i haven't wrote in awhile.
i miss when i used to write all the time.
but then you try to realize what are you writing for?
yourself or the desire to be cared about.
the desire for someone to give a fuck.
maybe it's a little bit of both.

"i want you to notice, when i'm not around..."

i'm so ready for a change.
this hard work is exhausting, and that makes me a halfass for saying.

currently listening to a playlist i made to think about someone i lost.
hence the creep reference above.

i have to work harder.
and in the end it will pay off.

that is if i don't die in a tragic death first...

2009-09-13T09:00:00.001-07:00

it's been awhile.
i miss writing.
i really need to get internet at my house.

i'll work on updating this more. with photos as well.

Common Threads: Stories from the Quilt

2009-06-27T09:22:00.000-07:00

Today will be my 4th year of attending Pride. Third in Houston and one crazy summer of Arkansas Pride.

This morning I watched a documentary called "Common Threads: Stories of the Quilt"

It was completely amazing. It was the 1989 winner of the best documentary oscar. The story tells of the rise of the Aids disease in the early 1980's and the struggles of getting the Reagan administration and the country to understand what the disease is. the United States was one of the last developed countries to start educating people on the disease; and that wasn't until 1987 when already over 50k people have died (more than that I can't remember the exact number at the moment). The stories told of those the quilt memorializes are those who contracted the disease through unprotected sex, needles, or blood transfusions.

The movie had me in tears and many scenes hit close to home. One woman, who ended up learning that she had become positive after her husbands passing, talked about the last time she saw her husband. He was in the hospital, not wanting to die in the family home, and the wife wasn't feel well. The nurse took her temperature and it was 105 degrees. The nurse said it would be best if she just stood at the door instead of getting any closer to her husband. She said her husband never turned to look at her, and he just sat there in the fetal position. That was the last time she got to see her husband. She never got to tell him goodbye.

I remember being in the third grade, going to a Houston for the Rodeo, and as a "before the rodeo trip" we went to the hospital to see my uncle Donnie who was in the hospital with "pneumonia". I walked into the hospital and from the door i can see him in the hospital bed hooked up to all these machines. The nurse told me that I could not go into the room, because i was too little and she thought i would unplug the machines (I was 8...not 4). So i didn't get to go into the hospital room. I didn't get to tell my Uncle Donnie (who i adored) good-bye or that I loved him. It wouldn't be till a couple of years later that i would learn that he past away of AIDS.

The mother of a 12 year old boy that had passed away started talking about how horrible it was that there were so many squares representing the horribly high number of people that had passed away from this disease. She said that each of these squares was made by someone that passed away and was loved.

I have so many emotions from this movie. One of those emotions is anger. I am so mad that my uncle doesn't have a quilt square. I'm mad that I was so young and that I only knew one side of my uncle that I couldn't even make a quilt square for him. I'm mad that none of his friends, partners, or lovers made one for him. I'm mad because in the documentary one man talks about meeting a guy in the doctor's office and they guy says that he no longer has friends because the disease took them all. I'm heartbroken at the thought of everyone that knew my Uncle Donnie in Houston could have died from this disease and I have no way of learning about him outside of the man that i remember. The man that would come and visit, play game after game of old maid with me, the man that brought me a porche, white convertible for my barbie.

I want so much to know this man and give him the respect that he deserves and that everyone deserves that has had to deal with this disease, and I just don't know how i'm going to do that....

2009-05-04T23:13:00.000-07:00

i really want it.
i want the impossible.
i will not settle.

can't wait for this...

I am on my way.
Ready to go.
Tomorrow we start.
hopefully it will be the last time I have to start.

2009-03-28T22:21:00.000-07:00

this makes my heart happy.

That's as funny as real love...

2009-03-25T19:59:00.000-07:00

That echo chorus lied to me with its
"Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on"

It finally dawned on me tonight, best to go down without a fight...

their crash, their kiss

2009-03-22T21:20:00.000-07:00

All your kind they're coming clean
They shut their eyes, their mess, their scenes
All your kind, their spool and lance
their crash, their kiss, they harmonize
All your kind they're, all your kind they
All your kind they come and clean
their sleep through keys
they kill their needs
it's kill...

I sometimes think what some of my last thoughts are before i pass one day. Who knows if that will be in 10 years or a long live like 80-something your old margaret ashmore had.

the older we get, the wiser we get (or alteast some should). I think I'm getting a better grasp of what's it all about, but then something happens and I'm not really. I don't get it. I don't fully know. I want to know all these things and be told all the answers, but I'm starting to see more and more that they may not happen. and that's ok.

a dear friend recently gave me this quote, "Life is Silly." IT ABSOLUTELY MOST FUCKING IS SILLY! And working day to day to try to figure it out is even sillier.

So for now, i just have to keep living my life. try not to make stupid mistakes, try not to be so careless. try not to take it all to fucking serious. instead, enjoy the life i live, the city around me, the people in my life.

2009-02-28T15:26:00.000-08:00

where does the good go...

2009-02-27T06:38:00.000-08:00

So much has been happening in the last week. A lot has changed for my friends and thus in fact has had an impact on myself.

with that topic, it's funny how life changes all of the sudden. I feel like at this age and point in my life, I am just trying to "figure out myself"; figure out what i want out of life, who i want to spend my life with, what i want to be doing with my life, and how i'm supposed to do it.

tuesday, I got thrown for a loop; a spoke in the wheel, no path to lead; a bridge not yet built; whatever you want to call it.

at first, i thought FUCK. this is not what i wanted, this wasn't what i was planning for... but then i kind of got to thinking about life. And I realized that change is good (though we don't like it, we have to accept it because it's not going anywhere). That life is like knowledge. One can never have too much of it, one can never not be learning. Why would one want to be ignorant enough to never want to learn anything new and valuable? With that said, who would want to not experience new life adventures that came their way, just because they weren't planned? If we planned everything, I think life would be a lot more boring then it already can be at times.

