Here I sit, in the studio. I’m cutting a metal album. It’s 2:00 a.m., and I don’t know what else I’d rather be doing.
Though, I did get a new awesome job today. So maybe it’s just a fantastic day.
But all I can really think of right now is that I hope my life is going to be just like this. It’s what I hope to do, at least, as a sound engineer.
I’m trying to stay awake with coffee, just to keep this moment lasting.
I’m with some of my best friends.
I hope you can all find something like this to take solace in.
Do what you do, my friends.
I'm from a town about 2 hours north of Dallas!
Oh, so you're like, right by Colorado?
Why is my school full of dumb bitches?
overheard another man talking on the bus today. He was talking about how he had 3 credit cards, and one that belonged to his dad, in case of emergencies. His father encouraged him to take out loans and repay them quickly to build his credit.
Smart man.
This man then proceeded to say that he went to the bank, withdrew an amount of money using his fathers account, and used the money to buy ecstasy.
Some people would say “What a badass, using his dad’s money to buy drugs.”
I’m gonna go with “What a waste of life.”
Do what you do, my friends.
On the other hand, people who I hear from, who did in fact leave for college, are:
People who I don’t hear from very often must have it pretty nice.
I’m glad I have the alternative of just simply being an antisocialite. Much better than having a kid or being married already.
Do what you do, my friends.
…when nobody is watching. This is what some people say.
Now, is this true? I believe to some degree, yes. The part of you that is supposed to be genuinely your set of traits and characteristics, yes.
This would be perfect if we were not to interact with others.
I believe this saying is supposed to encourage others not to be “fake”, or have a situational and false personality. Which is ethical, I think.
But there’s more to it than that, naturally.
Do you ever watch people who don’t know that you’re watching? I always see the same expression. Blank. Perhaps focused, but never much more than that. Would that mean we all have blank personalities and mentalities?
How we interact with others is an important part of our personalities.
Granted, it’s not healthy to put a front, especially one that is a complete tangent from truth. But friendships and social interaction can define us just as much as self-reflection. Genuine interaction, rather than just spewing words.
Besides, who wants to keep people around who only talk for the sport of it? I don’t have much tolerance for someone who I sense doesn’t want to talk to me, but still does.
Remember, a blank expression upon one’s face means exactly what it portrays.
Nothing.
Do what you do, my friends.
I like being alone, but I hate the feeling of being lonely. When you’re alone, you have time for yourself. Your thoughts finally catch up to you. You set your mind on things and everything is just clearer. Nothing’s bothering you and everything just feels right for once. When you feel lonely, you feel as if no one’s there for you. It feels like no one understands you or is willing to listen. It feels like you’re screaming in a crowded room, yet not one person hears you.

If you need a resolution (or just something to say to people who are asking), just say your resolution is to be EVEN MORE badass. That’s totally what i’m doing.
It doesn’t take the changing of a year to come to a resolution.
I feel almost overly qualified to talk about this. Escapism is my life. If i’m not keeping busy, or something is keeping me busy, my thoughts will ruin my life. Escapism is exactly how it sounds. Basically a distraction, allowing you to escape, figuratively, from your thoughts and such. Famous examples are: video games, music, movies, the internet, sex, drugs, and rock n’ roll. I have nothing to say on this other than the fact that if it works for you, then it works for you. That simple. If you’re even the slightest bit distracted from yourself, then it is doing effective work. That plain, that simple. Others will argue that this is only a temporary fix. And they are correct, that’s exactly what it is. Escapism does not block you from your target permanently. It’s not what it is supposed to do, I believe. Seek other help if you need advice on that, for if I knew, I would need to use it for myself as well about right now. But as for now, just know: Escapism works. Do what you do, my friends.
