the hands of eternity
August 28, 2010, 7:13 pm
   ----
Lonely tears don't cry for me for lonely tears fall like rain on the fields of broken dreams Save your tears for the impossible task of a world that lives in human harmony Funny how absurd the thought that we could ever reach the heights that were so easily taught Rising to the challenge yet we still can't stand up like drunken alcoholics we hold on to the shit that ties us in knots Save me from myself deserving greed.... perhaps that is the core of this lost mass of humanity........ lost humanity Sturdy soldiers sent into the path for they are the righteous only to find out that when bodies are torn apart the pieces fall into the madness that creeps, Like the dark shadows that pave the way to another waste of the day where they are brushed aside so that the guilty minds that sent them their can sleep. So take all of your tired soldiers every country that thinks its better to kill then to reach out for some compromise that wont bleed Or get swallowed up into the same game that the human race has perpetuated into the hands of eternity the hands of eternity............onj


final symphony part 1
August 27, 2010, 2:40 pm
   ----
This will be my final symphony don't shed one tear don't she one tear for me complications running thru an open mind make it impossible to compromise. So sell your soul your very being for something that you can hold in your hand to show off for those whose impression you so desperately seek. Angels fly but they don't fly near me I don't live on the dark side so I sit here wondering what the hell is wrong with me. Cant they come just close enough to hear me breath or maybe so I can reach out and touch on of their wings. I wander in silent symphonies stumbling through life just trying to get enough air to breathe as masked images push me from side to side impeding my direction like a drunken fool stumbling out of the confines of normalcy..........jon
positive reflection
August 25, 2010, 11:00 pm
   ----
Looking at the things gone wrong the mirrors image is where I belong. You can't run from the reflection when it's your image that you see. I will never blame another for its on me I had to stand but cant seem to find my feet. In the end its my life so many times I've stumbled but then who doesn't take a fall.We get up and walk on as our ego slowly crawls back to us. Strength is born from the lessons that we learn taking the good ones and the bad ones to better reflect where we stand. Life is constant motion a wise man never sits still unless caught in silent contemplation no better way to take stalk of dreams unfulfilled. Can't be too hard on myself dwelling in silent self pity nobody likes a self absorbed person who wears life's troubles on their sleeve. So looking at the things gone wrong I will push aside this negativity and fill my soul with positive reflections of the world I want to see...........

Survive??????????here is my take
August 20, 2010, 2:02 pm
   ----
I was listening to NPR this morning and a woman came on the show who apparently has a beef with the Muslim religion. She named several various popular religions and stated that they unlike the Muslim religion basically her choice of religions did not have a culture of "us against the world" and "we will use violence if we have to so that we can prove this" attitude. My first thought was that this poor person was extremely limited on her knowledge of the various religions she had mentioned thru the course of history as the record clearly states that all of them at one time or another did and many still do pursue a if you aint with us you are burning in hell baby mentality. I am generalizing of course but no one can deny that with way to many religions it is a my way or the highway culture which is not helpful in my opinion to leading mankind to a place where everyone is created equal regardless of belief. I am writing this because I just had a weird concept pop into my head. What is the common denominator with most religions?????? They have a supreme being be it God, Allah, Jesus, Mohammad and untold others who have supposedly laid down the structure for those who follow an these beings are the guiding force in all aspects of that person who is a believer . I wonder what would happen if all religions across the planet put their gods on the back burner for awhile and re-assessed the viability, the positive impact, the compassion, the love without restrictions, the aspect of all children on this planet are created equal and it our duty to help them not with conditions of my way or burn but with the only condition being I am a compassionate human being and it is my duty to help any other human because that is the only way we are going to survive................Jon
my take baby

