He is Heating up

Going to keep this one short because I don't need to be writting blogs for hours again after I just wrote one about 7 hours ago and I need to start editing videos and do some yard work and cleaning. Last night I had a dream and I remembered it only because its like the 4th time I had that dream. Remembering dreams are crazy. The smallest stimuli can help you remember the dream but without that small push its hard to remember. I read about this sensory deprivation tank in my latest issue of AP and it sounds amazing. Francis Mark, the frontman of the band From Autumn to Ashes, shares his experiences with the deprivation tank and it just sounds like something I want to try. Basically you float in salt water and the water is the same temperature as your skin and there is no light and there is no sound and the air is clean and basically you lay there and feel nothing. What would you think about when there are no influences on you? When even the most constant pressures of gravity are eliminated. I talked about what an uninfluenced person might be like with a couple of friends a while back and we couldn't even imagine what that might be like. What if after being born you were released to learn everything by yourself. No one could influence you, no one could tell you to be liberal or conservative, no one could tell you if there was a god or not, no one could tell you what was wrong or right. Wouldn't this be the only way to figure out what is truly human instincts? There would be no bias in this persons answers. Of course this would never happen, but just imagine it. Anywho, back to my dream. I keep having this dream where I run after a city bus. I often get really close to it and I yell for the driver to stop for just 10 extra seconds so that I could catch up to it and some how I know he hears me but he leaves. I continue chasing it and sometimes I get on the bus, and sometimes I don't. When I get on I never talk to the driver and I never even look. Why? Wouldn't I be pissed he/she made me chase the bus for miles? I get on and I look around and I often see people that I knew in my past but you know when you see people you kind of knew and you know both of you guys remember each other but you kind of ignore each other...its kind of like that. I see people look at me but when I look at them they always look away.

My X-Box 360 broke and my laptop is still broken. I still need to mail both of them in to get fixed. Lately I've been trying a new diet. I call it the metabolism diet. Basically I eat small meals like 5 times a day and I try to get some excercise between meals and hopefully my metabolism burns away all the energy. I haven't lost any weight in the two weeks but I do feel a little bit better and thats what matters to me. Anywho, I promised I would keep this blog short so I am. Breakfast, Gay'mon2, yard work, clean.

Dear Diary, Sorry

I haven't blogged for about a month and that sucks because that means I missed my opportunity to blog my feelings on things and missed chances to blog memories I want to remember but most likely won't since my brian is the equivalent of puny 20 gigabyte harddrive. Not a lot of space when your world revolves around MP3 files and AVI files, I mean my iPod photo is even 30 gigabytes. Anywho, enough bashing on the capacity of my memory. Now time for some random thoughts and hopefully I can catch my blog up on what has been going on in my life.

