AN IMPASS

so i guess i know what needs to be done now. during a talk i had this morning with the man we got down to the nitty gritty on a few things. he told me what he is worried about. why we can't be togeather because of certian reasons. - - - -

and i understand these reasons. they are all valid reasons and they all make perfect sense.

what sucks is that i have done this to myself. to think that we could be together right now and not have had any problems if i could behave is staggering to myself. it makes me think. god i really am a disaster sometimes. who much crap did i bring with me all the time we go out. i was really out of control all the time. no wonder he doesn't want to go ot with me.

--

i guess this is stupid of me too. i am smarter then this. i am smarter then to get all freaked out by what could happen if we go out. i am smarter then to make an ass out of myself. i guess i don't know why i do that. well i do have one main reason why i do that...

alcohol.

yeah. when i get drunk...i get nuts. always have been always will be. so i guess there is a easy solution to fixing that problem. not get drunk. now there is a difference between drinking and getting drunk. i am going to stop getting drunk. like way out plastered, not knowing my name kinda drunk. its ok to get a little buzzed, i'm fine with that. its only when i get ripped that i get nuts. and i have already been doing that. since that night in july, i hvae realized that alcohol+me=crazy - thats a no brainer - everone knows this now. i am so sure that everyone knows this. so what am i to do about all of this. fix my problems. lying and drinking excessively to the point of crazy - be more consistent and work to repair the damage i've caused.

is that possible?

yes i believe it is. but it's gonna take determination and work. being honest with myself and him. but he deserves it. and i will work and try my hardest to give it to him.

YOUR LOVE IS GONNA DROWN


as a matter of fact....it might.

but enough about all that shit. i've delt with that enough over the last few years that i think i am finally done with love and all that mushy feely crap - it doesn't exist. period.


except for maybe in movies with actors who don't really care for one another and maybe in places where people are blind, dumb and quadraplageics - (i know that spellign was wrong) but seriously now - lets look at society and the nature of beings on a whole and the one tihng that holds us back on every plane - FEELINGS

- feelings are only things that get in the way of us seeing our true humanistic potential - without them we could be a race of super beings able to do whatever we want - everythign would be done MOST EFFICENT and to the proper applications - we would't be worrying about 'oh does he like me' 'i feel so sad today' 'i can't believe its over' and tall that other inane bullshit that makes us different the chimps -

or maybe that's the perfect life? eat, sleep, poop, fuck - the only thing that can get in the way of that is death -

is the animal kingdom right? - well since i am from the darwinistic appraoch and believe in the idea of evolution (yes we did evolve from paramecium in sespools) at one point in time we WERE animals - do animals have feelings? - well some people would say yes, and some people would say no. - but yea i do think that animals do have feelings - sad, happy, angry - but to the extent that humans have? probably not and they are probably better off that way - i can't imagine a dog ever sitting around thinking, 'god i hope that man of mine isn't out sleeping around' or 'i'm such a wreck without him i am going to die' - animals just dont' have the capabilities to do such thining - and are they better off for taht reason? - you're damn right they are. - not havig to worry about your lover - not waiting up tihnking about them - sitting around watching them out with other people - they have it so easy - they jsut need food and so water - curse! -

animals only have sex for the purpose of procreation - just like the bible says i think - i'm not sure, but i remember that some religions only say that you should have sex to procreate, everythign else is a sin - well animals just have sex to procreate - they don't get all messed up in feelings and thinking - sex is ot make more babies and that is it - no other reason - yet we as humans use to for fun -

here we go and take one of the most powerful actions we can do with another person and make it into something fun and enjoyable - curse! - the reason it is enjoyable is so we will WANT to procreate - not so that we will go around the bar at 1 a.m. looking for the next peice of ass because we don't want to go home and jerk off alone - or sit around for hours on the internet and look for some hot other to bring over to the apt to get off - its changed - procreation is the reason we are to have sex, no other reason -

here i was all messed up for the longest time - thinking that i wanted to have sex cause it was fun and enjoyable, but all the while i was confused cause sex is just for procreation - unless i intend to make a baby when i have sex i should not be having sex! - right?

yeah that will happen

it just goes to show that sex is really not needed unless you want to be plagued by feelings of desperation and sorrow when the sex is no longer there -




This post was brought to you by some insane lunatic, a three day headache, starvation to lose weight, desperation and sadness (see above for explanation), and the consistent repeat of death cab for cuties 'plans' album - (its really very good!!!)

