1:57 am	mmhmmm so i've started moving. Almost done really. I wish i could say i like it so far. It's early yet. However not having a computer or internet there really is less than thrilling. It doesn't feel like home yet. I dont think it will tomorrow when i give Johnny my rent check either. I'm wondering if maybe this was a bad idea. I got off work tonight just in time for Johnny and G to be going to bed. The party never seems to stop now does it? Thinking about investing in a headset microphone for live shows. In part because the mic stand i use at practice has vanished and it part because its less cumbersome than stretching over. Maybe i should take the hint and come to terms with my inability to find pitch, but dammit i still want to try. Oh well. Tonight's been lame. 99.99999% of my friends have better things to do than hang out with me tonight. Rock. How depressing and lame is this post?

2:58 pm	getting older never felt so mediocre. so i look on this thing after months of not and i see that everyone is still lovesick or sick in love or moving the hell away. I just look around and see everyone growing out of here. I'm stuck. Part of it is envy and part of it is a lack of understanding. I just know that things keep changing yet I am still exactly the same. Here comes summer. Current Mood: listless (1 Comment |Comment on this)

5:36 am	Sick, Tired, Defeated I'm not the most informed or articulate person on any of your friend's lists. I just know that when MSNBC and Fox News called Ohio for Bush before CNN caved, i felt the hammer fall. They don't have to worry about reelection anymore. Democrats don't have a strong leader to keep them together. Plus Bush is operating on a "mandate of the people". We have legislative back-tracking at an obscene degree with no sign of change. I am scared. And whether or not the machines in Ohio were rigged, he still got the popular vote by 3.5 Mil. John Stewart even said it: "We did everything right and we still got our asses handed to us." I've lost a big chunk of my faith in America and in people from this election. Mom's been reliving her days under Nixon of late. Even at his reelection it was out that he might have had something to do with Watergate. At this point i don't know what it's going to take to make people see that Bush is in the wrong. No scandal or atrocity has made people see yet and i can't imagine what more he can do. We saw the ground work being laid and it didnt set off bells in half the country's heads. If he isnt perceived as a villain now, will he ever be? And i've had a cold/flu type thing since election night, which has done nothing for my mood i can tell you. I'm scared for my mom. The US already getting paralleled to the SS by Morrissey. If there is even a hint of pink triangles we're out. Escapism has worked best so far. Whether its screwing with Photoshop, getting crunk off NyQuil, or playing video games (HALO 2 TUESDAY BITCHES), it's made the whole thing seem a little less real.

Those crazy people in the land of the Rising Sun sure do think outside of the box. http://msnbc.msn.com/id/5991032/ Other than that, not much to report. Gonna watch the new Star Wars Trilogy DVDs tonight so i can critique just how badly things have been changed. Eh, Greedo's already shooting first so it can't be much worse... peace.

3:46 am	"i'm a blade man, man So my day was mediocre to good for the most part. Right up until midnight when i got a kitchen knife the size of Rambo's brandished in close proximity to my me, that is. So he has me and my coworker at knife point and has me clean out the registers and the safe and do all the stuff that goes with an armed robbery. Had us go into the bathroom and wait ten minutes so he could bolt with the loot and what not. Spent the next coupla hours with the cops and police reports and descriptions and all that. Credit to Stallings Police, they were on the scene in less than a minute when i placed the call to 911. So its almost 4 and i've just gotten home. Fuck this, i need a new job Word of advice...don't get fucking robbed. (5 Comments |Comment on this)

9:23 pm	"A fashion show is better than no show at all" top things on shit list: 1) Car still immobile because the alternator and power-steering belts just decided fall apart. 2) My own stupidity for diving into a swimming pool with my wallet and phone still in my pocket. Count it folks, we gots a winner here. However, these things don't really bother me. In fact, i'm not bothered at all for the moment save the down time between work and the band stuff. Things are good, can't complain 'bout anything. Got a lot of things off my chest early this month and im feeling pretty positive about things in general. But don't think for a minute that i'll give up being a cynical jackass, its just too familiar now. The only reason i'm typing this is the fact that i have no car and no phone numbers to call (since they were all in my phone and i used speed dial all the time). Last week i played frisbee golf and got eaten by mosquitoes. It was a lot of fun. Today we wrote a song and re-wrote another one. This EP is gonna be friggin sweet. Recording later this month and hopefully talking to some people about distro and pressing so we dont have to. Also got an Asheville show this weekend for the Bele Chere Festival they are having. Apparently they have a festival for everything up there. I'm just curious how well we'll compete with Dave Matthews. Eh, whatever. Friggin bored, i'm gonna go mess with my xbox that i havent gotten my money's worth out of yet. Rock Rock on!

