'd one doesn't like my ring

 

turn yourself off, so i can see

if she'll pick up the phone and talk to me

and this will end my agony

'cause it was only you ignorning me...

Lyrics for a song that exist only in my head orginally written May 26, 2001 for project aristole...

 

Holes…

 

Make me a picture to cover the hole.

Patch up the wall, can you mend what you break.

The tape and spackle are in the garage.. waiting for you.

To patch up wall, father patch up the wall.

 

Another nite of hell.

Another time of fear.

 

Morning again. What happenend here?

A few plates broken -that's okay.

i'm sure we can fix it, this time again

 

More holes in the wall, broken glass in the yard,

A few tables broken-- have you seen the dog?

Don’t worry sir, we can pick up the trash

And live by your promise that this was the last… time again..

 

So, patch up the wall, Can you mend what you break?

Patch up the wall, can you cover your mistakes…?

 

Hide it behind a picture frame,

Why bother with spackle, we won’t complain

So you patched up the wall,

But can you patch me up too…

Those Holes that you started are killing me too…

 

Brother left home the other day, don’t know when he’ll return..

Don’t know if you even care… don’t care if you even try…

Why are you so angry… all of the time…

 

Another question if you don’t mind, I’m sorry I'm wasting all your time…

But, why did you have to put you fist through the wall…

I sure it deserved it, and it’s not your fault

And did that stud hurt when you couldn’t break through?

I’m sure you shut it up good, and you shut me up too…

Whatever did the poor thing do to you?

 

So patch the wall Father, Patch up the wall…

Patch up the wall… but can you patch me up too?

Well, if y'all haven't noticed, i sort of archiving my past works here. I lost partically everything i wrote in highschool, so i don't want that to happen again...

 

Written in the summer of 2000.

 

Stay awake.(original)

 

1. Stay awake

2. And do not dream

3. Stay awake

4. And learn the beam

5. Another time…

6. Another place…

7. You can dream, of her face

8. ‘Til then, you’re needed here

9. To learn about the faded flows

10. Another time…

11. Another place…

12. Just stay awake

13. Stay awake…

 

Variation 1

 

Stay awake

And do not dream

Stay awake

She’s everything

Another time…

Another place…

You can dream, of her face

Until that time, you’re needed here

Until that time, you’re wanted near

 

Stay awake

You must not dream

Focus on, the lonely screen

Struggle now

With lessons learned

Struggle now

To discern

Touch of hazel, or hint of green

Just stay awake

And do not dream

 

 

Var. 2 and 3... regretably lost...

Neglect

 

a sudden chill

a moment's thrill

lips part as quick as they met

she was long expecting

what he'd been neglecting

a fool - only he would forget

August 27, 2000... Inspired by Kab and Cath...

 

Echo… (orignal)

 

City of lights…

A quiet night…

Searching for an echo…

In the city of lights,

I’ll spend my nights,

To wonder, ‘round this ring

 

Softly through the thinning air,

I’ll send to you this charming dare…

Choking tears to hold you near…

Wonder if it’s really fare?

 

City of lights

A lonely night

Searching for my echo

In this city of sights-

To fight back fright, to find you in that ping…

Maybe I fear, that you won’t hear

Maybe my signal rings too clear

Tell me, I sent it far too strong

Tell me, I waited far too long

City of lights,

But not tonight

Softly fades my echo…

 

Echo… Variation 1

 

City of lights…

A quiet night…

Softly fades an echo…

In the city of lights,

Why spend the nights,

To wonder, ‘round this ring

 

City of lights

A lonely night

Softly fades an echo

In this city of sights-

It’s passion’s right to bond them in its ring

 

In the smallest shedding of one’s tears

The other will hear

A hint of a longing

A hint of a dare…

City of lights,

But not tonight

Softly fades an echo…

 

Other variation's lost.

Nov 17, 2001 ...written in a mad dash for signe, when sending her a x-mas card... but ended up sending it to everyone i knew.

 

 

Christmastime,

 

Another day, as it is known

Takes time to sparkle all it’s own

And lonely ones shed tears no more

As loved one’s knock upon your door.

 

When calls are made, old friends remember

They’re not forgotten in cold December

In a rush, no time for thought

Hearts are warmed, kind words are bought

 

Sent many miles, with gifts that say

I remembered you, will you remember me?

 

As smiles turn inward one can reflect

It’s Christmastime, do not forget

To wish all well that you hold dear

And fill them all with you good cheer…

Candle Bright

 

Candle bright, a soulful light

I saw you in a poem

Quoting verse of slow rebirth

You caught me in that storm...

A soft spring night, what filled my mind?

A siren's song for sure...

You burned so bright, that wonderous night

how welcome- your lovely form...

We touched with a kiss, what had been missed

Too long had we waited for joy...

But fate made me choke and then i awoke

to curse the cruelness of time...
