i woke up today and realized something - I'm a great catch for girls right now. I work two jobs, have my own place, I'm trustworthy, in a sweet band, and caring. I might not be in the best shape but I'm not fat like everyone else.
So I guess I need to get out and find new girls. I hate sounding cocky, but its true.

what a crazy couple of days huh?
the storm was scary, yet epic. however, the aftermath is fucked up. my sister and her family had to move to tami's, and my parents moved into dave and suzannes. honestly, I think the state should ask FEMA for help. they need to prove they can do something good after the horrible failure of katrina. and so many people in pierce county are straight fucked now. i'm trying to convince my parents to let jordan's family move in when their house gets back on, cuz the guerreros aren't expecting power for at least a week. but since she wont even allow my lone roommate to live there, I doubt it'll happpen.
on a good note, the show was all sorts of kickass. i fucked up hardcore on the last song, but its all good. idw got better, and the other bands were the same as they've always been. then we had katies birthday party at my place afterwards. Trevor had 30 some odd beers - fucking moron. amazingly did not puke though.
I'm gonna go tobed, I've got 50 hours of work this week so i need to get crackin.

Well, trevor is incredibly sick. its not even funny. he's puking every 20 minutes. so now Im starting to feel sick just cuz i keep hearing it and stuff. gross. but i went to the store and got some stuff for him. the big question is if i should call in sick to work to help take care of him.
church was so lame. i sang a solo, but i didnt sleep well cuz of trevor and i was exhausted from a show. plus a girl called me at like 4:30 cuz she wanted to hook up. so i was like passed out when i sang. it was terrible.

two straight days off. freakin rad. this week is gonna rock so hard. two shows in three days, and we get to play our new song. which thankfully isnt like 7 or 8 minutes long like all the other ones.
as for the rest of the day, i dunno. I'm craving teriyaki, but the only person who will go with me is trevor. which si cool, but since i live with him, not too much out of the ordinary. maybe i'll go to my parents house and practice drums.
i've got a 21 year old that likes me, which is rad, except she has the weirdest fucking friends. but then again, so do i, so whatever. plus she hates metal, so i dunno how that'll work at all.
So rick and i were talking yesterday, and well, the next few songs were are writing, musically, have a lot of hate in them. we both rpetty much agree that we are sick off all these bands that have no talent but tons of friends, which automatically makes them cool. So basically i want to play shit that will just expose shitty bands for who they are. and i personally want less hardcore influence in the rest of the songs we write for the album, but I'm pretty much the only one who wants that. although I'll admit this one two step in our new song is fuckin amazing. pick tapping in a two step, who wouldv'e thought.
Well I'm off to go buy some drum equipment in a bit. peace

so, my first week on my own. to be honest, not too exciting. I worked all the time. including 11 hours today on thanksgiving. but i got to still eat with the family and i got time and a half for the portion i worked at sbux so its all good.
living with trev is alright. he basically doesd what i used to do, and that is being lazy most of the time. but he starts his job soon so that will all change. well, it better, cuz yeah.
due to work and band, my love life still doesnt exist. at all. but thats fine cuz i'm not into wasting my time or money these days. both of those are quite valuable to me now.
as for my family, its really odd. my dad is like depressed that i left so suddenly, and i kinda think in the back of his midn he doesnt want me gone yet. i nkow i'll be back, i just need some ex[erience for now. need to grow a bit, ya know?
well, tomrrow will be hell on earth - after thanksgiving day shopping for everyone. I'll be at sbux from 10 -4, right in the midddle of the havoc. pray i dont pass out or freak out hahaha

so, I'm oretty sure I'm moving out this week. moving into a nice duplex in the harbor with trevor. pretty expensive, but the experience will be worth it. i need to get less attached to my house. I'm not doubting that I'll be moving back here at some point in the next year or so, but i need some time away to become self-sufficient, and learn how to be more responsible. so, yeah, thats me for today. I'm gonna go check out the place with my parents now, peace

Well, my day off is done, back to work I go. 7 hours today and 7 hours tomorrow. what a weird weekend. LA was supposed to play a haloween prty but I'm qorkin tonight and refuse to go to lacy at 10:30 at night. I've gotta be up for church toorrow so i need some sleep.
After practice last night I kinda realized my passion for the band is on a much lower level than everyone else. Most of them all think this will be going somewhere big soon, but I don't. I'm not trying to be negative, but after years and years of this I think its about time to throw in the towel and search for a real music activity. It seems like it wont be long before and devin and i will be kicked out or leave. Its fun, but it takes a lot of time and energy from me. Plus I need more time to build my drum skills for what they want out of me. And our success is getting into peoples heads. i'm just wondering if I should stick it out for the album in January. It'd be pretty dick leaving right before they record a new album. however, it might also be neccessary, considering the sooner the better.
my heart is fine, the doctor told me. However my lungs are not sharing the same reward. I pretty much have to quit smoking soon because its starting to cripple my lungs. apparently it happened so fast to me because I'm still growing, and so they didnt have the maximum potential to fight the nicotine and billions of other chemicals brought into my system.
So thats my stand today, which feels like a monday cuz my day off was yesterday. the band is just fun but no more, and smoking has to stop.

