alright the other day i decided to go for a drive when i realised i had nothing to do and i was sick of aimlessly walking around my house. so basically i ended up at the spit. which was surprisingly cool. 

basically i ended up writing some shit, which may or may not be any good. but it was inspired by my surrondings. a good friend of mine recently told me one way or another, that the good the bad and the ugly all deserve a place to stay... so here it is.

she's sick of her life

sick of her friends

that she though had meant

so much more than this

well she though wrong

she climbs in her car

tank almost dry

the pulls out the drive

trying not to cry

the knows that she can make it

on this one way trip

she runs

runs to the ocean

and she dives

dives in with her clothes on

she lets the salt 

wash away the tears

all this pain

all these fears

he knocks on her door

hoping he made it

he finds a note

left before him

he knows he is to late to help her

but he had his chance

the note that she left him

sits with a loaded gun

he wants to stop reading

its already begun

the cold metal runs along his finger tips

put this between your lips

pull the trigger 

go on i dare you

pull the trigger 

go on i dare you

and she swims

she doesnt look back

the drained from her clothes

like faded memories

and she swims

she wont ever go back

she is finally free

from her broken dreams

so run

run to the ocean

dive in with your clothes on

let the salt burn your eyes 

and wash away the tears

as it takes way the pain

as it takes away your fears

run to the ocean.

yeah

favourite quote i recently read or heard:  i wont quote it all, but the first page of my journal was written by simonne, it is amazing.

thoughts: stoked on sizzler giving me free meal vouchers because they are slack as hell. thinking about what im gonna do tomorrow, maybe head out on the water, not sure. see what people are up to i guess.

a blog of my own.

so for christmas my dear friend simonne gave me a journal, which will kind of place this blog on the backburner for my own personal thoughts, which is most probably a good thing, as i will not bore the shit out of everyone (if anyone actually reads this anyways).  i havent actually written in my journal yet as i have no idea what to write, i always have shit on my mind, so i dont know where to start. anyways i will update this sucker later on tonight with some rad stuff.

one year ago tonight

so ive been thinking alot lately that i need some form of routine in my life, so ive decided each time i update this thing, i will follow a routine. or at least after i have written whatever is on my mind i will include a few questions, which will be the same each time i update, just to keep track of whats going on.

ok so exactly one year ago today, give or take a few hours, something happened, something so unexpected yet strangely familiar, pleasant yet awkward,  so wrong but it felt right.

this event directly influenced my life this year greatly. it made it so so much better and yet it made this year so bad at times that i felt like there was nothing else, i found myself wandering around aimlessly for hours until i finally would get so worked up that i would go try and do something stupid on my bike or whatever else i could find to scare the shit out of myself, or ended up broken and hurt. i didnt mind either way. so sometimes i ended up massively depressed, but on the other hand i at times i found myself so happy that nothing else mattered, i didnt care what was happening around me, whatever was troubling me the night before suddenly didnt matter to me, whatever i had on my mind was pushed out, i found these moments so addictive that i found myself unable to fulfil my need or better put my craving of it. the fact that i am a jealous piece of shit made that dealing with these times where usually when depression would come on.

although what happened this night took place a year ago, i remember it like it happened last week, yet what happened last week i cannot remember. i find myself on occasion thinking of what took place or more to the point what could have been.  but it is better to try and push these thoughts out of your head, dwelling on the past never does anyone any good. so now i look to the new year with a hope, a hope for a new freedom, freedom from the thoughts that constantly haunt me. i try and try to move, to something better, something less painful, something that will help me in the times that i do think back, but until then i find myself here reflecting on this year. a year i have grown so much mentally that i hardly recognise myself anymore. the year has come and gone so fast that i take the time now to answer a few self deprived questions about this year. 

 top 5 most listened to songs on this year -

1. konstantine. no explanation needed, played 159 times on ipod alone,  which equals 1 day 4 hours of the song

3. brand new. i can thank erin for this one. jesse is good but cant touch andrew.

5. rise against. solid tunes.

top 5 new bands of the year, for me anyways.

2. the rocket summer. simonne showed me bryce, and he is awesome.
3. city and colour.  dallas is amazing
4. vampire weekend. rad tunes for rad people
5. treaty of paris. andrew signed these guys to his label. so i signed them to my ipod. 

best night of the year

there was a night in january or early feb that was amazing for its own reason, but um i would say maybe city and colour at soundwaves, or a stoop night.

best day   
 anyday that i was not caring for anything was a good one. i dont think i could narrow it down. any day spent wakeboarding is always chill. soundwave was a awesome day. so many to pick

best experience.

europe for sure. so much to take in its not funny.

im not sure what else to ask myself. so now to what will be my routine questions. more may be added.

favourite quote i recently read or heard: "this is like... sexy hot. it feels very sexy in here." "i hope that 100 of your go home tonight and have sex. or 200 or 400. oh hell i hope ALL of you go home tonight and have sex. and think of me when you do." Andrew McMahon

thoughts: getting pretty tired. i wish that i didnt have to work tomorrow, and i want to get rid of my jealousy of everything.
