The Darkness//Get Your Hands Off My Woman |
] |
So it's seven forty in the morning.
I haven't slept yet.
We're supposed to be leaving to breakfast soon, but my brother isn't awake yet. Haha.
My plans for next weekend are basically ruined. With my SATs next Saturday, that rules out the oh-so-perfect weekend a few of us hand planned. For me anyway. I'm sorry guys. =(
I've gained weight. I need to start running again. And that needs to start right now.
I'm glad a few people (including Luly) approve my new found interest. ;]

So livejournal is back up & running.
Yay for us addicts.
Going to Quench tomorrow with everyone from work. Should be crazy.
Next two months are going to be crazy with all the shows I'm going to. Some of the bands I'm seeing: Unearth, Norma Jean, Lamb of God, Misery Signals, The Bled, Bury Your Dead & Walls of Jericho. Amen.
I'd go to the Eighteen Visions show this coming Saturday, but, I have more important plans to attend to with some special friends of mine. Holla. Those of you involved know what I'm talking about. Hopefully the weekend turns out to be the weekend of all weekends.
The Pittsburgh/NY game is in overtime right now. It's a kick ass game. The playoffs bring out the best in teams.
Out.

…and so it begins once again. Not much has changed since the last real acknowledgement of thought has occurred. Minor differences have become thorns in the sides of friendships & they are no longer living. Bodies have been laid to rest, while others are still trying to find the strength to continue the battle for truth. Realizations have come & gone, the meaning of the term is all but dead now. Truth has become such a catch-phrase, that it becomes stretched to the point where there is no actual truth in any words being said.
Battles have been fought. Both victories & defeats have occurred, emotionally & physically alike. No longer is the rose colored hue visible. Its tainted ways have long disappeared into another lifetime, creating a truer sense of reality. At times it seemed as though self-loathing was the only option available, until the head hit the ground. The sleep allowed for many thoughts to be written in stone & called for new life. The mind is a powerful thing & shall not be held down. Battles have been put aside for the better, no longer a constant threat. Over & done with, new friendships were forged & new paths discovered. A new way of life has thusly been created.
Wonders & wants often fill the mind. Who is to trust? Who is to accept into life? Who speaks of truth? Who are those that forge the lies that destroy minds? Questions are often asked & never answered. It came as lightning hitting the ground the harsh reality of it all. Nothing is what it seems, for at one moment the world can & will be perfect for one, yet at that same moment be a complete travesty to another. Who is to say that the world is unfair? Who is to say obstacles are come across for the sole reason of bettering? Sleepless nights with insomnia sneaking in, the mind is often in a constant race to find answers that will never be found. Yet, the mind still races, continuing on the never ending race that is the search for Truth.
A need has come across the path of the once fallen soldier. A need not in the form of the physical realm. Rather, it is one for the bettering, one for knowledge. A crossroads of sorts has been reached. To the right leads a path of solitude, a path of self loathing & constant wonders of “what could have been.” To the left leads a path of obstacles, filled with rests & enjoyment. Where these paths lead is of the unknown, however, the mind must make a decision. How is it known if the choice that has been made is the correct one? Answers in the form of lies & truth both come in due time. It is now a waiting game. Does the mind speak out or stay silent, left in wonder? Tick tock.

Being part of a street team has its benefits. I find out about a lot of shit.
I just found out Eighteen Visions will be playing Ft. Lauderdale on January 22 with Misery Signals, Remembering Never & Emery.
The closest It Dies Today comes to being down here in Miami is Orlando on the 17th of Febuary. Sucks.
The Walls of Jericho & Bury Your Dead show is still on for the 30th of this month.

Man, I love when fans are brutally honest.
The halftime show for FedEx Orange Bowl National Championship (USC v. Oklahoma) was horrible.
The best part about it?
Hearing the fans boo the fuck out of Ashlee Simpson. That's what she gets for sucking ass not only on records, but live as well. It was such a horrible performance. Kelly Clarkson, the opening act, had technical difficulties & her mic wasn't working. I felt bad. The second act was some country singer who was there, I'm assuming, for the support of Oklahoma. Poor Ashlee Simpson. Better yet, no, dumb bitch Ashlee Simpson. She got what she deserved from a shit load of honesty.
Boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

