computers are bitches

it's true. they suck. but for some reason i have spent over 12 hours of the last 3 days of my life working to fix computer issues.... and i'm going to keep working on it 'til i whip this bitch into shape. gloves are off baby.

also, i'd like to say thanks to the rest of the people i've talked to about the "unbearable" post. i've found that what helps me get over things is having people to relate to. a lot of people just lecture me and smack me upside the head with some "get your shit together" type of talk, but that honestly doesn't help much. i can try and pull it together on my own but it's not going to work. but if others are willing to open up and tell me what they have gone through and/or are still going through, that's way more powerful. i guess the whole idea that everyone is vulnerable is kind of comforting in a strange way. ya dig?

Sincerely,
Siberian

2 years later...

it's been 2 years since my last post on this blog, but i'm bringing it back. it's fun to look back on this blog read what my summer of 2007 was like and see how nice and simple life seemed back then. things are different now; some good, some bad, but definitely a lot less simple and carefree. i am not saying that it's necessarily a bad thing. complexities are part of life and they help us all become individuals. i just feel as if the entire last year of my life has been very emotionally intense and complex. you, the reader, will learn more about these things as more post start to arrive. I will try and update at least 3 times a week. I think i almost need to to keep myself sane (hence the reason of starting this blog again).

so hello blogoshpere... i am here, once again, to express my thoughts to whomever may find it intriguing.

sincerely,
Siberian

that worked out well

I got to the show tonight and it turns out that Enlou dropped so they asked us if we could play. so even though our afternoon show got rained out we got to play. it was H&M's last show and LP's second to last. i'm extremely glad we got to rock out with them. H&M played the best I'd ever seen them. what a good night.

shows

we played a show last night and it was pretty stellar. kind of a young crowd but it was fun. it was down in Carmel with our friends All of the Above. they are so tight. then we were supposed to play in Hartford this afternoon but it got canceled and no one told us. i love it when that happens. whatever... i'll just get myself pumped for SpringHill.

perfect score

"If they make a movie about it I wonder who would play me... he would have to be hung like a horse."

paint and music

we practiced yesterday and it was a lot of fun. i think we have the new song done. score. it just needs to be cleaned up a bit. today i went over to tyler's and organized the basement. it looks a lot better now and we'll have more room to practice and stuff. i also painted my neighbor's chimney. am i awesome or what?

oh conan

Martha Stewart: "if you use this tool then it makes the paint look like fake wood."
Conan: "That's incredible, you can have fake wood at home!"
*laughter*
Conan: "It's called Viagra."
