Brother Where Art Thou?

4/19/2017

Stuck In This Labyrinth,
You Tear At The Walls,
You Sneak In A Laugh,
I Hear Through The Halls,
So Cry Again, Doctor,
My Games Begin.

Ready Or Not I'm Coming,
Tell The Others To Hide,
Much Are Broken Inside,
Here Begins The Drumming.

So I'll Tease You With A Song,
Let Me See Your Face,
What A Charade,
Silver Skin, Play Along,
But Respect Your Place.

Pathetic Flea,
Scream Like A Banshee!

"The Truth Is A Big Man,"
Remember That, Lad,
But Do Not Waste Your Time,
Oh Wait,
Time Is All You Have.
Ha Ha Ha,
Here I Am!

What's That? A Little Taste?
Will I Comply?
What Makes You Think I Will?
What A Waste!
Retry.
Tough Guy.

Run, Doctor, Run,
But Nowhere To Hide!
Ha, You Dick-Bag, Bastard Man!
You Are Done!
Consumed By Your Pride!
And Now You Remain Stuck In This Can!

This Is What Happens,
A Flea Challenging A King,
You Cannot Be Part Of The Three,
Nice Try, I'll Be Clapping,
Your Poor Attempt, Missed Your Swing,
No Longer Keeper Of Keys!

One To See, Two To Smell, Three To Hear, Four To Touch, Five To Feel.
This Is How I Deal.

Not To Flee, To Stay Well, Lest I Disappear, Is This Too Much, My Achilles Heel?
Change I Cannot Foresee, I'll Build My Citadel, Whisper In Your Ear, Are You My Crutch, Stick To Our Deal.

Do You Disagree, When I Ring Your Doorbell, Am I Sincere, Will You Misjudge, When I Kill,
Like Wildfire Spread Free, Combustion In A Nutshell, The World Will Cheer, In A Stifling Smoke, Smudge.

A Hundred Degrees, Charred Smoke Smell, A Deep Cut Severe, Soft Touch, A Cold Metal, Steel.

One To See, Two To Smell, Three To Hear, Four To Touch, Five To Feel.
Am I Dreaming, Am I Stuck, In My Room Screaming, A Sitting Duck,
I'll Sit Scheming, In The Storm Thunderstruck, Soon Intervening, I'll Run Amok.

