probably like 90% of the people i am friends with on this thing known me from being a promoter or thru the chicago nightlife / events / whatever. well, as much as that is my life and pays the bills.... since 2001 or so...i have been touring on and off (mostly on til rehab became my priority). well, mudvayne has and always will be a priorty when the call comes. most people are like, "mudvayne" really? how opposite is that of the person i am here in chicago. well, i have been a personal assistant to mudvayne on and off for about 6 years... it has allowed me to go to the grammy's, travel to every single country in the entire world i had ever and will ever want to see, and got paid to do it all. its a rad life. and i promise rehab wont lose any steam. itll still be there to find your next one night stand, next ex bf/gf, and a reason to get fired tuesday. haha no forreal, i just wanted to let everyone in on that...as i am outta here on the 31st of jan w/ mudvayne. i wont be gone that long and ill still be running rehab. word!!

someday, i would like to go home. the exact location of this place i do not know. but someday i would like to go. there would be a feeling of welcome and sense being made in everything i saw. people would greet me warmly, they would remind me of the length of my absence and the thousands of miles i had traveled in those past years. but mostly they would tell me i'd been missed and things were better now that i'd returned. autumn would come to this place of welcome, this place i know to be home. autumn would come and the air would grow cool, dry, and magic as it usually does that time of the year. at night, i'd walk the streets but not feel lonely, for these are the streets of my hometown. these are the streets i had thought about when far away and now i was back and all was as it should be. the trees and the falling leaves would welcome me. i would look up at the moon and remember seeing it in countries all over the world as i had journeyed for years, never remember it looking the same as when viewed from my hometown.

Always

I

Always is a word of trust,

Always is what I choose to say, today.



Always is a word from the heart,

Like blood, it's been a part of me from the start.



Leaves falling collecting upon the ground

Blue heaven blessed be thi named.

Blood and wine, lovers entwined.



Tomorrow never speaks...



II



Maybe Monday, sullen blue, a color true

remembering pictures of me and you.



A lost love dies hard,

Like bad boys on the boulevard.

Coffee blues without caffine

The smoke without nicotine.



Those blood red eyes from tears,

That crack has been in your heart for years.

Don't know why I couldn't come true,

Did I ever really know you?



Love grows away from the tree,

Black crows feet spell misery.

Four leaf clovers or rabbits feet,

Couldnt of saved you and me.



Sing me your song of unspeakable sorrows,

It was your open wounds and heart I borrowed.

If ever I shall meet you on some high plain,

I may wish you back again.



Here deep in the valleys crotch,

I wish for nothing but a shallow plot.

Wait on the years to widdle my bones,

Leaving nothing but a solemn stone.



A faint memory of earths past,

A relic lying beneath the grass.

Forever looking up towards the midnight sky,

Running tiny movies of you and I...
