like a cat

read more
write more
talk less
think of new ideas
try new things
quit vices
dont listen to anyone
always kiss the prettiest girl

this is proof

classes have been good
already working on some projects
that i feel could turn out really well
lots involving blood
& new photo techniques
& self deprecation
thats kind of what i do

i went to philly yesterday
& lancaster
got the rest of my stuff
philly again next weekend?
new york maybe
possibly boston
i like keeping my options open

i saw bryan fallon of gaslight anthem
play an acoustic show last week
& of course it was amazing

2 new books in the works
based around the fact that
all i can think about these days
are 3 girls from florida
who are spread out all over the east coast
but all somehow are taking up space in my mind

stay free

classes start today
it feels weird
since i havent had real class
since last may
im excited to start working again
& trying to produce work to meet deadlines

i found where i want to work after school

im going to new york next weekend
to see the #12s last show
& hopefully get in
some melissa & harmony time

control the rage

i put off finding a job
in efforts of enjoying myself
im ready for classes to start

i got drunker last nite than i have in a while
& it just reiterated the fact that i shouldnt drink
fall out boy "take this to your grave"
has become my new running soundtrack
& against me! "as the eternal cowboy"
has become my get thru the day soundtrack
i know im about 5 years late on both
you win some
you lose some

ive been thinking to much lately
girls in ny
that i never had the chance to fuck up with
girls in florida
that make me question location
& girls in dc
that make me scream along
ive done somethings that im not to proud of
when gaslight anthem
pours from the stereo

its been a long time coming

turn of the key

i got back yesterday
tour was amazing
& weve all already talked
about summer tour
amazing music
all nite drives
& best friends
whats not to love
photos are up
while it was amazing
its made being back in dc even harder
as someone once told me
you are constantly in search of something
other than where you are
the words have never been truer
in ny i wanted to be here
now im here
& i want to be everywhere else

i didnt get to see tara
gainesville made me realize
how much i miss having harmony around
florida reminded me of beezer
gaslight anthem wont let me forget
how much of a hopeless romantic i am
& punk rock still makes the heart & soul
feel better
than any drink or therapist ever will

new years off to a good start

im trying to write a couple short stories
im going to start playing bass again
& ive learned not to cut your own hair
without a 2nd mirror
or at the very least a 2nd drink
& also try not to hang out with people
youve slept with
who still miss you

im living out of a box til the 30th
sleeping on the couch
that will be about 6 weeks
of living out of a bag/box
while awesome
its also not at the same time

mass amounts of running have begun
as well as ceasing consumption of alcohol

ps lean on sheena by the bouncing souls
will beat any other song youve ever listened to
in an awesome contest
