3:47 pm	what the fuck?!?! why is it so hard for me to do anything right, and why dont people stick to their word? ok so, i went to austin last weekend to have some fun and turn in some job apps, everything went great. i had very little money left and i decided it was, go and try to get a job in austin, or sit around in odessa unemployed and bored. once i got back to odessa everything productive that i had made happen that weekend fell apart. i got a call from the drafthouse on wednesday wanting me to come in for an interview today, i have been looking for apartments but, as you all know, you cant get an apartment without having money, and no money also means no trip to austin to get the job at the drafthouse, i know i have the job locked down too, only if i were there. i asked my parents for help and originally when i started this idea they were fully supportive and, willing to give me as much help as they could but, now they are singing to a different beat, and i must tell you all because of it i feel beat. today i sucked it up and decided that if i am going to move to austin its gonna be all on me, so i set out to find a job today and get a little bit of money back in my bank account, classifieds...apparently all these places are selectively hiring, why advertise if you arent actually hiring? or maybe its just me that they dont want to hire. one place i went the woman at the counter was shocked that someone came in to apply but, before i could finish filling out the application she went somewhere else and i tried to turn in the application to some man that worked there and he wouldnt even take the application out of my hand, and he told me they were fully staffed.  fuck that! once again, why advertise? the only jobs that arent filled in odessa is the jobs for idiots, im no idiot, but i can see that all the positions that i want are filled by fucking morons. i know ive said that i felt stuck before in this place, but now it feels like all 4 feet are stuck on the glue pad and, all i can do is wait for someone to come and put me out of my misery.  odessa, you win.

1:17 pm	brother can you spare a dime? last week from memorial day weekend saturday until this past saturday night was one of the best weeks of my life but, like all good things it had to come to an end and, when i got home i learned that i got "laid off" from my job. it wasnt really all that unexpected but, it sucks the same, sorry strippers...i cant pay you money i dont have, good bachelor party though. so the point of this i guess is, if you live anywhere other than odessa and you think you can get me a job where you live or where you already work please hit me up, i want to get out of this town and now i have nothing binding me, thanks if you are able to help me out at all in advance.

11:05 pm	you dont have to go to college...  in the prose of the animal collective and their vocoders, but some of us do, but luckily for me that ends as of tommorow at 8 p.m. at least until next semester. sometimes i wonder if i will ever graduate,  school has been a long process for me in the past but, this semester i have focused for the most part and recieved pretty good grades in return, except for biology. Fucking biology. how will i ever recieve my degree in botany if i cant get past biology? perserverence is the key. and a little bit of determination helps, but im really ready for summer, a whole lot of things have been happening recently that have tried to avert my attention but, now i will have time for foolish pleasures. summer i cant wait till you arrive.

6:16 pm	litter alright, alright, i know as adolescents we all did the rolling with toilet paper of other peoples, even sometimes random peoples houses, but i realized what a waste and how ridiculous it is this weekend. my neighbors house got tp-ed and they didnt even bother to clean it up, this would normally, and typically not bother me since it is an act of vandals and not nature, but no it is bothering me, actually it is pissing me off because it brings forth the knowledge that, people just dont give a fuck anymore, our planet and eco-system as a whole is falling apart and noone seems to worry about it. sure, Al Gore isn't the answer and i dont think that any politician or religious official could or will bring a stop to this but, people as individuals can. support your environment and allow it to develop, rather than destroying it without regard to future generations. call me crazy but, when i have children i want them to be able to explore the same if not better world than what i have been left with. hippie/environmentalist/labelmewhatyouwill.