It Dies Today//The Radiance |
] |
It’s basically the end of the year 2004. Do I do a recap? No, that would take me forever. Most people write down their memories from the year, but I have too many. There are so many things that have happened to me within the year that it’d be next to impossible to get everything down without boring someone. I’ve learned so many things from many different people this year. I can only express my thanks in so many different ways. So many people have touched my life in one way or another. Some positive & some negative. Hopefully everything I have gone through this year just makes me a better person for the upcoming year. I am hoping that what I do with this next year of my life is the best one I have so far in my now eighteen years of existence.
I have great friends. Without them I’d be nowhere. With them, I’ve become so much stronger because of their support, no matter how much I say I can handle things on my own. You guys showed me the love I always thought friends should give. And I can honestly say I have the best friends I’ve ever had in my life. Maybe it’s because I’m older & I realize these things, but, I understand a lot more because of my friends. I understand a lot more these days & it’s because of you guys. Thank you.
I dealt with a LOT in 2004, more so than I’ve ever dealt with in my life. I guess that’s a part of getting older with each day. Whether it be with JROTC & all that drama, the now infamous case of mono that I had, or the ever continuing saga with Angie, everything continues. While most things have settled down, new things are beginning to brew. I’ve met some amazing people in the later stages of 2004, people whom I wish I could have met earlier. They know exactly who they are.
I’m not going to sit here & say that I didn’t make any mistakes this year. I’ve made plenty. I’ve lost some friends (whether the reason was legit or not doesn’t matter), got into plenty of emotional roller coasters & I know I’ve fucked up more than once. While I could go on & list the people I’ve fucked up with, that’d be pointless. I do, however, want to clean the slate with someone. With this coming year, I want to start anew with this person.
A N G I E.
There are two things I know for a fact right now, one being that I’ve never been through so much with someone who wasn’t in my family before. There was a lot of stuff the both of us went through this year, whether it be individually with our families (or completely solo), or when we were together. Which brings me to the other thing I know, I’ve never trusted someone before the way I trusted you. I’m not going to get into anything mushy, because there’s no point to that. There is a point, however, that I want to make. Things happen & that’s fine. But what’s not fine is being on the bad side of someone you know cares about you, regardless of whether yer talking to that person or not at the moment. What happened was the right thing to do at the moment & now, at least from the looks of it, we’re actually able to talk to each other again, which is great. This isn’t about a personal vendetta, or a hate thing, or anything like that. It’s not even me being mad. It’s about doing something that’s right. And that’s cleaning the slate. I want you to know I’m sorry for the things that happened, but I also want you to know that that’s in the past now. This coming year I want to start fresh. I don’t want there to be some pent up aggression anywhere between when the New Year hits. I want to know that things are okay between the two of us. So this is my apology for what has happened. This is my attempt at squashing whatever problems there was & to start clean. Whenever it is you do read this, know that you will be getting a call from me when it officially becomes the New Year.
There’s actually another person I want say something to. I don’t know how she’s going to read it, but I’m hoping somehow she does.
J E S S.
Like you wrote on the card you gave me for Christmas, we’ve been through a hell of a lot in the short times we’ve been friends. Most people who would have stopped being friends after that whole big incident went down, but somehow we didn’t. And I want to thank you for that. I want you to know that I really don’t want any animosity to be there in our friendship. I want you to know (more so than before), that I’m open to whatever it is you have to say. I don’t want there to be some kink in our friendship where it prohibits us from communicating with one another when there’s obviously something wrong. I want you to know that I’m going to put that behind me (what happened) when the New Year hits. I’m trying not to let such negative things affect me, but that can’t be done unless I know you agree with me in putting it behind us. I’ve met some amazing people since you & I have started hanging & I honestly don’t want something like what happened to stop anything. Things happen & it’s how we deal with them that make us. I’m hoping this coming year can allow our friendship to grow more than it has in the short time we’ve been friends.
L I A.
I don’t even know how you put up with me, to tell you the truth. Haha. We’ve clashed a few times this year, whether it be for minor or major things. We’ve stayed close, which is awesome. I know I can seem like a real dick sometimes, but that’s just the way I am & I honestly hope you’ve accepted that by now. If you haven’t yet, yer stuck. Ha. I hope you realize I’m only trying to help you when I get the way I do when it comes to certain things. I know most people say to let people learn on there own, but sometimes that isn’t the best way to learn. I’ve realized that. And I hope you can understand that I’m just trying to protect you from things I know I can stop from happening. There’s certain things I just don’t want you to go through. And while getting hurt is inevitable, if I can prevent some huge catastrophe from happening, I will. You’re the sister I never had & you know I’m only trying to help you. I love you, Lia.
To the rest who have impacted me in 2004.
My mom, my dad, Ed, Alex, Joel, Llaca, Tony, Steph, Jose, Sooz-E, Erica, Gus, Nikki, Luly, Ashley (both of them), Jenny (both of them), Motta, Ailyn, Yessenia, Val, Paula, Nat, Mela, Giselle, Jessie, Melissa, Eddie, Alex, Zenel, Raul, Ana, Flipper, Carlos, Vanessa, Elisa, Joey, Enzo, Billy, Telly, Jenise, Sori, Rey, Claudia & to everyone else…
Thank you.
May 2005 bring the best out in you.

Throwdown//Forever |

I had one of those mini catch-up sessions with someone I didn't expect to talk to in a very long time today. It was nice. Even better to know that neither side wants to have anything heated.
Chilled with Alex for a bit. Ran through a few missions in Halo2 with him. Dope stuff.
Went to Lia's party. Had a weird time. Talked to a few people. Saw some weird shit & was involved in it, too. Let's say certain people should NOT have alcohol. Lia, you know EXACTLY who I'm talking about. A few people danced, that was about it.
Alex picked me up with his mom from Lia's party. Went to go catch Meet The Fockers, which is fucking HILARIOUS. Anyone who has said it sucked, or that it wasn't as good as the first is dumb. Period.
Special shout out to Yessenia. It's her birthday (as of midnight) today. Holla. Happy Birthday, homie. =)
