Why am I such a wreck? I'm not sure. I think I need to stop attracting attention to myself. I've resolved to be as boring, as accepting, as bland as anyone could want me to be. I understand that I have flaws, I'd never deny that. I understand that sometimes I'm wrong, and that's okay.

I understand that sometimes the people around me are even more psychotic than I am. Particularly.

I can't write a song for the life of me.

I could use some friends that actually give a shit about me. I could use someone a little closer to the fold who doesn't fly off the handle. I have to make myself of worth somehow.

I'm sick of spending all my nights at home, but baby, there's nowhere to go. There's not a fucking hip thing to do in this town, and there's nobody who'd want to come along.

I understand that writing things like this in a fucking whiny livejournal post is just ridiculous. I've actually written two posts within a month. Shocker.

I don't like you.

I did like you for a while.

But then you started going back and doing the things you used to do.

EVERY TIME I tell you about it, you change your ways for a while.

And I like you for that while.

But then you start going back and doing the things you used to do.

Ohhh Maybellene, why can't you be true?

I feel horrible.

More and more I feel like I don't really want to talk to anyone. I feel like I've been flakier than ever before, and mostly because my truck is broken. But deep down, there's a part of me that just wants to not go anywhere or do anything. I'm so burnt out.

Just about everyone I talk to tires me out. I feel like such a bad person saying it. And I don't want anyone who reads this to get butt-hurt by what I say here. So quit taking things personally for a second and hear me out. I'm so so tired. I just want things to be easy, for a week.

My dad's upset because his business is having problems, and he's been trying to get me to help there. But I'm tired, and the heat is getting to me, in a negative way.

I can't remember a damn thing.

All of chuck berry's songs start the same way....

On thursday, my truck broke down. I limped my ass back home, and then went to visit my aunt, who was visiting a friend in Parkfield. On our way home, around nine thirty at night, we had a playhouse in the back of our truck. A gust of wind from a passing semi blew the house out of our truck. It hit the pavement and pieces of it were spread all over the road. Another semi going east hit a part of the roof of the house and it broke a light or two on the truck itself. We got all of the pieces off of the road and took apart what was left of the playhouse and stacked it in the back of our truck (which is probably what we ought to have done in the first place). We finally made it home by 11 or so. I got kyla home around 1:30 am and fell asleep at 2. Because my truck was broken, I had to hitch a ride to work on friday with my dad. Since he leaves the house early, I woke up at 4am and worked until about 2:30 or 3pm the next day. I haven't slept much at all, at all, at all.

Yesterday, my amazon order came in, and I bought a couple of movies at wal-mart in the seven dollar bin. I got:

Mystery Science Theater 3k - disc set number 6
Jason and the Argonauts
Christine
Mysterious Island
Beginning of the End
The Fly/Return of the Fly (double feature)
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea/Fantastic Voyage

----------------------

Today, if I can find a blank tape, Alex and I are supposed to record some of our songs. I wrote a new one today, so he'll have to learn it. Kyla might learn some drumwork while Alex is in Washington. He said that we could use his drumset.

Walter Mitty’s Desert Romance
By: Ryan Tucker

I want to live in the desert.
Art there doesn’t mean anything but scenery,
I’m tired of artists that live by the sea.
There’s no more place here for me than tits on a bull,
my dad’s dad would say it that way.

In the concrete jungle, steam lingers dumbly over grates
people talk with their mouths full and lines are long.

Me moving to the desert is just like Walter Mitty.
I could drive a thousand miles and never touch hard red clay
I could see a million diner tables and never see a mesa.

I hear more about things than see them,
and I’ve heard a lot about Arizona,
I guess it rains big drops in the summertime.
That sounds fine to me, I’ve never lived anywhere that wasn’t bone dry.

--------------------

As an aside, I've realized that all my work is about wanting to live somewhere else. If I ever lived somewhere else, I'd want to live somewhere else again. Yucca plants and thunderstorms sound like they might be nice, though. Let me know what you think, and stuff. Because for all my life, you'll never shake my hobbies.

Wish I could be a writer, but writing takes too much passion. Hopeless devotion to lost causes and working ones self to the bone in order to... sell a book for negative income. My desire to fuel capitalism has outdone my desire to provide beauty to the world. POR QUE I have come to an understanding with the world, that beauty is about beholders and people with all of the holdings control what is beautiful, and that's all there is to it. The world understands me too, because translators for capitalism come in all sorts of dollar signs. One's an S, one's a Y, one's an L, and one's an E. SLY... E. Money is sly and it's working to eradicate the weak by making the stronger simply stronger and to hell with it, where's the money to come from? Where's MY money coming from? I guess menial labor has been alright to me, but mind expanding it isn't.

Verbal Vomit over an electronic medium.

I eat words and puke prose."

Reposted from a comment on someone elses' journal:

"I hate to say it, but people will always be morons. (Also, before you get to know someone, they might seem like the coolest person in the world, but after you get to know them, it's just so disappointing). Most people go their entire life not knowing what they want, myself included. I've got a couple of goals, but each is an eventuality that just hasn't had time to pan out yet. I love to play music, and I play with another guy, but we're pretty limited. He's getting better, as am I. I want to start a one-man band, but I've been talking about that forever. It seems as close as the sun.

So far, all I do is play some guitar to make me feel like I'm doing something when I'm not working. (Which is another story which involves my life being made up of menial jobs that nobody else wants to do).

hmm."

