OH yeah...

Hats on Monday, don't forget. And I'm probably going to keep the pants as is too, get them drycleaned, maybe. Heh. I don't know.

Just making sure we all remembered.

'Cuz we're all drunk now.

WHOO :)
Rotting Christ once said, "It took an instant; the struggle was sharp...I remember what you had said: the challenger will prevail,"

And so it is true, in a many of ways, 'tis true. And why is this?

SECOND PLACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SECOND PLACE MEANS VICTORY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND NOW...................

State, and this time, we have plenty of time to work on it. Today was a sweep for us, considering the amount of effort prior and our total improv times before...we actually ran over the time limit. But it didn't matter, we still beat out Centennial even if they did finish. Which means we can clean up at state with some work.

At first I had thought we were counted down on teamwork because of my showoffishness...then I remembered Franklin's "Harp Girl", who did almost the same thing. So I guess it was simply that we were first, and set as a standard against the rest. That definitely contributed to our downfall...well, perhaps that's too strong of a word. With our work, we could've had first.

I must say, "GO TEAM!", we were fraggin' GREAT compared to the beginning, where we figured we were going to be slaughtered and abdicated from a mere shot at state. So we won by default, we still got second and went first.

So...Sarah, Will, Elizabeth, Rosie, even Lindsey for the first practice, and me too!,

HURRAH! CONGRATULATIONS!

This is the day.

I feel a twist of nausea permeate the recesses of my box of a soul, filling the life force therein, corrupting the stuff of mortal existence with unescapable, tumultuous urges to vomit whatever went undigested from the past week or so. As I sit here at this monitor, being bombarded by light gamma rays or whatnaught, eating some leftover chips from my last meal at my grandmother's, and sipping a Cherry Coke with bemused fervor, I feel it, that twisting, serpentine hand of fear disassembling the scraps of my rationality, decaying the origins of my learning and assimilation of scenarios. I feel screwed.

Last night I was assigned to get duck tape for the DI team. Little did we remember, and my grandmother did, that we are in the middle of a "fear terrorism" mentality and people have bought all duck tape and plastic with which to secure windows against the threat of viral warfare.

People, if the germ wants in, it'll get in, don't worry your poor, illogical, and incoherent heads.

With the two rolls given to me by my grandmother, and the one I found at the store while stocking up on my antiterroristic formula, caffeine, it gives us a grand total of SCREWED. The ones given me are strange...one is huge and yellow, while the other roll is...dirty. It has particles all over it.

Most likely, however, we have enough.

I woke to my sister's alarm clock, who, by the way, isn't at this house this weekend. It's Getting Hot In Herre, the slut anthem of the new millenium, blasting through her open door, the new cat, Camille, scratching on mine. I was frankly overwhemled by this chaos...bombs really are louder in the morning, especially to teenage boys who sleep. I rolled out of bed, scratching my frazzled scalp and rubbing the sleep for my eyes as I headed to the pandemonium out there, the Leviathan of noise called Nelly.

After five minutes of experimenting on how to turn off the alarm clock in the dark, and achieving my goal (worse, it happened to be my old one), I walked to the shower as slowly as possible, dreading the dire results of it ending. So, using your powers of deduction, one could ascertain that this shower consumed a quantity no less than that of the Nile's daily flow of water for five thousand years. As it ended the anxiety of which I spoke settled in on my shoulders and started shaking me, choking my being to mutate into a child of his disorder. Staving him is getting sufficiently harder with every glance at the clock, and seeing as how computer have said wonderful device somewhere on every screen, his iced grip colds my being with the seconds that wake.

The tick, tick, the incessance of the clock begins to drive me to chaotica, a state of complete euphoric insanity, humanity enveloped with the penchant to destroy in a mad and fearful wake. The tick is louded now, slower, it multiplies and divides faster than its amoebic kin (or is becoming as such at this point), I see my fingers smashing the keys at tremendous speeds, letting the blood from each repeated strike dance upon my lined, tired visage, my heart quickens, my brain begins thinking sans rationality, but with much in speed that the normal self would desire.

The world commences spinning out of control, the clocks are a wall of noise, my heart, on the verge of imploding on itself with its unending repetetions, the bag, once full of chips, both cheesed and plain, now on my head, suffocating my burning lungs, and the suffocation is a release from the madness, but soon becomes another twisted limb of its endless desire to give birth again to, to whelp again, to create one new life in the masses of a sentient being again.

into darkness this time, and he feels the warmth of EUPHORIA, in nomine, ave euphoria, carry me away on your lusty back, your thoughts intuned to naught but contentment, the soul waits in purgation as the body, soulless but with none to control its spirit but nature
UNLEASHES? a veritable Gotterdammerung upon the nations of earth, moreover upon his house, now being pummeled by unquenched human REWOPpower as it consumes his form, even death is an illusion, even death is a puppet deathisminedeath is my lovesheismy lover and i am the king and OBLIVION is my servant and suddenly

I realize, it was from drinking caffeine this early in the morning. I pick up the fallen bag and throw the can in the sink, where it, like everything on the planet, will be washed and recycled in time. Nature prevails once again, she replenishes both herself and the spirit of those upon her. And for me, rationality has prevailed once again.

