ok, so after today it will have been my first week without drugs. and when i say without drugs, i dont really mean alcohol. i dont think its that bad to have a beer every once and a while and even to get drunk every once and a while. the point is that im not spending my money on drugs and im not getting addicted to anything anymore. it sucks though because one of my friends did coke last night and im really really jelouse. but whatever

...........

mci fucked up my paycheck. i dont get a paycheck until the 27th, but its going to be about $1000. so ill be able to pay off my insurance, cell phone, and bank overdrafts with one check. so yea, itll be straight. band practice tomorow. sweet action. brandon has the flu. not so sweet action.

getting there

2006-01-11T14:27:36Z

so yea, havent gotten fucked up yet. havent really even taken aderol or anything yet. so thats cool. im at work....training=boring as shit back in high school. but training also = 500 dollar check on fri. so its about worth it. anyway, other than that not too much. band practice on saturday. im gonna be in the dova so if anyone that im friends w/ and havent talked to in a while wants to hang out, just leave me a comment or call me (7265191). yep. so my breaks over. im out.

starting over

2006-01-09T15:24:08Z

ok...so....

five days is my limit i guess. saturday i came home and janis bought us like 3 6 packs of beer....

so i got drunk(surprise suprise)

and then morgan came over with weed

and i was drunk

so what did i do?

anyway, im on day two once agian.

and im at mci

and tired as shit.

i am not goinmg to let this get me down though and im still gonna try agian.

i just know its going to be hard for people to take me seriously when i cant even last a week.

but oh well. im going to try

im out.

five days is almost a week

2006-01-07T19:08:19Z

so im at band practice and its pretty fucking awesome because its the first time ive actually gotten to play drums in like 2 or 3 weeks. now we just need a bassist and a singer. so yea....anyone interested?

2006-01-06T18:02:14Z

I PASSED MY TYPING TEST!!!!

on the last try i got 61 words a minute with 1 error. so i barely passed, but words cannot describe the relief I feel. anyway, just thought I'd make a post about it.

fourth day and counting

2006-01-06T15:35:55Z

So im about to take my typing test for mci and i feel pretty damn confident about it. I NEED TO GET AN ADEROL PERSCRIPTION. Lately, like this week ive been taking one of angels for mci and its helped me so much. I dont really think this breaks my whole not doing drugs thing because im not taking it to get fucked up AND i have another prescription to a different add med. So yea, keep your fingers crossed for me. Im out.

three days down

2006-01-05T20:47:49Z

so i have my typing test tomorow and if i dont pass it i dont get the job.
but im doing good, so im not worried.
i stayed up till 4:30 this morning talking to angel. it was fun, but then i woke up at 10:30 and im tired as fuck. oh well.
anyway, oc comes on tonight and im excited...
should i feel gay for this?

not too much else. . .

band practice tomorow.

if theres any musicians out there who are over 18 and arent in highschool and want to do something with music, please find me.

im out.

one day of sobriety....

2006-01-04T21:26:39Z

ok

so angel, danny, and i have all decided to quit doing drugs.
i know what your thinking.
and fuck off to all of you.

jay-kay slash el oh el

no really though,i just realized how many times i could have gotten myself out of debt if i wouldnt have wasted all my money on drugs. so its pretty cool.

and it helpls to have friends help you with it. and wow i just realized how much this post sounds like some cheesy anti-drug add. but whatever. i dont really have a problem with drugs or people who do them. most of my friends do drugs.

anyway..

im at my new job now. MCI BITCH
im almost at 60 words a minute and im about to start banking.
so yea, lifes pretty fucking amazing right now.

but anyway, my breaks over, so im out.

