Inspriation comes from the strangest places...
As i'm sitting here in what feels like the most humid air i have ever tried to breath in my life, hands trembling, and smoking these goddamn cigarettes i just haven't been able to quit yet, I am trying to deal. Just deal...
You see, i got a call last night, and it's terminal. I never realized how bad it was. And i don't know if it can be repaired. I missed my opportunity, and now it's terminal.
What's even more amazing, i got a prognosis! Two months...two months of summer. Two months where everything was supposed to be great, and to have the summer party to end all parties (which for me these days consists of a blunt, a few friends, and enough Tony Hawk 3 to burn ones retinas out.)
Instead i get a lot of tears, a lot of anger, and even more confusion.
I don't get it, this isn't the way it was supposed to be, supposed to end.
The custody battle alone for the cat will be enough to make me swallow ANOTHER BOTTLE OF PIL.....never mind
keep it together....
just hold out, everything will be ok
(keep telling yourself that)
everything always works in the end
(another lie)
If it is meant to be...it'll work itself out
(i am worse than Richard Nixon)
There's other fish in the sea....
(I am Osama Bin Laden)
This is a bitter pill to swallow, and i don't even know where i stand... or more importantly, where i will stand in two months.
All i have faith in right now, is the travel case that i cart 24 cd's in wherever i go...
Listening to New Found Glory's new cd three times a day, every day...
Listening to Thursday "Full Collapse" at least twice a day...
all this bittersweet hardcore and punk just isn't helping...
It's creating a soundtrack for the apocolypse...
The night when all the shit goes down, and the next morning when i wake up, and the cat is crying for you at 5:20am...and i look over, and you're not next to me
Then reality will set in, and if you listen carefully, you will actually here a loud snap inside of me...
and i'll have no idea where i am, or what i'm doing, or why i'm even there
i will be lost, destroyed, and alone... again
and for what?? because of the way i AM??
because of things i cannot change??
or are we just heading in two different directions? it think that's the most likely scenario.
"We can rise, one wings of the dove, see blue skies...getting caught in the trail of all this smoke" - Thursday
But it's all up to you...you know where i stand. You know what i want...you're motives are a little suspect, but you know what i want.
You know what i need, and i will never forgive myself for letting this slip away...never.
Nothing will ever come close to this, and i fear that i may revert to the person i was about 3 years ago...
because three years ago, i saw a doctor, a doctor who had me locked up...and told me that i was terminal.
It's been in remission for the last two and a half years, you've kept me on life support.
"And it feels like, I'm at an all-time low...
slightly bruised and broken, from our head-on collision. I've never seen this side of you, another tragic case of feeling bruised and brokeen" - New Found Glory (appearing on this years Warped Tour, along with Thursday, Bad Religion, Thrice and many more....)
 
it's been so long, since i got a glimpse at your life. i know i've been negligent at keeping in touch and whatnot, but dont think i've forgotten you. i often wonder how you're doing...
i'm sorry that yet another page gets turned in your life that hurts you. i'm not qualified anymore to be the one to try to put it in perspective for you, but i do know from experience that everything happens for a reason, and sometimes going through shit like this, makes us stronger. maybe this is a chance for you to take another direction in your life... one that will take you somewhere where things are not "just OK"... but FABULOUS. i dont know what bad things happen to good people, but i know that you deserve happiness. and i hope that this is just the first step in getting there.
hugs.... from an old friend.
p.s. being overkilled at work kept me from remembering to email you about your cd... it was simply AWESOME. it really got to me, in a lot of ways, and i listened to it many times. you're becoming everything you ever wanted to be.
 
jesus...this is the most amazing real honest mind blowing piece i've read in a long time.

oh how i've been there. bittersweet punk, hurt, and cigarettes were my adolescence. i am currently obsessed with the Thursday cd....
"so fold me up and put me back in the place where you used to keep your heart..."
 
jay... my god... i was hoping things wouldn't have ended up like this...
if you're ever feelin down or just need someone to talk to, you've got my number. don't be afraid to call. i didn't want to call you after i was in town (and didn't get to see you) b/c i was afraid of how things would have turned out... i'm sorry jay. just stay strong and know that there are people out there that care for you (i'm one of 'em!).
out of every experience, one must learn and grow from it. try not to look back too much, except to realize how much you have changed and how much beter of a person you are.
jay, you rock. don't be afraid to call me. i miss you. then again, i guess this means i'll get to see you more in the fall? like past september and such (hopefully?). it sounds selfish to say that. i just hope you're staying strong.

Though i dont think ive quite experinced what u have i find myself in this situation alot. I also listen to the new NFG cd all the time. Though sapy emo and punk music dosent help in bad situations it's just so hard to turn off!
 
I hate hearing you unhappy. I hate not talking to you. I hate missing you so much of the time. I hate that you've been through so much pain. I hate that ...
But I love knowing that you are somewhere in this world. And I love getting that random email from you after so long. I love the way you hug. I love the lifetimes I have seen in your eyes. I love the layers upon layers of your mind and soul. I love your honesty, and you.
We keep running circles, don't we Jay? The same fucking ground and not even the scenery has the decency to change most days. Pain is such an overrated teacher, solitude won't get out of our heads. But what I've seen over and over? Sometimes the only thing that gets me out of bed is knowing that someone in this world loves me, respects me, has confidence in me, is my friend. And while it isn't always the person that I want to have loving me, it gets me through. Because we can't always trust ourselves, so having someone else do it - albeit for just a little while - can work. And eventually I don't want to go back to bed at the beginning of every day, I don't sigh in relief at night because that's one more morning + afternoon + night over.
You are loved. Until Plan B makes itself more apparent, let that be enough sweetie. And I'm not the one you're thinking of, the one you're missing, but maybe it can be enough today.

...i second that.