Hmmmmm let's see Europeans came to this part of the world ( North and South Amerika) and in the name of religion and greed. Slaughtered millions of indigenous peoples stole their land, built their fucking churches, countless places of worship where ever they wanted without so much as a thought as to whether or not it would offend the very people who had lost everything. Yet here we are Amerika the land of the free the home of the brave freedom of religion and all the other bullshit they spew. Telling one religion that they can't build a community center near ground zero because it will offend those who lost loved ones?????? Call me crazy but it seems kind of hypocritical on so many levels. Frankly if I lived in that neighborhood and this gave me a job opportunity you bet your sweet ass I would be in line for a job man!!!!! I am so fucking tired of the rich out of touch upper class in this country dictating what is and is not right based on nothing more than their own perverted self-centered beliefs. I feel sorry for all those who lost loved ones during 9/11 but come on man don't we have more important things to worry about right now this is an opportunity to show the world that this fucking country actually stands behind all the bullshit rhetoric that we spew across the world for one thing is painfully clear Amerika the world is watching and in many cases those who are watching are way more up to date on the issues then the millions of morons in this country that are spoon fed Fox News, Bill Oriley, Rush Limbaugh, Beck and the other idiots spewing their vile hatred................jon
proud to be just a working class fool
August 17, 2010, 9:28 am
   ----
The first emotion I felt when the bottom dropped out on our employment situation was one of defiance how the fuck could they do this?????This is bullshit!!!!!!!!! we are better off and who the hell needs them anyway!!!!!! things are going to turn around and we will be better off. Then as the days pass and the preverbal last day edges closer your mind has time to think about the reality of the situation. those once strong feelings of this is just a momentary blip on our financial situation we are going to kick ass!!!!!!! turn to sleepless nights waking up in a cold sweat wondering how the hell we arrived in this situation in the first place. One kid in college the other entering eighth grade and financial responsibilities to other family members and the once strong as steel we are invincible stance is peeled away like some cheap veneer on a kitchen countertop displaying a venerable where do we go from here I have let my family down core. I am now in the same boat as T who gave 18 years of blood sweat and tears to the educational system in Maine helping countless kids cope with life's greatest challenges. No I am only talking about the uncertain reality of losing a paycheck I have not done anything close to his healing a community but now we are in the same boat as far as financial opportunities. Our story is not unique in this country and across the world so why don't some of the thousands of fans we have here and across the planet chime in the fan journal is there for you I know there are many stories out there so think of this as a place to vent it will cost you nothing but the time it takes to make an entry and trust me you will feel better getting it off your chest. This band will never die because unlike any other band we are and always have had our pulse on the working class and frankly that will never change...................jon
remember the origional vision???????
August 16, 2010, 10:18 am

Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!! where do I begin............... 3 out of four of the core screamers family are unemployed. The more disturbing fact is that this is the same scenario carried out across Amerika and yet our countries agenda seems to be stopping a Muslim center near ground zero and stopping gay marriage? Along with keeping the tax breaks for the rich and a multitude of other secondary issues that have nothing to do with bringing this country back from one of the worst recessions in its history. Call me crazy but IS IT NOT TIME to stand up and say enough is enough? This is something THIS BAND HASA BEEN SPEWING to empty minds and ears for years now!!!!!!!!!!! yet here we are???????? I know you say fuck you Jon now you are affected you are crying like a little baby who needs mommies tit to suck on for comfort. I say to you my friend not so fast for this band has a long history of trying to motivate the complacent masses in this country in good times and bad because we are consistent and if you think I am full of shit then I dare you mother fucker to go back one year..... two...... how about five........ how about eight...... do I hear ten?????????? Yes that's right man go back in the dam band journal and see if we have ever wavered!!!!!!!!!! I fucking dare ya then let's put all this polarization bullshit aside and fucking stand together and make this country a vision of the potential, the ingenuity the passion the compassion the hope the freedom the respect they never say never attitude that has gotten us this far ( not that the system was, is, or will be perfect) but seriously let's get back to the original vision..............noj
its on man......

i know someone who has worked for over 25 years for the same company and who has the top division in the country and has done such a good job of building a team that the corporate brain trust has decided to eliminate this persons job. I am an asshole for not being more compassonate for the millions who are suffering this same bullshit scene around the country but tune into this site because I am going to rant baby and I suggest T does the same thing its time amerika to stand up and say enough is enough...........by the way I am not an Obama hater rich whitey on the other hand watch yo fuckin ass man............jon
A more cohesive take on the band n where we are headed
August 2, 2010, 9:35 am
   ----
I picked up my guitar for the first time in weeks today. I have to admit that since the day Bobby and I split and we stopped playing out on Tuesday nights it has been tougher than I ever thought it would be. At this point I need to put another band together. I have to say it seems strange to call me and bobby a band because it was just the two of us, but countless times people would say that we sounded like a band which I am very proud of. However I need to get T down before I put together another band but he is in the process of writing a book and he needs to put all his spare time into that project and we will see what happens when he gets it done. I am hoping it will be a best seller T certainly has the talent. In the meantime I am looking for a songwriting partner who is mainly a good composer able to transpose the many melodies, and to help finish some of the I have lyrics to go with them that I have rumbling thru my brain waiting to be heard. So I guess you could say that once again Shadow Screamers is in transition. I hope our fans will travel with us on this new chapter and I promise I am going to be more active on the site and T will chime in when his busy schedule allows and his computer frustrations are fixed. There will also be new music posted as that is the main purpose and reason for our existence as a band. After all it has to be about the music blended with some lyrics that we hope will make you think and start to look at the world in a different way.................jon
UPDATE 101
July 31, 2010, 2:29 pm
   ----
BIG CHANGES ARE GOING ON WITH SHADOW SCREAMERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! First I am thinking about changing the name IT IS ABOUT TIME I DID THIS MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! now on to what is happening.............. Bobby the talented but troubled drummer I have been working with for the last two years is not longer with the band. And I am happy to say that....... T is putting all his efforts towards writing a book which I hope will blow up the best sellers list and set him for life!!!!! he has done so much for countless people and hopefully the book will be his payoff. However I cannot wait on the sideline and so I am hopefully going to work with another songwriter that I have known for awhile and together we can hopefully get the multitude of ideas I have had swirling round my brain consolidated into a mixture of what he does and what I do. SO BY ALL MEANS KEEP ON CHECKING INTO THIS CRAZY BAND TO BE NAMED LATER AND IN THE MEAN TIME KEEP ON FUCKING ROCKING NEVER LET THOSE MINDLESS PUPPETS WHO DOMINATE THE MEDIA TELL YOU WHAT THEY THINK BECAUSE IF YOU TAKE AWAY THE TELA-PROMPTER WHAT DO YOU HAVE .....................JON
I WONDER PART 1

