OKAY THEN... [May. 22nd, 2006|02:33 pm]
Ahh...Here at work with some time to blog it up...Summer session is going on and the mood is generally relaxed - and humid...The fine arts library is a good place to cool down, though...Anyways, finished the semester with a 4.0, but didn't take enough hours to make the Dean's List, like I was told I did...Oh well, there's always next semester...A lot going on this summer with music...FURGER has really taken on a life of its own, providing endless hours of enjoyment and learning for Aaron and I...I'm about to start doing the 'serious' music thing later this week...What else, what else?..Art is going well, with a concentration on stencils also coming up later in the week, and more mixed media coming up as well...Hickey has a video editing program and he's going to give Aaron and I a lesson or two this upcoming weekend...Should be fun - and in the end it means music videos for our silly FURGER music...One word: robots...ha...Writing and reading a lot - actually, about 500% more than I did during the semester, which is good...I was still thinking about a lot of stuff even though I didn't have the time to jot it down on paper, so I think it was good to give it time to age a bit...Moving out in August, and believe me - that is an epic.alright, that's all for now, more later, and sooner, as I have a lot more time these days...

HAHA! [Apr. 23rd, 2006|10:16 am]
[mood | accomplished]
[music |Miami Vice opening theme...]

Bet you thought I forgot about the ol LJ, huh?..Just no time these days - so where to begin?..School, since it's a big part of my life at the moment and will be for the next two or so years: Finals are in two weeks and then freedom - I thought for a moment about taking summer session again, but have decided to take the three and a half months of summer for myself...A lot already planned...Memphis in May in a couple weeks with the crew (I actually had my finals moved so that I could attend, ha)...Jenna in Atlanta, at some point...The beach and Texas also in the summer...And as much good, live music as I can swing financially - with every effort and extra red cent funneled towards Radiohead/Chicago again...Plan to actually contact an agent for my scripts sometime soon, after school is finished for the semester...I've done more reading and playing music in the last five months than I probably have in the previous three years, and it feels great - I feel like everything is starting to come together, and do feel a bit o' earned pride in myself, realizing that I'm not just one of those people that's going to settle for second best or complacency...Oh, school again: After this fall semester I won't have any more core classes to deal with, and that means I get submerged into nothing but studio and art classes - I talked to the professor in the Graphic Arts dept. and she pulled some strings and got me into a class I'm not technically supposed to be in for another two semesters which = awesome...Also, with core crap wrapped up I can honestly start thinking about transferring somewhere else to pursue art if I get the urge to get out of here anytime soon (beyond the ever-looming desire to make it out West), or become dissatisfied with the UofA...Life is great at the moment - I love my friends and family (of course), and Bartleby is just one of the best dogs in the world - he's got an unofficial fan club that grows with each person he meets, and continues to make me laugh with his silliness everyday...Can't complain - everybody is healthy and happy, as well...C.'s going back to school and is finally going to get his shite on track, I think, and this should make him happier, too...But yeah - I'm feeling a strong music vibe coming up when school is out - and I mean the creative kind...Aaron got me Ableton Live, and I've actually been able to learn how to use it here and there, when I'm not writing papers for school...It's all about the bass and the breakbeat, dear...And then Furger - if we ever get that off the ground it will have people laughing until death...Another thing that surprised me was how quickly I adapted to Photoshop - I won't lie, it was confusing at first, but now I've learned how to do what I want (sort of developed my own 'style'), and to do all the regular tricks of the trade that other people want...But yeah, all of the above is just generic kinda info...Ex emailed me with some bs - still trying to not feel guilty for what she did, trying to escape the consequences of her actions, but until she takes responsibility for them and learns how to rely on herself instead of others for happiness she's going to be desperate and lonely in the long run - I'm only sad or get upset when I remember what a good person she used to be, and the potential that was there, but...And that's all I have to say about that...I've gone to Dickson more in the last month than I have in the previous year, too, but I'm already tired of it...I like to hang out with my friends (the ones that go there, A. and H. don't go there unless it's to eat), but the stupidity on display...It bores me to no end - I mean, sitting around drinking and anticipating some sort of unique excitement that is never going to happen in Fayetteville just does not appeal to me...I get sick of people saying that television and the media is mind control...
mindcontrol
...I think the bar culture and comfort of cold cash keeps most people on a pretty malleable level a whole lot simpler than the boob tube...They work to make money to go out, they go out to the bars to deal with the hopelessness of their jobs and the boredom that is their life, then they go back to work to make money to go out again - see where this is going?..That's right - nowhere...You tend to meet the worst examples of individuals out there, too...On the other hand, sometimes you meet really great people as well...We all went out to eat (twice!) and hung out watching Wondershozen, and played gator golf yesterday - kicking it chill with the six of us...The usual group, but Holi's friend from high school (and myspace) accompanied us - and she was most excellent!..No, really, she was an intelligent, attractive girl - easy to talk to, and she had a sense of humor...She even like Bart!..I think she's gonna come over and cook dinner here later this week, and she seems to want to go bowling, too...Yeah, a definite contrast to the empty personalities you meet on Dickson (or on campus, for that matter)...Well, I've got to go now - to feed Bartleby, eat, get to work, and then back home to write two papers tonight...I'll leave you with some art o' mine (done quickly - some fake mag covers, Bart) - laters...

