  • yup… still feel alone. wow, this is uncomfortable. i don’t know what i am supposed to do with myself. crazy. waiting all day and night for that text message, that phone call, that msn message, that post on the blog, to affirm to me that someone is thinking about me. wow.

    just took apart two of my computers and mixed the parts up and put them back together. then took them apart again and put them back in to their orignal forms.

    now i’m sitting on my bed thinking about what nick does when he is alone. uhm. might read a book? uhm. might watch a movie by myself? all i want is to cuddle with her. and i can almost make myself believe i would be doing it for the right reasons.

    bullocks.

  • what’s my drug of choice… well what have you got.

    so…. fuck.

    Ya know what? I have never actually experienced being alone.

    Not that I can remember anyway. Let’s just skip my teens and adolescent years, cause back then I had organized religion and i don’t want to talk about it. But I will say that it must have given me something, must have filled some void that was soon to be filled by… marijuana. I thought I had found my maker. I worshipped it. It completely changed the way I looked at the world, the people around me, and most importantly me. I felt alright. Then came a flury of psychadelics, alcohol, downers and uppers. I was never alone. I was totally accompanied by them at all times. There was not an activity I would pursue that did not involve me getting high or down on something. That sorta trend led it time to the new love of my life: meth.

    When I was in treatment, for said drug addictions, one of the first ‘activities’ I was told to do was write a love letter personifying my drug of choice. I was to write a love letter to meth telling her why I could no longer be with her and that I could never see her again. Of course, if you know the story I would see her again, a mere 8 months later, when I relapsed and spent another year and a bit in an on again off again sorta affair. Thrown in to this mix was Briony, a girl whom today I love dearly, but back then we shared two common interests: meth and trying to get off meth. Between the two of them our hands were full. It was several months of wanting to be with the girl and wanting to be with meth and the two never mixed. Eventually I quit them both. But without even a day in between I was on to a new girl, Breanna. I’m taking too long to make my point.

    After Breanna I was straight in to Lorea. After Lorea I was straight in to Tamar. All in all, looking back on it I have not actually had to be alone in my own skin since I was fucking in treatment, and even then there were enough crazy girls coming off drugs to keep me occupied.

    I don’t know what it is like to be alone. It freaks the fuck out of me. I always want someone nearby. Someone with me. Someone to call and someone to be in my bed at night. I want someone to laugh with, to be afraid of, to worry about, to have worry about me. I tech out on a girl and use them like I used drugs. I had an inkling that this is what was going on but I always wanted it to be different and in doing so deluded myself in to thinking I was in love or something. I am not by any means discounting all the emotions I felt for those women. I love all of them today, right now. What I am talking about is me and my fucked up way of dealing with women. I don’t know how I am supposed to just be alone. But I feel I won’t know until I do it, just like I didn’t know what was waiting for me on the other side until I got off drugs.

    It’s unhealthy. It makes me uncomfortable and it makes me sad. I hope that is enough for you to convince you that I am not running away, I am taking a step back to realize that I am fucked and I need to get the help I need to get. More importantly, that is help that I need to get for myself, and not help that you can provide for me.

    I am uninstalling messenger from my computer. I told Bre I would not flirt/talk/sleepwith/fuck any girls for a month. She didn’t propse it, I told her I would cause I am interested to know what will happen to me if i do. More over, I am going to be celebate for the next year. K, maybe that’s a long time. But, just for tomorrow, I am going to be celebate.

    fuck I hope this works. fuck i am lonely right now. fuck saying all this makes me feel so alone. it’s like giving up your security blanket. I jsut want to know how to be in a relationship and not be used and use others. I want to learn how to let go.

    I’m crying. my god, i am crying. how fucking pathetic.

    this weather sucks so bad oh my god it makes me want to die.

    and then i sit here alone, with my cock in my hand. the only thing that i know for sure will make me happy. sometimes masturbation just seems so fucking carnal and pathetic. i sometimes imagine dying while masturbating and that would be the freeze frame moment that would capture my existence: being totally fucking alone trying in vain to satisfy some unquenchable, unknowable desire and never quite making it. in many ways i feel like a failure. and this is not a fucking pity party. fuck you. your pity just excites my sickness. I like it when you care, secretly it’s what keeps me sick. getting a rise out of you. making you pay attention to poor pathetic me. i think i need to come to terms with things and i don’t know where to start. seems like no one has the answers. seems like everyone has their distractions in life to keep them from the ultimate truth. what that is? i dunno. your guess. that we are born alone, live alone deluding ourselves in to thinking we are not alone and then die alone? seems cliche but pretty fucking basic.

    bah. fuck it all.

  • now what

    I got some really harsh news yesterday.

