Through The Looking-Glass

I haven't blogged in quite a while. 

Shitty weekend, really. There's nothing to do. Friday was cool, as the game went well and I had John, Zach, Platt, and Daniel over. 

Saturday was dumb. Platt said we couldn't go to his grandmas like we were going to and I was pissed. Oh well. I went to Barnes and Noble and bought a book instead. Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass. I'm almost done with Alice. It's really good, I'm reading it in the mindset that it's an acid trip.

And also, I got in trouble for smoking marijuana and talking about it on this blog. So I guess I'm not allowed to talk about ganja on this blog anymore, my mom said.

I don't have a job, so I don't have any money, I don't have a band anymore, my best friend doesn't have time for me anymore, and my girlfriend hates me.

But honestly, life is good.

And You Were A Crow

Hmmm. Bad show today. Bad, bad show.

Nick's amp started smoking, then died. So only one guitar player. It was real real real bad. My voice cracked once.

Oh well, life goes on.

In other news, I got 10 grams of really great bud yesterday with David Platt (Yes, he's still alive). It was amazing. I've got some rillos that I'm going to roll later. 

Not for you, Wes... we're starting you on light stuff.

Parlor Mob

Fuck, I love life. But it's probably the Prozac. Or the marijuana. Or the Dakota.

All the same, life is good. 

Today I cleared out the back of my closet so I can grow ganja myself. (I know, laugh... I'm a pathetic stoner blah blah blah) But I'm tired of buying it. It's a pain in the ass and I don't wanna deal with bad people, you know. 

Whatever makes Daniel happy.

I started writing a new song today! Capo 6th fret. It's real interesting. I still don't have much going with this whole "solo project", but It'll get there. I wrote a real interesting journal today about why heaven doesn't exist, which I might get into a little bit sometime on this blog but not really... I don't think religious beliefs should be pushed on anyone.

Except for Christians. Just kidding. But seriously.

20 Milli

There are 20 million marijuana users in the United States. 20 million. Despite being illegal, marijuana is in the top 5 most produced cash crops in the United States.

But our government still fights a drug war that they won't win. Taking our tax money to criminalize people for smoking the holy herb. There are 829,000 marijuana arrests each year... more than all violent crimes (murder, rape, etc.) combined.

But you know, whatever keeps it away from kids.

All the prohibition of cannabis does is waste time, money, and law enforcement. It creates a black market that can sometimes be violent. Why does it make a person a criminal if he chooses to smoke ganja rather than drink alcohol or smoke tobacco? 

The prohibition of cannabis is far more dangerous than the plant itself. Do your research kids. Do not listen to dare. You won't kill your little brother by smoking a joint.

norml.org

Ah... I feel better.

Anyway, tsog practice today. My last two shows with them are the 14th and 17th. Go to them. I gave lessons today. Guitar and drums... message me if you want some :) I need to do more layouts. And also I have an essay due for language tomorrow. It's supposed to be like a college application essay.

Fuck.

As if I'm not going to have to write enough college essays... I have to write a fake one.

Fuck Evergreen, fuck rednecks, fuck conservatives, fuck patriotism, fuck America.

I'm moving to Amsterdam.

Warts... Ouch.

I'm gonna take a picture of my honors art projects soon and put them on here. I'm doing like large scale line drawings. I sketch the picture in my sketchbook with a Sharpie, stretch a big canvas, project the sketch onto the canvas, outline all the Sharpie lines, and paint in all the lines with black acrylic. No easy task. But it's turning out better than I expected. I'm gonna go with this style for a while.

I'm also working on a layout for Devil, I Lived, but I'm having some trouble with html nonsense. Here it is so far, I really like how it's turning out:

The links do work, I just can't figure some shit out yet.

And I just froze all my warts. All 12 of them. It hurts. On a lighter note, I finally cleaned the studio a little bit. But, my dog has been really bad lately and my dad is getting rid of him. I want to cry, but he's a retarded dog and he won't stay out of trouble. We thought that if he got his balls removed he'd get better, but he got worse. Little bastard.

I think I'm also gonna put norml.org updates on here. Because I'm a pothead. No but really, marijuana should be legalized whether you smoke it or not. And for those of you who don't, you should try... it's not as lethal as dare tells you.

I'm really enjoying bogging for some reason. I am aware that only like 2 1/2 people ever read any of my blogs, but it's a good way to end the day.

Snuggle up to the computer and write a good blog.

Calexico

I need money. I need to go get the Calexico/Iron & Wine ep from Culture Clash. I started writing for my solo stuff today, but nothing significant to show for it. I have no idea what to call it either.

There she is... I previewed it on Itunes and it sounds like good stuff.

I wish I had a camera so I could do a photo blog. But I need money. Bad. I should really get a job but I really really don't want to.

I know... I'll start posting pictures of layouts and design work I've done. That will make my blogs even more interesting than they already are. I need to take a shower. Don't believe what Rita tells you, her hair is a rat's nest. A nasty pile of greasy hair. Mine isn't. At all. In fact, I'm going to go shower right after I publish this blog. I used to think blogging was stupid. Like, "What the hell, who the fuck cares about some dumb suburban kid's teenage drama?" And that's still true. But It's pretty cool. I mean, for an adolescent.

Blah, blah, blah, horrible day. Fuck my life.

:)

Final Farewells.

I have just received news that a few of the adult swim greats have left us. For the rest of the year, Squidbillies, The Boondocks, and the great Aqua Teen Hunger force will be removed from the network. I shed a tear whilst typing this. 

I take this time now to reflect on a memorable Squidbillies moment:

30% more...

and for our fallen friends at Aqua Teen Hunger Force:

I love you Carl. I love you.

These shows have seen my through my summers, through the laffs, through the tears, and through the worst cases of munchies.

I'll miss you guys.

If anyone knows when their getting back on (if ever) let me know.. I'm having a hard time coping.

damn you html

Dakota's this morning...  John and Daniel came over and we smoked hookah for awhile.

AND I CAN'T GET THIS DAMN HTML TO WORK!! I'm tired and I don't want to put up with it. I'm pretty bored right now.

I'm thinking about starting a solo project again. I did a while ago but I never wrote anything. I'm really into Iron & Wine so I wanna do something like folk rock/experimental. I don't know.

And I need a Mac Pro. With a cinema screen. I envy you Chris Bear(er).. two cinema screens and a Mac Pro. And it's at my neighbor's house so Chris might just wake up to an empty desk tomorrow. hehehe, but seriously...

Don't mess with a man's Mac.
