Well here I am... a simple boy with simple tastes with a complex view of life in a complicated world. I work and I go to school studying psychology. As much as my studies fascinate me, and I love it, I'd really like to be done at this point. Currently doing youth work which will hopefully be a continued career path, and loving it. I fell into the world of body modification rather randomly, but it's contributed some absolutely amazing experiences to my life I wouldn't trade for anything. I'm young and full of ideas dreams and aspirations, hopefully the will to follow them through as well. Easy going, laid back, and just looking to accomplish at least some small measure of my ideals (or as much as possible). I am who I am, which doesn't say much at all, but is also a pretty good summary at the same time. I'm mostly just ranting for the sake of putting a description of myself out there.... and I think it's about time to wrap it up.....
Tis an online community, so just enjoyin sharing my experiences, getting to talk with new folks, and keep in touch with those I've met through various events and shennaniganz!
Gone through wide assortment of holes in my body, slowly painting the canvas, and some other mods as well.
2010/02/04 03:51 Looks like I've nearly successfully evicted Abigail at this point. Good riddance to that pain in my crotch.
In other news, I've booked an appointment to finish my tattoo on me ribs! It's only been 4 years since I've done any work on it, but whatever. It's about time! Will be good to see Trev and all those guys from the shop too, it's been a long time since I've made my way out there, I'm preeeeetty stoked.
2010/01/30 05:18 that about half the people on my buddy list haven't updated in at least a year. Some haven't updated since 05/06.... Maybe I should clean that list up a bit...
There are certain times where having a hectic schedule REALLY bothers me.
2010/01/29 05:58 Mostly just cause I never spend as much time visiting with people I care about as I should/would like to.
And often, I don't really appreciate it 'till it's too late. The number of times that rad people in my life have moved away, or worse, died, and it isn't until that moment that I realize how little I've seen of them really sucks.
I'm not sure how much this is one of those situations, cause I can't say that me and the person that have sparked these thoughts were ever that close, but he most certainly is a rad dude. The tattoo artist who did the rose down my side is moving back to the East coast! I haven't even seen the fellow in forever, but back when I lived in Richmond, it feels like I was in that shop almost everyday with the guys that worked there, or goin out for food, drinks, whatever. I didn't have much of a social circle out in Richmond, so those guys kind of were a significant part of my time living out there. And since I've moved away, I've pretty much spent zero time out there, and done a lousy job keeping in touch.
*Sigh* C'est la vie. I'm happy for him though, that he gets back to move back to the place that he calls home with his wife and two loverly children, so that's awesome. I just gotta get out there to see him before he leaves, and make an appointment to finish the piece that has been incomplete for about.... 4-5 years now??? Jebus murphy time flies, and I'm not good at managing it.
2010/01/29 01:27 So I'm making a solid commitment to trying to be a fully nocturnal being for at least the next few months till I finish my semester. I think it will be easier to stay up all night consistently and sleep after my 8am and 11am classes, since I have to do my graveyard shifts at work anyway. And I guess I'll try and sleep from some time early morning to early afternoon for my 4pm class... that one kinda fits in weird.
All I know is that being all over the map with sleeping patterns is not helping with the burnout situation.
Pretty sure I have the content for this semester under control though. At least, I understand the material easy enough. So long as I can keep my motivation up high enough to get my assignments done, this should be in ze bag.
One more semester to go.....
Oh yeah!! And I have my 2 week break coming up soon! I wouldn't mind making plans to get the fuck out of the Van for a bunch of that time (still not too keen on being wrapped up in all the shenanigans of the Olympics), but we'll see what happens. If I can lock down something soon, then I'll try and book the time off work
So today I logged into the online journal website (I guess it's pretty much a blog, I dunno what the difference between the two would really be) that I've had an account on since August of '03 for the first time in ages. Sweet jebus murphy. The website has gone through a few changes, recently having updated to 3.0. Now, back when the website updated to 2.0, a whole bunch of the content I'd put up was somehow lost or damaged, so the lass who runs the website put all that content into a folder on my page called 'system fix'. However, I was not able to access that content at all, just came up as an error any time I tried.
Well apparently with the upgrade to 3.0 all of that content is now accessible again, and oh lordy. Peeking in on shit I wrote 6 years ago without having seen it in nearly as long was quite a treat.
Some of it was the typical emo crap I'd expect from back then, going through the turmoil of dealing with the shite family life, the disaster that was me and Kendra's relationship, yadda yadda yadda. Some of that shit was pretty repetitive, and after the first post or two of that it was kinda boring, with the exception of one or two good quips here and there.
Some of the inane banter in there though?? Jebus murphy, I'm not sure if it was all just stuff that came off the top of my head, or some was influenced by things I heard elsewhere, but there were entries titled things like:
"well, maybe she wouldn't be a lesbian if you tucked in your shirt more often".
Pausing mid-sentence to comment on
"Why is it REjoicing anyway? I don't remember joicing the first time".
"Here’s an update. Here’s a rock. Here’s a lamp. And here’s a picture of me."
"So till next time folks.... ummm..... remember...... red means stop, green means go.... unless your eating jelly beans...... in which case green means lime and red means cherry.... unless red means rasberry.... or cinnamon.... or.... oh my... this is just getting all too confusing... I’m just going to leave now."
The gems continue I assure you. Most of it was just crap, but at the same time, kinda entertaining and heart warming to peek into my own brain from 6 years ago. I think my perspective of the world has changed a fair bit since then, much of the same remains, but I almost feel like I've lost part of that silliness that I had... kinda sad. I'll have to work on fixing that.
