I'm excited to see H2O tonight... My buddy Akira and I plan on having tons of fun.

I haven't been to a show in months. I work so damn much... I've missed out on shit that means the world to me.

I have 10 days off... I need the rest.

Let's hang out.

Today had to be one of the shittiest days ever...

Total "fuck this job" day today. I hope tomorrow will be better.

Me and some of the OC Hebrews just had a mosh fest in the living room... pictures to follow.

My lease is up VERY soon... should I stay or should I go???

Decisions, decisions...

This is a mix I made today... I actually put it on a tape too.

I miss mix-tapes.

 

Here goes:

Ramones - Do You Wanna Dance?
The Promise Ring - Why Did Ever We Meet?
Texas Is The Reason - If It's Here When We Come Back, It's Ours
Gameface - Cupcakes
Dag Nasty - Justification
Embrace - Dance Of Days
The Smiths - Ask
Camera Obscura (UK) - Let's Get Out Of This Country
Elvis Costello - The Imposter
H2O - 1995

Doesn't really fit like most of my mixes do but meh, it iwas fun.

 

It's bright and hot today. I thought about going to the old pool downstairs but there are at least 15 kids yelling and screaming in there. Oh well, maybe later.
I've been lazy as all hell today... aside from going on a little run and doing laundry.

I stink like a bastard.

Meeting Charlie, NoPot and Farhaad was pretty fucking awesome. I look forward to hanging out with those kids again soon.

Awesome times.

Someone sent me a horrible message on myspace because I posted a couple of bulletins about Holocaust Commemoration Day and one where I was upset that some people don't bother to care about the Holocaust or the Armenian Genocide or the killings in Darfur. I was rather angry and disturbed by what this person (and others said to me).

So, without further delay:

man you dont make any sense at all. all you do is talk about how horrible the holocaust is, yet you forgot there are still many holocausts going on right now by a state YOU support. o i forgot its ok because you are the chosen people. hmmm sounds like the same so called nazi ideology you so vehemently suppose. and what is the point anyways of re hashing some shit that happened 60 some odd years ago. what is it going to change, when there are still holocausts going on right now? o i forgot you pick and choose when you want to sound like some sort of compasionate person,like the rest of the people in this world. and what if hitler didnt murder those 11 million people. do you think you would have air to breathe right now or water to use. think about it. honestly i dont give a shit about it all,i dont care abou tnaything anymore because i know god, i know the world of man is ending very soon,then your going to see a real holocaust.

 

Amazing...

I took a walk down the old street tonight and took some pictures of this girl named Frances under the streetlights. She was a good sport, we had lots of fun.  

So today has been a shitty Saturday.

I had to put down one of my dogs today. I felt terrible about doing it but she was suffering, she could barely stand up let alone walk and she couldn't control some of her basic functions. She was 17 years old (119 in dogs years) and she had a good run, a good family and a good life. I just didn't want her to suffer anymore. I needed to get out and take my mind off the decision I had just made because it was tearing me up. I drove out to LA to hang out with one of my really good friends and while we were out and about, we ran into some of the ultra Orthodox men that are around his neighborhood. They saw my tattoo's and pretty much wrecked me because of them. I've never felt guilty about having tattoo's and being Jewish but today, these guys really got to me. The thought of getting them removed even crossed my mind (that's how bad it hit me). I know its odd discussing my religious side but I've become more and more devout as of late. I really can't explain why... Perhaps it is due to the growing tensions in Israel, maybe it's because I've been confronted with more and more racism in recent days or maybe I'm just trying to find a way to cope with it all. While I'm pretty comfortable with where I am in life, I feel like I just need a break. Work is taking a huge toll on me with all the driving I've been doing lately.

I've never been so tired in my life.
