Random writing tidbits
In a dream, I find myself sprinting, barefoot and confused, searching for something. What it is I am looking for, I am unsure, but it instills a feeling a familiarity in my mind, and I know that I will surely recognize it when I find it. The walls, the ceiling, the floor, they are all built of carefully lain brick, jagged as the flesh of my heels slams on them. The hallway is lit, vast and empty, with ceilings stretching higher than I can even fathom, yet I travel up flights of stairs to levels even further skyward. Every door I open yields the same result; a decrepit kitchen, rotting in its emptiness, and a single mattress, tattered and laying in a corner. I have been running for a while now.
I am now stopped looking out a window, overseeing a small meadow parallel to the barren roadway which is lined with a seemingly infinite amount of buildings like the one I am currently in. So many places to look.
I give up. The search seems hopeless.
I head home and hear the voices of many, and beyond my front door are familiar faces, smiling, drunk. I take note of the people around me, laughing, dancing. I intrude on a two people fucking on my bed. I walk out of my room, embarrassed, and now the house is empty. I barge into my room, confused, and that too, is empty.
"Where were you?" - the note taped across my door. I look out the window to see if the meadow is still there. It isn't.
Today, when I woke up, I am putting in my contacts while my mom is talking. In my kitchen, I look outside to see the sky. Spring is close. My grandmother is sitting out by the green mossy pool, head tilted back, facing the sky, eyes tightly shut. I smile. My mom tells me that my grandmother told her how she felt like she would be better off dead. Sometimes, she even wishes it. I look back outside at her, head tilted up still. I can hear what she is thinking.
This world is strange, and we as well.

Tonight is really fucking boring so I am now cooking a pizza and decided I would just write whatever I was thinking about while the pizza was cooking. The pizza is burnt. FUCK.

3/14/11 (Godspeed You! Black Emperor)
Holy shit. The show was incredible. Everything I could have wanted (except they didn't play two songs I would've loved to hear.) But everything they played was so tight, I feel like they must have been practicing secretly for 8 years and not really broken up.
SET: (as far as I could tell)
Storm
Sleep
Moya
Static
Blaise Bailey Finnegan III
Motherfucker = Redeemer Part 1 (I think)
They were one for at least 2 hours and I loved every second of it, and they played a shit load of transition music and some pretty harsh noise at points. The visuals were pretty goddamn awesome as well. I really am thinking about going to another one before the week ends, even by myself.
Took a couple videos, then I just wanted to focus on the sound. We weren't as close as I would've liked, so the shot isn't great, but the sound came out very nice and this little flip never fails to impress me. So enjoy!
Intro:
Storm (first movement):
Sleep:
Fucking gives me the chills. Storm was definitely the high point for me.. that or Static, I just wish the sample they used for Static was louder. For anyone who's reading this who doesn't listen to GS!YBE, I really suggest getting:
F#A#Infinity - http://www.mediafire.com/?fgi8neoj1lb
Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas To Heaven - http://www.mediafire.com/?njkykyz2ynz
and
Slow Riot for New Zero Kanada - http://www.mediafire.com/?22wzzejmjio
The Dead Flag Blues (opening track on F#A#Infinity,) is the song that got me into them, but Lift Your Skinny Fists is definitely my favorite by them right now, but it switches between the two quite often. It's all gold honestly.
Enjoy.

