Rap Song

Listen to "Bang Bang"

DrakeArnold.com

What the hell is there to say about this? It will probably haunt and embarrass me for years to come. Since I can't write sincere and genuine lyrics, I guess at least this way I get to write something.

Bang Bang

Yeah son, I like bitches and cars,
Staying out drinkin' like a supa star.
I jumps in muh ride even when I been bingein',
Nothin' like duh feel o' that combustible engine
I care about the rims on my means of conveyance.
I gots new 22" 's, only twelve easy payments.
Done fucked so many hoe's I gots triple gonorrhea, 
And in the next line I use an ona-mona-pea

Bang Bang goes dah sound o' my gat.
You best believe dis gangsta come strapped
So you don't even wanna step to me
or you're fuckin' with the 813, bitch.

I talk like a pimp, I limp when I walk,
Keep my piece loaded, in the drawer with muh socks,
and even though I'ma hard gansta dude,
I still represent the pink and baby blue,
My style carries from the west coast to atlantic,
Hoes go down on me like I was duh titanic.
Gottsa pitbull in my yard with a mouthful of rabies
All I ever feed it... ...is babies.

Bang Bang goes dah sound of my gat.
I'll suffocate you with my giant nutsack
So you don't even wanna step to me
or you're fuckin' with the 813, bitch

Y'all know me, my name is lil' git,
Also like the Titanic, I hit ice, and shit.
If you fuck around with me, I'm gonna impale ya
with the same dick I use on the female genitalia.
Yeah, all the bitches love me,
I gots lottsa chittlins and std's
but thats cool I don't care I just kick it in my palace
and all you busket haters can just suck on my phallus

Bang Bang goes dah sound o' my gat.
You best believe dis gangsta come strapped
So you don't even wanna step to me
or you're fuckin' with the 813, bitch.

pointless

i hit water today...
it makes me feel hopeless
i need to keep digging deeper
but it just keeps filling in with water

business as usual

i was digging a hole last night
i can't remember who had started it
it was the hole I've always talked about
the shovel broke while I was digging
after that I used my hands
i could never make it deep enough

Lyrics I just recorded...

Part of it is a recipe, part of it is just random nonsense. Quite a few of the words aren't even real words, I just modified them or made them up so they would be the right amount of syllables. After my pronunciation comes in to play, it is all completely unintelligible. I believe the title translates to "Gibberish Souffle". I really wish I was multilingual, but this is ok with me too....

Soufflé au Charabia

Ehtwah, bien le fromage blanc,

Dans un saladier, mélangez au faucette,
Le fromage, blanc les juan,
Johnés, d'oeufs, et la crèmé.

Ajouater un pince, de sel et la poivréon.

Lycéens, se déguisent et Les,
Défilent dans les rues pour demander,
De l'argent, aux passants,
Ou bien leur jeter de la,
De la farine, De la farine et des œufs.

Verser dans la moule, que et la farine,
Mettez au four préchauffé, Quand il est sorti une du fou,
Se former la croute, à soufflé beurré,
Mettez au qui doit monter, Quand il est sorti du fou,
Servez-le, immédiate - ment chaud, sans - le démouler.

Vous souhaitant, une santé de fer,
Une cuisine d'enfer et des d'œufs,
il m'a dit que, bientôt on allait mettre,
Tout le monde sous, Prozac face la peur.

Lyrics...

