Mood: distressed
What's On Your Mind: Why the eff am I so bored?!

    So bored. I can't stand doing nothing. I feel so pathetic.

Music: Channeling Elements - Candiria is playing in my head...
Mood: annoyed
What's On Your Mind: various philosopical conundrums
What's In Your Pockets: nothing
Wisdom: Can a man walk through the furnace without garments being burned?

    So my keys are not manifesting themselves, making myself unable to attend previous occupational matters at which I was needed around 9:00 AM. I am hoping they will turn up soon before I am forced to reset existence.

    This day is proving itself to be worthless, as is my body, the worthless piece of junk. Physical limitations are a joke, and therefore I ignore them. If my body is too stupid to realize it is a figment of my imagination, I will punch it repeatedly until it gets it right.

    Someone wake me up, please, because I'm starting to hate you all.

Music: Qualms Of Reality - Meshuggah is playing in my head...
Mood: odd
What's On Your Mind: summer
What's In Your Pockets: small fortune thing...the paper thing....you know
Wisdom: children are shoveled into!!

    So, yeah. I've been out for a while. Some of which I cannot discuss due to pending legal matters (!!!)....I may have to testify in court. I'll explain later. But, I also went to California and got back this past Thursday. Not much to report there. People have grown up in their different ways since elementary school.

    But, let me tell you this! On the flight back I sat next to an underground boxer. He told me all about it, and it was very interesting. I was surprised to know that that stuff still goes on. It was cool though, and the guy was very nice. He had a 17 year old daughter and a 20 year old son.

    Also, when my plane layed over in St. Louis, I visited Mary! It was great. I mean, who else would engineer a sign for me that misspelled my name AND enemaface and THEN give me bounce dryer sheets? The answer is no one. Thus, I have to visit her again this summer, and I will.

    So yeah, I also took 12 dramamine the other day. This is not advised. Not for my health, but for yours. My tolerance is much higher than yours. Let me tell you though, that was an interesting experience.

    I'm doing construction work today/this morning, so I have to depart.

    Am I back?

    since school's been out, i've lost a lot of stress. my computer's down, limiting my internet time (and the time i want to USE the internet) and therefore increasing my other activities. today, i went out to lake lanier for swimming with a group of my friends. we hung out, ate, drank, and had a good time. i got sunburned, but i was there for about 4 or 5 hours without sunscreen so oh well. we ate watermelons (some laced with rum) and sugar cane. heh, then on the way back we ate at this weird ass hot wings restaurant and went to an antique/flea market shop. and we smoked in the car on the way home.

    let's make all my days this fun, mmkay?

Mood: ponderous
What's On Your Mind: traitors, friends, and wondering if helping others is worth it
What's In Your Pockets: nothing
Wisdom: It IS worth it...

    I've worked out some of my problems with my friends. Some of them I had to completely shut out after yelling at them and explaining my point because they were too childish. I'm sorry to those who have had to put up with me during this trying time of friendships.

    I appreciate your understanding.

    As for those others, "you are the enemy..."

    Been having some slight problems lately. Just trying to tolerate things until the year's over and I'm free. A lot of people around here really suck. I hope I'll find some decent people when I go to college.

Music: Why You'd Want To Live Here - Death Cab For Cutie
Mood: distressed
What's On Your Mind: rosalind trahan
What's In Your Pockets: nothing
Wisdom: -none-

    I had this strange sense today... I woke up feeling fine. I went to your service and saw you lying there, but it wasn't you. The life was gone, and they tried to doll up your face with pretty colors. It wasn't you because it wasn't your life in that wax-like body. You were gone, but I gave the letters to you anyway.

    I sat through your service and kept my calm, an odd serenity was held over me as I watch others break down and it reminded me why I get this sickening feeling in my stomach every time. I wanted to grasp the arm of each one of your family members, and stare into their eyes, tell them that things were alright. The preacher talked about Jesus and Catholicism, but I knew that wasn't your life. Your life was the Radiohead on the speakers... the friends from the theaters... the peace that you gave me.