These are the chains that bind.
* The Purple Ring: It used to be clear, then I painted it purple, but do not let the color mistake it's true form, for when you turn the ring, it lights up red. A diamond; strong, firm, a weapon.
* The Spider-Man Face: A hero, my role model. Nuff said.
* Cap's Shield: Vibranium, one of the strongest metals in the Marvel universe. A weapon, a defense, a symbol.
* Mjolnir: Thor's hammer; immense power, another weapon and defense. Although not indestructible, it has a variety of powers; tracking, absorbing energy, and as a mystical object, only those worthy of its power will be able to wield it.
* Punisher Key/Bottle Opener: Given to me as a gift, made with the purpose of being a limited item. Purposeful, with a heavy metal vibe that carries on the character of Frank Castle.
* Spidey Voodoo Doll + Spidey Head + Venom: The idea of voodoo dolls have always creeped the hell outta me, but to have a Spidey one, well, it offers comfort more than anything. Especially when paired up with a Venom Funko Pop! doll by its side. A symbiotic relationship; a hero and archenemy, often pairing up in difficult circumstances.
* Xenomorph Doll: Alien. Who remembers that which bumped in the night? In space! Hahaha; those acid-spitting, tail-piercing, mouth-inside-mouth rattling bastards gave me nightmares when I was younger, but they are the ONLY acceptable alien I will allow in my life. The other X-Files googly-eyed creepers...no friggin' way. I much rather be dealing with a Xenomorph than ever have to deal with an abduction by those black-eyed bastards.
*Centro Cultural Metropolitano de Quito key-chain: Quito, my city of birth. I always try to carry a piece of my country, my culture, even if it is a small thing. A city that made me love rain, a city whose loud noises put me to sleep, a city whose beautiful architecture and culture I can never forget. Too many memories, not enough paper to write them down on.
* Batman Bottle Opener: it also has a Philips screwdriver and a Flathead on each end of the batwing. An important tool to use in certain cases, just as Batman uses it as an important gadget. Sturdy and reliable.
* Joker Key-chain: it is now missing it's lower half of its body, due to unforeseen circumstances, but with Batman paraphernalia there has to be a Joker one too. The antithesis to Batman's heroism.
* 9 MM Luger - One Bullet/Mini Punisher: I used to have a Punisher the size of the Xenomorph in this key-ring, but he fell off a while back. The small Punisher did not. I paired the single bullet with him because of the symbolism they share: One bullet was never enough for Frank Castle to avenge his family's death; and it never will be. But one bullet would be all that is needed to stop him from continuing his mission, after all, he is not indestructible. He is simply a hard man to kill.
* Deadpool Key-chain: an insane hero, who would have thought an idea to create a mockery of a DC character would actually work out to its benefit and become one of Marvel's most popular characters? Not looking at you Deathstroke... the pun is in there somewhere. The one thing I like the most about Deadpool is that despite him being absolutely crazy-town-banana-pants, is that he is fully aware he is a comic book character.
* Forever Spin key-chain: if you go to foreverspin.com you will see that this key-chain ties to the spinning tops I own. It was a complimentary gift, but to me, it is part of the balance of the Artifacts.
* Spidey Logo: I think this one does not need an explanation, except, that this was actually tied to the Spidey head, and now as it fell apart, I chose to add it to the Artifacts in my left pocket. It belongs as it almost could pass as a coin.
* Fancy Skeleton lighter: when I first laid eyes on it, I knew I had to buy it. The antlers remind me of Hannibal, and the top hat and fancy attire reminds me of that other side of me few understand. It also balances my Constantine lighter.
* Lucifer Morningstar coin: as seen on the TV show, this is the coin Lucifer has on his person at all times. His very own artifact.
*The Green Handkerchief: I cannot recall if I ever spoke about this one, but it is also part of the Artifacts, for I always carry it with me, even if I never really truly use it. The green is my favorite color, the groove and waves pattern is what attracted me to it before the color ever did, but they go hand in hand.

Some of these go together and are equally divided amongst the carabiners. Then they hang from my left and right hip.

Balanced.

And are part of who I am. And I am part of what they are.

Artifacts 3.0

10/12/2016

I Wrote My Earlier Piece On The Things I Carried; These Are The Things That Carry Me.

Six Bottles: Enough To Cover A Week Of Drinking.

No, I Am Not Speaking About Alcohol. I Have Not Touched That Sweet Taste In Years.

I Have Replaced One Monster For Another, However As It Seems.

Sometimes, I Mix Them.

Monster and Red Bull.

Nothing Can Taste As Delicious And Feel As Appetizing As It.

Not Water. Not Juice. Not Any Soft Drink.

This Is What Happens When You Get Your Body Used To A Pattern. To Something You Never Stop Doing.

Tolerance.

Addiction.

Choose Your Word.

Either Way, I Always Carry My Bottles With Me, And In Exchange, They Carry Me.

They Say If You Convince Yourself Of Something, Pretty Soon You Will Start Believing It.

Am I Able To Function Through The Day Only Because Of How Many Drinks I Have In My System?

Maybe.

Have I Tried Quitting?

Yes.

Can I?

Probably.

Do I Want To?

No.

Because This, This Keeps Me Happy. So Why Would I Want To Stop Being Happy?

No, That Will Not Do.

