I want to dig a hole and sleep in it forever. God damnit this sucks.
I want to get out of the house.
this is going to sound weird.
I want to make music that people can dance to. That is my mood right now. Sad, Lonely, and ready to give myself up. That’s what dancing is for me.
This mood won’t last long.

Some little freshman kid with a hood on at school the other day was walking behind me, and then he tapped me shoulder and said “Hey, you look like Skrillex, dude”.
What?
I honestly just can’t sleep tonight. I have to go to work at 10 tomorrow, and I have to do laundry before that because my work clothes are disgusting. My stomach hurts, my teeth are secreting something that tastes like the stuff that the dentists numb your mouth with, and I am getting over emotional about my band’s first album.
I wish I had my guitar.
WatchI know I just made big post about how excited I am for this band’s future, but honest to god I begin to shed a tear every time I hear the first guitar line in the intro track. This album was The Author and the Illustrator’s Stillbirth. Watching something so beautiful that came from your body come to fruition, but it’s dead before you can even hold it in your hands. This is so...

Metal doesn’t do fucking anything for me anymore. Not even a little bit. The heaviest I get anymore is Poison the Well, Verse, Refused, and on a rare, rare, occasion, Misery Signals.
Seriously though, metal is just….weak. It’s so weak to me. I’m sorry. I’ll always love the first Korn record, don’t get me wrong. But especially the whole Djent Metal scene that...
Happy 32nd Birthday to Conor Oberst
fuckyeahbrighteyes:
this dry socket is killing me. I am so done with tasting terrible things in my mouth, and not being able to sleep because every 2 to 4 hours I wake up in pain. I don’t want to worry about school anymore. I just want to work and create. I wouldn’t mind working really hard to get my school stuff done and go to my new job and make music and live really fast paced for a couple of weeks,...
I guess my wisdom teeth wanted to be my valentine today, because my mouth hurts SO BAD.
The dentist is seriously the last place I want to be today.
