I hate how I continuously look at them both.

And I fucking hate it.

But for some reason, whenever I see one, I see the other shortly after.

And thats my fault.

Because I make myself do it.

Who knows why.

I can't stand it.

I actually don't think I can handle it.

Its sad. but true.
Itsdonewith.itsthrough.

Im not sure what im supposed to do right now.

I've made mistakes..Everybody does.

Im just not sure which of my actions I want to consider mistakes and which I don't.

My heart has been beating really weird lately and my breathing hasn't been normal..It's kind of worrying me, but at the same time, I don't really care.

Whatever happens, happens. Im not going to stop it anymore.

The mall goth/scenester party has to be pushed back. It cannot be this weekend anymore due to a few things..it can't be the weekend after that because i've got plans for one day and this is a three day thing..can't happen..So, not this weekend..Not the next weekend..The next-next-next weekend. It's worth it..

Im sick of people who bitch about thing's too much.

I don't care about the following issues:

Needing a boyfriend/girlfriend
Shows you're going to/went to
Anything having to do with a bands lifestyle
Purses
Dieting
Negative thoughts about what im doing
Glasses (prescription/sunglasses/prescription sunglasses
What a paticular person in my life did years ago/doesn't matter anymore

Thats all i can think of right now, but i'll think of more and edit this, probably. Im going to bed.

What a stupid weekend.

I was so stoked that Kyle was coming into town and I could finally actually hang out with him. So friday me and Andrew went over to Ian's and it was all fun and everything, then turned shitty. Im sure anyone who needed to hear what happened already heard, so no details..around 5 I drove home, thinking that Andrew had somehow gotten home..Later found out he was sleeping on the couch downstairs. Although, at some point, everyone decided to have an underwear dance party. I saw Ian Judds penis more then once. Then I stole all there pants and took them outside in the garage...Then left..

Yesterday I slept until 4:30-ish..Then I went back to bed around midnight or so..then woke up today at like..5:30 AM and fixed my computer..

This weekend was really stupid..

Yeah dudez, No tonsil removal for Ryan. I went to a different doctor yesterday and he said dat bitch be crazy 'n shit. Actually he just said since it was my first time with tonsilitis, it'd be dumb. So im excited about that.

Last night I went to the stupidest show ever. Then I went to see Saw 2. It was gooood.

Today we record vocals. Two days before the show. Then we try to make an insert and fold those and get shit ready for the show. Damnit.

EDIT: THE VOCALS ARE DONE AND THE CD IS FINISHED! THEY WILL BE FOR SALE AT THE HALLOWEEN SHOW (at Rock Coffee) FOR $5 (7 songs)

I also made a banner for The Eastern Express..Yes, it sounds lame, but it's pretty much funny. So it's okay.

Good news/Bad news.

Good news:
The eastern express is pretty much done. Vocals today and tomorrow or saturday and we're done. Sounds pretty damn good so far.

Bad news:
They drew blood today. Im tired. They want to take out my tonsils next week.

Good news Part 2:
IM NOT LETTING THEM! LAWLZ!

2005-10-26T11:20:34Z

The eastern express is finally recording. We've got the drum tracks done and one of the guitars tracks done. We're doing the other guitar and bass tomorrow. Then vocals probably on thursday or friday. This means the cd will be available soon. This means you should buy it so that we can afford to make buttons and tshirts and other cool stuff to sell to you.

GUYSGUYS!

I can't open my mouth all the way..Im scared that the muscles in my mouth have changed positions or something because it hurts like hell to try opening my mouth any further then it's letting me.

This ruins my life.

So it better not stay this way, or I can't sing anymore :) And of course, that would make me way stoked.

Im making mashed potatoes and gravy and corn and soy nuggets and they're going to be fucking wonderful.

Good day to you.

Best day of my life..

2005-10-21T16:20:35Z

Kay, guys..this is gonna be a SLIGHTLY long entry..So here goes nothing..