The Bottles:
* Eat The Rude: Angel Language Decorates This White Jug; The Drawings Appeal To The Joker/Batman Relationship And The Hannibal/Will Graham Relationship. Both Hero and Villain, And Yet, Are Equally Matched. Equally Dependable To Each Other. Without Light, There Can Be No Darkness. Without Darkness, There Can Be No light. The Stag and The Clown Prince Of Crime. A *Z* Decorates the Cap, While The Bottom Is Decorated By The John Constantine Tattoo Symbol: "Into The Light, I Command Thee."
* Deadpool Bottle: Antihero. Psychopath. Fully Aware Of Everything. A Contradictory Figure To Heroes Vs. Villains. Immortal.
* Venom Bottle: Alien Symbiote. The Hunger. The Need. The Rush. Symbiotic Relationship Between Host and Creature. Needing The Host To Survive. Helping The Host.
* Suicide Squad Bottle: A Team. A Dysfunctional Family. Heroes In the Eyes Of Some. Villains In The Eyes Of Others. Expendable.
* Gears Of War/Bioshock Bottle: On One Side: "No Gods Or Kings, Only Man." Bioshock - A Tale Of A Dream Gone Wrong, A Nobody Becoming A Hero, A Cure Becoming A Disease, And Power In The Wrong Hands. On The Other Side: "Hope Runs Deep. Brothers To The End." Gears of War - A Tale Of War, Hope, Strength In Numbers, Loss, Death, But Most Of All - Family.
* The Purple Bottle: Big, Metallic, A Bottle, A Thermos, A Cup. Yet To Be Fully Painted - A Work In Progress.

All Part Of Who I Am.

All, Like My Artifacts and Accessories, And My Chapters: All Are Family.

All Complete Me.

Artifacts 2.0

10/11/2016

We All Carry That Which Completes Us.
Artifacts, Even As Small As A Lucky Penny. Perhaps We Do Not Realize It Until Someone Points That Out To Us. I Wrote An Earlier Piece About Them.
Allow Me To Re-Introduce You To My Dear Artifacts.
And The Newest Additions To My Collection.

Without These, I Am Not Complete.
I Am Not Perfection.

Left Pocket
I Used To Carry Three Lucky Dice, One Got Lost At Work, So I Needed To Find A Replacement. Why Three, You Ask? I Believe As Any Book, Stories Are Always Told In Threes. Beginning, Middle, End.
The Only Difference Now, Is That One Die Is Kept In My Left Pocket, While The Other In My Right.

* Die #1 Represents Lady Luck. Sometimes You Are Dealt A Good Hand, Sometimes, You Are Not. Sometimes All You Can Do Is Roll The Die And Hope That Luck Is On Your Side.
* A Wooden Top Represents The Dream, The State of Consciousness In Which As Depicted In The Film Inception, One Is Either Dreaming Or Awake. What Is Real And What Is Not? Sometimes One Can Look At The Clock And Realize How Slow Time Is Going, Almost As If The Top Is Spinning Forever! Ha Ha Ha! But I Have Two Tops. One Is Wood, The Other Is Metal. The Wooden One Is A Gift From Father. Refer To The Post "Warm Wood & Cold Metal" For More.
* Lucky 38/200 Is A Poker Chip, Which Brings Us Back To Lady Luck! That Sly Woman, But Do Not Think For A Second I Dislike Her, No No No, I Praise Her, I Look Up To Her. Which Then, Sometimes, One Must Bow To Her, One Must Conquer For Her.
* The Bonds Of Love Is A Coin Representing The Chains That Bind. On One Side, A Man With Chains Cuffed To His Wrists, The Chain Falling To The Ground Below Him, Reaching Across To The Other Side, In Which There Is A Woman, Also With Chains On Her Wrists. Love Can Be The Best Thing, And Sometimes, It Can Be A Prison. Careful Who You Let In.
* The Hercules Key That Resembles A Sword, It Allows The Wearer To Become Three Times As Strong. I Believe That Deep Inside Us, Even At Our Weakest Moments, We Are All Capable Of Reaching Within And Pulling Out Our Greatest Strength. We Can Overcome The Unthinkable If We Put Our Minds To It.
* The Green Camouflage Knife Goes In The Left Back Pocket. Protection. Always Offering Protection. But More So, A Tool To Get Out Of A Sticky Situation. The Design, Almost Like Brass Knuckles. The Blade Is Hidden, But Also Seen Through The Holes. A Mask.
* The Constantine Lighter With Engravings In Latin "Fiat Justitia, Et Pereat Mundus" Meaning "Let Justice Be Done, Though The World Perish." Always Allow Good To Triumph Over Evil, Lest The World End. No Matter The Consequences.

