Feel Good Music

get down.

Lunch Break Blues

I’m just using this time to reflect on today. So many problems with today. I’m so glad its almost over. I’m irritated, pissed, sad, and any other negative emotion. Work sucks, weather is gloomy, heart is cold. I hope I wake up from this nightmare and find out I was just in a dream. Heavy eyes, heavier heart, fighting urges to talk to you so you can have your space. I want to fight for what I love yet if I love it enough, it will take care of itself. Fuck, my head hurts. Back hurts, head aches, eyes burning, please…let this day end.

Nothing left to do or say

i can’t help but touch your face on my phone. i can’t help but pretend to text you and delete all the information because i don’t want to bother you. i can’t help but long to hear your voice. i can’t help but wait to feel for your touch. i can’t help but feel this way. yet, my heart is broken because i don’t know what i did wrong. i can’t help but feel that what i said altered your thoughts towards me. i can’t help but hurt. my head hurts. my body hurts. my heart hurts. i wish i didn’t have work today. what a bad day to feel this way. raining and such.

i can’t help but love you. what happened to taking this relationship day by day?

p.s. yes, i deactivated my facebook.

Hey Mr. Rager

Where do I begin? 4:10am and I wish I just didn’t know what was going on. 4:11am and I’m blasting my music. Thank God my room is in the corner of the house. Music really does soothe the soul doesn’t it? Arteries and veins filled with fire right now. Nerves, uneasy. It’s been a while since I’ve felt like this. 4:12am My mom just came in the room to tell me to turn down my music. OK. Maybe my room isn’t invincible. “Knocked down round for round. You’re feeling like you’re shot down on the ground. When will the fantasy end, When will the heaven begin.”

The comforting texts of a friend fill my inbox. Texts that keep me sane. Texts that help me feel as if, “OK. Maybe I’m not feeling stupid for getting angry.” Texts from one great friend and texts from another that I met through my ukulele skills 🙂 Why? Why do I feel this way? Is it because I care too much for you? Is it because the jealous side of me is coming out? Is it because I don’t trust you? Or maybe it’s because I love you too much to let this one slide. Maybe it’s the fact that I offered to help and yet, I wasn’t a resort at all.

I’m off on an adventure

A Painting for You

Nothing is set in stone quite yet but the thought of it led me to this bed of tears. Yes. A grown man. Crying. Why? Because one of the most prominent figures in his life could be leaving. A year ago, whodda thunk we’d be together? Your face is plastered all over my phone. The thought of you courses through my brain even when I’m most inebriated. In previous relationships, I would find a way to get back at you. Find a way to make you feel the way I do. But this is different. You’re different. Here we were, a blank canvas with bright colors to paint with, leaving the darker colors towards the back of the studio because we don’t want to use them. But today, the dark colors are here. We painted our relationship with laughter and joy and here I am signing my name at the bottom in the darkest color in my arsenal of colors. An unfinished piece with so much potential, put on hold because the artists decided they couldn’t continue quite yet. Someday, I’ll hope to come back to this painting. To come back to you.

As the Day Wears On…

I’m trying to get my Ruckus ready for this weekend’s Super Sunday ride w/ 100+ Rucksters coming in from all over the country.

Happy Belated Singles Awareness Day

I See Your Body Lighting Up in the Moonlight

As I sit in this TinyChat room with April, Hazel, Rey, and Jon all I can think about is how much I miss late night chatting. It’s Valentine’s Day. Yes it is. I have been feeling really emo lately. I’ve been missing that piece in my life. Of course, I brought this upon myself but I’m ready for the next one. I think I’ve grown enough to understand the challenges life has ahead of me. At the same time, I’m not rushing into ANY relationship.

Call me picky and beggers can’t be choosers but I don’t want to settle for anyone. I’ve settled many times in the past and I don’t want to settle this next time around. I’ve had my eyes set on someone right now but I’m ready to move on because she is nothing but a friend and I’d rather not mess things up. I digress, I am ready for the next one.

I think of all this stupid money I’m spending on girls, dates that lead to nothing but friendships or even brick walls in the road. It’s stupid. I’m too nice I suppose. I love hanging with friends. So let me give you a low down on me. I want my next girlfriend to know:

I love my family more than anything in the world, even though I talk about how much I hate them.

I love my friends as much as I love my family. If you can’t get over my friends and the way they act, then you can GTFO. (disclaimer: there are acquaintances that don’t matter. Remember, friends that mind don’t matter and friends that matter don’t mind.)

I love cars. Game. Set. Match.

I got a couple BEST friends (Randy, April, and Reggie) so love them a little more than my friends.

