I'm not sure I even remember how to write anything coherent anymore. That's a lie, I'm good at writing. I've just realized that I have nothing interesting to say. The banalities of my daily life aren't worth documenting anymore. There's no turmoil anymore. I wake up and go to work...I come home and fall asleep. On my days off I go to Chico ( Read more... )

The problem is when home feels alien to you. For the better part of my years, although not by my own choice, I've lived in this town. I was born here, raised here, and even (gasp) graduated high school here. I've watched as the best redneck version of urban sprawl has tried to get it's concrete hands on this place. I've also seen what happens ( Read more... )

I talked to one of the best friends I've ever had the pleasure and opportunity of having in my life just a little while ago. He's leaving the area to persue his future in another state.

It made me pretty sad too...knowing that he isn't as big a part of my life as he used to be...and more that I'm not a part of his. That's my fault of course. I moved away from this shitty town, but also from my friend. I wished him all the happiness in the world, but ( Read more... )

It's been a while since I wrote an actual entry in this journal. One that isn't relaying facts presented in documentaries anyway ( Read more... )

Earlier tonight Lauren and I went to see a free screening of the documentary Wal-Mart: The High Cost Of Low Price at the State Theater in Red Bluff. The screening was held by a local organization that is (rightly so) opposed to the building of a new Wal-Mart Supercenter on a parcel of land adjacent to the already existing Wal-Mart ( Read more... )

From time to time you have to take a step back and take a look at your surroundings. Not just the room you're in that's in the house you're in on the street which you live. But, rather, your own collected little world. Look at the things and the people you keep around you. What song do you listen to when you feel down? What film do you watch ( Read more... )
