I'm moving soon...this time it's for certain. We're moving to south carolina, and to be perfectly honest, as much as I'd like to stay, I don't know if I could stay. It's hard enough trying to get by on subway wages and trying to do school and shit, so I think it's best if I went with the fam. I haven't been doing my best in school, I'm not motivated, and all these projects, all these ideas I have had for music and drawing just turn out to be shit to me. "Strewn Across the Ceiling" even came out as a bust. I'm only a page and a half into it and I already hate the fact that I can't stay focused on it, or just art in general. Everything I do seems shitty. As much as running away isn't the answer, it seems that I need a new environment, maybe....I don't know...

I might join the coast guard. Jim said I could get a decent living off of that until I finish school. I'd go to boot camp and shit like that, but I wouldn't be shipped off anywhere. He's not a recruiter and he's not one to bullshit about those types of things. I'm not sure though. My cousin offered a room at her old house, but I'd be living with my uncle, my cousin, her 3 year old kid, and she's got another baby on the way.

It's a catch 22. I'm damned if i do, damned if I don't.

I think beyond my garage, and the small group I hang out with, and Sunny, there's really not much here for me. I always wanted to see whats beyond the wall, but I'm afraid of the abyss, and not knowing anything at all. I can't use words right, I'm a slacker, I drink a lot, and I don't know if there's really anything else for me. I'd like to try something different, but again, i'm afraid to. And it seems recently that whatever I try, I definitely fuck up. That's for sure. I just overall feel useless. I used to really enjoy life. Now I'm over-tired or an insomniac, I'm pushing towards alcoholism, apparently, and I just feel like a waste. I could do so much, I could've done so much, but I feel like there's nothing left. I wasted my resources, taken advantage of situations, and now I feel kinda unnecessary. I felt I had purpose and then it went away. I thought I could live for other people, that if they could come over and have a couple of beers and talk, I was important. I don't feel that anymore. I feel there's maybe more beyond what I consider a daily chore of drinking and seeing my friends and sleeping in until 3 pm. I just feel weighed down and exhausted and I'm sick of myself and the people around me.

I can only play so many games of pool until I realize we've been at snookers for the past week, and now there's nothing new to do. I need something new; that might be it. But I don't know. My life's a waste. Whenever I feel I do good, I just fuck up. No one listens to great lake saint clair, or at least takes it seriously beyond the fact that it's someone they know making the music. I feel like shit. I feel like screaming. I feel like dying, and no song that I write helps. I could put every last bit of effort into making something that everyone can level to, and in the end, I'm by myself on the situation. I want people to maybe not feel as sad as I do, but maybe come to some sort of level ground and go, "yeah, I've dealt with that. Man that sucks." But I feel ostracized from the way everyone else feels. I'm misinformed, I'm not very educated, and I feel like I've got nothing left to lose, except for myself, and even that's starting to slip away.


I hope none of this makes sense. Grammar's for suckers.

Since when are you an alcoholic? You ever suck dick for beer?



I can say moving out of Michigan has done wonders for me. If nothing else, the economy is absolutely horrible. It's hard enough to find a job, and once you do, you're working minimum wage. It's so much better in Chicago. I found a job the day I started looking and I'm getting paid $8/hour, which isn't much, but yeah. If you want to move out to Chi-town, I need another room mate at the end of the summer. How cool would that be?

But a change of scenery would probably do a lot for you. If this is your only chance, take it. And don't worry about being in an artistic decline, it's something every artist experiences.
