After the Burial

RIP Justin Lowe

Disclaimer: I do not own or claim ownership of any lyrics posted here

“And in the end I will show you that this life in only madness

Can we filter out

The toxicity?

And find worth in the static

We build and build

We forget the model

We design the madness and we paint it gold

Swarming and spiraling

Burning at both ends

A blur on the horizon

We fail to keep site

Over and over again

Open your palms up

Resist the current”

- “Lost in the Static”

“Smash everything around you

It’s all yours if you wish

Give and take in the palm of your hand

Return us where we all begin

Spun of earth, masked and secret

Liars hide inside us all

With sharpened teeth vast that never end

To the gallows we descend”

- “Behold the Crown”

“Feel defeat

Breathe relief

All the pain is leaving

Misleading, deceiving

Everything doesn’t mean anything to me

Suffocate

Seal your fate

Separate the guilt and faults from your own mind”

- “Nothing Gold”

“We melt away at the summer’s heat

Stuck between

Our own ideas in paralyzed nights

We kick and turn in searing waves

Like hollow shells

Dread echoes inside

Reverberate… in infinity

Reverberate… in infinity”

- “Collapse”

“Where do we begin?

When everything is wrong we just forget

Move along and we play pretend

Surround your life with silver and gold

Your tinsel dreams and the make believe

Deconstructed and paralyzed

So slowly somehow I’m evaporating

We dream to be the lesser

A maligned separate existence

We belittle ourselves to a lesser

being - our dreams are not our dreams”

- “A Wolf Amongst Ravens”

“We carry ghosts

The godless head of pure dispair

Gripped by the throat

Release me

From this curse

I abandoned”

- “Death Keeps Us From Living”

“We misplace dreams and study braille throughout the dark

And there’s hope for a better future

And there’s hope for a better life

Rage

I will put this all back inside of me

Ghosts of my past lift me up

Carry me through blinding light”

- “Laurentian Ghosts”

“Life is a lesson

That we don’t sign up for

But we fatefully learn

And as I grow old

Time will break me apart”

- “Neo Seoul”

“I’ll never look back

Nothing really mattered til now

Decades waiting to be caught in your wind

And when your voice gave notes it pushed my sails

We found safety growing within ourselves

Just two children waiting at the window for the rain to stop”

- “Deluge”

“Give me indication

Give me separation

With everything seeming pulseless

Give me indication

Give me separation

I’m drifting into oblivion

And there’s no place I’d rather be

I’m drifting into oblivion”

- “Pennyweight”

“Do you know what it’s like to be

Inside - separate from life

A shallow grave for benevolence

Submerged

We grasp for light but none that truly exist

Better then, nothing now

You feel the earth surround you as you fall”

- “Mire”

“Guiding me from within

For I am just a part of who

Just a part of who I was back then

Where we were when this all began

For I am just a part of who

Just a part of who I was back the

Where we were when this all began

Something inside me

I cannot fix

So we begin

Begin again”

- “Disconnect”

“When I return

I dream of another life

Failure transparent in the palm of my hand

I am the contortionist

We are the contortionists

I can feel this distance is further and farther

Without you

Contorting to fit

Somewhere I do not belong”

- “Your Troubles Will Cease and Fortune Will Smile Upon You”

“Misery, I wanted to forget you

But five years later I have grown

I have regret

You were better deserved

But we all learn

Hands to broken mirrors

We shattered our design

You were always so easy for me

To leave in ruins”

- “Nine Summers”

“But we emerged soaked in grace

Dripping with the truth

You’ve fired upon a target so clear

But we’ve shattered our own glass hearts

We’ve fought with sweat and blood

This life is all we have

Today has taken a bloody toll

But the nightfall will claim your life”

- “A Steady Decline”

“And like the nights upon nights to come

I will dream of you

And know that I will see you soon

Give me the strength to carry on”

- “To Carry You Away”

“I feel the words escaping

The break from my thoughts

And disappear from my mouth

They leave behind a taste

The taste of failure

So familiar it reminds me of you

Don’t say you’ll save my life”

- “My Frailty”

“I won’t stand by

While you plague the air

With your lies and deception

My shirt stained crimson from long nights of anguish

These scars are forever

But this won’t be eternity”

- “Fingers Like Daggers”

“Escape is granted

And in this moment

I free myself

As each memory fades

In this emptiness

I free myself”

- “Parise”

“Victim of anger

Tied to distance

Where does it come from?

