wow [25 Sep 2008|04:59am]
I completely forgot I had this. I'm not sure if I'm going to start using it again or not. If I do it will probably just be to post things I'm writing or song lyrics that I'm currently obsessed with.
Its been a very eventful year to say the least.

Maybe ill try to write about everything sometime.



Text me if you still read this.

I guess i should update...


I can't really complain about anything right now. There is still a ridiculous amount of tension when im around my dad. We don't argue as much anymore, but i cant tell he's still mad that i dont want to 'carry on his legacy' or whatever.

Work is pretty good. I don't hate my job yet, so i guess thats a plus. Uh not much to say, work is work.

I still owe about 800 bucks on my tickets. Then i can finally start driving again, well legally anyway.



In other news, ive rediscovered an old favorite song. 'Moments In Love' by Art Of Noise.
This song has been sampled so many times it would be impossible for you not to know the melody.
(Tech N9ne, Bone Thugs, MIMS, Ashanti, and Lloyd off the top of my head)
This is one of those background noise songs. I put it on and keep the volume kind of low. It kinda forces you to block everything else out to hear it better which helps with stress release and whatnot.

If all goes according to plan, ill be moving in with my sister from another mister in september.




My Red Horizon family will be back in town next week. drunkness will ensue.

[ music | Lacuna Coil - What I See ]

Last night I had the best night ive had in a very long time. I got off work at about 11:45 and walked to bart to catch the last train out of fremont. Then, i literaly ran into this girl that i havent seen in probably 8 months or so. She was going to the city with her two friends. They didnt have a plan, only a time to be back at the bart station for the first train back from the city. So i thought to myself, 'When the hell am i ever going to see this girl again' and decided to go with them.

After starting a conversation with a random black lady that was going to the city as well, we all transfered at the 12th street station. We talked with the black lady about where we should go when we get to the city, and she suggested a 24 hour diner called orphan andy's. It was in the casto, where jessicas friend wanted to go anyway, so it worked out great. 

Right before our stop, another random lady on the bart started talking to us because Jessica and her friend Danae were hanging from the handrail things on the roof. Apparently that made her night, and we started talking about stuff to do in the middle of the night in the city. Our stop came up, she commended us on our sense of adventure, and we were on our way.

We started off down market street towards the castro, and stopped at safeway to get some alcohol. As we walked down the street we heard a group of drunk guys singing Bohemian Rhapsody at the top of their lungs, so what else is there to do but join in. They were across the street, mind you, so we are like yelling to each other between the night owl buses and the street cleaning trucks. A few blocks later they arrive at their bar and we part ways. According to the random bart lady, the diner should be just one more block.

We get to orphan andy's and immediately i knew it was a good decision. There were drunk gay people outside being drunk and gay. Our server was loud and kinda reminded me of Dane Cook. Once we got comfortable with the place it was on. We poured our change into the jukebox and made this place into a karaoke bar. Jessica was dancing with all the gay servers. Oh, good food too :-p

After a while i decide to have a smoke, and Danae follows me. We start talking about things I cant remember right now and all the different gay pins in the window of the store next door. We finished each others sentences left and right. All i could do was smile at her. After about another 40 minutes of us being outside alone, Jessica and Jason come outside to find us making out on the bus stop bench across the street. They whistled at us and applauded and all that good stuff. It was pretty funny. I could have sat on that bench with her forever.

Anyway, we left the diner 3 hours later at about 5 o'clock. The train came just as we got to the station. Danae fell asleep on me and Jessica and Jason were making kissy faces at me the whole ride home. We transfered to a fremont train at Bayfair and used that time to say our goodbyes. We got to my stop, I gave her one last kiss and started to walk home.

I got home at about 6:30 and I slept until an hour ago.



Nights like that make everything worth it.




I dont know how to end this entry so im gonna go get ready for work (5-close)

Okay so my brother got a 360 yesterday, but i have to be like a ninja when i play it because of my dad. See he seems to think that video games are for kids and i should have grown out of them by now (im fricken 20, but whatever) so while im still living here at home i cant play video games. At least not when hes home ;)

Anywho, today was a good day. I woke up around 1pm, feeling tired as hell because i slept for more than 5 hours (thats another post completely) i waded through the mass of clothes between my bed and the door, handled my business, and stared at the internet for about an hour. My older brother got home from CCA with a cake and some tarts he made. The tart was good but the kiwi in it was like crunchy almost, and it kinda scared me. I decided to get dresses/cleaned up around 2:30 and convinced my brother to drop me off at the bart station at about 3:15 even though I didnt have to be at work til 6. I actually enjoy being at work. Everyone there and at gamecrazy are completely awesome. Going to work is something I truly look forward too. The shit pay is ofset by the awesomeness of the job and my coworkers, not to mention i get to play video games whenever I want at Gamecrazy :-p


Work wasnt too bad. Kinda busy, but not too crazy. 28 Weeks Later came out later, so i guess everyone went to see it. I rented Dead Rising and Lost Planet for 360, fuckin score. Free rentals = love.


Hopefully ill be buying myself a new cell phone next paycheck, if not it will be next next paycheck :-p


I think thats it for today....


Life is finally taking its foot off of my neck. Im on my way out of the ashes.

First post.


The is all part of a larger process of rebuilding and self realization. Im on my way out of some serious bullshit that was going on with my family and i think were all a lot closer because of it.


A new leaf has been turned over, and I want to thank everyone thats been down with me no matter what.


Theres going to be some real shit posted here and I wont apologize for anything. I get fed up sometimes and this is my release valve.


This is life. This is wrong. This is right. This is me.
