...do so here. Josh, I've told you this and so have so many others. You have accomplished a lot in your life. But right now, you've hit a plateau. You do need to step it up a bit. The days you don't work, you get up late and lay around and watch movies or animes. Do something... Get that keyboard and some kind of recording device and write music.

KISS was good for me yes. Also I am not looking for self-pity. Maybe its just a little bit of motivation, which you do always give. But still there are things that I know you will never come to understand. Things that I am going through. And yes getting shit water on your hand sucks, not being able to write music sucks, and not having a job sucks the ultimate balls ever. But your parents never told you to go to college and get a real job. They never said, "Don't try to be a musician you'll end up poor and on the streets!" Which they actually told jared numerous times...not me of course. But even if you were inches in front of death you have the core man! You have an awesome family that would do anything for you! You have a wife and sole companion that absolutely fucking adores you! You have a brother that would fly into a fight and start swinging without even knowing what is going on! If I had those three things, I could be dieing and I'd still have the courage to live

You're right, you shouldn't have to look further than your family for moral support. But, some people do; you're one of those people. Jesse and I are fortunate, but as Jesse said, my Dad didn't necessarily want his two boys following in his footsteps. He just didn't angry when we decided to. My Mom and Dad wanted all their kids to get a better education so we'd all have money, and not have to go through the struggles they did. Only Katie has made that step (of Mom's kids).

They've actually told me to go to college and get a real job before... I don't have a wife or a girlfriend... and you've had one more recently than I have. I also have no job, and today, I just found out I have to make a late payment on a credit card, because they are faggots and apparently Thursday at 5:30 is too late for a payment do on Saturday, and they wont process it until Monday, so they can fuck me for another $39. All of that stuff is pretty shitty, and I'm still generally happy. (Which I still do need that $35, though it can just be $25, since I said fuck that late one, I'm going to wait till Tuesday when I get paid again to pay it. Can't be much more late than late.)

Yeah I got your money! lol. I just didn't have time to run it over today. Been working on the bathroom...so that pretty much consumes my life. And I am pretty sure you have had a girlfriend more recently then me. It's been five years last month. But that's not what I am complaining about yo...though I do complain about that a lot.

Did Josh break some secret pact that I was to never to be made aware you had a girlfriend!!!1!!1??? Now I don't feel so bad for you... Just a little less bad. And Josh, quit talking about girlfriends and significant others! When you bust outta that self loathing shell you're in and actually approach women and try to interact with them, then, and only then, will I feel bad for you. You've made some monumental mistakes in that department, but it doesn't mean you can never love again.
