    Don't let the days go by, glycerine...

    So, new semester.  Lot of stress.  So far, between school and work, I have little or no free time during the week.  And yet.............there's something different.  I feel a little more hopeful.  I mean, different classes, with different people in em, it's like a new beginning, in a way.  I still have some of the depression, pessimism, and confidence issues.  But I don't know, there's just something different, I don't know what.  Maybe it's from the three weeks off, since I was getting burned out, academically and socially.  I almost feel like I have a new energy, although I don't let it show.  I feel a little more hopeful, although it's a very cautious optimism.

    I've been thinking a lot about myself lately.  That's one of the good things about sitting around bored, you have more time to think.  That's right, everyone's favorite neo-hippy is getting introspective.  Anyway, I realized something.  In the last couple years, things have happened that have made certain of my issues worse.  Some of this was my fault, but a lot of it wasn't.  Those of you who know me well know what events I'm talking about.  Anyway, in my thinking, I reached a conclusion.  I can't forgive some of the people who fucked me over in the past.  I've tried, and I just can't do it.  But the other day, someone said something to me.  She told me that I can't let that shit make me bitter.  Up till this point, I'd let it make me bitter, but I wasn't letting it affect the fact that I'm what most people apparently consider to be a nice guy, a good person, etc.  But it was getting harder, because I was scared, I was letting the social paranoia I had from those issues and events control me.  I can't just forget about those events either, they helped shape me, make me who I am.  But what I can do, is control how much I let them affect me.  Most of those people I've already cut out of my life.  Because, the way I was before, I was close to becoming my own worst enemy, with those issues.  It's gonna be hard, but I need to move beyond that shit.  As I said, this doesn't mean forgiving those people, as quite frankly, I don't think some of them deserve to be forgiven.  But I keep telling myself that if I trust other people too much, I have to be careful, cause they might do the same things some of those other people did.  Because of that, my social life has been affected.  I need to stop letting it affect how I interact with others.  I'm still gonna be cynical, but I'm not gonna let it cripple me socially anymore.  I can't.  So any of you reading this, if I start reverting back to how I was, please, smack some fucking sense into me and tell me to suck it up.  I can do this.  Some other people I know told me recently that I'm stronger than I realize.  I've started to think maybe that's true.  I'm fucking tired of getting my legs kicked out from under me every time I get back up from a bad fall.  But I'm not gonna stop getting up.  I refuse to.  Maybe I'm just being a stubborn bastard, but that's always been a problem with me when it comes to things I think are important.

    05 was a mixed year.  It had some ups, and a lot of downs.  But for some reason, I have a good feeling about 06...

    A Long December )  This song kinda reflects my current attitude about what lies ahead.  It was, indeed, a long December, and there is at least a little reason to believe this year might be better.

    The World I Know )  Another song reflecting my current attitude.  Sometimes, when the bad shit gets overwhelming, you just need to get out, take a look around, to realize just how beautiful the world really is.  Reminds me of home, during the summer, and every time I go back, it seems, when I get stressed, and just go for a drive, with no particular destination.

    Stand By Me )  For all the people that are there for me, to listen to me and tell me everything's gonna be ok.  For the ones who understand me, the friends who are there for me more than just as people to hang out with.  For the people I care about, old and new, who return that to me.  Without you people, I may not be where I am now, I may have crashed completely years ago.

    Never Talking to You Again )  For those people I talked about in the second paragraph.  The ones who used me and fucked me over, and gave me all the fucking paranoia and trust issues I have now.  For the ones I can't forgive, even if I'm gonna try my damnedest to forget em.  For the ones who I can only hope get to read this, so they can see me tell them to go fuck themselves, and that I hope they burn in hell.  Spiteful? Maybe.  Bitter? You bet.  Completely justified?  Fuck yes.  That little semi-rant felt good.

    John Lennon Died For Your Sins
    So, I haven't updated in about a month. This is due mostly to the fact that, when I was gone, the computer at home crashed, and everything had to be re-installed. This was a problem, cause I couldn't remember my LJ password. So, I'm back. I'm sure you've all missed me (I hope you all noticed the sarcasm dripping from that statement).

