    Do it yourself

    I am getting very tired, and to say the least, annoyed of people constantly reffering to an ominoius 'them' during conversations. Its quite obvious at the time who people refer to during these conversations, for example 'They should really do something about all this garbage', or 'Why havent they cracked down on the crime that goes on here'. This will be a short message to 'Them'.

    If every person in the world, considered that it was up to 'them' to change something, or to make it better, or to stand up for what you belive in, nothing would ever be done. Some of you have great ideas, ideas that will never see the day of light, because you dont belive it is your responsibility to see them through. Ideas that you think will be put into place, if you only talk about them, and how 'THEY' should implement them.

    The fact is, is that it starts with YOU. I dont mean, by just talking about your ideas, or how to fix things, but to get off your idealistic asses, and do something about it. Sure, standing on a corner, shouting out what needs to be done, will get people looking at you, hell a few of them (passerbys) may even do something, but mostly everyone will just laugh at you and call you an exentric, and they have every right to do so. I would call you a poser, or a hypocrite, and most likely kick the shit out of you.

    This is what I propose, Instead of expecting someone else doing what you think should be done. Find creative ways to do it yourself. You have a drug problem in your town? See that crackhouse down the street? Go burn it down. The police know its their, hell they even go to it, three or four times a week, but hey, if you havent noticed, its still there, and people are still getting their dope. Sure, it wont stop addicts and junkies from getting it, and it may get you in alot of trouble (if you dont do it smartly), but it is a start. a start to making a better world, for our children, and their children.

    Moreso, You see some idiot littering, no police around, nobody really gives a damn. Go and make them pick it up, dont just spit on the ground, and be like 'fucking litterers' then walk past the garbage, thinking that it is someone elses responisibility. DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. hell, if you cant force them to pick it up, or if they are gone to far, pick it up yourself.

    There are quite a few more things that I could go on about, with this topic, but I will leave it at this.
    It is your Responisbility, to make the world a better place, and to make sure that it stays that way. Dont expect useless law enforcers to do what you should be doing every day. Be Creative, Be Vigilante Be Free, and most importantly, Be Yourself.

    Now, if you excuse me, I have a few hundred pounds of illegal Garbage to go dump on some idiots front lawn.

    None Applicable

    I doubt you will be reading this I do not know your motivations nor do I honestly care. You, like me, and anyone else, Did what needed to be done to ensure self perseverance. I still to this day do not know what happened, only that town went to hell for a few weeks after. And of course the backwash of rumors to go with it. For the last couple of months, I knew something was wrong. Instead of trying to ask and help, I distanced you from me and our friends/Family.

    You should be aware that within two weeks of writing this, I will be entering detox.
    I look forward to kicking your ass..

    Five days until my birthday, not that that matters much at all. Its ironic that for the most part, most entries written by me, seem to be an anxious parody of a confessional, and sadly enough, this one will be no different.

    I dont understand how people 'Harden' themselves to crime.  Many say that it has alot to do with the lifestyles that most criminals leave, or just the fact that they have done it so many times. I will say now, that I am no criminal but, like most other people, I imagine, I have done things I am not proud of. and to this very day still do. I remember when I was a little kid, in Scouts Canada. We Went to an AJ (Alberta Jamboree) with our group, none of the scouts In my group liked me, and I can say I dont disagree. At that time I wasnt in scouts, to make friends, or be part of a group, but to make my father (who once was the central alberta regional commisioner) Happy(fn..Perhaps not to make him happy, but to spend time with the one i looked up to so much(.

    I remember all of them bugging me, calling me a 'mamma's boy', and in many senses they were right. I remember them mockingly telling me that If I didnt 'Harden up' I would never make it through Junior High. I remember Crying like the pathetic child I was, running across the entire camp, to my dads trailer, just to listen to him tell me it was okay.

    I may not of been strong, but I was smart, Well smart enough to realize that those kids were right, even if they didnt realize it. I hardly party at all these days, don't goto the bar, don't hang out with masses of people at the same time... I like my solitarity, thats just the way I am. When I started junior high,  the first week was a disaster. Luckily, it just so happened that I was entering grade eight, so I only had one hellish year.

