No, I didn't misspell "Life". I meant exactly what I wrote up there, and that is to live. Yes I'm back. From the grave? No. From the depths of the Marianas Trench? Fuck that I hate deep sea diving. No like actually though, when I went diving in the Dominican it was beautiful and shit but hella scary. I think I'll stay above ground for now, thank you VERY much my lovely feet for allowing me to do so. Hell, where would I be without them? Probably in a rad ass-wheelchair. I mean, if I had one I'd probably pimp it out with stickers and speakers. Anyways beyond that, how have I been? Read ahead and find out for yourself! So, 15 minutes on the clock. Let's see where this takes us! Too many commas,,,,,,,,,,,this is just DELIRIOUS. Alright so back to the writing. Yup, I DID have my birthday for those of you that didn't know which makes 99% of you or so. I AM THE 1%!! So, how was it? Filled with strippers and cocaine to the BRIM!!! Yeah no, I am NOT on a drug called Charlie Sheen so no need to worry......for now. But I AM drinking pink juice, what it is I don't know exactly. Let's hope it doesn't affect my perception in any way too much. So, birthday right. Yeah I asked for longboard parts for the board I'm building at the moment as well as new earphones for exercising and all those times you just want earphones instead of headphones. (Omg he got earphones AND headphones? What a douche) Yeah ok well let's see you work shirtless in the blazing sun for 5 hours straight for 2 days in August at 11$ an hour WITH headphones, we'll see who drops first. And also, rollerskates cause I'm a disco type guy right? For realz though, always wanted a pair. I'm not talkin' the TOTALLY uncool inline skates that are basically ice skates but on land. I'm talkin' the foot-cars with the break in the FRONT. Breaks in DA FRONT stickers in DA BACK is the plan for now, I'll see how I'll be customizing them when I get them hopefully this Tuesday! I'm hoping to join a roller derby league as well sometime after I learn how to skate, the shop I went to runs a league and the woman said they're looking for some more refs for their games so why not? At least now I'll have a sport other than Volleyball to focus on. Yes, rollerderby is a contact sport. Look it up, watch videos, and yes it's becoming a mens sport right now too. Slowly but surely the popularity is spreading, THANK GOD. Anyways so let's get to it!
So my birthday. Not really as special as I thought it would be. In the sense that when I woke up I didn't get the tingling sensation I usually would when I was young. You know that feeling when you wake up, butterflies isn't even a proper term to describe it, it's like an all body excitement. Your face can't help but grin at the fact that it's YOUR birthday and nothing else. Your legs pick you up and SPRINT onto the kitchen/living room/wherever your presents are and it seems like your hands make it there before you to tear into that oh-so-sweet wrapping paper. The tears sound like perfectly orchestrated and oh-so fitting anthem to this glorious day. 1 after the other your reactions grow in excitement as the boxes get better and better. Well that's not the feeling I got that day, but don't fret because what I got was even better: a loving family. I woke up, hugged and kissed everyone with feeling. Because when you're young, you don't understand the importance of family as much as you may now when you actually need them for emotional support. A hug in grade 8 is simply an excuse to chest touch someone, only as you grow does it become a part of an emotional ritual whatever that may be. Yes, hugs were just an excuse for us guys to feel your slowly developing boobs on our chest and for the daring your bums. What do you expect from a hormone crazed 13 year old? No, I did not partake in such activities as I had my own bum and chest to touch. Anyways. When I got down from my MOTHAFUCKIN' bunkbed (I swear some of us are born and stay as kids for the rest of our lives) I did the whole meet and greet with the 'rents, hugs and kisses exchanged and I opened a couple of my presents. But what got me more than anything that day, was the card they gave me. Every year I get birthday cards it's not that big of a deal, or so I thought. When you're young you really haven't accomplished anything at that point in your life other than acing a spelling test (Yeah that's right, you're looking at the grade 3 spelling champ. BOW DOWN IN ALL MY GLORY OF 20/20 SHEETS OF SPELLING MIGHTYNESS) Yeah sure, you maybe drew something nice or aced a test but that's all you really have, the bare essentials. And as you grow you try new things, new hobbies, talents, etc. Then you start expanding in certain areas of your life and before you know it you've accomplished something meaningful! Well some of the time you aren't recognized, and that doesn't really matter for a LONG time. But eventually you just wish someone would criticize or say something about the work you've done, just any source of recognition will do. And if you happen to do A LOT of hobbies/interests that involve that kind of mindset it just all adds up. Waking up on Birthday morning and seeing a card that says "We are proud of the man that you have become" just brought a tear to my eye. Because I could safely look back and not only be certain that I've had NO regrets and I am proud of where I am today, but so is my family. And to me, that's all I needed. Don't need no cake (but I wouldn't mind diabetes in another form, send me cupcakes pls), no birthday hats (sorry, I mean PIMP hats because I had this one that said "it's a boy!" just in case my mom confused me for a girl, cause clearly that happens A LOT), don't need a lot of presents cause the recognition was one of the BEST presents I've ever gotten. The day progressed, A LOT of League of Legends was played. I'm getting back into it but safely. I don't play when I'm mad or sad because then I'll just take it out on my fellow players that don't deserve it. And if I DO play then I aim to win and commentate as I do because I'm trying to improve my playing overall and so far it's working! So nearing the evening we went Go-Karting! Yeah we drove out on the outskirts of Southern Toronto and found this great spot for Go-Karting. For 28 laps or so I raced like a MANIAC. You bet your sweet ass I drifted down that track like a MAD MOTHAFUCKA. If Need For Speed has taught me anything it's that there is no such thing as "boring" driving, cause it's ALWAYS gotta be exciting. How in the world are they gonna let me take my G1? Anyways. So yeah, and to end off the day I bought some fireworks and shot them off at the NT Field which was fun as hell. Just sat there with the latest Snoop Lion album playing over and over again and some cheap fireworks. What's better than that? A 3 DAY WEEKEND THAT'S WHAT!!! My birthday resides on a 3 day weekend which I count as Earth's present to me. How sick is that? I get a present from Jolly Old England EVERY year, pretty sweet if you ask me. And so, that was my birthday! Not long enough? Copy and paste and make the font size 72, print out and have fun.
