I've recently come back to listening to TOOL and let me be the first person to say that they are awesome. Speaking of music, there are two interesting songs by Smashing Pumpkins (there are many but these two are special for a different reason) these two - named the 'Beginning is the end is the beginning' and the 'End is the beginning is the end' have been created for two super hero movies namely "Batman and Robin" and 'Watchmen' (not necessarily in that order, and fans of watchmen will argue with me for calling it a superhero movie, but lets not get into that) . I've put the lyrics to both the songs later on. There was also my rediscovery of 'Crazy town' via a song of theirs called 'Discovery' pretty nice.
I remember there was a comet that was supposed to be visible around the 26th or so of Feb sadly I couldn't see it mostly because I had no telescope or binoculars but also because well everything in the nightsky seemed tinged with green that night, searching for a green tinged comet was not exactly - easy. A remark on the ides of march coming up made me remember books by Richard Armour, his books were almost integral to my childhood and memories of reading them during the summer are still very very close to me. Reading those books draped over chair's armrests and eating Leechis are in fact very very - enwarming and enfuzzying.
Nothing much of note has happened I'm awaiting march madness, as are a lot of other people, lets see what it results in. 'Twisted nails of faith' by the way is a song by 'Cradle of Filth', not an exceptional song, or even a good one, but one whose name I happen to like.
The Beginning is the End is the Beginning - Smashing Pumpkins
The Watchmen version
Send a heartbeat to
The void that cries through you
Relive the pictures that have come to pass
For now we stand alone
The world is lost and blown
And we are flesh and blood disintegrate
With no more to hate
Is it bright where you are
Have the people changed
Does it make you happy you're so strange
And in your darkest hour
I hold secrets flame
We can watch the world devoured in it's pain
Delivered from the blast
The last of a line of lasts
The pale princess of a palace cracked
And now the kingdom comes
Crashing down undone
And I am a master of a nothing place
Of recoil and grace
Is it bright where you are
Have the people changed
Does it make you happy you're so strange
And in your darkest hour
I hold secrets flame
We can watch the world devoured in it's pain
Time has stopped before us
The sky cannot ignore us
No one can separate us
For we are all that is left
The echo bounces off me
The shadow lost beside me
There's no more need to pretend
Cause now I can begin again
Is it bright where you are
Have the people changed
Does it make you happy you're so strange
And in your darkest hour
I hold secrets flame
We can watch the world devoured in it's pain
Strange

The End is the Beginning is the End - Smashing Pumpkins
The Batman Version
The sewers belch me up
The heavens spit me out
From ethers tragic I am born again
And now I'm with you now
Inside your world of wow
To move in desires made of deadly pretends
Till the end times begin
Is it bright where you are
Have the people changed
Does it make you happy you're so strange
And in your darkest hour, I hold secrets flame
You can watch the world devoured in it's pain
Strange
Climb my ribcage to
The replays run for you
Unhook my lights to peek behind the flash
For I am crystal chrome
I am shatter dome
I am kremlin king of angels avenged
To destroy the end
Is it bright where you are
Have the people changed
Does it make you happy you're so strange
And in your darkest hour, I hold secrets flame
You can watch the world devoured in it's pain
The zeppelins rain upon us
The guns of love disastrous
A shadow lies amongst you
To defy the future cast
Is it bright where you are
Have the people changed
Does it make you happy you're so strange
And in your darkest hour, I hold secrets flame
You can watch the world devoured in it's pain
Strange
Strange
