not much has changed
in fact, nothing's changed
i've got nothing to lose
still lookin for what i have to gain

this may take a while. it's already taken too long.
i think i'm gonna lock the door and i ain't comin' out no more
the sun's too bright and the moon's too right
go to work all day, stay home all night
last night i was going to throw everything in my room away,
but then i smoked a bowl instead.


something's changed
someone's changed
but it wasn't me
and that's what i have to change

09:41 pm - Brighter Days Ahead
There's no one to talk to and I have nothing to do tomorrow. Work tonight was incredibly slow.  I want to work on my new songs but it getting late and folks are sleeping.
Life isn't so bad. There are still good times to be had.  I finished "Hey Nostradamus" the other day and am now trying to find a new book to read.  If you have any suggestions, comment me.  One of these paychecks soon, I might go to the library and pay off all my fines.  Then the trick would be to keep them non-existant.
I believe it's time to make the jump to digital recording and I'm excited.  I plan on getting an 8-track as soon as possible. 8 TRACKS, I'M SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Also, I'm going to get my organ fixed up real nice(mainly just get the contacts cleaned).

02:46 pm - Good Afternoon, my fellow Americans.

I've decided that I'm not going to let anything bring me down.
I've also decided that I have a definite purpose.

Hi
Today was okay. I have work at 5! My first Friday night at my new job. I'm sure the place'll be hoppin'.
I should use my time wisely. Maybe I'll record a demo or something.
Yeah! I think that's just what I'll do..


If you have my number, call it sometime.

don't do to others what pisses you off
even if it gets your boulders off
just try and think a lot
and be happy with what you've got
tomorrow when the sun comes up
you know that you'll thank me
or hate me

12:11 pm - what happened?

 i just spent a while going through all my old entries. where is everybody?! i was so young and i still am    sort of. sometimes i wish i wasn't so doggone lonesome. i do have some pretty good friends though! one void filled! life is weird. i keep telling myself that whatever happens happens but i can't help but think that i affect that in some way. that might not make any sense to you, but it does to me. maybe i just have to do something different. try something new? change? sometimes it's hard to notice change. sometimes it's hard to change. either way, i want to hear from all of you. every last cotton pickin' fucker. loves.

"i need to taste your voice in my mouth
 i need to taste your voice in the air
 i need to feel your skin against all that i retch out
 and feel your voice all over everywhere
 i need to paste your skin around the mailbox
 and hold the postman in your smile
 i need to fill your lungs with smallpox
 and feel the blow of a second story fire
 beautiful baby, all filled with angels
 beautiful baby, all filled with angels
 beautiful baby, all filled with angels
 beautiful baby, all filled with aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaangels"

10:28 am - I don't have a job

Today I quit my job at Augustine Landing. I'm pretty damn sure that it was for the best. That place was driving me batty, not to mention depressing the shit out of me. I don't know what I'm going to do for now, but I'm sure I will find something. I guess I don't get my diploma until May or whenev. I went to Mandarin High today to return my parking pass. They called and left a message at 7 this morning telling me that I can't walk if I don't return it. I wasn't even planning on going up there but after I talked to my manager on the phone, I went and jumped in my car like I was going to work, I think I thought I was going to pick up my W-2. But then I realized, they probably have to send for it and shit and mail it to me. Well, at least I quit right after the last pay period ends, so I will be getting a check next week. Hopefully, I will have another job by then. We'll just have to wait and see. Not too long though.

01:56 pm - sound familiar?
it was such a waste of time
to call and changed your mind
the ambulance was already on the scene

your bedside is lonely 
the second hand ticking slowly
on your watch,on your wrist,inside your brain

11:41 pm - stalefish

feelin' kinda incomplete
smashed in a bottle in the street
but hey! at least i'm free now
floating in the air i rise
see myself in your eyes
but you're way up in the skies
how do you do you that?

i'm on my way i swear
i just don't know if you're gonna be there
a trail of smoke and
mirrors and tears
and i'll see more and more
another sea,another shore
i wish,i wish i could



i wrote this song at the shanty church a while back,recorded it the other day and i think i like it.i found it in a stack of papers(drawings,songs and such) that i didn't think should be thrown away.i really miss that bag of art goodies.

12:54 am

i have family upstairs and downstairs
i have friends who laugh and have a fun time
i have a sole partner,where is my partner's soul?
in a horse,in a carriage
somewhere else,someone else

twisting around that winding axle
chasing the wind-risen dust
looking at me through the back window
seeing nothing through the wind-risen dust

you were headed to pensacola
you hoping to meet some new people there
i told you people were the same everywhere
you already knew that,you just didn't care
you already knew that,you just didn't care

i was headed for north dakota
i was hoping to score big there
it didn't happen
i never scored big

just because you got a fresh start
doesn't mean you got a new life
you're gonna have to carry your
baggage around in your dirty mind

just because you got a fresh start

11:25 pm - your lips and fingers are green and blue
i just finished typing all the lyrics for the steel oatmeal album;"weedman's regular",if you didn't already know the title. we're one the verge of getting it mastered,which is totally amazing and i can't wait to hear it cleaned up and whatnot.other than that,life has been interesting lately(you probably already know the details and i don't feel like going into it).i think i've been forced to realize what i need and what i don't need.everything happens for a reason and i think that some good will come of my current badness.
helios eye is supposed to be featured in the folio soon,which is certainly pretty badass.i think helios eye is about to go places.i can't wait to practice again.
steel oatmeal will start work on our next album very soon.we only have one song recorded so far that isn't a demo.i'm very excited. second albums are always interesting.
in my dreams,i can walk.
give me a ring sometime.

09:09 pm - it's hard to be hopeful
i think i think too much

lately i've been doing alot of that.
not much of this.
thing's should be alright though,school's almost over again.next year will be my last year and i will probably only attend for 1 semester.it's hard to be in school when everyone you love isn't.it's hard to be younger when everyone you love isn't.i always thought it was hard to dig myself out of holes.but maybe i just stood there too long and was blanketed with dirt.fossilized in thought.
i'm not lost but i don't know what to do next.
change?
no.
yes.
make up your own mind.i guess i should just write some songs.