I guess I'm just looking forward to figuring out life some more, discovering live, finding happiness. I don't have any better of an idea of what that will be, but maybe i'm not supposed. Maybe i'm just supposed to LIVE and everything else will just fall into place...

2009-02-24T08:47:00.000-08:00

Im pushing an elephant up the stairs
Im tossing up punchlines that were never there
Over my shoulder a piano falls
Crashing to the ground

Im breaking through
Im bending spoons
Im keeping flowers in full bloom
Im looking for answers from the great beyond

I want the hummingbirds, the dancing bears
Sweetest dreams of you
Look into the stars
Look into the moon

Im looking for answers from the great, answers from the great beyond

Happy Thursday

Blame us cause we are, who we...

2009-02-16T20:28:00.000-08:00

I feel like i've been thinking more about life then I have been in awhile. granted, i'm always thinking, but sometimes i think i let my mind get the best of me. I let songs, movies, pictures, sights, and other things take me back to somewhere i haven't been in awhile.

Today, while i was in bed trying to get over this mysterious illness, i opened up my fortune cookie from the asian restaurant down the street. it said, "now is the time to make new friends." I was a little taken back by it. I'm one of those people that saves their fortunes, that thinks that no matter what they say, to an extent they are real.

I've just been reliving the last 6 years in my head the last week. 6 years is a long amount of time to run through your head in a short amount of time, but i've had a variety of different triggers (occurances?) happen.

I don't think I would go back to any of those years, not that i didn't enjoy (most of them) at the time. In my heart, I know there is more. I keep telling myself that, but I can't fully say i believe in it. But there is more.

To an extent, that fortune may be right. I may not need to make all new friends leaving behind those i know, but i need to make new experiences and continue in this life that I'm leading. I need to fight to not become some stagnant being in a mundayne life that is routine and lacks variety.

I hope that I can keep moving my life in a way that inspires me, that brings me an immense amount of happiness, and i can contribute more to this world that surrounds me.

that is one thing that has remained the same these last 6+ years.... all i've ever wanted is to just be happy.

blame us cause we are who we are,
hate us cause you'll never get that far
and who'd suppose you would go
i'd already learned enough to know that....

I've always been a fan of when music & film merge into one.

this is one of my most favorite movie scenes in any wes anderson film and in movies in general.

intense? yes. morbid? but the images and song both just give this haunting feeling and creation. It's reality, life isn't that great all the time. And I think this scene reminds us that.

to enjoy the scene sans blood, sans intensity; please enjoy this archived footage and complete song:

2009-02-01T10:11:00.000-08:00

Yesterday, I was making the 45 minute drive back to houston from seeing my family.

Blue blockers on, my favorite shirt, windows down, and just blaring broken social scenes "shampoo suidice"

It was magical. I love life the most at times like this.

only in dreams...you'll see what i mean...

2009-01-29T19:15:00.000-08:00

I'm in love with the world through the eyes of someone else.

Well, maybe not love, but through their eyes I am starting to see.

What and how I'm seeing the world I haven't quite made up my mind yet.

But I'm liking this feeling. I like caring once again about something. I've been dead and non-responsive so long that this feels alive.

It's not that realistic much at all. I know. No hopes are being far fetched or whatever it is being called, but to feel something. That I will take.

So for now, I lay my head to sleep. To dream of my thoughts and my feelings, and to wish and imagine what tomorrow has in store for me once more...

2009-01-26T18:24:00.000-08:00

I'm half the man I used to be.

bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum.... WHOA OHHH

I'm looking quite forward to 2009.
a lot of things are in store.

i know this because i'm going to make them happen, and you never know what the world has in store for you....but i'm looking forward to it and I'm ready for it....

Shitload Of Math Due Monday

2008-12-16T14:09:00.001-08:00

12.5.08
The Onion

********************************************************************

OLD BRIDGE, NJ—In what many are calling a complete bullshit move, Riverside High School algebra teacher Mrs. Trella, 34, assigned her sixth-period class an assload of math homework due Monday.

The homework, which included a number of impossible to solve word problems, several stupid equations, and a bunch of other pointless crap, was assigned at the end of class on Friday. According to sources, Trella handed out the homework at approximately 2:43 p.m., even though it was a completely unfair thing to do and would totally screw over everyone's weekend.

"She assigned it right before the bell rang," said ninth-grader Kenny Riley, who claimed that the last thing he needed was to spend all day Sunday looking at some retarded math book. "I was packing up my stuff to go when Mrs. Trella comes out of nowhere and gives us, like, four huge pages of work to take home."

Added Riley, "Fuuuuuuccck."

In addition to its poor timing, students expressed outrage Friday over the length of the math assignment, which some estimated would take fucking forever to complete, and was even more tedious than that lame history project from Mr. Shepard's global studies class.

Students also cited the need to show one's work, circle final answers to get full credit, and use the quadratic formula—whatever that is—as leading indicators of how hard the homework sucked.

"We did so much work in class already," said Michelle Siringano, who still plans to go to the mall with several friends on Saturday. "Mrs. Trella just wants us to be as miserable as she is."

According to a recent survey, Trella pulls this kind of stupid bullshit all the time. In November, the 34-year-old announced a surprise math test that wasn't even about stuff that made any sense, while earlier this year, Trella reportedly lost her mind and assigned homework on the very first day of school.

