Slint - Good Morning, Captain |
] |
Seeing as I have about 3 friends that are still active on livejournal, I think it's a great time to start writing in it again. I've been on a bit of a dry spell as far as writing,but happiness does that. We'll see if I go through with this.
To anyone still on here, I want to give my new contact information, in case I never get on here again.

I need to get rid of those things, but it's hard when you keep in contact with distant relatives and friends through them. The problem is I wasted too much time talking to people online, instead of having real conversations. I try to limit it to work now and I feel a lot better about that. Oh, also, I live in San Diego, CA now. We'll see how long. I'm looking into moving to northern California or Eugene/Portland area of Oregon.
I hope all is well. It certainly is here.

no age - ripped knees |

so, to anyone who doesn't know yet, tricia and i are back together. i couldn't be happier and i'm turning my life around in a lot of ways. going back to school, quitting smoking, cutting back on the partying, and just generally doing things that really make me happy. i've been neglecting them for far too long. anyways, i wrote this the other day:
i will, i’m going to We're wasting time
with talking about the time we wasted, when we could try to find why we wasted anything at all
or we could just lay for days
thnking about the ways we probably could have went half our lives
but then we'd be here again when we give up in the end and wonder why we didn't do this from the start
and the thought'll be there
we can't avoid it
it's like air
you can't quit it
unless you stop breathing.

Stars of the Lid - The Tired Sounds of the Stars of the Lid |
] |
Massive media; I'm feeling better every day til that familiar jingle: "It's not going to be okay." It's a crime what they're doing to our hearts. Tearing out pieces for display where no show needs go. And where none had existed: now conflicts of interest. If it doesn't get the chambers pumping, the mind's not concerned. Can we say that we've felt it? Sure, but can we say it's authentic? I'm not so certain. Force-fed how to feel, talk, experience and act. The knots are tied and the ties are bound to be manufactured not by love, but by what we're told is love. And what's to escape when you were going there to escape life? We can't say we haven't seen it coming. So be sure all your letters to the editor concern the lack of concern. Meanwhile, I'll stay out to sea, guided further off course by a sea of guitars. A wave of distortion can help part the oceans of truth. Deception can be comforting, just know you're not sure what you're feeling. These same things we know deep down might be from a playbook, and maybe torn from the pages of what it means to be alive, written by the corporations. 8:42 PM - 1 Comments - 1 Kudos - Ad

The Crayon Fields - Living So Well |
] |
I can't for the life of me remember what was going through my head in any of these past posts. It's been a few months since I've even checked livejournal, but I'm going to start putting up writing here. Rather than go back and post all my old shit, I'll just start with the latest. If you're interested, myspace.com/judochopjosh, there are a lot of writings in my blog there.
I hope everyone is well... I'm going to make an attempt to start talking to old friends again. I miss so many people, and feel like I've waited too long to reconcile.
something for now.
The forecast calls for clear skies,
and it's pouring as I head for the car.
I'm trying to vocalize my wants,
before the buried ones come out on top.
Could've grasped some sort of meaning deep within a call,
Now I'm not sure what I'm saying or who I'm talking to at all.
And though I feel some sort of purpose,
I lose it in the yard.
It seems I'll only get so far and the not know where we are.
Rather than pass on a hard goodbye,
I'll cover it up in soft hello's:
Claims it's not so hard,
Words better left dragged out.
If I could just reimagined my needs to dispell some of the desires.
The "would've been greats" are only slowing me down.
But more so now, I'd want to know where I'm off to in such a hurry.

Do Make Say Think - End of Music |
] |
It's been a minute since I've posted anything here.
Pretty much:
working at Whole Foods now so work doesn't make me miserable
and
broken up with Trish so girls don't make me miserable.
How am I?
It's hard to say most of the time.
Late,
Josh

Wow, I was looking back and I realized I didn't explain how things turned out with court. Basically, I have a year probation (which started a month or so back), RCI (Alcohol counseling which I finished last week) and the ARMs weekend (an inpatient rehab which I'll be attending in two weeks). All in all I got off pretty easy. There was the option of jailtime open and I could be blowing and dropping every day as opposed to being tested through RCI (Which I finished...)
I also am on mail-in reporting for probation which means I never have to set foot in that office again (until I complete my probation). I simply send in my reports once a month and that's that.
Anyways, that's the story if anyone was curious.

Islands - Swans (Life After Death) |
] |
I have been listening to some new music lately, per Scott's computer. Namely Islands, Javelins and the new Tim Hecker. All of them are pretty awesome. I know Elissa mentioned Javelins before, but I could never find any of their stuff, good call though.
If you have a spare minute, fill out this petition to stop the cutting of funds for PBS and NPR. Let's face it, you aren't going to get any real news from mainsteam media. Besides, what else are you going to do at Scott's apartment pre-cable at 1 in the morning?
That's right, watch PBS.
I know e-mail petitions are kind of weak, but your lazy ass isn't going to actually write a letter.
Save NPR and PBS petition

It sucks.
On a lighter note my birthday is March 18th.