I, with rushing spirit and unconquerable indomitablity, and a MAJOR surge of caffeine, forth into the unknown, I ride the winds of creation into a new age, one of competetion not of feats of strength and show, but of the minds, where thought is the strongest weapon, and thoughts gauge themselves in power with each mind. Together, they are weapons of feared power, or they are unstable, as atoms, fickle bonds apt to split in seconds.

I feel the warm coils of my mentality slide back into place. Now with the surging thoughts and enforced spirit

I am invincible.

God, I hope you people are ready to read.

I feel like fucking Charlie Brown, everything I do seems to be wrong.

It's as if I owe everyone something, as if there is no one else but them and I owe my entire lives to these people. And because of that, do any of you think I move anymore, do you think I breathe anymore, or live? Do I do anything? Of course not, I'm too afraid that if I do, someone is going to get pissed off at me.

And no, all of you "fickle Joshua" people, this isn't just about Leigh Anne. This is about Alex and Nick and Rosie and scores, LEGIONS of others. They all expect me to "their" Josh when in fact I am simply struggling to be "my" Josh. I don't owe any of you anything past my friendship and occasional undivided attention, and I make damned sure of that every single second. I don't owe you an expected personality, nor do I owe you what you are wanting to hear versus what I am going to tell you. By god, I'm going to say what I want. Because obviously the rest of you are taking these rights, and I have EVERY FUCKING PEROGATIVE IN THE ENTIRE WORLD TO DO THE SAME FUCKING THING. I'm not for you, I'm for me, just as is everyone else. I have thoughts, I want them to be heard. I have ambitions, I want them to draw breath no matter how foolish they are. I want me. It's what I've wanted all this time isn't it? I wanted to be my own rather than a servant to my thoughts. It's becoming severely impaired as of late. If I think of or talk about person A then person B gets angry or starts prodding at me, and vice versa. Now throw about a thousand more letter combos in there, welcome to my life.

I'm sure Philip could attest, the poor guy, he has every right not to give a fuck about Becca or Rosie, either and both. He could just say "Goddamit, get away from me you fucking psychopaths," in not so many words, and I would applaud him and pat him on the back, and if he said the same to me I would just nod and walk away. Why, because Philip is exercising his right to liberation. Non serviam, do you all know what that means? I serve no man. And that's exactly right. I'm getting fucking FED UP with this mental servitude, these shifting alliances. All of my friends hate each other foundlessly and SOMEONE AT THE FOCAL POINT GETS TORN TO PIECES because of it. I owe THEM, no, I owe THEM. That's what I felt like in the first post on this BLog, I just didn't know how to voice it, but now I see it so clearly that it sickens me to death.

TO ALL OF YOU RIGHT HERE AND NOW: I DESIRE YOUR GOING TO HELL IF YOU THOUGHT FOR ONE SECOND I WAS YOURS TO COMMAND, IF YOU THOUGHT THAT I OWED IT ALL TO YOU, GO TO HELL AND GET THE FUCK AWAY FROM ME. How DARE any of you impede upon my right to live, how DARE any of you find my thoughts on people and things as false, HOW DARE YOU CONTROL ME. I'm sorry to death, but I have no pity for those of you who would look upon this post as a meer fit of rage. It's about time I woke up and started listening to reality. Lindsey, for instance, she NAILED one night when she called. I don't remember anything, hardly anything, but I remember it being along these lines, perhaps not intentionally but it got there to me. And perhaps that wasn't what she wanted me to get out of it, but it is what I am getting out of it.

So goddamned tired of feeling the fool for everyone else. I will not be yours.

Non serviam.
The song Non Serviam is weird.

Comes from the album of the same name, it's just weird; traditional Rotting Christ, but weird. I don't like it.

So the deal is, DI is going to eat this entire weekend. All Friday, all Saturday, I won't get home 'til 1498247591275 o'clock on Saturday. And I'll be carrying about a thousand Cokes with me too. So I'll be completely psyched out for the competetion. It's going to be fun and stupid. Mostly since we're heading into almost certain defeat with nearly cheery countenances.

My family is a bunch of warmongers.

Again, I hear the corruption running rampant in my loyal coruptees. It's actually getting to be a guilty pleasure. And I know that those involved will use such prhases as "WELL! See if I (insert actions here) again!" Those actions are mostly "talk to you". And of course, in five minutes, they do. REMEMBER, YOUR CORRUPTION IS YOUR OWN AND YOU ARE ASKING FOR IT, I DON'T GIVE ANY OF THIS SHIT VOLUNTARILY, I AM COAXED TO IT. SO SHUT UP.