    So..........Christmas was pretty good, I got some cds, a book, some movies, some gift cards, and, coolest of all...........a DRUM MACHINE!!! For those of you who don't know what a drum machine is, it's a machine that has different drum tones and beats that you can program in. It's basically a substitute for a real live person drumming. This could come in handy with the "Starting a band" thing.

    So I saw King Kong, Munich, and the Producers while I was down there. All were good, although I think I liked Kong the best. Saw all three with people I don't see that often. Kong, I saw with my cousin Andrew. Munich and the Producers I saw with my friend Megan. Why her and I didn't hang out more before last summer, I don't know. I always have fun when we do, it seems.

    So, yeah, back up at school now. Got all my books, put everything back where it's supposed to be, and I did something no one had done at all this school year: cleaned the god damn shower stall. Yup, I cleaned that and the sink. Toilet, I cleaned before I left for break. So I feel better now.

    So, 2005 had its ups and downs. 2006, hopefully, will be better. Not that 05 had more ups than downs, but most of the downs were REALLY bad.

    So I discovered a good thing about extreme boredom. It allows one to be more introspective. That's right, I was doing a lot of thinking about myself. About what I need to change. Problem is, some of it, I'm not quite sure how to change. My issues are so deeply rooted, they go back so far, it'll be hard.

    You might be wondering, what does any of this have to do with the subject header thingy? The answer? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. Couldn't think of any other header though.

    Well, I guess that's it for now. I'll update again.........whenever.........

    I'm a loser, baby, so why don't you kill me?
    Sometimes, I feel like music is my only friend. It's always there for me, it never says anything bad about me, it's actually a pretty good friend. This is also why, in a way, I worship music. It doesn't tell me I'm going to hell. I don't pray to music though, I don't pray to anything. I just believe that John Lennon and Jimi Hendrix died for my sins.

    Seriously though, music is a great thing. Music, often, is an outlet for emotions. This means that there is music for every feeling. For example, if you're very sad or depressed, there's 90s grunge, or 90s alt-rock, or some punk (although this really depends on the band/song. For example, Husker Du = good for depression. Clash = not really, although the fun music can help). However, one must be careful when picking depression music. While many bands that make depressing music leave one with a sense of catharsis, some are almost too depressing. This is especially the case with groups such as Joy Division, in which the singer killed himself. (Remember kids, suicide may be painless, but it's still bad for your health, and it's a bitch to recover from.) But overall, music has a very underestimated healing power.

    For happy music, there is a much wider variety of options. There is classic rock, such as the Beatles (especially pre-Rubber Soul), hard rock, like the Who, Led Zeppelin, or the Rolling Stones, prog-rock (Pink Floyd, ELP, Moody Blues), and most punk (which, with its simple melodies and fun lyrics, make great party music. Metal can go either way, depending on the band and song in question. There are also bands like Modest Mouse.

    Then there's political music. This is one of my personal favorite kinds, because it tends to be a little deeper, and make you think more. Perfect examples of this are Neil Young/CSNY, Pearl Jam (who also fall under grunge, and therefore, fit into two categories), the Clash, the Dead Kennedys, etc. Once again, a lot of punk bands can be found here.

    That's right, I just did a whole Live Journal post about nothing but music. This makes me either A) really cool, B) a loser, or C) the coolest loser to ever live. I don't feel that I'm in a position to decide which one is the correct answer, since apparently, I often think more negatively of myself than I should.

    Christmahanukwanzaka!!!
    So, today, overall, was pretty good. Went to a Christmahanukwanzaka party with all my new friends on the north side. We also did the Secret Santa exchange. I got Eurotrip. It was pretty fun. Although, I did realize today just how awkward I am in large groups like that of people I don't know all THAT well. I was still kinda quiet there today, although I think I'm a little better. I'm not completely sure, but I think a lot of times it's because, for some reason, when in a group made up largely of people I don't know very well, I often feel as though no one really wants me there, and I was just invited to be nice, or something. I don't know why, there's not always even a basis for that, it's just a thing. Maybe it's self-esteem or something, I don't know. Maybe I'm just more fucked up in the head than anyone realized...

