Rebirth

What if you had the chance to live this life again?
What if you had the option to re-write all your pain?
Which door would you choose?
Would you honour and uphold?
Or would you reap revenge on every fuck who tried to crush your soul?

From the playground bully to the streets head soldier
Were gonna mix these fuckers up and send em all to the slaughter
I know you can feel me when you’re alone at night
I'm that sense of insecurity when you turn out the light
I'm that sensation in your mind when you feel you’re being watched
I'm the reason you get out of bed to check your doors are locked
I'm following you fuckers yes you’d best be afraid
Because the mood this monsters in I’m gonna rape you with my blade

What if you had the chance to live this life again?
What if you had the option to re-write all your pain?
Which door would you choose?
Would you honour and uphold?
Or would you reap revenge on every fuck who tried to crush your soul?

Straight into hunting its back to basics
got a diamond sharpened drill its time to inflict
Got some eight inch bolts with some stainless nuts
Got him fixed to my bench with his mouth wired shut
I’ve bent his knees to 85 degrees
With my brand new drill this should just be a breeze
There’s a hole right through with a bolt in place
I’m tightening the nut you should see his face
The healing must be started get the blow torch fired up
You should see him cry, he’s all fucked up

Hes all fucked up cus he messed with me
Let this be a lesson if you wanna take on me

Im gunning straight for my bully there’s no time for tricks
for him something special ever seen a crucifix?
I nail the bitch down with some 6 inch slugs
I make him wear my crown while I drain his blood
Pulling on the rope lift him 6 feet high
Carve my message in his chest as I listen to him die
Get down on my knees with my arms out wide
Look to the sky I think its my time to die

Jenni & Toni - Love Song

We’re just another “what if” in a world where we can dream
Holding hands together in a picture perfect scene
Watch the wildlife together as we cuddle by the stream
A kiss from you feels heaven sent with the warmth from a sunbeam

Staring at her phone making notes to write a track
All that she can think of is your out and wishing you were back
The world just seems so lonely when she can't confide in you
She's  always checking Facebook and she prays that you do too
It's hard to admit her feelings when she knows she has no chance
That man who she is dreaming has taken the marriage stance
But her heart still longs for him regardless of the ring
She knows it beats for real she's not looking for a fling
Although they try and fight it, it starts affecting lives
She's got her future husband and you, you've got your wife
But there will always be a niggle in the back of her mind
It will be her heart that asks the question, "are you sure this path is right?"

We’re just another “what if” in a world where we can dream
You run your hands on my body in a picture perfect scene
Watch the wildlife together as we cuddle by the stream
A kiss from you feels heaven sent with the warmth from a sunbeam

If she's lucky he opens up, expresses his emotion
He doesn't know his words are like the moon to her ocean
dependent on the phase or the coming lunar cycle
Each letter penetrating like a bullet from his riffle
Her eyes they fill with colour and the passion starts to stir
As he sends through a song and dedicates it to her
The talking gets intense and she starts to get confused
Her heart has took a pounding and she starts to feel it bruise
but Jenny battles on because she knows that Toni's right
She doesn't want to be the victim she's preparing for the fight
She has an Ace card up her sleeve and she brings it into play
Pulls out her guitar...Strums and starts to say;

If you inboxed me tomorrow and told me it was done
said that you were single , that I'm the only one
In the matter of a heartbeat, you would see me run
Fast into your arms like the bullet from a gun
Fast into your arms like the bullet from a gun
In the matter of a heartbeat, you would see me run

A Soldier's Lie

This story that I tell is of a soldier's lie
A life of lives that this soldier tried to hide
The kind of life this man would try to leave behind
Until he faced the bullet eye to eye
Hes out in the desert in the firing line
Tracers lighting up in the midnight sky
A few stray bullets one through his thigh
A bullet with his name on gonna pierce his eye
STOP!!
In that split second when he should have died
The whole world froze and he got the chance to retry
Every little step and every crime
In the hope to prevent his end that is nigh
Hes taken back to a night in late July
Where he hears a woman scream its not my time
There's one man behind her and one either side
Demanding money from this woman else she would die
STOP!!
This time he springs into action instead of walking by
His army training comes in useful now he cant deny
That every little helps especially when you strive
Now this soldiers actions have kept the woman alive
Feeling happy with himself he starts to reside
Until the clock starts to spin the world in rewind
He wakes up near his home and hes at the road side
To find a little girl crossing is it her goodbye?
STOP!!
This time its a little different its like his path is entwined
Because hes looking at himself only just to find
That hes relaxing at the wheel with all his senses blind
On a course which will see young flesh and steel bind
There's only one way to save her and it must be tried
Once again he must be placed in the firing line
Racing at the girl running in full stride
To sacrifice himself this soldier had to die

To Beard Or Not To Beard?

To beard or not to beard? – that is the question.

Fashion and trends change all of the time.  I have never been a big follower of fashion and I certainly do not stick to any trends.  I like to stand out from the crowd but at the same time not shock.  I like to pick things that I haven’t seen anyone else wearing before but still fit within my usual manly taste.

From an early age I had the luxurious privilege of being able to grow a beard.  I had discovered an amazing ability, I could shave if I needed to catch the bus so I could get on for half fare, and I would grow it if I knew I was going out of an evening so that I could get served at the bar - It was brilliant!