.bye.

goodbyiowa @ 2005-08-14T01:59:00

2005-08-14T06:59:56Z

its my last night in this house and i cant sleep. why?

wow

2005-08-06T08:43:43Z

ok. so i havent posted in a while. this is because theres nothing worth posting anymore. but now there is. which is why im posting. . .

i just got back from warped tour. it was sweet. i got to see all my favorite bands. bla bla bla. i could list them, just go on the site and see who all played. new cds that are GREAT: emery, BOYS NIGHT OUT, thrice(october). anyway, thats not the important part. . .

so ikem, wally, nathan, josh, eric, and i are all driving to atlanta when, about 45 minutes outside of atlanta our van dies. this happens about 3 in the morning(day of warped tour). i guess the transmission dies. needless to say were sweating as to weather were gonna make warped tour or not. we somehow manage to make it to the nearest gas station. a chrystler dealer is conveniently right across the street. this is great because the van is a chrystler. the dealer doesnt open until 7 30 am. this isnt convenient. so now were stuck at this gas station until 7 in the morning. we dont really have money to waste on a hotel, so we start aimlessly wandering around CALHOON, Georgia. We randomly end up at a kroger about a mile down the street where we meet some checkout girl and talk to her while nathan and i dye my hair in the bathroom. at around 5 we walk back to the gas station and sneak into a hotel pool and swim until around 7. after that we wait outside the dealership. once we get our car in there they tell us its gonna be a day or so to fix our transmission that has apparently died(RIP, we will miss you sheila). so we rent a yukon. this is a royal pain in the ass because josh has a wheelchair that weighs about 2450345634564 pounds and we have to lift the thing into the back. after thats done were on our way to warped tour with 0 hours of sleep under our belts. really. none of us have slept in the last 36-48 hours. but were stoked to see all of our favourite bands. warped tour itself was amazing. it was hot, i am sunburnt, but it was worth it. i got to meet a lot of cool bands. like i said before, bla bla bla. anyway, we didnt bring any food into warped tour and everything there costs $4+. so we dont eat. now none of us havent eaten for the last 12 hours and we havent slept in 2 days. all of this plus the dealership telling us that the rental car has to be in tthe next day by 11 am. we leave warped tour and stop at the nearest mc donalds. i eat 2 double cheeseburgers, a 6 piece chicken nugget meal, and a mcflurry in the time it took the others to order. we drive back to the hotel and i sleep. i sleep all day. i think i woke up at like 5 or 6. i felt like lauren holterman(hahaha). we walk over to the dealership across the street and they tell us that our van will be another day. this is shit. literally. shit. so eric and i begin to wander around calhooon. we run across this tatoo parlor and both of us get our lips pierced and he gets an industrial. now this is a hwole nother story in itself. the tatoo parlor is about 5 miles from the hotel and after all of this, i can officially say that I HAVE HITCHIKED. yes. we hitchehiked. it was sweet. we got picked up by some rich guy in a lexus. he gave us a ride to the tatoo shop and then we walked back to the hotel. we spent the next while aimlessly doing random shit around the hotel(swimming, trashing the room, etc.). anyway, the next day(friday) the van is finally scheduled to be done. were all rested up and fed well. eric, nathan, and i go to kroger. some girls in the store kept staring at us, and me, realizing that i had a backstage pass from warped tour on my keychain, decided to mess with them. we convinced them that we were in a band that had just finished playing warped tour. yes, im a bastard. but i got to feel like a rockstar for like 5 minutes while all the little 15 year old girls stood and pointed at us. it was hilarious. after writing it i have a feeling that you had to have been there. anyway, we finally get the car up and running. we are ready to GET THE HELL BACK TO MEMPHIS. we drive off the lot, go to a gas station, open the sliding door on the van, and you will never guess what happens next....

THE FUCKING DOOR TO THE VAN FALLS OFF!

How does this happen. I dont have a clue. I DO know that i am about 3 hours late for work and im pretty pissed. so we take it back to the dealership and they fix it in about 30 minutes. the drive back was pretty uneventfull, but i got back at around 1 am today. i got to visit garrett and rebecca, which was sweet. now for some un godly reason im not tired in the least. but yea, thats about it. i think i probably left a lot out, but the point is it was a pretty fucking crazy weekend. now, if your stilll reading this, you have to comment. if this post isnt comment worthy i dont know what is. love you guys. peace

and i bought rebecca some sweet boys night out undies