So...things are pretty crazy...school starts soon, and it can't be soon enough...I've received my money for the semester and ended up with about an extra $1000 dollars in my bank account...I HEARD FROM LIS TODAY!..The first real contact letter (okay - email) that we've had...She's doing really well, loving every minute in Portland...It sounds like she misses me, and invited me to spend some time out there...I don't know...It would probably be good, but you never know...It's either there or Atlanta, to see Jenna...I'd love to do that, too...I've just never been to Portland...And I want to see Radiohead in Chicago, too...So much ahead...summer session is still up in the air, too...I might take off the whole summer and get a lot of projects I've started on the fast track to completion...and there is the slim possibility of going back to Norway or even Spain...I might take the Bethany route and go to Sevilla and stay in a hostel for a week or so, just go out on my own (like I always do) and take a ton of pictures...But first, school...and take care of Bartleby...alright, I've got to get back to work...

HELLO STRANGER... [Jan. 1st, 2006|07:42 am]
[mood | wordupdowntown.]
[music |Broken - Nine Inch Nails]

Alright, wow...it's been a long, long time since I've updated - too much to do, and too much random life happening at once...So here we are with the new year, and here I am wondering what's going on with my brain - as in, why am I up at 8am when I went to sleep sometime around 2ish?..My brain is weird that way, though...Did some mild drinking last night, but used restraint to a fine degree - drinking has just lost it's appeal to me on most levels...it helps now that most of my friends aren't drinkers or substance abusers in any shape or form, and most of them get up and out to do other stuff...Ahh life this year...at least most recently, the good first: school went well, more so than I could have hoped...there's not much more to say than that, but I'm looking forward to next semester...Ethics and such, and I don't have to take another English class since I aced comp II - YES!!..working at B. Dalton has been great, reminding me that retail (with a small crew of decent individuals) can be kind of alright, though still an occupational level that leaves much to be desired...everything from Halloween on was great!..it seems like most of my old friends are returning to Fayetteville - and they haven't forgotten me!!..Really, it makes you feel good when you meet up with people and they say that they 'missed you'...The bright spot recently has been getting to hang out with Aaron and Holi and planning art projects, but also just hanging out with two of the coolest, most honest cats in Fayetteville - I'm so glad that we're all on the same wavelength and that they don't just want to twiddle their thumbs and get 'fucked up' all the time...Aaron's first cousin Brandon, who was one of my best friends in high school (and the reason I met A. in the first place), is back around, and I foresee the two of us hanging out a lot more...It's nice, since he's also a good guy and more intelligent than the average bear...I've seen Jeremiah and Kasey a lot more lately, too...Bethany is back in town and we've been hanging out randomly the last few months - she is one funny gal, but it's good to be around someone with a no nonsense attitude as well...And now Dan is back in town, with the news that he'll be moving back this summer - about a block away!!..that is awesome...I'm toying with the idea of maybe seeing if he wants to start a band (me on bass and Brando on guitar?)...just an idea, but he's the best self taught drummer I've ever heard, putting everyone else in this wee town to shame...ah yes - there have been some girls, but I'd be lying if I didn't say that I wasn't disappointed in most of them...there have been a couple of sweeties, but most of them are 'party girls' who crave too much attention and need drugs or alchohol to persuade their fragile psyches that they have a life...People just need to grow up sometimes, and quit relying on others to entertain them or make them feel complete - that just always ends badly...Now onto the bad, which I'll keep to a minimum: Yeah, I thought things could maybe be alright with Sarah, but I learned that this wasn't the case on Halloween...Things almost felt alright, but I could not handle her being so close - knowing that she's hanging with a shady bunch, involved in much drink and probably drugs, too...And who knows when she'll freak out and call the cops on me for no reason...I did want her to come back, but only when she's got all that shit out of her system, and when she finally, fully realizes how much I cared for her, but I don't know now...I didn't just want to fuck her, or have her around when I was down...I believe she can be a good person, but how she turns out is directly related to the people she hangs around...and right now she's with a bunch of douchebags, and my image of her is one of a somewhat gross girl (when you get around like she did your image definitely takes a hit, random people I barely know think she's a bitch, but I don't know in what kind of situation she met them)...I don't know...goodness is in her, like in everyone, but that selfishness and lack or restraint takes over and she doesn't give a fuck at all...desperate people like that are funny on one hand and frustrating on the other, but since it's her it's just...sad...so many people are there to take advantage of that...I have come to the sad realization that most people are just stupid, and she's chalked up the fucking idiot points lately - if people only knew what she did, with whom...I state this in all honesty, but I wouldn't be surprised if Sarah didn't have an std, one of the ones that doesn't go away...I doubt she knows it, but one of the guys she's been around supposedly has herpes - how do you let someone that's as pissed at you know as she is at me know about that?..I feel bad, but with our recent past I have to just accept that it's out of my hands...I probably wouldn't care if I'd just met her, but she was such a sweet person for three years, a different person, and it's hard to deal with the trash she's trying awful hard to be lately...oh well...and she called for the first time in two months the other day to ask me if I had her dog, who is apparently missing again...I try my best not to judge her, but she knows the people she's around are fuck ups...DON'T LEAVE YOUR DOG WITH POTHEADS - THEY RARELY REMEMBER TO BATHE THEMSELVES, HOW CAN YOU COUNT ON THEM TO CARE FOR THE THING THAT SUPPOSEDLY MEANS SO MUCH TO YOU!!..That sucks, sucks, sucks - but I hope Mon Petit finds a better home (I'm sure someone will pick her up, she's such a good dog), one where the owners will actually treat her like a family member instead of an object...I'll miss her, and knowing that I might never, ever get to see her again really makes me sad - she would have liked to romp with Bartleby...anyways, that was pretty much all the bad, but it's in the past now...I'm hella excited that Dan's moving back, to repeat myself...music, for me, is such a rejuvenator - it get's my art and writing juices flowing quicker than anything else...damn, I have a lot more to write about, but I've gotta get back to sleep for a bit and head to work...I'll hit this more often, though...peace pipe to trip up you whacked smashing knuckle dragging slagged small paul forebrain....latuhs...Z.

