2d / 21h / 34m

Till not having a significant will not matter to me for some time. If you don't know this is the count down till Halo Reach is released, and I cannot be more excited about this, and yes I'll be waiting in line to pick it up at midnight. I'm a big nerd, and I'm confident with this.

Now it's only 2d / 21h / 32m away.
...I might pee a bit.

i may not have handled the situation too well...

But at least I had honest intentions, and stayed true to them. I tried to be civil, I tried to be your friend, but all I got out of any contact made was the recent past thrown back in my face. You can go right ahead and do your own thing, which is obviously what you're doing despite the fact that just about everyone will question your reasoning / motives. But I know what He's done, and I know that you said you couldn't go back to him. Guess that was a lie just to make me feel secure. It's also a bummer that you had to go behind my back to my best friend about buying drugs from him, that makes me fucking sick. It really makes no sense to me as to why you'd even consider this path again, but I truly hope you don't get fucked over again. Have a nice life, not that you'll see this.

I hope you're happy, I'm not.

welp..

...things could be worse right now, but I cant see how they could be. Sucks being ignored, and it sucks having you go back on your word. I'm done with trying to be happy with someone.

Ladies and Gentleman...

open up your eyes and ears..

So I've been going through older music that I have on my Zune and stumbled upon the Four Year Strong album Rise or Die Trying, and it has put me in the strangest mood, one i haven't felt in some time now. So many memories came rushing back to me so fast. Back when I didn't let things bug me and just did what was most fun. Times when I wasn't stressed about money and relationships. A time when I had lots of friends. Now i have very few, but those said few would not be traded for the past if it were remotely possible.

I think it's time for me to start fresh, let go, and live life. Like I did circa 2007. I have no clue as to how to pull this off, but I'm tired of just letting things pass me by because I don't feel like going out. I've missed out on enough already, so why not right?

I think I'll start this new chapter on my Toronto trip in two weeks. Meet new friends, explore unfamiliar places, maybe even get lost just for fun. I'll have to play it by year.

This is the start of a new me.

my new hobby...

Is proving to be much more fun than i anticipated (that hobby being tattooing). I've only done two tattoos to date, one on my thigh and my girlfriend's toes. But those were more of a touch up then an actual piece. Tomorrow I get to do two more after work on my good friends, so I guess I'll post results after all is said and done!

oh hello...

Forgot all about you, dear blog, for this I am sorry.

So what's new? Not a horribly large amount, but at the very least a notable list of happenings.

As of a few weeks ago I worked on / finished artwork for UTKF's website / EP / general uses. They turned out pretty well I think given my lack of digital art skills, and general lack of time. If said artwork gets used anytime soon, I will include it in future posts. (But you should still check out UTKF for updates!)

Last night besides having a good old wobbly time with my close friends at Retro night, and a certain minor reoccurring annoyance, I finally bought my tattoo gear which I'm really excited for. (see image attached below) I'm in no way expecting to make any money or any "cred" from this purchase, I just find the whole thing very interesting. Not to mention the amount of joke tattoos I have in mind for my friends to get! My girlfriend (Leanne) also wants me to do a few small pieces on her once I fully get the feel for the craft, which I think is very special, and will bring us closer in some way or another, if not it'll be a hell of a lot of fun regardless.

Work has been consistently busy which is also good for me and my bank account. I really do like my job but i really do hate having to tuck my shirts in now, stupid safety laws. Our department has been crazy busy as we are getting two brand new manufacturing lines from Germany which is cool because I love to see how things are build and this time I get to take part in it as well.

In other news, I will be going to my good friend Kevin's cottage with old friends from high school in about two weeks time which is always a great weekend away. It'll be nice to get away from everything and just relax with good friends, not to mention cave exploring and paddle boating. Last year we thought it to be a good idea to try to paddle boat from on end of the lake to the other. Needless to say, this was an idea that should have not been put to action. I'm also going to take time out and do a lot of photography while I'm up there just to document the good times.

Also, September 17th needs to come sooner. This is the weekend that Leanne and myself are trekking to Toronto for a weekend with by best friend Ryan to play obscene amounts of Halo: Reach, and i REALLY hope Adam can make it as I have yet to meet him. I know what you're thinking, and yes amateur halo themed tattoos will be done, "In chief we trust." maybe? We shall see.

I don't really have much else to write about, things are just going smoothly and should be for quite some time.

Till next time, stay classy San-Diego!

its been a while...

Almost a full month, I'm not exactly sure why its been so long! I've been pretty swamped at work this past week as i had to take over for someone in shipping/receiving as they were on a weeks vacation. So that kept me busy for the week, ad on top of my normal pay, i also got acting pay for the week so next pay should be huge, which I'm stoked for.

Hopefully with said pay I can finally finish my half sleeve that has been in the works for over a year now, it's taking forever to finish as I spend my money on other things first. But its one sit away so it'll be done soon!

Recently my xbox disk drive died on me making playing games impossible, the solution? Go to Wal-Mart buy a cheap arcade xbox (200$) bring it home and take the insides out and swap them with my broken ones. Then take said xbox back to Wal-Mart for full cash return, leaving me with a fresh new xbox. Thanks in part by my wonderful girlfriend!

Speaking of which, things couldn't be any better at all with her. She bought me Red Dead Redemption, a game I've been longing for for sometime now, just because she wanted to make me happy. Shes more then anyone could ask for to say the least. I'm more then happy, and it's not because she bought me a video game either, shes just perfect for me.

Today is Father's day and im waiting for the delivery man to deliver my dad's gift I ordered for him. So I should go get myself ready for early Father's day BBQ.

Hopefully I will post more often from now on, stay tunned!