We start with Wednesday..I had been sick for quite a while, as everyone know's since i've been talking about my throat hurting on here and whatnot..So anyways, around 5 or so, I looked at my tonsils/throat finally..not looking normal, I showed my mom..She immediately says "Holy shit, get ready..We're going to the doctor"

So I listened, and we went..It took forever to get in and there was this little girl (Who was mentally challenged) who was trying to talk to me, and i felt horrible because I couldn't say anything back..So when she said "hi" I waved and smiled and my mom explained that I could talk..She seemed kinda sad/like she felt bad or something..

Then I finally got back and they immediately swabbed MAH THROAT..That sucked. I wanted to gag and projectile vomit all over everything. but I didn't..I sat in there for a while, and they presribed me to a couple things..Then gave me a shot in my RIGHT butt cheek..(keep that in mind..the right cheek..) and I almost passed out/vomitted because I had absolutely no food in my stomach and my body almost just couldn't take it.

So at this point, im on two pills (hydrocodone and some antibiotics) plus an antibiotic shot..Sucky..So, I left and they basically said "Okay, if you're not doing any better tomorrow, come back and we'll look at you..

So I wake up the next day and im laying around for just a little bit watching tv and im noticing im not feel good..and im having a tough time breathing..So I told my mom "we need to go..Now..I can't breath.." So while she got ready, I looked in the mirror and my tonsils were TOUCHING..My airway was CLOSED..it was intense..So we went to the hospital and it took me FOREVER to walk in because I was having such a hard time catching my breath..I almost just fell a couple times..So I got taken back pretty quickly and they got me into the stupid gown thing and laid me down, had me drink this shit that would make the swelling go down so that I could breath and give them a little time to get ready..Then I drank this other shit to numb my throat/tonsils..Then they grabbed this big ass needle, and injected it into three spots to put in some more nuumbing stuff..After they finished, I had to keep sitting up and spitting out a ton of blood..(sorry, this is in depth..even IM cringing typing it..It's pretty intense shit..) Finally, they were ready and they put a different needle into a few spots to take out a bunch of pus from the roof of my mouth and from my tonsils..It was horrible..I had a towel over my face to cover my eyes from the light..and im glad I couldn't see what they were pulling out, but they said it was pretty gross (my mom, especially..Im sure the doctors see it all the time.) I basically laid there for about another hour trying to gain some strength back..So, finally left..Got home and slept forever..

Currently: Im feeling better. Physically and mentally because now im not worried that im just not gonna wake up one day cuz my tonsils closed up again..I sleep a lot, though..It's pretty awesome because no one even bitches at me to get a job or anything..Im playing this shit off, bro's..Im also on 5 different prescriptions, so impretty fucked up..In other words, don't expect to talk to me much..I got up at like..7 this morning..It's not 9:20 and I feel like i've been awake forever and ever..I also just took my medications..and i finally got to eat, which is a good thing because this shit has taken a toll on my weight..I had to have lost at least 15-20 pounds..Crazy shit, mangs..Okay, I think that's enough..Im going to bed.

Im probably dying.

My throat hurts. Bad..

Im surprisingly happy lately..For the past couple weeks..

Im kinda confused, but..still okay.

My car got fixed today.

I get my new tabs tomorrow

Which means I'll be able to drive.

Unfortunately.

Between driving to the auto place

and the licensing place MULTIPLE TIMES...

I have very little gas left...Lame..

Oh well.

2005-10-15T14:26:41Z

Nothing is the same...

And it's better off this way..

I've looked at thing's lately..My life in general..My overall attitude..Everything is changing for the better and it's amazing. Im not saying thing's were really all that BAD before, in fact..I've had a pretty sweet life, in all honesty..But im happier now more then ever..Thing's bring me down occasionally but..It lasts no time at all. Im happy about this.

I was with a bunch of friends tonight..and I had fun. This morning I walked from Nick/Eric/Jerimiah/Shanna's house to my house..Which is a very good distance..For those who know Spokane..I walked from 5 mile to nearly SCC...Far enough for any human to think "Damn im kinda tired.." But it made me feel good, too.