    The first week was a complete disaster. It may of been because of my bitch English teacher mrs.Anderson *cough*whore*cough*, or the fact that every night, in the bus run I got into a fight and lost (lack of skill/will to win) I knew something had to be changed, so come the beginning of the next week, the end began.
    It started with attitude. I removed most of my 'care free (happy/eccentric/energetic/willing to talk to anyone/want/desire to be accepted) ways' and replaced it with subtle hostility/suspicion, towards anyone. When Insulted, instead of having a witty comeback., or pathetic complaint, there was nothing, only silence, and confusion to go with it. confusion was one of my greatest allies, my self perceived enemy's, could not understand why there jeering stopped working, and eventually quit.


    The next thing to go was the lack of fighting ability, most people would have enrolled in self defence courses, which I belive, because of the repition involved in one, is quite a good thing, But most of my time was spent in my garage, or better yet, purposely getting my ass kicked day after day. My thought processing, and reflexes have always, (well used to be) slightly better than the average person (making me really good at videogames/lasertag/paintball/etc) so I was able to quickly learn about superior defensce and blocking/dodging. Also, the most important thing that I learned to do, was to stay calm... alot of people say that is easy to do, but, I disagree, the time that was spent,learning to keep oneself calm and steady headed, during any situation... and to simply be able to tolerate pain was (lack of better word) torturous, a menial time of self inflicted pain, both physical (fn. not mutilation, more like, hey you., I want to fuck your mother) and emotional torment.

    Im not sure where I picked it up, but Ive always been fond of using critical pressure points in combat.. It would seem that even in an angry frenzy, i can seek out a vulnerable point, and use it to my advantage....or preferably, strike it (two fingers, I have never been much of a grappeller) Anyways, To return to subject,
    I decided to take some personal interest in how I looked. ( I was/am still used to buying from thrift stores) I really didnt like the idea of paying big money, for disgusting looking clothing, that was apparently cool, and had someone elses shit on it. So instead, I bought really cheap clothes, with.... nothing on them, and drew / modified them, to my liking. I still have a blue/grey hoodie that caused me tons of trouble. I had downloaded, and memorized the Tolkien Runic Script, and thought it would be 'leet' if I made a shirt using it, to advertise my S.C.A.R.A.B clan.....Bad Idea.

    Two weeks have passed, and I dont seem to remember why I started to write this.
    Nothing important Im sure.

    Strange urges

    Its been years since I have been a cutter, and I am glad. But there are times, when I get..... Urges, to watch my blood slowly drip down my arm and trickle off my fingers.... It really has nothing to do with pain... I dont feel it, like others do anymore, maybe Ive had alot of it, and have grown tolerant of it, or perhaps, I did indeed fry more than my brain..... I remember when I shot myself in the hand, there was no pain, and the doctors didnt use any freezer to take the bullet out. even when I tried to jump off the operating table, to tackle my friend, (he was making fun of me), when the doctor had the scaple inside my hand, I didnt feel anything

    Yet theres other days, where it hurts just to sit up, let alone walk around, or move in general. But, I lost the point..... I found my old cutting knife.. a nice sharp fish filleting knife, that still has blood on it...... Ive been staring at it for hours now, Getting the same urges I used to get on a daily basis..... but I doubt I will do it, in fact, Im pretty sure I wont... but still, Its strange, how you can think you put something behind you, and then BANG its in your face, worse than it was before.

    Im not sure what to do... So, I think the best thing to do, Is to lose the knife again.

    Christmas.... Ruined, by me, again

    Well we had Christmas today, and not suprisingly, I ruined it.... I didnt want to, but it seemed that my actions were out of my control (no I wasnt drunk)
    I refused to open any presents, my parents got pissed at me, my dad thought I was going to do something stupid, so my mom ended up going for supper alone, which broke her heart, and my heart... I told dad to go, but he didnt listen. My mom cried when she got home, told me that she hates me, because I ruined the one time of the year where we arent fighting with each other, and that we wont celebrate christmas next year.... My Dad is hurt.... I know it, and It makes me feel like shit, which is good, because I would wonder about myself if I felt good about it..... I only wish I could make it better..... Well, with all these materialistic gifts laying upstairs, wrapped, (my dad said they will sit there until I unwrap them) I think I will make my own list, of what I really wanted for christmas.... and hey, mabye somewhere in the world, Santa Clause will still be running  around, and will be able to make a detour.