    And as I spoke with your mom, I could see her in you, and I could her you in her voice as she recalled you in her memories, smiling and being wonderful just like you. And I was able to keep myself straight the whole time.

    As I was returning home, though. It hit me again hard. I squirmed in the car with that sinking feeling in my stomach, trying to hold it in. You had left me, it seemed, because I wasn't calm any longer. I was again struck by that perilous fear that something was imminently wrong to my senses.

    I realized how self-assured you were. That even in your short time here you touched so many people and lived life so fully and my heart raced about how horrible I feel all the time. That my life has been so bad and I always feel like I'm wasting my time. It's hard to quell those emotions sometimes, but I realized that I can't go on like this anymore. Your death came at a very strange time in my life, and I hope that I'm able to move on and quit worrying so god damn much and live my life.

    My heart goes out infinite times to your loved ones, and I thank you so much.

    I spent over two and a half hours writing Roz a four page letter and scanning it. I'm going to put in her casket or in her grave...

    I have my AP French test on Wednesday, and Roz's funeral is tomorrow. I'm leaving a little before noon to attend.

5.4.02 - 6:00 PM

Music: Your Bruise - Death Cab For Cutie
Mood: sad, sick, ponderous
What's On Your Mind: life, friends
What's In Your Pockets: pen, pencil, paper with address of hospital on it
Wisdom: There is no right or wrong; things just are.

    I'm sitting here and I just got back from the hospital and my work. I think I'm starting to get the flu, but I'm trying to hold it off because I'm recording tomorrow.

    My friend Roz died today from a brain aneurysm. Earlier my friend Emily contacted me and told me that she had an aneurysm and was in the hospital.

      she had had a headache for the last week. but never went to the hospital. because she doesnt have insurance. and no money to pay for a doctor's bill. and if they had caught it earlier, like even a couple days, well, her chances would have been much better.

    I called work and they told me the number and hospital location. I was wrestling with the idea of going over there, because I'm not very outgoing and felt like I might be out of place amongst family and who not. I decided I needed to go though because Roz was a friend of mine and I thought it's the least I could do.

    Parking was 10 dollars due to the hospital being close to some music festival going on this weekend. I got in there and when I finally found the right corridor to go down, they had said she had passed away earlier that morning. No one was around anymore. The beds were made, cleaned, and sterile. No trace left...

    I drove to work and sat around for the shows to get in and told my friend Patrick and he told my friends Clay and Maria.

    I knew Roz from my work. Rosalind Trahan. She was French Cajun, and was very nice. She had large, sort of mystifying eyes and I enjoyed her company. Smart, wacky, strong. She was beautiful, too. She left my theater to work at our other one because she and our managaer did not get along. Every once in a while I'd see her around at the theater or walking along. We'd send each other emails every so often, and I had hoped we'd hang out sometime.

    I don't really feel regretful, so I don't know why I feel sad about this. My left hand is shaking uncontrollably and I don't know why this is bothering me. I can't explain it to myself, as usual. I'm sitting here wondering if anyone else understands stuff like this; if anyone can hear my thoughts right now.

    I suppose what I feel can be summed up in Donne's poem best:

    "Any man's death diminishes me,
    because I am involved in Mankind;
    And therefore never send to
    know for whom the bell tolls;
    It tolls for thee..."

    Rest in peace. Some people we wish didn't have to go...

Music: We'll Never See The Day - Meshuggah
Mood: tired, wafting
What's On Your Mind: life, music, friends
What's In Your Pockets: nothing
Wisdom: If thou dost fuck around, thou dost asketh to see what will happen.

    I'm just sitting around listening to Meshuggah and talking to people. I got a vague idea on a new book that I'm writing, but I haven't done that much with it yet. I think I'm gonna go hang out with Jason and maybe try to write in it or something. Who knows. I'm hungry, and I'm craving a sourdough burger from Burger King with fries and free cheese sauce. My mouth waters, but I think they close soon. Fuck! Oh well, maybe I can find something else.

    If you don't know, I think I'm going to Goucher College in Baltimore next year. Maybe it'll be good for me to get out of here. There's always something you have to leave behind though....

    Yeah, well. I'm out.
