If
Posted 12 years agoIf you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you
But make allowance for their doubting too,
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:
If you can dream--and not make dreams your master,
If you can think--and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools:
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it all on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breath a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!"
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings--nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
If all men count with you, but none too much,
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And--which is more--you'll be a Man, my son!

Posted 14 years agoHey everyone!
I just wanted to post a journal advertising my car club on Forza Motorsport 4. The club is called [FFur] Fueled Furs, and I'd really like to start a big club for furs playing the game; currently we only have a few members. Come join so we can share our creations, represent the car-inclined portion of the furry fandom, and help each other learn to drive better if nothing else. My Xbox LIVE gamertag is Redline Vulpine, so please contact me/send a request to join [FFur] Fueled Furs and let's get this thing started!

I'm still alive!
Posted 15 years agoHey everyone!
I just wanted to post something to get rid of my pre-AC journal and to also let anyone that cares know that I still exist! Lately I have just been doing the school thing and playing games by myself in the meantime. I have been drawing some stuff that I may put on here eventually but I am pretty bad about finishing pictures. I hope everyone is doing great! :)

Love
Posted 16 years agoWhen love beckons to you, follow him,
Though his ways are hard and steep.
And when his wings enfold you yield to him,
Though the sword hidden among his pinions may wound you.
And when he speaks to you believe in him,
Though his voice may shatter your dreams
as the north wind lays waste the garden.
For even as love crowns you so shall he crucify you. Even as he is for your growth so is he for your pruning.
Even as he ascends to your height and caresses your tenderest branches that quiver in the sun,
So shall he descend to your roots and shake them in their clinging to the earth.
Like sheaves of corn he gathers you unto himself.
He threshes you to make you naked.
He sifts you to free you from your husks.
He grinds you to whiteness.
He kneads you until you are pliant;
And then he assigns you to his sacred fire, that you may become sacred bread for God's sacred feast.
All these things shall love do unto you that you may know the secrets of your heart, and in that knowledge become a fragment of Life's heart.
But if in your fear you would seek only love's peace and love's pleasure,
Then it is better for you that you cover your nakedness and pass out of love's threshing-floor,
Into the seasonless world where you shall laugh, but not all of your laughter, and weep, but not all of your tears.
Love gives naught but itself and takes naught but from itself.
Love possesses not nor would it be possessed;
For love is sufficient unto love.
When you love you should not say, "God is in my heart," but rather, "I am in the heart of God."
And think not you can direct the course of love, for love, if it finds you worthy, directs your course.
Love has no other desire but to fulfill itself.
But if you love and must needs have desires, let these be your desires:
To melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night.
To know the pain of too much tenderness.
To be wounded by your own understanding of love;
And to bleed willingly and joyfully.
To wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving;
To rest at the noon hour and meditate love's ecstasy;
To return home at eventide with gratitude;
And then to sleep with a prayer for the beloved in your heart and a song of praise upon your lips.
-Kahlil Gibran

On Talking
Posted 16 years ago You talk when you cease to be at peace with your thoughts; and when you can no longer dwell in the solitude of your heart you live in your lips, and sound is a diversion and a pastime. And in much of your talking, thinking is half murdered. For thought is a bird of space, that in a cage of words may indeed unfold its wings but cannot fly.
There are those among you who seek the talkative through fear of being alone. The silence of aloneness reveals to their eyes their naked selves and they would escape. And there are those who talk, and without knowledge or forethought reveal a truth which they themselves do not understand. And there are those who have the truth within them, but they tell it not in words. In the bosom of such as these the spirit dwells in rhythmic silence.
When you meet your friend on the roadside or in the market place, let the spirit in you move your lips and direct your tongue. Let the voice within your voice speak to the ear of his ear; for his soul will keep the truth of your heart as the taste of the wine is remembered when the colour is forgotten and the vessel is no more.
-Kahlil Gibran

Ruin
Posted 16 years agoWalking down the self-destructive path
to extract some shards
of inspiration, the frustration.
You are only as strong as your weakest link,
that concerns me.
The infatuation is an affliction...
Be careful with what you don't understand...
My rogue attitude is not welcome here.
You're the flame that burns me
so I know I'm still alive, I'm still alive...
Don't know how to get you out of this one...
We're falling, always falling...
Deep in your heart sits the key to set me free...
Come set me, set me free...
They say the eyes are the windows to your soul;
a revelation, the desperation.
The imaginary voices in my head aren't imaginary.
Look into my eyes and you'll see that something is wrong...
No one there when I turn around...
I'm falling...
Come un-complicate my life...
I'm falling, I'm falling, always falling...

Posted 16 years agoI used to be someone,
but I grew to be something that I'm not...
It feels like I'm cornered
by everything that you really want...
Why are we here in this same old room?
We stand here, with damaged hope,
but still we carry on...
We both know and always will
it cannot end like this...
We still have a long way to go...
It is kind of hard
to look back on all the good times
and realize nothing will ever be like it used to be...
I wish you were someone I can only disengage.
You opened a lot of doors in me but just closed a few.
You're both the poison and the antidote.
Is my best not good enough for you?
We stand here, with damaged hope,
but still we carry on...
We both know and always will
it cannot end like this...
We still have a long way to go...
They didn't build Rome in a day...
We just need to ride out this storm...
(Ride out this storm)
We stand here, with damaged hope,
But still we carry on...
We both know and always will
it cannot end like this...
We still have a long way to go...