    So.... My list of what I want for christmas

    1)To be able to reconize myself when I look in the mirror, Not be afraid
    2)To know why I spend more time having conversations with different aspects of myself, instead of real people
    3)To not wake up every morning, and know that no matter what I do, I will be disappointing my parents
    4)To not wake up every morning, and wish for death
    5)To be able to have peace of mind during my sleep (It doesnt come anymore....mostly nightmares, and Anger)
    6)To be able to tell the difference between what is real, and imagined (is this real?)
    7)To be able to walk down the street, without the constant feeling that someone is always watching me and anyone I see could potentially be harmful (paranoia)
    8)To know why some days I can read/write 95 wpm, yet others, I don't even know how to write/read my name
    9)To be able to remember more than the last 10 minutes, and not constantly get confused about things, with no warning
    10) To be able to consider myself a normal human being.... Not to be scared or uncomfortable.... or delirious, when told you have to leave the house.....

    Nothing

     I was planning on writing an entry for a while now, but dont really know what to say. Words seem to evade me lately, I notice my grammar, and spelling faultering. Most likely it is because I Hardly write anymore, infact not at all. Im not even sure why I am writing in this, possible bordem... trying to rationalize nothing, because there is nothing. Ive been sad, to say the least, lately.. not like emotional sad... (seem to prentend that doesnt exist, or perhaps its due to becoming aquainted to is, and having it seem normal... even desired) but more or less mopey.. no energy or motivation to attempt or do anything, but well. sleep, (there is no peace in the dreams though, most seem forgotten, or void of anything). Havent actually read a book or watched a TV show in more than a month, try to avoid using Blogtv, now that it has internationalized.
    Infactm I try to avoid using my computer at all, all that is desired is sleep.. and dreams, mabye the dreams will be good this night, mabye they can be remebered.... oh well

    Insanity Is fun

    Im in a Decent mood today, it was Mikes birthday last night, and we were up until about 2:30, having a camp fire. He slipped a bit, but was alot better about it than usualy, instead of getting completely slammed, he only had an axe head, and shared three beers with me (so about a six pack in terms of %) Which is really good for him... Im very glad to see that he is making a great effort/start at quitting drinking.
     
    It gets very confusing, living on a daily basis... I wish it was possible to talk to my brother about this, but he is gone, So, I am forced to turn to myself for advice, which can be quite interesting (What did the Insaine man, say to the other Insaine man? I dont think you exist). Actually its quite funny, I could say repeatedly that I have no one to talk to, but the truth is, I have lots of people to talk to, but when the time comes, I have nothing to say.... even though I want to, IT seems near impossible to express the emotions and thoughts properly in words. So nothing is accomplished..
     
    I'm tired of not being able to tell my dreams from my Waking Life.. but yet, almost every day is the same, the same irregullar feeling, as if you just did this five minutes ago... (ever go on mushrooms, you would understand then), Not being able to tell if the last person I talked to was real, or if the friend i just talked to is actually my friend... (I usually have to call them about five minutes after I leave.... (I was just there right?) It gets funnier when people in random bars offer me acid... (Hey man, want a hit? Man ,m i dont need no fucking acid... the real world is fucked up enough as it is)
     
    But all in all, I think the worse aspect of it is the hallucinations... Sure, its not good not know who is real or not... but it gets alot more interesting than that. Almost Daily there are 'periphial' vison images, that I can just barely make out.. When I asked about them, A doctor once said that It is because the mind is trying to comprehend all that was learned/done in a day. thats actually a rather fun part... it gives me an excuse to devulge myself into this fake fantasy world, Which could Be this world... But when I Say Hallucinations i speak of mainly, Audio Hallucinations... I Necissarly mean Voices (though that is a part of it), but small enviromental sounds... like a constant thumping, or a dog barking... ( I know that there are lots of explanations for those, but I will diverge... ) Say your walking down the street, and you hear a rabid dog barking, right behind you, and when you turn around, you swear you see a flurry of motion, but there is nothing there... or when your looking out a window, and you think you see someone you know, or a face in the window, and you look again, and its gone.... thans almost an hourly occurance... and it can lead to some very interesting paranoid fits...
     
    They say that your fine if you talk to yourself, but dont talk back... I find that rather intersesting, as I can talk to different 'aspects' of myself for hour on end.... my conscious thought stream is actually about five or six thought streams telling me to do firrent things, say different things, and it gets even more interesting, as my memories are splintered, and stored in the thought stream that is dominent at the momen... which fucking sucks, beause most the time , I cant remember anything, and when I do, it is so drastically changed, or viewied differently, that I dont know If its really, and alteration of a real memory, or a dream.....
     
