House of Thrash

... Haven't had much time to post or even remember LJ for that matter. Work has been crazy busy but I think after six years I will be retiring from Oberlin. I will miss working with J Lo more then anything but I still see him from time to time. I'm making all right money anyways at my one job and I figured I will want to spend as much time with my daughter and wife as possible.

I so can not wait to be a dad. Our room is filled to the brim with baby stuff. We have all kinds of cute little dresses. It's going to be awesome. Last Thursday was our first and hopefully last time to the hospital before the baby is born. Kayla was having time able contractions and was given these shots to stop her from going into labor. The baby has about 6 more weeks to cook. But she wants out. So far she is 5lbs. 6oz. I was upset because they wouldn't let me in the room to see the ultra sound, some policy thing.

So married life is really no different then before. Me and Kayla also decided we are not having another wedding. This one was good enough and we don't really want to waste more money and have a big old fashion one so.

Go Browns!

Later

... So if I spell something wrong bare with me *cough* Cody ;). Anyways I haven't posted in a while, not as long as jesse but that's besides the point. Figured if you didn't know what is going on in my life heres a good chance to find out. I got a new job. It's pretty sweet though the hours kind of suck. I'm still working at Oberlin as well which is making for some mad money. But I bought a new Explorer or "the family car" so I need it. At some points in the week I am working doubles and days I have to leave in the morning and not return till night time. I'm young though I can do it. My new job is at Amherst hospital too if I neglected to mention. It's got some good benefits. Which is why I'm posting this fast. Because I have an eye doctor appointment today. The pregnancy is going good. I'm really excited now. We've been picking up a few things here and there but are really waiting till the baby shower. Tomorrow we find out what we are having and hopefully its a girl!!

This is for you Josh since I couldnt add a comment to your page.

You know you shouldnt get pissed at Jason at all. If hes happy with his girlfriend then hes doing alright even if you dont like her. He is happy to because why would he still be with her. He just bitches a l0t cause thats Jason. And even though it seems really fucked up cause there always mad and beating each other up maybe it works for them.

You shouldnt get mad at your friends who want to spend time with their girlfriends or potential lady friends either. You know that when you get into a relationship you spend time with your girlfriend more then you did with your friends. It happends to everybody, even you. I remember somebody who missed judas priest to go to a school dance. But you were committed and that takes balls to miss a favorite band to support somebody that you loved, Im not dogging you.

This whole Im not going to get a girlfriend and Im not having friends is bullshit. Just cause you go through some crappy times doesnt mean it will always be like that. I went 8 months before I meet Kayla. I didnt really try to date that much but I messaged a few girls on myspace who had nothing to do with me. I felt shitty and I went through a drunking phase to coop with it like your pain medication but shit will change. You have to give it time and give it a fucking good effort. What girl would want to hang with your anger and depressing attitude lately. You need to lighten up and change! ITs hard to grasp but things will get better if you start a better attitude. Your talk to me in South Dakota got me to put down the bottle (not completly but a lot) and even though I was alone and still had no direction in life I felt better about shit. Then I meet Kayla and she absolutley gave me the best out look on life. Now I have someone that I love so dearly and I am working on the other things in life (Like job situations) and making something of myself. Everything happends for a reason and you just have to wait and see. Shit falls into place. Fucking do it. or at least try to and see what happends. What the fuck do you got to loose.

Now for one don't comment and say why the fuck do want to get ride of this. Second I will come up with a fair price. I know this shit is used and I wouldn't get shit for it at the x but I need some money. Third I will give my honest opinion on any of these albums. Not that you all want any of this shit but if you do hit me up!

This post is mainly for Brian. My mom got me a late birthday present. 6 cd set of legendary Crooners. It comes with the greatest hits of Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole, Perry Como, Bing Crosby, Fred Astaire, and Dean Martin. Havn't had much time to listen to it yet but it looks good. I wish it would have included a Sammy Davis Jr. cd but pretty good none the less.

Alright thats it I am tired as hell and its time for bed. I am determine to get some better schooling this year so I can get a GOOD job. That way I won't have to work 2 jobs 7 days a week. My baby did it now I believe I can too!!! I actually have some confidence now in this department. Life is starting to shape out nicely. It kind of has me pumped! :)

Back too work 7 days a week. Fucking sucks even though I took somedays off because of the snow so I haven't really had a full seven day week yet. I'm 23 now its not any different then 22. I guess the next cool age to look forward to is 25, lower insurence rates and shit like that. I am going to go to some schooling here either summer or fall. I am going to go into hv/ac. You can make some good money at that. Kayla and me are doing great. I still can't believe I got lucky and found her (well techincally she found me heh). I didn't think I was going to fall in love again but I did. In fact I never felt like this towards somebody. Its great!!! Welp I guess thats all I got.