[music |Dark Days - DJ Shadow]

...work is pretty damn boring today...there are hardly any cars on campus, and I don't have the heart to ticket those that are...so instead I'm going to spend most of my time here, in the computer lab...things are good lately - basically only two weeks of school left after this weekend, and I've done well...Bartleby is a character - again, one of the best things that I think has ever happened to me...he's a pup, and full of general puppy energy, but he's also just damn funny sometimes, in a unique way...

...hmm...weird running into Rachel on here, and stranger still that she's being really nice...that's probably just how she is, though - and she seems to have a pretty good head on her shoulders...music, music, music...things are coming together pretty fast in that arena, and I'm happy with the direction it's going...though I won't have an album's worth of music for a while (this spring?), I will have about 3-4 tracks by the end of the year...it's just hard to find the time to sit down for the couple hours I need to warm up and dive in...even though everything has been piecemeal I have still been able to get two tracks on the right path, and up to my standards...it's weird - I could write an electronic track as easily as I could write a punk song, but I don't want to do something throw away and generic - you know, like a lot of the other stuff out there...
blinggrenades/
...ha - sorry, that was too easy...anyways, I want people to remember these songs - now I just need to get wavelab up and running correctly...and Aaron said Blackie had some sort of art project that we're all going to take part it - though it's a mystery right now...gah...alright, I need to go call Jenna and, well, twiddle my thumbs for a couple of hours (6 more, be exact) - but hell, I'm getting paid for it...a quick joke: Why did they bury George Washington on the side of a hill?..Well - he was dead, silly...

[music |Depeche Mode - A Pain That I'm Used To]

Oh man, what a weird, but oddly satisfying couple of weeks - a whole lot has happened, that has prevented me from getting anything up on the ol' LJ...I have posted some blogs on myspace, but that's mostly a lark - you know that other people are going to see it for sure, so it sort of alters the entry from the start...with an audience there's a lot more to worry about, including the 'entertainment' factor and the 'offense' factor...here there are no such worries...Sooo...I now have a pug...a black male pug...named Bartleby - he's the best damn thing to happen to or for me in the last year, and it seems like it's only going to get better...here's a few pics of him from photobucket: http://photobucket.com/albums/c26/takatak/ - he's just as lively as he seems in the pics, a handful, but he keeps me laughing...the warm days are few and far between, but he really loves the outdoors - he runs around until he's out of steam and then just throws himself on his side and smiles, at least as much as a dog can...school is going good - I'm so glad Chuck is back in!..I knew he would be eventually, but the sooner the better...Lowe's is a dead end and he's too smart to fall for their feeble attempts at brainwashing...I got most of the classes I want - I should wrap up the core classes this next fall semester (assuming I go in the summer, too)...that's when things get kinda interesting - I'm really glad that I declared a major in Anthropology (though I'm now thinking of getting a minor in photography - if that's possible, it will probably just be a broad 'art' minor)...
anthro/
...hmm, that image came up when I typed in 'anthro' on google...anyways, my anthro degree is basically going to be a ticket to travel the world, I found out recently...that's if I don't sell this script I'm almost finished with and go the movie route...art projects have been put on hold in favor of music lately (which has, honestly, been put somewhat on the backburner while I adapt to Bartleby)...it's really cool, though - some really interesting ideas and projects are coming together...it's nice to have Aaron and Allen and various others to work off of...it's also nice to have Aaron to help me put together my new mountain bike, to replace the one which some guiladouche stole a couple weeks ago (gonna save me $35!)...
moto/
...only mine is black (and I'm gonna put some red in there, too - a personal touch)...well, that's it so far...Oh yeah - I found Bethany again!!..How cool is that?..I'm really happy that this happened...she came over the other night and we caught up on three years worth of history - she knows my whole drama, and I know hers, too...Hopefully we're gonna hang some in the next week and eat or do some dumb, relaxing stuff...Weird how things work like that - this just after I ran into Jenna online again, which was just as pleasing...I hope to make it to Atlanta before too long, if I can swing the moolah...And then, well, Carley told me that Nicole was back in Beaumont, and had asked about me...I don't know, but I wonder what they're all up to lately...ha, and I ran into Leslie's sister just recently, too!!.Now, that's just because this is a small town, but she seems to have matured a bit and grown up a fine, young lady...alright, I've got to go write some tickets, or at least pretend like I'm going to - I'm gonna head to the old apartment and get a heavier coat, too...laters...Z.

