[18 Jul 2008|07:08pm] shellac most days I want to wake up in 1985 to my earliest memories and do everything again. Every day I hope that's what death is like, and not just the lightswitch flipped off like I think it will be. 3 | post comment

[15 Jul 2008|04:11pm] shellac I got yelled at by 4 unique people at work today, and a 5th yelled at me last week. It's frustrating because in the land of the brainless, the man with half a brain (me) is not king. The more ridiculous part is that people yell at work. Anyway, I'm not a big fan of yelling. post comment

[15 Jul 2008|11:21am] justinoronos lost a little bit of weight and my healthy eating habits are going great. I'm also quitting smoking. 6 years of smoking has done a number on me and it's time I move on. I'm only 23 and I can feel my health deteriorating. my recent blood work shows I need to change now or I'll probably live a short life. healthy living here I come. recently i became an RA, and i just got word that i'll be placed in the freshman dorm (which is the largest dorm the academy has.)  At first i was kinda pissed because i'll be either that jackass who breaks up parties, or a babysitter. but now, i really don't care. i think it'll be fun. plus it takes a lot of weight off my mom's shoulders. I'll get free housing and food, and since my i've done really well in school, all my grants have pretty much taken care of my tuition. I had knee recunstruction surgery two weeks ago, and of course it was so fucked up that they couldn't totally repair it. But at least it won't pop out of place everyday. it's starting heal nicely, and I can put a little weight on it now. it's crazy, they had to pull tendons from other parts of my leg to fix the ligament, and snip some of my cartlidge because it was hanging outside my knee area.

[14 Jul 2009|01:22pm] polaroid_deth we're going to make it. i'm going to make something of myself. you're going to make it. you've got to make something of yourself. we're going to make it. we've got to make something of ourselves. i'm going to make it. we're going to make something of ourselves. this is not a drill. i've decided it's much easier to go through life with no one understanding you then to ever have anyone know anything about you. let the veil of darkness come down post comment

[13 Jul 2008|05:02am] yourbulletsfly I want to get a job I hate Its easier for me to get because I dont need much schooling I can get it with just testing I dont have the time for school anymore I'm a father Its worth it to me because I can support a family Being able to do that far surpasses enjoying what I do I still admire people that love what they do, dont get me wrong But Being able to support my son and the love of my life far surpasses feeling like a hypocrite or hating what I do. 4 | post comment

[13 Jul 2008|04:39am] yourbulletsfly _insert before previous post_ Being a father has made me realize why people have jobs they hate i dont have a bad job at all i dont make as much money i wish, but its easy i sit in a cubicle all day i still hate it but i'm a dad now job has opportunities they just dont occur as much as i wish but i hate it anyways i can come in, and leave when i want i work with good people friendly and everything my dog ate my glasses i dont have a drivers license when i get my glasses again i'm getting my license and i'm applying to be a CO, or a highway patrolman i've always hated cops and all, but i dont feel like a hypocrite planning on doing this i want to be able to support my son through out his life, as well as provide a good living for miri growing up i hated the way people told me to be but they never told me why i should be the way they wanted they wanted me to be like that because if i wanted the life i want now i need to do things i dont want to when i was in highschool i wanted to go to india or something and be a monk and meditate and live a minimalist life. i never thought about having a son or anything. having a son has changed my life more than i ever could have imagined i will do anything i can to support him _thoughts cutting out again_ 1 | post comment

[13 Jul 2008|04:12am] yourbulletsfly I dont consider myself a failure I'm no success I have a 2 1/2 year old I think I can be a good dad regardless I have made many mistakes in my life I think all the mistakes i've made in my life have given me ammo to steer my boy in his own good direction i dont believe in any "right" direction for anyone but i hope the things i've learned in life can help me relate to him as well as the things i have experienced i hope that the fact that while he is growing as a young boy and i'm still growing as a young man might help us relate better than me and my father i love my dad but I've never in my life felt comfortable really being me around him, or my step mom aside from close friends and girlfriends and my mom before she died, i've never felt comfortable being who i really am around anyone _cut_ My thoughts are falling short, I hope I can finish this later Its been a while since I have vented on my own and i forgot how healthy it feels post comment

[11 Jul 2008|07:09pm] los_tigres yesterday i climbed out of the rut in my head i've been stuck in for so long. i felt like me a few years ago. fearless and reckless. maybe its the way i felt just a few months ago. i'm not sure. its been long enough to forget that i had that part of me. and as quick as it came over me its gone again. i've always appreciated people who point out when i have something in my teeth or a booger in my nose instead of watching me figure it out on my own. fuck. i can't even think straight right now. a mixture of emotions is keeping me from being able to enjoy anything. i've been called out and i'm fucking speechless. sometimes i wish people would lead the way so i could follow. when you've done all the work to carve that path why would you want someone like me following you? being a tag along and feeling like you're just bothering people is never any fun. i've known for a long time that i follow my own path but its odd how i've been going about it. hopping on the backs of others from point a to point b. before we get to the destination though i'm back on my own trail. going my own way until i come across unlikely people who offer to give me a lift. i'm getting pretty good at disappearing before they know i'm gone. they turn around and its like i was never there. i hate goodbyes. i don't speak unless spoken to. i'll admit it. its shady. how do you trust someone who lives their life like this? friends with people you hate. and avoiding conflict and responsibility at all costs. someone you don't hear from for long periods of time and then when you least expect it they show up wanting to be your friend. i don't know anyone else like this. i can't explain why but this is just how i operate. this is how my mind works. i'm not trying to fuck people over. i'm not trying to go behind peoples backs. i'm just getting things done my way. not by explaining myself to you but by listening to you trusting what you say about yourself. listening to what others say about themselves and trusting them. all i can really say to you and to everyone else is that you're right. you're all right. no matter what you say and what you do i still like you. post comment

the red isn't the red we painted, it's just rust [09 Jul 2008|02:58am] fancyclaps [ music | the mountain goats - moon over goldsboro ] Fireworks used to be my favorite thing. Slowly they have faded into these weird lonely explosions. Question: Just because someone has done a lot of bad stuff, does that mean they can't go back to being a good person? Sort of like a born again virgin, or a drug addict coming clean. Does it ever work that way, or do people really forever view you as a tainted being? Your thoughts, please. 5 | post comment
