3:04 am - a brighter world...
|
never have i been prouder of a man or a country than i am this night. i have supported barack obama ever since i found out who he was and looked into his ideas and viewpoints. i voted for him in the primary election. i preached his words and now i will reap the rewards for at least four years.
for the first time in my life, and i'm sure a long time before that, obama is so much more than the lesser of two evils. he is a genuinely good person, and it's convenient that i agree with him on major issues. i will finally be covered under a universal healthcare plan. we are that much closer to a final solution to human rights issues in the united states. the wars will be prioritized, and a new economy set in motion. i was moved to tears during his acceptance speech. i've never had so much fondness in a leader, he is someone i can really look up to.
vince joined my band. reunited at last. the artwork should be done in the next couple days for our album which will be in most stores nationwide come the new year.
december tour. finally.
there hasn't really been any activity with potential females, at all, but the new thing is that i don't really care. honestly. it's working out for now. here's to the new year. byebye.

5:15 am - it turns out you were into yourself...
|
atlanta is treating me well. the recording process has both enlightened and captivated my creativity. i have yet to track the majority of my parts, but thus far i have had significant input down to the finest detail, such as specific drum fills, etc. drums, bass, and rhythm guitar is done. we're working on lead vocals right now, before we layer in my lead guitar parts, synth, piano, background vocals, and programming. some nights and off-days are spent at local bars with our producer and drum tech and their friends. a couple nights have been pretty ridiculous, and i've relied on video footage to recall the nights' events. it's quite an experience being out of your body and watch yourself and your actions later. i will post some of my videos of the recording process as soon as the label comes up with our publicity plans and press release. even if nothing happens after this, (which, let's be honest, is impossible) then i know i will always cherish this experience. it's funny how while i'm home, there is nothing for me there. as soon as i leave, opportunities present themselves. i'm excited for what may happen when i return. it's about time, that's for sure. right now i'm way into lydia's latest album, illuminate. it was all done at our same studio, with our producer, matt malpass. i'm amused how, most nights, we all sit together in the hotel room on our own computers talking on AIM and lurking myspace and whatnot, completely ignoring the existence of each other. oh well, we get enough of each other throughout the days. this sorry excuse for a beard is going to be gone tomorrow i decided. i don't know what else to say, it's already a lot more than i thought. byebye.

3:42 am - seems every line i write's a mess...
|
so what's up? i turned 21 yesterday. age 20 started out as the best, and became the worst, and ended possibly as the best again. i was in love, lost it, lost my best friends and almost failed my classes. eventually, i passed my classes with flying colors, got my friendships back (stronger than ever), and removed her poison from my life forever. now school is out. i quit my job at apple to work as an editor for a production company in phoenix. my work is on tv every day and gets thousands of views online. i'm teaching myself to play the piano. in seven days, i'm going to atlanta for five weeks to sign a record contract and record an album. i just wish i could sleep. even more so, i wish i didn't feel so alone. byebye.

anyone ever thought of any good prospective band names? i'm starting a new band with micah, chris, and kyle and we need a name. we are going to sound kinda like the newest jimmy eat world album, futures, and we are going to blow up by doing hardly any work. it's going to be awesome. also, i need a name for my solo project i'm finally starting. i started writing a song today, let's see if it continues. other than that, i think i'm going to cut my hair... pretty short. i don't know yet. i love michelle, and she loves me :) byebye.

thank you netflix for the 'watch it now' feature, but curse you for being PC only! i just watched imagine, the john lennon documentary. i got kinda depressed and angry that he had to go get murdered like he did. what an amazing man. i wonder how the world would be different today if he was still here. i'm sure he'd have a lot to complain about, and a lot of material. such an extraordinary man as him will never exist again. byebye.

3:59 am - before i run far away...
|
today i got in a big fight with my mom during dinner about how i spend too much time in my room doing god knows what. i suppose this is true. the focus of the conversation wasn't if i had something wrong or that she missed my hugs, or conversation, or company in general, but rather that i wasn't doing my share of chores around the house. i let her win, and she'll get what she wants. i'll make an effort to get my chores done, but that may be the only time they ever see me. it's interesting how my parents don't care about my focus on my schoolwork or anything, and they act like they understand everything. it takes a tragedy to see any love. also, apparently people are talking crap about me to my little brother and he is telling my mom these things, although no one will tell me what these things are or who the people are. no one has anything to say about me that i wouldn't mind being said, but i want to know who is betraying my friendship. stupid fucks. tonight i talked to a stranger online for almost 3 hours. it was a good way to pass the time i would have spent alone online anyway. she's cute, smart, funny, and lives like 400 miles away. that's my luck for you. byebye.

1:28 am - the soft pipes play on...
|
my life has changed more in the past 5 months than it has in the past 5 years. the proudest moment of my life was producing our cd. then, luke quit the band. then, bobby quit the band. then dan had an offer too good to turn down, and he left. then, i started playing with micah bentley. then, tour plans were cancelled. then dan left for tour almost endlessly while i went to college for the first time. i go to scottsdale community college and i have way too many classes. i'm literally busy 24/7 with school, homework, work, and band stuff. i hate this. i'm not strong enough to deal with all this and it's really taking its toll on me. i apologize in advance if you happen to be there when i snap. today is my mom's birthday and edgefest. dan's playing and i'm his tech, sweet. byebye.

3:29 am - lead us past the lives that we destroyed...
|
it's fucking lame, but all i can think about right now is what a psychic told my sister years ago. she said that one of her brothers is going to become famous. i never said anything, but i thought that was weird considering that two of her brothers are in a band together. i thought i was going to be kicked out someday or something. i guess it all makes sense now, and it really makes me think. byebye.

4:27 am - i can go to hell...

i realized that my entries for the past six months all had similar subject lines and i can't remember if i did it on purpose or not. it got old, so this is the last one. tonight i was able to rule out my latest love interest, as painful as it was. i found out she already has a boyfriend, like, a real one. she said she still doesn't know what she wants, but it's just not me. awesome. i fall too hard, too fast. but, i'll be ok. it's ridiculous to think i could change her into who i need her to be, or to convince her that she actually does have feelings for me. i just think if things had happened a little differently, the outcome would change drastically. i feel like i was this close to what i wanted, and ruined it. oh well. time to start the healing process. do you get better at healing with practice, or worse from repeated heartache? if there's one thing i learned the hard way, it's that sticking up for your own feelings pay off in the end, and turn out to be the right thing to do. i wish her the best, and i'll probably never see her again. this has really got me thinking about how my life seems to be turning upside down and i don't seem to have control over any aspect of it. i've started trying to change what i can, and trying to accept what i can't. on the plus side, i finally got my sidekick back today after sending it in for a new one two weeks ago. and, i saw the rocket summer play tonight, and it was fabulous. i'm gay for using the word fabulous. but then again i'm gay for liking the rocket summer. i get to be at work in 4 hours, yay. my birthday is in 11 days, so that's kinda cool. sorta. byebye.

some people surprised me and came to the show tonight. others surprised me and didn't come to the show. it's amazing that people that are supposed to be friends won't do something no matter how important it is to you. we leave for a short tour in like 6 hours. i haven't packed, or slept, yet. time to live it up, hopefully not for the last time. death cab's "plans" is really freakin good. you know what's weird? winking. think about it, it's retarded. byebye.
