Worn Out...
05.30.04 (10:30 pm)   [edit]
Yeah, it's not from working, so leave me alone. The band has been busting ass to put together another demo of stuff for the fair as well as working on all kinds of new songs. They may even want us to play a few different days at the fair. Guess maybe we don't suck too badly, do we?

That could be getting ahead of ourselves. Of course, now that I say that, I'll probably have jinxed us. Damnit! Anyway...the only real news to update on is this:

Our drummer's getting married on Saturday. Holy crap, that's getting close. The best man would be yours truly, so look for me to let loose on a solid toast. I promised not to drink ahead of time too. No slurred speech for me!

Weddings are overdone, as far as I'm concerned. Of course, that's because I'm not getting married. I just think some people get more caught up in the wedding as opposed to the actual marriage. NOT saying that's the case for my boy, but it's just my personal feeling.

Regardless, I'll be looking studly in the tux as only I can do. Well, me and the rest of the boys in the band. Studs, we are.

As a small side note, I spent a solid three hours talking to one of my best damn friends in the world this week. She and I had a damn good time catching up and I miss her dearly. Hope to see her again soon and if she's reading this, it's great having you home.

Anyway, the only real thought in my brain tonight is that I've been less moody lately, so I've been told. My good friend tells me so and I can't really disagree with her. We began to talk about what it was that was making things different. May have it pinpointed...

I vent my anger much more these days. I'm far more vocal about my anger and/or displeasure towards anyone in particular who happens to cross me. Rather than internalizing, I let it go. And then it's done. Much less pent up anger and agression that way.

But anger is fuel, baby. Used in good ways, as I'm trying to do, it gives me energy to do a lot more. Inspires plenty of angry songs as well. Can't go wrong with that.

Anyway, that's my pisspoor update for the time. Everyone have a good Memorial Day.

Until Then...It's like Fluid when your Spirit surrounds Me...
 
Lazy days...

It's been awhile. I know, my posting is getting more and more infrequent. What can you do? Take it and like it, I guess. So, here are the usual updates...

Nothin doin on the job front. Disappointing but not shocking, I realize. More applications, wahoo. Oh well, I'm making an effort, which is more than you can say for most of the things I do.

Spencero's coming home this week and Filth will be home for awhile too, which means some days of band. I'm excited. Looks like we may get to play more than a few shows this summer. I'll be sure to keep you updated and hope that you all show up, including our number one fan newbie.

Met a damn hot chick while I was out and about. She's actually interested, too. (I know, poor girl right?)Frenchie always said I'm smooth when I drink. Such is the case, although I'm not sure how smooth I looked when my jaw dropped...

Anyway, to my real post topic. There's a certain move that people use that annoys me. I've heard it recently, as I'm sure everyone has at some point in time in their life, and it's bothering me.

I hate when people say, "Yeah, we should get together sometime" or, "Call me, we'll go do something" and don't really mean it. Lying to my face pisses me off more than just about anything. Especially if I know you're doing it.

Look, I realize people are busy. And I also realize that sometimes you just don't have enough time. But if you're going to sit there and claim, multiple times mind you, that you would like to see someone in the near future but do nothing about it, I get annoyed.

They may claim that they'll make effort, but both you and I know that they won't. I hate when people do that. But this is the real kicker.

Finally you see this person out somewhere and what do they say? "Where have you been? I haven't talked to you in forever." You'd do better just to be honest in the first place.

And if you really DO want to see this person, make some effort. It's damn annoying when people want to see you but want you to make all the effort in the relationship. Ridiculous.

Song of the Moment: "Float On" by Modest Mouse. Too good.

Until Then...Be Genuine.
 
Eating My Words

I can't believe I'm about to say this. One of my pretty good friends has said something to me for quite some time that I've always ignored, denied. Well, I'll be damned, I'm going to admit this person is right. As the person would say:

"You have terrible taste in women."

I gotta tell you, as much as I've denied it, it's probably true. This person has been saying it for Lord knows how long and I've always denied it. But the person is right. Let me tell you why.

I've been on my "cleaning house" mode lately. I look at who and what's in my life and see what I feel needs to stick and what can go. It's a time where most people would say I take a damn good look at myself and my world and figure out what I'm happy with and what I'm not. As I mentioned, people are evaluated in this process as well.

Before I go on and someone cries that I'm judging, shut up. I'm simply stating what works well in MY LIFE and who fits well in it. So piss off if you feel you're being judged or indicted.

Well, I'm sitting here and thinking about who I've chosen to pursue throughout my life. Knowing what I do now and seeing some of these people for who and what they are, I'm almost glad they shot me down. Yep, I'm a bit glad to have been rejected.

I don't know what it is, but one way or another I find a way to go after chicks who aren't exactly complimentary to my way of life. Some of them aren't exactly oustanding human beings either.

This transcends relationships though. It's true in friendships as well. Most importantly, it applies to both genders. I'm tired of shallow people. I want nothing to do with them. I'm cleaning house and tending to my own garden, as someone once told me to do.

As a final word, if you feel like some of this deals directly with you, it probably does. I've avoided naming names or making any real indications as to who I was referring to. Figure it out for yourself. And if you feel the pit in your stomach as you read some of this, then you probably deserve to. I have no sympathy.

Until Then...Avoid Shallow Waters.
