ATTACKED!!!

work was long and tolling tonight - i had to take a kid to the doctor today - which took a whoping two hours - a hour and a half of which i spent with him in a very crowded waiting room with lots of old people - oh god - just by my client and me walking into the room the mean age lowered only to 70 - it was a small cramped room - made even smalled by all the wheel chairs moving around - of course we had to sit by two of the three doors in the place - so in and out all the time - i have scrapes on me legs now by old people running into me with the wheel chairs - although i will admit it was comedy -

receptionist:you don't look so well earl.
earl:(being escorted by his wife even deathlier looking wife)i ain't dead yet woman!

or the even classic...

the assistent came out of the back room door and proceeded to call a womans name over and over again, until finally the elderly womans daughter realized they wanted her and helped the elderly woman to stand up - as they were walking to the door the woman let out a huge fart - to which she stated in a dazed look...
elderly woman: what was that?
daughter: (trying not to looked embarrased) it was just some wind.
elderly woman:don't let it blow me down.

and with that one i about lost it - normally i wouldn't laugh at such a sad sight as an elderly person losing their mind - but after sitting listening to fucking midi-made elevator music for an hour i just about lost it - i was choking on my laugh and just about did it out loud - but i am gald i could control myself - i need to set an example for my kids - even though he was laughing too -

the rest of the day went - not good or bad just went - troubles with yelling, cursing and just plain old shit all over - it was just one of those days where you just want peace and quiet and you never get it -

I COME HOME EVERYNIGHT HOPING FOR A WHITE BOX ON MY COMPUTER SCREEN - AND EVERY NIGTH I SEE NOTHING

i have been out tonight - and i am a bit drunk - so this will be blunt and breif to the extent of me saying everythign i neeed to say quickely and consicely - although the words will be spellt wrong and things might now make sense - i need to write things down now - or i will be lost in them -

as i am forever trying to get things back into working order - i don't know what to say - i keep thinking about my future and how htis will work - I LOVE HIM - nd i don't think he knows that - or maybe he is done with me and he just doesnt care - are all my words falling on deaf ears? -

i come home from work everynight after not hearing forom him and i hope as i open my door that my computer screan will have a AIM message screan on it from him - io am to the point where anythin will do - it could say "how is the dic" or "was that fuck great" or anything it to "how are you" and "was work good, just wondering" - i don't care at all - i am to the point where i thinki am killing myself - i want to die over this so much - all i do is think of him - and it will be constued as -

oh well its ok - you are just upset over it all - give it al while

or

you are afraid of being alone

or

just get over it and move on - you need to move on and sleep with other people -

and i am sitting here after everyone tells me these things and i am still SAD - no one knows - no one realizes - what the fuck do i have to do to show how much i love him - or is this really it? - am i really doomed to never have him wth me again -

AND I AM NOT TALKING ABOUT SEX - not everything in this world is about sex - i will never feel him against me at night - i will never be the person he calls everyday - i will never be the person that he looks too to have a life with -

everyone has one person in there life that they fall for and feel that i am not that person in his life - but he is taht person for me - i asked him once if he ever had someone that he loved compeletely and what happened when it ended - he said get over it and move on - WELL I REFUSE TO DO ATHT -

i will not do that - i won't move on - and if that means that i never talk to him again and he doesn't ever talk to me again - and we are starangers when we see each other then i gues i eill except that - i don't know what to do with nmy life anymroe -

i miss him all the time - and i don't know if he misses me -



i went out tonigh with people - people i always go out with - and i realized as i wias sitting alone at a table while there were all having fun that i am lone - i have people to do stuff with - but no one to BE with - no one to talk to when i am sad - no one to talk to when i am angry - no one tolounge with when i am depresseed - because i don't want to bother taht person in my life back here cause i think he gets his fill of me in one day -

god i don't know what to do with my life anymore - i want to die sometimes - i seriously do - i just want to end it all - but if i fail -

is that an option?

what do i have then?

