so im not too sure if anyone uses these things anymore, but i might as well give some clue as to The Life of El Ed.
I leave for college in 11 days and i'll probably start using this thing more so people can see what i've been up to. im going to miss Helen so badly, i really cant fathom just how its going to be. I've been spending almost every day seeing her for at least a few minutes, and now it'll probably only be like once a week or so. no idea how i'll survive, but we'll make it. I love her like i've never really loved anyone else and it'll take God himself to tear us apart. i guess i am kinda excited though about the whole college thing...instead of goin to the welcome week stuff, ima be in BAND CAMP. oi. good times, good times..i guess. o well, next years basically gonna be devoted to trumpet anyhow, so i might as well start off my collegiate career with a horn blast. the band up at UCA is actually kinda cool too, and we're playin pirate music this year. last year i believe it was james bond themed
so otherwise i've been working my ass off at Rivercliff nearly 40 hours a week...8-5, mon-fri. Tomorrow I'm driving up with the band to Eureka Springs to once again see Eric the recording guru. Our album is almost done and we're gonna go mix the very last part of it...he's been hard at work for the last 2 months getting all the tones, levels, effects, panning, etc...juuuuuust right. but hey, he's got a 40 year rep for a reason...he's a mixing masta! so maybe my next update will have somethin about our mixing experience. so until next time, pip pip peace (as merrick would say) |

im gonna start usin it again, but most entries will be private...i've been gettin the biggest buildup of philosophies and deep thoughts lately and i need a reliable place to write it all down...yeah, i guess this is to keep my sanity or lack there of in check.

welp, time for an update on the quitting situation. now going into this i knew it was going to be tough, and i've been trying and basically heres how its gone. im tellin ya straight up so you can SEE that im improving and its gonna keep getting better.
since that last post i've smoked pot once, but it was literally one little puff and it was done...and that was to clear out the last of a stash...my first and last stash.
i havent gotten drunk or tipsy.
and finally, before that post i was smoking around 6-10 cigarettes a day...since that last post i've smoked 6 (in all). i dunno...maybe 60 a week to 6 a week is a bit of an improvement. hell who knows, with a bit of optimism maybe it'll be down to 3 next week!
cause im tellin ya, for all those who havent fallen into the habit of cigarettes, its a smidge harder to quit than you think. so bear with me, lord knows im trying. |

dude im goin skiing over spring break! guess who's goin with me! Kyle. This is gonna be so freakin cool dude...like i dunno, i think kyle and i are the most distant with each other as far as the 4 bandies go, but this should change alot cause we're goin skiing!! and i get to see my dad!! and theres gonna be snow in breckenridge!! im excited.
then this weekend has been pretty crazy. basically i've spent the whole weekend with friends and this basic group o' folks i've been hangin with is just really cool...i think this is like the first group i can really truly feel myself around, just because everybody's so laid back. and theres no inner groupage gossip!
and Redefined is A.) looking for a new band name, and B.) will be recording a new 10 song demo in june...twice as much as last time, and about 4982 times awesomer...probly cause the last one was just really to get our feet wet. i'm tellin ya man, we'll be divin in, nothin held back. i hope ya like it when ya get one.
tonight was kinda funny though, we basically went to Iriana's and had some pizza and then walked around downtown for like 2 hours. helen was there! wonderful beautiful person that Helen Ward...simply wonderful.
also! ah yes also! i totally met up with Jason Ronza for the first time since like freshman year...we were like best friends in 8th grade and now i learned that he's goin to UCA! so who knows, maybe another friend up thar.
i could probly keep typing for the rest of eternity, but i gotta fly...you stay classy arkansas...and everywhere else that isnt quite classy
peace

if everyone was not to think of themselves and give just a little bit more without anything in it for them, just imagine how happy everybody would be.

so tired
so damn tired of thinking constantly
and trying to make everything great |

and as we sift through the sands of time we look upon our lands and realize yet again that maybe we should live as though tomorrow were our last and everything is grand.
aye, and everything is grand at the Ranger Ed homestead.
Food is warm and home cooked
im learning to cook
Helen is back from New York
band practice was super fun times AMAZING as usual today
i got to go home early (legit this time) and later went to eat schlotzky's with Helen
i hate tequila (that comment is unrelated to getting sick today.)
we got rid of Bun...he tore up our bathroom and pee'd on a towel.
Jordan might get to go skiing with me during spring break!
tomorrow is pizza day and we had pizza tonight!!
I got a new hat from Helen straight from the streets of new york...its got rasta stylin
i guess my cars pretty much dead. stupid ChERohKEY! <-new name for ex-pistacio
I have two doggies who love me...even though they're braindead.
Hardy Winburn, another deep ass thinker much like myself totally chilled with us twice last weekend...a fun mixup just since he's got some great ideas and philosophies on...everything
I'm pretty sure i've found a fondness for funky hats. does anybody have any good sunglasses they're willing to let me borrow/keep for the rest of eternity?
today was just a pretty happy day starting after 11:30 when i left school and started feelin better...mainly cause i got to see Helen after 5 days, so its all good. i think i was actually a little more irritable and edgy when she was gone...funny the way that works huh. well, I guess I'll leave you pups to do your busy work. as for me, im gonna get an MRI just for the FUCK of it!!
peace Jig,

p.s.-.......................shit, i forgot what i was gonna say |

ah yes, yet again here i sit, chillin...listening to Dark Side of the Moon...and naturally, thinking WAY too much. Tomorrow's Valentines Day. I aint got no moneys, but the awesome people in my life shall be getting some heartfelt things...cause after all, isnt the best intended gift always the one you make yourself? hmm...or a pony.
So for the first time in my life i went ahead and straight up cut off any ties of friendship i had with someone. Simply put, i cant be around somebody who openly loathes my sister. Just remember that it is Julianne who has been there for me since the day i was born. Her and my mom both. but hey, I dont hate the person. Really when push comes to shove, I used to know her, but apparently I dont...either way though, we went through way too damn much drama, doesnt even matter who's fault it was...Ciao buddy, have fun, I wish you the best.
Dan and i made a doo-wop song the other day, it was grand. haha, damn, so much has happened since i posted last i dont even know where to begin. I had wendy's for dinner? hmm..Helen will be in NYC for 5 days...Ima miss her a ton (who wont?) I'm pretty sure julianne officially has a best friend, Meagan Tullos...one of the funniest, happiest people i've met. apparently they found cocaine and alcohol in kelsey's system after she died. I think the Chili Peppers are gonna be comin to memphis this summer. I might be workin as a cell phone salesman for my new job. The band is gettin back into practicing soon...im FUCKING EXCITED!!
schweet.
Ya know, I would have to say life is pretty good at the moment
cept Jordans not goin to UCA and i'll be up there pretty much alone |
