Machine Man

I have watched my shadow grow
Longer in the setting sun
Waiting for the word or voice
Waiting for the one

Hoping I can find a way
Of getting back to who I am
Looking underneath it all
Try to find the man

I thought I was

Circuits and wires are all that’s left
Of me where I should feel
Nothing but a ghost remains
There’s nothing left that’s real

I thought I was bigger than all of this
I thought I could somehow rise above
It seems I was mistaken
I’m not what I was made of

Bits and pieces fall and crash
And I just watch them fall
I would try to put them back
But I just don’t care at all

I am the machine
And the machine is me
Calculating logic
With a cold energy

away

Pulled away a again
Down that road once more

Thought I was doing so well
Thought I knew the score

I gave up
You gave in
Somewhere we both stopped caring

I stared off
You tuned out
No longer really living

Something Missing

I think there's something missing
Wouldn't you agree?
I think there's something missing
A little piece of you
and a little piece of me.

I'm solid and
Your hollow
Transparent
And
Opaque

Tell me what I don't know
Or at least what I can take

We could be such friends

A little piece of you
A little piece of me
Not a whole lot more
The rest we'll all leave be

Speak to me
Talk hard and fast
and in all CAPS
Feed my need and I'll give back

I promise

What can I be for you?

That hole is slowly closing
Filling at least for now

A little piece of me
Fits into
A little piece of you

At least for a while.

I think there's something missing
Wouldn't you agree?
I think there's something missing
A little piece of you
and a little piece of me.

I'm solid and
Your hollow
Transparent
And
Opaque

feel

There's a beast in the distance
Howling madly at the moon
Sometimes I feel his teeth at my neck
Drooling down my spine

I'd be frightened if I cared
I'd be scared if I wasn't so stupid

Starting
falling
back on yourself
The snake devours its tale

I was something once
I can't remember when
It was there before the box
Now it's gone again

I want
I want

I want so bad to feel again

Brave New World

Representation
Of Dis-information
A key stroke away

Clicking madly
Through a sea so sadly
Wasting every day

Buy and sell
A piece of hell
To get your personal Mecca

Pick a side
Then run and hide
From all the falling wreckage

I fear this brave new world at hand
A byte of emotion on demand
Getting closer together and father apart
Fiber optic orgies of the heart

I'd go outside but I'm so much safer here
I'd go outside but I'm so much better here

The digital trade
Gets my portfolio laid
Without the sticky mess

Who I am
Woman or man
Anyone can guess

Plug IT IN
TURN IT ON
SEND IT OUT

Turn it off

Touch me Touch myself
Then put it back on the shelf
Digital foreplay

Your pain can be
Relieved easily
It's just a boot away

Binary death
Silicon breath
Pull the cord and jump

Up and down
All around
From mortal man to lump

I fear this brave new world at hand
A byte of emotion on demand
Getting closer together and farther apart
Fiber optic orgies of the heart

My window to the world measures 15 inches
My window of opportunity measures 15 inches

PLUG IT IN
TURN IT ON
SEND IT OUT

Turn it off

Time Warner Cablevision and Roadrunner fast Internet access are the DEVIL!! Sorry for no updates in a LONG time but my friends at Time Warner felt I spent way too much time online and was kind enough to keep my connection down for around 2 months. To top it all off I upgraded to digital cable as well and the piece of junk NEVER worked! The technician left my house scratching his head and saying... "Hmmmmmm, beats me? I'll call in a work order for you" So for two months I fought with Time Warner and Roadrunner trying to get some if ANY customer service from them and found them to be rude unhelpful and just plain didn't care about whether or not I was able to get online or watch any channels, including local channels. Amazingly enough I was fascinated to see that they had no problem issuing bills and late notices for something I couldn't even watch to begin with??? What is wrong with these people? Are they so inept that they can't even comp service that doesn't work??? All I can say to anyone out there thinking of switching to a cable modem or digital cable is DON'T !!! Please for the love of GOD there are alternatives!!! Trust me I know.

BUT!!!!

All is not lost! Like a savior DirecTV and DirecDSL have swooped down from the heavens and corrected all my problems and as of yet I have not had anything go wrong (knock on wood) with my service. When I have had questions they have answered them, when I needed help they were there. Heck, they even showed up on time to install (actually early and called to see if they could) my system!!!! If you are looking for fast access I must say that so far my experience has been great and I would recommend them to anyone!! Good Luck
More later...