"LET ME TOUCH YOU FOR A WHILE"

its nights like this that i really miss chris - laying dazzed on my couch i think about all the things about him - when i couldn't fall asleep right away at his place when i would stay there i would lay awake in his bed - he grinds his teeth at night - sometimes i would awake when he used to sleep right next to me - his body next to me - i could hear him grinding his teeth - but he would look so peaceful - i lay on my couch clinging tightly to a pillow like i used to sleep with him some nights - my arm stretched over his side or around his chest - laying right behind him curled up to fit perfectly with his body shape - feeling his breathing - his chest moving up and down - slowly - rythmicly - i could feel his body moving as he slept - letting my hand rest on his chest - feeling his hair - his body - moving - slowly - sleeping - the grinding - i miss it all - i love it all - its funny how you get so used to something that when you don't have it you are misserable - sleeping isn't the same - it's hard to hold a pillow that doesn't have its own warmth or breathing and call it the same - its not even right to call a pillow some half assed replacement to use until whenever - its never the same - it will never be the same - sometimes i just wish i could lay with him and hold him for 10 minutes - just that would make me happier -

******

trying to get to sleep i put in a slow mix of alison krauss and union station tonight- which is where the title of the entry comes in - she was singing me to sleep tonight - you should visit her place sometime - click on the title of this entry for a redirect to her - but i listened to this song repeatedly a few times - dwelling on things - everything i do reminds me of him - and i listened to alison sing so sweetly - she puts it so perfectly when she says.....

"I know a way to make you smile, just let me whisper things you never heard before. Just let me touch you babe, just let me touch you for a while."

UNDER THE MILKYWAY


i hurt myself last night - and now to remind me i have a painful bump on my head that hurts to touch and raise my brow - i wanted last night to make me have fun - instead now i have more pain -

i went out with a couple of friends - it was from the start a "night to get obliterated" and i took it with strides - i didn't care what bar i was going to - i was only looking for liqour - not was other people are telling me to go do - i did not go to a bar looking for sex - i wanted to get drunk - i booted up to the bar and ordered the first of 7 jack and sours - soon straws became to hazardous to me as i jabbed my lip and cheek a few times - soon sipping joined the straw and dissappeared from my night - downing jack and sours - drining to make myself happy - drinking to become lighthearted and fun - i had programed the juke-box with songs that i loved - the cars, patsy cline, gorillaz, the white stripes - i sang them all to chad who laughed back at the fool i was becoming - more drinks arived courtesy of trevor feeding the frenzy - a game of pool didn't work so well as i was too drunk to hold the pool cue when i would shoot - i didn't hit any of the balls and if i did hit one it was never the cue ball - laughing - i called jennifer and told her i was drunk and having fun and about my troubles in the bathroom - she worries - and i told her not to -

more drinks went down my throat and i became more and more drunk - stuttering and sluring more then usual - cursing loudly and falling - i slammed the bit of a drink due to trevors insisting - and ran to the rest room - i found the toilet ok - they had a few walls to hold onto - i threw up - violently - cursing - "fuck this" "shit, oh no" - over and over again - holding onto the wall and hearing the trevor walking in saying "yeah, he's sick" - i don't remember all too much of the rest of the night - bits and pieces - i remember trying to talk out and running my head into the condom machine twice as i was colapsing into chads arms - damn drunks -

trevor told me that he drove us home to me muttering "i don't want to be drunk anymore" up into the alley of the townhouse when i opened the door of the moving car and fell out to puke some more - he said i was falling out of the car and dragging on the ground in the alley - he apparently got out and picked me up off the street - took me inside and i was screaming for "help" cause "i don't want to die" - over and over again "i don't want to die" - why i was screaming that i am not sure - some inate emotional sentament boiling over in my drunkin state - i didn't want to die apparently - chad said he rubbed my back as we listened to my cd from the car as i tried to puke more for about an hour - i was singing gary jules "mad world" as they played it over and over again cause i would yell if they changed it - and again - i was told i fell forward once and banged my head on the coffee table - probalby lucky i didn't split it open at some point - i don't know when but i guess i just fell over eventually and passed out - i don't remember much of this night after i threw up - but this is what i have been told that happened -

i awoke up still buzzed from the night before at 10:45 - i was not good - and all today i have not been good - i am not sick feeling - but i am not feeling - i have a headache where the pain spot is where i repeatedly banged my head -

downstairs its some stupid "awesome harley nights" festivle where the street is closed off and the motorcycles come in and people dance and sing and drink - i am upstairs in my apartment - trying to ignore the noise - i am going to take a few of my lortabs in a second and try to go to sleep on the couch - downstairs is where he is - but i want him to be up here - i don't think he will write me again tonight or stop over - he says i can't have him anymore and that i should move on with me life - but i can't move on with my life cause he is my life - he is all i want and all i will ever want - nothing compares to him - and i know this at 24 - - - - my life is with him - i'll wait as long as i have to if i need to wait forever then i will - nothing will change how i feel

and i sit here tonight - like last night and the night before it - the previous two months have been long and sad - but i will sit everynight waiting - under the milkyway tonight -