Posted 16 years agoI hurt myself today
to see if I still feel.
I focus on the pain,
the only thing that's real.
The needle tears a hole,
the old familiar sting.
Try to kill it all away
but I remember everything...
What have I become?
My sweetest friend...
Everyone I know
goes away in the end.
You could have it all,
my empire of dirt.
I will let you down,
I will make you hurt.
I wear this crown of shit
on my liar's chair,
full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair.
Beneath the stain of time
the feeling disappears.
You are someone else,
I am still right here.
What have I become?
My sweetest friend...
Everyone I know
goes away in the end.
You could have it all,
my empire of dirt.
I will let you down,
I will make you hurt.
If I could start again,
a million miles away,
I would keep myself,
I would find a way...

Meh.
Posted 16 years agoIf you don't like my fire, then don't come around...
Posted 16 years agoLet us burn one from end to end,
and pass it over to me my friend.
Burn it long, we'll burn it slow,
to light me up before I go...
If you don't like my fire, then don't come around,
'cause I'm gonna burn one down.
Yes, I'm gonna burn one down.
My choice is what I choose to do,
And if I'm causing no harm, it shouldn't bother you.
Your choice is who you choose to be,
And if you're causin' no harm, then you're alright with me.
If you don't like my fire, then don't come around,
'cause I'm gonna burn one down.
Yes, I'm gonna burn one down.
Herb the gift from the earth,
And what's from the earth is of the greatest worth.
So before you knock it try it first,
Oh, you'll see it's a blessing and not a curse.
If you don't like my fire, then don't come around,
'cause I'm gonna burn one down.
Yes, I'm gonna burn one down.

Posted 16 years agoShe told me why
she told me lies...
Always take care of this...
I told her how I've always stayed,
always waiting for nothing...
When I get out of here,
when I leave you behind,
I'll find that the years passed us by...
And I can see you
running through the fields of sorrow...
Yes I can see you
running through the fields of sorrow...
When you get out of here,
When you leave me behind,
You'll find that the years passed us by...
And I can see you
running through the fields of sorrow...
Yes I can see you
running through the fields of sorrow...

A Navigator's Son
Posted 16 years agoTake my heart and set it free, carried forward by the waves...
Nowhere left to run, navigator's son,
chasing rainbows all my days...
Where I go I do not know, I only know the place I've been...
Dreams they come and go, ever shall be so,
nothing's real until you feel...

All Hail the Heartbreaker
Posted 16 years agoI had the notion that you'd make me change my ways,
My bad habits would be gone in a matter of days.
I had the feeling that you'd open up my eyes
to a whole new world that had since been in disguise...
But that day will most likely never come for me,
and it's just my luck to end up getting stuck
to everything you are.
So tonight I'll sit and pick apart your pictures
and over-analyze your words,
but the truth is that I've never fallen so hard...
It's taken everything in me
just to forget your sweater so far...
I had the notion that you'd make me forget the world,
but your indecisive mind shows me that
you are "just another girl."
I had the feeling that those looks you gave me were real...
What if I ripped your heart apart at the seams?
Maybe then you'd know how I feel.
I can honestly say
that I never, ever, ever felt this way.
Your lips, your eyelashes, your skin...
These are the parts of your body
that cause my comatose to begin.
I will sleep another day...
I don't really need to anyway...
What's the point when my dreams are infected
with words you used to say?
I will breathe in a moment...
As long as I keep my distance,
I wouldn't want to go messing anything up.
So don't go worrying about me...
It's not like I think about you constantly.
So maybe I do, but that shouldn't affect
your life anymore.
I knew it the moment you walked into the door...
I'll let you get the best of me
because there's nothing else that I do well...
I'll be the giver and you'll be the taker,
I guess that's how this one's gonna go...
I'll be the giver and you'll be the taker,
You've got me down on my knees and I proclaim
'All Hail the Heartbreaker...'

Posted 17 years agoHow could he know this new dawn's light
would change his life forever?
Set sail to sea but pulled off course
by the light of golden treasure...
Was he the one causing pain
with his careless dreaming?
Been afraid, always afraid
of the things he's feeling...
He could just be gone.
He would just sail on.
He'll just sail on.
How can I be lost
if I've got nowhere to go?
Searched for seas of gold,
how come it's got so cold?
How can I be lost?
In remembrance I relive...
How can I blame you
when it's me I can't forgive?
These days drift on inside a fog,
it's thick and suffocating.
This sinking life outside its hell,
inside intoxicating.
He's run aground like his life,
water's much too shallow.
Slipping fast down with the ship.
fading in the shadows...
Forgive me, forgive me not...
Why can't I forgive me?
Set sail to sea but pulled off course
by the light of golden treasure.
How could he know this new dawn's light
would change his life forever?

Posted 17 years agoIf someone else showed you the way
would you take the wheel and steer?
It hurts me that you're not ashamed
of what you're doing here.
If they jumped off a bridge
would you meet them on the ground?
Or would you try to claim
that it never made a sound?
Everyone plays the hand they're dealt
and learns to walk through life themselves.
Not everything in life is handed on a plate.
When people think your words are true
it doesn't matter what you do.
I sold my soul to get here,
how about you?
So you choose to force your hand,
what a strange way to make friends,
and you always change the rules
so the drama never ends,
and you blindly go through life
judging only by its worth.
Just try not to forget
that the meek inherit Earth.
So please don't take offense,
this is just a point of view.
'Cause I'm the only one who
will say these things to you.