Well today was pretty chill. just went to a starbucks meeting to get all pumped up for the holidays. I'm pumped, but I'm also scared out of my mind. its so busy all the time there in december, I'm gonna freak out. I hope I get less hours there during the holidays, because I also have different families I need to spend time with. Example, Saffron. She's my first niece and really first new direct relative in my life. Yet I've only seen her maybe 3 times. thats not cool at all. and I never see Austin anymore, but he's bigger, stronger and smarter than me anyways hahaha. and althought I hate the mormon religion, I really need to see my uncle and aunt more often. They're kinda lonely now, plus their son is in Iraq, aka the valley of the damned.
tomorrow I'm having stress tests done on my heart. hopefully nothing is serious, but I've been having chest pains. I have to wake up at 6 and be in tacoma by 8. curse the new bridge. I hate all this traffic. But I guess its for the better in the end.
well, i need to go at least try and sleep. |

wow, I jut got home from work. Cassie didnt show up so i had to close tonight at hollywood. lame balls. but more money i guess
so the big thing in my life right now is the new cradle of filth album, which I bought yesterday. I've been waiting two years for this thing, and well, its a bit of a let down. Dani's voice is obviously wearing out a bit. not too much, he just cant hit the high howls that well, and he has resorted to clean vocals in some points. Adrians drumming is really fucking lame. there is absolutely nothing he does on that album that I couldn't play. Some of the songs rock, some of them suck, whatever.
I'm gonna go to bed, tomorrows my only day off for like the next week and a half.

Tonight is just one of those nights where you get bummed. I know peole get shit for complaining in this, but hey, technically it is a journal.
Man, I just feel like I'm going nowhere. I'm not going after anything exciting. I'm thinkin about maybe putting my resume up on monster.com, but what the hell would that land me? and berklee sounds great, but its so far, and the application process is really time consuming. I'm working two jobs, pretty much full time between the two of them. Its hard to concentrate on my dreams. I feel like the money I'm saving is just going towards a life I'm envisioning that isnt a reality.
Maybe I should pack my bags and go to boston for awhile, again. check out the school more in depth, and just get away or something. Left Alive is might record a full album and all, which rules, but its gonna cost money, take up at least a month, its in seattle. that isnt the future i want in music. I'm just a bi-polar moron who cant fucking decide what he wants.
And my love life is all sorts of, well, nothing. No girls, nothin. Its shitty.
I'm just hoping this is just a phase and I buck up. At least I dont drink or anything. but man getting high sounds great right now. fuck, growing up blows

well, its been awhile since I posted in here.
So, I was about to get fired at starbucks, at least I thought, and then they gave me an award. Exceptional service. so now I work there and hollywood. tryin to keep busy. and the whole free movies and coffee isnt bad either.
the love life is pretty much non-existent. But thats just fine. I really need to stop trying to get laid and just find someone who i enjoy and they enjoy me.
so not too much else going on. Just been playing lots of Jak II and the Godfather. both are amazing, cept jak is hard. and thats what she said

so unless things turn around this weekend, I'm pretty sure I'm going to quit my job at starbucks. I think I just came in at the wrong time with the wrong people. never before in my life have I had a problem working with a team that lasted more than a few mere hours. But now it just seems like people are blaming all their problems on the newbies. yes, there were two nights were I did horribly, but as I explained to them, it wasn't out of spite or laziness. I straight up didn't know how to complete all the tasks they gave me. in my opinion thats an honest mistake, and I apologized for it. But now even when I work at my best and I make just one mistake, like even for 5 seconds (example, playing drums on the counter while nobody is in line, just for like 5 seconds) someone files a fucking complaint. This place is destroying my confidence. Me and my family were so proud of me getting a job at such a great place. But for some odd reason, nobody wants me there and people blame me for all the little mistakes that happen. so tonight i close with marc, hopefully not on bar, because I still have no clue how to make like half the drinks. him and rusten seem like the only people who respect me at all. It just doesn;t sit well with me at all. I respected my superiors, I did what I was told, and I improved greatly on my people skills. but they tell the manager shit like "he rolls his eyes on leans his head on the counter" what a fuckin crock of shit. I enjoyed working there, and I can do just fine on a team. But they won't give me an honest shot. So, if this weekend just seems to be the same crap over and over, I'm gonna call it quits before they fire me. It just looks better on your resume as "voluntarily quit" instead of "involuntarily terminated."
and again, maybe this is a sign from god to stop goofing around with petty jobs and start crackin on the music. But thankfully I will see my counselor on monday. I just need any advice I can get.

so the job thing is workin out. Yeah, its cheesy being all happy to people, but its worth the money. my first paycheck was 325 bones.
Thr job is moving along, and I worked over 20 hours these last cou[le days, which is why I haven't posted much. but now, its totally different. I'm only working 12 hours this week, plus I have three straight days off. Thats shitty, I'm gonna be so fucking bored. way bored. but I guess in the meantime I will just read, chill with people,. prctice drums and b-ball, and work. not too shabby. at least we have a show friday

Well, tofay is kinda of do or die for me at starbucks. My attitude isn't cheesy enough for them, so I have to buck up on that. that and work on my people skills. I think the only reason I'm kinda down about the job is cuz I haven't seen the cash, or i forget that I'm getting paid in the first place. so lets hops i blow their socks off today.

the show was amazing last night. We did okay, but we had to open, so barely any of the touring bands were there to see us. But holy shit - Light This City was indredible. I only saw like 2 of their songs, but damn. I would've gotten a shirt but I was short on cash. After that rick, Mikael and I went to Jordana's party. Rick had a few shots and some pot, and I stayed sober cuz I dont really do either of those things anymore. However, I smoked a shit ton of cigs last night, and now my throat hurts like hell. Which blows cuz I am singing a solo at church in about an hour and I have to work a 6 hour shift. So hopefully I wake up by the start of work and feel a bit on the better side