    Excuse me while i continue existing
    see you on blog

    never ending boredom

    2016

    i was supposed to goto a play that my friend is in but i decided not to,as i dont like being in a room with masses of people singulary devoted to a cause. I imagine he will be quite angry, and I cant blame him as I am quite dissapointed in myself, And was looking forward to watching the play. My father said that he went, and enjoyed it, He also was not too happy that I didnt show up. Anyhow, you know that feeling where you want to be doing something, going somewhere else,actually wanting to give a flying fuck about whats going on? Well I feel that at the moment, this lurking emptiness, a desire to do more than sit on my ass and smoke weed. Well, since i quit smoking it, I get that feeling on a daily, sometimes hourly basis.I must say, its damn hard to keep someone busy after years spent on pointless sessions and hours of gaming.

    Everything seems so plastic, like when your walking down the street, everything looks as if time has stopped ticking, no wind blows, christmas lights dont blink, not a single sound arises from any direction, its almost surreal,  you get the feeling that you could do whatever you wanted, and nobody would be around to see/care..... Then time comes back into its blur  rapid motion, the noise returns, that single drop of water hits the ground and reverberates across all known sound waves. My head feels as if it is exploding, not able to process every motion or sound,causing a flood of pain until darkness comes, and time stops again.

     

    0400

    Ive decided that there is only one way to quit smoking pot and cigarettes, and that is to goto a place where i will not be around it, for a long amount of time, with no choice but to stay their.....No im not talking about Adaac or some Rehab Centre or any other place i have to pay to goto, in fact, not only will i quit smoking, but I will be paid 2800$ to do so, get free room and board for 45 days, and a bus ticket home when im done. Doesnt all this sound so great? Well it does to me, except for one slight problem... that place is jail, and i have to explain to my dad how i wasted all my money on drugs overnight instead of paying part of a huge fine, and why i belive this is the best descision that i can make. Unfortianitly at the moment, im doing the best to convince myself that its the best thing i can do for my future, even if it means 45 days of hell. Im fucking scared right now, but i know it must be done, even if it wrecks my parents ideal new years (im sure as hell not going to ruin their christmas, allthough i dont celibrate it)God, I wish i knew WTF to do.

    Sleepless nights

    0432

    Its been hard to sleep lately, i find myself more and more wandering the streets until almost sunrise and some days later. Quit smoking once again, yet i doubt that will last long. I wish my parents were more supportive of my ideas, or atleast feigned interest in how they turn out,but i cant blame them as i usually get bored or confused and note on to something else. This time however i want something different, this will not only change my life but the lifes of thousands,now only i can get enough sleep.

     

    1337

    Sleep evaded me yet again, im tired of the never ending game, either im going to sleep or im going to lose my sanity. I feel it dripping away day by day, each day with less sleep than the previous, it reminds me of a very bad case of writers block, you cant think, you cant concentrate, I find it almost impossible to talk, as i puff on my fag I feel the poison seeping into my blood stream, all my reactions seem extremly slowed, a ball flying past my head at 90mph appears to be standing still, almost weightless, then i put my hand in its path to interact with this seemingly un real object, and time snaps back into motion (my hand still hurts)

    When you reach this Much hated yet desired state all reason is gone, the only controlling factors are the floods of raw emotion and unintelligable thought that my subconscious seems to understand, a feeling of pure helplessness surrounds you as your walking down a street, unable to percive any dangers, or see more than five feet infront of you (sleep blindness, caused by lack of sleep mixing with the tiredness of your eyes) I just hope that it will be better when i wake up, but i know it wont

