JOURNAL: TheNanashi (Brandon Baity)

  • "...and she screamed Claudio, dear Claudio. I wish god damn it we'll make it if you believe..." 2002-07-30 18:34:28 I'm working on 2 new Initial D videos, I hope they turn out good. I have tons of ambition...

    We'll apparently a local church called up today and I might be doing some editing work for them on commericals and stuff. That would be my very first editing job...very cool.


    Ok, a few people asked me to post more of my poetry here, so here are a few more, also just e-mail or AIM me if you want more.

    "Stacking the Deck Against War Machines:"

    This is my uprising
    Its liberating
    So don't let me fall
    Hear my call
    My life is a fire
    Fueled by desire
    Waiting
    Never to tire
    With where's where
    Down there
    Up from despair
    The very thing that makes us fight
    Kisses us goodnight
    It sets the right
    With flame of light
    Breaking the oppressive
    Against the depressive
    I look down, but far from out
    Wont let it be
    My maybe
    Sweet Stephany
    You are the personal anarchy

    We know, we see
    And I believe
    In such a mystery
    Oh dear god
    Your so lovely

    I've woken up
    To a world too big for the both of us
    So don't change your mind
    just let yourself unwind
    Bad things change all the time
    Don't be afraid to risk it all
    We'll catch each other even if we fall
    Either way we win.


    "If You Wish To Be Notified:"(This is the poem I wrote on my birthday and was inspired by birthday thoughts and stuff...im 19 now)

    Aging makes us old
    growing more cold
    The truth be told
    Selling makes you sold
    And not sure of how it goes
    Or what life truly shows
    who knows
    Time is better off for those that care
    I'm just living my share
    This is all I can fathom
    Truly a far better place I imagine
    So how do I feel
    Yes, I feel
    Reborn as a sun
    Like a virgin gun
    A song left unsung
    Surreally young



    enjoy...also everyone should check out the band Coheed and Cambria, they rock...go to www.coheedandcambria.com for more info on the band. Peace out. 
  • "turned out all the lights in my house, and I waited for you...waited for you. Ran around, bumped into walls, and I waited for you." 2002-07-07 02:18:22 You know what....i realized I like writing poetry, I wasn;t into it that much until my senior year, my English teacher, Mr. Andrews made us do these free writes and would let us write down whatever we wanted to for the first few minutes of class. So I would write down my thoughts and sometimes turn it into a rhyme or poem and it just made my mind come alive to the poetic side i never knew i had, so i would really like to thank Mr. Andrews for being a really great teacher and helping me expand my mind. Im recieving an award for my Poetry and have been invited to some symposium in Washington D.C., and would like to dedicate it to Mr. Andrews for telling me to share my poetry with others. Thx.
    Heres some stuff ive written...

    Framework for dreams

    Quarter till nine
    Woke up in a stupor
    Facing the ironic humor
    Of realization long past
    Everything is moving so fast
    I found myself flying
    Experiencing and trying
    Being something I'm not
    This errant thought, it seems all for naught
    Now I'm distraught
    But elation sets in
    supplying framework again
    proving that minds can bend
    for the dream is at an end
    And I woke up for the first time
    Realizing I hadn't woken up at a quarter till nine


    Distraction

    Here comes my serenade
    followed by a grand parade
    Spectacular show of light
    piercing through a comatose night
    I forget to put up a fight
    My lines fade to the right
    or maybe its left
    I cant tell
    I’m blind with a bell, stuck in my personal hell
    I cry the saddest tear
    and wish I wasn’t here.
    Hold me while I dissipate my energy
    distract me
    a wave of your hand
    brings me to a stand
    I’m on demand
    instant music preoccupies
    draining all my whys
    your nonsense stings like a bee
    distracting me
    pursuing as I flee
    Stretching out my arms
    I crash carefully out of all these harms
    I spin my head around
    touch my fingers to the ground
    run to where I cant be found
    I wander through life aimlessly
    hopefully
    so distract me.

