| 2:06 am - apparently, there is "no carressing"... |
so, we started to pack today. some cds, some books, random knick-knacks and bric-a-brak...things started coming down off the walls, and the place is looking really empty because of the bare walls. it's actually kind of freaky. the time change fucked me up...i've been super tired all day, and now, when i should be sleeping, i'm still awake, fucking with things even more...suck.i'm supposed to be getting my glasses sometime in the next few days. i've been the only one with 20/20 vision in my family forever, and now... i can't even pull out the "clark kent/superman" joke when people mix me up with my brother. i guess i've become mild mannered...it's realy nice to drive a car that doesn't have wind whistling through it as i drive. it's alos nice when it doesn't rain inside the vehicle that i'm driving...this makes me happy.my tattoo is healingup really nice, though it iches like a motherfucker right now. if yr on ginny's friends list, then you've already seen pictures of mine, and hers. tattoobloody tattoocurrent mood:  exhausted |

| 2:04 pm - an open letter to a once good friend |
| Xxxxx,a part of me wants to say a very big very loud "FUCK YOU". another part of me really wants to know what it was that i ever did to you. but it seems that none of that really matters now, and it probably never did.i looked up to you, and thought of you as the second older brother that fate and circumstance never gave to me. i loved you, and now on the opposite side of that coin, part of me hates you as well.i hate you for all of the hipocritical things that you have done over the years. for all of the times you did shitty things to me and i wrote them off as "things he does because he never had a little brother to shit on before". for all the times you made me feel guilty for things i didn't do or things that i did. for all the times i ended up sharing your disdain and cynicism becasue i sought your approval {i hate myself even moreso for that one}. for all the times that, somehow, i didn't feel that i was good enough.i hate how you always bitched about things and never really seemed to try to make them better. i hate how you bitched about my brother and how i thought it was because you cared for him, but now it seems that it was because you didn't like him more than you actually did like him. and now, it makes me wonder if you said the same kinds of things about me when i wasn't around. i hate how you are all talk and no action, and i hate how i shared in that with you.you are a jaded miserable person.i never did anything to you to warrant this kind of behaviour. there have been times in the past where we haven't spoken for what seemed like extended periods of time, and in those times, i ended up missing you because somehow, i never remembered all the things that i hated and only remembered the good things. but it seems like i should have remembered those things, and maybe left well enough alone because now all i see are those things that i don't like and it has tainted some of my most fond memories.i can't even count how many times i have defended you to people. and now, i kind of wish that i could take back all of the times i had said "you just don't know him, he's a really great guy". because now, i don't feel that way and i'm realising that maybe i never should have felt the way i did. maybe all of those people were right, and maybe they did know you and i was just too blind to see you as you actually were.i don't want to start a fight, i don't want to hate you...i just want to be done with you.numb,PwThomascurrent mood: enraged and hurt |

| 8:11 pm - so...much...boredom... |
| i got to work today at a little after one o'clock pm. i started at one thirty pm. i have done almost nothing the whole time i have been here. i have worked on two cars for a grand total of 45 minutes "in-car" time.i thank the higher powers that i have only one hour left.i am hungry even though i've eaten twice today {three times if you count the bowl of BooBerry cereal i had this morning}. and i am tired. my day at work has consisted of those two cars, reading 80+ pages of the novel i'm reading, eating twice, and trying very hard not to fall asleep.i did start forming the concepts for a new song, and that makes me happy...another one to add to the list for the 3rd album {even though i never really released the 1st album, and the 2nd effort is not yet finished}. it's still nice to ahve the creative juices flowing again...gotta run.current mood: bored |

