-Still broke. Think I have my money back, but I gotta make sure tomorrow before I start writing checks. Still worried about rent. This will be the last tour for awhile.
-My dad has a giant cyst behind his knee which has rendered him immobile and sleeping on the couch with crutches until who knows when.
-I set up the Christmas tree earlier this evening and it's defrosting in the living room. I think it may be tilting to the left.
-A friend has helped me with promotion for the Trunks & Tales show...maybe too much. I don't usually enjoy getting the local media involved when I'm booking shows so families can show up to watch a dude sing about burning down prisons and killing cops. Guess I'm just overwhelmed like everytime I book a show.
-Lemuria is touring this winter, but nowhere near here that doesn't require a passport. Fuck.
-Still watching bands I love do amazing things in seemingly simple fashions. What is so tedious and hard for me to do seems to easy for them. Where's the secret? Location? Talent? Do I suck? I don't know what I'm doing wrong.
-New song is coming along well. Super depressing. It's about quitting music altogether. I'd never do it, but it helps to sing about it and I finally got to say what I needed to say.
-Anxious for tour. Will I get the time off? I'll know tomorrow. Will I have enough CD's to sell? No. Will it be successful and change things just a little? I hope so. I need a pick-me-up.
-There are talks of other bands and such, but I'm not sure my heart is really in it right now.
-I'm now hell-bent on moving to PA. I know I keep talking about leaving, but it's worse now. So much worse. It's time to start working towards that. One more year after this one and I feel I might really lose it.
-Blades of Glory is on and it still sucks.
Not really sure what I'm doing here.
Heavy eyes in the early morning.
These words are blending together and I'm thinking about
the time when we had much more than this.
This hurts more than words could ever say.
I'm feeling worthless.
So we'll push on through the week to find ourselves
in the open arms of the people that we meet.
And for every endless day that it seems like we can't go on,
there are 20 minutes when we realize what we've been searching for.
This means more than words could ever say.
We're finally worth it.

There's a song tonight that I don't wanna sing.
It seems like I'm complaining about something I've lost interest in.
So I sing "ba da badbabababa, here we go again."
There's a crowd tonight that I'm not gonna please.
Feels I'm desperately reaching for something that was there for, like, a day.
It went away and now I have nothing left to say.
So I'm not gonna stay going "hey! hey! hey! hey!"
Baby, I won't impress you no matter what.
There's a man tonight that I don't wanna meet.
Everyone's competing to be famous.
I don't even wanna be on a list of D-Rate celebrities.
I think I'd rather leave.
I've got my bag over my sleeve and my ticket out of town expires tonight.
Hey, would you like me if I stayed forever young?
Well, it sucks, but no one does.
Get used to staying out of touch with everyone you'll ever meet.
Continue feeling awkward in all social surroundings.
I'm not feeling very young these daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaays.
BTMI!

Sooo...I'm not an idiot, right?
Now if I can just confirm my vacation time. Stupid procrastinating supervisors. If I don't get the time off, I am going to go mental. You will all have to deal with mental, alcoholic, bitter-as-fuck Justin for the remainder of the season. So keep your fingers crossed.
Also, 90% sure I'm moving to PA when the lease runs out. Philly, Bethelehem. One of the two. That state is cool as shit and it's at the epicenter of amazing lands and amazing bands.

For a little while now, I've constantly had this urge to announce once last show, play it and have that be the end of things.
If I thought I could actually follow through with that declaration, I would do so. But I can't.

It's a nice day for a walk in the past
All the memories that I thought would last are gone
and I'm stuck here with my self-loathing self once again.
I'm looking through every map I own just to see where I'll end up when I'm gone.
Cause I sure as hell ain't staying here anymore.
Another decision, another regret, another long night that I cannot forget
I'm standing here at the crossroads again, taking my first left
And maybe it's the wrong way, but I'm here to stay.
But maybe it's the right way, so I'm here to stay.
It's a nice day for a walk in the past.
All the memories that I thought would last are here, kept safely by my side.