I've just been living the life ever since summer break started. Go to bed at 2, wake up around 9, go through the morning routine of eating breakfast, getting some exercise in, doing some chores, then hanging out with friends when they are around, check on some things and finish some chores before bed, then doing it all over again. I've got a list of things I need to do and I've only been able to mark off a couple of items. I really need to get my laptop fixed because my life basically is on hold until I can get a functional computer. It is kind of sad how much ones life can be attached to a computer. More frightening then sad. I wonder how mentally ill I would be if computers were wiped off the earth. No more video games, no more movies, no more music, no more communication, no more news. Anywho, my pattern has been all out of wack lately but once I get it back on track I plan to pound out my list of chores. After I'm done with my list of chores, which is made up a lot of cleaning and organizing, I plan on getting some library books and I plan on writing some music. I also need to find a job because I can't run from a jobless life for to long. I question life sometimes and I question where man is historically more because I don't get point of life anymore. Life seems to be so simple, wake up, go to work for most of the day wheter you like it or not, go home for a few hours to eat and say hi to your family then go to work after a couple hours of sleep. During what part of the day are we allowed to be human beings? When are we able to sit around and absorb our surroundings and think about life. Sometimes I don't think I was meant to live during this period of mans history. I hear stories about what heaven might be like if there is a heaven. I don't know if I heard correctly or if my 20 gigabyte brain is failing me but it sounded like heaven is a place without toil. A place where we aren't forced to do what we don't want to do just to get by. Now that sounds like...well, heaven. If I were to go to heaven, I would just sit around all day under a tree with my iPod and watch people float around or whatever. I would just sit there and let my senses just do their things. This is if Christianity is the real deal and not just a big hoax and on top of that I don't think my agnostic views will earn me a seat under that tree. Oh well, maybe I deserve to burn in hell for a little while. And why do we have to burn in hell, why can't we just chill there? Is Satan such a bad guy that he only pulls us to hell to torture us? He must want us there for something. If the afterlife is just as confusing as the life I live right now, I quit. Please remove any cognitive ability I have because I don't want to be able to think for myself. I have ignorant friends, and sometimes I see the problems they face and it all just seems so elementary. I say that, but then here I go again and I think myself crazy telling myself maybe I am the stupid one. They all have their life figured out, maybe I suck at life. I think I havee a problem of doubting myself and looking at things from to many angles, sometimes I am to open minded. Lately I've been telling myself I've been going crazy and it really feels like it. What normal person thinks the way I do? Who cares that modern civilization is fast paced and mechanical? There seems to be a couple billion people who don't mind it. They may not like the condition of life, but they are able to accept it. Why can't I accept it? Is it because I am crazy? Again, I sometimes just don't get the point of life sometimes. I also think that I am very lonely. No one really understands me. I feel stupid when I write things like that because isn't that what teenage girls write in their pink Bratz journals? Sometimes I feel like I get less and less mature as I age. When I was in highschool, I talked about things adults talked about, and now that I am in college, I write about emotions teenage girls feel. Am I philisophical or retarted or just a little bitch? Or again, crazy? One of my biggest fears is being alone and right now I am very alone. It seems like I can't find happiness is a hard thing to find. Harder then happiness, loyalty. I could explain my viewpoint again on loaylty, but that would be a waste of time, my views on loyalty will forever be different when compared to everyone elses. And that makes my definition of loyalty wrong right? Because my definition doesn't seem to match the majorities? I never understood this majority rules concept. So if the majority is wrong but a majority favor something, that makes it right? Confusing. Do people not have human intuition anymore? Maybe this is why people can accept a mechanical life? I feel like I still use my human abilities once in a while. I base things off feeling and not always what I'm told and what the stats say. The human spirit is a powerful tool, use it sometimes. Maybe this is why I feel alone, because I am the only fully functional human being in my life. I walk alone in the sea of warm blooded, walking, talking robots. Maybe I'm not as modest as I think I am. It appears that I am putting myself above everyone, but at the same time, I put my self below everyone because I am not part of the majority and it is unhealthy to be crazy, correct? I like to think that I am a humble human being. I think part of that has to do with that through out my life, I have always been told that I can't do this or that because of some limitation I have. Lately I have been trying to tell myself that I can do this or that, and that I am just being to humble. I don't know. I just confuse myself when I talk about things like this. Lately I only feel truly happy around a couple of people. My friend Jon seems to always be there and although we joke about his ignorant nature, he really is one of the brighter people I know. We all joke about it and make fun of his "innocence" more then others but thats only because he accepts that he sometimes isn't the most aware person. I have a couple of friends who seem like the will never come to understand that they are not as good as they make them selves out to be. Last night I was very annoyed by a friends self boasting. He has a history of being cocky but still, I just can't be around that all night. I give credit where credit is due, but he refused to accept that he really is bad at what he was doing. I am really excited for Jon to get done with school so I can be around him a little more. I am hoping to spend a lot of time with him this summer because I really won't see him when school comes back around. He plans of working full time at his Dads place but hopefully he will make some time for me. Again, its not up to me, my loyalty will always be there. I've come to understand that since I will always be there, I will leave the choice to the other party. I think the departure of Jon will have great consequences for our group of friends. I think after this summer, only people who want to remain in the group will remain and everyone else will move on to "better" things. It seems very easy for people to let go of things and move on to the next thing that is offered. This fear makes me want to move in with Dean and Mitch this fall because I really do value people. I think he lets me, Jon and I will be friends for a long time. This means that people closely affiliated with Jon will also be allowed to join us for the ride. Dean will most likely be there, but I can see him switching parties because of a better offer. I can see A-Christ being there. I can even see Mitch and maybe even Ben Lee being there in my future. Other then that, this may be the last summer with many of my other friends. I will try to enjoy it while it lasts, but it is hard for me to invest in something I know won't be there for me in the future. Greedy? Maybe so, but I've given a lot already. Along with Jon, the revival of my friend A-Christ (Andy Christenson) has been very refreshing. We went through a tough time and my stubborn nature didn't help. But again, I feel like I had no wrong doing in our bout (Sounds like I think I am always right haha). I still may right about our history some day. But it seems like during our time away from each other, he was allowed to do some soul searching, some real human searching. I appreacite that he still acts like a human being. Lastly, spending time with my old friend Ben Lee has been refreshing. I didn't think I would see him much this summer because I really thought he had moved on the "better" things. And the summer is young, maybe I won't see him for the rest of summer, its up to him, but I appreciate the last couple of meetings with him. On Saturday I think it was, I got to sit with him one on one at Peter's party and we just sat there and played music. I felt alive I guess. I've never done drugs before, and please don't laugh at this next statement haha, but I guess I felt high almost (Such a stupid comment haha). I felt tired, but awake, I felt like I wasn't thinking, but I was. A very euphoric feeling I guess. I wish we could have spent the rest of the night like that, but Megan McDounough (how ever you spell that crazy ass last name) came over and it kind of snapped me out of what ever state I was in. But it was okay, we had a fun conversation. I never realized, but in a public setting, Ben and I make a nice little team. We put on this half retared act and I don't know why. Maybe I desire some attention or something. Maybe I search for love. Maybe I'm crazy.

I just woke up from a mean nap about an hour ago (1 am) and that is not good because now I'll probably go to sleep at like 4 am and wake up around noon. The next few chores I need to do are help my parents with the landscaping and clean my room. I want to adjust my clothes so my closet is summer ready. I have a lot of long sleeves and coats hanging right now. Summer attire is so boring compared to winter attire because you don't get to layer and have fun. But I hate being hot and Minnesota humidity is horrible so I guess I have to live with it. After all that I will probably try my luck with some music and edit Gay'mon 2: Gay'me on. Lately I've been trying to learn more about my singing voice and I've come to realize I really suck at singing haha. Screaming I fair okay, but when it comes to singing I suck. I have no strength in my voice and when I try to sing composed its often nasally and it sounds like I'm flat a lot of the time. Maybe I need to borrow a book on singing. I wish I had the talent to sing, because then I could make a living off doing something I really love, Creating. Creating art that makes people feel.

Anywho, I'll probably start editing Gay'mon2 after I end this blog. I will try to make blogging and regular thing and I hope to finish my zombie blogs as well.