Right Pocket
There Has To Be A Balance, So For Every Artifact From The Left, One Belongs To The Right, Respectively.

* Die #2 Represents Lady Luck, Lest We Forget Her. Sometimes You Are Dealt A Good Hand, Sometimes, You Are Not. Sometimes All You Can Do Is Roll The Die And Hope That Luck Is On Your Side.
* A Metal Top Represents The State of Consciousness, The Dream In Which As Depicted In The Film Inception, One Is Either Awake Or Dreaming. What Is Fake and What Is Real? Sometimes One Can Look At The Clock And Realize How Fast Time Is Going, Almost As If The Top Has Stopped Spinning And You Did Not Realize It! Ha Ha Ha! But I Have Two Tops. One Is Metal, The Other Is Wood. The Metal One Is A Gift From Myself. Refer To The Post "Warm Wood & Cold Metal" For More.
* The Anti-Possession Coin With That Protection Symbol On One Side, And With The Devil's Trap On The Flip Side. For Not Only Is It Important To Protect Oneself From Evil, But Also To Learn To Banish It, By Trapping It, If Necessary.
* The Constants And Variables Coin In Which For Every Life, There Is Also An Alternate Reality. Do You Believe That Certain Choices Have Brought You To The Specific Point Where You Find Yourself In? Do You Believe If You Have Done Things Differently, Perhaps You Would Find Yourself In Another Place? On One Side Of The Coin: "Lives, Lived, Will Live." With The Face Of A Man. On The Other Side: "Dies, Died, Will Die." With The Face Of A Woman. Certain Things Are Predetermined, On The Other Hand, There Are Variables. Constants. Variables. Very Important Things.
* The Omega Key Is That Which Opens The Black Door, Then Indeed, It Shall Close It As Well. The Omega Key, As Taken From The Comic Book "Locke And Key" Is The First Key To Be Crafted And The Black Door Is A Gateway To Another World. But Power Like So Always Comes With A Price. This Is Important. And So The Omega Key Is So Powerful That It Must Be Hidden Forever.
* The Black Knife Goes In The Right Back Pocket, It Might Look Petty In Its Small Size, But It Packs A Punch, As Its Serrated Edge Can Come In Handy. Never Underestimate. Never Mock What Seems Weak, For It Is Never As It Seems.
* The Pocket Watch Is A Reminder Of Time. Timing Is Everything, And It Can Be Controlled Or Completely Out Of Control. Timing Can Change The Very Moment In Which A Plan Either Is Met Through Or It Fails. Timing Has Never Been On My Side. Timing Has Always Been Proven Difficult To Tame. Time Is A Difficult Creature.

We All Carry That Which Completes Us. Accessories, Even As A Ring, Perhaps We Do Not Realize It Until Someone Points That Out To Us. Allow Me To Introduce You To My Dear Accessories, Becoming Part Of Me, Like Appendages.

Without Them, I Am Incomplete.
Bare.

I Always Wear A Watch. I Have A Hard Time With Time Itself Already, As You Have Read Above, Now Imagine Being Unable To Tell Time.
Imagine Running Around On A Schedule, Without The Ability To Tell If You Are, Indeed, On Schedule.
I Used To Spoil Myself With Watches. I Had To Get Rid Of A Lot Of Them.
Necessary Sacrifices.

I Always Wear Rings. Even If It Is Just One. And Usually, The Only One Wore Is Dean's Ring Replica He Wears On The Right Ring Finger. I Prefer To Switch It Up From Time To Time, However, Both Hands Must Always Remain Balanced. I Usually Will Wear Three Rings In Each Hand. You Can See Those Three In The Picture Above, The Ones That Are Together--On The Left Middle and Right Middle Side.

