minutes to murder

Ever wondered how you felt, when you know your going to go to die. Imagine a guy with a .45 barrel down his throat, that split second before he knows its really gonna damn hurt. Yeah... I hope I don't go through that. But I know I will when the time comes.

Its amazing what we would do, to avoid pain. But thinking about it, isn't it amazing what we would do knowing that we are gonna get damn hurt. Why do we do it? Is it to prove that we are strong, or maybe it's just to prove that we can do it. Or maybe its just to feel alive. To hear a voice, to realize a dream. Oh damn, I could come with a million suggestions, and someone out there can relate to at least one of them. Why do we do it? I ask again.

Its almost time. And I'm going to do it again. I fuckin dunno. Maybe it's just because, I should be nice. To make up for past blunders I guess. I simply don't have a reason. My brain doesn't seem to be working these days, specially when it needs to run at full throttle. I think it's just to be nice. I'm not evil. And I don't want to be. At least not to people who don't deserve it.

Confused. I think that's an understatement. There should be another word for this. I think someone on crack would feel better than this. Oh well, it's time. So let's get it over with.

Bang.

Don't get lost in the hype

The hype builds. The competition starts. A winner is born. The world revolves. We who have been subject to this wonderful hype have noticed, (and I'm sure many people would agree here) that it dies down as fast as it comes up. You're hot and what not, and in a flash, your just a speck in history. It has been seen, it has been heard and it has been witnessed.

Do we follow it up with creation that wow the world? Only time will tell. Or are we just helping those worthwhile sponsors in cutting their budget? I'm sure that many of us know the answer. It takes hell of a lot more than talent to make history, or actually be noticed in it. You're the best one day, and it'll be a matter of time till someone else breaks that. But hey, they can be proud, they pushed themselves to make it. Nothing comes out of the box. Nothing happens unless you make it happen. And everyone who can, will stomp you down to get on top of you.

Then, we eventually come down to the boilerplate question, how do we do it? I think any fool, (or a smart ass) can answer that. Hard work and having some good fortune up your sleeve. A famous band, (shoot yourself if you don't know) said it's 40% music and 60% marketing. They couldn't be more truthful if they tried.

So the next time you want to whine around, complain and start blaming the people for having bad taste (oh yeah, we all can relate to that one) ask yourself, have you done what it takes, have you given what it takes, have you sacrificed all you can and more. Well if you did, you'd be up there playing at Wembley, with thousands cheering on. Oh, and if you didn't, well then, you never really tried.