2:09 am	"cats and dogs are coming down" eh, usual stuff today. Slept 'til 4pm and went to work. Worked and what not. Felt crappy for most of the day. It started last night with the last conversation i had with Znut. Got myself all down and shitty blah blah blah and it carried over into today. Well at about 11pm, Ryan and Laura show up out of the blue. It 180'd my day. Thanks guys. Nothing else really to report outside of odd shimmies, attracting insects according to our personalities, and swishing cigarettes. We exchanged numbers and i invited her out to the show this weekend. Hope she's bored enough to come. That'd be nice. I got her number. Too late to call tonight. Maybe tomorrow. And maybe i'll get those highlights i always wanted. Think i'm joking?

7:11 am	"What was my sin?" "Messing with me an' mine. Get to it." its morning on a friday and i havent gone to bed yet. I feel pretty good right now. Some Uncle Ben's Rice heating up in the microwave and waiting for Znut to call me and tell me how awesome book 2 of Preacher is. So i'm killing time on here. I want to say that i love my band. My band is fucking awesome. I love and respect every single one of those gents completely and utterly. I love that they're my friends and they let me be theirs til they find a drum machine cheap enough to replace me. Ding! Rice is done. I was thinking about going to see Scapegoat in Gboro...but Hitz has mono and i don't know how that is transmitted person to person. Undecided. I've also been really busy with work and chilling with the usual suspects to sit and stew by myself...which is excellent. I also finished American Gods a couple nights ago and i have decided that Neil Gaimen is the Midas Man of literature. Next to Matt Muthafuckin Ross of course. Yesterday Ryan and i were planning on hanging out with this girl Laura and do absolutely nothing. Unfortunately she wasn't up for it. I think me being along played a part in her decision. Or else i still think that everyone's actions revolve around me. Not quite sure. Either way it bothers me a little more than i think its supposed to. Aww fuck it. To Read List: Invisibles Watchmen Trainspotting Porno Smoke and Mirrors I wonder if she ever listened to the Postal Service like i told her to. Damn. Ding! Food time.