I have always had a shaved head but I started going bald way before my time.  It did not matter to me that my hairline was gradually vanishing because I could sport a proud beard.  The beard quickly became a platform for me to show my individuality.  Most people cut and style their hair but I could cut and style my beard, and I was adventurous.  Various colours and many man hours sculpting and shaving led to a whole catalogue of designs, each one changing the way my face would look.

As I started to get older, the realisation of what a tool I must have looked like began to govern the styles I now chose to go with.  After some consideration I decided I was going to grow my beard long, it had always been something I wanted to do but I used to prefer the variety that could be achieved from shaving and styling.  Of course growing a long beard was nothing new, but it was not commonly seen.

After many months of growing and admiring my new creation on my face I made the decision to cut it all back due to impending job interviews.  Having then landed a new job and settling in well, I think it’s time to grow my beard back.  However, where ever I go there are beards - Beards, beards everywhere. I am no longer that bald guy with the big beard, I am just another face in the crowd.  The beard has become socially acceptable which is great, but it now also appears to be a growing trend and fashionable. 

So the man who doesn’t follow fashion or stick to a trend suddenly looks like he has fully embraced this new wave of beard growing and has jumped upon the wagon for a wild ride.  The truth is, I love my beard, if it means that it looks like I am personally trending then I will have to take it one step further.  I will grow my beard thicker and longer so I no longer look like a beard follower, but a beard leader!!

TO BEARD!

The Future Of Humankind

Unfortunately, looking at the world today, the outcome for us as a species is not looking good.  We are called humankind for a reason, because we are all the same species.  We should be working together to solve our problems rather than fighting them out with our neighbors or enemies.

Recent events on the TV have made the world open their eyes to the atrocities that are being caused.  The deaths in Paris, School children massacred in Pakistan and these are just the recent ones.  Going back through our history, it has been full of colour, but all for the wrong reasons.

I can completely understand peoples varying views, and the need for action or confrontation based on a given event, but surely there are better ways of solving our problems.  Look at what we have achieved in our history.  We are innovators, inventors, we strive to make the impossible possible and collectively we are a force to be reckoned with.

The way the world is at the moment however, I do not see a way back for certain situations.  Both sides showing force with a strong opinion about not backing down.  What will this achieve?  Whichever side wins there will always be opposition and an uprising.  It is difficult to pigeon hole the world’s problems because they vary in cause but could you imagine a world that works together?  Could you imagine Russia, The United States of America, Chine and the EU all getting together to iron out problems and come up with solutions? 

Unfortunately in my eyes there is only one way that will unite the world and that is when we all face extinction.  Until then I think everyone will keep vying for power, territory and money.  The time will come when everyone has to unite to save ourselves and maybe then people will come together. 

Even in towns now the feeling of working together has gone.  I walk through my local town and it looks like it’s every man for himself, everyone focused on what they have to do and caring less and less about the people around them.  Unfortunately I also fall under this category.  I will think nothing less of putting in my earphone and drowning out the world with my favourite music rather than listening to other people’s pointless conversations.  I do however still behave like a gentleman, I open doors for people, I smile and be polite and I am always courteous.  Some days now I even welcome listening to a little conversation and as I’m getting older I sometimes find myself included in such conversations.

The world will not change overnight, we have to make the small changes and they will grow and combine and make bigger changes.  Start from home, start each day positive, make a little eye contact and give a little smile – you might just get one back!

Ancient Visitors

I go through life with an open mind about everything. There are very few things that I can say 100% that I do not believe in because in my eyes, anything could be possible given the knowledge of its process. I’m sure that hundreds of years ago the thought of having light at the flick of a switch without a flame would have been an impossible thought. The idea of watching a box with a glass front that shows pictures and sound would have been a marvel, yet here we are with it all around us taking everything for granted without giving it a seconds thought.

What if we wanted to think bigger? What if we look to the skies for inspiration on this thought? More specifically out in to space. How could those reported flying discs have made it all the way to our planet? What are they doing here and how did they get here? The theory is that nothing can travel faster than light so disregarding any wormhole theories or the bending of space itself then we have a bit of a pickle.

 

I watched a program on the TV the other day called Ancient Aliens. A lot of it seemed like ‘episode fillers’ in my opinion but there are a few things that stick in my mind.  Particularly the ancient depictions and drawings of the visitors from out of space. They seem incredibly human like in most cases, but what if they were human? How could that be possible? Well here is a curved ball I will throw out there. Given my initial thought that anything could be possible with the right knowledge, who is to say that those ancient visitors and the discs that some people claim to see flying around the world are not humans from the future? What if somewhere in the distant future some clever scientists put their minds together and devised a way to travel back in time? We would not be able to see much evidence of this because no doubt it would be heavily policed. As with any society though there are always law breakers, maybe somewhere, someone decided to go back in time and help the civilizations of the past. It would certainly give an explanation as to how certain things were built or created that seem far too advanced for its time and in some cases too advance for us.

Is it possible that the pictures and carvings we see of the people of the skies are actually humans from the future? Well all I can say is it's certainly not impossible!