So I get up as normal for work. I am driving down the road, they didn't seem to bad. WRONG! Russia Rd. was like a fucking ice skating rink. Only it was black ice. My brakes looked up and I slammed into the ditch. My truck was almost paralell, I had to climb out of it to get out. I waited for about an hour and a half before I could finally get a toe-truck to come get me out. $65 bucks there and I was back on the road again. I said fuck it going to work and I went back home. Well I was leaving to go to Kayla's to take her to her bar tending class because she has never driving in the snow and wasn't comfortable doing so. Things went wrong again. I started to slide in the drive way and ended up in the yard. No biggy usually but since it was still wet and rainy over in this part I got stuck. Fucking rear wheel drive. I tried many a things to get out but it only made things worse. My truck is stuck in the yard the front end almost off the ground because my back tires are so far down in the ground. Jason is going to be over later to help pull me out. I told Kayla about my terrible day and she said she would make it better so hopefully this day can turn around. But as of right now I am still pretty pissed off at my terrible driving skills. I supose this is some way of a higher power telling me I shouldn't be driving today. FUCKER

... look at that. Me and Kayla have officially hooked up. I am happy!!!

Trip to Georgia
Well I am back from Georgia. It was a short lived vacation but I had fun. Jason and I left Monday morning around 8 and twelve hours later we were at our destination. It was a long drive but it was fun to see the different states.

( I took a few pictures with my camera on the way down there: )

We didn’t do too much when we got there. Josh showed us around base a little bit then we just watched movies and drank beer. The next day we didn’t do a whole lot either. Josh showed us the rest of the base (which is rather large actually). We meet a few of his friends, went to an awesome pancake house, showed us the Augusta mall, played videos games, watched more movies and that was basically it. It was nice to see Josh again I wish we would have stayed longer but I don’t know what we would have done. The weather down there was excellent. It reached the lower 80’s. I woke up and was able to go outside in my boxers and smoke a cig. Speaking of cigs I actually picked up a cartoon for 21 bucks down south compared to 40 bucks up here. I have more pictures to post of down there and on our trip back up but they are on Jason’s camera so I will have to wait to get those pictures up.

2007 > 2006
So I really think 2007 will be the year of comebacks. It can’t get much worse then ’06. 2006 wasn’t that bad really it just had its ups and downs, probably more down then up. But anyways that is behind me now. Some thing I am looking forward to. The triumphant return of Violent Night! The thrash metal onslaught of Evil Star will be playing out soon. Also there is this rather cute girl that I am talking to now.

...here I come!

So I have been feeling pretty good lately. I’ve been lifting weights and showing great improvement. It’s nice to actually do something and have it show progress. But I know that I am still not healthy. Today we made up some new game at work that involved running, climbing, and lifting. After only playing 2 or 3 minutes of it I was dead. My lungs felt like they were on fire. Worse then any pot smoke has ever lit them up. It’s obviously from my smoking cigarettes. It seriously took an hour for me to catch my breathe. I was glad that I had quota because I couldn’t move much. I seriously thought I was dying. Oh well even after that I still have no urge to quite smoking.

So I am picking up the banjo. I have always had the urge to play this instrument sine my dad played it and my uncle Troy. I tried playing at an early age but got frustrated and gave it up. Well I was driving home from work the other day and bluegrass was on the college station so I thought damn I should pick it back up. I’ve been playing for three days and I am actually not doing to bad. It is harder then a guitar I think. You focus more on picking then fretting and I was never good at picking parts for guitar. But I am actually having a fun time with it and dad is getting a kick out of it. I think I am going to buy my own banjo that way me and him can play together.

I found my old Sega Genesis with the 32x. Damn it is bringing back memories. The 32x is what ruined Christmas for me. Because I found it before hand and it was supposedly from Santa. Well after that I figured there isn’t such thing as Santa. Anyways I’m playing some classic games like Doom and Blackthorne that were computer games at the time. 32 bits of fucking classic gaming!!!

... I would say Roy Orbison. Ok maybe not the first but his music definetly is. I have to stop listing to it but I like it a lot. Plus I just made a mix cd for my truck. Its so haunting in ways.