6:29 am	"never the two shall meet..." Spent Mother's Day with mom watching the Survivor finale with her. She eats that stuff up and knows i can't stand it...but i knew she'd prefer that to going out and doing anything. So we watched it and made fun of it and i think it made her night. Good deal. I went to Atlanta last weekend for their little Midtown Music Festival that they do. 3 days of music and i think i really only wanted to hear about 4 hours of it. I went with Ryan and his girl Kimberly and her friend Jessica. We all had fun getting rained on and sunburned and beating the crap out of eachother. Foo Fighters brought the obligatory rock. The Strokes and The Fire Theft were also entertaining. Even Story of the Year put on a decent show. I think i could have lived without the rest of it. Fuel was a total GNR ripoff...leather pants and all. Hoobastank played every song you would have wanted to hear of theirs (assuming you WANTED to hear them), and Finger Eleven was less than impressive. And while the idea of seeing Journey was interesting...actually seeing Journey was far less appealing. I will say the biggest suprise was seeing Ween. They were damn classic. A song consisting of a 4 measure musical phrase and then chanting "AIDS!" in the rests. Fucking stellar performance. Played a show on the 8th at a church. I actually had fun. For some reason every show where i expect it to suck completely i end up having a splendid time. I mean it wasn't the best, but it was by no means the worst. I think this one and the one in the bar in Greensboro are tied when it comes to obliterating all preconceptions of shittyness. It was really cool seeing friends come out as well. People who rarely if ever come to see us unless they're playing with us. "C'mon dude, it was free!" Fair enough. Also received compliments from a couple guys whose opinions i respect and hold quite highly. Thanks, it means a lot. Afterwards we went to Drew's and Mike's for a little get together. By the time G, Jessica, and myself arrived, everyone was pretty well trashed. I drank some beers for the first time in a while and just shot the shit with everyone. We compiled a pretty hefty list of famous siblings ranging from various mediums including movies, music, sports, and writing. The only criteria was that they couldn't be fictional. All in all a good day that i wish could happen more often. Every time we play a show i'm reminded of how often we aren't playing shows. I want to do this forever. Today (Mother's Day), i slept til 7pm before getting up and watching tv with moms. It would have been otherwise uneventful but for the fact that i saw "her" online. After working through the pit in my stomach (loser) i actually IMed her. First, let me say that almost a week ago i got the news that her fiance` had dumped her and taken his ring back. Poetic justice no? I got a good laugh out of it, as sad as that is. A small victory even though it had nothing to do with me. Anyway, so IMed her. I was nice - almost too nice - i think. You be the judge. ZildjianO0: So how's things? *Her*: i thought you hated me ZildjianO0: not saying i dont ZildjianO0: just asking *Her*: well...youll be happy to know that i was dumped *Her*: been debating on calling to tell you so you could gloat or something ZildjianO0: well i'm sorry to hear that...it sucks when it happens *Her*: yeah...sorry ZildjianO0: probably best that you didnt ZildjianO0: i wasn't asking for an apology *Her*: what, get married? ZildjianO0: ...call *Her*: you deserve alot of them *Her*: ah *Her*: why? I love being hung up on ZildjianO0: im sure ZildjianO0: not my proudest moment...but one of my stronger ones *Her*: which moment in particular? ZildjianO0: well...the last conversation we had.. *Her*: ahh in matts car **actually it was Brooks'...bitch. heh** ZildjianO0: that'd be it *Her*: ive been a really awful person to you...forever *Her*: i apoligize ZildjianO0: heh... ZildjianO0: i wasnt looking to do this on the internet... *Her*: i wish we could be friends...but ya know, i understand bitterness now *Her*: me either...i have an exam at 8:00 in the morning and Im studying ZildjianO0: well i'll leave you to that.. ZildjianO0: i just figured if i didnt IM you now i wouldnt see you on for another 6 months *Her*: call me sometime? I see you on all the time, but you are always away ZildjianO0: im a busy guy *Her*: i understand ZildjianO0: and i dont think i should call *Her*: i know *Her*: youd probably be really mean...i wouldnt really enjoy that ZildjianO0: yeah well...partly why i didnt rush to get in contact with you after i heard about what happened ZildjianO0: no one needs to be kicked when they're down *Her*: you heard what happened? *Her*: from who? ZildjianO0: not really an issue... ZildjianO0: word travels ZildjianO0: leave it at that *Her*: i dont know anybody in charlotte anymore *Her*: except _____. ZildjianO0: i see her on every once in a while ZildjianO0: she says she's doing ok *Her*: anyways..i didnt know you had heard. glad you didnt call to gloat. thanks for that ZildjianO0: im not one to do it...i'd probably fuck it up anyway *Her*: riiight ZildjianO0: besides...there's no moral high ground once that happens (smiley with shades) *Her*: but its nice to sometimes hold your head higher than the other person ZildjianO0: absolutely *Her*: and its soooo easy to be mean...believe me i know. so thanks ZildjianO0: no problem *Her*i: i really have to go though...talk to you later? ZildjianO0: not soon *Her*: i see ZildjianO0: just thought i'd check on you ZildjianO0: and you're well...and you got your apology in ZildjianO0: you should be good for a while ZildjianO0: but i gotta run here ZildjianO0: so g'night to you *Her*: good night Sorry this thing is so long. I only posted this because i need to hear what i'm supposed to do. I figure just leave it alone. But it still needs showmanship...or maybe i'm just reaching. Who knows. I had a scathing comment for everything she said, but i bit my tongue. I'm too damn nice. I still want to see her cry. So after that Znut came over and we had a good laugh and smoked some cigarettes. Uneventful end for a marginally uneventful day. Now i must sleep so i can pretend to work tonight. Its been a pretty satisfactory couple of weekends and i'm glad i was surrounded by good people. I forget how good i have it sometimes. Thanks to those who care, and those that don't keep things in perspective. Until next time... Current Mood: actually pleased...wha?!