Distrust

I’ve stood strong

Held my head high through constant war

So brutal, so violent

So I tiptoe through conversation

A lapse in my step is misperceived

Unleash a breath of salvation

In dormancy lies everlasting rage”

- “Aspiration”

“I reach into memories

I long to relive those times

Those younger days

If only time would stop

Stand still

Maybe I could see myself

What I’ve become

It’s sickening

This isn’t me”

- “Rareform”

“Now follow the thrashing thought of your dream to exist

Pursue what may never come

Releasing demons and banishing them to the depths

Of bloody memories and regrets

The outer shell is decomposing

Releasing a new upgraded self”

- “Ometh”

“I can feel this emptiness

Slowly I am fading out

I can feel this emptiness

And this is becoming of me

My hands hold on tight

I’m not letting go

Words are never good enough

Everything I breathe

Is broken letters and bad timing

And they are becoming of me”

- “Sleeper”

Greg 'Stackhouse' Prevost - I Have Always Been Here Before

[mermaidinthecity]

This album is called FEARLESS, and I guess I’d like to clarify why we chose that as the title. To me, FEARLESS is not the absence of fear. It’s not being completely unafraid. To me, FEARLESS is having fears. FEARLESS is having doubts. Lots of them. To me, FEARLESS is living in spite of those things that scare you to death. FEARLESS is falling madly in love again, even though you’ve been hurt before. FEARLESS is walking into your freshmen year of high school at fifteen. FEARLESS is getting back up and fighting for what you want over and over again…even though every time you’ve tried before, you’ve lost. It’s FEARLESS to have faith that someday things will change. FEARLESS is having the courage to say goodbye to someone who only hurts you, even if you can’t breathe without them. I think it’s FEARLESS to fall for your best friend, even though he’s in love with someone else. And when someone apologizes to you enough times for things they’ll never stop doing, I think it’s FEARLESS to stop believing them. It’s FEARLESS to say “you’re NOT sorry”, and walk away. I think loving someone despite what people think is FEARLESS. I think allowing yourself to cry on the bathroom floor is FEARLESS. Letting go is. Then, moving on and being alright…That’s FEARLESS too. But no matter what love throws at you, you have to believe in it. You have to believe in love stories and prince charmings and happily ever after. That’s why I write these songs. Because I think love is FEARLESS.

THANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOU

I want to thank my family. Austin, thank you for understanding all of this and never getting frustrated. I love you with all my heart and I’m so proud of you. Mom, you’re my best friend and your laugh keeps me sane. Dad, thank you for your help selling t-shirts and playing the role of “proud dad” 24/7.

Nathan, my brilliant producer, thank you for your intuition. Thank you for your talent, I’m lucky to have you.

Liz Rose, you’ve never stopped standing by me.

To my wonderful little record label that has grown quite a bit since the days of no furniture, fresh paint, and 12 employees…Thank you. I’ll never forget the days of sitting on the floor, putting cds into envelopes to send “Tim McGraw” out to radio.

Scott Borchetta, thank you for believing in me since I was 14 and still trying to straighten my hair. You’re family.

Robert Allen, thank you for all of your hard work on the road and your lovely British accent.

Thank you to Monte Lipman, Joel Klaiman, and everyone at Universal!

I love you Emily Evans. Jason Hutcheson, thank you for looking out for me.

Sandi Spika, thank you for your pretty dresses and glam assistance.

Lorrie Turk, thank you for your awesome make up skills and wonderful laugh.

