VM = Sad.
I am sitting here crying my eyes out over something that i virtually have no control over. Perhaps that is just as frustrating as the situation. It seems that NO MATTER how I try, my efforts are entirely fruitless. It's tough to see your idols fall in front of your face, and no matter how far you reach out, it is never far enough. It solidifies things when you actually say the words out loud. and to receive confirmation from others makes it feel even more awful.
I can't accept that this is it. A hollow body with no substance. His soul, the characteristics that defined him as a person, have exited the body and left an empty hole in him and everyone around him.
I am angry for the first time. I have past the point of sympathy, now I am just FUCKING mad that things are somehow now at a stand still. And because I am so FUCKING mad....... i cry

Well I finally got my dishwasher, a month later, but it's here. I don't think they even looked at the other maintenance requests i put in, but I'm over it. I have a dishwasher, Yay!!
I realized today that I can pinpoint the EXACT reason that I love punk music so much. It is the inevitable transition between slower beginnings going into the pounding, fast drum beat that defines the genre of music itself. It is the climax of the song itself. The first verse is the build up, to the point where there is no other was to move forward without pausing, and the singer exclaiming "Let's Go"! The energy comes searing out of the speakers and the pure meaning of the song overcomes the listener and puts them in the moment the song so eloquently describes. It allows the listener to be in that moment, and feel the passion of the vocalist in an entirely new light. Good Stuff

OK
So remember how awesome my place is? WELL, take that back. Apartment = Good. Management = WORST POSSIBLE CHOICE. The office is ignoring my calls about my broke ass dishwasher, so FINALLY today I get a hold of the owner of the condo/ management company or whatever. He is a royal asshole and I end up hanging up on him, fuckface. I wrote him a reasonable letter (little nasty, but reasonable) and dropped it off with a copy of my log of calls/dates/requests/responses - oh yes i am a bit anal sometimes, as well as copies of the Tempe Fair Housing Acts and other crap like that. My dishwasher is one of the amenities that is listed in my lease as being provided by him. I am just asking for them to fucking fix it and hook me up with some compensation since i will go a full month without a dishwasher.
I come home affter dropping that shit off at the office, pop on the interrnet and look up the Tempe Tenants Union, and there it is:The Article
This is a full article on their website about what an slum lord mutha fucka this guy is, not refunding security deposits and evicting renters. ASU has a free legal department that said they have more than 20% of their complaints about this guy. He is well known around Tempe as a guy you should never rent from. Bummer.
This is lame. Here's a kick ass picture of my cat. I'm loving photography right now

Living alone is so cool in so many ways. Peeing with the door open and listening to music in the morning are two of my favorites so far. My apartment just has a very positive energy about it right now, it makes me happy 
I have reignited my love for music, and I'm really into it right now . Some of the new bands I have been listening to: Saosin, Hawk Nelson, Motor City Soundtrack (yeah DETroit), Alkaline Trio, Taking Back Sunday, No Use for a Name, OAR, Plain White Tees, are really getting me pumped up now.
Its kinda funny how free time affects people. Having no roommates, no cable, no Internet half the time, has made me want to pick up on some older interests that I have let go by the wayside. Even though my digital camera pretty much sucks asshole, I have been experimenting with some photography, which is something that I obsessed about in high school and my early 20's. (Side Note: Did I just say early 20's?!?!!?!? Oh crap I'm getting old). Now that I am a Photoshop ninja, this should be interesting. The intertwining of old and new interests will soon produce something unique, that I can promise. Good or Bad, well that's up to interpretation.
On that happy note, I'm out.

Sweet Relief, I found an apartment. YEAH!!!
It was the first one I looked at and I had a feeling it would be the one I rents, but I had to window shop a bit. The price is nice and I will be closer to work and in a younger area. I love where I live, but I think I still have a few years of ripping it up before I get serious and think about investing in some prime real estate. I'm excited and for some reason a bit scared in the pit of my stomach.... This is going to be a good experience, but it may get lonely at times. I'm looking forward to having my naked time back.
Wish me luck moving, it is already getting to be 100 degrees in the valley, so it'll be an adventure alright

Fuck Fuck Fuckity Fuck. I hate looking for places. I am so frustrated today. Every ad that I answered this week regarding apartments was a complete waste of time. I saw a place last night that was a bit further out than I wanted, but I thought hey, maybe it's a nice place. The layout of the apartment was incredibly odd. The main entrance was basically a sliding glass door that opened into a courtyard shared by a grip of apartments. So if I forgot to shut my blinds everyone could just look in and see what I was up to. The bedroom wouldn't even have it my bed (king), and it had a "closet" door for a door. So everyone could just look in, see what i was doing, then break in, knowing there wasn't even a fucking lock on the bedroom door. I can go on and on... People lie in their ad too. I am supposed to look at a place tomorrow that is supposed to be a "1BD/1BA", but it is actually sharing a 2 bedroom with him, which has one bedroom and one bathroom that would be mine. Right. I applied for this really cute little condo today, I am really crossing my fingers. It's just large enough, has a W/D, rent is ok, marble (prob fake) counters, new paint. I have one credit issue, but there is a 2/3 chance that it will not show up on the report. Fingers Crossed.
Everyone send me your positive thoughts, energy, and good luck, I really want this place.

Whats up people. I'm not an avid blogger, but here goes.
So whats going on in my life, might you ask? Well, I am looking for an apartment currently, and I fucking hate living in apartments, so this is not going well. I think I found one that I like, let's see how my credit does, might not even me an option. My roommate's girlfriend is moving in mid may, and that would make four of us living in the house. There's room enough for all of us physically, but for some reason there is not room for all of us personality / ego - wise. I don't care too much, I'm kinda excited to live on my own (even in an overpriced little apartment), I just need to find a place fast and I'm not motivated in the least!
I had to take my cat to the emergency vet last week. He developed a large abscess on his neck and had to have it surgically removed, poor thing. He has eight stitches in his neck and he looks so very pathetic
He is supposed to be wearing this soft cone around his neck, but he hates it and I can't stop laughing at him. He has no peripheral vision so he walks into things
He's okay though, he'll make it.
Thats all for now. Gotta go amke a hot pocket and see whats going on in my house tonight
