Gotta Love Honesty
So, I'm here, at home, it's only 11 o'clock at night, and I'm beginning to get tired. But, as I dwindle down and calm down, I can't help but wonder why human being can be so brutal sometimes. I'm sick of games, and I'm sick of the emotional roller-coasters people love to put you on, I mean, what did I ever do to deserve such a thing?
What seems to be a common theme in human behavior is emotion, I mean, shit, we are all beings of emotion. What I don't like about emotion is that it can cause pain. Although pain can be a good thing, in a non-hedonistic manner, (reminding us of being human, teaching us life-lessons, etc...), it sucks terribly. I'm tired of pain, I'm tired of enduring shit for someone who can't have the decency to not cause the pain. It's just so unnecessary sometimes, and quite frankly, I don't want to have anything to do with it. Humans are so complex...PEOPLE are so complex. What the hell is it to one person as to why I feel a certain way sometimes. Why can't people just accept each other for who they are??? It doesn't make sense to me. Constantly I'm having to pretend like I'm not affected by so many things that really do affect me, just so another person isn't offended, or turn around and get mad at me. There's so much to not understand, and not enough time to really get it all down.
Time won't slow down, it never will, and it is constantly testing me and pushing me to the limits. It's that damn constant race...

New Band
So, I'm sitting here in class, (yes...I'm still in college), and I realized I haven't posted anything in forever! Well, there have been a couple of new developments in my life!
First off, I joined/created a new band!!! We are called ONE 2ND. We play out a couple of times a month. It's awesome. We are currently only a trio, but are waiting for the right bass player to come along and join up. So far it's a drummer, guitar/vocals, and keys/vocals. We create sounds that we couldn't imagine alone. The band consists of Me, Sean McGrath, and Joey Marlow. I've known Sean all through high school, and we even played together our senior year in a band for our senior recognition assembly. We wrote our own song. Joey I met around my freshman year of college out at a coffee shop. I actually was scheduled to play before him, and as I was playing, he started talking to my mother, asking if I was in a band, and all that jazz...well, we ended up talking after I was done playing, and after that, we got together and played a couple of shows at this coffee shop. Come two years later, Sean and I got back into contact, and we decided to give this band thing another shot. Well, I mentioned Joey on keys, and he agreed to give it a shot. Our first band practice was jaw-dropping for us...after playing a Maroon 5 cover song, we looked at each other, and all realized that we have something special here, and that we NEED to pursue this music career. We all get along very well musically, and in general. We are friends outside of the band as well...so, that helps too. Joey is the keyboard/vocals, Sean is the drums/percussion, and I'm, of course, the guitar/vocals. It's awesome! We love what we are doing, and we write our own stuff, as well as some cover songs, and they've added their two cents to the songs I've written in which we play as well!!! We plan to continue to spread our passion to the world...so watch out!
Secondly, and lastly, I'm in a relationship now that has lasted 15 months. That's incredible to me. I've never lasted that long with a significant other. But she's more than a significant other, she's my best friend. I've known her since high school. She's the most beautiful, amazing human being I know. I couldn't ask for a better person to share my life with, and I plan to share the rest of my life with her!!!
Well, that's all I've got! I hope you are all having an excellent life, and I will keep you all posted!
