the voices say 'hello'

Buy love today, put it on sale tomorrow..


I'm so completely exhausted, and yet I can't sleep. I'm in the midst of working 13 days straight, and I'm going on very little sleep at the moment. I kind of don't mind though, even if I'll be so very glad to sleep in on Saturday.
Aside from that though, the new job is coming along just fine, of course I could do without the 12 hour shifts that start at 5:30 am. But that's just me.

By the way, it's Valentine's Day, as I'm sure you've noticed. To be honest, I think the whole thing is pretty lame, and not just because I'm single currently. I swear. It's the 'buy your female companion a diamond to show her how you REALLY feel' commercials drive me up the wall. I could really go off on a tangent on that topic, but I don't have the drive, nor the attention span at the moment. My mind is all sorts of fucked up right now.

Also, apparently I'm going to see Against Me! on March 7th.
I've run out of things to say.

Exit to Nowhere..

one foot in front of the other..

A few days ago, Tuesday I think, some friends of my aunt & uncle came into the shop to say hi. I was the only one there at the time, and they asked if I was my aunt's brother.
Seeing that my aunt is nearing in her early 40s (I think), I chuckled and replied with a "no, not quite, more like nephew."
Here I am thinking I barely look my age (25), I can barely grow facial hair, and am still prone to some acne here and there, but oh well.
Of course, a day or so later, I look in the mirror and see something white on my head. I think and hope that it's just paint in my hair, but no. It was a white hair. My first, thankfully. It was of course yanked out immediately.

It was this final straw that made me to make the decision that this would be the year I finally stopped mooching off my parents, and upped and moved out.

Until now, I feel as though I've been spoiled. I didn't pay for a damn thing up until the end of highschool. My brief college life was paid for as well. Since then the only I've paid for was my transportation, booze and cellphone. No rent, no living expenses, aside from some groceries here and there. And while I truly appreciate it, I feel rather compelled at this point to venture out and be on my own.

I figure it's time I force myself to grow up, at least a little, because otherwise I'll be a full on kid forever.

I currently have both a full and part time job, both of which will feed me free of charge. In addition, I also have what is, to me, a fairly large sum of money saved up in the bank. Those two things would certainly help my goal, one would think.

Anyways, just thought I'd update this thing, not that anyone reads it, but eh.

ps. You know what I hate? When you feel like you're on a roll in something, whatever it may be, and get distracted and totally lose your train of thought.
An example:

Bring your guns
And leave them at the door
Don't forget your cause
Just cause
Just because

It's an arms race
Complete with amputee
Only meant to be seen

Bring your head
Don't forget it at the door
'Cause you're gonna need
Need something
Need an alibi?
