(no subject)
i havent written in this in a looong while...mainly because this summers been a huge fucking roller coaster of emotions, fun, anger, making music, great times, bad times, etc...shit's been far from steady for me, but im pretty sure everything is starting to straighten out. ive been through more of an emotional roller coast than most of my friends probably realize, but ive tried to leave it up to myself to live it and learn from it. ive learned that i need to just take things with a grain of salt and accept certain things for what they are, but not passively. either embrace them, reject them, and react accordingly. i realized that i need to channel my anger and frustrations down a certain path, which is what led me to the lifestyle i chose for myself in the first place. these past few months have been all about rediscovering myself, what i believe, who i am, what i love, who i love, etc. being in israel is now a huge blur to me...most of it is forgotten, and most of what is forgotten has been so for a good reason. i learned a lot during those nine months but very little of it redirected my life or my personality, and it only reaffirmed my beliefs even more so. in a way, i got EXACTLY what i wanted out of it, even though i probably expected it to be different than what it was. it makes sense to me. i have less than two weeks here before i go to philly. i intend for my trip to philly to be one of the best weeks of my life, as i am spending it with my best and closest friend. i feel like i didn't spend ample time with him when he was in town, because i was going through a lot of shit and he also lived in sugar land while i lived in houston.
SO here's more of a typical livejournal update of fun shit thats been going on:
been working at diedrich's...the job is fucking great. i dont get the best hourly wage, but the tips are pretty damn good and the job is incredibly relaxed. everyone i work with is entertaining and interesting, and ive had some good conversations with my coworkers. i could even see myself hanging out with a lot of them outside of work. itd probably happen if i was to work there for longer, but i don't have much time left. i really dont mind being there at all unless its really slow, i get hooked up, people come visit me all the time, i can do pretty much whatever i want as long as i do a decent job (which isn't hard)...i actually really recommend working there for anyone who wants a job in the area. sometimes you don't get great hours, but just pick up other peoples if you don't. definetly worth those three shitty weeks of being unemployed.
there have been quite a few parties over this summer as well as shows (thou, at the gates, skarp, gruk staying over, doldrums, etc etc)...sedition books opened at 901 richmond and ive been trying to get more involved with the activist community...i didnt plan on doing much here this summer since im moving to austin, but i decided to pick up some shifts at sedition whenever im in town and do whatever other little things i can do to help out. the new location is super badass, and i definetly suggest you all visit and support. been jamming (i could always jam a fuck of a lot more, though..) decided that andrew is a great new person to make music with. saw batman (incredible) and ive been cooking a LOT...two mega potlucks so far (soul food/bbq and asian)...mediterranean this thursday. lots of people, lots of laughs, LOTS of food...and lots of circle H tattoos thanks to ethan. zombies is a pretty cool/nerdy game. props to justin for that one. id like to see a few more specific things happen before i depart for philly/the weekend after i come back. let's see if we can make 'em happen.
