Later

So last night after being pissed off reading about the RIAA taking a girl to court and suing her for over a million dollars, I took down my Solid Ground blog. I already had two of my album posts deleted by them so I was worried that maybe they were spying on my blog. I was suprised to see how many people I had visit, even as far as Alaska showing up on the map. Weird eh? Maybe there's some random person I don't know reading this post here. Anyway, I think I'm starting up a new blog to help lesser known artists that the RIAA isn't involved with. I think there's a website to search artists or albums that are protected under RIAA, so I'll be using that to figure it out.

Plans

I think I need to REALLY start saving my money. That means no Jazzmaster guitar (as much as I want it) No expensive lens or randomly spending money on stuff I don't need. When I do spend money I'll just make sure it's on cheap stuff I enjoy, like buying a few vinyl or used video games. I figure if I really try hard I can bank around $500 every two weeks, with the rest of my check used to pay bills and buy food. That means I'll be pretty set on money by summer. I'm a little afraid to move. I know I can do it but I'm worried about finding a job in Columbus or close. I know if anything, I don't want to work in another print shop or fast food. I need a job that I actually enjoy.

Records

I finally did it. I got a record player. Also, my internet is back after we had to upgrade to high speed just to keep it working. It's bullshit that we couldn't have just got working internet with the normal service. There's really nothing like a vinyl quality. I figured I loved music to much to just have it in meaningless data form. I don't really feel like I own anything that way. Currently I'm listening to some of my parents old Pink Floyd records. Good stuff!

Blah Blah Blah

Last night was pretty good, all in all. I was right about the scene highschoolers everywhere. It was kinda nice being tall enough to see over everyone, ha. Also, I was probably the only one there drinking a PBR tallboy. First concert in a long time that I wasn't alone. I had my friend I drove there with and one I met up with because he went with his sister. I guess he met a promoter there and the girl said she knew a drummer for us and would help get out music out. I think it might be more his thing than mine. I think he could be in a band. I just like colabing and doing solo stuff though. I have my own direction and ideas that I most of the time don't share with others. Forever a solo artist. ='] I also met a few cool people that weren't 15 (Oh shit!). I'm not as bad at talking as I think, probably, but I don't really try to get numbers or anything. Those moments remind me of a Jeffrey Lewis track. I think I'll play it when I'm on break.

Say Goodbye

So, this weekend was pretty good. I went to Columbus again, saw cool shit, etc etc etc. Now I'm more settled than ever to move there and get out of this place. It seemed like there were a lot of potential friendships and interesting people there.

Today I think another one of my friends died. Not literally, but in the sense that they aren't a friend anymore. The image of who they were withered in my head as the paradox of friendship hit. Am I just friends with half alive people? It's probably best that I keep to myself until I move.

Tomorrow I shall be going to a NeverShoutNever concert. No, I don't listen to NeverShoutNever, NeverListenNever nor do I care to. I am still going though, with my friend in mind. She got ditched. I am the replacement! Yay! I will still like it simply because I like live music, but I hate the idea of being crowded by stupid 15 year old scene girls.

UPDATE

A less dismal update for me. Lately my life has been not worth updating, as nothing has really happened in the past week, other than maybe playing Kinect and getting less sleep than usual. Anyway, last night was the second day of the Kent Folk Festival. Lots of folk artists playing at The Kent Stage. Last night I went to see Frontier Ruckus open up for Jessica Mayfield and some other guy that I don't quite remember, who also did a great job. Frontier Ruckus was by far my favorite though. Matthew Milia really knows how to write powerful lyrics that only Conor Oberst could top off. I really hope they go far. This was my first concert sitting down. It wasn't bad though because it's not like the music was something you jump around or mosh to. I guess this Saturday there will be a bunch of folk acts playing all around Kent at 8. Too bad I won't be able to make it because I'll be seeing Tim and Eric in Columbus. I typed all this while driving. Score! I wish my internet would start working better...Okay, I'm at work now.

Drug Me Up

Sometimes I wish I could come to work on drugs. Seriously... it would chill me out.. and not even a lot of drugs.. just enough to chill me out. Today I was informed that because I have so much work that I have to work Saturday. FUCKING HIRE A SECOND SHIFT PART TIME PRESS OP. It's too much for one person to do. I shouldn't HAVE to run two machines at once. And shouldn't I be making at least a few dollars more to do this? I mean, after all, I'm saving this company a lot of money by doing this. They won't find another person to run two machines at once all the time, that's for sure. I can't tell the boss though, or then I sound like a greedy bastard for asking for more, when really I should be making around 15 right now. At least let me listen to music. It always seems to calm me down.. that's why I drive off for 30 minutes even if I don't really need to buy anything. So, my plan to save the company = I come back in later tonight and work till around 12 or 1. That way I don't waste time working Saturday. Maybe I'll just off myself soon! I'm off. I might make another post with some poetry or something.. maybe another ramble.. who knows.