    Today was also the 25th anniversary of John Lennon's death, so I have officially declared Dec. 8 to be Beatles day. This means I've been listening to the Beatles all day. Well, as much as I could, since my schedule today consisted of class, work, class, dinner, party. Which means I've had maybe three hours to myself at all today.

    Not sure if I should go to my math class tomorrow or not. On the one hand, I probably should. But, there's gonna be a lot of snow, and it's a review for the final, which I'm already going to the study session for on Sunday.

    So, yeah, I guess that's about it for now. Shall we get on to the quotes?

    He seemed no different from the rest
    Just a healthy, normal boy
    His mother always did her best
    And he was daddy's pride and joy
    He learned to walk and talk on time
    But never cared much to be held
    And so alone he lives his life
    Inside his solitary shell
    As a boy he was considered somewhat odd
    Kept to himself most of the time
    He was lost in his imaginary world
    But in every other way he was fine
    He's a Monday morning lunatic
    Disturbed from time to time
    Lost within himself
    In his solitary shell
    A temporary catatonic
    Madman on occasion
    When will he break out
    Of his solitary shell?
    He struggled to get through his day
    He was helplessly behind
    He poured himself onto the page
    Writing for hours at a time
    As a man he was a danger to himself
    Fearful and sad most of the time
    He was drifting in and out of sanity
    But in every other way he was fine
    He's a Monday morning lunatic
    Disturbed from time to time
    Lost within himself
    In his solitary shell
    A momentary maniac
    With casual delusions
    When will he be let out
    Of his solitary shell?
    -Dream Theater, "Six Degrees of Inner Turbulene: VI. Solitary Shell"

    Jesus tittyfucking CHRIST it's cold out!!!
    So, I noticed I haven't done a real update to this damn thing since Sept. 11th. Some people were kinda bugging me to put something here, so I figured, why not?

    So..............where to start? College life is getting better, I suppose. I've made some more friends, some better friends (you know who you are). I've been spending a lot of time with a girl I've become friends with who is basically the first girl I've ever completely trusted, which is nice. Not sure where things are gonna go, and she seems unsure about that as well. Had a little talk about it last night. I am not at liberty to discuss the details, but it went better than expected, although not as well as I'd hoped. Either way, we're still friends, and she's probably the best friend I have up here, which is cool.

    Um..........what else? Oh yeah, I'm probably failing math. Those of you who know which math class I'm taking know why that's even worse than it'd normally be.

    I'm finally moving on from Asia (with a lot of help from the girl mentioned two paragraphs ago). Still talk to her and stuff, but I don't know, we seem to have grown apart a bit lately. I guess it was inevitable, really. Oh well.

    Today was one of those days where I just don't care about anything. That's not a good thing, it's really not. When I get emotionally numb like this, it's usually a bad sign.

    Thought I'd start doing the whole quote of the day thing again (and yes, like always, it's mostly song lyrics), so...:

    "Only in dreams
    We see what it means
    Reach out our hands
    Hold on to hers
    But when we wake
    It's all been erased
    And so it seems
    Only in dreams."
    -Weezer

    "I'll be comin' home next year
    I'll be comin' home next year
    Everything's alright up here
    If I come down
    I'll be comin' home next year"
    -Foo Fighters

    "Down in a hole
    And I don't know if I can be saved
    See my heart
    I decorate it like a grave
    Oh, you don't understand who they thought
    I was supposed to be
    Look at me now,
    A man who won't let himself be"
    -Alice in Chains

    "That's what life is, a series of down endings"
    -Dante Hicks, "Clerks"

    The Guy Code- Have YOU Broken It?
    1. If you've known a guy for more than 24 hours, his sister is off limits forever! Unless you actually marry her.

    2. When questioned by a friend's girlfriend, you need not and should not provide any information as to his whereabouts. You are even permitted to deny his very existence.

