be back in warmer days
The boom time it is over
A ghost town is all that's left here
The gold rush it is over
And depression days draw near
Tonight after sundown
I'm going to pack my case
I leave without a sound
Disappear without a trace
I'm going southbound
Drifting like a drover
Chasing my career
From the ships docked in the harbour
New horizons will appear
Tumbling with the tumbleweed
Down the open road
Taking only what I need
Before my head explodes
I'm going southbound
Hey, you're not getting any younger
The wild west has already been won
Northern lights are growing colder
And the old eastern ways are gone
So tonight after sundown
You must go from this place
Without a tear, without a frown
Disappear without a trace

last night was one of those nights when you remember why you do what you do and why your friends are who they are. i still smell like the bonfire and my fingers hurt almost too much to type from playing guitar but i feel so refreshed from all of it.

its hard finding new vague ways to talk about what's vexing you without letting up enough information to totally spill the beans. every day a new battle.
week three, still haven't smoked.

LOSER LIFE |

so it's been over a week and still smoke free. it's been a bitch but really, i figured it was going to be like pulling my fingernails out. Shawn bought me a pizza for my first week and it was consumed almost instantly between me, her, Brendan and Billy. it was fun. i have next week to look forward to as well when Brendan buys me one.
i've been working at Last Vestige, which i'm not sure if i've mentioned previously. it was half there and half Exxon for a little while then i went full time about 2 months ago i think. it's alright as far as jobs go, light years better than Exxon, but doesn't pay too well. just glad i don't have any more 5AM shifts.
i need to get another tattoo soon. getting them is so relaxing, it's like meditation. i need something to give myself a brain enema that doesn't have to do with chemical shock treatment or alcohol abuse. not to say the other things aren't fun but they're far more brief and far less healthy.
if you guys get the chance, download/buy/steal the LP "I Have Ghosts and I Have Ghosts" by Loser Life. i cant get enough of it.
still wishing i was a motivated writer, still wishing i was a motivated musician, still wishing blah blah blah blah blah. it'll get better. yea, you know. i already have more energy than i did prior to quitting. and now i have a reason to stay busy.
bumped into Chris Lee (or Chris Pissed as some might remember) today for the first time in years. it was cool, we used to hang out a lot when Scag Rotter was still the Sleaze, and when he quit i never really saw him because everyone overreacted to it and he didn't really come around to shows.
Scag Rotter is now dead by the way and it's a 95% chance that there will never be a last show.
sometime i'll have something interesting to put in here.

I’m not good at living life
I’m not good I have no pride
But feeling doesn’t make you weak
When passion is what makes you breathe
The storm it’s over
At least for today
The storm is over
I’m still afraid
Evict these thoughts from this hollow wooden head
Post no bills, this heart has been condemned
It drains my red, so kill me dead
To scream and no one hears
Just more noise for blown out ears
So let the record spin as the needle skips again
yea basically. i'm rarely an articulate individual, take what you will from it. assumptions will be made anyway. it's in our nature.
just sometime someone show me a sword that isn't double edged.

i've been having nights where i want nothing else but to see some teeth on the floor.
they've been happening less frequently. this is a good thing. i'd rather not inherit my dad's temper.
too much drinking recently but hey, that's what warmer weather is about when it first comes around. i'm getting bored with it so that means it will start leading to more productive roads of activity. i've been writing a lot more. i'm up to scene 11 in my script and i have some songs for my solo project almost completely finished. i just don't know much about anything and i hope i never do. mystery adds a lot towards motivation and often times i find that once something is accomplished i'm a lot less pleased with it than initially expected. why is it that when you take action it feels much more subdued than what you thought it would be? is progress really so dull?
the colin betterment plan will hopefully finally achieve peak momentum this year.

yea i got a cold. it's a bitch.
however that's just another sign that this winter will probably come to an early end. i usually get a gnarly cold and my winter weight starts disappearing. my gut has shrank to the point where it's more comfortable wearing snug fitting clothing again and that never fails.
i keep burping and it tastes like chinese food. i haven't had chinese food in a couple days.
absurdity.
i can't wait for warmer weather. finally get some fun and activity. there's a chance that i might finally have weekends off too so i can not be, you know, a shut in. hopefully that works out cause it's been far too long. i miss all the cool stuff to do.
speaking of cool stuff to do, i want to go to the alpine slides this year once it's warmer. i went once when i was like 9 and it ruled. i forgot where they were, somewhere north, but we gotta assemble a posse because it was cool as hell. that and there's a ghost town somewhere in the Catskills that will be infiltrated during the summer.
i hope 2008 is the year of the adventure, because 2007 was kinda high and dry as far as adventure.
i'm going to make the effort and you should all as well and tell everyone you know to make an effort and maybe the whole world will turn into a sweet 90's action movie.

it always seems like when you're ready for something, that's when fate decides to bite you in the ass. every day is a new learning experience though. whatever lesson i've learned this time i'm not sure but rest assured it'll probably dawn on me eventually.
in retrospect it wasn't a mistake nor was it beneficial. hindsight is supposed to be 20/20, right?
Every pleasures got an edge of pain, pay for your ticket and don't complain. - Bob Dylan
Let it Burn records this month on the 21st. so very pumped, we have a lot of material that's gonna melt peoples heads.
also, keep an eye out for German power metal legends Buttsoldier (or salado do butt as they're known in Portugal) to hopefully make their first US appearance since '87 at the release show.
as for the Colin front, i'm just up to the same shit. see previous entries.
i need something, i just don't know what. maybe something to keep my head out of the clouds, maybe just some hot wings. sometimes i feel torn between too many things. often times i have a difficult time making decisions because i can see the pros and cons of both sides and most of the time they're relatively equal. i hear that's a good, and bad, side of being a libra. honestly, it's just confusing as shit.