I've been trying to write lyrics a lot lately... That's why I posted those other two lyrics yesterday. I've been thinking about it a lot. I hate trying to write poetry and lyrics. I like to write and speak more elaborately than is necessary. I'm always long winded. Lyrics need to be concise, and make a point with out using very many words... I try to turn all of them in to five paragraph essays. Also, i'm either preachy or whiny or... I don't know, it's awful. On many levels, for many reasons. I'm always trying to ram an opinion down your throat, I can never just write about "winter concrete reflection" or some stupid abstract bullshit. I've thought before of ways to get around this problem. Writing more whimsically like Keller Williams approach or They Might Be Giants... [Speaking of them, I'm going to see Keller tonight & I just saw They Might Be Giants" last night too, Thats pretty random... or synchronistic, depending on how you feel about the universe.] Anyways, whimsical to the point of novelty would be a good route to try too. I think some novelty bands our hilarious [obviously, if you know TMBG] Writing humorous lyrics like Tenacious D would just be lame to me... Flight of the Conchords does it so much better, but still, too cheesy... I've thought about finding a poet friend like Trey Anastasio from Phish and just adapting their poetry into lyrics. That would be just swell. Except I've got so many of my own words ripping my head apart. I personally quit writing poetry years ago because it was all awful, so I can't adapt any of my own. A few years ago I learned how to play a couple of the David Bowie cover songs performed by Seu Jorge from the movie "the Life Aquatic". That was fun because he sings in Portuguese. I just wrote down the noises and gibberish it sounded like he was saying and sang that instead. So perhaps making up my own language and just singing guttural noises would be fine. Perhaps singing more like an instrument and less like a human would be on point too... Who needs lyrics when you pretend you mouth is a saxophone? Ideally, I would like nothing more than to write lyrics like Bright Eyes. His stuff is so amazing, beautiful, poignant, & over all inspiring. A true storyteller.... That's never gonna happen though, his lyrics are too great... I need to figure out something quick though, because until i write some crappy lyrics I feel is worth my awful singing voice, I'm stuck in a musical rut with several new recordings... well, thats it for now, probably more crappy lyric attempts soon enough though, I hope...

The second song I attempted to sing on...

Watch the video I made for it...

Daily Programming

Everyone is a robot, we’re all exactly the same
Everyone is a zombie, we’re all the walking dead
That is exactly how they want for you to be
And we chose to be this way. We choose it every day

And it’s all our own faults
We’ve got no one else to blame
We all brain wash ourselves
Each and every single day

So say goodbye to dead religions we don’t heed them anymore
And so goodbye to our government, we don’t need them anymore
The only opiate of the masses, our the television gods
And the only regime to rule us, our are corporate overlords

Even the best people I know
Have given up all their soul
And they choose to fill that void
By watching the television

So fill your mind with advertisements, buying trash will make you happy
And fill your hearts with scripted characters; choose their company over friends and family
Give up all of your potential and replace it with complacency
Or choose to take a stand right now, and just turn off your T.V.

Cause its all your own faults
You’ve got no one else to blame
We all brain wash ourselves
Each and every single day

Each and every single day
Each and every single day
Each and every single day
Each and every single day

If the battle wasn’t won

I lie in bed drifting off to sleep,
Listening to the wave’s crash upon the beach.
I am but a drop of water in
the endless oceans of humanity.

I’m just one person, what difference can I make…
Am I merely dreaming, or am I awake…
How can I give back, for all that I take…
Will anyone cry for our sake…

I stand on a shore carved out by the tide.
The sky falls dark, the water turns to ice.
I am but a grain of sand on
the endless beaches of time.

I’m just one person, what difference can I make…
Am I merely dreaming, or am I awake…
Would I make changes to anything I’ve done…
Or would I just give up, if the battle wasn’t won…

If the battle wasn’t won…
If the battle wasn’t won…
If the battle wasn’t won…
If the battle wasn’t won…

We're all just people, yet we can change the world.
I won’t just give up before my wings unfurl.
I’m not just dreaming and these are not facades.
I’ll never give in; I will fight against the odds.

And if the battle is lost, than it was worth the fight.
It is better to die with answers than live with questions

I will fight against the odds.
I will fight against the odds.
I will fight against the odds.
I will fight against the odds.

Something, something... a plunger!