    3. Unless he murdered someone in your immediate family, you must bail a friend out of jail within 24 hours.

    4. A best man's toast may not include any of the following phrases, "down in Tijuana", "one time when we were all piss drunk", or "and this girl had the biggest rack you ever saw".

    5. You may exaggerate any anecdote told to your friends by 50% without recrimination, beyond that anyone within earshot is allowed to yell out "bullshit!". (exception: when trying to pick up a girl, the allowable exaggeration is 400%)

    6. Under no circumstances may two men share an umbrella.

    7. The minimum amount of time you have to wait for another man is 5 minutes. The maximum is 6 minutes. For a girl, you are required to wait 10 minutes for every point of hotness she scores on the classic 1-10 scale.

    8. Bitching about the brand of free beverages in your buddy's refrigerator is forbidden. But gripe at will if the temperature is not suitable.

    9. A friend must be permitted to borrow anything you own - grill, car, firstborn child - within 12 hr notice. Women or anything considered "lucky" are not applicable in this case.

    10. Falling on a grenade for a buddy (agreeing to distract the skanky friend of the hot babe he's trying to score) is your legal duty. But should you get carried away with your good deed and end up getting on the beast, your pal is forbidden to ever speak of it.

    11. Do not torpedo single friends.

    12. On a road trip, the strongest bladder determines pit stops, not the weakest.

    13. Before dating a buddy's ex you are required to ask his permission. If he grants it, he is however allowed to say, "man, your gonna love the way she licks your balls"

    14. Women who claim they "love to watch sports" must be treated as spies until they demonstrate knowledge of the game and the ability to pick a Buffalo wing clean.

    15. If a mans zipper is down, that’s his problem, you didn’t see anything!

    16. No man shall ever be required to buy a birthday present for another man. (in fact, even remembering your best friends birthday is optional)

    17. You must offer heartfelt condolences over the death of a girlfriends cat, even if it was you who secretly set it on fire and threw it into a ceiling fan.

    18. While your girlfriend must bond with your buddies girlfriends with in 30 minutes of meeting them, you are not required to make nice with her gal pal's boyfriends- low level sports bonding is all the law requires.

    19. Unless you have a lucrative endorsement contract, do not appear in public wearing more than one Nike swoosh.

    20. When stumbling upon other guys watching a sporting event, you may always ask the score of the game in progress, but you may never ask who's playing.

    21. If your girlfriend asks to set your friend up with her ugly, whiny, loser friend of hers, you must grant permission, but only if you have ample time to warn your friend to prepare his excuse about joining the priesthood.

    22. Only in a situation of mortal danger or ass peril are you permitted to kick another member of the male species in the testicles.

    23. Unless you're in prison, never fight naked. This includes men who aren't wearing shirts. If your buddy is outnumbered outmanned, or too drunk to defend himself, you must jump into the fight. Exception: if during the past 24 hours your friends actions have caused you to think "what this guy needs is a good ass wuppin", in which case you may refrain from getting involved and stand back and enjoy.

    24. Friends don’t let friends wear speedos. Ever. Case closed.

    25. Fives must be called at all times when getting out of your seat. If not, your seat is up for grabs. However, "house rules" may come into effect, in which case it is left up to the owner of the seat.

    26. Shotgun can be called on anything where a shotgun applies., as long as you are in eyesight of the object, or it is at a reasonable time.

    27. When picking players for sports teams it is permissible to skip over your buddy in favor of better athletes- as long as you don’t let him be the last sorry son of a bitch standing on the sideline.

    28. If you ever compliment a guy's six pack, you better be talking about his choice of beverage.

    29. Never join your girlfriend in ragging on a buddy of yours, unless she is withholding sex, pending your response.

    30. Phrases that may never be uttered to another man while lifting weights:
    "Yeah, baby, push it!"
    "Come on, give me one more, harder!"
    "Another set and we can hit the showers"
    "Nice ass! Are you a Sagittarius?"

    31. Never hesitate to reach for the last beverage or pizza, but not both. That’s just mean.

    32. Never talk to another man in the bathroom unless you are on equal footing: both urinating, both waiting in line for all other situations an "I recognize you" nod will do just fine.

