  • At Least I'm Not As Sad (As I Used To Be)

    The End of October and Early November has been kind of a rough time for me. It just seemed that I got just bad news after bad news to the point I honestly just didnt know where to start and kind of went into a funk. I got let go from my job at arclight. My bike broke and I needed to buy a new one. I got a $174 ticket for crossing the street. My cousin's baby was born a stillborn. My friend/roomate got cut off by his parents and told me that if he doesn't have a job by Thanksgiving that it might lead to him having no choice but to move back to CT which i know my other roomate would join him in a heartbeat. I got a sickness that can only be described as a sort of urinary tract infection/enlarged prostate. That specifically made the motivation to Job hunt and do anything rather trying. The timing of it all was poor at best. I did have enough for Rent but Im severely worried for the coming month. Its hard to describe the frame of mind I have been in now that its starting to clear away with good news of the doctor telling me nothing is wrong with me and the hope i got when i got hired by Boston Market. I have also kind of realized a bit better of how much im hanging on by my fingernails out here. I only try and worry about Rent when really i NEED to worry about that, Water and Power, gas and little things on how i need a new computer and Ipod because I dont have a computer or a fully functional Ipod. Also I've been trying to save money for a new tattoo but it seems like every time im close, Something new happens. I've been on Xbox more often lately and now that there's an update soon where I'll be able to go on Facebook, Twitter, and Last.Fm on Xbox it will seem like a computer to me more than a gaming system. 2009 is in the final weeks and it really did seem like it flew by. I sadly gained some weight since i was eating unhealthy and lack of exercise since losing my job and Halloween Candy and Drinking time. I'm at 200 which is a place i dont want to stay. I made a silent vow to myself after all that weight loss that i would never allow myself to be heavier than 200 ever again. So now that i have a job again which ill bike ride 4 miles to Hopefully I'll shed some weight back off. It also gave me time to think. Im not ready to leave L.A. yet. It feels like I now have reasons to stay here. It may have took 2 years for that to happen but Yeah I miss every one back in CT but It feels as though I'll miss CA just equally. Being as though Thanksgiving is a stone throw away and being a little uplifting after that downer of a introduction. I guess I'll take this time to say somethings I'm thankful for. I'm most thankful for the little things in life i have. I'm thankful for my drinking buddies and a place to crash after a long night. I'm thankful for people that forget to call you because they already assume you're already there. I'm thankful for all times food and drink are shared with no questions asked. I'm thankful for all the things that were never said because you don't need to say it. I'm thankful for all the love that is overlooked but never taken for granted. But most of all, after 2 years of being alone in CA, I'm thankful for the little fact that when I asked for some friends, I got a family instead.

  • A Cold One.

    It seems as though every couple months i find myself back here. I guess when you dedicate so much to a hobby or a habit, it really does stay with you longer than you realize. This site has always meant alot to me. There is something therapeutic about putting your hopes, fears, and frustrations into literature . And despite how somber this entry sounds, I still plan on doing so. I'm just checking and I hope I 'll get a chance to wite up a btter entry on what I'm thinking about or what I've been up to.

  • Been a while

    I had written a rather long entry in my journal that i do plan on typing out soon and then posting and it'll go over for the most part what I've been up to for the months of March and April. A friend of mine gave me a pretty awesome idea that i think I'm going to expand on. At first he just said how a song by My Chemical Romance reminded him of a epic gunfight in a music video kind of sense. The wheels of my imagination started turning and it turned into me thinking about ideas for a Goth Punk Western. A good Analogy for would be what Umbrella Academy did for the superhero genre is what i want to do for the Western genre. This world of Macabre would fit really well with the gritty and lawless of a western town. A gunslinger with Colt .44 magnums looking like a human Jack Skellington branding his own brand of Justice and Revenge. DAMN this thing is practically writing. I'm going to have to research some classic western like influences like 3:10 to Yuma and Trigun and blend them with the artistic taste of albums like "The Black Parade" and "Red Of Tooth And Claw". That would be Bad ASSS. Well i guess I'll keep you guys posted on it.

  • 25 random things about me

    1. I love dying my hair different colors and getting haircuts. I guess I don’t like the same style for very long.

    2. Even though I love many movies, JAWS is still my favorite movie since I was 12 when I first saw it and I don’t see it being dethroned anytime in the near future.