So what else do I have to write about? My new upcoming album? Sure why not. So yeah I'm still working on it and recently I discovered a way to record at home which is what I'll be doing by the end of June when I will no longer have access to the Auditorium until next year. It'll be done by most likely mid July. By done I mean I'll already have ready copies burned on CD's with a custom design as well as CD cases with those nifty covers. Yes I do have an album cover I just need to edit it a bit, add some fancy font, some names, etc. If you would like me to reserve you a copy please let me know and I'll write your lovely name down and even ship it to you if you like! Or we could meet over coffee and discuss it? Whatever you like best, let me know at mlofichenko@gmail.com The album is going to have 7-8 songs I believe. Although it may not be as much as other albums you see these days, I think it's pretty good for a teen. Considering that I'm doing this ALL on my own and that the songs encompass a lot of the themes that I wanted to cover. Maybe I'll add in an extra song or two or take away some. Will I have a second one? Depends on how much you guys like the first one and how much fun I will have had by the end of the experience. But at this point, it's been a great deal of fun. I've just had to take A LOT of breaks in between recording sessions because of upcoming exams and whatnot. Also, this may be the last post until the 21st of June which is when exams end for me so don't expect anything until then. If I do post something, treasure it like your painless feeling in the skin of your elbow (go ahead and pinch that as HARD as you can, no pain see?) because I'll be working hard to get that post up if it does go up! Will I have new lyrics to post today? OF COURSE. Here you go:
Chorus:
We are our limitations, slowing down the creation
Opportunity it's you and me, masters of obligation
Now hold my hand and sing with me as I manifest frustration
The goals I seek are far too peaked, my battle cry to the nation
Our future unlike most beliefs is very unpredictable
The twists and turns that we all yearn for are unbelievable
We all want this, we all want that we can't make up our minds sometimes
The message lies between the lines that I create within my rhymes
We see our limitations, within our expectations
The mass of opinionated selfs is really a degradation
That holds us back from our attack upon our inhibitions
Our moves we make the time we take so that we complete the mission
The teens these days not know what they say and the effects it has on others
And the words that hold weight are much to freyed because they don't even bother
To sit down co-operate and listen to each other
Not judge, criticize, and fight until there are no brothers
And sisters, humanity won't ever change
As I spit rhymes into my mic no matter how fast, the world stays strange
Slow, crazy, mysterious, odd, unknown, delirious
This life is life, the Earth our home, and we remain carniverous
True balance never existed, the odds are always different
The continues nature of faith is everchanging
Can't live your life with a set of rules because they'll need some breaking
No constants, guidelines, facts as we are making
Some-thing, out of our meticulous lives
You can't expect to be someone if you don't open up your eyes
And push yourself beyond what you see as limitations
Because the greatest of the great adopted this tradition
Chorus X2
But don't listen to me fi what I say doesn't make sense
I don't see why you should waste your time at my own expense
My words hold weight, unbeknownst their fate, beneath originiality
It's you and you, and you and me, affected by rationality
That's all I have for now, I'll be adding 4-5 more verses but this is a work in progress!!! So anyways, that's a LONG ass-post (I like to hyphenate ass with anything arbitrary to the sentence for fun, get used to it). And you guys need to go sleep, late start tomorrow and so I'm gonna go read and NOT work on my English summative due Tuesday!!! Because I can do that tomorrow, besides I'm half done! SO I'll leave you with that, I may or may not change the soundtracks on the right, depends on my mood ring (yeah THAT'S RIGHT, I WEAR ONE OF THOSE NOW. How cool am I? Don't answer, I know I'm a 10/1 anyways) :* <3
Cheers, MarkL
EDIT: Oh shit forgot to add this part in. If I left this out the title wouldn't make sense. Look, y'all need to learn how to live. And no I don't mean drinking coffee when you need to go sleep. Or saying "hi" to a stranger. That's common stuff that isn't really THAT special, at least by my standards. I mean think about it, a simple conversation isn't "living". What I mean is getting a rush of adrenaline after you do something you KNOW you shouldn't have. Go jump that fence. Go post that print. Go stir shit up. LIVE. Until you look back and say "damn, that shit was FUN" you haven't lived. And not only that. I just see too many posters that say "Live your life, you've only got one" and with such sentimental sayings, it's just been dummed down over time. A LOT of you just sit there and ignore that message, meh whatever right? I AM living my life by riskily jumping over that puddle right? Please for the love of God do something dangerous and stupid, then walk out and think "Hmmm now was that fun or WHAT?!" Maybe it's just me and I have this kind of mindset right now, but personally I don't want to look back on my teen years and think "DAMN, what a GREAT student I was. Got SO much studying done in my room all by myself.......yeaaaaah that was fun." Like I said before, maybe that's just me but I want more out of this life. I want to be able to wakeup and walk by the spot where I did some crazy shit last night or a couple months ago and say "Dayumn son, good job. Keep at it." The point of this isn't to inspire you to go bunjee jumping or start a drug ring. The point of this is to simply get you thinking. Idc about what, just get you thinking and see where it takes you.
