11:52 am - I could eat nothing but Mexican food for a year

Enchiladas 2 by inkynobaka

It would have to be Mexican food. You could have a different dish at every meal for a decade and never repeat. And we're not even talking variations, these are completely distinct meals. Ah, variety. :)

8:34 am - Here, have a million dollars

Somewhere in Arkansas is the nicest man I have ever met. His name is Mike Schmitt. I only met him once. He saved my life as well as my friend's. I'm not sure what might have happened if he hadn't stop to help us that night. I think about him at least once a month and wonder if I can ever repay him for the kindness he bestowed on two complete strangers.

8:30 am - The Giving Tree brings me back

I'm 4 years old and my mother read the book to me the previous night. I remember walking across the street from my grandparent's house to my great-grandparents house and staring at their four-story pecan tree in their yard. I sat underneath it for hours wishing it would talk to me. Wondering what it might say or tell me stories about what it had seen.

Hey! I was 4. hehe

(1) Pair of Crocs for all band, crew & tour manager.
Everyone should walk around in comfortable shoes before and after the gig.

9:06 am - My song about Hoboken, NJ

Ho-Bo-Ken - There's a bar on every corner. Enough beer to drown an ocean liner. As long as you can reach the counter you'll drink till you pass out or beat up a townie! Ho-Bo-Ken

8:58 am - Seat me next to the irritating talker, please

I have the uncanny ability to tune people out and think about other things, but still mimic interest. This comes from working at a chemical plant for years with Chemical Engineers who love to hear themselves talk.

8:54 am - The breakup

Spring of 2000. My high school girlfriend who was 2000 miles away decided it best to break it off via email. Email sent from a computer I gave her and setup so we could communicate while I was away at college. Not even a phone call. Durrrr That is some cold shit.

(Enrage Me)

8:50 am - I'll spend my golden years in Estes Park, CO

Estes Park is beautiful year round. Even covered in three feet of snow its awesome. The people are extremely friendly and the scenery is breath-taking. Plus you're a short drive to Denver for anything else you might need.

8:47 am - Fool me twice, shame on

Freshmen year of college. There was this kid nicknamed "Porn" who would sit in his room all day, hence the name. The guys on my floor decided to seal him by constructing a door of duct tape across the door frame. They left a window made of saran wrap for the peep hole so he wouldn't notice. To add insult to injury they filled the gap between the two doors with packing peanuts and then knocked. I'm not sure what was more hilarious. The scream from the packing peanuts falling on him or his fetal attempts of breaking thru the duct tape by ramming it with his head. He wasn't very bright. I think he works for Lucent now. haha

8:44 am - Where can I park my Escalade with gold rims?

If the Escalade ran on a water engine or had a hybrid engine. The Prius is way to small for me to sit in comfortably. I'd sell the gold rims. hehe

1:42 pm - you know...
I was standing outside a restaurant last night and had an epiphany. I couldn't remember the last time I was this happy. What I mean to say is, you tend to remember the great moments. They're burned into your memory, each one a mixture of emotions for various reasons.

Sadly, the moments of extreme emotion are tied to death for the last several years. It's such a drag to think your memories of an entire decade are riddled with pain, anguish, and loss. I know it makes me a stronger person. Blah etc, etc..

The happy extremes are less abundant since the turn of the century, but I've got thousands of medium happy ones to keep it company.

I tend to picture memories just hanging around in my head, each reminiscing of yesteryear. Much like the opening sequence of "Being Erica" - strange Canadian television. Much to my surprise, they show it locally on the "SOAP" network. odd.

Back to the subject of being happy, of which I am. Its a great feeling. Its a ball of mushiness, warm-gooeyness, with a frosting of magic and sprinkle of hope.

I can't see very far into the future anymore. I'm sure I'm standing in my own way when it comes to that, but its okay. I kinda like not knowing. I like this ride and I'm not getting off.

9:22 am - Don't say 'facetious' around me

facetious
My cousin Gui learned of this word back in high school and proceeded to use it incessantly. $10 dollar words do not make you a $10 dollar man. hehe Plus it amused the hell out of me when I found out it was a euphemism for erotica.

10:15 am - Priorities
Hundreds of years from now, it will not matter what my bank account was, the sort of house I lived in, or the kind of car I drove... But the world may be different because I did something so bafflingly crazy that my ruins become a tourist attraction.

8:48 am - interesting.
I don't want to know what my future is. I just want to be guaranteed happiness.