Today is the day for internet updates, woot! I added a new song to my website, and I even made a status update on the insufferable facebook. Didn't write anything of value or meaning... Never do... I don't have anything to update this blog with, & i don't even know why I started it, but the good news is... only three or four random crazy stalkers will ever read this, so I can be a little bit more liberal with my tongue... I've been feeling crazy lately... the only reason I ever made a website was for art. I wonder if I'll make any good art ever? I look over this crap and feel embarrassed. I should just leave my old website as an archive for all my old crappy art and make a new website that highlights the five or so good things I've ever made. Life has been hectic lately and I find myself scraping my fingernails against the walls. I'm always surrounded by people, yet always a miserable lonely wretch. I wish i knew what the hell was wrong with me... This is unsatisfactory and I'd rather bitch about shit to my journal. I'll probably remember I updated this blog in a week and feel compelled to delete this post. Until then, god bless your creepy souls, three or four stalker people... You'res all I gots....

A project in the works...

So, I wrote all this stuff and have about 60 seconds of animation to go with it, but then, as often is the case, I realized that I can't write believable dialogue. That was about a month or two ago. I haven't really worked on this since then. I can't really make my pilot episode until I have the voice recording done, and I can't do the voice acting until I have dialogue that isn't so stupid and amateur. Hopefully I'll just suck it up and start working on it again soon, even with the crappy dialogue, but just in case any ambitious writers out there happen to read this; Join forces with me! I need a wee bit of help...





“The Unexamined Life…” [Working Title]

Possible titles
“The Unexamined Life…[is not worth living]” – Socrates
“[man is]…The Cruelest Animal” – Nietzsche
“[life is]… A Zoo In A Jungle” – Peter Devries
“Rough-Draft” – maybe I should just call it that…

Project
Cartoon Series… I’ll either make one fifteen minute long pilot episode, or fifteen or so 3 to 4 minute long short cartoons for the web. Even the most of my animated projects are like three minutes long, it won’t be hard to make it that long with the same intro and credits for each one every episode / Recycling animations and art of characters and settings each episode / using a lot of dialogue with limited animation as opposed to no dialogue and lots of animation.

Show Aim
Use show to bitch and rant about America and Americans. Each episode can get progressively crazier and more far-stretched as the storyline delves deeper into retarded conspiracy theories. At the end of the season it could get to the point of New World Order concentration camps and all hysteria and the world could be destroyed. That could leave season two open for a setting of a post apocalyptic future.

Show Synopsis
A zombie moves in with a vampire and a werewolf. All kinds of zany cookieness ensue. Zombie is a stupid jackass and vampire is cool intellectual. The classic “odd couple” scenario… Werewolf can just be the funny one or something? The house they live in is a big stereotypical haunted house/mansion awkwardly located right in the middle of a major U.S. city [perhaps a generic Manhattan].

Generic Episodes Outlines
What’s Wrong with Americans:
1. Pilot
2. Pharmaceuticals
3. Beauty/Cosmetics/Fashion
4. Environment
5. Media/Television
What’s Wrong with America:
6. Oil companies
7. Food/Seed/Gene splicing
8. Weapons Contractors
9. Politics/Politicians
10. International Bankers
11. Government Concentration Camps
12. New World Order

Reoccurring Episode Things
• Social Statement
• Conspiracy Gibberish
• Can show how they became monsters [One each episode]
• Can show them hunting/gathering/consuming humans [Once each episode]
• Perhaps Fictitious Physics? Maybe alternate dimensions, physical and temporal. [Reoccurring theme, not necessarily each episode]

