| I am always amazed...
I just first of all wanted to say that I'm always amazed at the stupidty of people.
It's
been about just around a month since I last posted a journal entry
here, and I felt it was time to update on the status of things all
around in my life.
First of all: Target is going downhill for
me. I'm not saying I'm quitting, but right now I'm just not "reaping
the profits" as they say. Basically that means that I'm not getting
hours, which is retarded to me, because I've been there for a year and
a half, yet the johnny off the street can get 30 hours a week, and I
get four - eight, that's cute. So basically I'm saying that I need a
job that pays at least $8 dollars an hour that can give me two days out
of seven off, my choice, and is willing to allow me to be off on sunday
mornings. Sure, Aldi's is hiring here in town, and I'm planning on
going there to see what their deal is ($12.40 an hour is awesome pay),
but they want at least 20 - 40 hours a week, and that's alot. So if
anyone knows of a dream job like that, that isn't fast food, and I can
actually enjoy, holla back at cha boy.
Secondly, I wanted to
clear the air of this Esther chick one more time (and hopefully the
last). First of all: to those of you that have been unfortunte enough
to hate to listen to her blab on and on about stuff that hasn't
happened, I apologize. But when you are someone that has no life, you
tend to create stories. I really wish she would just stop saying
things about Marilyn and I at work, because now pretty much the entire
store has come and told me that she has said at least something to
them. I'm tired of it, it's like beating a dead horse that is dead
three times over. Seriously, get a life, move on. And another thing:
Don't ever have your stupid hick boyfriend call me, he's even worse in
real life with his intelect then he is on the internet, made me laugh
for a good few hours.
Prom is two weeks away, and that's
cool. Marilyn and I went to the tuxedo place today and we rented a
tuxedo for myself, so it's all good.
Marilyn and I are doing
great, we are going to be celebrating ninteen months next friday (april
27th), and we are happier than ever!
I want to ask for prayer
for those of you that know me, I'll be starting counseling on monday
for a very serious personal problem from the past. For those few that
know me really well and are close with me, you know the story, for
everyone else, perhaps one day I'll be able to speak of it. Wish me
luck as this new journey begins to take place in my life.
Oh in
my music news: The new album is done and I will be handing out/selling
copies on April 24th, 2007. I know the album was supposed to come out
like two weeks ago, but because alot of this personal issues from the
past came up over the course of the last two weeks, I couldn't finish
making copies. So I promise, it'll be ready to go on Tuesday, April
27th, 2007. For those of you that don't know, this is my fifth album,
and it's titled: "With Arms Open". I'm also excited to announce that
it's the first of a two album set for this year. The other album will
be out this fall as I record it over this summer. And yes, the other
half will be a bit happier...@?@?@?@!?
Well that's all for now folks, stay tuned... | | |
| Alright, so this past week has been re-dick. With this constant fear of getting a cold or something worse (I'm basically on verge of getting sick yet it doesn't fully bust out of the gate), and now this whole situation with this Esther girl, things have just gotten really out of hand.
Wait, what'd you say, there's a problem with Esther? Yeah. For those of you that don't go to my myspace page, which you really should
http://www.myspace.com/theonlyamazingmyspace
But I'll give you a nice re-cap. Basically this Esther girl has been really rude to Marilyn and I. She's been giving Marilyn and I dirty looks every time either I'm working, or her and I are just in there for our leisure and she's working. Then I found out that she's already moved on, she's dating someone she's apparently met over the internet, some guy from Delaware that is 25 years old, as big as my house, and has a kid. He's also an out of work truck driver.
Well I was being nice, and then Esther decided to post a rude comment on Marilyn's myspace, since then all hell seemed to break on the whole situation. I started writing blogs about it, and I was having problems with the whole situation. Then this loser boyfriend of Esther's, Robert, decided to step in and call me a fag and Marliyn a "gutter smut". After a few very educated messages I sent back to him, I only learned that I not only now hate all truck drivers, but this guy is one freaking stupid person. Most likely didn't even get his G.E.D. or Diploma.
He blames his weight on a car accident, yeah...right.
Anyways it's been quiet yesterday and today, so hopefully the battle is over. Things like this are stupid, and sometimes immature people need to just grow a set a move on.

