I have played the guitar on and off for about ten years now. It has become a reationship forged through the times of doubt, despair, hopelessness, and emptiness. I always knew, that if nothing else, i could still pick out a couple riffs, and everything would be cool. I tried to play tonight and, for the first time since i was 12, i felt overwhelmed ( Read more... )

Does anybody feel the same way i do? I realize everyone's got their "problems", but i just wanna know why it is that i've come to feel this way. I hate how it seems like everyone else and their mother can articulate exactly why, how, and to what degree they feel depressed. Which "Dr." Phil episode did you watch to realize that "you've gotta be ( Read more... )

I was 19, living with my ex-girlfriend in Northern California, a little over a year after my family decided to pack it up and move to Gilbert, Arizona. One day I receive a 6-page letter, that reads ( Read more... )

So I'm trying to quit smoking... again. I've smoked since I was 12 years old, and never thought I would be 'that guy' who got hooked. Back then, I didn't understand how people could get addicted to things, wrote them off as suckers. Little did I know that I would be labeled a person with an 'addictive personality'. I always told myself, I'll ( Read more... )

If you have quicktime, check out Slightly Stoopid doing one of my favorite songs, Zeplike, live HERE. Fuckin incredible.

Went to the Slightly Stoopid concert tonight. Good stuff. There was an opening act, a three piece band from australia called The Beautiful Girls, despite the fact that its three dudes. I have much respect for the three man band, as i know from experience that its very difficult to play guitar and sing at the same time, let alone sound amazing. ( Read more... )

Some things boil to the surface, finally demanding one's attention. Obviously I am who I am, I'm not perfect - nor is anyone else, so we all live our lives, coping with (and sometimes unaware of) our faults. I have come to realize some of my own. As lame and cliche as this might sound, my inner-strength is running a little short these days. As ( Read more... )

I went out with my brother tonight. for those of you that dont know, my family, as well as my brother, are mormon. My brother is, well, my brother. Not in the 'yer my brother because you get drunk with me every weekend' fratboy sense, but the way that someone can truly understand what youve been through because they have seen it and been there ( Read more... )

Ok, so a little bit has happened since i've written last, probably some life altering events. But then again, every instance in your life is a life altering event. The only difference is how big or small. I feel this one is up there. Have you ever wanted something so bad that nothing else mattered? Even to the point where you didnt think you ( Read more... )

I did my time, now im free. Its my first day out and i dont even know what to do with myself. I tried not to think about today because it would just make it harder for me. Actually i just kind of coasted through the whole experience, not trying to think about it too much, when i did it just made me feel frustrated and helpless. so i killed time ( Read more... )