Character Descriptions
• Zombie – Normal Voice. Recently Undead, living homeless since he woke up behind a dumpster. Being recently undead, he’s probably curious about the monster world.
Possible names:
Zomboy, Xomboy,?? stupid
• Vampire – Slightly European Accent. Nobility of some type. William Cavendish, Duke of Devonshire perhaps? Undead since 1500 – 1600ish. Full of knowledge about the undead world because he’s old as shit.
Possible names:
Magus, Lucius, Lucien, Darien, Darius, Albrecht, Roark, Lord William Cavendish; Duke of Devonshire,
• Werewolf - Gruff voice [teeth clenched]. Undead since 1800 – 1875ish. Maybe he used to be an artist or a poet or something? Perhaps base his character around Henry David Thoreau / Ralph Waldo Emerson.
Possible names:
Raleigh, Rasputin, Elliott
• Mummy – Dry raspy whisper or perhaps words recorded backwards then reversed. Undead since 1500 BCE. Tomb opened in 1891 A.D. Perhaps based on pharaoh Ahmose, who founded the first kingdom. Last to have a pyramid. Perhaps He’s there landlord and it could develop into a plot twist later. They have to pay him rent in the form of human sacrifices…
Possible names:
Ahmose
• Frankenstein – Deep voice. Perhaps lowered a few notes. Witty, Sophisticated, well read and well spoken, like Frankenstein’s monster from the book. Smart, Sad, Lonely.
Possible names:
There’s only one Frankenstein’s monster…
• Igor – Igor voice. Not undead, actually a hideous human that became a part of the undead world due to rejection from humanity [like that hideous creature from the movie ‘300’].

Extra Random Ideas to Use:
• Perhaps as a plot twist later in the series they could find out more about their landlord mummy. Perhaps vampire assumes he is naïve, his tomb only having been opened in 1891. Later you really find out that he is a 3,500 year old, ancient evil fuck who is manipulating them. Perhaps while they only consume their human bodies as nourishment, he has been using their human sacrifices [rent] to consume the human souls and is growing vastly powerful. He could turn out to be an enemy for a little bit, but then later they could reunite to do battle against the New World Overlords.
• Yet another Opportunity for a plot twist later, Zombie is the only one that doesn’t remember his human life or know how he became a monster. Like becoming a zombie gave him amnesia for some reason? Perhaps he was the result of some experiment by the New World Overlords or something to that effect.
• Develop two more sets of characters.
1. A group of average humans [perhaps neighbors] through which the perspective of oblivious pathetic humans can occasionally be portrayed for some kind of comedic value. Julia expressed willingness to help with them; perhaps she could develop them [Characters info, Aesthetic style, etc.].
2. “the Antagonists” or ‘villains’ of the show. Perhaps they could just refer to themselves as “the Antagonists” or “the New World Overlords”. These people are international bankers. There aren’t more than 12 or 13 of them. They own everything on earth. Each one of them individually is richer and more powerful then any sovereign nation. Each with a private army of freaked out gene spliced clone soldiers whom they’ve be able to create through their extensive research and development branches or whatever is a logical reason… the leader could be a truly amazingly evil bastard, like a cross between a gigantic satanic demon and a really creepy children’s clown… devil clown… or maybe kind of like Balo, the fire clown from Moorecocks multiverse. Possible name; Mephistopheles? [note to self: read faust?]
• Possible Character Names for New World Order Overlord:
Belthasar, Melchoir, Gaspar, Iffarit, bahamut, baphomet

• Use their butler Igor’s story in the episode about beauty/fashion/cosmetics, as he is a human, rejected by humanity. It could be his version of the “how they became a monster/1 each episode” thing I wanted to do.
• Zomboy finds someone from his mysterious past before he died, his father say. He approaches his dad and starts a heart breaking spiel. He is telling his dad he loves him and asking what happened before he died. Then it shifts to his fathers perspective and you see that zomboy is really moaning and making horrible zombie noises instead of talking. Dads all like, “what the fuck”