NEW LOWS


the odds are stacked against me.

really they are. in some discussion i had with my mother over my vacation she was pointing out and telling me about the hospital where my great grandfather stayed briefly when he had his nervous break down. apparently bad enough that he needed to be hospitalized for about a month, and that was in the 1920's.

which then lead into a discussion on who all in my family has had breakdowns. apparently there are enough to have a discussion about. my great grandfather on my mothers side, my grandmother, great uncle and aunt and uncle on my fathers side. all had break downs bad enough to warrent hospitalization. who will it be next.

i guess this just started me thinking about how i have been feeling the last month. anxiety, depressed, worthlessness. a nice mix of emotions at any point in time. enough so i am thinking about asking my therapist if i should get on effexor.

but ultimatly i know i can pull out of this. just like usual. i will be fine in two to four weeks. it will run its course and everything will be better. everything will be better.

eventually.

everythings gonna be ok.

THE CONTINUAL SELF DEPRAVATION FROM SEX


so i've decided that i am going to become celebit. i was thinking about it today while my co-worker was going on and on about their messed up relationship. about how they wrote a letter to their boyfriend (its a straight relationship) saying that they are not going well and right. problems with talking and no affection and it was just crap. love sucks. and so do the means by which people use love. you only get hurt in the end......so whats the point really?


i have decided to give up sex. completely. for some amount of time i have yet to decided. i don't need it. i need to focus on my school work and other things. it's only a disctaction. and besides....you cant really have sex if the person you want to have it with refuses to see you. (yeah thats kinda a necessary)

so maybe its for the best if i just stop all togeather. focus on myself. thats whats important. getting back to positive, making myself feel better and just working. keeping myself occupied and just doing what i need to do. in the meantime, everything will just turn out fine. things will get better eventually. just from where i am at now, it doesn't look like it.




listening to a lot of belle and sebastians "push bar man to open old wounds" now

HOW TO PLAN YOUR BROKEN HEART


well for the most part it has been one hell of a summer. and there is still about a month left to go. while there were some good things and some bad things, i guess i was overwhelmed by the few things that really came out at me from which i didn't think they would.
i have been sitting around in my apartment for the past three weeks. give or take the time i go to work or spend at my parents. i took a weekend to ames and had some fun with jennifer and her boyfriend josh. the more i get to know him the more i like him - which is great. it pleases me to know that jennifer is taken care of. so many times i was there, i drove her to the hospital, i drove her back home, i stayed with her in the er, the icu, the waiting rooms. all the places, and i worried when i left. but she is with good people now. he will take care of her. he has it in his eyes.
along those same lines, mine is gone. while i speak of the one jennifer has found, i have lost the one i had. or partially had, or maybe even never had at all. all from a night i don't remember. which is what makes me hate myself the most. you know if you do something to make someone mad, you can always look back at it and say, "well this is where i fucked up" - i am not awarded that luxury. i don't know what i did to entice his wraith. but it has since come at me full force. we have been like this before? it was asked to me by some friends......yes i said. we have been here before. we have passed through it before. but no more analyzing. no more thinking i know what he wants. its time for him to put his big boy deciding hat on and make up a decision for the rest of his life. and it is equally sad for that reason alone, he won't make up his mind. i wait -
school will start again, and dead leaves will fall into my favorite season of the year. its the most beautiful and trainquil of all the season. cool breezes, brushling of the leaves, the smell of harvest. fall is the time of the year. and school comes around the bend, a deadaway sprint to winter i am sure....with its overkill of living life. and then the decisions of schools and universities. a decision indeed.

REALITY IS FOR CHUMPS


so i have decided after vegging out for sometime now and watching nothing but tv that i want - no - i completely desire to live in a Target add - they seem so completely innocent and peaceful - dancing models - ingenious furnature - gadgets aloof all over the place give the world this sort of happy image as a friendly no work, no hostility society - everyone walks around in mizrahi and lives in oldman designed houses - which wouldn't be that bad at all -

the music compliments the clean cut visuals - the sweeping bass and drum with the keyboard chord progression stress while the airy carefree sounding vocals make it seem as if the singer just happens to be walking along whispering the words as she peers through the splended finds at target -

i want to live in a Target add - i want to be in that white washed world with visuals and audio galore - mmmmm...... -

A NEW WORLD - A NEW BEGINNING


it comes a time in everyones life when they need to make decisions and do something new - to many these decisions are changes that they make to better themselves or the world around themselves -



Change (v): To become different, make something or somebody different.
(v): To pass or make something pass from one state or stage to another.


so now it comes time for me to look at my life and see what i think should happen - life is all about change and i think i have come upon a time when i might need to change what i think, act, do -

i believe its come a time to change for something i want

time to try to make myself happy again -

the possibilities

are their any?