5:52 am	over before it begins Well...after a couple of outings with the girl i mentioned earlier i think i've come to the conclusion that she's a nice girl. What does that mean exactly? It means that i have no real interest in her romantically. There's no spark, no kinetic energy of any kind really. Granted, its probably my closed off nature that has impeded this from seeing any kind of fruition. But at the same time i dont think she has what it takes to really snag me. I think i might be broken.... On top of that, I've been pondering a notion that while has potential to be cathartic, could end up ruining my shit even more. This notion is none other than confronting the one who wrecked my shit in the first place on neutral ground and trying to achieve some kind of closure. Face to face, one on one conversation. It is fucking terrifying. But it might be the only step i can take to finally wash away the last 4 years and move forward with my life without her rattling around in my head. However it could easily reopen old wounds and drive me further into myself to the point where i might just give up. Give up. I've asked friends for advice on the matter and they both have left me with the idea that this is screaming badness. But i don't want to wonder years from now what could have been. Now don't misinterpret that as me wanting to rekindle something between us. Far from it. This is a purely selfish act to turn over this bag of self loathing and drain it. It has been posed to me: "what if she doesn't care? Nothing hurts more than the pang of indifference." Absolutely true...but i think she's done the worst she can do to me. I just need to cut her loose from myself, even if she already has. Besides, she could easily refuse any kind of contact. There is also the possibility that she could offer a simple apology. That after i've laid all this on her she comes back with a simple "I'm sorry" and deflates the whole thing. Well, then i'd have that at least instead of the image of her taillights fading from view with her arm out the window waving goodbye. Part of me wants to do this to put it behind me, and part of me wants to do this to see if i still have enough sway over her to hurt her one last time before its all said and done. Malicious as it may be, it might be all i can do at this point. I don't know. I just don't know. This whole affair requires a finale. It needs something that i can remember vividly and in technicolor that this chapter is over. The phone bit doesn't cut it for me. There is closure there, and things are almost poetic as it stands. However it needs a bit of showmanship to it. We'll see. I'm still mulling this over. Meantime, i have some sleeping and thinking to do. Maybe Neil Gaimen can offer some answers...

5:17 am	She sho' can dance I have a car and i am driving it and i suck at it! Eh...damn manual transmission and their god damn god damn. I used said car tonight to go out to Concord Mills (Jillian's to be precise) and meet *gasp* a girl. It was a fix up from Ryan and Kimberly. Now i am going to do the only sensible thing and make a list of her pros and cons for all to judge her by. This list is completely biased from my perspective and has no basis on facts as i barely know her (if you can even call it "knowing"). So here it is in no particular order: Pros: 1) She sho' can dance. Man...chick can move her ass damn nicely. 2) She has a nose piercing and a tattoo on her back (maybe more, havent seen them) 3) She buys guitars. She's a musician, she has good taste in guitars (a friggin BC Rich) and its something we can talk about. 4) She's a senior in college. She's not bogged down with highschool bullshit or drama that she'll put on me. And she's older, so i dont feel nearly as creepy being attracted to a girl. 5) She's flexible...neat. 6) She's thin....double neat. Yes i'm shallow and a horrible person. 7) She's an artist. Also cool. Being a former artist i can pretend to know what she's talking about better than some. Cons: 1) In college...has lots of shit to talk about that i dont want to hear ie test scores, class stuff, homework whatever. I'm not in school so i shouldnt have to deal with it. Thats not exactly how i feel about that...its just that i have difficulty relating to someone who has these concerns. 2) Regular use of "like" and "um". Hopefully this can be ignored. 3) Surrounded by potential "adult drama". Half brothers getting out of jail and what not. Baaaad juju. This is all i can think of at the moment...we shall see. Most likely a bust. But what have i got to lose at this point? Its this or Montana with the Nut...and i'll be damned if i'm moving to Montana. Maybe Idaho....mmm...potatos.... Aaaaanyway, i hope this is a sign that things might be changing. As long as i dont end up at Dance clubs everynight....shudder shudder shudder. G'night you crazy kids and your rap music.

2:12 am	there's something about a girl that can cry on cue... situation normal here. Not much has changed since the last entry. I'm getting migraines now...thats fun. I've had a persistent headache since Wednesday night with no signs of relenting. But i cant afford to go to the doctor and get a check up or anything, so i guess i have to deal or something. Finally started As I Lay Dying. Its a difficult read to say the least. Its hard to have to choose between that and the Kingdom Come graphic i got a little while ago. Sigh... Mom had a great time in Costa Rica with lots of pics to share. She blew up at me a couple days ago about how i need to be more reliable about when i get off work. I just need a car so she'll get off my ass. She has to pick me up see, and she likes to be in bed before midnight. She might get a job in Florida. Which means i need to get self sufficient double-time. Hopefully Johnny's car will be fixable for cheap and i can finally start driving again and move past last July. The idea Will moving to Wilmington has me a little more than nervous. After relying on him for 2 years, for him to up and leave would definitely leave me feeling quite up a creek. I feel bad for G, who is the go to guy for pretty much everyone and their mother when it comes to people's relationship problems. Like he doesnt have enough of his own shite to worry about. I wish i'd have called Matt like i meant to. He had his surgery today and i wanted to talk to him. Dont know what i would have said, but he's someone i've taken for granted. Probably would have just given him more shit about his lack of healing factor and he would have called me on being an illiterate fuck. But its how we roll. I need to start meeting more girls.

