changes that stay the same

to anyone who cares, this is where i live now.

creston, ohio, united states.

the end of january brought the end to living in any kind of a "city"

even though where i had moved from was pretty remote, it was still close to everything that one would need in day to day life. so needless to say moving back to my hometown was, and still is, quite a shock. i keep struggling with the idea that...ok i'm 25 years old and what am i doing? living in the same house as my grandmother, and sharing a bedroom with my younger sister. who the hell does that, honestly? people keep saying that what i am doing is the right thing, and i can see that point of view....but i also liked that for the past 7+ years i have been able to come and go as i please and not have to worry about "checking in" or whatever. granted my grandmother doesn't really pry too much, but it's just the idea i guess. and of course a huge plus is the fact that i don't have to pay for anything but the internet bill while i am living here. crazy how even though i am not paying rent, i have no money whatsoever. that's another story altogether.

things in my life are otherwise the same old thing, which is mainly unfortunate. haha i don't like to be on the computer as much anymore, so i guess that's a good thing. but on days like today (where i don't work, have no money, and nothing better to do) i still spend most of the day just searching around random things online. one thing i have noticed is that i have hardly any contact with people who i thought were my "friends". none at all. that just kicks me in the face and makes me want to really get serious about planning on leaving. because why the heck do i want to stay here? it's miserable some days.

work has been alright, with the exception of a few people annoying the crap outta me. i drive to work, do my job, and come home. that's it.

some musical things in the future that i am super stoked about:

- new RX BANDITS record/tour/artwork/merch coming summer 2009 [near my birthday !!!]

- an album from frontman dave davison [maps&atlases] in his solo project CAST SPELLS

- concerts coming to town...mewithoutYou, kk & his weathered underground, rxb [presumably], elton john...and others

- a new album from PORTUGAL. THE MAN due out the end of july, entitled "The Satanic Satanist"

- a new album from wickedly awesome NURSES out july 2009 !!

so i guess that's pretty cool.

hopefully i get some stuff done this summer that i actually want to do.

if not, oh well...but it would be nice.

one more thing....

gosh i've been watching a lot of basketball this season. like, a lot.

and all i have to say is go cavs!