SLEEP EASIER


i couldn't sleep last night - i was up for a while just rolling around in bed - thinking about things that i should not be thinking about - trying to work out my life - it continues to be in a state of dissaray -

i turned my tv back on around 11:30 and watched some venture brothers on cartoon network - i was still restless and decided to play some gameboy - i played some final fantasy tactics and tried to get some things off my mind - i felt tired and my eyes were getting heavy so i shut it off and laid back down - i tried to sleep - i tried to lay still - get comfortable - but i couldn't seem to find what i needed to sleep well - don't know if i will know -

too many things are going on with my life now for me to sleep well -

WHAT DO I NEED?


do i really need a boyfriend to be happy?


do i really need to have someone with me all the time in order to be happy?


i was never like this before and i don't think that i am like this - but i guess if its evident to other people so much that they are noticing it and comenting on it then i am - and i can't argue that -


but what the hell do i do now


knowing this is there anything i can do?



this is who i am i guess - i can't go around changing every little part of me to please everyone - i guess if they don't like ti then i can't do anything about it


i have to be who i am


but i DON'T think i have ever been or am the type to NEED to have a boyfriend


there is a difference between NEED and WANT -

CUT ME UP


i arrived to the hospital at 6:30 in the morning - talked to a few very nice nurses and put on my little open assed robe and before listening to some "iron and wine" - while it was still a hospitle i didn't feel so bad - usually i am scared to death of hospitals - i sw my grandpa, great greandma die and alomst a new death experience with my best friend -
i hate hospitals -
but i was rather comfortable this past week - i didn't know what to say or think - i'd had this procedure done before - twice on my other leg - but i felt ok - i wasn't overly freaked out or worried about anything - more or less i just wanted to get it done - so stuck me with the needles - i cringed - they gave me the drugs - and i can remember them wheelin me around the hospital - towards the operating room - i was half in and half out of it - they gave me the gas and that was all she wrote - next thing i remember is scarfin down some toast in the recovery room - the nurse i had seemed to want to get me out of there - she was very pushy - anyway - we didn't like the feeling she gave us at all - so we finally got ready to go and we left - i was completely fucked up -

i don't really remember gettin into my apt or walkin the stairs or anything - but i guess my parents got me home and into my bed - i slept the rest of the day in some drugged induced coma - now its late in the morning - i'm a little more with it now - but still messed up - we'll see what the rest of the week as to bring -

TODAY: A WAITING LINE

TOMORROW: THE CUTTING ROOM



 
THE LAST STANCE


i went out for new years to go see a hockey game and then go out to the bars - i had a great time - really enjoyed myself - i got drunk for the first time in a long time -

we went to see the muskies play - which the lost - i've decided that since every game i go to they lose i need to stop going to games - we drove around after that and went to a few different bars to have some drinks - we picked up a friend from work at 11 and then we met him later at a bar in town - we all got drunk and had fun - i got no kiss for new years - so last year was a fluke then for new years kisses - well actually i had someone to kiss but he wasn't interested in kissing me back -

well the night after i went out again with another friend - we started drinking at home before we went out due to the ice storm that hit - we finally got out to the bars at 12:30 and made the most of it by closing it down and going to after hours to finish the evening off - we got home at 5:30 and had a great time - unfortunatly we missed brunch that morning at 11 - oh well i guess -


but i think i learned something about myself that night - that maybe i have been holding on to something that i shouldn't have been for a long time - you can't force something that isn't working - like the square peg / round hole - it just doesn't fit - so i have to stop trying to make it work - - - of course i am speakin of the relationship i have been talkin about on this page for the past - oh i don't know - forever - but i have decided for the last time to finally give up on it - i have to quit - i can't keep trying to make it work if i am the only one interested - after a weekend of seeing things - how i act and how people act and how the world works - i realize that i need to stop - this is the final act - the way its ends - in order to keep something alive of us - i need to stop - so its done -