New Look

I got bored of the blue. Now it looks even more depressing and dirty. Just how I intended.

Expect The Obvious

You'll probably end up being right.

Collective Dreamwish of Upperclass Elegance

I haven't really been able to update this much due to slow internet. I really need to call of a service guy so they can pretend to fix it for the 100th time.

Anyway, I went to Columbus this weekend to see Jonsi and David. Turns out Jonsi sold out though and David didn't want to pay the black man extra for tickets (I would have). I guess that's the downfall of involving other people in things that I can do independently.. Oh, that sounded kinda douchey. I also went into about 6 tattoo shops looking for this mysterious septum ring that no one had. I ended up going to Evolved, which is supposed to be the best tattoo shop in Columbus. They were really professional and had cases upon cases of jewelry, but my tiny custom ring ended up costing me $28, compared to the $5 I would have paid at the other shops for a normal ring. I also found a $50 painting in one of the tattoo shops that looked like an anorexic angel with down syndrome. For some reason I'm really tempted to buy it next time I come up. The girl said no one has bought it and it's been up for months. It's like one of those things that's so horrible that it becomes funny.

• I got "My Wiener" at a hot dog shop.
• The guy said it was the strangest wiener he's seen working there.
• It had too many hot peppers.

TODAY: It was just an average day, filled with me fucking things up, as usual. I came home and played my Jackson for awhile. Even though it's dubbed as my "metal guitar" because of it's heavy pickups for some reason I like the telecaster better. Mostly because the pickups are too sensitive that they often make clicking sounds from the strings occasionally touching them.


THE END

With The Power Of The Slowest Internet!

Boring False Literature

Post-note literature is always screaming in my head. I would love to read something other than, "Run 5,000 sheets. Due date 11/17/10". My mind is suffering severely. I feel as if I'm turning into an idiot from lack of stimulation on my brain. Nothing really tests it anymore. I keep having friends wanting to share information with me that might actually be interesting, that is if I wasn't so drained. Just think, a life in which you have all the time in the world to learn whatever you want, expand vocabulary, maybe just take a nap and not have to worry about the time you lost. That would be perfection to me, because quite frankly I don't really want to come home and spend 7 hours of productive thinking. I did my production for the day. They come in tightly packed boxes. MY MIND REQUIRES NUTRIENTS! So to close this one up, it would have been nice to go to college for free, have my car paid off, a place to live that I enjoy and blahblahblah.

"How many of you will take a bullet for the person that you love?"- Anonymous facebook user

"The chance of you running into a situation like that are probably that of winning the loto. You will never really be able to prove it unless you shoot yourself somewhere to show you love them, and if it takes that to prove that you love someone they probably aren't worth a bullet."- Myself

Seriously, the cheesosity of stuff like this smells so bad. People who say things like "You are my world, I'd die for you, I'll NEVER love again". Come on, don't be stupid. Not only does this make you sound corny as fuck, but it's a lie to yourself. Not even my parents who have been married for years, not my grandparents, no one I know in a lasting relationship says this. It's like some desperate cry, "DON'T EVER LEAVE ME!!! EVER!!!". I'm actually glad I have this long (but not forever) single status and can just look back and see peoples relationships starting up and dying off.

Facebook is great for observation as a lot of people post their whole lives all over it. "THIS BITCH SAID BLAHBLAHBLAH AND MY BOYFRIEND BELIEVED HER AND FML". Come on everyone. I'm pretty unstable but I can still hold my own without being totally pathetic.

Enough ramble. End thought.

The last headache

This is the last headache I'm getting from screaming birds. I like them, but if I have to keep them in my room I'll never be able to record.. or even think.. (Ex. Look at the last post)

This song seemed to calm me down after being stressed all day. Peter Broderick is amazing.

Shitternet (Don't read)

Well, this is extremely frustrating. My internet is going DUN DUN DUN.. slower than fuck, as usual.

In other news, my Xbox now has that pretty little red ring of death (thank you Microsoft). It comes on no matter what I do, even with the nice little "blanket trick". My work buttfucked me hard again, more so our customer, so now I'm doing double the work I'm supposed to get paid for (running two machines at once instead of one). Will I get a raise anytime soon? NOPE! Benefits? NOPE! Anything other than slavery? NOPE! Today my machines were running like total shit, if no one was there I would have probably put a couple dents in them out of frustration, not for the machine, but for my life. "Look on the bright side, at least you have a job". I actually need the job. I have car payments and a lot of money to save up to get out of this shithole town...that is if I don't keep spending my money on stuff to create these little moments of solitude.

ONE GOOD THING: Playing acoustic guitar and improving lyrics helped calm me down a bit.

I'll post other shit later...when I'm feeling better.

I really need to stop pecking around.

Less

You know how valued you are when the guy who hasn't even been working a year makes dollars more than you...I must be the lowest paid. Score for not being worth as much. Jobs are depressing.