That being said, I’m ready for you, whoever you are. I want to get to know you. Time is running out, please don’t make me wait.

We’re Always Running for the Thrill of it

So going back to my posts about being a jerk to get a girlfriend, I see why a girl would like that. They don’t want a pushover but at the same time, they don’t want an asshole. Ladies want a challenge, prove me wrong. I’ll never give into the JERK method. I believe in COCKY-FUNNY but definitely not the JERK method.

With V-Day becoming D-Day very soon, it becomes S.A.D. overnight (single awareness day). Call me a simp but I am going to be super lonely this Valentine’s Day. It hasn’t hit me until this year. I don’t know why. I’ve been single for almost 3 years now but for some reason, this Valentine’s is harder than most. I don’t want to be lonely but I don’t want to settle for just anyone.

That girl I like will now be a friend and only a friend and it makes me sad. I think about the chemistry we have/had and I think about “what could’ve been” and now I’m settling for “what’s already here”. Everyone I know that is single is getting into relationships or dating. It’s sad. I’ve found a couple new potentials but I don’t know what it is. I want to make the move towards you but I’m so scared of rejection. Who isn’t? I don’t want you to potentially be the one I let go. I don’t want to go home that night and think to myself on my lonely drive home, “WTF? Why didn’t I say something?!”

That being said, Happy Valentine’s Day slash Singles Awareness Day.

Happy S.A.D.

So this past week, the homie/bromie/cousin came to San Diego, we’ll call him David, to visit his wifey and others. We made a pact that when he is here, we would go out to the bars/clubs and do drink. Well, last night was a turn of events. He originally came here for a girl that I met through friends (I guess you can say that). I introduced David to this girl and they hit it off from the get-go… well, more like she hit him off from the get-go.

Yes, I said wifey. David is 21 years old with a wife but during this time, their marriage was going downhill. Wifey had enough of having to wait for David (David is stationed overseas) and David was tired of waiting, as well. Well, David met this girl, we’ll call her Trisha. Trisha and David really hit it off. It came to the point where David would leave the video games to simp (see urbandictionary.com for meaning) with Trisha. It didn’t really hit me at first but it got ridiculous.

Trisha and David were talking about getting dogs and David sent her flowers for her birthday and that is when shit hit the fan. David always wanted to be on good terms with Wifey but Wifey was way too hurt. Long story made short, David ended up reconciling with Wifey and totally dished Trisha.

Here’s where it gets interesting. David was supposed to fly out to San Diego to be with Trisha but it ended up being to be with Wifey after all. The homie Anthony and I were glad he did the “right” thing I guess but the way David handled it was really poor and he knows that.

Last night, @Mr_Moralde aka Reggie, @halfblack_mamba aka Burnett, and @nerdVITZ aka DAVID went out to PB Bar and Grill and it got really awkward. Here’s a play by play of what went down.

We went to PB Bar and Grill and David found out that Trisha was there because I invited her because she’s my friend, too. I didn’t expect either to say hi or hang out with each other anyways. Boy was I wrong. I saw some of the high school homies and we were chillin and then Trisha comes behind me and says what’s up. We made our way back to the table and Trisha said what’s up to EVERYONE except David and it was an instant joke to even be there.

The night wore on and the only thing separating Trisha and David at the table was me. Go figure. It got real awkward and I was super buzzed. My homie Anthony broke the ice and said they should at least ACKNOWLEDGE each other and say what’s up and David was like, “Hi. How are you?” It meant nothing. It even SOUNDED fake but it was said and Trisha said nothing in return. And that is where my night ended.

I’m very hospitable. I want EVERYONE to have a good time. Mind you, I spent about $150 on drinks last night. If I remember correctly, it was 13 shots of Hennessey, 13 Coke chasers, 3 Cokes for David, 2 Coronas, and 1 Hefeweizen. I want to take care of everyone. I don’t care how much money I have to spend as long as everyone is having a good time, and last night was until that point. Trisha was on her phone for the rest of the night. We all went to grab Mexican food afterwards and she didn’t step out of the car.

I want everyone happy and the way David handled the situation between him and Trisha was very poor. You guys are right, I’ll never understand but at the same time, I can put petty shit away for a good time. Call me a hater, call me whatever but I’m speaking the truth. I hate it when one person in my group is not even chillin. If you kick it with me (and if I’m buzzed enough), I’ll keep asking you “are you good?! ARE YOU GOOD?!” and my friends can attest to that. I want to be a great host. I want everyone to have a good time. That being said, I’m not gonna go out for a while anymore cuz last night straight pissed me off. My knuckles hurt this morning from punching the bench at that Mexican spot.

By the way, Happy Valentine’s Day.