Sources still have not confirmed what the fuck that was about.

Some students have warned that if classmates did not complete last week's assignment on polynomials there was no way in hell they were going to understand Friday's work. Making matters worse, students said, was their math textbook, which reportedly doesn't even have any of the freaking answers in the back.

So far, various attempts have been made to get out of doing the required work. Many students, such as Daniel Gill, have considered leaving their heavy-ass bags in their lockers and coming in early on Monday to copy the answers from that douche Brian Raffel.

Still others planned to come up with some kind of genius excuse before Monday, such as forgetting their assignment on the bus, getting food poisoning, or maybe having their grandmother pass away over the week- end and being way too sad to think about doing math.

Despite being a total nut-job who hates her life and probably never gets laid, Trella claimed that assigning the weekend work wasn't something she wanted to do.

"We were falling a little behind," the conniving bitch said. "I just wanted them to catch up so they wouldn't have any extra work to do over the break."

In the words of E.E. Cummings...

It's been awhile.

Things should be great. But when things look like they are moving up, something always seems to change.

I wrecked my car this past week. I can't begin to describe how terrifying of an ordeal it was. Its a sickening feeling. You would have thought I killed someone or had gotten a dwi. Everyone keeps telling me that everything will be ok. But I can't seem to believe them.

I guess I am just scared. But I guess I probably should be...

day o' thanks

2008-11-27T21:30:00.001-08:00

Another thanksgiving. My 23rd to be exact.

It is easy for us as human's to relish in what has gone wrong in our lives. But today we are supposed to be thankful.

I am thankful for a great many of things. I am thankful for my family and my friends but of course. I'm thankful for having a job and a nice apartment in this shiteous economy we have right now. I'm thankful for everything I've experienced in my life. I'm thankful for every day that I've lived these last 23.5 years.

It is hard to remeber just how lucky we are sometimes when life isn't working out the way we thought. But if you really step back and look, you will see...

Tomorrow we go back to being friends...

2008-11-18T03:46:00.000-08:00

oh, oh, oh but a weekend it has been. What a last 3 (four?) days it's been.

The weekend was full of many smiles, many laughs, many good times; as always you have to take the good with the bad, but it's worth it. In the end, it all works itself out. That's what being an adult is all about. Learning to juggle, learning to live. It's not such a bad thing to be selfish every once in awhile, for everyone involved and everyone to do what they want to do. This is the only life you have, so you might as well enjoy it. And I'm glad that you do...and I'm glad that I do too.

Sunday night, I had a pretty once in a life time experience.... I got to see Esther herself perform....MADONNA.

Words really cannot describe the whole experience; the lights, the visuals, Madge herself... it was all incredible, fabulous, shocking, wonderful... every adjective you could possibly thing of at one point or another during her close to 2 hour performance.

amazing.

one of those times that gives you hope in the future and shows you that beauty can be found in the least likely of places...

2008-10-29T12:05:00.001-07:00

my heart just broke a little.
granted it's been broken before.
It's a shade between red and black.
But i think i just got a little crack that's deeper then some of the cracks from my past.

This one may not heal as quick as the other ones...if it even ever heals at all...

love and death are always on my mind....

2008-10-28T17:33:00.000-07:00

Oh the stills. Just saw them before we are scientists and kings of leon take the stage.

No matter how many times certain friends say the stills suck live, I will argue on just how great of an album "logic will break your hearts" is. Animals and insects, lola stars in stripes, still in love, love and death... They are such fucking great songs and they never get old.

So for now I sit and wait for some we are scientists and some kings of leons.

Don't stop the rock...

What a splendid, much needed evening...

one with friends, one with dancing, one with smiles, laughter, love, and a feeling that i have not seen or felt in such a long time.

I am a very lucky girl with the friends in my life, the people i work with, and the places i go.

The Aqua V-Neck Shirt

2008-10-18T07:54:00.000-07:00

I stayed in last night. My cold/allergies got the best of me yesterday, I've got the grand opening tonight, and I just wasn't in any mood to go out.

I woke up early and decided that I had to do my laundry, since i hadn't done it since before acl (gross, i know). So after reading for a bit, i just kind of looked up to catch the timer on the dryer. And then, i got side tracked staring at the laundry turn over and over again. I have this bright aqua color v-neck. The v-neck would sometimes come into view, but it would always get trampled by something else, sweat pants, shirts, jeans...always something else. Sometimes the shirt would not come into view for a long time, because other clothes just knocked it out of the way.

It made me think about how people/friends are a lot like laundry. Well, a lot like clothes. Or i guess that you are like articles of clothing. My aqua v-neck: it's new, it only comes out for certain things, i like how it fits. My soccer sweats only come out when i'm around the house, after a long day of work, or when it comes to the end of laundry. They've been around for 8 years. I know they are always at home when i have had a long day of work.

So it made me think. what type of clothing am i? how do people and my friends see me? am i the new v-neck, the old soccer sweats, the ragged tshirt you only wear while doing laundry, the favorite red-hoodie, or the gold, glittery shoes that might be the coolest things you have ever seen?

I think each person is something different to everyone. And that's not a bad thing. You can't be everyone favorite red-hoodie or gold glittery shoes. And you can't just have red hoodies and gold shoes. Nor can you wear the same thing everyday. I do know that much about life...

the cold air will rush your hard, heart away....