[mood | bored to tears.]
[music |murmuring.]

oh boy...long time no entry, I suppose...again, the weekend is here, and campus is deader than Joe Strummer...I'd have to say that things are alright now - I'm pretty pumped for a happening Halloween weekend, one that will probably leave me exhausted (especially after tomorrow night)...Still sad about all that crap that just happened...the quality of the people Sarah has been hanging out with was made crystal clear to me during the first part of the week...losers, wankers, immature douchebags - you can probably guess how the rest of it goes...people that are 'hardcore' like that make me laugh...as do people without talent who try to make something happen with image...I did a silly thing and let one of them know just how much their band sucked, and he flipped out like a pom-pom girl on ritalin...oh well, though Sarah can be the dumbest, flakiest girl around, she also has her moments of clarity and smarts...it's like she tricks herself into thinking that this is the 1)lifestyle, 2)guy, or 3)image she wants to be associated with, date, or project, and then a couple weeks later (or months) she realizes how stupid or boring the people are and moves on to something else...I hope next time that she either moves back in with her mom in Springfield, or grows up and starts living like an adult in or around Seattle...I've always said it to you: choose your friends wisely, this saves you from strife and drama down the road...
strife/
...and I know she's drinking and probably smoking pot occasionally...this - this is what pisses me off more than anything...when I care about someone...I just - if she and I were together she'd be clean, completely, and that's it...she'd be happier, too, and less desperate...her personality is addictive, and it's not healthy for her to be around any of that, especially with people that don't give a fuck, as she starts to think it's alright...and the guy she's with - you can't tell me that alcohol isn't a big part of their relationship - I mean, the dude is fucking ugly...why she'd compromise herself for that, I do not know...ahh, damn, at least I can get this out here...she doesn't read this anymore anyways...so yeah, I'm looking forward to next weekend, too, as that's when the pugbomb gets dropped...Bartleby, I wish you were here now, but I'm going to be all over the map this weekend, so best to get you when I'm completely ready...On the off note - I wonder how Mon Petit Chou is doing?...I wonder if she's having to spend too much time in that goddamn shed since Sarah's over at that wanker's house every night...she should just give her to me, because she knows I'll treat her like she needs to be treated...oh man, I've got to get a paper done somewhere in there by Wednesday...I'll manage, I'm sure...school is still cake...well, just thought I'd spit something out here, since I haven't in a while...next time I'll have some Halloween pics and pug pics up...alright...laters...

...way to go for stubby, ugly guys Sarah, really...he's smaller than I am, for Buddha's sake!!...and twitchy (but really, his short limbs are what stuck out to me - just like Tommy)...and, well, he's just an unattractive douchebag - end of story, but you seem to specialize in that kind of guy recently...there's not much to him, but that's probably how you want it right now...I thought it was really funny how he was trying to appear threatening with his little stencil knife...with his silly "punk rock" hair - god what a fag (and no, not in a gay sense, just a schmuck sense)...Ha, remember how, oh about three months before we broke up, you told me that guys like that make you sick?..How it was immature and that their image was a joke and you'd never be involved with anyone like that, could never love someone that retarded?..Yeah, I figured you forgot...Or maybe you didn't...maybe that's why your mind keeps turning back to me and wishing that whichever guy you're with at the moment will start doing stuff like I did...maybe you were starting to get bored already, and that's why you came to me at 2 in the morning - to feel what true love is like...I seriously don't know what goes on in your head sometimes, but it frustrates the hell out of me...and I know you've now told a bunch of people a lot of CRAZY stuff...people that you know are gossipy and dramatic and so out of the loop and dense that they believe your lies...your whole made up pathological lie world...that's the thing I don't get - when did lying become second nature for you?..when you come to see me on campus, DO NOT tell whomever that I just showed up out of nowhere while you were walking your dog (hmm, that WHO got out of the pound a day before she went up for adoption and you were charged and arrested for abandonment?) and would not leave you alone - that is pure bullshit...they are going to catch on to you, though, and you'll eventually piss them off to the point that they'll start trashing you behind your back and want to have nothing to do with you...ha - like some of them already do now...that's why they call me up out of the blue and ask me what the fuck's wrong with you!!..I'm not going to pretend like everything is alright with you, even though that's what you want...you want to be able to come around an hang out and act like nothing ever happened...I can do that, I can forget and forgive the past, but I can't do it when you are continuing to fuck up your life...I won't sit by and watch you turn into your mom and pretend like nothing is happening...Wanna see how much those other guys care about you?..How many of them have really tried to get you to go back to school?..How many of them say 'No, let's NOT drink or smoke pot anymore, or go to some pointless stupid party or bar, and let's start getting our shit together'?...How many?..What - NONE OF THEM?..Well, that's how much they care about you Sarah - I respect you enough to want YOU to make yourself a better person...you weren't just my fuckbuddy or warm body or crush of the month...you weren't my bestfriend, either - you were my lover, the love of my life, the person I wanted to grow old with...How many of the guys you have been with are willing to say that about you?..Would you say that about any of THEM?..Didn't think so...I don't know what else to say...I think about you every day, and I worry, but hell - you reap what you sow...Don't come back to me when you are fucked up and have nowhere else to go...Don't come back and do the things that confuse me and make me think you still really love me...Come back to me when you want to do it for me and when you're strong (and single), and when you really, truly want a better life and want to get out of here...I'm sorry for everything - sorry that I continue to piss you off (as I will as long as you keep up the lies and stupidity), sorry I'm not a sucker anymore, sorry you won't get to see my puppy and play with him, sorry we won't have Christmas this year, sorry that you're stuck in some fucked up, self-destroying 'fun' mode that leaves you feeling empty every night you fall asleep...that always takes you back to me, and reminds you what you continually take for granted...I'm done, I have nothing more to say on the subject...

