Logbook » My Love is Killing Me

written by owen, published 2004-Aug-16, comment

I really should cut my hair this week at somepoint if I get around to it. It's been a couple a months since my last confession I think and it reaching the point where my hair is begining to eat into my skull and give me nightmares. I am not one to really care about up keep but security guards stop me too often at banks and armored security check points. I consider it my bad boy slash unemployed- drunk look which I use to avoid the sunday school teachers I so ever often pick-up on the way from the city. Justify my thug?

It does not affect me much since I only see it when I look in the mirror. Life is a continous list of tasks that help to keep us from burning and looting, sometimes you just delay the tasks abit. I had a watch lost it - several times.

The news is something I watch on a case by case basis, unless I happen to see it as I pass. I don't know. There is voilence and crime everywhere but there are just some "endz" you don't want to go, at night or on sunday or anytime whatsoever.

On August 6 2004 my little country turned 42. That is it's been independent of britain (or wherever) for like 42 years. Whether independence is a good thing or not matters little - it gives people something to celebrate plus no body really hates us - that in itself is something to celebrate. It will take another hundred or so years before we can start freeing people in far eastern countries from ruthless, weird mad dictators. I trust all the festivities went well and everybody made it through the day, alive to die another day.
And I'm not going to get all patriotic on you and start saying that my milkshake is better that yours. I'm not very patriotic, though by saying this it might affect my chances of later becoming president, I'm going to say it anyway - I will just that I was young foolish and under the influence of evil dancehall music. I might as well have been born in a hut in greenland for all I care. I am not saying this a bad place to be or that it is perfect but it does rain. And when it rains - it pours. I am not using rain as so form of figurative symbol or anything. (I know what your thinking, stop it now)
Now as we celebrate over independence, aging one year closer to nuclear technology, Subways, legalised prostitution and a stable economy. Let us reflect on the past and hope the best for the future. And visit jamaica we need your money. I should visit japan, some day (as well). Not on a tour or anything, just to hang around for a bit - outside of my skin get lost in translation for a bit.

michael halvorsen commented: happy 42nd birthday jamaica. a break from england is worth celebrating. we do it every july 4th. seems a lot of countries celebrate breaking away from the little island that used to be powerful, now they just piggy back on everything we say. funny how things turn out. i'm going to visit jamaica. don't know when, but its been a place i've wanted to visit for sometime now. not as a stop on a bullshit cruise either, actually visit jamaica. same goes for japan, but when i go to japan, i'm going to save my money and buy a bunch of stuff cheap. cool electronic stuff. on another note, 'lost in translation' was a good movie. why, i don't know, but it was good. hard to explain. ... read 6 more

Many people turned out but it was really worth the time. And please don't try to drive directly to the event. Portland Jerk Festival.

Pauleene Edwards commented: I visited the Jerk Festival in July 2004. Wonderful event and so much people. Like Owen said, do not drive directly to the event. We spent more time trying to get back to our vehicle than we did at the event. Pork delicious!!! ... read 11 more

Now I'm not one for the whole night club scene, I like to sleep at night. Anything after 12 o'clock at night any night is too late, way too late. I need my sleep or else I can't wake up the next day. After 12 all my bodily systems shut down, my eyes close, and I begin to see Britney Spears and Alicia Keys throwing sheep over a wooden fence. I'm not leaving my house at that time at - unless I'm going to sleep where ever I'm going.
It doesn't matter which night it is either, I could careless. I'm not much of a weekend person, most times I cannot even tell which day of the week. Because it matters little - mostly on monday. I already have trouble getting up in the mornings and so added late night excursions to nightclubs, involving alcoholic beverages, plane signaling and the rain dance isn't going to help my delicate situation.
Occasionally there will be one or two parties at "the house" put on by "the nephew". Parties which are simple unavoidable, plus I have to keep watch in case the devil wants to play. Of course I don't know anybody and my eyes are almost closing from sleep deprivation but I must stay sane and awake at least. Don't drink at drive. I vote sleep for president.
Call me up at 8 or 9 pm, I am not a night person at all. I'm also thinking of adding a photo project called "pimp juice".

michael halvorsen commented: i used to be more of a weekend person back in junior high, but as the years went on and i had more access (a car and age), i've gone out less and less. the weekends are great because i can sleep in, but i normally end up getting too much sleep and feeling like even more shit. as far as being a night person goes, i am defiantley one. i find myself staying up past 2am just about everyday, whether i am actually doing something or not. i can lay in bed for hours staring at the blank black ceiling. i have to be ready for bed before i can sleep. hard to explain. ... read 28 more

Kingston, Jamaica. Now this is at about 9 o'clock at night. I changed some camera settings so now the windows look like there on fire but it's not so - really.
