Makes no sense.... Until It makes SENSE

When I first started getting an idea for this post... i was watching a movie that I probably wouldn't tell anyone that I was watching... TWILIGHT. Yes, that sappy movie about 2 young kids(well, the vampire dude was like 108) being in love and longing for each other and having this intense emotional connection all wrapped in a vampie story.

When I read the book(audio style) I was like, "I kinda see it" why these HS girls were so gone off these novels. As much as part of it is Fairytale, a lot of that emotional connection comes across quite authentic as the author lays out the plot for the reader.

As I watched the movie, and actually got to see that connection personified and played out on the screen, I started to see it a little more. THEN I came to about 15 minutes from the end and the CLIMAX scene and this song comes on..... Already being an emotional person who feels and connects with my world in the smallest, atom like of things, I heard the first few chords of this song and it was like that first touch of that Tattoo needle again. That rush...that sensation...
The song is minute... actually about 2 min 20 seconds, and the verse is so short.... but the words with the music to me ERUPTS...and allows that SHIT in you that makes you know you're alive unfold.

The song is called, "Let me Sign"

"Ohh Ohh Oh
She was standing there by The broken tree
Her hands are all twisted.... She's pointing at me
I was damned by light comin' Out of her eyes,
she spoke with a voice that Disrupted the sky
She said walk on over here To the bitter shade
I'll wrap you in my arms And you'll know you've been saved
Let me sign
Let me sign"

(Sorry for the photos of this guy, but it's all I could find)


Looking at my Itunes, I've played this song 28 times in about 2 hours... It's just how I am, when there is something that I connect with, and I feel it, I become almost obsessive in finding the meaning in it.

The part that it was played on in the movie was PERFECT.. and I mean it. I'd watch the entire thing again just for the 2 minutes of the scene that the song was played. It literally wrapped itself around me and it was like this auora, where Joy, agony, tears, sorrow, jubilation, all things foribidden, all things desired all congregated right in my soul.

I love that I can feel.... I know I've been on this FREEDOM kick, but it's just where I'm at right now. It's the greatest gift God has given us... FREEDOM. We as people are all so enslaved by so many things of little consequence... Our Wealth, Our appearance, our status, our own self worth that sometimes, we lose what it feels to just be ALIVE.

To just inhale and really absorb what that breath of oxygen truly is to us. We don't take time to breathe anymore... it's already been reserved for something else. We don't enjoy the simplistic beauty of creation, of nature, of creativity, of ABSOLUTION, of abstraction, of anything.

To ask me if I get all of that from a 2 minute song, I'll tell you, NO, but it reminded me to be patient and not to fear what is around the corner.. To allow my life to flow effortlessly and not be one to force anything. To know when to extend and when to withdraw...

To know that what's in my head may not make sense to anyone else in the world, but if it's my song, to hold it close to who I am and Sing it for every day that I walk this Earth.

For 13 times, I've sat in a Tattoo chair, and in each visit, I've felt Alive because I was expressing MY SONG on my skin. Whether you like Tattoos, or you don't believe in them or whatever, that's for you... But My art is just me singing my song... Because I don't always have the voice to grab your attention, hopefully my appearance can...

Life is too short, NOT TO SCREAM YOUR SONG... because somebody other than you might need to hear it to find their own music... I needed to hear this song, this 2 minutes of guitar and blues/folksy words that you can barely understand to Rekindle that sensation which defines me.

I AM ALIVE!!!!!!! And because of that, the story isn't complete... Write the chapters of your own Life, with the passion of knowing that you EXSIST for a purpose.


This is the Middle Finger, telling you not to think outside the box. But rather, FUCK THE BOX, LIVE OUTSIDE of your own MIND. Because in that place, THERE ARE NO LIMITATIONS and the only absolute in this world is DEATH...and of that and when that comes you have no control...So LIVE, LIVE each second like the next one is going to be your last.
