It's a long story, and I don't really want to get into details at the moment because there's still a chance that she won't be.

That's cool. I hope it works out.

Just finished a 21-page proyect.

And I'm still heart-broken.

I'm wanting to make a poem, but I know it'll suck. Nothing to do with the above, just started reading some Pablo Neruda and I've been wanting to start.

Feel any better since the last time we talked?

Time heals all wounds my friend. It'll get better.

Never read "Los Soles Truncos", I presume :p.

Good little play.

Hey now, I'm trying to be motivational and uplifting despite being a complete wreck at the moment, give me some slack! :p

Kyle!

Are you around?

[QUOTE] LA CANCIÓN DESESPERADA

Emerge tu recuerdo de la noche en que estoy.
El río anuda al mar su lamento obstinado.

Abandonado como los muelles en el alba.
Es la hora de partir, oh abandonado!

Sobre mi corazón llueven frías corolas.
Oh sentina de escombros, feroz cueva de náufragos!

En ti se acumularon las guerras y los vuelos.
De ti alzaron las alas los pájaros del canto.

Todo te lo tragaste, como la lejanía.
Como el mar, como el tiempo. Todo en ti fue naufragio!

Era la alegre hora del asalto y el beso.
La hora del estupor que ardía como un faro.

Ansiedad de piloto, furia de buzo ciego,
turbia embriaguez de amor, todo en ti fue naufragio!

En la infancia de niebla mi alma alada y herida.
Descubridor perdido, todo en ti fue naufragio!

Te ceñiste al dolor, te agarraste al deseo.
Te tumbó la tristeza, todo en ti fue naufragio!

Hice retroceder la muralla de sombra,
anduve más allá del deseo y del acto.

Oh carne, carne mía, mujer que amé y perdí,
a ti en esta hora húmeda, evoco y hago canto.

Como un vaso albergaste la infinita ternura,
y el infinito olvido te trizó como a un vaso.

Era la negra, negra soledad de las islas,
y allí, mujer de amor, me acogieron tus brazos.

Era la sed y el hambre, y tú fuiste la fruta.
Era el duelo y las ruinas, y tú fuiste el milagro.

Ah mujer, no sé cómo pudiste contenerme
en la tierra de tu alma, y en la cruz de tus brazos!

Mi deseo de ti fue el más terrible y corto,
el más revuelto y ebrio, el más tirante y ávido.

Cementerio de besos, aún hay fuego en tus tumbas,
aún los racimos arden picoteados de pájaros.

Oh la boca mordida, oh los besados miembros,
oh los hambrientos dientes, oh los cuerpos trenzados.

Oh la cópula loca de esperanza y esfuerzo
en que nos anudamos y nos desesperamos.

Y la ternura, leve como el agua y la harina.
Y la palabra apenas comenzada en los labios.

Ese fue mi destino y en él viajó mi anhelo,
y en él cayó mi anhelo, todo en ti fue naufragio!

Oh, sentina de escombros, en ti todo caía,
qué dolor no exprimiste, qué olas no te ahogaron!

De tumbo en tumbo aún llameaste y cantaste.
De pie como un marino en la proa de un barco.

Aún floreciste en cantos, aún rompiste en corrientes.
Oh sentina de escombros, pozo abierto y amargo.

Pálido buzo ciego, desventurado hondero,
descubridor perdido, todo en ti fue naufragio!

Es la hora de partir, la dura y fría hora
que la noche sujeta a todo horario.

El cinturón ruidoso del mar ciñe la costa.
Surgen frías estrellas, emigran negros pájaros.

Abandonado como los muelles en el alba.
Sólo la sombra trémula se retuerce en mis manos.

Ah más allá de todo. Ah más allá de todo.

Es la hora de partir. Oh abandonado![/QUOTE]

I want to turn this into a song.

Who has used ernie ball strings before?

I've always strung my bass with EBs. What do you want to know about them?

Also, I found this browsing YouTube. Absolutely awesome style.

Care to summarize for those who are failures with anything other than English? I'm not talking about the actual wording as much as the feeling behind it.

I was just wondering, they seem to get start out nice and bright and great for slapping. Then get dull really quick, does that happen for you?

Ernie Balls are great. Cheap, sound good, goor harmonics, etc.

I've had an mp3 of this for the longest time, but never actually seen it played. I don't even know where I got it.

They get dull fast, but I like that. I hate how metallic they sound new.

It's an interesting song for sure.

There is some really good stuff on Youtube. Plenty of bad stuff too, but some real winners.

ive used EB's, but i prefer Roto's... i just wanted to try D'ad's for a change. i know Ben Kenney of Incubus uses Prosteel's, and i like his tone..... ive been spoiled though, ive been using Elixers for the past like... 2 years now. Nanoweb's = sex

Yeah. I just can't comprehend how Charlie Roberts is getting such a good tone out of a Gibson. :p

Couple months ago i bought a new set of D'Addarios and only strung my d and g with them cause i only like the new metallic sound when i pop my D and G.

The women he loved died, and with that, he lost everything. Now, I'm not sure if he dies in the end, but that's a possibility.

This could be easier to make a song.