    33. Never allow a telephone conversation with a woman to go on longer than you are able to have sex with her. Keep a stopwatch nearby, hang up if necessary.

    34. You can not rat out a friend who show's up to work or class with a massive hangover, however you may: hide the aspirin, smear his chair with limburger cheese, turn the brightness on his computer way up so he thinks its broken, or have him paged every seven minutes.

    35. If you catch your girl messing around with your best friend, let your states crime of passion laws be your guide.

    36. If your buddy is trying to hook up with a girl, you may sabotage him only in a manor that gives you no chances of getting any either.

    37. Before allowing a drunken friend to cheat on his girl, you must attempt one intervention. If he can get up on his feet, look you in the eye, and deliver a "fuck off" then you are absolved from all responsibility. Later on it is ok that you have no idea what his girlfriend is talking about.

    38. The morning after you and a babe, who was formerly "just a friend", go at it, the fact that you're feeling weird and guilty is no reason not to jump on her again before there is a discussion about what a big mistake it was.

    39. If a buddy has lint, an eyelash, or any other foreign object on his hair or face, under no circumstances are you permitted to remove it. However an appropriate hand gesture may be made to make him aware of it.

    40. An anniversary is recognized on a yearly basis, under no circumstances will anything be celebrated in an interval other than a year

    41. When using a urinal in a public restroom, a buffer zone of at least one urinal will exist at all times. If the only empty urinal is directly next to an occupied on, then you are still required to wait. (Exception: at a sporting event where a line has formed to use the pisser)

    42. When coming to a room which you know is occupied by your friend and possibly another girl, you must knock and wait for an adequate response. If no response occurs, and the door is locked, a 10 minute period is required before knocking again.

    43. The only time dicking over a buddy for a girl is legal, is when the girl ranks a 8 or above on the 1-10 scale. (exception: a girl may rank from 5-7, as long as there is oral sex involved).

    44. A mans gotta scratch what a mans gotta scratch. This applies to picking as well. Let the man be.

    45. No man shall ever watch any of the following programs on TV:
    Figure skating
    Men's gymnastics
    Any sport involving women (unless viewed for sexual purposes)

    What do I put if I can't think of a subject?
    So, I noticed that my last entry was a downer, so I figured I should update this thing.

    Well, things are better between me and Asia, at least for the time being. It'll be interesting, I think, to see how long it lasts.

    So, we did, possibly, our last movie night till next summer tonight. Me, Rob, Qasim, Qasim's new girl Crystal, and Anthony. Good times. Too bad Matt and Shaun couldn't go.

    I got two books I've gotta read before I go off to college. Fun. Actually, one of em, the Kite Runner, I wanna read, cause I've heard nothing but good things. The other, though, is Shakespeare. Bleh.

    I've been bored most of the summer, but I'm getting used to it.

    So, yeah, that's all the major things I can think of right now, so I guess I'm done for now.

    Quote of the day:
    "Do you remember when the first snowfall fell?
    And summer barely had a snowball's chance in hell
    Is this your celebrated summer?
    Is this your celebrated summer?
    Do you remember when the first snowfall fell?
    Was that your celebrated summer?"
    -Husker Du, Celebrated Summer

    "I just want a lover like any other
    What do I get?
    I only want a friend who'll stay to the end
    What do I get?
    What do I get?
    Oooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhh what do I get?
    I'm in distress I need a caress
    What do I get?
    I'm not on the make I just need a break
    What do I get?
    What do I get?
    Oooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhh what do I get?
    I only get sleepless nights
    Alone here in my half-empty bed
    For others things turn out right
    I wish it'd only happen to me instead
    What do I get?
    Oooooohhhhhhhh what do I get?
    What do I get? No love
    What do I get? No sleep at night
    What do I get? Nothing that's nice
    What do I get? Nothing at all, at all, at all, at all"

    Now that I got that outta my system, an update is coming soon, and probably not a good one
    Friday, June 3rd, 2005
    12:09 am
    So, let's see, last time I posted more than one sentence, that wasn't a survey or the like, was back in April. I figure that means it's time to update again. Ideally, I'd like to put something at least once a month, but sometimes, not much actually happens.