I had a dream last night that I had been drinking, and that I was trying to dodge police checkpoints. It was dark and there was someone else in my truck, I forget who.

It was pretty crazy, because I may drink, but I definitely don't drink and drive.

Some people are not very mature about things. Sometimes I am one of those people.

Today I felt like I was not one of those people, or I hope I wasn't. Tonight I'm watching beetlejuice.

Sometimes I just want to be liked. Sometimes I want nobody to like me, because I probably don't like them. I'm the most hypocritical bastard en la cara del mundo.

I think I need more cowbell.

I think that I like playing guitar. I played guitar so much yesterday I wore me out. I need more stamina.

I'm down.

Sixty in a Forty.
By: Ryan Tucker

I’m about as broken as this truck,
gears grinding against each other with broken teeth
while under the hood I hear belts whining,
their cracked, dry rubber stretched to break.

Oh, trust me, I know what’s going on,
but I skip my eyes over bald tires and cracked windshields,
over dust and rusted out chasms in floorboards;
I don’t watch the road fly under my feet.

Perhaps if I lean into the accelerator,
(that mile long stretch of pedal on the right)
and turn on that cheap am/fm stereo,
then the roar of the engine as its pistons melt into their cylinders
could meld perfectly with some deaf man’s symphony,
some man's one-uppance of the odds.

I'm genuinely sick. I bought a russian hat (the kind with the ear flaps and stuff). Mine is brown, and jason's is grey. It's pretty fucking cool.

I bought some A'Darrio strings. I don't like them very much, they're too dull sounding for me. Never know if you don't try, right?

I also got kind of fucked tonight. Someone set up a date to hang out/play music, and then they cancelled because they didn't really want to do it in the first place. M'kay.

I didn't sleep at all last night. I watched the sun come up, then drove back to my house. I'm housesitting, blah blah blah.

...My truck is broken. The trend seems to be that the battery dies on me, but it's only really bad when it's hot outside? What a stupid piece of machinery.

Last night I advanced nine levels on Champions: RTA. That's seriously too much. On the upside, my bow spells are starting to get some zest to them.

I took some nyquil when I got home, then fell asleep in the shower a couple of times before I finally fought off the medication long enough to collapse in bed. Problem is, I ended up waking up in just a few more hours, still sickly. I'm either very allergic to something in their house, or I'm getting genuinely sick. Only the rest of the day will tell.

In other news, my dad called and woke me at 6:30 to get his horse back in the yard.. Also, he wants me to go someplace else for him. That's ridiculous, and I only got a couple of hours of sleep. I am kind of grumpy. A big fat grump.

I feel badly, my stomach is in turmoil.

My day was long; the longest day I have seen in a long time. I'm so so tired, I just feel like sleeping for years upon years upon years.

Not to speak in riddles, but... The things that were important to me last year, last month, last week... Are not that important to me today. I wish I knew what I thought was important, because then I'd give that some priority. Truth is, I have no priorities, no direction.

Carnival lights shine on unruly sights:
people standing up seven flights.
Wish that they were, or that I
weren't afraid of such height.

Sometimes I feel very loved, and other times I feel quite the opposite.

I submitted a few things to my school's journal. Maybe they'll get published. It's not a really big thing... Like my teacher said, "It's nice to see your name in print." I wouldn't know, really. I doubt I will know.

MAN, that's so fucking disheartening. I want to be a writer, but I can't see myself writing. I don't write enough, I don't read enough, I don't do a damned thing at all with my time. I'm not doing well in my math class at all, and it makes me feel like something that mundane will hold me back... Something completely unrelated.

I am probably (read: it's very very likely) going to the mothballs show in bakersfield. I'm taking Leah, and maybe Kyla. I'm tired.

I like how in the book, Martini gets stuck in the pool and drowns.

Please, please, please, I need something to care about. I mean, to really put my time into. I feel so fucking useless. I can't create! Some people can make beautiful pieces of art, or build houses from pieces of inert wood... I couldn't even build a house out of cards. My prose is shoddy and the poor workmanship shows. It's like trying to create a Greek Bronze statue, and only ending up with a tinfoil stick man. I am so unimpressed. I haven't even written in weeks. Going on months now. Hell, it's probably months.

Ian wanted me to write a screen play... Shit man, if only I were a writer.

Some people think I'm narcissistic, but they just don't know how cool I am.

- I bought krazy glue. The guy didn't even card me. What good is it being 18, when I can legally buy this shit, and nobody pays attention? On the plus side, I didn't have to get my ID out.

- I can't find the material I was using to make patches. I wanted to make an oblivians patch tonight, but I couldn't do it, because I didn't have the material. Fucked up. I will buy some tomorrow. At this rate, I will soon be broke.

- I've been listening to the oblivians - 17 cumshots and it is really awesome. I'm also getting the lamps s/t lp. What I've heard of that is pretty fucking swell too.

- I saw Becky hanging out with a bunch of square kids tonight. If you ever read this, Becky, your friends are seriously square. Seriously. ...And what shitty tunes.

- Sidenote: Listening to music is now the unhip thing to do. Only losers like music.

- I was walking with a friend of mine, doing nothing just to pass the time. Got a notion that'll do you good, eating pizza down in hollywood.

- Bullet points are the key to any sloppy presentation.

- Speaking of sloppy, I shoot ten miles high, and got pie in her eye. <3
