Let me put it this way.

Thats my feeling on life at the current moment. Thanks to the internet, for allowing people to make drama in my life where i keep to myself, have little to no social life and just try to make everyone around me happy.

You win. Now fucking move on please. there is nothing left to destroy.

Everything Must Go.

"Garage Sale. Saturday.I need to pay
my heart's outstanding bills.
A cracked-up compass and a pocket watch,
some plastic daffodils.
The cutlery and coffee cups I stole from all-night restaurants,
a sense of wonder only slightly used
a year or two to haunt you in the dark.
For a phone call from far away
with a "Hi, how are you today?",
and a sign recovery comes
to the broken ones.
A wage-slave forty-hour work week weighs
a thousand kilograms.
So bend your knees comes with a free fake smile
for all your dumb demands.
The cordless razor that my father bought
when I turned 17,
a puke-green sofa, and the outline to
a complicated dream of dignity.
For a laugh, too loud and too long.
For a place where awkward belong,
and a sign recovery comes
to the broken ones.to the broken ones.to the broken ones.
For the broken ones.
"Or Best Offer."
-The Weakerthans.

Watch this movie.

I got home late last night from New York and couldnt sleep.
So, i had this movie laying around from the netflix that came before xmas.

It was inspirational, fascinating, sad, informative, interesting, uplifting, and most of all brought a feeling over me that makes me want to help these people in some sort of way. Look up the movie. Rent it, watch it online or whatever. I promise it will be worth the hour and a half out of your day.

I also took this picture last night of Providence Harbor when i got off the exit to my house.

CLICK THE IMAGE TO SEE LARGER, LOOKS WAY BETTER LARGE.
10 second exposure, iso 1600, sigma 10-20mm on a canon 30d.
i mounted the camera on a light pole where it was bracketed into the guardrail, and it fit just right so i didint have to hold the camera, and prevented shaking.

Christmas pictures next time.

Not so happy holidays this year.

Hope your holiday season is shaping up better than mine.

I avoided you for almost 2 years....

...you finally found me and cornered me.

I just went outside and took this.
Canon 30d, tripod, 50mm f1.8

Click the image to see it large. Looks good that way.


DAMN YOU SNOW. :(

I am so fucking tired.

I just took this right now. 1:34am, on December 18th 2008. I picked up my camera, turned it on, and took that. One picture, one feeling, one chance.

i have not had a single day off in 6 weeks.
Having 3 jobs seemed like a good way to make some money and keep busy. I guess i just jumped in a little too deep, too quick.

I have not even realized christmas was in 6 days.
I havent done ONE bit of christmas shopping.
My 20 hour a week job has been bumming me out way more than it should.
I get up every day at 7:20am to move my car from the pay lot before the attendant gets there and charges me, because providence is the worst city ever when it comes to street parking. You cant park on the street between 1am and 5am. If you do, a ticket costs you 20 bucks. I dont have a driveway at my apartment complex, but i feel dirty if i pay someone 50 bucks a month to park my damn car, so i just stick it to the man, and park in the lot when its unattended. Sweet life.

i have a shitty, shitty beard and an even shittier moustache. i have no one to impress, so, when the time comes, i will shave. Until then, im lettin it go.


i want to dig a hole, crawl in, and not come out.

Things are totally NOT comin up Milhouse.

Sunday mornings arent the same

When you cook all these pancakes for just yourself.





Vegan Chocolate chip pancakes:

1 cup all purpose flour
2 teaspoon baking powder
3 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon cocoa
1 tablespoon veg. oil
1.5 cups very vanilla soy milk
1/2 cup chocolate chips


add all together. mix until smooth. Pre-heat skillet and coat with earth balance spread.
keep flame on low after spread is melted.
pour mix in skillet, cook first side until the middle starts to bubble through, flip and cook second side for about 45 seconds to 1 minute more. Enjoy.

Leathermouth...

I love each one of these guys more than i can explain.
I'm glad they are my buds, and i wish them all the best with the release of their record, XO, on Epitaph records coming out in January 2009.



Leathermouth at Lupos, Providence RI 12/5/08

"Why do you work so much, Rich?"

...A co-worked asked me just now, when i told her i had to work 3 jobs
today, with just 30 minutes between them all.

My answer....

"I just....dont know"

Her- " is it because you have nothing better to do?"

Me- " .... Honestly, yes. "

That small conversation just made more impact on me than i could
possibly imagine.

Soul Control "Fundamental Forces" 7 inch update. Records are in my hands.

Today the records arrived at my humble abode. The mixed marble is on the right, and the 3 there are just examples at how they vary in color and look. There are about 4 different variants in the mixed; white with black, light yellow with black/brown, light blue and black and darker blue with black...pretty sweet.

then the orange and black are awesome too.

you can still order the black version right here... CLICK ME

Revelation Records Distro and Deathwish Inc distro will also have some of these in black to sell for those who didnt pre-order. So check them soon if my webstore runs out.

These will be assembled and shipped in the coming weeks. Busy dude with 3 jobs and trying to have a social life isn't really panning out. But youll get your records, dont worry. Thanks for your patience.

"GOD SAVE US!"

This is what i did 12 seconds into getting home from work today.
i had an instant message from Will Evans with a link in it.

i clicked the link, and the next thing i knew...i was staring at this:





at least i know ill be back in california exatly a year after i left it... what the hell man.

Its simply amazing how...

...A 20 minute phone conversation with someone you haven't talked to in months can turn around your day/week/month/year.

Even though it wasn't about anything deep or emotional, its the communication, and the voice i miss most.

One phone call has not made me feel so much better than tonight.

thank you, thank you, thank you.