1 I wonder.................. A BALCK MAN WAS ECLECTED TO THE HIGHEST OFFICE IN AMERIKA IN A TIME WHEN THE RICH WHITE POWERS THAT BE KNEW IT WAS GOING TO TAKE MORE THAN FOUR YEARS TO BRING AROUND THIS COUNTRY .......CAUGHT UP IN THE DEEP DEPTHS OF BLIND GREED, DECEPTIVE MANIPULATON, UNDER-REGULATION SPREADING FALSE FEAR WHICH IN TURN LEAD TO THE WATERING DOWN OF THE BILL OF RIGHTS A CORNER STONE OF THIS NATION....... WHICH BY THE WAY ALMOST NO ONE MENTIONE......... AND ALL THE WHILE STANDING BY WHILE RICH WHITE AMERIKA WAS TAKING MORE THAN WE COULD POSSIBLE AFFAORD TO PAY............... AND IN SO DOING WAS SETTING UP THE TOKEN IN THE WHITE HOUSE FOR AN EPIC FALL FROM GRACE......... I WONDER WHY WE ARE STANIDING BY LETTING THE RICH WHITE MUTHERFUCKERS WHO RULE THIS NATION GET AWAY AGAIN AND AGAIN WITH THE SAME PLAN OF RICH WHITE DOMINATION I WONDER YES I WONDER......................JON
funny but this band has been pointing this shit out for years and years man and the world i ready for a new voice........SHADOW SCREAMERS!!!!

So I see on Dateline tonight they are doing an hour long piece on the apparent poverty in Amerika something this band has been ranting about from the earliest days of this journal its been years and years. then last week we had yet another in a long endless list of racial bullshit that this cuntry ignores but it is like a fucking rip-current man just ask the untold thousands that have been sucked into it. My point is that this band has been standing up and along with many other issues standing up and making a stand..... meanwhile our music is being downloaded like crazy across the planet yet we cant break into the next level???? is'nt their someone out there with the fucking balls to take a chance on this band and give us what we need to be heard????? check us out I ask for nothing other then an honest chance to take this band to the next level I promise I will give my blood sweat and tears to make it happen.........jon
what?????????

grasp a moment hold it in your hand then watch as it slips into the pile that you have so carefully stacked up as the days pass. nobody knows only those who think might care but only if they are searching for the truth discarding what hurts and holding on to what comforts an tired mind, a tired mind tired mind so it is I leave you with this tired mind...........jon
If you thought I wascrzy then den how bout now mfuckars

I taste the blood as the knife gently lays open the skin on my tongue like a filet for anxious hungry tongues ..............tension is released as it spreads open the wound and then the blood seeps into my mouth....... blood has a funny taste earthy not overpowering...... yet it has no distinct taste ......maybe because it holds the key............. I shake my head in silent discouragement for after 52 years of silent reflection I don't have a clue as to the key that shows me what I can do to facilitate change.......... so I blindly stumble and fall blind to a solution but ripped apart by the reality that permeates a world with so much potential yet no clue how to make it.................noj
My opinion on how to sift thru the bullshit media
July 24, 2010, 12:02 pm
   ----
Grasp the concept embraced the dream while shallow minds chase sallow dreams.......... Forget those who say it can't be and loose those who will not see for open minds will always hold the key........ will you be blind guided by words from silly puppets that spew words creating false realities all the while dragging you into what they want what they believe in the end it is you and you alone who has the mind yes the mind to sift thru the bullshit and find the truth for the truth always lies in wait for those who take the time to find it.........................