Paula Erickson, you’re an amazing publicist and anyone would be lucky to be your client. 😉 You’re the best publicist EVER.

Claudine Ottinger, thanks for all the tour press! Kelly Rich, you’re wonderful.

Duane Clark, thanks for helping me learn the business end of things.

Mike Milom, thank you for endlessly combing through my contracts. Crazy lawyers…Troy Tomlinson at Sony/ATV Publishing, you make me happy, Greg Oswald (You’re incredible), Dave Wirchtshafter (You get it done basically you’re awesome), Jason Trawick (You’re hilarious and awesome), and all my friends at William Morris.

Thank you to country radio. I remember riding in the back of a Taurus on radio tour, and meeting you all for the first time. Look at what you’ve done for me!

Thank you to CMT, GAC, and MTV.

Colbie, thank you for lending your angelic voice to this album. It’s an honor to have you as a co-writer and friend.

Abigail, distance has never held us back and it won’t now that you’re at college. Best friends. That will never change.

Kellie Pickler, you’re the sister I never had.

To my band, “The Agency”, you are family. Caitlin Evanson, Paul Sidoti, Grant Mickelson, Al Wilson, Amos Heller, Ben Clark…Thank you for dressing up in crazy costumes because you know it makes me laugh.

Thank you to the people with the hard jobs — My crew and bus drivers.

But most of all, thank you to the fans. I’m nothing without you. Nothing. I’ll never forget that.

I want to thank you for giving me this life, from the bottom of my heart. With everything I have and everything I am, I thank you. I’m nothing without the people who believed in me and my music enough to go out and buy a copy of the first CD…or the people who bought tickets to see me in concert. So the final thank you goes out to you.

Fans are the reason I even have a second album coming out. I love you. Thank you for all you do. Endlessly. l’ll always thank you, and I thank God every day for putting you in my life.

And to the boys who inspired this album, you had fair warning.

FEARLESSLY, LOVELOVELOVE-T-

Leverage Mark Showdown Masterpost

RESULTS ARE IN! JACK HURLEY IS THE #1 FAVORITE MARK!

2nd Place: Damien Moreau

3rd Place: Victor Dubenich

4th Place: Meredith

What we’re looking for:

The “favorite” Mark out of the original five seasons. “Favorite” here means the mark you ENJOY the most. That could mean you love them, love to hate them, like their style, like the actor, or even sympathize with them. 

So it’s pretty personal and pretty open. But what we’re NOT looking for is like, the biggest baddest mark: the one with the objectively best plan, or the one who does the most harm, or anything like that. It’s not “who could beat up whom.” We’re also not looking for the best episode or con. We’re just looking at the characters themselves.

Serie live action de “Scooby-Doo” podría llegar a Netflix

Scooby-Doo, uno de los personajes más queridos de las caricaturas, estará de regreso a través de una serie live action dramática basada en la clásica animación de Hanna-Barbera, la cual será producida por Warner Bros. Television y podría ser distribuida por Netflix. De acuerdo con Deadline, la serie será escrita por Josh Appelbaum y Scott Rosenberg, quienes también producirán junto a André Nemec y Jeff Pinkner en representación de Midnight Radio. Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schechter y Leigh London Redman serán los productores ejecutivos a través de Berlanti Productions, mientras que Adrienne Erickson y Jonathan Gabay de Berlanti Productions, serán coproductores ejecutivos. El posible acuerdo se llevó a cabo luego del exitoso estreno de “Los detectives difuntos”, serie que fue lanzada a través de Netflix la semana pasada y la cual fue producida en colaboración de Berlanti Productions y Warner Bros. Television. Asimismo, otros éxitos que cosecharon las empresas en conjunto fueron las series de “You” y “El mundo oculto de Sabrina”. El personaje es una creación de Joe Ruby y Ken Spears que fue lanzada a la pantalla chica en 1969, a través de la caricatura llamada “¡Scooby-Doo, dónde estás!” de Hanna-Barbera, que después fue adquirida por Warner Bros. Animation. “Scooby-Doo” ha tenido numerosas adaptaciones y spin off, entre ellos, la serie animada producida para Cartoon Network que se transmitió de 2010 hasta 2018; la cinta “¡Scooby!”, de 2020; o el reciente y fallido spin off de “Velma“, estrenado en Max.     Read the full article

pbsthisdayinhistory: August 12 1990: Sue the T. Rex is...