    3. Every Time I have Smartfood popcorn, I will proceed to be sick until I throw it up. No matter how little of the amount I have.

    4. For the last time, I DIDN’T come out to California to be in the “Movie Biz” or to “Make It Big” unlike 90% of the people who did come out here. I came out here because…. I still don’t know why exactly but what’s done is done

    5. I wouldn’t have made it as long as I did if it wasn’t for the generosity of not only my loving family but also my friends/roommates’s loving family

    6. Ever since I graduated from High school, My musical taste has gotten broader and more involved and now I look back at some of the stuff I used to listen to and laugh.

    7. My love for Music is one of the few constant things in my life like the love I have for my family.

    8. I have gotten back into comics over the last couple years and I do believe that graphic novels and Trade paperbacks are the wave of the future.

    9. I still don’t have any idea what I’m doing or what I’m going to do.

    10. About 5 months ago I went on a diet and I went from a 38 waist to a 34 and I’m still technically on a diet consisting of starving myself, Low Carb/No sugar Energy Drinks, No Soda, and my sit ups and push ups.

    11. One of the things I hate the most is the feeling of being judged by someone who has a “I’m better than you” attitude.

    12. Even though Arclight cinemas isn’t necessarily the best job, I have nothing but gratitude towards it because of all the cool people I met there that have turned into good friends. With the exception of a few people, It took me two years to really find some good friends like them.

    13. Yes. I drink. I like the taste of beer and the mix of flavors in a mix drink. I don’t drink to forget or to drown my sorrows. I don’t drink so I can feel something. I drink because I like the taste and the feeling of hanging out with good people having a drink.

    14. I don’t smoke pot or do really anything outside of drinking. I never had a desire for it and I don’t think I ever will. I get creeped out if I just take sleeping pills.

    15. One of the biggest and only regrets in my life was how I didn’t take college seriously. I failed because I never went to class. I wish I could go back and not fool around. I do believe that things would be a lot different but sadly I was just too immature back than to care.

    16. There are days when I feel like I abandoned everything in CT for no good reason. Like I left them before I could get hurt by them leaving me. It’s like some weird Freud like theory that I tend to blow off as bullshit.

    17. I LOVE my Green Lantern tattoo and I can’t wait until I go back home so my cool brother in law could draw another one on me. I’m thinking something to do with music or another symbol that stands for something cool.

    18. I’ve been thinking about it for a long time and I do get the feeling that I have a mild case of Sleep Apnea where that is you have trouble or even stop breathing while you sleep. It would explain my snoring and how I can get many hours of sleep but yet I would still be tired and the constant nose bleeds.

    19. When I was an Infant I had an accident where a piano seat fell and broke my nose and I almost died and that is what I think is the reason for the problems I have breathing while I sleep and nose bleeds.

    20. I’m just going to come out and say it… I’ve never had a girlfriend or in that sense I have never had sex so therefore I am a Virgin. Its not by choice.. well some choice because I didn’t want to sleep with someone I wasn’t attracted to or I didn’t have enough spending money to put towards a call girl. Its because for years upon years I had no self esteem or confidence in myself. Being in California and on the diet has giving me some perspective and some confidence/self esteem but sadly it took 23 years for me to get it

    21. I have made truly great close friends through Xanga and the internet in general and despite never meeting them or knowing what they’re actually like. I hold their friendship and advice in the utmost high regards. It has a “outside looking in” kind of perspective with their advice but most of all They are awesome.

    22. I don’t have a car but I do have a bicycle which I love riding for the exercise and just the overall quickness of it all. I do admit my little Saturn that I had to get rid of before I moved out to CA. The bicycle is another thing I thank for helping me loose weight through the exercise of riding it 6 miles to work and then 6 miles back.

    23. In general, I think I have more perception of what’s real like. I guess this is a result of some other things I’ve mentioned like less insecure and more world-worn or how I’ve become less tolerant of certain things but then again I may have changed in ways I haven’t realized yet and some are illusions of change. I guess Ill never truly know.

    24. I do really enjoy cooking up recipes and what not. The turkey I cooked up for thanksgiving was possibly the tenderest and delicious turkey I have ever had.

    25. For some reason, Electronic devices hate me and almost self destroy themselves after a little while of me using them, unlike the earphones I go through like water because I fall asleep wearing them while I listen to music