2008-10-17T21:58:00.000-07:00

i'm 23 (and a half) years old. I live in my own apt. I pay my own bills. And daily I try to draw lots of people to concerts all over this large city. All these things should make me an adult. I should know how to act like an adult. But i'm still learning. I'm trying to be an adult. but really want does an adult do at the tough times?

it's definitely the start of fall, winter is on the horizon, because the cooler weather always bring along some heartache and sadness. Tonight I was driving around the loop wondering what to do with myself. I didn't want to go to my empty apt. I had no one to go visit because they were either not at home, busy, or the other. I wanted to drive to see my aunt and just cry. to just tell her everything that i couldn't deal with or everything that hurt so bad.

And as i kept driving around the loop and further from my house, i realized i couldn't do it. I wanted to, i wanted her to just hug me and tell me that everything will be ok. That work won't always be so busy, stress won't always be so high, life won't always get you down...

My tough act can only go so far. I can only put up face for a certain amount of time. I'm not as thick skinned as I wish. I get upset, i get hurt. I've been fucked over. hard. and i have no desire for that to happen again. I'm not naive enough to think that people won't hurt/i won't be hurt in the future.

So as an adult, I have to find how to get thicker skin, face life head on, and just live the best life I can.

I don't think this life lesson is going to be so easy to figure out

Days that are over Will not continue to last If you try to construct the past

2008-10-14T21:46:00.000-07:00

Today, I've been playing all my Sondre Lerche albums. I've been a fan since high school, and I used to listen to them quite often (his norweigian english is such a great example of winter music).

While getting ready for bed, it's made me ponder about life (something i do quite often). I think back to all the times in college to when i would listen to sondre so much; where i was, who i was with, what was going on in my life at the time, how old i was, ect...

It made me think about how, I don't think I ever saw myself or imagined I would be where I was today. You may think, well, you aren't really anywhere. But I am. It makes me think of the quote "If you ever want to make God laugh, tell him your plans for the future..." People that have 5 to 10 year goals make me giggle.

I've always been pretty vague when it comes to "dreams;" I've always just had this overwhelming desire to just be utterly happy when i "grow up." It's not that i lived this horribly depressing childhood/adolescence (not that it didn't have it's fair share of heart aches). I guess I can see myself happy by doing a lot of things, and that is something that isn't easily able to be described to others.

This desire of happiness is the main reason i got involved in "the music business." As I got older and older, music was the only constant thing that i loved through out my later years in life. The great thing about music is that there are so many facets that you can get involved in. You don't have to be musically gifted.... you just have to find a job that's doing something "tolerable" or something you enjoy doing.

I used to believe that doing what "your passion was" would end to you at one point beginning to hate what you once loved. I guess it works out that my passion is happiness.... because then i cannot get burned out with music and concerts....

oh dear...i've gotten distracted. this is the pitfalls of working too hard. your brain doesn't think about other stuff (i.e. life and the events surrounding it)

So now i lay down to get ready to go to sleep again, to wake up and face the day. To brace myself to take on the tasks of work, the tasks of being "an adult"; But i'm looking and I'm still striving for that dream of being just utterly happy... and one day, I realize just what that is...

The Beat goes round and round...

it's been quite the last few months. I've been working so hard these past 3-4 months with getting ready for the opening of house of blues houston, and I can't believe it was actually all pulled off.

Last night was the first night. And ALMOST everything went off with out a glitch; (one of the big signs did say hose of blues (priceless).

I've been almost to the point of breaking a couple times this past month or 2. But I just tried to take a deep breath and take care of stuff. I met a lot of different people over the last few days from other house of blues, corporate, radio stations, yadda yadda. And it was an amazing feeling to have those people thank you for your work and what a great job they think you have been doing. I wasn't expecting that or some other possible news that i got.

I'm just really grateful. I'm still overwhelmed with everything that is going on around me, but I think I'm going to make it after all. I have people along side of me to help me get through it, and I have people that believe in the good work that I'm doing. Maybe that's all I need after all....

still cock stoppin....

2008-10-09T17:26:00.001-07:00

I just talked to my old roomie, ms. valerie bishop.

i love her dearly, and she makes me miss college and our crummy little apt...

but we both are representing the cock stop well....

Remind me to spend some good time with you...

2008-10-07T04:37:00.000-07:00

I feel the chaos around me
A thing I don't try to deny
I'd better learn to accept that
There are things in my life that I can't control

They say love ain't nothing but a sore
I don't even know what love is
Too many tears have had to fall
Don't you know I'm so tired of it all
I have known terror dizzy spells
Finding out the secrets words won't tell
Whatever it is it can't be named
There's a part of my world that' s fading away
You know I don't want to be clever
To be brilliant or superior
True like ice, true like fire
Now I know that a breeze can blow me away
Now I know there's much more dignity
In defeat than in the brightest victory
I'm losing my balance on the tight rope
Tell me please, tell me please, tell me please...

She stands anticipating...to understand you...

2008-10-02T06:52:00.000-07:00

It's officially the start of Fall, thus it's October. Been pretty busy lately post ike. House guests, destroyed city, work, and getting ready for the opening of HOB.

I just returned home from my 5th acl. It wasn't the best, it wasn't the worst, but I had some good times. If anything, I came back with a new clarity. I came back with things a little bit more figured out. Everyone that was with me has meaned something greatly to me in my life at one point or another. Some of my best friends were on this trip. I ran into other new friends and old friends along the way.

I realized or came to realize it more just how much I believe in things happening for a reason. And one day, it makes sense. People are the same way. They come in and out of your life, and sometimes right away you don't realize why they are here, but then it hits you. And you couldn't imagine them not being in your life at this point.

And for that, you are filled with great happiness. And if there is one thing that everyone in this world deserves, it's a little happiness and smiles....

off subject remark-----> don't go see the movie "Towelhead"; despite being written by Alan Ball, it was HORRIBLE.

not forgotten...

