Calvin and Hobbes

One day many years ago I got into an elevator. Went up a few floors, the doors opened and one of the biggest White dudes I've ever seen steps in. He was tatted up to the neck and down to his fingertips, had a shaved head, and a scar behind one of his ears that was evidence of some damage he took somewhere along the line...

I looked up at this cat and nodded, grateful that I had my folding knife on my belt but knowing that it wasn't gonna do me much good if this

A Being that Might Be

I have to much time to think

so many ideas that form and fester

realized and unrealized

schemes and dreams

those that manifest are minimal

most subside into seas subliminal

lost

washing ashore in obscure waves

gasping for relevance

most of my desires are delicate

deadpan and decidedly not decadent

ephermal is this earthly essence

fleeting is enegy's effervescence

am I present?

or lingering somewh

An explanation on the concept of "D.I.Y. or die (anthem)"....

Being that we're indie artists, we've always lived by the Do-It-Yourself motto. We came into the industry with no name, just a dream and a plan. Already knowing the odds were against us, no one was handing us anything, so we decided to take our destiny into our own hands. The song is an anthem to any and everyb
