October 22, 2008

It's been 1 month since my Dad died. It's been an anxious, depressing, shitty of a month. Everything seems to be coming out ok, but I would give anything to have my Dad back. I would cut all limbs, my voice and sight, just t be able to have him back. I at least need to hear him. Lol. One roll to the left means no, one to the right means yes! Friday marks North Farewell's(my band) CD release show. At least to me, the WHOLE day and show and CD is for him. I like to think he was extremely proud of my music. He has told me many times, and each time I pretty much cried. So here's a drink to my Dad!

I started working officially today at KFC.. AGAIN! Hopefully it is temporary until I find a better paying job. It was a fast night. Thank goodness.

John is getting the rods out of his leg today. He has to have surgery for it, so good luck to him and everything. Kinda strange it is on the 1st month of our father's passing. Hopefully, in whatever anyone believes, he is watching over him and us. He has been doing well though. On my way to work, I ran into John driving his van that has been sitting for months. He opened his door and there was his leg just chilling while he was driving. He is a trooper. Lol.

Just a side note, Berry Cinnamon Wax Melts smell fucking amazing!

Pick some apples, pass some apples...

Today was pretty damn great. Jen, her Dad, and I went to Barnard Orchard. It was pretty chill and awesome. We picked some apples, got the best apple cider, and some pumpkins. Jen carved Oogie Boogie and I carved Chucky. They turned out pretty awesome. I forgot my damn apples from Jen's house. Damnit. Oh well. I will hopefully get them soon. This week should be a good one. As well as next week. Parties, shows, going out to eat with Jen, Chris and Ashley. should be a good end of the month.

So I never really have been able to keep a journal, blog, notebook, anything for more than 2 days, so here I am, trying again. The last 2 months or so have been, complete shit to say the least. Of course I have had some good times, but mostly, depressive, anxious, and boring. I lost my Dad Sept 22nd, I've been having like a complete mental breakdown cause I swear I am sick of something new EVERY day, I don't have any money, Jen is a bajillion miles away, and I do not have a drink within reach right now. Jen has been keeping me as sane as I can possibly be, and I thank her for EVERYTHING!

I have never been good at picking a spot to start a new paragraph. This looks good. So on a slightly happier note, my band, North Farewell is releasing our debut EP Oct 24th. It should be a good time. I am just pissed cause my Dad is not here to see it. I play music because of him. He would have been proud. He always was. I always teared up badly when he would tell me he was proud of what I have done playing music. Jen has been very supportive about the band. She has been there, taking pictures, putting up with my crap, and just being an awesome girlfriend. I have goten lucky with this band. My family supports me, my band mates are not giant douches(most of the time :D), and we seem to be progressing well. As long as I do not end up in the hospital from one of my self diagnostics, things should be awesome.

On another note, I have been jobless for a while. Not by choice. There must be this huge epicenter for jobs, and there is a billboard with my face and name on it with, "DO NOT HIRE!", REALLLLLY big on it. I have applied for so many jobs, and I am forced to go back to KFC. Luckily it is with Rick. He is fun to work with, considering he has been my friend for like, 8 years. Money is money no matter how you make it. People who think I am a loser for working in a dump like KFC can seriously go fuck themselves. My money is the same as yours.

Am I doing these paragraph transitions right? I dunno. So the past 10 months have been great thanks to Jen. Aside from the obvious things that bring me down. She has always been there for me. I have no clue how or why she puts up with me. Maybe my mom pays her well. Who knows. Sunday we are going to an orchard with her Dad, which I am really excited for. Perhaps carve some pumpkins? Drink some fresh ass cider? I am sure somethign great will happen. Then Friday we have my band's CD release show. Then Saturday, Chris and I are taking out our ladies for a day of fun. More like 2-3 things, but they are fun. Then that night, HALLOWEEN PARTY! Helllllll yeah. Should be a good time. I need the release.

I think my update of the past few months has been sufficient. I could have gone for ages, but unfortueatly, I lack the quirky, almost pointless ways of telling things, so it just gets boring. I just tend to use commas a lot.
