So, I've decided I'm going to get a tattoo of Sam somewhere on me. Not sure which picture or where to put it, but I'm going to do it.

I guess the writer's strike should be ending soon. If so, ABC is going to start crankin out new episodes of BL! YAY!! Only 2 left from before the strike...

Aside from BL, I've been watching Celebrity Rehab, Rock Of Love, and Food Network. My TV is always on Food Network, VH1, or a news channel.

Also, I picked up some new albums. Got stuff from Fiona Apple to Missy Elliot to Gov't Mule. Picked up Bob Dylan's discography too. Anyone have any albums that you love to suggest I listen to? I'm trying to expand my music collection to everything. Let me know what you love!!

Not bad. Pretty accurate actually...

I really want to get out of Michigan. I want to go back to California, like now. There is nothing here for me. I want to start my music career and get into acting. Michigan is trying to bring the film industry back here... but it won't be for a long time. No one is really interested in Michigan, especially filming in Detroit. Most films are done in Mackinac or on the west coast near Lake Michigan. Nothing done around here.

Blah... I just want out!!!

PS: Is my journal not showing up again? Or are people just not interested in my stuff?

Today started off pretty well. My mom wanted to go to the Wings/Kings game tonight, just the two of us. Couldn't get them, so we decided on ordering food from my work and watching the game here. After a bit, Jess and Jon left to go to Meijers to return bottles and buy some stuff. My mom said "there goes the bitch and her bitch." I shot a look at her that was very hateful. So, of course, I told Jessica what my mom said about her. She confronted my mom about it, my mom told her to fuck off, moved her car out of the way (as was I) and then she went back inside the house, slamming the door. I was hesitant to go inside, because I knew what was coming for me: Jess and Jon weren't home, so my mom could do whatever she wanted to me, which is what happened. As soon as I walked in, my mom was yelling about me how she can't tell me anything without it getting back to Jessica and a bunch of shit. So, I walked down the hallway towards my room, with my mom following me. She got in my face, yelled at me some more, and the hand came up and across my face. Granted, it wasn't a hard slap, but she still did it... She is lucky that I'm not a violent person. If someone hits me, I usually will not fight back. I find brawling and fighting to be the epitome of stupidity. She walked away after that and I went into my room.

I called Jessica to let her know what had just happened, she told me to meet her where she was at. Right when I got off the phone, my mom came into my room, trying to explain things to me. She always tells me the same things over and over again on how much she fought for the best for us and all that stuff. How much my dad is a loser and blah blah blah.

There is a good reason why I NEVER open up to my mom anymore: she twists it to make her the victim. I'm sick of it... all of it... I can't live like this. I try to find ways to help with my depression without the help of medication. I have my music and my shows. Plus, I work all the time. This is why I am the way I am... I always go into my room and shut my door, put on some Boston Legal, Dave Matthews Band, ect., and I'm able to get away from my depression. Some people drink, some take drugs; I have James Spader, William Shatner and Dave Matthews Band.

So, Jessica and I have one month to move out. We don't know what my mom will do in the next couple of days. Most of the time, whenever we start packing up our things, she doesn't want us to leave. So, who knows... who knows...

So, the good news is that I now have the internet in my room. Took hammering a hole in my floor and a 50' e-net cable, but I have it! YAY!! As for the song, for those that have seen the movie Secretary, you know this song.

Lizzie West - Chariots Rise

I never felt this way before
I've seen so many islands
I never felt this way before
In this song here I describe him

The chariots rise up high in the sky
What a fool am I to fall so in love
What a wonderful dream it seems to be
'Cause I love him

I took the notes of past excursions
And I read them through once more
Only to find them hard aversions
From the one true love in store

The chariots rise up high in the sky
What a fool am I to fall so in love
What a wonderful dream it seems to be
'Cause I love him

Though I have waited long
And they have all been wrong
Now I find in the end
With him I need not pretend
The chariots

They rise up high in the sky
What a fool am I to fall so in love
What a wonderful dream it seems to be
'Cause I love him

'Cause I love him

I love that song...

Oh, I decided to make some icons too:




Haven't made my own icons in a while... feels good!

Played a show tonight. Had sushi before and got the extras! WOO! I'm exhausted. Played a good hour and a half set. I'm off to bed. Night all.

So, The Troubled Ones played a kick ass show at the 2500 Club on Saturday. We didn't go on until about 11:30 or so I believe.

Set List:
The Troubled Ones
Champaign
Wednesday
On The Know
The Other Place (New song)
Disco Junkie
Honestly Unknown
The Tasty Part Of Life

A few mishaps from me. My floor tom went down on me at the beginning of TPOL and I twirled a stick right out of my hands on the same song. Glad I bought new sticks the day before.

I signed my first official autograph, bruised the hell out of my left index finger (banged it off of my snare) and hurt my left foot (hit the leg of my hi-hat closing it during a song). All in all, a successful show!!

On a different note, I get to meet Alan Alda again in a couple of days! WOOO! For those that never saw my entry from the first time I met him, click here!

Well, I'm off to go eat some tomato soup, watch Boston Legal and go to sleep. Night all!!

Well, my band The Troubled Ones played at the Emerald Theater the other night. We kicked ass. A few problems, but other than that, we did a great job. A lot of things to work on for the future.
