went on a long walk today.
time to think.
went from my house to hermosa.
i saw my cat colours.
had a sauce sandwich.

in other news the house we were looking to get is no longer on craigslist.
im thinking we are out of a house.
charlie is still unreachable.

it feels as if a lot has changed, not progressed.
i'm starting to get really anxious because the majority of my good friends are moving away so soon.
i don't really know what i'm going to do.

the summer has been a slow decline into the inevitable.
i'll try to be positive, but who knows.
remind myself not to destroy everything.

or for the full story:

seriously.
this is getting ridiculous.
things keep disappearing from my house.
here is a list in chronological order from 2 weeks ago up till now.

1. $200 or maybe more.
2. 2 dub sacks.
3. mariokart for wii

i understand thats not a lot of things but definitely things of value.

first of all... $200 when im in oregon/washington. fuck you. dont know how to begin on this one. but... fuck you.

second. 2 dubs is understandable but when they are on the night that you purchased them, and they disappear completely (im talking about cleaning the entire house and not finding them) its ridiculous.

and

third. MARIOKART. WHAT THE FUCK. that was the 2nd copy that i had to purchase because somebody fucking broke my first one. so i bought this one and now its completely missing. again a full house search through every single dvd, xbox, ps2, wii, and cd cases around the television. now i really dont want to buy a 3rd one because the people that said that would help me replace the 2nd one didnt even give me any money. so now im short a really awesome game and another $100 on 2 games that are gone. i really hope this re-appears when im moving. really really really.


aside from that things are alright.
ive been working a bunch this week.
making money.

as far as a house goes...
i really have no idea. we are looking at this one place but we need to turn in a bunch of paper work and i dont think that we fill the requirements of the rental company so we may not have a house at all... we'll just have to stick around and wait...

Ж-Men...but not the ones you might expect!
This week LJ Russia launched Ж-Men, a new comedy series about superheroes, inspired by the LJ communities dedicated to superheros, comics and cartoons. The title's "Ж" comes from ЖЖ, the nickname for LiveJournal in Russia.

Ж-Men's script is written by a group of LJ enthusiasts who also happen to be television professionals. Who knew? Following the premiere, five more episodes will be broadcast over the next two weeks. We hope you find the series fresh and enjoyable.

This is, of course, an experiment for LiveJournal. As always, we'd love to hear what you think!

oh_my_tatt
A place for showing off and discussing tattoos.

I, I can remember
Standing by the wall
And the guns shot above our heads
And we kissed as though nothing could fall
And the shame was on the other side
Oh we can beat them forever and ever
Then we could be heroes just for one day
(Mitte's Backpacker Hostel is making a point to make me fall in love. David Bowie.)

Tomorrow night, the journey will be over.

my trip is finally winding down to an end.
we just drove back from my uncle's town called Winatchee which is famous for its delicious apples and cherries (which are actually really really good)
as a whole winatchee was fun.
definitely the most mellow 4th of july ever.
hung out at my uncle's house which had an amazing view of washington and his entire town.
ate more food. (ive been so well/over fed on this trip its great)
then shot off some mortors to celebrate our independence.
then hit up a wal-mart and my eldest cousin got us some beers.
my cousin bought a gallon jug of water and made a sweet grav out of the bathtub in our hotel.
we had a good time with both of those items.
then the 4 of us (zack, adam, vanessa, and i) went in the pool, jacuzzi, and sauna.

then the 5th was my grandma's 85th bday which was the whole purpose of the trip.
my fam went out to breakfast and it was really good.
then went back to our uncle's house and did the same thing as the day before and ate a bunch of food.
then went to the hotel and watched some adult swim with my cousin adam and ptfo'd.

im really stoked i got to hang out with my cousins.
specifically adam because he is fucking awesome.
totally into metal and has this awesome band called Heathen Shrine.
they are Black Metal/Grindcore/Death Metal i believe.
they are super good/talented.
my cousin does vocals and guitar at the same time and its super intense.
http://www.myspace.com/heathenshrinepdx is their myspace.
none of you will probably like it but you have to appreciate that shit.
SO FAST. SO METAL.

anyways.
we drove back from my uncle's this morning which was a 10-11 hour drive through a lot of washington and into oregon where we currently back in ashland.
tomorrow we are leaving to go back home.
should be interesting because of the 2 back to back long ass drives.
lots of time spent in a car either driving or sleeping.
but im excited to be back home.
missing so many peeps.