9:56 pm	a long time coming well live journal, i actually forgot that you existed for a while, see ive been living on my own without many luxuries, and the internet and computer were those among the luxuries that got denies access to my life for the past year and a half, that is why you havent heard from me in over 2 years, but i think im back. i dont know how many people still use this or if there is any actual reason why i write in this but, i thought id stop in and say hello, since its been so long. if any of my friends are still on this i would like for them to contact me, it would be nice to get to talk to you all again after such a long hiatus.  (3 Comments |Comment on this)

11:37 pm	Black Out its awesome how a song can bring up a memory. Today at work i got bored so i started listening to Black Out by The Good Life, and as i listened to it all the memories that i had to those songs on that albums came to me. it made me think of all the things ive done and all the people that i miss because they've moved away, and how much fun we had when we just hung out. Track 4 on that album, i think of driving between Bryan and Austin TX with shay josh and chris after seeing Dillenger Escape Plan and ETID, i can think of sitting in my car outside of a show at Earl's singing to Josh to get a spot in Always in June, i can think of sitting in Shay's back room getting drunk trying to record Password tracks but getting to drunk and just talking music. those are a few things that that particular song makes me think of and smile, that is the magic of song and music, it puts you in a better place and makes you grateful for the times you've had. thank you Tim Kasher.

12:23 pm	The Claim of a Killer I'm beginning to see how this is going to end. you come out without a scratch, bearing your swords, and i have no armor to defend, from the swipes of the blade, my heart will catch. You claim to be a killer, but you're no good. All your attempts have failed. I'm bundled in blankets trying to stop the blood, Your wreckless attempts have merely left me impaled. Why must it always be, that i team up with the ones who deceive. and i can't open the truth to see, the person behind what my eyes perceive. In this time when my heart is ripped, all is resolved as this poison is sipped. my attempt at writing a sonnet. (1 Comment |Comment on this)

9:20 pm	ah this place makes me want to die odessa is sucking the life out of me. i am tired of this city and the scum that reside here, im tired of being looked at by these supposedly normal people and being considered a "freak" or "gay" or whatever they are thinking of me in their shallow little minds. the more people i hang out with, the more i realize that there is no one i really care for in this place except the people who i hang out with on nightly or weekly basis. the "scene" sucks. the more people show up the more i seem out of place at a place where i used to be comfortable. these youngsters are coming out of the wood work and they are just faces, i dont know them by name i dont care to, they see me on myspace and add me as if we were friends, well we arent and congratulations on your denial of my friendship, sorry kid-o's. This promoter that looks like hes 45 but is actually younger than i, brings all these kids to the shows and gets in their virgin vag's. i think, im not really sure of anything anymore. life spirals in these moods of good and bad and now its just right in the middle and i dont know anything. me, who used to be so sure of everything and so opinioned in what he believed isnt sure of anything. yep im lost world, im yours if you want me if not leave me alone.

10:35 pm	so... in the past couple of weeks i have been entirely too busy, a couple of events have past that made me sad but in a good way: Shay left for San Marcos, this makes me sad because i didnt get to buy and give him his gift before he left and i also didnt get to record the best password song of all history(even though people with no knowledge of music are partial to the song we did about the fourth of July titled "a deadly celebration"). the reason i didnt get to record and all of that good stuff is because i have run myself ragged with all my after work things. i am now booking rock shows which leads to event number 2: i held a show for Anathallo and Colour Revolt, these are two amazing bands and they should have had a huge crowd watching them, but alas i could count the people that i knew there on one hand. the show went well as far as performance and fun, but i lost about 150 dollars out of the deal to meet my guarantee. ive been so busy lately that i come home and sleep rather than getting on the computer and checking my updates and what not. i havent been able to spend time with an important girl in my life die to the fact that she started back up in school and i work nonstop and when i get out of work i still chug along until i cant function anymore in a day. school starts back up soon so that means work hours cut down which means cory has more free time for those who are important to him. shows in the future i know im gonna be disappointed by the turn out but i have to be happy with the show and throw out the cash to have some better shows in odessa. hopefully soon i can begin to write more stories for you all to enjoy and contemplate, but for know good-bye.