My bum hurts. Stupid cats.

And PRAY for me this weekend. Just hope, at least, that I don't go mad from the anxiety. I neglected to mention to the team that I am a dunce in public competetions.

Whoops.

2.26.2003

Ummm, I just remembered something.

I was convicted with corrupting another girl yesterday. She's about the seventh girl claiming as such.

It really bother me since my dad was the same, and if any of you know anything about my dad, you'd agree that you really wouldn't want to be walking that path. It's interesting, true, but it sort of plays on my angel/devil complex at the same time. Yes, even I can have a sensitive spot towards formerly innocent girls whom I have turned to sex by any means.

Jeezus, makes it a lot worse thinking of it that way.

O wow.
Today was also cool. It took long enough to get that way.

It was deemed, as I woke, that we would be two hours late. This is gay, though I, as I took my shower and sat around. I entered in Khronos into my WinMedia database and played some guitar, also took some time to listen to those wonderful satanic ballads. Then, our despair closed in as, despite a profuse and deep iced rain, they would not call us even and let us out.

So we were walking out the door when, for the fifth time that morning, we got a call. My grandmother had the guile to inform us that school was out. Preposterous, we said, we checked it just five minutes ago. LIAR. Although channel three was a black screen, and we assumed they were changing it so that, just secretly, we agreed with our grandmother that they really did close it. The first channel we came to said au contraire, still two hours late.

After much of this lollygagging, I just said, "Turn it to channel three again,", where we were greeted with the much-loved "Get the FUCK outta here!" sign/"School is closed for Wednesday, February 26, 2003" Powerpoint slide. That was enough for us.

I called my cousin, who was expecting us any minute and shouted the good news. He called back about two seconds later, shouting every blasphemy possible against the school system, with which I shouted all the ones he missed. Then Alex called and I put off the session, I suppose, at the very moment, as my mom wouldn't drive that far in the ice, despite how little ice it was. I went to Seth's to play the updated Counterstrike. We played that stuff alllllllll day, then we played Team Fortress and kicked ass/got our asses kicked on there. We cooked a pizza, and just as it was done, my mom called and says "We're getting Nick and Jerry's (or some two names, it just really good pizza that you have to cook yourself, youse goys know what it is), you guys want some?" And Seth was preaching the goodness of those pizza persons, so we put the cooked pizza in the 'fridge and waited for mother. Then we had some of that pizza which was really good, and I went home.

So I go up to my room and started typing a George Washington Carver essay, I got it done for the most part, and I started reading. Then I felt more tired than I ever have in my life, I think. I put down the book and passed out for about three hours. When I woke up, I hear the phone ring about five times. I didn't even budge, I just pick'd up the book and went back to reading. I went downstairs later, where I heard dinner was being made; then I took control of the computer and here I am, typing this completely pointless essay on my life. I just wanted to type a bit. I'm probably just going to go back to sleep in a minute, I'm serious. I think I have lethargy disorder; it was brought to my attention as I noted my nap from yesterday.

So *yawn* all. And tons of scary shit this weekend.

It makes me hope we lose.

2.25.2003

Today was cool.

I woke up dead. Then I walked out in the hall and heard "no school". Then I went back and laid down. Then I got a call three hours later, "DI".

Fuck.

So then I get back from that and go back to sleep, and then go to lessons only to find out I have no lessons. So I go home after waiting 1000 years for my sis to get out of hers. Then I go home and am sitting here tying this now. Kind of pissed off, if you realized.

I'm going to sleep, this week has been hell as is.

Sorry for lakk of k-age.

God.

I met the koolest person through Leigh Anne last night. Her name is Rondel Linder, she lives in Australia.

Quite possibly the smartest person I have ever met...very, very cool. She gave me a few titles that I'm going to have to kheck out, mostly about European history and psychology. She's really analytikal and not judgmental at all, which surprised me quite a bit, konsidering the hordes of smart people I know that take everyone at face value.

I wish I liked making ultra-emotional posts now...I could make a great one, sinke today is sukking. But I probably won't. I'll just go home and suffer in silenke.

"Yeah, it goes away," says Layne Staley.

That's like the second time I've quoted Layne as the bell was ringing.

Weird-o.

2.23.2003

I got Khronos this weekend! Yes!

Well, it's pretty good. Now, I've got a little beef with this song, My Sacred Path, it uses the lyriks of parts of the songs Glory of Sadness and If It Ends Tomorrow...weird. And the inside art work is...just weird. But it's a good album. I listened to Glory of Sadness first off.

But then I spent the rest of the weekend listening to Between Times, and it's AWESOME still. Ok, getting bored with it a little. But, I kan't bring Khronos with me anywhere, konsidering the rotting, krukified Jesus on the cover. Shit.

Getting A Dead Poem next. I WANT IT.

Elftown is funny.

G'bye.