2008-09-18T11:38:00.000-07:00

one of the things i love/hate most about my mind is it's abliity to wonder. I can sometimes get on these tangents and have no idea how my mind even jumped that far. Sometimes it's quite frightening, but others, like the present, they are wonderful.

Case in point, my love and awkward obsession with James Iha. For those not aware, James Iha was a guitarist in The Smashing Pumpkins and A Perfect Circle. He currently still hates Billy Corgan and refuses to ever reunite with him, and he and another past member (D'arcy *insert sully swooning*) are suing corgan for royalities to sp ringtones. gotta love the 21st century....

But yeah...James Iha. Le sigh...

Don"t wanna...

2008-09-11T14:17:00.001-07:00

Ike,

You are proving to be a huge thorn in my side and a pain in my ass.

Thanks a-fucking-lot.

amy

Rock steady and sturdily on, you turnin' me no turnin' back the further we

(Go) go, go, go, go, go and on the count of three
(Go) go, go, go, go, go and on the count of three
(Go) go, go, go, go, go, go
And on the count of three everybody run back to your fantasy, now

2008-09-08T06:02:00.001-07:00

i just got an email in my work inbox that says, "Welcome to the Family, Amy."

and there you have it world...Monday morning.

2008-09-03T21:29:00.000-07:00

To say I am excited about this movie would be a huge understatement...

2008-09-01T18:21:00.000-07:00

And as the summers ending,
the cold air will rush your hard heart away.
You were so condescending,
as the alcohol drained the days.
And as the summers ending,
the cold air will rush your hard heart away.
You were so condescending.
And this is all that's left,
The empty bottles spent cigarettes so pack a change of clothes
'cause its time to move on.

2008-08-28T15:37:00.001-07:00

'cause this alone is all i have to give...

they say california
is a recipe for a black hole
i say I got my best shoes on....

I'm ready to go....
ready to go....
ready to go....
i'm ready to gooooooooo

You asked for nothing, why don't you share it...

2008-08-21T23:38:00.000-07:00

during the day, i get over come with so many thoughts and feelings about my life going on.
not necessarily about work stress or projects, but my feelings on how my life is constantly changing.

sometimes i have this overpowering feeling that it's all crashing down around me.
that pretty soon, my life will be in shambles, and i'll be alone and lost.

but by the end of the day, at around that time that i'm getting ready to lay down to sleep in preparation for tomorrow, i start to see things a little bit more clear.
i start to see that what i think was important isn't so important.
what earlier in the day made me sad or felt depressing, i realize is just frivolous.

sometimes things and people are just the same way.
frivolous.

i realize other's tactics of showing meaning in their life or no longer the same as mine.
i don't ever want to scale the importance of things or people in that way ever again.
and i won't.

growing up is hard to do.
it all comes a day at a time, a step at a time.
i'm not fearing it as much as I used to.
I'm starting to see the upsides to growing up prove much greater rewards then the past.

so as i lay my head down to sleep, i will drift off dreaming of what tomorrow has in store and my mind will wonder on what new things, new thoughts, and new feelings are to come....

"All of the time you wait, there's somebody out there"

2008-08-19T20:53:00.001-07:00

you keep saying the past is not dead....
stop and smell the smoke....

Selfless, Cold, and Composed....

2008-08-19T20:33:00.000-07:00

so many things i've wanted to write about.
so many interesting things have happened.

i wish i would have written them all down sooner.

today, i was at central market for lunch. i went to get away from everything going on around me. this guy was taking too long of a time in the soup line. i was getting really impatient, but i stayed quiet. i noticed an old man (old enough to be a grandfather, but looked more like willie nelson) waiting on the other side of the slow, slow business man. when he was done, i dove in to get my lid for my cup, i asked the older man if he would like a lid too. he was so taken back, he hesitated to speak. he told me why yes and thank you. while we were walking to check out, he handed me a napkin when he got one.

i was having a really bad day today. in fact, it never really got any better. i was in no mood to do anything nice for strangers, especially after having about 5 minutes wasted waiting for slowly mcsouperson. I don't know if I did it because I've always had these manners bestowed in me or if because i knew it was just something to do. to help someone (even if it was just a lid) when you could. then that older man doing something nice back to me because of it. slowly mcsouperson also got a lid from me, despite him making me miss some pages in my book.

i guess the point is, even though you don't want to do something nice or take the time to help others when you have so much other stuff going on in your life, sometimes it's just something you do. whether if you are trying to be righteous or not.

if we never did anything nice for other people, what kind of world would we be living in?

when we see it...we don't believe it

2008-08-06T23:38:00.000-07:00

i just worked "my" first show.
it was a long night.
they aren't ready for change.
but here i am.
i'm not going anywhere.

i like when happiness pops up in the least likely spots,
in the least likely of people.

I'm glad to have those reminders that it's going to be ok.
i'm going to be ok.
and that i have people with me through the good and the bad.

nothing says good night like those songs that you just want to scream at the fucking top of your lungs for everyone to hear.
those songs where you can tell someone why that one line is so significant.

and for now...i sleep. dreaming of tomorrow. what is to come and what it can be...

Nothing wrong, Nothing right...

2008-08-05T20:51:00.001-07:00

i don't do well with days off for non-vacation holidays.
i think too much. my mind wanders too much.

i get these thoughts. and i wonder if it is just me remembering
how i used to feel or is it how i still feel? i
i like to believe it is just me remembering....

i found my old journals today. re-reading the past, reliving the past is rough.

in college you can always find someone to hang out with when you just need to be around company.
too bad the real world isn't like that.

i won't be around forever, and i won't be waiting either.

