So I don't know if anybody else saw this on the news but I am completely outraged. Three New Orleans police officers beat the hell out of a 64 year-old man. The officers claimed that the man was intoxicated in public and as they were arresting this man, one officer began punching the man in the head. One of the officers claimed the man was resisting arrest. If you watch the entire tape, the man appeared to be cooperating with the officer. After the whole this the 64 year-old was lying in a puddle of blood on the ground. The officers were arrested for simple battery and were suspended by the department. This is what really pisses me off. The assaulted man was charged with: Public Intoxication, Resisting Arrest, and Assault of a Police officer. I find it hard to believe he assaulted anybody, he wouldn't have time to while three officers are mauling him. I suggest that you all watch the video and realize the tragedy of this. These officers should have their badges taken and be arrested for assault (not just battery). I'm so sick of seeing this type of sh** on the news, it seems every branch of government is completely out of control.

I don't do this often. But I guess I have some stuff to talk about so I will, and you'll read it. I went to an excellent show at the 1st Ave tonight. The bands were in order: Smoke or Fire, The Soviettes (MN Band), The Epoxies, and Against Me! Every band performed very well and aside from a couple of jackass staff member that found it necessary to be tough, the night was grand. I'm getting way stoked to get to California. My job sounds like it's going to be perfect as far as what I was looking for. The snowboarding is going to be sick and I look forward to progressing this year. Work sucks lately, people at rosedale mall are really rude. For instance, they like to stay in the store after hours and have no intention of buying anything (ANNOYING). Other than that life is slow right now. Live Peacefully.

This journal entry may be a shock to many of you. I will be moving to California in October. I am pursuing a job at Mammoth Mountain (for those of you that don't know, it's a ski resort). The school thing just hasn't been working out for me and I felt that I need to take advantage of this oppurtunity while I am still young. I figure I will only be able to snowboard for so long. I am going to miss all of you, and I hope if you're in Cali you won't hesitate to give me a ring. I hope all is well. |

Last night I went to see Rise Against at The Quest and it was way BOMB. All of the bands that played were excellent. However, people piss me off at concerts. There was a grip of people standing in back for the first three bands, then during the break between the last two bands they all tried to rush to the front. The only reason this angers me is the total lack of respect for the bands getting up on stage and putting on a show. Nevertheless, the show was amazing. I'm real stoked for three more shows that will be coming up within the next month. |

I haven't written anything for a grip. I miss winter already. I know all you people are stoked to get rid of "cabin fever", but I personally don't believe in such an atrocious thing. I think cabin fever can be avoiding by not bitching about the cold and finding something to do anyways. Besides that, I have recently taken a trip to Corpus Christi, Texas. It was a blast, I got to see my good friend that lives there, it was sweet. I'm still struggling with the shit that Craig has put my family and myself through. He refuses to pay child support to my mother, and still denies the affair that was proved through emails found by his lovers husband. Craig Marshall is a dirty whore. I started school again this week, I'm tired. I get to attend a Rise Against concert this sunday. I am pretty stoked about it. If you don't appreciate what they're all about please don't listen to them. I never used to be a political person, but after extensive reading I have developed some strong views. I will leave it at that because I believe everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I hope all are well. |

Even if you don't like the idea of smoking weed, check this out. Look at this chart and realize how hypocritical it is for it to be illegal and tobacco and alcohol to be legal. Read the articles too, I found them very interesting. It's also interesting how much money our lovely government has wasted on the drug war. I encourage you to research this topic simply to broaden your mind. Here's a link to start with http://www.drugwarfacts.org/causes.htm. CHECK IT OUT!!!!! |

painted with the blood of my own black heart, an image shown through tears
glaring at a canvas noticing that i've wasted all these years
and i know now that it had to end and i'm glad it did before
you ruined my life and took me down i can't handle anymore
do your hair pretty and gab to your friends i'm a dick and i don't care
i'm pointing a gun right at your face and i hope that you are scared
i hate what you've contributed to my decay and my hardening inside
you can run oh you can run but you can never ever hide
i had to get the chain off of my leg but there was only one way i knew
cut through the ankle and watch it bleed i hope a little got on you
there's no reason for me to feel the way i despise your face
all i know is in my mouth you've left the most digusting taste
cry for me so i can laugh and feel as cold as a heart attack
feel the rope pull so tight ripping at your throat as you scream with fright
i hope you remember my last words remember i was so absurd
you never did a thing to me i killed you just to see
if the world would care that death is so unfair
choke on all the times you claimed to love when you never trust a mourning dove |

I have a feeling like my life is at a stand still and I am just going to stay here forever. That feeling sucks. There is so much here that reminds me of everything I hate about the world, and I suppose that will be true about any place I go. I just wanna move on to something new and exciting. School blows, no matter how cool the stuff is that I am learning, I hate it. I hate sitting still for long periods of time. I hate having to listen to somebody ramble about a minor detail for twenty minutes. I know I am kind of a whiny little bitch, but that's ok i think. I'm not ashamed to be a little emo every once and a while. Just foolin with you Josh. I can't wait to be done with school for good. I need to leave this place. There are only a few places in the country that have gotten less snow than us. The Carolina's got dumped on, as did Indiana, Nevada, California, even parts of Texas. Minneapolis pretty much just told us all to bend over this year. What a shithole this place can be. On the plus side, it's been cold enough that they have consistently made snow at all the ski hills. Nothing better than a day of riding. Hawaii was pretty good, it gave me a little more appreciation for life and the world. I have very little to complain about, I am lucky simply for the experience of going to such an amazing place. I did miss home however and was glad to return. I missed winter mostly. Eventhough it doesn't look like winter here, it sure feels like it compared to 75 degrees, and I like the cold. Not much else to say for now. "it's abouttime, that you got sick of me no longer fine, i'm no longer interesting" (name the band and song, win 10 points YAY) |

a poor bastard left bloody wounded with un-healing soars across his chest
his heart pumps only from adrenaline fueled by anger, hatred, bulletproof vest
he runs so hard that he chokes on his breath while cold rushes into his lungs
an image splattered across his mind is of watching hero be hung
sorrow is gone was never real truth it's hard to miss something so false
as a nonexistent nurturing or a never commencing waltz
he wishes to watch a single man die a slow and painful end
swearing and screaming quickly become an ever violent trend
fuck you all for not understanding true anger in it's rawest state
i hope you orgasm every time you assholes verbally masturbate
this tension's aggression why should i care what is thought of me
i'm furious, offensive and don't give a fuck if i'm so ugly
hate me and watch as i slide to the ground laughing in your face
i'll smite your god and do all i can to show absolute disgrace
pray for me please waste your breath it's one less you can use
for racism, fascism all the bullshit and infinite blind abuse
i've damned myself for eternity i'll burn, rot, bleed and squirm
but in this world somebody will know that true love must not be earned
chase me from your holy town turn your kids and walk away
stare me down, i'll glare right back slowly beginning to fade
i thank the stars that i've been so blessed to have the things i do
but i shit on those that tear them away and make it all un-glue
love is strong but hate's the same and i'm not in the grey
doing the things that feel so right but never permitted to say
i'm better than one no worse perhaps, judging me seems best
left to the experts who know me enough to see that i'm a mess
color me pretty and dance in the rain as you feel your life has worth
i've known better for so many years regretting the day of birth
worry much less i'm fine on my own, i don't want to feel
leave me numb aside from you, let me find out what's real
solitude is the only friend to someone alone for life
it will never question you, sweat you, cause you strife |