[music |none]

Goddamnit, I hate being used - hate it, hate it, hate it...I wish I could leave for Seattle or Northern California or Eugene tonight, and just leave fucked up people behind for good (and come back in three weeks to get my dog - then leave again)...I don't really know if I believe in love anymore, not when it has been used as a tool to manipulate me over and over and over...I'm kind of upset right now, and I've got a valid reason (anyone would agree)...Just get pregnant and get it over with girl...stay here, smoke, drink, fuck, piss it all away - I don't care anymore, just quit dragging me down..PLEASE...you're not my responsibility anymore...I know you keep coming back because you miss that feeling, too...you're trying to replace me with other guys - but you know what?..It's never gonna work, they're never going to put forth the effort that I did, so you should just resign yourself to the fact that there's going to be a space in your heart that nobody but I can fill, and that you're always going to be left wanting something you discarded a long time ago, without too much thought - and I've given up, when you treat people the way you do this is apt to happen...So stop making me a bad person, stop pretending, stop lying to everyone (including yourself)...I'm going to make you hate me, because - as I see it - that's the only way I'm going to get you to leave me alone...So long love, a lot of things aren't fair and I know we love each other, but you are too fucked up to realize it and it's fucking me up royally while I keep hoping you'll change back into a decent person...hate me, be pissed and fly off the handle, talk shit like you do to everyone - that's the point...In a couple years I will be on the West coast, probably Seattle, and I will think often of how it might have been if we had gone together, and I'm sure it will hurt sometimes - but I will be comforted by the knowledge that I am probably better off the more distance I put between us (and you will be, too)...And for fuck's sake: start taking care of your dog properly, and quit leaving her alone or at someone else's house for hours or days on end - she's a living being, something you cannot neglect like you do or take care of when you feel like it. If this is how you treat your dog then I fear the day that you have a child...get your shit straight, please...and the first step in doing this is being honest with yourself...goodbye.

Again - why?...I have no clue why I am up so early in the morning, as I didn't get to bed until late...probably too much on my mind this last week...I also think I wake up early sometimes when my body is dehydrated and is telling me to get something to drink...school is going well - non-stop, crash course, lightning round, brain poking stressfest, but I love it...got an A on my first Philo test, so that was nice...just have to keep maintaining these standards for the rest of the semester...Yeah, I don't know about Lindsay - it seems she is yet another moth drawn to the Dickson St. flame, on a much too regular basis...I don't think I'm up for that anymore - it's all just so pointless - like, it would be one thing if people led productive lives and were creative and constructive, but instead they just 'give up' and head out to drink and 'socialize'...and NOTHING ELSE...I don't get it, and it bores me...a lot of people bore me once you get down to it...I love to watch them, but it's wise to not get too close or you'll be disappointed...I've been 'out' to Dickson about three times in the last two weeks and it still feels like too much, like I should have been doing something better with my time - as in screwing around with Nuendo!! (or stencils in Photoshop, or just good ol' fashioned photography!!..) There's still so much to learn, but I think I could reasonably have an "album" out by early next year...much fun...and Bartleby will be here in about a month - I seriously cannot wait!!
blackpug/
...it's just going to be so nice to have a dog with me again...and a pug, no less (oh, and I finally told Chuck, he didn't seem fazed at all, which is good)...Grannie and Carley were up for a week and a half during the hurricane, and it was wonderful to see them (they left yesterday morning)...Carley and I had a really good, long talk one night, and caught up on everything...I hope they both come back for Christmas (Grannie is for sure, but it would be nice to see Carley again)...so yeah, that's where I sit right now...hah, pale sunlight is finally creeping into my room...
sunlight/
...there's also another matter that has once again come back into my life, one that I will not get too much into here...I'm happy, though, to have it be part of my life again...I don't know where to really start in thinking about it, or where it will go, but I know it'll be a while before trust is there again...but who knows...I would still love to be able to leave here by next year, just take my dog and my Element and my camera and finally go west...damn...I need to shave, I need to wash my shower, I need to make a grocery list, I need to cut out that penguin stencil, I need to read a chapter in Astronomy, I need to download some music off soulseek, I need to write Ibrahim, I need some polaroid film, I need to pay on my fine, I need to finish those tracks, I need a sweet girl to wrap my arms around at night, every night, and then be able to wake up and fix her breakfast in bed...
marilyn/
...hmm, I want to go camping this weekend, but not alone...oh, we'll see...well, I'm getting a 'tired headache', so maybe I can fight my way back into unconsciousness...latersssssssss....Z.

