I doubt anyone's gonna read this, but fuck it. I don't care. I'm just doing this for myself, as a personal record. So it's been quite a while since my last journal post, which I must say was a complete bust. I figured I'd get more of a response to that, but no. Whatever.

So this year's been pretty eventful for me. Moved back up to Missouri, lost an uncle to cancer, moved out of my brother's ex fiance's house into an apartment which later burned down. Moved into another apartment in the same complex, which is where I am now. Started taking classes to be a vet assistant, and I'm almost done with the online portion. Said goodbye to my '96 Thunderbird, because it got totaled.

(Still) Struggling to find a job, and having no luck at all. Quit smoking on my birthday, and haven't had a craving since, and so far I've lost 13lbs, and hoping to lose more before my sister's wedding in November. Oh! Found out my best friend had 3' of his intestines removed, but so far it's been looked back on in laughter. This year has been one of both bad and good. I can only hope next year leans more toward the up and up.

Need to start on Kyle's tattoo design. Hope it comes out as good as it looks in my mind. Well that's all from yours truly for now, ladies and jelly spoons. Salami eggs and bacon, muthafukkas!

Update: I didn't think to add it, but thank you, Chester. Jenny and I have been together for a year and 8 months. Quite a feat for a relationship between two people separated by 8000+ miles. We're working on a way to make things official, tie the knot, and get here here in the states. So far I've been given some helpful info, but it could still be a few more months or even a year before anything major happens. I can wait that long. She's worth it

NOW FOR SOME MUSICAL APPRECIATION!! LIKE IT!

They know what everybody knows
Better sit a letter from a thief says
Why lead when everybody sleeps
So few ways to
Cover up your wounds
Lost in a finger forced to lie
This sends us medicating
Through it all

If you ever enter my mind
Stay there
You'll live
Defend it off and fool them all
Stay there

Faceless, so little there to judge
Left wing let's
Separate the cold out
Opposites, we never need to tell
One sting I've found I'm having to,
Having to

If you ever enter my mind
Stay there
You'll live
Defend it off and fool them all
Stay there
You'll live
Defend id off and fool them all

Solitude, waste of a man
This fades as soon as the sun sets

I now own this fatal role that lives
Imagine here's a better feel
Told to dissolve, or choose to fade
Or stay here you'll live

If you ever enter my mind
Stay there
You'll live
Defend it off and fool them all
Stay there
You'll live

If you ever enter my mind
Stay there
You'll live
Defend it off and fool them all
Stay there
