You know that feeling you get when you sit in a chair and you lean back and you lean back a little to far and almost fall over but you catch yourself just in time? I feel like that, all the time.

 

Hi there, my name is Travis. I've been on Spogg (previously under 12BrokenStones) since August 2005. I'm always around, and am good at helping people. So if there's something on your mind, stop by my guestbook or send me a message. I'm in Babble every once in a while, and the only game I really like playing is Spogglitaire (when I'm THAT bored). Have a good one!

 

I have an American Bulldog, and a .308. That's my life in a nutshell.

 

Very few people can be totally ruthless.

It takes more strength than one can imagine...

 

I will die when there are ashes from this world in my lungs.

 

Quotes from Marine General James Mattis-

I come in peace, I didn't bring artillery.

But I am pleading with you with tears in my eyes:

If you f*ck with me, I'll kill you all. 

 

For the mission's sake, for our country's sake, and the sake of the men who carried the Division's colors in past battles "who fought for life and never lost their nerve" carry out your mission and keep your honor clean. Demonstrate to the world there is No Better Friend No Worse Enemy than a US Marine.

 

Be polite, be professional, but have a plan to kill everybody you meet.

 

Watch your thoughts; they become words.
Watch your words; they become actions.
Watch your actions; they become habits.
Watch your habits; they become character.
Watch your character; it becomes your destiny.

 

This time I'ma let it all come out.

This time I'ma stand up and shout.

I'ma do things my way, it's my way.

My way or the highway.

 

I was told that life is beautiful.

Well I'm not lookin through those eyes.

Wished upon a star and watched it fall away.

Well that's just one more thing that could never be forever.

Everything I touch turns to the opposite of gold.

It could be sh*t it could be coal, that's just the way it goes.

Do I lead them astray, do I push them all away?

Don't know whether I should kill or cry.

Don't know if I should live or die.

Should I stand or walk away?

Don't know whether I should be myself or change,

Hold my ground or rearrange.

Should I stand or walk away?

 

Cause youre my Mississippi Princess, youre my California Queen,
Like the Duchess of Detroit and every city in between.
You can slap me in the face, you can scream profanity,
Leave me here to die alone but Ill still follow you home.

 

It's too bad, it's too bad 

Too late, so wrong, so long 
It's too bad that we had no time to rewind 
Let's walk, let's talk.

 

Wish I was too dead to care,

If indeed I cared at all.

Never had a voice to protest,

So you fed me to shit to digest.

I wish I had a reason,

My flaws are open season.

For this I gave up trying,

One good turn deserves my dying.

 

I'm looking at you through the glass,

Don't know much time has passed.

Oh God it feels like forever,

But no one ever tells you that forever feels like home,

Sitting all alone inside your head.

 

You said I had something to say,
Then you got that look in your eye.
There is something youve got to know,
You said it as you started to cry.

 

She said "Don't leave this up to me to say that I don't love you anyway"
Just leave it up to me to say goodbye
Because these good times will never last
Keep a hand on the wheel and a foot on the gas
We thought it would last forever
I wish you'd just remember

No! Will anything change your mind?
She said A one way ticket was a pretty good sign
I said Well how can you leave it all?
She said There ain't much to leave behind

 

I don't care about anyone, you know that I'm better off.

I don't care about anyone, you know that I'm better off...

Cause livin' with you is like a hole in the head.

 

I'm on the outside, I'm lookin in.

I can see through you, see your true clolors.

Cause inside you're ugly, ugly like me.

I can see through you, see to the real you.

 

Make up your mind, and I'll make up mine.

Don't worry about me, I'll be fine.

Those words you said to me, why wasn't I listening?

I wish I hadn't met you at all, I started thinking,

I'll sit back, and relax, and wait for the morning.

 

I paid my last respects this morning on an early grave.

Already said goodbye, nothing left to say.

A tiny church, a tiny town, and not a tear was spent.

Not how I wanted it, I'm hating all of this.

 

Load up on guns, and bring your friends.

It's fun to lose and to pretend.

She's over-bored and self assured,

Oh no, I know a dirty word.

 

She wouldn't spit on me if I was on fire,

She says she loves me but I know she's a liar.

I bet she's wonderin if I'm worth her while,

She's judge and jury and she's got me on trial.

 

I know my enemy, and I can't forget his name.

Distant memories of a man that just couldn't change.

And thought I've tried to set it aside, I still carry them today.

When I look into the mirror, I can still see his face.

 

A little bit of sunshine, a little bit of booze.

A little bit of me, and a little bit of you.

A little bit of country, a little bit of blues.

A slice of heaven, and a little piece of you.

 

Hello lonely, how you doin today?

Hello sweet thing, why don't you walk this way.

Hello you again. How could you go and be so cold?

She said "Goodbye sad man, cause all this pain is getting old".

 

So clever, whatever, I'm done with these endeavors.

Alone I walk the winding way.

It's over, no longer, I feel it growing stronger.

I live to die another day, until I fade away.

Why give up, why give in

It's not enough, it never is.

So I go on until the end.

 

Keep you in the dark, you know they all pretend.

Keep you in the dark, and so it all began.

Send in your skeletons, sing as their bones go marchin in again.

They need you buried deep, the secrets that you keep are ever ready.

Are you ready?

 

So what, you cleaned your act up so far.

So what if I'm pissin into the wind again.

Have you ever thought that I'm not who you are?

Cause even when I lose, I know how to win again and again.

So sick of you preaching all the time.

Just keep your shitty advice inside.

Cause I walk dead or alive.

I waste my time whenever I like.

 

Never seen it comin, it just hits you by surprise.

It's that cold place in your soul, and the fire in her eyes.

That makes you come together like wild horses when they run,

Now the cards are on the table, and the bullet's in the gun.

 

Worked all week, cleaned up clean cut and clean shaved,

I got the cover off the '68. I fired it up and let them horses sang.

A little pretty thing, a little tan leg Georgia dream,

She's rockin them holy jeans. Baby whatcha got goin on Saturday.

 

Aww baby you can find me in the back of a jacked up tail gate,

Sittin round watchin all of these pretty things get down in that Georgia clay.

And I'll find peace, at the bottom of a real tall cold drink,

Chillin with some Skynyrd and some old Hank, let's get this thing started, it's my kinda party.

 

Like a gift from the heavens, it was easy to tell.

It was love from above, that could save me from hell.

She had fire in her soul, it was easy to see

How the devil himself could be pulled out of me.

There were drums in the air as she started to dance,

Every soul in the room keeping time with their hands.

 

Just call my name, you'll be okay.

 

What a shame, what a shame to judge a life that you can't change.

The quiet scenes, the church bells ring, so won't you give this man his wings.

What a shame to have to beg you to see we're not all the same. 

 

And they say that a hero could save us, I'm not gonna stand here and wait.

I'll hold onto the wings of the eagles, watch as we all fly away.

Now that the world isn't ending, it's love that I'm sending to you.

It isn't the love of a hero, and that's why I fear it won't do.

 

Where I come from isn't all that great, my automobile is a piece of crap.

My fashion sense is a little whack and all my friends are just as screwey as me.

I didn't go to boarding school, preppy chicks never looked at me.

Why should they, I ain't
