I'm quite good


at this procrastination thing.


on a side note, life update!

  • -moved. I know, sad right? On the plus side in this apt my sinks drain, and my room doesn't have a huge pole in the middle of it.
  • -met nice lady.
  • -won things
  • -have a new, wonderful, sorta-roomate Chris Francis. Best friends everyday!
  • -andie left :(
  • -took the above photo for her.
  • -in university; still shocked they take marks off my papers for my lack of capitals.
  • still want a land speeder.

Hearthers

shit.
this is. . . great.

Heathers TV on MUZU.
they remind me of fall for some reason, which is kind of fitting seeing as fall weather has made a very quick and real comeback here in Charlottetown.
all too green grass is peaking it's head out over the melting snow and i've just been wearing a light, brown sweater with a vest all day. sadly it is to warm for scarves.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On a fun, and non fall related note, my friend Andy has this blog that she does for Fashionmagazine.com

it's pretty great, she is a very very very good writer who makes me feel shame for not being able to string together a sentance that doesn't run on for a few hours/feet.

i am tired



and i want one of theeese.

i know that your in love with her by the way you never touch her, or look at her

Photography has become my white whale.
i need it, i feel it, but i just can't do it(right now it's because i lent out my digi-body to matt or at least that's my excuse)
i know i can do it, i know i'm good(well i used to be) so now i just don't have the same drive to do it.

i think it's my hamartia.

once i can do something, i get bored.

i wish i was one of those gloriously few people who find what they're good at AND stick with it AND are smart about it so they find a way to keep doing it.

oh well
--------------------------------------------------------------

now if you have a problem what do you do about it?
take it on, head first?
dive into to?
fix it up right away?
really?

liar.

i had that conversation(in my head)yesterday when i read the first question up at upei and i think that really sums me up

time for today's list!

"things i need to do that i've avoided like the plague!"
-finish my resume
-apply for jobs
-ask old emplyers for letters of recommendation so i can go to school in jan.
-wake up at a reasonable hour
-buy safe-t-salt for back steps(it's a fucking them ride back there,"ice caverns"or something just as hokey)
-get body back from matt
--------------------------------------------------------
shit i think is cool on the internet right now.

PUPPYCAM
LOVE IT.

Shamelessly trying to make it big on the internet: take 2



It's been a long time since i posted on this beautiful thingy majig, so i think i shoud talk about what i've been up to, in point form.

-got back from France, new favorite country, Slovenia.
-New Royalty started to record
-Kyle decided that pei wasn't for him, he moved to T dot Oh and i hear from him every once and awhile, i miss the guy
-got new place to live
-named new place "Lyons house" after this guy because this guy already had a house named after him. that house died, ironically.
-have had WAAAAY to many shows thanks to the shear moxy of this guy, and this girl and this guy
-haven't taken alot of photos due to a few bad experiences, but i still think about it every day
-Finnished the New Royalty ep. had a fucking blast at ep release

and today i think i'm going to go build a snowman.
and i should have gone to get a my very wonderful friend andy about 15 minutes ago, but more on her later

fuck bitches, make cookies
-Tristan

ps. the main reason i'm starting to do this again is because of steven brown, what a guy, that's a photo of him looking like captain janeway.

I am readymade



my wallpaper wants to kill itself.

but i can't help it thanks to my cane-laden 90-somethin' land lord telling me that "it's fine the way it is" or "it's been like that for years, why on earth would you even think about changing it?"

because it's fucking U-L-G-Y(and it 'aint got no alibi)

but i believe i have a way to at least do a little something to it.
i re-found one of my favorite website/message board/magazine last night
www.readymade.com, it's a great place for people who like to make things, such as myself.

but the important part of this is that i found a way to cover my wallpaper, for not only cheap, but for simple(yes i just wrote that, on purpose) it's only going to take me:
1.a fuck ton of very cheap and light cotton fabric(that's where the money goes)
2.a bit of starch
3.a bucket
4.a bit of patience

i just have to wallpaper the fabric up using a starch and water mixture, it peels right off and i can dye it if i want to(fuckin' right!)

thank gahd for the Internet.

Breaking Kayfab

so i leave for france in 5 days.
i fly accross the atlantic ocean in 5 days.
i see 300 year old buildings hold mcdonalds in 5 days
i hang out with james in 5 days.

that's rad.

But, i would like to mention that i'm getting a little freaked out, because quite frankly, after this trip, i'm going to have no money for rent/bills/food/guitars/amps/new sticks

and that's not what's freaking me out.
it's the fact i've become totally ok with it.

shouldn't i have some kind of survival instinct that says "you know, you're a fucking idiot?" because i don't. all my mind is saying is "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAA THIS IS GOING TO BE FUCKING AAAAWWWWWEEEESOME. there must be a way for me to find some kind of solice in this right?

. . .didn't think so. . .

o well.
-------------------------------

New Royalty is sorting itself out.
most/all our problems have been stemming from one thing.
we don't practice nearly enough.

i hope that while i'm away they get a couple concreate practices in,
and do the things that we talked about tonight.
like find at least 2 days durring the week for practice and stick to them.

-------------------------------
i need a new job.

my medsenses contract is going to be up very soon.
and that means i have about 1500 less a month
and it's hard to live off the other crap i get paid at best western.

gahd damn.