Other Relatively unimportant thing for me to consider remembering
• Werewolf can have bachelor pad room design, cinder block bookshelves, pictures of half naked women, empty liquor bottles, etc., Vampire can have gothic room design with a coffin, maybe some unnecessary flying buttresses coming out of his walls, perhaps some hooks hanging from chains arbitrarily attached around the ceiling [can be roosting spots for when he turns into a thousand bats {is roosting a real word or am I totally high?], boarded up windows and many a cob webby candelabra. Zombie can just inherit Frankenstein’s room when he move out, which could basically be like a mad science lab, or something to that effect.
• Develop some female characters… if that doesn’t work, perhaps try the creature from the black lagoon? Hahaha.
• Monster Manor [or whatever it will be called] can get toilet papered one episode and later you realize it was because the mummy got attacked by the cities over abundant population of shit head pigeons.
• Instead of making fun of humans, the show can just make fun of monsters, as there society is riddled with the same problems as modern American society. Monsters are all on pharmaceutical drugs, consumed by television, etc. perhaps just everyone powerful could be a monster, including politicians, corporate fat cats, even the “new world overlords”, it’s common knowledge amongst them, but humans are unaware they hold all positions of power. Perhaps before the “new world overlords” are introduced it can just show the system of powerful monsters as it is in America, chaotic and jumbled with nothing getting accomplished, at fist glance, then you realize it’s all a very complicated web woven by the “new world overlords”.
• Drake; remember that short, failed attempt at a screenplay you wrote back in like 2005, where in a group of teenagers eat some mushrooms and then one of them became a zombie and know body knew cause they were all tripping, the zombie included. Well one episode or another [later on in the series when you are totally washed up on ideas], here’s your chance to finally get to make your “tripping zombie” crappy movie idea into a reality.
• Vampire could reminisce about the good old days, like back in the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries, when a vampire didn’t have a care in the world
• If I do a pilot of a longer show, pitch it to adult swim and places like that, if it’s a series of short cartoons pitch it as a “web exclusive” type of stupid thing for some website.
• I’m not smart or clever, or better at anything then anyone else, learn, assimilate, use and credit as many sources as possible. Eternal reference to things I might not even fully understand. Everyone loves an obscure reference when they feel that not many other people would get or appreciate the reference.
• Since I no longer have a drum set in Tampa, I can just use drumming on tables and such for beats, plus it would sound really cool anyways. That and my acoustic guitar / Julia’s piano. Then for the second season when I get my music equipment back I could record a version of the music with drumset / electric guitar.
• perhaps “dark matter”, “dark energy” or “anti-matter” could be the new world overlords equivalent of magic or alchemy

Things for me to figure out
• Name that they refer to themselves as, similar to but nor the word monsters, such as “ancient ones” “outsiders” “old blood” “black blood” or simply “the undead”.
• Names for characters, the show its self, the house the live in, etc.

