Oh, it's been a while, not as long as my last livejournal post but still some time. What has changed you may ask, if so my answer will be, "Nothing" even though a few things have. I still drown in pessimism with no sign of shore, and I still hate myself but that is to be expected if you have known me over the past few months. Let make a list of things that have, that will help clarify my thoughts. it always does:
1.) I'm growing addicted to a couple of things, but they are healthy addictions, at least in my opinion. The first addiction is to literature, I read the most amazing book of my life(not a big claim, I've read few I consider good) and am going to be reading a lot more in the coming weeks. The second addiction is to coffee, not caffeine but just the taste, I love the bitterness of a cup of coffee. Reading Josh Caps' livejournal entry on coffee let me now of the numerous health benefits of coffee. ii's not that which persuaded me to drink it, I occasionally suffer from insomnia and am lucky o get 3 hours of sleep an night. This is especially true in the past week.
2.) I lost almost all connection to the outside world, leaving my room usually just to shower and occasionally eat. I spent the time discovering new bands and reading about movies and books. I mowed grass as well and people have came over for band practices. I haven't talked to a few good friends in over 2 weeks I believe it is now, and to you apologize for disappearing if you have missed me.
3.) Band practices have been productive, both Never Lose Hope and Operation: LifeSaver have 10 minutes of mostly original material. Never Lose Hope has 3 new demo songs posted, if you want to check them out they are o my top friends, number 2 to be precise.
4.) My mom's getting married.
5.) Going to Skate-A-Que tomorrow with Dave and Jon, 43 bands for $12.
6.) I bought a Thought Riot and the new Strike Anywhere albums, both of which are very good.
7.) Ate at the China Star and had a really interesting and entertaining conversation with Josh Caps, Jon, and Justin and I met Josh's brother.
I may still have a horrible outlook on life, suffer from paranoia and many other things, and regret the last months I am growing optimism. That's a good thing, hell, that's an amazing thing. Hope and optimism, are they needed to build esteem, I don't know. After all, I am not a philosopher or psychologist but I do know one thing, I will try as hard as I can to improve myself.