Every step that you take
Could be your biggest mistake
It could bend or it could break
But that's the risk that you take...

Players only love you when their playing...

2008-07-27T16:05:00.000-07:00

its been a long but good week.

my job is busy, but it makes me happy. and that is always good.

had my last weekend at the lake for awhile, but it was just what i needed. i had two of my girls, some special guests, and lots of sleep and down time.

I'm ready to take on everything. or so i hope.

for the first time in about a year or more, i started painting. it feels so good. even if i don't know what the end prouduct is going to be, even though i know it won't turn out that great. the feeling of making something again, the feeling of creating something, the feeling of actually being able to describe a thought in my head... is wonderful.

really?????

2008-07-21T21:26:00.000-07:00

I do not like someone hacking into my facebook or playing a joke, and getting me kicked off facebook.

really?

fucking assholes.

2008-07-19T07:22:00.001-07:00

so i'm sitting in someone's bed (i don't know who because they have already gone to work) in hot springs, ak.

It is so weird to be back. I've been in hot springs at least once in the last two summers (three counting this one). Last year I lived here, but the year before that matt and I came to visit sara. last year, sara, andrew, and jessica came to visit me. and now, jessica, andrew, amber, and I are visiting marcus (and andrea, poodle, charlsey, and chris).

I'm still kind of in awe. I think it will hit me more when I'm at the park. I'm very excited to get to take everyone around the city and show them how i spent 4 months here last summer.

I'm hoping for a great 24 hours. I'm already wishing I didn't have to leave so soon.

We've got a face made for smiling, but we are weeping...

2008-07-17T06:15:00.000-07:00

i have no idea what i'm doing.
I have no idea what I want.

like that john mayer song goes...
"You can find me
If you ever want again
I'll be around the bend
I'll be around the bend
I'll be around

And if you never stop when you wave goodbye
You just might find if you give it time you will wave hello again
You just might wave hello again

And that's the way this wheel keeps working now
That's the way this wheel keeps working now

You can't love too much one part of it
You can't love too much one part of it

I believe that my life's gonna see
The love I give returned to me."

ash to ash, dust to dust

It's nice.
They make me happy.

2008-07-06T20:05:00.000-07:00

This song is one of my favorite willie songs. It atleast makes up for no "good" video of him singing "crazy"

2008-07-06T19:57:00.000-07:00

I'm crazy
crazy for feeling so lonely
I'm crazy
crazy for feeling so blue
I know
you'd love me as long as you wanted
then someday
leave me for somebody new

All I wanted to do was post a video of willie nelson singing "crazy". I saw him last night, and I forgot just how amazing he is and how lovely his music can make you feel. Please try to find a video of him singing it. Little known fact, though Patsy Cline sang the song, it was Willie who wrote it. <3

worry
why do I let myself worry
wondering
what in the world did I do
crazy
for thinking that my love could hold you
I'm crazy for crying
I'm crazy for trying
I'm crazy for loving you

I'm so glad I decided to go to the show.

Will the real Hunter S. Thompson please stand up...

2008-07-03T09:18:00.000-07:00

Last night i had the extreme pleasure of getting to go see the premiere of "Gonzo." The documentary was about the life and works of Dr. Hunter S. Thompson. It was one of the most amazing films I have ever seen. I was familiar with him and his works before I saw the film, but I had no idea just how much of an impact he and his works had on society. He was not a saint by any means, but what he was in search of giving everyone "The American Dream" and he spent his life and career searching for who can give Americans the type of world they were looking for. One free of war, propaganda, bigotry, and things that were just morally corrupt. He did it all while being himself. Doing things his way. That, I highly respect.

Here is the trailer. Check it out. Enjoy. And go see it.

*Thanks Tony Loya & Houston Chron for the tickets!!!*

coughed up my heart in the last stall...

2008-06-29T21:03:00.000-07:00

sometimes i say the wrong thing, make the wrong face. i feel like at times I make it difficult to be loved, to be liked, to be considered a friend. I don't mean to do it. things just get lost in translation, lost words, contexts, actions, faces, ect. guess it's that fear of being alone, left behind, forgotten.

it's fine.
i'm fine.
we are fine.

Today is the day....

2008-06-28T07:16:00.000-07:00

So excited for Today.

Heres to good company, good times, lots of beads :), and lots of dancing....

Happy Pride 2k8!

<3

in the end...

2008-06-22T14:21:00.000-07:00

Despite all the arguments and disagreements, love and family will always prevail in the end....

she will always be remembered as a one of a kind grandmother...

notice the man with the tv on his head.
"we are in love"

this same band once wrote "we hate your hate"

i hate your hate too.

love,

You better not kill the groove...

2008-06-16T06:33:00.000-07:00

So Thursday night, I found out I got my apartment I had been after for 2.5 weeks. Friday I moved in.

It's precious. It's me. And I love it. Slowly but surely, the decorating is beginning. I feel like that I made the right choice, so I'm looking forward to it all.

The first weekend as a city girl was pretty wonderful. Having friends stop by, driving only 1-2 miles to where I was going.

It is weird going to sleep here. Little lonely/feel very alone at some points if I'm home too long. But it's just me having to get used to living alone. And once I have everything unpacked, and set up, it will feel more like my own little home...

I'm looking forward to it very much..

2008-06-11T06:13:00.000-07:00

Yesterday was a little frazzled at work. Long meetings in the morning, and then just some tedious work to do in the afternoons. So on the way home from work, I decided to stop and get a nice bottle of wine to drink at my house with dinner. When I walked in the door, I was plesantly suprised to see that we were going to be having a large family dinner, and that my family had already busted out a bottle of wine before I got there. So we all just opened up bottles and were just catching up on the days activites.