Pilot Episode [Rough Draft in Progress]
The scene opens with Werewolf and Frankenstein yelling at each other about living issues.
WW: “You always eat all of my food out of the refrigerator”
Fr: “Well at least I don’t clog up the drain every time I shower”
WW: “Yeah, that’s right big guy, just walk away”
WW [aside to V]: “We have got to get a new roommate”
Frankenstein Mopes in
Fr [to V]: “I can take no more of this, I apologize but I am moving out”
WW: “Good, Finally that decomposing dead flesh smell will go away”
Frankenstein mopes out
V: “Well I suppose we’ll have to get a new room mate”
The next scene shows Vampire typing at a computer
WW: “I don’t see why we need to get a new room mate anyways”
V: “I told you, we need help filling our quota”---Interrupted
WW: “And I can’t believe you’re posting a wanted add on Greg’s List, it’s like, a bunch of stalkers on there”
V: “Oh just shut up, will you? [Soliloquy] “I can hardly blame Frankenstein”
The scene shows the main foyer / front door area, the doorbell is ringing. Perhaps some dialogue about “expecting company” or “being on good behavior”. Anyways, Igor opens the door and some total goth douche is standing there.
V: “May I Help You”
GuyDouche: “Uh.. Yeah Hi, I’m responding to the add on Greg’s lists about a roo---”
‘BONK’ – Werewolf hits him in the face with a frying pan and he falls to the floor in an unconscious heap
WW: “There is no way that douche is moving in with us”
V: “Ah, I told you not to do that kind of thing”
Blah blah blah, more dumb dialogue a few more people come to the door and each is progressively rejected faster. Perhaps the last time around, Werewolf could just open the door and plunge his claws deep into the abdomen of the unsuspecting fucktard at the door. When all hope seems lost and they are just sitting about the house the doorbell rings one last time. The door is opened upon a shadowy figure, stepping into the light to reveal Zombie.
V: “Welcome, Come in…”
Bum Buh Bum BUUUUUH! Ominous and then cut away to Commercial Break!
Maybe more stuff needs to happen in between before the Show Resumes.
Vampire, Werewolf and Zombie are sitting around a fine dining table, eating the remains of the people who knocked on the door.
V: “Then it’s all settled, you can move in immediately. “
Z: “Thank you”
WW: “So what’s your story anyways kid?”
Z: “What do you mean?”
WW: “Well I can tell you are recently undead, so what happened?”
Z: “Oh, right. Well, I don’t really know exactly, I just woke behind a Burger King one day and I was like this. I guess that was probably about six month ago or so. Ever since then I’ve just been living on the streets, inhabiting alley ways and living on bums.”
WW: “That Sounds like a rough time. How did you ever find your way here?”
Z: “I was a the library looking up porn when I stumbled across your advertisement on Greg’s list. I thought it was a joke at first but I was so desperate I figured I’d just try it anyways. Nice post by the way, didn’t the phrase ‘Looking for an undead roommate’ seem slightly obvious to you?”
V: “I thought it would keep most of the humans from responding, although it did attract some ridiculous people”
WW: “Yeah, It was okay, we got this sweet meal out of it.”
Blah blah dialogue perhaps a scene change, after dinner around a fire with glasses of wine
Z: “I still can’t believe all of this, you guys are the first undead people I’ve met since I woke up that day. So you are supposed to be a vampire right?”
V: “Indeed”
Z: “And you’re obviously a Werewolf, right?”
WW: “You see, that’s actually a common misconception. I’m really more of a wolf-man, but no, that’s just fine, you can call me a werewolf.”
Z: “That’s pretty cool, but what am I supposed to be, a zombie I suppose?”
V: “It would appear that way.”
Z: “Man, I got gypped, but still, this is so cool. I can’t believe monsters exist”
WW: “Yeah well we do exist, and we prefer the term ‘undead’, you dick. And it’s probably not as cool as you think. It’s not all just killing people and drinking and partying.”
Scene changes to show quick montage of them partying and murdering humans brutally, end montage with ‘3 weeks later’ or something and show vampire
V: “Seriously though…”
Pan over to Werewolf chowing down on dead bodies.
WW: “I’m sorry, what did you say? I had my head phones in.”
Camera shows Werewolf put his headphones back in from his perspective and start eating again, with his headphone music rocking something crappy like Risk Astley’s ‘Never Gonna Give You Up’ or something.

Two thoughts...

That just occurred to me...

1] The idea of someone with an "old soul" does not always have to mean an especially enlightened person nor does it merit the thought that, an "old soul" is that much further along in its spiritual evolution or quest of trudging through tediousness lifetime-after-lifetime in order to work their way up some kind of karmic-reincarnation-ladder. It could actually mean that the old soul is repeating the same sick sad mistakes over and over again. Never getting life right. Never moving up to a higher plane of reality / existence / consciousness. It could mean that the poor old soul has lived a thousand identical lives, repeating over and over again, like Bill Murray from groundhogs day, the same sorry fate forever. How sad that must be...

2] Idea for a sweet-ass, hollywood action movie:
Jesus is Coming: Say Your Prayers...
Plot Synopsis: Jesus kills everyone in a sexy way using guns and miracles. Featuring biblical dialogue, gratuitous sex scenes, and ultimate crucifixion violence...


And further more... It's late and I'm wretched, so what did you expect?
severely yours,