pbsthisdayinhistory: August 12, 1990: ‘Sue’ the T. Rex is Discovered On this day in 1990, the best preserved skeleton of a Tyrannosaurus Rex was discovered in western South Dakota. Ten years later, the Sue exhibit went on display at Chicago’s Field Museum. Sue, or FMNH PR 2081, has a record 80 percent complete skeleton. Perhaps the greatest mystery about dinosaurs is how did they get so big? Sue is fully 20 feet tall and 40 feet long. How she got that big, it turns out, is tied up in yet another mystery: How long did she live? By studying the bones of both extinct dinosaurs and their living reptilian cousins—alligators and lizards—Greg Erickson of Florida State University has been able to answer both questions: like a reptilian James Dean, T. rex lived fast and died young. Watch this NOVA scienceNOW clip to see how scientists discovered Sue’s age. Photo: Sue the T-Rex at the Field Museum of Natural History, Chicago, IL (OnFirstWhols, Wikimedia Commons)

I saw on the Buffyverse Wiki that Greg Cox (author of many media-tie-in novels) wrote a Star Trek trilogy called The Eugenics Wars. Apparently one of the scientists in vol 1 The Rise and Fall of Khan Noonien Singh is named Maggie Erickson and she's engaged to Everett Walsh. Get it. Maggie Walsh. Her doctoral dissertation was in child psychology.

In 1974, she's in India working on Project Chrysalis, genetically engineering superhumans. She was director for the base's daycare facility for Augment (short for augmentation) children.

Anthony Stewart Head (Giles) narrated vol 1. ��

The lies they told--and maybe believed: What NC Republicans said about rejecting the Electoral College results

The lies they told–and maybe believed: What NC Republicans said about rejecting the Electoral College results

Make no mistake, there is an alternative reality to go with the alternative facts of MAGA world. While most of the country is appalled by the assault on the Capitol and democracy that killed four people including a Capitol police officer, the right-wing sees the attack as a successful start of another civil war. They are high-fiving their efforts and gearing up to storm Capitol Hill in the days…

Leverage Mark Showdown -- First Heat Contestants

Where the nominator left comments (or fun extra descriptors), I’m including their comments, cause those are way better than what I’d come up with. Where they didn’t leave comments, you’ll have to settle for mine :P

Mark Doyle The Bottle Job I genuinely liked him as a character, he was sleazy but so fun. The accent was fun, he was an easy mark, and he screamed like a girl. One of my fave episodes cause of him.

David Lampard aka “Truffle Jackass” The French Connection Job who the hell meets “gnar slabdash the n is mostly silent” and just TAKES THAT at face value

“His Honor Mayor Brad Culpepper III” The Three Strikes Job and to a lesser extent The Maltese Falcon Job TONAAAAAAAAAAAAAY

Ian Blackpoole The First and Second David Jobs The man has balls, okay? I’ve said it before -- a disgruntled, disheveled ex-employee pulls a gun on him, and his response is to calmly ask if he’s going to kill him, then invite him to his party, offer him shrimp, and call his ex wife over to see him. Ice cold.

Mark Vector The Morning After Job he's a bitch and a sleaze and it was so satisfying seeing him go down

Greg Sherman aka “The Blowfish” The Boiler Room Job my ultimate love-to-hate. I always spend the episode going WHY DO I HATE THIS GUY SO MUCH before remembering oh yeah it’s cause he’s the bad guy, I’m supposed to hate him. BUT I HATE HIM SO MUCH!