    I still sort of don’t believe it.
    I still am wishing it will turn out to be not true.
    The implications of it are too much for me to even think about.
    I don’t know what to fucking do.
    The good old standard suicidal/drug-using thoughts accompany.
    I didn’t show up to work today.
    I read this kid’s book when i was younger. In one of the stories, this girl has to give a presentation in class. The story is just her internal monologue while she is standing in front of the others. I distinctly remember her saying she wishes she could just slip through the cracks in the floor, as she rubbed the cracks with the toe of her shoe.
    fuck i hate this blog business. it was a lot easier to be entirely honest and open when i was fucked up on drugs and couldn’t feel anything anyway.

  • squirrels

    Today was mostly a useless day. I got little accomplished. And I was distracted for most of it. distracted and ambivolent about sitting still and trying to memorize information. went for a couple long walks.

    i was looking at my stomach today and i think i am getting fatter. definitely fatter that i was a month ago. i’m chalking it up to it being winter and being an animal fattening itself for the oncoming cold season… however, IT’S NOT WINTER.

  • negative correlation

    here’s the other thing. if i was serious, if i was sure being a musician was what i wanted to do, i would move to LA and start a band there. that scares the shit out of me. what also scares the shit out of me is turning 30 and having not left the safe haven of vancouver because i was too chicken-shit to try things out. is it that fear? or is it lack of drive keeping me in Vancouver? Or is it that I am happy day-to-day doing what i am doing?

    don’t get me started thinking about the future. statistically, happiness and time spent thinking about the future are inversely proportional (negatively correlated).

  • bass and balls

    went to see rancid at the CCC tonight with T and abra. Tamar’s plans kind of fell through and I was stoked that she offered to take me! I had hella fun. I like watching musicians rock out, regardless of the genre. I am fascinated with their gear, their stage presence, their interactions etc. The more I listen to this thing called punk music the more i realize what i like and don’t like about certain bands. It’s really fun discovering new music.

    Herbalizer in the beginning of October at the Commodore. yay! Five Alarm Funk opening. yay!

    School is riveting. totally enjoying myself. Finding myself actually thinking about what I am learning and starting to be able to apply it to people and situations in real life. Having a head filled with knowledge certainly helps dispell some of the horrid thoughts.

    got my bass amp and cab last night from the space. grabbed my guitar amp too. thinking of selling it. trying to build the balls to get a band together. I’d be pretty stoked to play bass for Dustin’s hardcore band that i heard him talking about. too bad he fears me cause my penis is bigger than his. honestly.

    work is fun. good people i work with. there’s never enough money though. no matter how much you make it is never enough. learning how to save money and somewhat manage my finances. i did a rough estimation of how much my income will be now that i am in school and taking time off to study. i am sadly going to be earning a lot less than i was for the past year or so. oh well. if i become a psychologist i will maybe make more money. but while psychology is interesting and i would like the self-pride from accomplishing a degree, i do not currently see myself able to spend my days in that line of work. i am pretty tactile and i like solving problems. i like constructing things and finding ways to engineer things so they work better. I could really see myself being in to advertising which would fit nicely with a degree in psych. who the fuck knows. who the fuck cares.

  • t/walk like a champion

    so… comming up on two years of this blog. yay me. i feel proud of that. it’s nice to be able to look back at where i was at two years ago… go ahead, look! it’s revealing.

    had a lot of fun with some rope tonight. i thought it was gonna be tedious but it turned out to be very entertaining… that’s totally not the right word for this context, but what the hell.

    my life is so fucking busy it’s awesome. it’s awesome, if i look at it objectively. subjectively i am really coming to terms with a relatively uncomfortable level of stress and anxiety pretty much every day. it’s okay though. i seem to be managing. i have developed or am developing some methods of organization and planning in my daily life that allow me to take on a lot more than i ever thought possible. i build houses three days a week, usually monday, thursday and friday. then i study all day tuesday and wednesday. on my study days i try to not sleep in. i get up at a reasonable hour sometime around 9am, eat granola and yogurt or fruit if i have it and it’s not gone bad. drink some tea and delve in to the books. tuesday is critical thinking. wednesday is abnormal child psychology. saturday and sunday is psychotherapy. i usually need two days for that one cause there’s a lot of material to cover – three textbooks: psychotherapy manual, student workbook and casestudies in psychotherapy. then there’s always bulletin boards and online assignments that i need to cover.

    I have been trying to hit up some meetings this past week. dropped in on ‘happy destiny’ thursday night downtown. hitup my regular friday night ‘bigbook study’. dropped in on ‘young at heart’ saturday night. oh, and then took a friend to the beginner’s meeting saturday night. fuck that is a lot of meetings for one week.

    went to seattle yesterday. free show of Bedouin Soundclash and Flogging Molly at the University of Washington. fucking good times. I had a lot of fun. thought i lost my cell phone in the mosh pit but all was well when i found it in the lost and found. there are some honest people out there.

    i want my bass cab in my house. i want tubes for my amp. i want a band. i want to be touring in the spring. i want to buy a 24′ sailboat and sail to Hawaii.

    good night.