11:46 pm	if i had only known that life would have been this hard well it starts out like shit and ends a little worse, but who am i to tell about how badly life treats us all. i am just another victim to the cycle. It may be easier if people would stop being so fucking pretentious and stupid, and just let their emotions take control, rather than trying to control their emotions with their mind. true the mind is an amazing thing and you can control just about everything with it but, emotions run deeper somehow they tear through the brains defenses and get to the heart of the matter, emotions are indirectly controlled by the mind anyway so people just let it happen. love is there and it is gonna happen so dont try to stop it everyone would be much happier if they didnt let their minds get in the way of their hearts.

9:16 pm	food poisoning, vegas, and the thrill of life on the road. well, i just got over battling the endangered species, artchuleta, and in a long and drawn out battle i defeated, food poisoning. it was developed when i ate a burrito delivered to me from the brown death in a beat up ford bronco, damn cheap food people, who knew you could nearly die from eating a burrito out of a aluminum foil bag? also in a couple of days my parents are going to las vegas for their anniversary, hopefully i wont be too bored without them being in town, and it rained today, last time it rained i got rear ended, this event made me realize just how much i hate cars and the people who they allow to drive them, especially when it rains in a city that doesnt get a whole lot of rain, people just seem to get dumber when this happens. with that loss of intelligence comes a loss of their basic motor skills, and people get in car accidents. but life isnt all so bad, im well, didnt die today, didnt get food poisoning again(avoiding burrito delivery man will have something to do with this in the future), and i have some good friends, some are leaving me and i will miss them dearly. oh yeah i got a crazy e-mail from a supposed prince and he wanted me to go to his country and help him get back his father's 24.6 million dollars in the form of diamonds and bring them back to america where he now resides, i would have recieved 25% of his fortune had i followed through with these obsurd plans, but i denied because i already have a dangerous job.

10:32 pm	neglect i have really been taking the internet and all its glory for granted. i have been so busy lately doing nothing that i forgot how fun it is just to sit here and do more nothing. today i went to a friends house and recorded a song, its good and i am really satisfied with the things we have been able to do lately. im hard to satisfy because i know i could do better im just too lazy to apply myself to anything. that and i work way too much, my job is taking the life out of me, through all of this however i have discovered to enjoy the smaller things in life. for example: Bush's sweet tea(supposedly they have the best and now im convinced), taco bells jalapeno sauce(its so good on anything), and breathing. the latter is something that i think all people take for granted, maybe stupid people shouldn't talk so much because they are taking away all the fresh air and replacing it with recycled hot air that just resounds, and is sent through the same process over again. i still enjoy drinking with friends and making music. My neurosis is a strange thing, it occurs in the times that i would least want it to, like at work. i always hear things that arent there when i am at work and its weird and i dont know what to think about it, i miss the days when i was somewhat sane.

10:31 pm	fun things to think about once upon a time there was a lemming named upton, he was a small lemming, smaller than most lemmings, i suppose you could call him a midget lemming, anyway back to the story, Upton learned that lemmings migrate as he grew older, and he had heard stories of lemmings falling to their fate during their migratory pattern, you see lemmings live in very mountainous areas and in these areas there are many steep inclines and cliffs, many older lemmings told stories of family members and friends falling off these cliffs to their death, needless to say this terrified little Upton. The days past and Upton had heard that the weather was about to turn cold, meaning that it was almost time for the lemming tribe to migrate. Well the day came and the lemmings joined in their groups and began to run for warmer climates, Upton noticed the groups getting smaller and smaller as they ran further, and was sure the rumors that he had heard were true, all of a sudden(while in thought of the rumors), Upton fell of a cliff. His body lying at the bottom of the cliff his family didnt even notice or stop, lemmings are very selfish creatures, after the dust settled from all the surviving lemmings that had passed, Upton's body was discovered by an inctograd(ill tell more of these creatures later), who swept his lifeless body up and took him to his home where Upton became a part of yerwin the inctograd's "strange and stupid creature" collection. He was put in a glass jar, and a cage (for effect), and became a part of the "yerwin's traveling strange and stupid creature hullabuloo". (2 Comments |Comment on this)