Victor Dubenich The Nigerian Job, The Radio Job, The Last Dam Job man you guys had a lot to say about this one! here goes: - he's awful but he's also how they came together - i like the actor that plays him - THE OG. mr inciting incident. my most underrated man saul rubinek. the absolute balls on this guy. might even still be out there you never know - Not only the first and the one who accidentally helped bind together a world-class team and eventually sent them after himself - twice;  but also the first echo/cast-caĺlback to the Nero Wolfe series. - He consistently thinks he's better than the crew, but Nate keeps outsmarting him anyway. Plus, the fact that he and Latimer forced Nate into calling back some old favorites, there's a number of reasons to love The Last Dam Job. I will never get over the hacking with a clam thing - Because he came back with a revenge plan and because he started this whole thing when he screwed the team over - this guy kinda kickstarted the whole thing by being greedy and selfish enough to try and double-cross not just a group of thieves, but a man who was ROYALLY screwed by the system literal months prior by using his dead kid against him. He's arrogant, but just smart enough to be a threat as of The Last Dam Job, and even then his insistence that he "knows" the team better than Nate after all these years is one of the things that leads to his downfall. Seriously, fuck that guy.

Judge Roy The Bank Shot Job He commits to the bit, okay? I WILL turn this entire episode into a western and I WILL be the black-had domineering bad guy and I WILL refuse to have any semblence of self-awareness about it at any time!

Gabe Erickson The Real Fake Car Job Matthew Lillard is great, and I absolutely loved "Nobody's plotting to kill you, you idiot!"

Starke’s Crew ( Marcus Starke, Chaos, Mikel Dayan, Apollo)  The Two Live Crew Job They were so fun and I absolutely adored their interactions with our leverage crew.  Scott Roemer The (Very) Big Bird Job The Carey Elwes? The Howard Hughes cosplay? The fact that he thinks he stole and destroyed the entire Spruce Goose?

Jack Hurley The 12-Step Job - It was nice to see a mark that’s not a POS and have the team ‘help’ once they realised that - He was a genuinely great guy who's just a fuck up. I get it.  - He is just too excitable and honest and keeps getting into shit way over his head but is too sweet to really hate - I really enjoyed having a Mark who "redeemed" themselves to. Plus, hes a goofy character, and seeing him a second time when I didn't expect it made me double take and laugh on my first watch.

Monica Hunter The Three Days of the Hunter Job - she's horrible and interesting and you get the most satisfaction from seeing her go down. also the bit where she's being interrogated by the army and she's like "it's okay I know that there *totally aren't* any secret bases ;-)" and the guy is so tired and like "yes that's bc there aren't any secret bases" and she's like "I know you have to say that ;-)" and he's right - rip girl you would have loved qanon - I love conspiracy theorists who don't even really believe in the awful stuff they make up (+ it's a terrible human being with the face of aunt zelda)

William Quinn & Tobey Earnshaw The Juror #6 Job He was a fakeass hippie played by Brent Spiner. She was trying so damn hard to be a chessmaster it was embrrasing. Can I make it any more obvious?

Eddie Maranjian The Order 23 Job Man there’s a few marks I can’t help but feel viscerally bad for cause of how the crew preys on their fears and neuroses that they can’t help. So a little sympathy, and also like, affinity crimes are nasty fucking things but in terms of story it’s a nice change of pace from the usual white guys playing chess from their lofty towers

Caroline Cowan The Low Low Price Job Oh another one that I kinda almost feel bad for for how much they freaked her out. This is a good matchup!

Surfer Dude Names

I was looking to name a sim inspired by the archetypal beach-goer with wavy sunbleached hair who looks like they say “dude” every 5 seconds, you know the type... anyways I wasn’t really finding what I wanted, so I ended up making this list by taking names that stuck out to me from movies about surfing, and the Beach Party movie genre because apparently that was a thing... there’s also a bunch of real-life professional surfer names, soooo yeah