[music |Dare - Gorillaz]

damn...been a while, but with all that's been going on it's forgivable...so yeah, Lindsay...hmm, I don't really know how it happened (or what IS happening), but all I can say is that I'm really happy around her...and really comfortable around a girl for the first time in a while...She's really, really...she's just sweet, though you wouldn't guess it from her initial appearance (she resembles Winona Ryder in Beetlejuice a bit right now - black hair/snow white skin/tattoos)
beetle/
...gah, either way, I'm looking forward to the next time she comes over...working at the bookstore again, on Sundays only (still - 35% off!!)...first time back was somewhat surreal - I forgot how easy the job was, but mostly I was thinking about Lindsay throughout the day, so it flew by...Just talked with Bob and checked out the mallrat culture that is so alien to me now...School is school, it's almost second nature - I scored 100% on my Comp II test...I can't wait until I get my dog the first week of Nov!!..I still need to tell Chuck...It's almost time to finish up 'Project Mayhem' as I call it, with A. and H, too....
mayhem/
...gonna be fun...probably a lot more fun than learning how to use Nuendo - but when I do, watch out!!..I'm gonna try and produce a weird spaghetti western/hip hop/soundtrackish kinda thing...it'll be good, once I decipher the damn program...the music's already in my head, so I don't have to worry about that...hmm...and S...I hope she is well, and hope she's getting her shit together, or at least planning to...I don't know why she has embraced the lifestyle that she has, but I only hope that she grows out of it soon enough, and sees how empty and destructive it is...if you're reading this, again - sorry for what happened, but next time (if there is one) remember that honesty is the best policy...I have a question to ask you, which really regards nothing between you and I, but that I was hoping you'd go for - so if you get the guts, call...if not, oh well...I wish you the best...alright, I've gotta get back to my rounds...hmm, I hope Lindsay calls tonight, but if not it's okay, I'm sure I'll talk to her again soon...laters...Z.

Long time gone. [Sep. 17th, 2005|09:36 am]
[mood | I'mgettingahaircut.]
[music |Track 3 - Keepin' Time]

Wow...oh boy, long time no update, but things have been (enjoyably) crazy here in F-town for the last week...First and foremost: this was the first 'real' week of school, with the usual MWF kana quizzes in Japanese (why I'm getting it, I don't know) - and now we're doing diction, so that should be fun...add to that our Astronomy test (which covered 5 chapters) and seven journal entries due in English...oh, and some reading in Philo...Yeah, nose was to the grindstone all week, but I think I came out in front...Really, though, I don't think school can get any harder than that - so now I have a yardstick to measure that stress against...
stress/
..haha - this pic comes up when I google 'stress'...anyways, yeah, school is cake..it's great to be meeting new people and all that...Hmm...and B., she is really nice to talk to - I'm looking forward to her being here next weekend...We'll see what happens...and Lis is good, she'll be gone about the middle of Oct. now, I guess...It makes me kinda sad, but she's actually someone I don't regret meeting...She's a good girl and I wish her the best...Yeah, now that the first big chunk of school is out of the way I can work on the stencil project and actually get some more interesting stuff up around town, instead of the dumbass George Bush, 'Now war but class war', and guy smoking pipe tags...Hmm...and something else I never thought I'd do, but which I'm actually very excited about (almost as much as being six weeks away from having my dog!) - Aaron is gonna give me a music program that he uses and I'm gonna use it to produce music...I've had ideas for tracks as long as I've been playing music, but never the time/urge to slap them down concretely...This program...Oh, I get giddy just thinking about it!!..It's a professional program that a lot of BIG (haha) bands/DJ's/musicians use...I'm in the process of scouring the internet for a drum machine...
drum/
...and a decent, cheap sampler...
sampler/
...it's cool, really cool to have this opportunity...A. and I don't like exactly the same kind of music, so my style is gonna be pretty different from what's around here...I think it'll be good, though...Now he just needs to get his ass over here and transfer the program from his mp3 player!!..alright, that's all for now...Hmm, I shouldn't be doing this, but I will...Sorry for last time, really, give me a call if you feel up to it...We'll leave it at that for now - just maybe phone and online contact, safer that way for both of us, right?...I do miss you, and I hope you don't think that I hate you or am looking down on you...I wonder about some of the decisions you have made, but it's your life - I'll always love you, and I just want to make sure you're alright, you know...If it means anything, I'm kinda seeing someone right now, and I don't really have a lot of time to get all worked up with school and that and the art projects my fingers are stuck to...Sooo, gimme a two minute call or something...