    Loss of Brother., Sensless violence

    MY best friend Devon was in town on sunday - tuesday, unfortianitly on monday i recived a phone call from the police informing me that my brothers body was located. I managed to get through the first day without much of a problem, as i was doing my best not to think about it, however on tuesday Devon left, and I had nothing better to do than dwell on it, I went over to my friend Mike's place, broke the news to him, then we both walked over to Steves apartment. Unfortianitly the only way to get up their was to climb up a fire escape, and then knock on his window. well, I lost my nintendo DS while climbing but did not realize it until i was ready to leave, Steve was supposed to wait for me at the door while i went and found it, well I ran over and couldnt find it, then came back, Steve was gone and in his place was a prick named wayne... actually i didnt really know him at all until that night. I walked in, he asked me WTF i was doing just walking in, and when I told him steve was supposed to be waiting for me, he drug me outside and threw me on the cement, unfortianitly i lost my glasses inside, so i was forced to re-enter and attempt to grab them, i opened the door, and he socked me in the face, so i returned the favor, managed to get my glasses, but he prevented me from leaving, he continued to bash me, (me being drunkish and depressed wasnt really able to help myself) until my glasses broke, and threw me outside again. i did my bloody grin laugh (see cowboy bebop) and noted that he had two choices, Pay for my glasses, or be charged for assault/damage of property.
     
    He told me that he had no intentions of doing so, so i 'politely' informed him that he made a mistake, and it would be alot easier on the both of us if he paid for them and apologized. He laughed, pulled me inside, dialed 911 on the payphone and handed me the phone. i started talking to the operator when he grabbed me, put my back to a wall, supported by his arm against my neck and started bashing me with the phone, He then proceded to once again throw me outside, at which point i didnt re-enter, and waited for the police to arrive (911 call, always gets the police to come, even if its hung up instantly, which it wasnt)
     
    unfortianitly, i was too rattled to make a complete statment, and the one i signed was innaccurate (i could of sworn his name was wade (waynes twin who lives with him) and that his car looked almost identical to the cops ghost car (ive only ever seen it at night), and they made me make the statment BEFORE I went to the hospital
     
    Well, after two bruised ribs, a collapsed lung and a big concussion, im back at point zero, but atleast i got some of that mourning energy out of me
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     

    Book Review: Fear Nothing

    Dean koontz has to be one of the most sucessful horror/suspense writers around in this day and age.  When I picked up this book and began to read, i couldnt put it down, until eight hours later, it was done and i was left with a thrill running through my spine (nothing to do with the fact that my head is numb from oxygen loss)
     
    Christopher Snow is a 28 year old man who "suffers" from a skin disease called xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) and is forced only to live outside at night. The story begins when he emerges in daylight for the first time in more than nine years, and only to visit his dying father in the hospital. While he manages to speak to his father one last time, while the body is being transfered to the mortuary, he overhears two orderlys and the mortician speaking about swapping his body with another. Snow makes his way to the mortuary, and demands to see his fathers body, but the mortician insists that the cremation process has allready began and that it would be impossible to do as he requests. Snow, knowing the truth, but deciding no to let the mortician know leaves quietly  then begins to do some good old nancy drew style sluething. he could not of percived  that what he will discover could be the end of his disease, but the beginning of an even greater problem? He soon learns that not everyone is as they seem. his most trusted friends become be his most feared enemys,as he is drug into a conspiracy that could mean the end of the world as we know it?
     
    Koontz manages to tell this beautiful story spanning over two days in one of the most exhillarating mind numbing ways possible, every page you read makes you want to know what happens next, and it doesnt relent until the story is done, while some of the major questions throughout the book go unawnsered you are left with a fulfilling sensation when you reach the end of the book, and in typical Koontz fashion, their is no lack of humor throughout the entire book
     
    Another Great novel by Dean Koontz

    Book review: The Lost king

    Margret Weis writes yet a stunningly great novel, though i am reminded by prelude to foundation, i belive this is a great beginning to the Star of the Gaurdans Dion a parentless father with no name or history has become the target of a great warlord named Derek Sagan. His one protector, a Reclusive poet named Platus seeks out the help of a fugitive ex military mercenary whois currently living in his scimitar fighter, along with his only companion, an annoying computer named xj-9. the mercenary(tusk) reluctantly agrees,  Dion manages to escape from tusks grasp and attempts to find Platus, only to watch his only friend and protector get murdered by Derek sagan, Tusk and Dion then escape off the planet, and Tusk soon begins to become entwined in an intricate plot to destroy the republic government and replace it with the true heir to the throne,a long lost Starfire(dion)
     
    i dont really want to spoil anything in it, so that was a summary of the beginning, which leads through the whole book
    I had some issues reading parts of it, as margret weis has an amazing abillity to drag on certian scenes, without any proper description,  though it was always eventful and she managed to keep me intrested until the very end, and like any good serial series, leaves you wondering wtf is going to come next
     
    not her bes book, but far better than amber and ashes, or the second war of the souls
     
    Rated 6.5/10