It was one of the best evenings I had had with them since the 3.5 months that I have been in Houston. Amazing conversation with everyone, laughter, kind banter.

Today, I went to the astros game. I was lucky enough to be given suite tickets (schweeeeet tickets). good friends, beers, $1 hot dogs, and 33,000 neighbors joining together for good times was a lovely change of pace for the evening.

I have some pretty lovely friends and family...

We will always be the one...

2008-06-09T19:06:00.000-07:00

It's really hard sometimes to realize what I want in life. It is so hard for me to admit to myself things, be it good or bad. I had a bad night last night. I know that and I accept that. But today, I woke up, went to work, and didn't really think about what i was feeling last night too much, with the exception of a conversation online.

It's now getting close to bed, and I don't feel and haven't really felt the way i had last night at all today. I guess I know how to handle it, or at least know how not to handle it. I called a close friend before bed last night, and told her about how i felt. And she was so nice about everything. The moment was a little scary and she reminded me just how much I have changed the last 2 years. That meant a lot, and I'm glad to see the changes myself.

There is a quote in Juno that i adore. Juno asks her Dad about meeting someone and how will she know when she has find the one. I relate this quote to my waiting for real love and I also think that friendship should go by this same montra:

"Mac MacGuff: In my opinion, the best thing you can do is find a person who loves you
for exactly what you are. Good mood, bad mood, ugly, pretty, handsome, what have
you, the right person will still think the sun shines out your ass. That's the kind of
person that's worth sticking with."

I don't need my friends to think the sun shines out of my ass (*insert chuckle*), but it's nice to see when they are there for you for the good and the bad. I don't have too too much bad these days, but I hope they still love me just the same on my off days and that they know they are the ones that get me through the bad.

I'm not perfect, I'm not the best, but all I can say is that I try to be a good friend. I try to be as positive and happy as possible. I really do. And all I can do is try and give all the love and support that I can. And just hope for the same in return...

2008-06-08T19:26:00.000-07:00

This song is beauty and hate to me all rolled into one.

I have not hated the world like I do right now in almost 1.5 -2 years. I never thought that the feelings, the hurt, the anger, and everything with it would ever come back as strong as they were the first time. I did fear they would come back one day, but not anytime soon or with deja vu' happenings. And it's not just by one event, one person, one comment, but a combination of so many things in a short amount of time.

I just cried a little while ago. Just sobbing. I was driving, and driving while crying isn't a good idea. but i didn't want to stop. I didn't want to go anywhere, because i felt like i had nowhere to go. I still don't feel like I have anywhere to go.

I know right now that emotions are high, it's been an exhausting weekend and it's finally all catching up to me. I think...i mean i know I can handle everything better now. I'm older, wiser, and i know what not to do to fix it. knowing how to fix it is another story.

They say that you cannot let anyone make you feel inferior with out your consent.
I didn't give my consent, but why do i still feel so terrible?

I saw sparks...

2008-06-03T21:42:00.000-07:00

a favorite.

I'll always look out for you...

2008-06-03T21:13:00.000-07:00

I had every intention of coming home today, and writing a blog about how i heard this song on the radio this morning. I heard it and i just had this hell yeah feeling. This feeling where i wanted to be in a dark room (possibly a roller rink for fun, because that is what the real music video's lights make me think of). I just had this feeling of singing/lipsincing this and just busting it out. Because I just didn't care. I didn't care what they thought, be it stupid, ugly, crazy, whatever. I just had this feeling like let's do this shit, let's tear it up. But I'm not.

Because then the day went on. and it sucked. i lost my apartment i was going to make an offer on. another instance on why i hate parade shitters.

my life is not completely in shambles, and i don't really have too much to complain about. but i feel like it's all crashing down around me. this domino effect that has been taking place the last couple of weeks.

I've been in love this last month with an old song by bright eyes called, "land locked blues." the line goes:

"if you love something, give it away..."

i wish i was given away...

It could be so much better than this...

2008-06-01T15:23:00.000-07:00

I miss the get up kids. I just came across this song the other day at work.

i was walkin' with a ghost...

2008-05-30T19:20:00.000-07:00

So I am 23 now. I think this was the oddest birthday I have ever had. I guess this what happens when you get older. It was not a bad birthday, it was just different. I guess that my life is different now.

I am not in college anymore, and that to me is still very odd. I have not fully gotten used to the thought of how I won't be going back. Ever. But I don't think that is a bad thing. I'm so excited at the possibilities of what is to come. New adventures, new people, new friends, old friends in houston, and new secrets and things that bring a smile to my face...

Here is to next step.

2008-05-26T21:45:00.000-07:00

I've been listening to this album for about 3 or 4 years. And it is still one of my favorite albums. It's one of those that you can listen to having a good day or bad. Tonight, this song is one of the most beautiful songs that I could come across.

Yeah, you come to mind

my fake....

2008-05-22T17:49:00.000-07:00

And if I could be who you wanted
If I could be who you wanted
All the time, all the time.
Oh, oh.

every now and then I get like this....

2008-05-19T21:29:00.000-07:00

Pete Yorn- "all at once"
(try not to let the cunt yelling ruin the song for you.)

--------
all at once
i bring my silence
all at once
there is no more hiding
and all he wants
is to show us how it feels...

all liars in the backroom,
watch them all go down,
they can tell you what you want to hear,
but they will never stick around

I feel that my luck could change...

