I am dashing.



And you guys totally thought I was so straight-edge. Some of you will believe anything.

You know what they say "Gouda is good-ah, but Cheddar is better!"
They also say "Candy is dandy, but Liquor is quicker!"
But you know what is worse?
Poison ivy all over my face.

A Quick Peek into the Inner Workings of Adam Fiske's Mind

- Hey, what's up? I'm sitting here listening to some old Odd Project and damn I can't wait for the new CD.
- So, I was at work today, and I got two songs stuck in my head. You know what they were? Bananaphone by Raffi and The Blazing Saddles theme by Frankie Laine.
- So I saw Spiderman 2 finally, after at least three failed attempts. I liked that movie a lot. There was this scene with Doctor Octopus on the operating table that was fucking orgasmic. That's all I'm going to say. Oh yeah, Bruce Campbell is in the movie too, and he totally defeats Spiderman. The movie made me totally happy.
- That reminds me, I have to give John a call, brb. Aw, he wasn't there so I left a message. You see, our guitars are in the shop and we need to pick them up.
- Party Till You Puke, btw.
- Oh man, also I went to the circus with Danielle, and the circus is great. They have the best live music ever. I don't like animals at the circus, though. Also, clowns have the best job ever, because they get paid to be jerks. I wish I could get paid to be a jerk, but not have to be a clown.
- Blind Guardian says they won't be coming out with an album until 2006, but they will be releasing an orchestral project with just Hansi singing and an orchestra in the next 12 months.
- Sonata Arctica is finished recording their album and it will be out in September. Also, Symphony X is in the studio right now, and John Romero mentioned that the new album will be even heavier than the last. That's not too cool, because one of the main reasons I love them is because of their orchestration, a la V: The New Mythology and The Odessey (song).
- I'm going to go see I, Robot sometime soon, and we're all going to dress up as Jeff Goldblum from different movies. This is because Jeff Goldblum was in Independence Day with Will Smith, who happens to be in I, Robot. I'm probably going to go as Independence Day Jeff Goldblum, because I have flannel shirts, but I'd rather go as Buckaroo Banzai Jeff Goldblum because he has a cooler costume. Josh is going to be Jurassic Park Jeff Goldblum.
- **RADIOEDIT**
- **RADIOEDIT**
- Danielle has far too many friends, and I'm jealous.
- Thomas Dolby is Hyperactive!
- I wear my sunglasses at night.
- Today at work, there was a tournament, and there were so many cars there, we ran out of parking places, and then I got to leave early.

The Ballad of a Broken Heart, Part II

I've written you so many songs, all heartfelt works of art
But these are the words that spilled out when you broke my heart
I bought you roses you never saw. Forgotten, they died alone
An ominous allusion to what we would become

In this play, this scene, this life's lost love someone forgot their lines
I missed my cue to say I love you for the hundredth time

You were my Wendy Darling and I was Peter Pan
You were supposed to take me away from Neverland
A thimble was not enough to show what you meant to me
But it is all I gave to you, and for that I am sorry

In this life, this love, this movie, this film without a name
I missed my cue to say I love you, some things just never change
One thousand burning candles illuminate our stage
But my lines are hard to read, with tears along the page.

I will always love you, no matter what I say
And I will think about you almost every single day
You know that place between sleep and awake, where you can remember dreaming?
That's where I'll always love you, that's where I'll be waiting.

And now we're back to normal. Here's some more lyrics I wrote for a song I wrote. Everyone liked the song. It got four stars. Yes, out of four. One guy didn't like the lyrics, though, because it was a metal song. But another guy said the lyrics were great. Go figure.

Footprints
Trying to sleep alone is hard, I have nowhere to rest my head. And now in all my dreams it always seems like I'm running away from you. Your footprints in the snow again, but you are nowhere to be found. And when I follow them it always seems like you're running away from me. This love will never be. Coincedence is keeping us apart, and it's driving me insane. Whenever I miss the chance to see you, I always take the blame. How can I go to sleep without you? I cannot live without your love. The taste of your sweet lips on mine, the look in your innocent eyes; memories keeping our love alive remaining always with me. This love will never be.