...but yeah, woke up, went in, and waited for them to find me on the 'roster', but no luck - for them...Actually, all the cops were pretty swell the whole time, but it feels good to have that chunk behind me...

japanese/
...so yeah, and I'll have my dog the first week of Nov...should start puppy-proofing soon...wrapping up all the legal mumbo jumbo, too, all the fines and CS should be paid and done in a couple weeks...Ha - does that mean S. and I can speak again?..Would she talk to me?..And should I talk to her?..I still wonder sometimes if she's getting better, and getting it all figured out as she grows up...I hope she remembers GOOD stuff about me, too...I'll never give up on you, gal...oh well...but Halloween, with HER - this could be what I need then, very interesting....

Community Service: Day 2 [Sep. 3rd, 2005|03:41 pm]
[mood | sleepoooly]
[music |The wild, 'small-penised' mating calls of frat boys.]

So...today wasn't as 'fun' as last weekend, but it was probably for a way better cause...We went to the old jail and basically cleaned it up, which included mopping and painting, in order to prepare it for a large chunk of hurricane refugees that will be here on Monday...They're gonna be housed and fed there for a while, so everyone kinda gave it 110% - it's really of hard to spruce up a jail, but at least we could get rid of some of the profanity on walls and straighten the place up a bit...Ha, it's also somewhat funny -I got to tag the inside of the jail!!...and I got to do it sort-of-officially..There were just too many of us running around, with too few cops to watch us, and I was all alone by myself with a bucket of blue paint...haha...nothing elaborate, just my signature and a small design...I probably tagged 15 cells...anyways, I hope that things go well for the people that are gonna be housed there...none of the weather hit my grandma, or family in Louisiana, so I consider myself lucky...it's just crazy right now...I might, if I can make the time, head down to the jail this week and volunteer for whatever they need done...but yeah, I'm gonna try and go in on Monday and finish this all up by next Saturday...get it off my plate, then just worry about school...which is still going well...anyways, got plans to attend to, and I'm in a hurry to get away from my neighbors, who are out front and screaming nonstop like bull-dykes at an Ani DiFranco concert...

[music |B.O.B. - Outkast]

Hmmm...So yeah, I saw Mon Petit Chou today...I was writing a ticket in lot 14A, the faculty/staff section, when I noticed her tied up to the side of the yellow house there (ha, with the same leash we bought at PetCo)...I immediately looked around and saw Sarah's car nearby (how I missed it, I'll never know - guess I just wasn't expecting it there)...though, honestly, I don't even know if she still uses it or if she sold it or if her roommate uses it (since I saw her driving her roomies car one night on Dickson, as I flashed by on my bike)...I guess that being said, I don't know if Mon Petit is still her dog...she may have sacrificed the dog for being with that pretentious douche she so looks up to...All I know is that the tug was still there, and it was hard not to go up to her and let her jump up on me and grab the loose skin around her cheeks and scratch behind her ears with my forefingers, and pat her behind...she looks skinny to me, skinnier than she should, but that's another story...I just miss her...hmm...It's so weird, this job, having the freedom I do...I love having the campus all to myself (kind of) on Tuesdays and Thursdays...
alone/
...There's all kinds of animals on campus, too...a menagerie that remains constant, so I can almost consider them pets - today I sat down in lot 36 and played with the old black and white cat that's always there...And the people with their dogs, it's great...I guess they will have to do until I get my pug in about a month...It's nice though, walking (which keeps me in shape, and the blood flowing, and the tan going...haha), having the freedom to study or listen to music, or talk to the many people I have met since school started again...It's also kind of weird how nice everyone is to me, considering that I am a ticket-dick...maybe I have a kind face, or maybe it's just because I'm nice to them...Sometimes people will just walk with me and talk and talk, and it's kinda cool...then I see them later and get a wave or something like that...Two different girls have asked me if I can get them a job, haha...I get to watch people, too, which is great...Human behaviour is such a mystery sometimes, and other times it's so blatant...People will wander in, kinda lost, wander out, then wander back in sometime in the next twenty minutes...Jesus, and the 'cell phone culture!'...that desperate need to be wanted or always have something happening so you don't have to think for yourself (ha - exactly how Sarah's mind works)...these people are so young, but I guess that the difference at my age was that I was entertaining myself, you know - using my imagination to create, like I still do...hmm, but girls...I think about Lis sometimes, but since she might not be here for too much longer I don't want to dwell on it...and I think Stephanie needs a hobby...I think she's investing too much into me at this point, and I don't know if she's what I need right now...It's sad, but I was thinking that I probably need to find a good, sweet sorority girl because they are actually active like me, and won't crap out like all the alternative/hippie gals I've been around lately...The girls that just drink and sit around doing nothing but working and waiting to go out later that night - then get all stressed out when they realize they've got a gut and a fat ass...
gut/
...When you don't do ANYTHING active and drink beer all the time this is what happens!!..gah...Just makes me happy to be going to the lake Sunday for some trails...hmm...I hope this mixed-media-art-thing tomorrow night is cool, I need a break from school (Japanese in particular)...But really, I'm so happy...I'm glad to have school, even though it's stressful - it's also a challenge, and I love that...no more aimlessness...no more work, sleep, wake, eat, bathe, work kinda deal - that would drive me crazy...It keeps my mind off of all the stupid shit that's happened in the recent past (like, the last year), keeps my thoughts off Sarah (as in longing for the feeling I had when she was the girl I loved), keeps my head up and my brain fresh...yeah, I'm glad I'm in school...I'm sad that C. dropped out, but I think it's only temporary - I have full faith that he'll be back in the Spring...so, well, this is what I can do when I'm at work!!..I guess I'll head back out there for another hour long stroll and then head home...might ride my bike tonight...yeah...