I Always Wear Dean's Amulet. There Was A Time When A Cross Hung Around My Neck, That Time Is Gone. As My Faith Declined, So Did The Power I Felt The Cross Had. So Instead, I Have The Amulet--A Symbol Of Family.

Dean's Skulls Bracelet And Elephant Hair Bracelet. By Now I Hope You Understand Why Supernatural, or Dean, In General, Is Important. If Not, Feel Free To Refer To The Posts "Dean Winchester" And The Like.

Relationship Goals: Harley & Joker. The King And Queen. An Armband That Represents My Most Important Chapter. Refer To The Post "Temptress" And "The Queen" If You Need Further Explanation.

Supernatural "Bitch" Bracelet. To Go Off Dean's And Sam's "Bitch/Jerk" Running Joke Throughout The Series; Again, If You Do Not Realize The Importance Of That Show In My Life, Perhaps Read More On This Website. Another Important Chapter Wears The "Jerk" Bracelet. Enough Said.

Pura Vida Bracelet. Pura Vida Means Pure Life, A Philosophy Of Living Life To The Fullest And Cherishing The Small Treasures Life Brings. This Was A Gift From An Important Chapter In My Life. I Did Not Know Its Meaning Until I Researched, And I Always Wear It Because It Is A Strong Philosophy. Sometimes, One Blink And You Miss Those Moments. Other Times, You Let Those Moments Pass You By Because You Do Not Take Action.

The Importance With Bracelets As My Artifacts, They Are Always Balanced.
Left Arm. Right Arm.
Balance.
In Chaos.
Always.

THUNDER

9/14/2016

Thunderous Passion
The Sweet Taste of Rage
Much More Than Distraction
Just Spilling Out of The Cage

Old Ghosts Revisit
A Time Passed & Flawed
Take A Minute And Listen
I Am Your God

Smoke & Fire
Screaming Pain
Spreads Like Wildfire
Not Humane, But Mundane

It Paints Your Name
In Pale White And Rain
So Go Ahead And Exclaim
I'll Try And Restrain

Pierce The Earth
Burn The Land
Missed My Rebirth
Your Return, Unplanned

But If You Allow Me To See You
You Will Know
How Deep I Cut Through
Leave You Paler Than Snow.

Everything You Touch

8/15/2016

I'm Not Paying For Your Crimes,
Do Not Expect Me to Do The Time,
You Kid Yourself and Say You're Fine,
But Those Who Care Are Friends of Mine.

You Expect The Two Of Us To Remain,
Like In the Garden so was Able and Cain,
But We Both Know How That Ends,
Who Are You Kidding, We Were Never Friends.

You Recruit and Try to Corrupt Them,
To Choose A Side, To Fight.
Like a Tree Supported By Stems,
But You Forget, I'll Always Burn Bright.

You Plan for A Future, But Forget the Past,
I Buried You Once, You Aren't Meant To Last.

With The Help Of Friends You'll Soon Realize,
That The Truth Is Nothing But A Bunch of Lies.

Everything You Touch Turns To Dust,
To Blood, To Ash, But Soon You'll See,
You'll Be Left With No One To Trust,
But Me.

Hungry, My Darlings? The More I Crave,
Step Aside, Won't You Give Way?

Dear Temptress, Lead My Army,
Punk Don't Be Afraid!
Wild Child, Loose My Gurney,

Batgirl, Sound the Horn
Sassy Sam, Hand Me a Lighter,
Blondie, Do Not Mourn,

Siren, Laugh Together!
Jerk, Do Not Surrender!
Wayward Child, Dismember!

My name is Francisco, you can call me Zisco.

Endings are hard, but in reality, nothing ever ends, does it?

I'm not perfect, I'm just a human being. I make mistakes and I try to redeem myself. Life ain't easy, but I manage. I like to help people with their problems, but when they are too much for me to handle, I much rather not. I'm a great listener, but there are things I believe are better handled on your own.