| 8:35 pm - i think there's music in my arm...and it's very angular. |
| so, i had one of the greatest musical experiences of my life last night.we went to schuba's to see her space holiday perform and it was better than i had even dreamed it would be. if i had to recommend only one artist for anyone i know to check out, it would be Her Space Holiday. "the young machines" is {and has been since the first listen} slowly changing the way i look at/listen to music. it has brought things to life for me that i don't think that any other musician has touched before...it is beautiful and amazing.(her space holiday) has been responsible for some truly gorgeous, heartbreaking music. -mojoso, if any of you have not heard them, check them out...if need be, i will get something to you so you can hear them.well, that was the only really big thing that has happened to me since i last posted.on tuesday i got a tetnis{?} shot, you know, so i don't get lock-jaw and DIE. and my arm still fucking hurts. they said it would be "sore" for a couple of days, and it actually hurts if i move it wrong. i know what you're thinking "well then, don't move it wrong."it's not that simple, i mean, i have to get into these crazy positions for work {the peanut gallery will kindly keep the remarks to themselves...or you can comment if you want} and lifting stuff can hurt sometimes...it sucks. {/rant about arm}top five songs of the moment:5.the pale - space to move4.the faint - i disappear3.heliosequence - s.o.s.2.keane - somewhere only we know1.her space holiday - japanese gumcurrent mood: elated |

| 3:18 am - randomness of late... |
| it seems like it's been so long...yet i've gone longer. well, i'm still alive, in case any of you wanted to know.lets see recently...i went to estrojam at the metro to see the gossip, all girl summer fun band and pretty girls make graves. all told, it was a really great show.today...tuesday i mean...later on, we're going to see chuck palahnuik {i think it's at the harold washington library...but i might be wrong}. that should be a good time.thursday, i'll be at shuba's. i'm so excited! i get to see Her Space Holiday. they are sooo good, i can't wait.not really much else going on. i had my yearly review at work, and did rather well. i got into the highest pay increase bracket during my review, which means a 7% raise. that might not seems like much, but that shit adds up. speaking of raises, i still haven't heard back about whether or ot i passed MECP. if those bitches would have given me my passing results on time, it would have been 7% of a larger number cause i would have gotten a raise for MECP before my percentage raise...oh well, at least i've got another raise coming to me before the holidays, that'll really help out.can't sleep...even though i want to...this sucks........current mood: tired but not sleepy... |

| 8:23 pm - the world has officially gone INSANE |
| the other day i saw a commercial for low carb dog food...{see headline}.why does everyone in this world want some shit for free? i mean, i enjoy getting something for free, lets face it...everyone does. but i had a couple of people come into work today wanting me to "hook them up" with things that we might have, but don't really sell, or asking me to pretty much give away the services that i get paid to perform {no, not like sexual favours, you perverts}.in a related story, my car got broken into...again. they took my visor cd holder which had mostly burned mp3 cds in the visible layer, but had some really great stuff in the other layer {BAD II, dismemberment plan, echo & the bunnymen, tripping daisy, material issue, the impossibles, wax, the wannadies, superchunk, fountains of wayne, etc}. and, truth be told, that pretty much soured my day.the nice thing was that a guy came by later last night {introduced himself as Miguel, a neighbour from across the alley} and he brought it back. he told me that he saw what i refer to as "the universal perp" {a kind of tall black male in his twenties or early thirties} by my car and scared him off. as the guy was running away, he dropped my stuff.i was really happy to get my cds back and i thanked him several times during our conversation...then, he asked for money. well shit, i don't have any money...we gave him a beer, it was the best we could do.but it just frosts me that he wanted to be compensated for doing somthing nice for someone else..."the right thing" is you will. oh, and did i mention that he told me he was looking to score a bag of weed with the money he was asking for? oh, and he also asked me if i had any weed {i'm assuming that he would have taken the weed in leiu of monetary compensation, but who knows}.this was just a bittersweet ending to a really bad week. things just haven't been going too well for me with work, and i've been sore as hell lately. something better start looking up a bit.oh, and i tlaked to my dad tonite. after telling him about the car again, he told me that we really should start looking for another place to live, as he is noticing that the area isn't even as good as we might have thought previously {he's a cop, and has been asking around a little bit}.well, that's all for now kids. stay tuned, as the days and weeks ahead might have a few more posts in them than i've had in this recent past.current mood: damn |