8:33 pm - Took some time
But I'm starting to feel whole again.
Death has a habit of removing large pieces of your heart and refusing to give them back.
Like that kid in kinder that took my soccer ball and wouldn't give it back. Even after I took it back and ran away, he found me and bit into my arm. I have now personified death as that kid who bit me after I reclaimed my toy. Death is a bully.

I'm starting to sleep again. I forgot what that was like. For the past 6 months it took me about an hour to fall asleep and then I only slept for 30 minutes at a time. All I did was worry. This pain in my stomach, a knot of sorts. If I keep myself in check I can fall asleep thinking about the past, before it started to get dark, it hurts to imagine the future right now. I'm sure that's a terrible thing to say, but its the truth.

I think I'm getting to good at covering up what's wrong or at least the real me. This wall I've been tinkering away at since before I can remember is pretty much complete. No holes, no cracks, you can't even see the seams. Its got doors though. Heavy, bolted doors. I'm not sure why some people have keys, but they do. I think they just figured it out all on their own.

I spoke to her last week. I hadn't actually had a real conversation with her in years. It felt good. I missed her. A lot. She was my sounding board and I lost her. My own damn fault. I hope she's grown up enough to realize how much she means to me. Not in the way we were at the end, but they way were before the beginning.

Geez, I think to much.

12:17 am - reasons
I hate you for giving up.
I hate you for not calling.
I hate you for not giving a damn.
I hate you for not having the backbone to talk to me.

I hate that I care about you.
I hate that I ache when I hear/read/see/experience something that bares any resemblance to what you mean to me.
I hate that I ask about you all the time.
I hate that you didn't even check on me when I was hurt.

Most of all I hate the fact that you have no reason to hate me at all.

You're callow, and I hope I'm not on my way down that path.

current mood: blank

9:46 am - I'd like to take a minute
and explain why it is that I do the things I do.

Wait a minute!...This is a trick, right?
You expect me to pour out an emotional explanation to satisfy your curiosity.
Who, me?
Yea, you.

::stares blankly at the mirror::

I have got to learn to play nice in my head.

So the last several days have been interesting. Full of filming, games, BBQ's, concerts & emotional yet humorous conversations at Denny's in the wee hours of the morning.

We've had an abundance of concerts in the last couple of weeks, mostly Goodbar's, but a couple were ours. Good...Bad...Lots of people, not so many people...thirsty people...

I like throwing them, I just don't sit well when we don't get the draw we anticipate, but that's to be expected. We've decided to take a long needed break from promoting, at least the rest of the summer until we start up again with the city in Sept.

Sunday's promo turned music video shoot was extremely fun. I forget how much I love filming, the good thing about it, is I feel the same rush even if we filmed the day before. Thus, I know I've chosen a great profession. Even if we're still a bit rough around the edges, you gotta see the look on our faces when we're filming. Its priceless. :)

Finally got the film grant application sent off yesterday for Ram's horror flick next summer. I hope we get it. I know after much deliberation over the budget, we don't actually need it, but it would rock for someone who didn't know us personally to have faith enough to pour cash into one of our visions. Makes me all warm & gooey inside, like a fresh baked brownie.

Mmm...brownies... ::smack:: STOP THAT. But I'm hungry... =P

Enough already.

8:53 am - things looking big...
on the horizon...that is.

I'm resorted to singing at the top of my lungs in my empty office.
::crickets::
THE HILLS ARE ALIVE....WITH THE SOUND OF MUSIC....AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Which turns into screaming...hehe, I like making noise. It makes me feel alive and helps me glaze over the fact that I'm alone.

Just remember...

2:16 pm - Maybe you'll get what you want this time around...
I have a reason. My own reasons. For doing things a certain way. For jumping the gun when I know I shouldn't. For making decisions on behalf of others. Its an affliction. At least my mind likes to say it is. My heart wants it to be it construed as a fair judgment call, needed at the time and dealt with in a timely manner.

Selfish. Matter of fact.

I attempt to close this gap/hole/chasm/rip in my head, only to be distracted by the one currently tearing at my heart. I should learn to multi-task better. It would come in handy when dealing with everyday situations that I tend to ignore. More to the point, I should learn not to compartmentalize situations so much. Emotion is needed to be normal. Right?

I only make jokes to distract myself...From the truth. A flashlight in need of the batteries.
Let my light shine.

I am not fragile, so why the fuck am I protecting myself so much?! I'm not made of glass & I will live on even without them. Their memories will remain fresh, never to rot or grow cold. Teachings etched in stone will guide me.

I lost 2 out of the 3 protectors. Its unfair. Its just. Its life.
Doesn't mean I have to like it or agree with it. I just need to adjust. Fuck that.

The trick is to keep breathing.