Human Behavior. [Aug. 30th, 2005|08:54 am]
[mood | spent.]
[music |Cold War - Death From Above 1979]

Alas...another exciting chapter in my life closes...Sarah was a no-show today at court, which was a good thing for me, I suppose...Maybe she had second thoughts about the ramifications of what she had done, and what little I had done, and decided to drop it...Ha, or maybe she forgot or she's hungover or both...Who knows, and who cares...I guess it could have been out of the kindness of her heart, and/or because she does still care about me...I'm just not betting on that, but it is a possibility...I just hope she can live with the choices she has made recently, or starts making better ones in the near future...I hope she doesn't get pregnant or get an STD from some of those nasty people she's been hanging around with, or that she doesn't start drinking all the time or 'casually' smoking pot...Damn...I never, ever thought any of this would happen - I never thought she would turn into what she has...Why did she come to me for help if she knew she wanted to scrape the bottom?..I don't care anymore...I've got too much going on for me with school right now - I HAVE a future, it's just kinda sad that she's not in it...but that's life...Everyone tells me that she was like this the whole time, but I don't believe that...Something happenend - not involving me - that changed her...It made her into this ugly, selfish person that uses people and lies point-blank to their faces...Just like her mom, just like the fuck-ups she calls friends...I don't know what happened, but I would give almost anything to have been there to prevent it, to keep her as the beautiful, kind girl I once loved...I think a lot of it was just example, though...She watched the people around her, like Naomi and that whole ilk, and thought she was missing something...She wants so hard to be part of the crowd, to have X number of people calling her on her cell phone, to be part of something 'happening', to be noticed and wanted by people who consider fellow bar flys their best friends and fuck anything and everything that's around at the moment...Ha, and that's what it is - just fucking...There's no love there, especially from that ugly, LOSER bastard she's with at the moment...That's so empty...I'm just sad to have seen that happen to her...Well, I'm glad all the legal junk is over and I hope time can heal this huge gash...I'd hate to only remember the bad stuff, so I'll just concentrate on the good times...Like the beach, and lying in bed together, after, curled up and safe...Taking pictures of her smile, and remembering times when I trusted and loved her, and felt the love flood back into me...Plans for Austin and the West coast, happy times ahead...Those were the best times of my life, so far (especially compared to what I've gone through in the last year), so that is what I will try and remember most...Ahh, life...I've got to take a nap before I go to class...laters..Z.

[mood | I need a shower.]
[music |Limbic Funk - Scruff]

Community service went down without a hitch today...we didn't start until 8:30 and the good coppers wrapped it up at around 2ish (and this included an hour-and-a-half lunch break)...Maybe today was just a good day, next time might be hell...Today, though, was actually kinda cool - we cleaned up a 'meth house'...
meth/
...for Habitat for Humanity...everyone there seemed to realize it was for a good cause and we all cleaned the place up in no time, with no sour dispositions apparent (little do the cops know that I actually get some kind of sick satisfaction from cleaning, anyways)...of course we'd all rather be somewhere else, but if it's gonna be like it was today then nobody's gonna have a reason to whine...we tore down sheds, pulled weeds, trimmed bushes, and tossed trash into a city haul-off trailer...Taylor was there, too, still working off time from a fight he got into years ago -
fight/
...so it was nice to have someone to talk to, though I ended up talking to just about everyone - including the cops...they were actually pretty cool...just doing their job...well, I have to take a shower and study Japanese for a bit...then get ready to meet some people later tonight for fun/leisure...maybe see Lis(?)...who knows, I have the urge to lay kinda low, but also the urge to see the artsy stuff going on downtown, too...
artsy/