Might be going down to Georgia with Jason to see Josh. I miss him in a non homo way.

Anyways go Browns I hope they shit on the Steelers tomorrow but we will see.

Yeah so I heard this advertisment for a research study on RLS (restless leg syndrome). I have a lot of the symptoms and this study is being down were they pay you to take untested drugs and shit. Also pay for your travel/time shit like that. I'm thinking about actually trying it. Though they aren't responsible for like death and shit like that so.

Almost had a heart attack watching the Browns Sunday. Can't believe they pulled it off. I could go into more detail but I'm sure nobody really cares.

Dead girls don't say no.

The fish porno was totally disturbing. A lot more then the bear one. I'm suprised PETA hasn't jumped all over that shit. heh

Alright I'm out......

Last night was pretty awesome. I took my Destructor - Maximum Destruction vinyl to have it signed. First person I see when I walk threw the door was Matt Flammable and Jamie. So I had Matt sign the album first. He was in 'Ahh' that I had found a copy. Lick the Blade came on after some shitty band with one bass player and a drummer. Haven't seen them in a while so it was cool to hear the good ole tunes. They have a new song that is actually kind of thrashy. Half way threw their set I seen that Dave Overkill and Rabid came in. So I left and got Dave to sign my vinyl. Then I went up to the bar and got Rabid to sign it. Pat had emailed me a couple of months ago in regards to that small Destructor fan site I made. He wanted to send me a ton of photos but explained to me that he didn't have a scanner and that we would have to hook up sometime. Rabid also bought me a beer while we were at the bar. Then I seen Bill Peters so I had to go show him my vinyl freshly inked. The next band up was Cauldron and they were really fucking awesome. Then Destructor came on and tore the place up. Then Skeleton Witch came on last. Didn't end up staying for all of Skeleton Witch cause I was tired and everybody else decided that it was cool to leave. It was already 1:30 by this time. I picked up some Skeleton Witch cds and a patch and got a new Destructor t-shirt. I saw Craig from Crucified Mortals, talked to him for a while. Saw Jim Konya... he was wearing his red satanic pants of course. He also did a very funny interruptive dance to Metallica's Ride the Lighting album. Also saw dude from My Mind's Eye. I'm not even going into how Ken was dumb and got us lost on the way back home cause it will only anger me.

.... ran out a long time ago. I will not be seeing Hirax because they have cancelled. Fucking blows. I was looking forward to it all day today. It kind of makes me even more pumped about the show Friday though. Plus we have a half day of work on Friday.

I changed polls out today. ;)

Life still sucks for the most part. But for the other parts its just ok. Working everyday for months in a row isn't as bad as I thought it would be. I actually had a day off and thought I should just go to work I'm really bored. The money is great and its awesome to just splurge it on myself and not give a shit. Though now I am paying for all my bills as well as rent.

I've been really lonely lately. It blows really bad. I was doing awesome because I thought I had some opportunities with a couple of different women but I am now back down to zero. I've been listing to Roy Orbison and I don't think its helping in this department. So now I am jamming some Irish songs to lift my spirits. I just want to leave and never come back. Maybe I will go to Ireland.... I was thinking about giving up on women completely and joining a sect or whatever the fuck the priest go to. But I hate God/Jesus Christ and I don't want to become a child rapists either so I think that's out of the question. Maybe I can go be a Buddhist monk. Though I will probably end up hating their god as well.

Other then that I am still lifting weights religiously with Jesse. Still showing great improvements though the six pack is still taking to long. I totally cut back on drinking. I have a beer maybe once or twice a month. Unless a party is going down then more obviously. So this gut should be hitting the road soon.

Well then I bought a 250GB hard drive. Come that I can only use 137 of it because my motherboard is so old that back in the day that was the biggest hard drive around. Whatever its more then enough for what I need. Plus I didn't pay any extra for the 250. Now I got the hard drive because my 10GB could not hold the two online games I play. Now I am trying to install the one and there is a fucking scratch on the cd so it won't install. I am pretty pissed off about it.

Well I can't say I am in the dumps 100%. Next week should be a blast. Hirax is coming Wednesday and Destructor is playing on Friday. Both are playing at the Jigsaw Saloon so I will be driving out to Parma twice that week. I'm going to get my Hirax vinyl signed as well as my Maximum Destruction vinyl. I'm probably going to take a camera so I can my picture taking with Katon too!!!