    Anyway, if your interested in some more of my poetry I have a nice long Word document with most of it written in it and I can send it to you over AIM or something, so if you want, just AIM me at "TheNanashii" and ill be happy to send my ramblings to anyone.


     
  • "10 times removed, I forget about where it all began." 2002-06-18 23:25:51 I havent updated this thing in a bit, just been slowly losing my mind. Its almost good...
    Well JACON was good and my video got a surprisingly decent reaction from the crowd, I don't expect much from my videos. Thanks EK for the comments about my video and yes DJ Shadow does rock. By the way, my video was that DJ Shadow one with the weird organ music done to Akira with all the strange text at the beginning that no one got. If your interested in seeing it E-mail or AIM me. I can give you a link to it then.

    My car is still running, surprising, 200k miles and a bit of modification done to it, and still runs strong, even while I push it to its limits racing it. Honda engineering, truly, amazing, this car has convinced me that I will try and own a Honda from now on, that it any Honda other than a Civic, I hate Civics with a passion, but Preludes, Integras(Acura, but Honda and Acura are the same company) S2000's, NSX, or V6 Accords are all good.

    Basically I'm just writing in my journal to calm my nerves right now as later tonight i'm going out to race. Normally I don't get nervous for races but when this "friend"(and i use that loosely) of mine said he wanted to race I was kinda taken back by it as his asking me made me very uncomfortable to begin with, which is odd. But he said wednesday morning and he told me the road he wanted to race on...well...this race isnt going to be a drag race, its going to be a cornering race, as I went down to the road he wants to race on yesterday and found out that this road is a very old country road that is very curvy and tight, I love a challenge, but since it has been raining all day today it has me worried about the road condition and the seriousness of driving high speed on shitty road surfaces. I hope he backs out for another day, cuz if he doesnt back out I won't back out, just cuz i don't do that, I have a pride issue where i don't like to be called chicken or scared. I always try to prove my fearlessness, even when something bothers me alot, but I try to push through it with reckless abandon, cuz fear is the mind killer, I force myself into that adrenaline zone cuz if im not there I know i'll screw up and end up killing myself, I know I can drive through this, I know I'm that good, I won't screw up.

    Well, I've been trying to start my next AMV, but I never seem to get around to it, nor have the drive to follow through. Maybe next week sometime, I hope to have about 2 new AMVs ready for AWA, it should be fun.

    Anyway, I think i'm done for this evening, I guess I'll leave you guys with this poem I wrote a few days ago, its called Movements.

    Ive fallen hard
    In the midst of waves
    Tides, washing me clean
    Im happy with not being seen
    Your smile radiates upon me
    I really think you're crazy
    Which makes you more amazing
    Fall back with me
    Be lazy
    Just maybe
    Take a chance
    Enjoy the water-filled starlit dance
    Weightless glance
    Its more than romance
    So crash with a splash
    Careless and rash
    Our bodies clash
    I just don't know anymore
    But you're the one I adore
    Nothing comes before
    Emotions swirl and were washed ashore  
  • "Speed kills, but beauty lives forever, Speed thrills, but beauty knows your name, I fell ill inside eternal winter, And stood still beside eternal flame." 2002-05-10 13:33:00 hmmm...you know, 121 people have downloaded my super-duper stupendous amazing and fantastic artistic piece of work called "What Happened Along The Way". And yet not one single person has left a comment...i would have thought at least someone would have said something stupid about it, but no.
    Oh well, opinions don't matter, that video was just a funny distraction that made me laugh.


    Ganja(spl?)cookies and code red...good mixture or very bad? 
  • "Is it black where you are, havent people changed, does it make you happy or so strange." 2002-05-05 13:31:25 I make stuff you don't wanna watch.
    This is something new from me...http://www.animemusicvideos.org/video.php?v=7805
