i never use this bloody thing anymore, so i've decided to lay it to rest with one last proper entry of what's been going on in my life.
my trip to montreal to see shark attack/haymaker resulted in the forging of a few great friendships, one of which is with one extremely like-minded kid by the name of Matt K., who shares a similiar distaste with conventional lifestyles and a hatred towards those who feed off of the exploitation of others. I'll get back to why this is evident later. Anyways, speaking of exploitation, I now whore myself to a loeb's grocery store (think shaw's) and absolutely despise each second i'm there. i pretend that its an ok option because i'll be making money, but really i'm just selling my life away to people who don't even care about me. i guess i wouldn't mind if the work was honest, but i'm working in a deli (which has also killed my love for eating meat), so fuck it.
late last month i thought about making a movie that dealt with how detached we as a society are, and how unfeeling this world has become. a movie that would hopefully help people realize that life isn't meant to be spent working awful jobs, while you give up your personal dreams to live for someone else. i brought up the idea to a friend and he ran with it, and is writing a script which is turning out to be a fucking beautiful thing. I've also started writing some lyrics, and passed them onto a friend who has me singing for his band now, so that's another outlet for how pissed i've been in the past few months. i'm finally happy with the things i've been producing for the first time in... well... probably my life.
i recently went to go see guns up! and outbreak in montreal and i didn't break anything
i'm not drinking anymore, but i'm not edge, in fact i don't know what i am. i guess for once i'm myself. i've also been seeing someone for the past few weeks and its been going very well.
in about 6 months, a few friends and i are going to be getting a house together, which should be quite the experience.
things aren't perfect, but i'm taking my life back on my own terms.
hope everyone worth caring about is doing well, and i know i haven't spoken to anyone back home in awhile, but know that a day doesn't go by that i don't think about all of you.