4:43 am	help me rhonda you mean i still have one of these things?! Eh. I've been working a lot lately. I'm settling into a routine of work, hang out at Will's, come home and wallow in self pity while watching romantic comedies. Jesus Christ. I haven't played in a long while and things are starting to feel worse. I'm getting so tired lately. Tired of waking up in the morning and doing whatever it is i do to pass 12 hours before falling asleep again. And now i'm tired of being tired. Every morning i stare into the mirror and watch myself slowly fall apart. Mom's out of town in Costa Rica for a few more days, so i get even more free reign of the place. I really hope she's having fun, she needs this desperately. I'm thinking i've turned into something of a disappointment to her. And i'm worried i'm never going to leave. It's been 8 months and i still can't let it go. And what makes it worse is knowing that she has. I think i'm becoming comfortable with not being happy. I've never been one to aim too highly for anything before...satisfaction could be one more notch i don't get to put on the belt. But things are good enough. I still get to eat and sleep of my own volition and i have the means to get me by. I just have one hope left and it depends on 4 other people...good luck. Watched Lost in Translation tonight with the guys..maybe i didn't grasp the gravity of their relationship. Or maybe me not recognizing love is an example of how far i've come from when i actually felt it last. As one guy i know put it..nothing "trips my trigger" anymore. I don't get excited about much...certainly not people. I want attention but not too much; Someone to impress but not belittle; Something to motivate me again. Tell me...what's my fucking motivation eh? I'm about as hopeful that things will work out as i am that the next Star Wars movie wont suck...not very. It's been 8 months and i still can't let her go.

7:31 pm	Keeping secrets of War in the Ambulance yesterday owned. Woke up and prepared for the evening's entertainment provided by Thursday, Thrice, and Coheed and Cambria. So i go and make flyers for our show with One Six and Amazin' Kid and then arrive at Grady Cole to a surprising $5 parking charge. So that sucks up all my cash on hand. After handing out over 200 flyers with the guys, we slowly make our way inside. I get up to the counter and slap down my debit card proudly and ask for two tickets. The guy looks at me blankly and informs me that they don't take cards and there isnt an ATM in sight. I look over and see Z-nut (my ride) receiving his ticket. Shit. Me and G are like....damn. Johnny loaned me a 20, and these girls all pitched in for another 18 to get us in. It was so amazingly generous of them. But i dont know who any of them were or how to pay them back. So after making it inside with the help of about 5 people, we milled around the place waiting for the show to start. Devon and I spent a lot of that time making fun of everyone from the "scene elite" to some greaser guy with slick hair and a biker jacket. Then phone ringing comes over the PA....Coheed's about to start up with their opening track from the new record. They rock the house, and it is good. The set is flawless. My only complaint is that they didn't play the Crowing, but with as little time as they had, they didnt need to play all their epics in one set. I saw Donnie from Far-Less out there, which was quite a welcome surprise. Chatted for mere moments and he was off to do god-knows-what to god-knows-who. Smoked a cigarette with Worm and made fun of the kids moshing to Coheed. I've been doing a lot of mocking lately. I think i've turned my assholeness up a notch. My verbal stabs are serrated now...neat. Rejoined G, Z-nut, and Will and the gang down on the floor for Thrice. Thrice played everything i wanted to hear. And it was excellent. I really get the feeling that my band could be like that live. And we are when we're on our shit. but it was great to watch and listen to them give it their all. They sure weren't much for talking though. And twice they have been through Charlotte and not played the song that is their commercial winner "All That's Left". And for that, i say "cool". When the lights went out for Thursday, you knew shit was goin down. They opened with track 1 off War All the Time and the strobes and spotlights went nuts. They had the best mix by far as well. It was just really a quality performance. Jet Black New Year just came off perfect. They even exploded confetti over the crowd during the last break. Slick. They closed with the title track and i learned some new info. The cellist from Cursive and Jonah of Far both appear on the recorded version of that song. Sweet. Oh yeah, and they rocked it. Since Thursday was the only band i hadn't seen before, i was most impressed by them and their energy. But overall the night was wonderful and after the show we made our way to Liberty East for their fine dinning. 6 halves equals 4 wholes..no-wait-3. Dammit. Came home and hung out with Ryan and played some games. Then i watched Jackie Brown and went to bed. Good fucking day to you.