"I GUESS SOME PEOPLE ARE JUST BORN WITH TRAGEDY IN THEIR BLOOD"


erie similarities are abundent sometimes - for one pecular thing happened tonight when i was just watching the movie donnie darko for the first time - as jenna malone's character sits with donnie darko on his parents bed and mutters the quoted line above - my living room was suddenly filled with the flash of lightening as a tramendous bolt came down outside signaling the start of loud clap of thunder and the downpour that followed - and for the first time in a long time - i had shivers running up my body -

"I guess some people are just born with tragedy in their blood." ---- fitting statement for this -

the movie turned out to be everything that i hoped it would be - it was suspenseful but deffinetly made me think about things - about the life and future - can we change things? - can we move throughout time - or in otherwords as people believe - that we are in a finite path that is pre-determined for us by god and religion - are we capable of changing our paths throughout this world? -

i sincerely enjoyed this movie and i will be most deffinetly watching it again and again - this next week shall be a wonderful event -

you all really should visit donnie darko HERE -

A WEEKS WORTH WELL SPENT


i have just finished a weeks worth of work and i seriously need a day off - which is great cause i am getting one tomorrow - a day off well deserved - i put in two extras this week - total of 16 hours - in a different unit - which is a very good thing for me - my kids rattle me enough that i don't need to work anymore in my unit - so i have made some extra cash this week for my trip to chicago - good deal -

also a good deal is that i am going out with "Ch" tonight - i am actually meeting him right after work at a bar in town - i am happy that he is letting me spend some time with him - it should be good fun - i really do miss him so much - i haven't really written a whole hell of a lot about him lately - but i haven't written much of anything lately - i am in part trying to go on with things and let nature take its course - not push things - althought i don't think i am doing a good job at that - but i don't know what else to do - he is all i want anymore - i love spending time with him - he makes me smile and i love being around him - but i guess i just need to let things work out on their own - i can't force something -

but my feelings never change for him - they will always be the same - i love him and want to be with him








 
TODAY'S HOROSCOPE



"You have the sensitivity to pick up on what is going on in every situation you encounter today, dear Cancer. And you are apt to find powerful emotions coming into conflict with extremely strong opinions. Welcome to the battle between the head and the heart! On this day you may be more apt to side with the heart. Realize that this arena is heated and that the forces around you are extremely stubborn."

fuck - this describes everyday in my life - i swear - i don't know what the hell i am doing anymore -

A MODEST IDEA


while driving home today from a week trip to ames - i became very sad - i was thinking about what was going to happen at home this coming week - on friday at 2:30 ish in the morning i believe, a family member died at his own hands - it might not have been as suicidal as it sounds, but it was his own doing and he did cause it - wrecklessness at the hands of a motorcycle - i am sure he didn't mean to do what he did and i am sure that he did not mean to kill himself but what is done is done -

what does this have to do with me now?

well besides the obvious things: family tragedy and needless death - i am saddened because he has left behind a wife and two daughters - one 8 and one 19 - its careless what happened and it didn't need to happen - how it effects me is because on numerous occasions i had decided to play with my life - i always had a sense of what i was doing was wrong and careless - i never got too out of control - but i have found myself in freezing doorways and cowering in dark bathrooms using a small teethed knife to inflict damage upon myself -

too many times i did this - and have since quit - i haven't cut myself in a long time - but do have some scars to show for my stupidity - i guess once in a while you see how stupid some things you do are - i knew it was dumb to do - but today while driving home on a desolet road i realized how dumb i had been - looking at my scars that won't go away - i feel very bad for my cousins having to grow up the rest of thier life without a father - - while listening to the songs on the radio - azure ray turned into modest mouse...."and we'll all float on alright,
already we'll all float on, aliright
don't worry even if things end up a bit to heavy, we'll all float on, alright
already we'll all float on, alright
already we'll all float on, ok
don't worry we'll all float on
even if things get heavy we'll all float on, alright
already we'll all float on, don't you worry we'll all float on"


goodbye