2008-05-18T19:53:00.000-07:00

It was an amazing show. I'm so glad that I got to share it with my friends. I got a little teary eyed during lucky, a huge personal favorite. Magical, mind-blowing, and visually spectacular....and beautiful. I guess that is the best way to describe it.

There's a pretty, young thing in front of you...and she's real pretty, and she's real into you...

so much has happened this week.
good.
bad.
horrible.
the worst.

But I guess I got through the cusp. above the cusp? I'm starting to see more, I've got my eyes open, glasses on, and I'm just trying to look on, look ahead. I just want to learn from my mistakes and work very hard not to repeat them.

Tomorrow, my friends come to town. Saturday, my friends come to town. And though they aren't necessarily coming to see me, I'm pretty excited to get to see them and my friends living in Houston now.

Saturday, Radiohead comes to town. Radiohead with 15 of my friends? I can't even fathom it.

I've been listening to this song all week. I love it. Kind of depressing lyrics, but it's hard not to dance and smile to it. I have a great memory with this song in my past. Now, it has a whole new meaning.

So I went up to college station on friday night. I had a prior engagement and went up to see some friends graduate and just to visit. short, but nice. It's nice to see old faces.

Spent the evening last night with the extended hansens. my little matty is all grown up.

Instead of going out last night, decided to call it a night early. Thank goodness I got home early.
I was sleeping and I work up to a storm. Just thought it was a regular, but then i heard these noises
turns out it was a tornado.

a little frightening. not going to lie. I thought it was just the tree next to my window. turns out it was the tree and a combination of baseball size hell. Felt a little like the sound of music, when the children were frightened by the weather. I tried to just hide under my covers, but the noise was horrible. luckily it did not last that long. no damage to my car.

but what a strange sight to see of piles or hail (ice) all over the yard in the middle of may.

you're screaming out the window at the stars, "please don't drive me home..."

if there is only one thing that i know i will have for the rest of my life, be it long or short, i know for certain what it is.

it is love.

That may sound ridiculous to you or someone else, but to me, it is the truth. I could never not love. No matter how stressful, crappy, or tiring life could be, there is something i love. I love my friends. Every part of them. I know most of them know that I'll be there for them in the end, there when they need someone, there as much as I could be.

I love trees. I love stars. I love their beauty with every ounce of my body. I would hug all the trees and stars in the world, in the universe, if i could. Just to tell them how grateful I am to them and everything they have given me. Sure they have given me shelter and light, but what they may not all realize is how much they have brought me closer to my friends, the people i care most about in my life. They brought us together through songs about them, to sitting underneath them to share stories, secrets, or laughter. To guiding us in the night time when we had no other light when walking down the streets when our parents were still sleeping, to those nights on cliffs, roofs, runways, driveways, open roads, city roads, anywhere where we got to admire their splendor.

I've had tears built up all afternoon in my eyes. I thought that they would come out about something else, but now they have left my eyes because I'm so happy thinking how lucky I have been in life. Lucky in my friends. Though I don't live in the same city as some of them right now, and some I may never live in the same city with every again, I am so lucky to have had those times. To spend time and moments and experiences that people that I loved and that at least for that moment, loved me too.

I will always love those memories.i will always love these memories. i will always love trees. i will always love stars. and i will always love my friends.

...I came here on a train, in search of something pretty, it's my heart i have to blame...

the second day was much better than the first.
it's crazy to think that this is my new life.
I work on the 11th floor of an office in the galleria area.
I have a cubicle, a work email, and my own extension.

work is already getting so crazy. it's a little frightening.
i think i'll be ok.
in the end, i'll be ok.

I start my new job in about an hour.

I'm scared shitless, and all I can think to myself is,

"How did I get here and what am i doing?"

so much has been happening, so many thoughts in my head....

I've had quite a few things that have been weighing heavy on my heart. I guess secrets will do that to you. I've been debating about what to do about a situation for awhile now, but this past week/weekend, I've really been thinking about it because i've had some down time and other factors.

I've been working all weekend from my house on my freelance gig stuff. And today at the house, my aunt and uncle were watching their grandkids, who are 2(3?) and 5. Callie is the younger one. We were driving them over to their new house after dinner so I could see my cousin and our painting skills we had been working on all weekend. I was listening to this wonderful song on the radio that i wish i knew what it was, but all i can remember is a line being repeated this is something around the extent of "I feel like I would know myself a little bit better..." and Callie was sitting in my lap (it was the backseat and we were only 8 blocks in the 'burbs). She and I were both just looking out the window as we were being driven there. We were both just watching the world go by.

I don't really want to just watch my life. I want to actually live it. I really need to determine what exactly I want in life. I think I tell myself often that I don't want certain things because of a fear of rejection. But I don't think I should have to settle because of that fear. There is no reason that I should not be deserving of things. Not all things, but some. I shouldn't cheat myself out of life or happiness because i'm scared.

I'm scared of so much though. Failure, being alone, sadness, being disliked, or passed aside. Those consequences scare the crap out of me. But what is a life worth living if you don't take risks and don't go after what your heart really wants?

I'm not saying I'm looking for "the next best thing" or always looking for something better. But where is the line of deserving better and having what you need?

i thought i knew what to do....but i don't.

The Kanye West Glow In The Dark Tour Recap

2008-05-03T15:48:00.000-07:00

performers: lupe fiasco, n.e.r.d., rihanna, and kanye

all 4 acts were amazing. ri-ri was unbelievable. she was probably one of the most beautiful people I have ever seen in my life. The kanye show was visually amazing. his acting was a little bit ridiculous at time. I'm not looking forward to the complaints from the screens going out....

well worth the money spent on tickets...

this may be bad luck, but fingers crossed it won't be! ba-dum-dum-chhhh
