I'm affraid that I alone am entirely useless

It's been a while since I've posted so here we go. I had a great discussion tonight with my good friends Bill (frowningofalifetime.blogspot.com) and Anthony (sinkintothepacific.blogspot.com). We tackled the issue of life and how much it sucks. It began when Bill and I were talking about my band Western Front and the potential we have to make a dent in the DIY, punk rock world.

You see my Dad gave me two options. Number 1 go to college (which he won't help pay for) or number 2 join the military. Neither one seems appealing to me. Bill made a morbid yet terrific point in comparison to me joining the military. "Just have your dad get one of his guns (he is conservative so he has a few) and take you out back and shoot you in the head." It makes sense I'm not gonna lie. I'll end up in Iraq with a bullet in my head or a few missing limbs. Going to college and forking out thousands upon thousand of dollars for a piece of paper seems silly to me as well. The only things I have any interest in studying is history or english. I could do very little with either except teach. That would require more school. WTF! Even having some sort of degree does not guarantee me some dream job. Besides at this rate our generation will have no Social Security and we'll be working well into our 70's and 80's.

I guess my only ambition is to play music with my friends and enjoy the short time I have to live. Sometime I think it is almost better to be born a starving Ethiopian child when all I have to worry about every day is getting food, something us fat Americans take for granted, myself included. Living in America is great but it's kinda a double edge sword. It puts this pressure on everyone to grow up and be rich and fat and happy, but in reality that probably won't happen. Make a lot of money so your kids can take it when you die! My mind set right now is I DON'T WANT KIDS! (There are plenty of children in this world who don't have guardians so I'd adopt before I used my own seed!) So why should I worry about making lots of money? I'll be fine playing music, working a mediocre job, living in a mediocre home and being with the people/person I love. (sorry that sounded cheesy)

I'll be driving around the Southwest for the next week. I leave in the morning so I'm going to bed. Goodnight!

House Warming Gets You Drunk

So this past Saturday night was my friends Bill, Crystal, and Antho's house warming party. I can say it was definitely some of the most fun I've had in a while. There was friends, drinks and awesome music. My band (www.myspace.com/westernfrontmusic) played along with Samsara (not sure of their URL, just look em' up) who are as cool as the other side of the pillow! They came all the way from Riverside along with Mr. Party Marty! There was no bullshit, it was awesome and at the same time it was a surprise cause there ended being a lot of random, young, high school, people. Let's see here are some random yet interesting happenings that I can remember: Danny got peed on (three times), Some girl had their period all over the side yard, I smoked pot, something I rarely do (see picture) , Manu actually hung out with us after we played, It was great! Oh and his girlfriend drank which is something I never thought I'd see plus she barfed...it was awesome! Nobody got any play that I know of...that's weird to me with there being that many people there. Maybe it's a good thing cause there was too much jailbait at one point haha alright I'm done for now!

Mudslides, Nudity, and Finals

So Last night was Girly Drink Night 3, as it has come to be known. And I have to say I believe it was the most successful one yet. It wasn't successful cause of the turnout but more the fact that everyone got really drunk. Anthony did an awesome job making the drinks again, these being mudslides as the poison. Well it started out with mudslides, but there was a lot of beer to with some Cosmos near the end of the evening. With a lot of drinks comes a lot of nudity apparently. Antho and Danny mounted some girls VW Bug. Anthony stuck it in the sunroof while Danny watched and jerked off from the looks of it. The funny thing is she would have never known if I didn't show her the picture. That's what she gets for making out with Bill's brother? I opted to keep my clothes on. I did, however, get trashed. Which I thought at the time was a mistake because I had a final this morning. Shows what I know, I actually feel real good about it. I knew what I was doing on all the problems, If I get anything less than a B I'll be surprised.

Crazy Week

Ok so as most of you that read this know (i.e my friends) my family life has been shaken this past week. Funny because it's not that charges and the whole arrest thing that has my family all stirred up, but it's a lot of the shit that has come to the surface since. The whole aftermath of the situation I guess you could say. I feel super bad for my bro. He says all his dreams of being in the buisness are crushed cause he can never get a job doing what he wants now. I've been trying to put myself in his shoes today, what would I do in his situation?
Well first off I would get really trashed but that goes without saying....I mean It's ok to a little irresponsible once in a while right?
Really though I can not imagine myself sitting around and feeling all sorry for myself (ready for same cliche-ness) life is short so fuck it. I keep most of my emotions and feeling to myself anyway so I'd probably look like the whole thing doesn't bother me.
My dad is being a dick about too. It feels like he's against my brother instead of trying to help him out. It figures though my dad's never really been a compassionate person.
There was some good stuff that happened this week however, My friends John and Danielle had their baby! I love you guys, sorry I've been a ghost lately.
