Inspired by life's ebb and flow...

Have a happy AHHHH…The Needles!! Day


You sat there too long didn’t ya? You lost circulation in 88% of your devious little feet and now they’ve gone to sleep. Well, you going to sit there and smirk about it all night or are you going to walk it off? You lazy bastard. As you stand up though, use extreme caution, making sure you’ve only lost your feet. If you’ve lost your knees too, you’ll fall over on your pointy mug and it’ll hurt way worse, as its not numb. If your face is deadened however then immediately adjust your social habits to exclude plump individuals sitting on it. Don’t get carried away though, as in some situations, having a sexy young lass straddle your forehead can be quite enjoyable. If you sit around in your lazy boy on your day off watching the daily marathon of trading spaces, while gawking unnaturally at Paige’s ass, and your own ass falls asleep, take off your belt and give yourself the ass-whooping you deserve. If you find out through all of this that you enjoy it in sort of a twisted way, try sitting on your hand for a minute or two to achieve the deadness before masturbating. You’ll call it “the stranger” and you’ll come to discover, what makes it most remarkable is the confusion of the senses that render you helpless in determining exactly what part of your body has the needles. Tomorrow you and your girlfriend will do handstands until all of the blood has rushed into your meaty heads and you’ll fuck for 8 minutes before yelling out with agonizing delight, “Ahh the needles!!”

Have a happy AHHHH…The Needles!! Day

Was it so terrible that I did 5 years of marching band? Come on now... I enjoyed it so i just sort of did it. yeah, i suck at school. i get that but im not sure thats something that can be criticized also unless you were paying for my tuition but wait... i was paying for it so i obviously thought i would do better but then i really didnt and im done for awhile. yes, i drank a lot. it sort of became my persona which was pretty tight. hey, look at how many people do the same thing and yall all love them so fuck off trying to say it was so wrong of me, especially since i wasnt drinking alone. who here has not made a mistake? trau dat. i made two mistakes on new years... Giving a damn at all that i was being ignored by one person and then trying to leave a bit too soon. thats in the past to me, but im sort of forced to defend because of an email i got that basically has me all fucked up. so continuing onward... UH did a lot for me and i never implied otherwise. I dont feel the need to be right all the time but i also wont kick back, out of sight and let people talk shit about me. yes, it is true, as i hear all about what is said from more than a few people. why i put mine in a blog is just because it reaches the same audience of what im counteracting. i really dont care who doesnt like me. its jealousy and inabilty to control me that pisses all of you off. i dont want pity. i want people to think im an asshole. dont you get it? i would much rather fight a person who feels sorry for me than one who hates my guts because at least hatred is honest. do i know though what its like for people to turn their backs on me? hell yeah i do. this is the second time its happened to me. this time im not trying to win them back. fuck them. fuck everyone. Houston is a city with over 4.5 million people. no way ill be so concerned about a dozen or so assholes, most of whom cant get their own shit together. so lets say it leaves me with four good friends. tight... lets see... 60 hour work weeks and 4 friends. seems like a good balance to me. oh, speaking of the work week, tying it back to criticizing me for my education, when youre in your 3rd year as a band director it may or may not hit you that ive had a higher income than yours for 5 years. wow... that degree doesnt seem so damn impressive now does it? i guess since i know ill be just fine financially, forever, why worry about school right now anyway? I am Trizzle, the name given to me by my peers, most of whom seem pissed that the obstacles that ive faced havent broken me. I dont mean to ever imply that this is all because of a girl. yes, i made mistakes and i think ive admitted to those. yall know i lost my best friend over all this bullshit but he seems content in doing what hes doing so im not too dissapointed in that. the realization is though that since 1/1/04, i have a new car, a new job and my own apartment and in a way i think thats what pisses you off the most. havent you all learned by now that i will rise above anything? dont you see that my iron will will not allow me to be held down? cant you understand that my arrogance is just an illusion, as im not cocky, im just that incredible? well, anyway, i wont say im better than anyone else but damned if im not just as good. i think anyone who has a problem with me needs to take it up with me after the show.

Its funny. When something in your life needs to change, it just sort of does. Before you realize it, youve evolved into someone more suitable for the environment you live in. I can look back in my blog to the problems I had as far back as ten months ago and recognize how those issues worked themselves out. Things happen for a reason. I had quite a few friends a year ago that I have lost since then. While I will always have fond memories of the good times we had together, I wont miss them, because they evolved to their needs and i evolved to mine. If life dictates the loss of several more then thats cool too. There are a handful of my friends that are so dear to me and close to me that we change together and thats just how it was meant to be. I'm still really close with two people from high school and then there are the UH band people... not the newbies... the old ones, that you just know are your friends for life. I remember when i knew no one at UH and a nice young girl opened up her apartment to a group of crazy strangers from band who would go on that year to become crazy friends. i miss the ones who graduated and are doing grown-up things now. I tried really hard to hold onto my youth but its obviously faded into the limelight. im not trying to get old though, thats for sure. i guess what hurt me most socially was my immaturity, which by the way is what made me fun to be around at that time. ill admit though that i am a different person than i was a year ago and although my modulation (and that of others also) has left me with just a handful of close friends, its nice in a way because for the first time in my life, they are honest-to-goodness, real friends.

Wouldnt have been easier to either not treat me like i was some punk-ass bitch or just apologize for what you did? Crazy.

Webster's defines drama as a human course of events. Although it seems likely that each human will, at some point in life, create, promote, hear of or otherwise become a part of drama, I have to disagree with this definition. So what is drama in the real world and how should it be defined in an ideal world? In attempt to answer this, lets look at other words like etiquette, respect, empathy and friendship. Drama is what occurs when one or more of these words is overlooked or forgotten. Less than ideal situations will arise because, yes, this is life and that’s part of it. However, there is never an excuse to be impolite. As your mother would say, "Where are your manners?" Oh, you forgot those when you decided that since you’re in college you are suddenly an adult and can disrespect others. d.r.a.m.a. Yes, there are times when you need a shoulder to cry on. How dare you not share yours and expect mine in return? d.r.a.m.a. You ask for others to be understanding to the problems that you are coping with but when things are going well for you, all you can return is ridicule to those who just want a considerate friend. d.r.a.m.a. Finally you claim to be a friend but don’t have a clue what that even means. Friendship isn’t something that’s always convenient but once you pledge it, backing out is permanent. If you are that self-absorbed just do everyone a favor and live in isolation but don’t expect it to solve the drama issues. Those, emit strictly from you and your buddy, the ever popular “drama squad.”