    Anyway, so what's happened since then? Um.......let's see...saw Star Wars, it kicks ass! Got pissed off at Kate, for not bringing my movies back, and I kinda went off on her. Oddly enough, it felt really good.

    But the main event of last month, is that I'M OUTTA SCHOOL NOW!!! Graduation's tomorrow night. After that, I honestly don't know if I'll ever wanna go back to that place.

    I wish I could give an Asia update, but there's really no update to give, unfortunately. Basically, all the plans we make seem to end up getting fucked up. It's looking like she won't be able to do the relay this weekend, and she may or may not have gotten the invite to my graduation party (her mom would've gotten to it before her, and very possibly may have like, hidden it or something, from what Asia said), and she probably won't be able to go anyway. Dammit, all my plans to see her don't work! WHY?!!! Her and Jaret are going up to Camp Dearborn this summer for a week, and she wants me to come too, so hopefully that'll work out, but I don't know. I can't help but feel like her and I are growing apart, cause we never get to see each other.

    Lookin' for a job now. If any of you guys reading this can hook me up, it'd be much appreciated.

    I've gotten really into the Rolling Stones in the past week or so. I burned their Forty Licks compilation (basically a greatest hits thing), and it's awesome. They also did the only song I can remember ever hearing that moved me so much I almost cried the first time I heard it (not proud of that, but then again, I've admitted a lot of things before that I wasn't proud of, why should this be different?). It's called Angie. I don't know why it has that effect on me, I think it may be because, the lyrics, in a way, remind me of my situation right now. As much as I hate to admit that.

    I'd put the whole "quote of the day" thing, like I normally do, but honestly.........I got nothin'.

    Current Mood: pessimistic
    Current Music: Rolling Stones- Angie, Foo Fighters- Doll

    Six songs that I love and/or mean a lot to me (In no particular order):
    1. Pink Floyd- Wish You Were Here: This song always evokes a lot of emotions in me, depending on my life situation at the time. Usually it's emotions like love and things like that.
    2. Rolling Stones- Wild Horses: My favorite Stones song, and my favorite love song. Well, I think of it as a love song anyway. It's about a guy who would do anything for the girl he loves, and wild horses couldn't drag him away, I think that's a love song.
    3. Joy Division- 24 Hours: Depressing, but cathartic somehow. The ultimate depression song. I would never listen to it while depressed, but still, great song.
    4. Weezer- Suzanne: Reminds me of a very special person in my life right now (you know who you are.).
    5. The Who- Baba O'Riley: Also known as "Teenage Wasteland", the all-time greatest Who song, and one of the all-time great rock songs. Just a classic teen angst song.
    6. Led Zeppelin- Over the Hills and Far Away: Most calming song ever, with a beautiful acoustic intro, and some of Robert Plant's all-time best vocals. I love playing this song when I'm depressed or stressed out, it just makes me feel better.

    Tag 5 people to complete this next. You're it:
    1. Justin
    2. Asia
    3. Steve
    4. Kate
    5. Kasey

    Variety Show Suckiness

    So, yeah, I was in the Variety Show tonight. I did pretty damn good, played the song almost perfectly. I did so awesome, all the settings on the amp were perfect for the effects and everything.  I kicked all kinds of ass.

    Then, I heard "TURN IT UP!" I realized my amp was turned down too low! This was about 3/4 of the way into the song, mind you. I turned it up anyway, and played the last 1/4 better, but I was pissed at myself.

    So Asia said she'd try to hang out with me this weekend, even if it's for an hour or so, cause she said she needs to see me, which is nice to hear.  I e-mailed her tonight to ask if she knew yet if she could see me, didn't get an answer.  Hopefully I'll find out tomorrow.  God, it's so damn hard to figure this shit out now that she has no phone.

    But, yeah, I'm tired, and Family Guy's on, so I'm gonna stop writing now.



    Current Mood: pissed off
    Current Music: Music for when you're pissed at yourself. Whatever that is.