i've been stuck in a rut for a while.
but i think i know how to pull myself out now.
maybe? kinda sorta?
daily routine is such a bore.
got me a new guitar. it's beautiful, i've wanted one of these since i was probably 12 or 13.
i was at Guitar Center in Albany and i saw this and started playing it and fell in love. i'm broke as shit and apparently the sales guy could tell because he told me about the payment plan.
so fuck yea sign me up. bam, next day i walked out of GC with it and a sweet coffin case.
i'm playing in the Band Olympics this year. check it out, it's gonna rule. theres a flyer for it here.
Let it Burn show the 16th at King's Tavern. have no idea any of the details but we're playing and it should be fun. first time in a long time.
besides that Scag Rotter is still on unofficial hiatus, Let it Burn still has our collective nose to the grindstone for some writing and all that, and there's a new project in the works featuring Brendan, Chris D, and myself. not sure if i mentioned that already or not.
me and Brendan went to Needlewurks on friday and got our noses pierced. we are two stylin' dudes now.
so, uh, i don't know. i didn't really know what to write in here and i still don't.
still living though. keepin' it real.
still need a new job. any ideas?

so sick of it. it's hard to tell what is and what isn't sometimes.
this routine is overplayed, get a new one and get fucking real.
Syracuse was tonight, that was fun. cheers to all those folks for the good time.
work too early tomorrow. monday, i apply to Parts Unlimited and try for a change of pace.
new car. the Green Meanie is dead, long live Green Meanie part II!

there's purpose somewhere, right?
wherever it is, it's an evasive bastard.
work, not as much music playing, not as many adventures.
it's getting towards the end of summer, usually people get slowed down around now so that's reasonable.
and an interesting summer it has been!
it's cold in august which doesn't really make any sense. it's too late or too early but i cant sleep.
is it unreasonable that i was worried about my hoodie getting sexed all over?
after the fact i feel kinda stupid seeing as it wasn't in the apartment used for unnamed peoples activities (actually it was about as in my car as something can get without being in the engine block)
but you know. i didn't want sex all over my hoodie dammit.
i'm gonna vomit all over New Line pictures. they're doing an americanized version of Battle Royale apparently, which was due to be released this year but was delayed due to that whole v-tech thing (whoops) hoping to not appear insensitive to mourners. hopefully they incorporate more of the book because i recently borrowed it and the movie could've been much better (surprise!)
i'm about to relax so hard.

something doesn't feel quite right, but its hard to put a finger on what it is.
i'm going to have to make some changes, but i dont really know what needs to be done different.
but besides that things have been going fairly smoothly on some fronts, not quite so smooth on others.
but hey thats living right? keeps you on your toes! hoo-rah!
been working and making music. scag rotter's recording tuesday, let it burn is at a strong stage of evolution, and i started the solo thing (no the OTHER solo thing) that i always wanted to.
it's been pretty slow thus far for such nice weather but then again most people are bogged down with finals and whatever for school. after all that, an adventure is in order.
working at a gas station enables you to learn a lot about a town. almost everyone needs gas or cigarettes at some point. those people end up at the gas stations. ballston spa is surprisingly interesting, some of these people seem like they walked right out of a movie. i dont even mind dealing with the assholes, they usually bring some fun into things.
i dont know what made me think to write in this thing, and now that i did i'm re-reading it and not finding any "moral of the story" kind of thing. so in response to that:
haha suckers. you got scammed!

spent so much time with my head up my ass i havent had a real update in a while haha.
then again nothing much has changed since my previous real update (whenever that might have been, probably never)
brendan, mikey, and i have our discharge tribute band now. Disbute. yea, we're pretty clever alright. we're planning on playing a tribute with the Ramoones from NYC (met the dude at a wedding of all places), and Horror Business from schenectady. we're gonna try to get one more but not really sure who yet.
as for other music news, Scag Rotter is STILL not prepared for recording. but worry not it'll happen, and when it does it'll sound a shit ton better than the other garbage we have on our page now.
Let it Burn still rocking out. we're gonna record an official demo soon.
besides that the past week and a half or so nothing much has been happening. i got mad sick which means the winter season is starting and i'm not happy about it. i mean dont get me wrong, its cool sitting outside during the first big snowfall and its dead quiet and everythings so peaceful, but after that i'm fucking done.
i'm a bitch in any weather though haha.
i have a new year's resolution this year for the first time ever. and i'm gonna try to take it seriously (yea right).
this whole smoking and coughing up a lung every few minutes thing isnt gonna fly forever.
so since Tom's passing, a new lady moved up into the apartment over the garage, and apparently she's a noise freak. this isnt gonna fly. if she has a problem with any jamming over here i guess i'm just going to have to eat her.
i have yet to meet her, but from what Ronnie says she's a real class act.
beware, SKATE ZOMBIES ON LSD is still in production.
PS: darick fucking brady will be up for a visit soon. hell yea.
