Winter

It is that time of year again. Cold and rainy. Almost seems like a black metal song come to life. Crowds of footballers run threw the streets hollering the old fight songs made popular by their fathers and mothers. I am currently stuck in a tiny office, tucked away in one of the corners of this massive, ill-organized library. My ill mood from school work and lack of sleep has been doubled by rejection from a loved one. I knew in time it would come and to some degree it is not too bad. Its pretty horrible, like getting shot in the stomach but it could be much worse. I could be dead or being tortured in a dungeon forever.  Right now my only desire is to get home. Not the apartment that I sleep in down the road, but home, in Montgomery. I want to be in my own environment where I feel in control. The place where I dont feel so shitty all the time, only part of the time.

This has been the worse year of my life easily. Starting graduate school is turning out not to be a good idea. I have friends here but most are leaving soon or involved in being in couples that if you did not know them you swear they were married. I love them but i hate that. My grandmother is dead. I did not get the girl. I hurt people all the time with poor decisions.  I found out I may have Charcot-Marie-Tooth disorder and depression. I am surrounded by people I do not know, will never know, and care not to know. I feel like a giant cancerous tumor walking around town (i kinda like that though).

nothing much to say else right now. staying in doing homework after work/lunch.

Back

Well it seems I have been on a couple adventures in the past couples weeks.  Firstly, was the trip to Memphis to see the Gories and Oblivians play. Due to some complications and time issues, I had to drive, but in the end it was worth it. The Gories took fucking forever to come to the stage is play, which is a bit annoying but they played very well and it was great seeing one of my favorite bands on stage for the first (and last?) time.

By the end of the Gories, I was exhausted. I hung back during the Oblivians, but they were really good either way. I got a little tired and sick feeling, and knowing I had a long drive ahead of me, I went to the car to rest a bit. The lady parked next to me was the drummer of the Gories and she kept hitting me car with her car door. I checked to see if I was parked too close to that line, but I parked perfectly. She is kinda rude about it and seemed very drunk. No one is perfect.

Upon leaving, Katie, Will Granger, and myself make our way to a Regions ATM machine. Before pulling up we are privy to a shooting. I did not get the best viewing of the scene but upon hearing those gunshots, I got the fuck out of there in a hurry. Memphis, even the nice parts, seemed dirty which had its own fear inducing charm.

I would write about my recent trip to Tuscaloosa to look at apartments, but nothing much happened, but I was able to see Stephanie and Alex so that was nice. Any help with this project of finding a decent and cheap apartment would be grand.

Other than that nothing much going on in my life. Still cannot find a job, the band is going alright, and I shaved my beard off.

Hey, sorry.

I know it has been a while since I lasted updated, but boy I have been decently busy. By busy I mean, watching Wife Swap, listening to records, and being out of town. I will make this a short entry, however I do have a few items of interest or opinion.

- Chuck Klosterman. Ok , I enjoy reading his books and I think he writes well, but at the same time he is kinda a douche.

-I bought Scanners today. Hooray!

- I was in Kansas City with my parents recently. On the day we were leaving the driving that was picking us up locked us all out of the car. We tried to get back in the car various ways, but it all came down to a hammer. The driver could not get the window busted with the hammer so I took a couple wacks. I busted the window with the hammer but in doing so I cut the living crap out of my finger. I was too angry at the time to even worry about the blood flowing down my hand. We missed the flight in the end and had to stay an extra day, which kinda sucked but maybe I will get a wicked neat scar out of this ordeal.

Glass Bones, Paper Skin

Of late I have been depressed but it seems that events are coming through and sooner or later I shall be a-ok. So maby concerts, trips, and projects coming up that I do not have the time be be a sad sack.

Anal Cunt in Birmingham, Bama-Lama, Gantt and Shannon’s wedding, The Gories and the Oblivians in Memphis, work, various trips to the beach/Huntsville/Atlanta/Birmingham. no time to be sad as much as my gut tells me to be.