| Yeah so let me start by saying that things with Marilyn and I are better then ever.
But now onto the title of my entry.
First of all Crackdown is out for the 360 and it's amazing. Awesome game, it's actually taken me away from playing Gears of War.
But onto tonights academy awards.
First of all in production values, it's seriously the worst academy awards ceremony in the last ten years. All this "entertaining" bs they threw at us, with the whole Emotions & Motions thing, retarded. But after that, the awards, well they were a suprise.
Alan Arkin winning for "Little Miss Sunshine" was a real charmer. I was happy, being a huge fan of that movie, but that wasn't the biggest moment of the night for me.
My best moment was seeing Martin Scorsese finally win his much deserved ten times over Academy Award for his finest achievement in film-making, which is "The Departed". The film is a masterpiece, it's his masterpiece, and he's finally got that gold statue he's been deserving for the last thirty-years.
The disappointments were "An Inconvenient Truth" winning both best original song and best documentary. Come on, liberal Hollywood, lets leave politics at the door next year. And that whole Al Gore plug was really unnecessary. Re-dick as I say these days.
All in all I was happy with the winners for the most part though.
Other then that...
______________________________________
I will be starting production and recording on the new Armistice album on Monday, March 5th. I think a lot of you are going to be really surprised at how different things are sounding these days. I'm really happy with the new direction, and I'm sure a lot of you will be as well. When you take a step back and make music you want to make, not the music others want to, that's when you can truly stand out and shine your best.
I also might throw up a demo or two of my other side project, "This Burning Obsession". You'll just have to wait and see what next week brings.
______________________________________
I'm also suffering from the most re-dick and horrible sore throat right now. I'm really hating it.
But alas I must bid my departure until another entry.

| And no, I didn't mean to steal that title from Marvin Gaye, it just worked out that way.
As many of you might know, as well as many of you are in the dark on it, the last two weeks of my life have been some of the most trying ever. Marilyn and I went through our deepest and darkest struggle as a couple as we could have ever had, but we've come out of it closer together then ever.
Marilyn has re-dedicated her life to God, and she is already showing signs of change. She has started doing daily devotions, she is going to start coming to church with myself and my family, and her and I are starting to pray together.
Here's what happened in a nut-shell: Marilyn felt that she was treating me wrong and so she broke it off with me, just wanting to remain friends. She then got involved in some things I don't wish to describe or repeat, that's all confidential, however I will tell you that she went back to her ex boyfriend for a week, and during this time she became broken and realized not only how much she loves me, but how much she needed God back in her life. Through my faithfulness to her and prayer, she has re-dedicated her life, and she is now back with me. We will be forgetting that these two weeks happened, and we plan to celebrate seventeen months together on the 27th.
And where does this leave me? I've also re-dedicated my life to God. I've fallen astray, not in the same fashion as her, but in somewhat of a way. I've been also dealing with another very difficult situation from the past that only my closest family members, friends, and of course the love of my life know about. They have all pulled together around me through this trying time, and I feel as if God has brought this past problem/subject up for a purpose that I have yet to see.
Armistice is still around. I am still going to record the new album the first week of March. I have new songs written, and yes, it's going to be quite a treat. I'm really excited about my new music. I am also going to start working on recording and laying down music tracks for the other project, "This Burning Obession", which you can expect to see taking off sometime this summer.
I'm also going to start updating my xanga more often. I know I haven't really updated it, but I am now.
But alas, with all of this, things are back to normal and I love Marilyn more then I ever have. She's come around, I've come around, everyone has come around.
I love you Marilyn!

| After some flushing out, I've finally got a name to the new side project I'm working on. "This Burning Obsession" is the new side project, and once you hear it, that's when you'll know what it's about. For now visit: http://www.myspace.com/thisburningobsession for more info on it.
I started my diet on January 8th, and so far it's been going well. I haven't had a soda since that day, and the only day I had to cheat a little was today, because my dad was going to go on and on about me not eating the pizza he just bought, other then that it's been going good.
Other then that Marilyn and I are doing wonderful, Jack Bauer is finally back, and just as good as he always is, and I start college classes tomorrow (actually hopefully we get snowed in, it's coming down pretty good right now.
So onward and keep me in your prayers.
