Last night was one of those nights where tallying up your drinks the next day (and the amount of time spent consuming said drinks) leads to feeling like a stupid asshole instead of a super-awesome party animal. In one night, two of my friends got married and another had her 21st. Festivities started at 4 PM, and ended somewhere around 1:30/2 AM with me drinking...

We're getting evicted. We should receive our two months notice in the mail in a day or two, and now we have a house inspection in a week on top of it, just to add another ingredient to this shit sandwich of a day I've had.
Later on, I talking to a friend about how shitty the last twenty-four hours have been, and she says...

What of the people who don't have what I ain't got?
Are they victims of my leisure?
I did two loads of washing and hung it all out on the line on Sunday - and yesterday it rained all day.
Our drummer announced his departure on Sunday, and then said he may reconsider later in the day. On top of this, we have another drummer...

Right now I'm sitting in my room, listening to records and eating a mind-blowingly good bowl of my mom's chicken soup. This situation wins in every way.
A German Spectacle's first real jam is happening in less than seven hours. After three months of posting ads and wondering if we were ever gonna be a band, we finally have a drummer. I've yet to...

Get him to play Panasonic Youth. Then, get demos up, yo.

I totally agree that the link between female companionship and creativity is related. And, I feel as if I got one right then the other would come easily. If I was getting laid on a regular basis and if the girl was cute and not a total dead shit and I liked her then I would be happy most of the time which would breed creativity. On the other hand, if I hooked up some marginal success by either making a film or getting a band together that would be somehow recognised then I'm sure I'd have a lot more choice when it came to empty lays on the table.
This is why we have bad art in the world.
Given that above all else is my driving desire to be honest with whatever I'm creating you won't see me bowing down to popular demand any time soon. In fact, quite the opposite; I've been playing drums over the past few days, writing tracks by myself until my bassist can move his gear in next week. The objective with the songwriting; come up with shit that will make you pass out if you play it twice in a row. Really attempt to bridge the gap intensity wise. And since I've never heard such a thing on radio I doubt that once things get up there's a chance of too much recognition.
I'm fairly optimistic, albeit about the future.
Many thanks for your words sir, put an IOU from moi in your bank account/pants -- wherever you'll want the deposit

For my darling housemate:
Authority's shackles constrict the bloodflow to my potential
Unable to do a thing for fear of being told to do it right
If I could, I'd take a sledgehammer to every single alarm clock
Hold a bonfire to burn every train schedule and picket fence
Kick in every locked door and shout above every single radio
And one day it'll all...

Things that are Awesome
- Finding ISIS' 'Panopticon' on vinyl
- Buying a mint copy of Rorschach's 'Remain Sedate' on vinyl
- Doing an all-vinyl order from the US, including Systral, Kilara, The Birds Are Spies, and The Flying Worker!
(Yeah, I've bought a bit too much music recently, and sadly my bank balance proves this)

Everyone is going to the ball, mayng.
Ire Works (or the prospect of what it's going to be, at least) is giving me a huge hard on. Fucking Gil Sharone, yo.
Where'd you hook up the ISIS vinyl? Latest thing I bought on licorice pizza was a live At The Drive In show from 2001 in Japan. I can't wait until I stop being a tight ass or win lotto and can afford to shell out for this kind of stuff on a regular basis.
That said, I did spend over $200 on Police tickets.
Sting is going to put his cock in my mouth.
That image for the lose.

band-sluts need love too, but mostly they just need a punch in the face, cold sore cream and a chastity belt.
Awesome, awesome weekend.
Thursday: Got drunk w/ a friend on almost nothing, thanks to O'Malley's and their $5.50 jugs.
Friday: Walls of Jericho/MIndsnare/Unearth. MIndsnare alone made the show amazing - that and keeping my glasses intact.
Saturday: To The North/Art Vandelay/A Secret Death/ENVY!!! Holy shit - one of the most awe-inspiring, beautiful performances I've ever had the pleasure of seeing and hearing.
Sunday: Finally cleaned...

whoooohoo yay!
lilypurr:
5.50 jugs are you fucking kidding me...where is O'malley's?
This weekend was a waste - worked early on Saturday, and hence stayed in Friday night, and then crashed as soon as I came home from work, even though I was invited to a party. Today was spent lazing around and briefly jamming with Leo. Next weekend will be a different story - Envy's show on Saturday alone guarantees it'll be amazing.

aww if i was a badass drummer i would do it
There's a reason for everything, and you may find it infinitely rewarding to pursue exactly what that reason is. At the very least, it could be an interesting five minutes or so. Personally, I've been dissecting everything around me in this fashion for as long as I can remember, and there isn't an end in sight.

UPDAAAAAAAAAAAAAATE... or at least come out fridaynight
At the moment I'm sick with a bastard of a throat infection. I'm on antibiotics and have been told to rest, so no drinking or nights out for a little bit. Sucks not being/having fun, but hopefully I'll be over it soon.
On Wednesday I went to my police-issued drug diversion program, but I might as well start from the beginning with this story -...