I had a whole paper I had worked out in my head about love and the like but in the end I figured I should keep it to myself. A little too much for me to put to paper or screen(?) and overall a bit silly and much. It was really aimed at one person and I do not think this is the best venue for that either.

Not a lot to say otherwise. I began my work for the Montgomery Biscuits the other day. It is not too bad. Most of the time I am moving around carrying various items to various stands for 6 or so hours. My knees are hurting a lot of late but other than that I have not really hurt myself.

Soon, more than likely tomorrow, I will do another radio show. It has been a couple months, I know, but this one will be a little longer to make up for that. hooray!

I have been planning to write something important?, but I have not had the time. I will however point out a couple things of interest and close out with a few pictures I like.

1. Saw Adventureland. I went in the film thinking that is will be a Superbad-like film seeing as it was directed by the same director. I was wrong. While the film does have some dick,fart,boner and dude jokes, its is certainly not a dumb movie. A post-college guy has to work at a shitty amusement park in order to get to Columbia grad-school. On the way he meets various characters falls in,out and back in love and everything is a-ok somewhat. The plot may seem ho-hum but it does prove to be entertaining. I liked the characters more than I thought I would and found myself laughing often and full. Not a perfect movie but it charmed the shit out of me.
2. Fuck FYE. Beatles cds do not equal 20 dollars and new cds should not be 18.99 ever.
3. I talked to the lady at the blood bank today about me being sad and my lack of sleep. She seemed very worried and asked if I needed or went to church. I said no on both but she was ok about that. She was pretty neat.
4. Went to a thrift store where the patrons near me discussed how Obama is a secret Muslim and how Muslims are the enemy of Christians and Jews. I left very quickly, fearing my atheist and liberal ways.
5. Found a Horsemartin record today!
6. Had a nightmare again last night but today was not too horrible.

i love you

i love you

Odds and Ends

1. I have been reading a lot of Daniel Clowes lately. Well maybe not a lot but I just finished David Boring and starting a collection of his Eightball comics. I am liking it a lot. I have yet to read Ghost World but hopefully I can secure of copy.

David Boring
art school

2. I thought I would mention my thoughts on the upcoming baseball season. I am going to be around baseball more than usual this year because of my job working with the Montgomery Biscuits. Anyway hear we go.

Chicago Cubs- More than likely be good during the season but blow it in the playoffs…again. damnit.
Detroit Tigers- Will be ok but wont make the playoffs. White Sox and Minnesota will do better, as usual.
Boston Red Sox- I think they will win the division and more than likely win the World Series. Cannot go wrong with picking the Red Sox every year of late. They replace lost talent very well every year and have a decent farm system.

3. I know I am really behind on the times with this one but I am really enjoying the episodes of the Mighty Boosh I have seen so far. Very funny, out of the mind references and a talking gorilla equals to fun times. Also I saw Richard Ayoade in an episode, which makes everything much, much better.

One of these days I am going to do a entry on politics but I haven’t the mind or knowledge for any of that right now.

Boring, I am

First off, yes I named this after the Wipers song. I am very surprised it was not already taken by someone else. The song is brilliant.

I guess the purpose of using this service is to cut back on some of the internet clutter I have floating around in cloud that is the internet. facebook, myspace, livejournal, last.fm, the lists goes on. If I can get ride of most to all of these sites from my life I can focus simply on this hot mess which then I can eventually grow distant from.

While this is a scheme to destroy my internet addiction, I still plan on posting and taking care of this little site. Pictures and videos while be included more often than my shitty writing.

eatin mmm

I went to Atlanta today to pick up two of my cousins, Kenny and Evan. They came down from Virgina to get various things from my recently deceased grandmothers house. Fun was had. I was a little worried on the way there because I started to fall asleep which usually only happens to me during night driving. I chalk it up to having a disappointing and saddening nights before. Secret.

Montevallo depresses me now kinda.
Ok, no more. Tune in later.
