1209





i'm about to sign a lease with my friend/roommate for a year, we have been living together for about 6 months, but the landlord finally got around to asking us about a lease. I'm in process of making up a contract for james, for my own rules and procedures, and decided to share. I think there fair, i am kinda weird to live with.

1) no mom jokes.
2) no making fun of comet, he's needy and will need your love as well.
3) don't talk shit about the girls i bring home
4) close the bathroom curtain after taking a shower.
5) eradicate soap scum at all times.
6) since we are both gemini moody fucker's who love to argue, never leave the house mad.

Monorchchid - Distortion b/w Babies, Impostor Costume With Rooted Hair Mask, and When The Mutes Begin To Root 7 "s





fast rock and role punk with interesting guitar playing, also snotty vocals. that sounds cheesy but it's not, i kinda hate the whole rock punk genre, but this band ruled...

dead horse


tattoo by zach nelligan

so i recently noticed i create dead horses in my life, it's impossible to avoid, i get in a strut and i ride it until it's dead, even though my happiness is jeopardized. i never learn or benefit from straddling the beast, i just continue to ride, till it's dead... This happens in all aspects of my life; jobs, relationships with woman, and even in mindless things such as what i choose to eat. at this very moment i'm straddling a dead horse (my job), i hate it, but it's comfortable, it pays the bills, i even work from home, but my happiness is jeopardized. i hate it so much i even sing little jingles on how much i hate it, is this normal ?? do all people do this ? i love to bitch, my job isn't hard, not threatening, it's just sucking my soul. at times i feel like a douche thinking about my unhappiness, while so many are unfortunate and wishing to be in the same position, but fuck em, this is my dead horse and i need to dismount.

david byrne Lead Us Not Into Temptatio soundtrack

it's moody and it's dark in many places, and bizarrely upbeat in others. the song speechless is incredible