I think my cold is going away..Yesterday morning I woke up and my throat hurt..Very..very badly..To the point where I couldn't talk..And when I tried, very little noise came out. Dumb..But im okay. Im coughing a LITTLE bit..But not bad..

Yes..Thing's are good.

Three more days and everything is fucked..

My wrist is 100% asleep..Or at least it feels like it.

I got another screen name

Yourhandsup

which will be mostly used so annoying people that message me from my music page don't message my main screen name anymore. It'll be cool.

Longest entry i've EVER written.

2005-10-11T08:34:42Z

For those of you who do not know...Besides the man himself, I am the closest thing to Hulk Hogan as you can get..

So, tonight really sucked alot..I woke up feeling like shit because im getting sick..Luckily, Kayla was here and she made me feel better. She went with me to get soup, even though she wasn't hungry and most likely didn't WANNA go. So, I was happy about that..Then we ended up at the mall, value village (Met Marcus and Becky) and went BACK to the mall..We later decided to go to Marcus' apartment and hang out there...So we leave..On the way home, I get pulled over...not knowing WHY, I sit there and wait for the cop..She tells me that I didn't slow down at the uncontrolled intersection..In my head im thinking "Uhh..yes I did...Okay, that can't be THAT bad of a ticket, anyways.." Since I obviously wouldn't be CONVINCING anyone that I DID slow down..Now is where the REAL fun begins..She goes on to tell me that my tabs are expired and I immediately protest.."Uhh..They're december tabs.." And she says "Well, your registration says July..So do our records.."..uhh..What the fuck..? THEN! She says "Also, I wrote you up for Improper display of your license plate" This one I REALLY got pissed by..I didn't say much about it because I didn't think about it..but when I got home, I looked at it, and it's perfectly fucking fine..So, anyways, I took the ticket, kind of apologized if I was being rude because I WAS..Sort of on purpose, but then I didn't know for sure if I could get fucked for something like that, so I just said sorry anyways..So yeah, I drove the rest of the way home and told my mom what had happened..We looked at my license and the tabs and everything..It all looked fine...There was NO sticket underneath the december one, so I clearly didn't just put one OVER a july one..and my plates were on fine...*In come Hogan* I got pissed and said "This isn't on fucking wrong" and ripped off the metal plate that surrounds my license plate and threw it, almost hitting my moms car with it...So I went inside and so did my mom..We started talking about the tabs and we looked at everything, ,and it all said I needed my tabs renewed IN JULY...Of course, ,everything gets sent to my mom, so I had NO IDEA..So I got pissed and started blaming her for my sweet new $498 ticket..(It would have been $101 if the tabs would have been right) and we got in a huge fight..So I started packing a bag so that i could leave..So SHE comes down and says sorry and she's gonna pay $400 of the ticket, but if I leave, im not welcome back in the house..So I had to stay whether I liked it or not..Oh, and I was planning on walking..So the car had nothing to do with it..Overall..What a sweeeeeet ass day..

In other new's..My WEEKEND was good..Friday I went to the Fall of troy (fuckkkk youuuuu)Fear before the march of flames, Bear Vs. Shark, and Since by man show..It was really fun..Since by man was AMAZING..Then after that everyone went to John and Joels house..That was..alright..Saturday Me and Kayla went to Jordan Hoffs house..REALLY fun..Then sunday..WAYYYY good..I woke up at like..noon..Mike and I started recording songs for the Eastern Express demo/ep/cd, which..The same songs will be on the Big deal/eastern express split (Assuming that it happens as planned) Anyways, after that, Kayla, Mike, Travis, Matt, and myself started driving to Moscow to see MewithoutYou and The Blood Brothers...and long story short..The blood brothers were AMAZING...Im not as into the new MWY stuff, but the old stuff they played was really good..I decided to drive back that night and...Uhmm..I was tired, but I wanted to be back at home..We didn't have a place to stay anyways..So we got home..and I went to bed, woke up annnnd..thats where the madness begins..
