lets just say for a minute that you have had a cat for a while, and every day he comes in from the dry exterior of the tucson desert to enjoy a fresh can of chicken-gravy-tuna-almost-clear-if-it-werent-for-the-pieces-of-processed-meat cat food. lets then also assume that your parents with whom you reside (because its more fun to spend money on clerks special edition dvd box sets than rent) have left for a week. lets also surmise that on the eve of the third day this feline has relinquished the afore mentioned activity. could one then hypothesize that the cat will be deceased when my, i mean the anonymous' persons parents get back to their dwelling?

also, what should one then do with a dead cat. stick it in the outside cooler till the family is back to give it a proper burial service?

im trying to look important so pete wont take the laptop back May. 1st, 2006 @ 08:16 pm
ive been keeping a tour journal this time. a co-worker gave it to me with the instructions "you better write in this" abbrasively commanding the cover. so naturally, i have. in the process, ive developed a longing for someone to respond to my entries.

without any more explination, i would like t announce my return to livejournal.

...

unless of course, my computer is still without internet when i get home.

which brings me to my next point. chris coco or trevor, i would appreciate it if one of the two of you would give an attempt to deciferring this riddle for me. its recieving a signal, but not connecting. if you want to, go ahead and go to my room and turn the old dinosaur on and see what you can do.

so now with respect to all good sci-fi films, ill leave you all on edge. because the continuation of this trend is now a question... will i indeed return?

im becoming bitter and quickly loosing trust in most humans. this really isnt the direction i wanted to go in life.

if part of growing up is loosing your youthful idealism, and submitting to the inefficient social structure, than my whole personality would have to change for me to be "fully grown". this is something ive never wanted. instead, i want to stay the studded belt wearing karl marx quotting teenager i was after only a year or so of embracing punk rock.

but right now, i feel completely brought down by society. the struggles ive faced have put me in a situation where money has burdened friendships. capitalism at its most insidious moment.

and there is a bitter taste of distrust in my mouth.... with after effects left only by females.

none of this is what i ever wanted.

my expiramentation in simplicity, though recently has seen less impact in my daily routtine, has proven fairly succesful. for exapmle, since ive moved out, ive had to cook for myself. the first couple weeks, i did the whole "fast food is my diet" thing, and while i did eat alot less, food was only a necessity, and not something i thought very enjoyable. i decided, since i worked at a resaraunt and knew a little about cooking, id start to make my own food. the reasons were because the amount of drive-thru pasta joints are insuffecient, and not my anti-corporate self counter culture... not to say that that is gone or something.

after weeks, and fine tuning my cooking skills, i enjoy the entire process. even to the point where i would like to start growing some of the ingredients on my own.

the point is, when i embrace a needed activity as an opportunity to cherish, as opposed to an unfortunate obligation, the product is better, and my over all mood is more pleasant.

id like to incorporate this into more of my life... but nothing on this earth will make me enjoy the telephone.

...or grocery stores, there are just too many people.

in the near to eventual future, i will get an external hard drive and take pictures of my house for anyone who still has me added to see.

alarm, the louder heavier band i play in, is having its second show thursday night. hopefully some of you can come and well rock out together.

i bought new guitar today... and have become a tool of corporate brand names.

but it sounds pretty freakin sweet!

so i finally get to a computer and myspace isnt working...

wonderful.

its unfortunate how much i realy on that site, but right now my this device is nearly useless to me. id like to try to find some bands, or even better, fint the site of this one band tobias that has members of bleeding kansas that sounds unimaginably like the impossibles. the problem arises with the lack of myspace. i dont know the bands label, so looking for them through that wont work.

im gonna go get my haircut.

im coming home tomorrow, after the show we play tonight in el paso texas...

this tour has been a blast and im dissapointed its coming to an end. but at the same time i miss everyone so much and cant wait to get back to my home... and my roomates. although, im sure theyre dreading the fact that my obnoxiously nasal voice will once again take over those peaceful halls.

we play skrappys tomorrow night and i hope everyone can go. itd be awesome to see everyone one and we all want to brobecks, our touring comrades, to feel welcome.

until then...

tour day two:

i freaking hate high altitudes
my face feels like its at war with itself, because when i get up this high everything in my already-much-too-tiny sinus cavities gets clogged.

also, my phone doesnt work in wyoming. well, evanston for sure, but i dont have much faith in it working in laramie either. so this is all any of you will get from me... not that anyone cares too much, but i know there are roomates/friends/family members that are minorly curious... no?

oh well

besides my bodies tendency to be a bottom dweller, tour has been a blast. the two shows have been amazing, and in a couple days we meet back up with the brobecks, a band we played with last night that were supperb.

yeah, this tour has been a nice escape/release.

thats it for now... untill we find another computer, or untill i get home and get the energy to actually go to the ILC...

i live on my own now

i dont as of yet have a computer, which means this one im using at the studio is my only interaction with the world i once dwelled so often.

my house is pretty cool. my roomates are cool. i play music all the time. my friends are cool. katherine likes my pasta. thats cool. tgk is recording again and it sounds really freakin... cool. im starting to make more at my job. alarm is turning out cool. the first cool house show thats cool is friday.

basically, right now my life is really cool.

petie just walked up to me and said:

"no way!... you found a computer... you must be the happiest guy in the world"

» these fifteen minuites are when im me
today i met a very very cool kid... landon.

he put on a show that easily made this trip one of the most memorable experiences ive had. thus giving me high hopes for the rest of tour now, considering it no longer takes place in california, a state so terribly terribly obsessed with itself.
