Whenever death may surprise us,
let it be welcome
if our battle cry has reached even one receptive ear
and another hand reaches out to take up our arms.


Nobody's gonna miss me, no tears will fall, no ones gonna weap, when i hit that road.
my boots are broken my brain is sore, fer keepin' up with thier little world, i got a heavy load.
gonna leave 'em all just like before, i'm big city bound, your always 17 in your hometown

Goodbye you liar,
Well you sipped from the cup but you don't own up to anything
Then you think you will inspire
Take apart your head
(and I wish I could inspire)
Take apart your demons, then you add it to the list.

I just got back from a 9-hole round of golf.....man I shot horrible. I didn't even have any beer with me to force drinks for "longest drive".

What did you shoot Neil?

I'm going out on Monday for the first time this year.
I can't wait until the day schools are over-funded and the military is forced to hold bake sales to buy planes.

I'll be going out sometime shortly after exams end. I've been itching for it for months.

It is the toughest sport you will ever learn. I'm a pretty good athlete and can usually pick up a sport rather quickly but golf is so intricate that it's amazingly hard to be good at. One little aspect of your swing that you won't even notice will cause your shot to go way off target. It's a great sport and one that you really have to play often to be consistent.

double post cause I'm too lazy to edit...

Did I mention I'm going to St Andrews in 3 weeks :D Unfortunately I won't be playing it but just to be there is going to be awesome.

Yay golf is tricky. Never, ever, lift your head even a fraction of a centimeter until you hit the ball. Eyes on the ball at all times, that is the fundamental rule.

Queens Of The Stone Age-Someone's In The Wolf

Once you're lost in twillights's blue
You don't find your way, the way finds you...

Tempt the fates, beware the smile
It hides all the teeth, my dear,
What's behind them...

So glad you could stay
Forever

He steps between the trees, a crooked man
There's blood on the blade
Don't take his hand

You warm by the firelight, in twilight's blue
Shadows creep & dance the walls
He's creeping too..

So glad you could stay
Forever

so true

weird thing is, I find I usually play my best near the start of the season - after I've had a bit of practice but before I start obsessing over the little aspects and over-thinking it.

My biggest problem is common with most left handed golfers... I have a pretty big slice. I've learned to counter it with a draw but it isn't very consistent. I really don't know for sure on each shot if my slice is going to show up, or if my draw is going to make it go straight. Oddly enough it only happens with my driver. My irons are dead straight and if I could only get my distances right I'd be shooting better scores than I do.

After I'm done school and get a real job I'm going to save up and buy a good set of golf clubs and have them fitted for me. I think part of the problem is that my clubs are just a generic set and so because of that I might not be hitting the ball at the right angle.

same here! My slice KILLS me. Except that I'm a righty. I've taken lessons and been told a hundred different sure-fire ways to fix a slice. But then usually I just end up over-thinking it and focusing too much on all these little details.
