Gracey Boyd

I've got a soft spot for you, it might be dangerous. If pushed enough, it might mold yo your inclination. I thank goddess for your imperfections, just a few less and I'd find myself wandering into grey area..... Brandon Boyd

My Diary Entry - September 23, 2003

I was going through this journal and I realized that I only write when I'm angry, lonely and horny. And never, never when I'm happy.....

I saw Brandon Boyd's book called "White Fluffy Cloud" today and there was a similar entry to his diary. He was torn because he can only write when he is sad but he wants to be happy and write at the same time. The first time I heard Anti-Gravity, I thought wow lucky is the girl who is dating this guy. And then I heard the other albums and I was impressed with how this guys thinks. And then I saw him, dreadlocks, slightly unbathed (i suspect he even smells)and skinny as a beanpole. I fell in love with him and so did half of the world's female population. And then fame catches up with songwriters which turns them into rock stars. They have money, girls and pretty much all the things they've always wanted. Where is the sadness, the feeling of living in society's fringes that drives you to create beautiful art. You lose it for awhile and you start writing songs whining about your fame, money and the girls. But not Brandon Boyd, he continues to write about personal experiences, politics and the his world view. The music just keeps changing, perhaps sounding even better. I can't wait for the new album next month.

Thanks to him, kids who are mentally challenged and just want to listen to music that MTV feeds them are encouraged to check out the dictionary once in awhile.
