come all you weary

Decisions, decisions. I stress myself out.

I am looking forward to the fall and winter. I love cold walks alone.

Lately I cannot get enough Thrice. New thrice that is. Don't get me wrong, I still love old thrice as much as I did when I was younger, but the newer stuff just has so much soul to it. I truly believe they will be a band that stands the test of time. They grow with every album yet never really alienate their audience.

I hate when people complain about aspects of their lives and take no action to fix it.

I am not looking forward to a few things #1 being the fact that I work 10 hours tomorrow.

Getting creative makes me feel good.

I am aware this blog is more scattered thoughts then focused like usual but I guess I have a lot on my mind.

I wonder if anyone reads these posts.

I'm gonna miss Jen when she goes back to school.

All is well, I will rejoice

We are beggars all.

"Night is the harvester of memories. Night is the gatherer of the thoughts that hide in sunlight. Night brings out the inhabitants from the deep cracks that shun the idiotic noise of the masses. Night empowers and makes one bold. True love and the telling of secrets only happens at night. Sunlight is a passionless interrogator. Candlelight brings out the beauty of human form."

This quote was taken from "Do I Come Here Often?" a book by none other than legendary Black Flag frontman, Henry Rollins.

When I read that it was like he read my mind. That paragraph is exactly how I feel about the night. He is an intelligent and interesting man and I plan on reading more of his books.

I really want a bike. It would make getting around so much easier.

if i never make it home tonight..

I looked over all of my blog entries recently and realized it documents a pretty crucial part of my life. I find it neat to go back and read what I was thinking on the night I posted it and re-live whatever was going on at the point.

I also realize most of my posts are when I am bummed out or pissed off, which makes sense because when I am having fun and in a great mood I don't need to get anything out of my system and the last thing on my mind is posting a blog. I hope people don't think I'm a Debbie Downer all the time, I'm usually a pretty laid back and happy dude!

Anyway I only have a minute or two left on my free internet (I'm in london) so I gotta gotta gotta go!

young lions, this is your kingdom

So I am currently typing this blog from my Uncle Paul's attic that has been converted into a bedroom in Dublin, Ireland. It is always nice coming and seeing all my family I never get to see and live life a little differently for a bit. That being said, I miss my friends and girlfriend a lot. I wish I had a cousin who liked slightly similar music to me, I mean you would not think it would be that hard considering I am so open minded when it comes to music.

Things are not going the way I hoped they would. Not even half as good, and I don't really know where my heart is. Sometimes I wonder if it's worthwhile.

I think I am going to get a gym membership when I get back home. I really do not want to become a fat slob. I don't want to be toned or jacked or anything, I just want to do cardio and make sure I'm staying slightly healthy. Plus I bet Jen would appreciate my effort to look nice for her!

If you are not someone who is not very involved with my life (not that anyone reads this blog other than a small handful of my close friends), then I would like to inform you about my new straightedge band, PlanetxDanger. Yeah the name is kinda silly, but I figure, why does a heavy band have to be 100% serious all the time? We are not a joke band, we have songs about family issues, untrustworthy people and trying to figure out who you are and your purpose in life. We also have songs about not wanting to get a job and even a song about zombies.
We just don't take ourselves too seriously at all. We are 5 edge dudes that hang out on the daily. Skateboarding, playing video games, watching movies, and causin' a ruckus everywhere we go. We like to bring our active sense of humour into the band. All this being said, I have worked very hard on crafting 5 songs I believe are solid, not overly generic and I am proud of them. Think Madball, Bad Seed, old AFI, and Champion with some stolen 'Tallica riffs.

It's almost 3 in the morning. This is probably the longest blog I've posted.

you're just jealous 'cause we're young and in love.