Party last night, usual crew, good times, all the usual things. Kinda losing their excitement haha but still fun. Dom's here and it's great seeing him and Omar was supposed to come and that would've RULED cause I miss Omar but yeah.
Well I'm homeward bound tomorrow until next year. Ran out of money. It sucks. But whatever I wasn't accomplishing anything here anyway. I hope I can get somewhere while I'm home but who knows either. I hate this feeling of just drifting, and I feel it more and more and more now, even though I've felt it to a degree my whole life, what with moving to a different town or state every other year. I think having a niche is probably the most important thing, no matter how small it is, because with that you can feel belonging and accomplishment. Growing up, going to 6 different schools, constantly adjusting, I don't think I've ever really had that, and I think I feel it's effects most strongly these days, when I'm trying to find independence and self-sustaining happiness and fulfillment. I love my friends with all my heart but I always feel like an outsider looking in, and we're past the years of no responsibilities and everyone's branching out and gaining their independence, but I'm still stuck trying to figure everything else out. I also feel like this is probably why the last few years of my life I've had such a drive to have a girlfriend, because that's a role to fill, a niche. You feel needed. Realizing how dependent you are sucks. I don't really know what I'm getting at and I don't really know how to solve it yet, part of me wants to just hole up in my room at home and get right on my own and maybe get myself to start looking at the world differently, and the other part of me knows that I'll probably just go bat shit crazy if I try that. Who knows, day at a time I suppose.
So it goes.
EDIT: Also I really can't stop listening to this song, it's incredible:
I really like the video too except that one part where it zooms in on the kids face for like 15 seconds...

Taking videos of drunken shenanigans is only so humoring for so long, so I can't imagine it humoring all of you if it doesn't amuse me at all. Ummm let's see here... Last weekend was parade day, which as expected was a shit show, and while it was a blast doing car bombs at 10 in the morning, I really need to remember to pace myself, because coming to consciousness at like 4PM being really confused about the last 4 hours of your life is not a good way to enjoy an afternoon. But I had a great time from what I remember and hanging out at Jake's is so good he lives with some really chill people. I stopped drinking and was pretty much sober by like 8 or 9 and we went to the bars and I didn't drink and it was an awful idea because why would the Rat be fun unless you're drunk, butttt it was amusing to say the least. Salwen came through and we chilled on the bar street and people watched then got pizza. Walked back to Jake's with this girl Corey and slept there. Had a WONDERFUL slumber party with Jenn and Jake and her two friends from home, it was a blast. Nice people all around. Woke up and Koke was finally home (I was locked out all weekend) WHICH reminds me, that Friday night I slept over Salwen's. Him and Rob came over and we cooked some curried chicken which was fantastic and then went back to his place to draw and meet Kelsie's two friends and smoke some hookah. Watched Stella commentary and passed out. Then yeah, parade day.
On a side note, I really need to stop having (or attempting,) to have serious conversations with people while I'm drunk. I feel nothing but embarrassment at the thought of the idiotic things I could have said.
UMMMMM other things, last night was Erin's birthday and was one of the best Tuesday's so far. EVERYONE was at the Rat, even Salwen and Rob came which is unprecedented, and me and Jake (me and Joe) made it to the elite 8, also I got a fucking dominos pie which is always the best way to end a night. Also we ate some cake to celebrate Erin leaving her teens.
Today I played a shitload of basketball, the first time this year we actually got a real full court game going, and I am AWFUL but it's so fun as long as you're with chill people.
Also I'm working on this mosaic type thing, and by mosaic I mean a bunch of pieces of computer paper taped together... it's hopefully gonna be a huge tree to take up my whole wall, I've finished two pages which took HOURS AND HOURS, so it's not gonna be done anytime soon cause I'm estimating like 25 pages.
Other things, other things... yeah I don't know, not much. Hopefully having another party on Friday, hopefully gonna get Jake's house to come this time. Fucking, GODSPEED ON MONDAY, and Dom's gonna be here this weekend... some good days lined up.
I came across this idea for a book I started writing back in I THINK 11th or 12th grade... among other weird things I found on this computer (Salwen I found your yearbook entry!) Anyway, it was like THE MOST depressing thing ever hahaha I don't know why everything I write ends up being depressing... but the idea is interesting so I might pick it up again and see where I can take it. Being a writer would be pretty sick, I just HAAAAAAATE the idea of being an English major, cause fuck all those kids. God damn.
Hopefully gonna pull together another months rent so I don't have to move back home just yet. I like it here. I feel productive for once. Despite other things that I'm trying to work out to better myself, I think I'm in a good place here.
Next post I have is probably gonna be after Godspeed, and then I'll be home, so get ready for some amazing live footage, and then some good videos of being home and not drinking in excess!
Also, hey sister Ari, I hope you don't think I'm a huge loser because of my blog!
