A Lack of Character.
I’ve been exposed, more recently, to individuals who are completely oblivious to their own wants, desires, ambitions, emotions, and dreams. The detrimental problem is that their actions, demeanor, and the words they say, all point to someone who is completely confident in everything they want in life. They are consequently a walking contradiction.
I am a very ambitious, motivated, hard...
The End.
Smile for the camera, suck in that gut. Don’t shame your family, you’ll have bad luck. Oh, the whole world is waiting to see when you fall. The cracked coffee cup from the senior prom. Faded red dress on the neighbor’s lawn. Oh, the whole world is waiting to see when you fall.

In Love With A Ghost.
There is a recurring circumstance that I feel compelled to touch on. I’ve been subjected to it and many of you have as well. I’m speaking about the moment when you become aware that the person that you love is gone. I’m not talking about them passing away, but rather that they have completely changed.
We’ve all fallen in love with someone based on their character and...

Faith Like A Child.
I think the worst part about growing older is the continuous process of becoming aware of the world. It’s terrifying to finally comprehend the evil that our fellow man is capable of. The realization of our fragile lives and the swift approach of death’s inevitability. So many things, that we were so naive to in our youth, now consume us and force us to act, to think, to question, and...

Thanks, but no thanks.
Listen, sometimes people question my life goals and ambitons, “What are you doing with yourself, Joshua?” “Are you going back to school?” “You need to get your shit together, you’re too old to not have a plan and make something of yourself.”
I appreciate what you may consider friendly advice or constructive criticism of my decisions, but this post is to...

The Destruction of Everything.
A taste of earth and blackened breaths. Our oxygen is running out. It’s been years wrapped in flesh barely living underground. An avalanche of scarlet death consuming everything we knew. For you I’d go to hell and back. There’s nothing that I wouldn’t do.
If you enjoy my rants and think your friends might as well, send them to my page.
Do I look like a slut?
I keep reading and hearing people complain about everyone’s promiscuity. I can’t help but to think that the ones doing the whining are either, the ones who AREN’T getting laid, OR they actually have morals and just haven’t found happiness yet. Some people are completely content with hooking up with several partners, they sleep just fine at night. Just because you have...

Why do people who claim to be 'musicians' need...
There are several different levels of musicianship. Some people can write absolutely amazing guitar parts, or come up with the catchiest melodies and lyrics off the top of their heads. Some people can read sheet music, play scales, and arpeggios, but can’t even begin to compose their own songs.
Almost everything you listen to has some co-writing involved. Wether its multiple people in a...
Eyes focused like a microscope.
I’m not in a very good mindset right now. I grow impatient with people. I am appalled with the behaviors of those around me, even if I share the same ones. I can see through people’s insecurities and irritates me, but breaks my heart at the same time.
I watch people’s actions, they way they tell stories, their excitement, the change in their voices, they way they laugh,...
Like, I was drunk.
So, I have this new pet peeve. The misconception that being “drunk” somehow justifies, promiscuous, irresponsible actions. I take pride in the fact that when I’m “fucked up” I still am well aware of the shitty choices I make. YES, I’m more prone to suppress my better judgement and say things, do things, and sleep with people that I may not have if I wasn’t...

Nothing Left.
Lately, I’ve found myself giving the same advice to several different people. It’s more of an explanation of the behavior that I’ve noticed in myself and many others.
I think at one point in life, everyone is genuine, optimistic, ambitious, and has high expectations for themselves. Think of it as clean slate, a person who hasn’t been corrupted by the world, conditioned by...

Fuck yo’ couch!
I used to be such a burning example, I used to be so original. I used to care I was being cared for. Made sure I showed it to those that I love. I used to sleep without a single stir, ‘Cause I was about my father’s work. Well Take me out tonight, The ship of fools I’m on will sink. A milestone around my neck, Be my breath, there’s nothing I wouldn’t give. I used to...
Naivety
I never understood the concept of prematurely expressing emotions you AREN’T feeling. By that I mean, If the person you’re in a relationship says “I love you.” and the feeling isn’t mutual at the moment, we all feel obligated to say it back. Why? Do we not want to hurt their feelings, is love supposed to be this instant simultaneous emotion that two people feel from...

The Outside Perspective (Hypocrisy 101)
There is an extremely entraining aspect to my thought process. I possess a conscious, strong ability to contradict myself in almost every way. There’s nothing like grounding one’s self in firm beliefs and ideologies and then swiftly, dissecting them into nothing more than stream of foolish thought. (I’ll get into this more in depth at a later time.)

Top 10 favorite records.
In no particular order:
Stay What You Are - Saves The Day
Trainwreck - Boys Night Out
In Rainbows - Radiohead
Hold On - Name Taken
Sainthood - Tegan And Sara
Small Steps, Heavy Hooves - Dear And The Headlights
The Morning Light - The Morning Light
War All The Time - Thursday
Crimson - Alkaline Trio
Through Being Cool - Saves The Day
Timing.
It’s quite an empty feeling when you have everything you want laid out in front of you, but knowing you may NEVER obtain it. I’d almost rather not have it at all rather then getting a small taste, knowing I’ll never be satisfied.
I’ve viewed many things in my life this way and observed the same situations in the the lives of my close friends. It could be a relationship...

Patterns Forming.
I’ve concluded the obvious. Life is nothing, but a series of recurring acts of routine. Patterns of behavior. Mirrored occurrences we quickly forget have no significance at all.
Turn on the television, listen to a song, read a book, and you’ll see that whatever experience you’re having has been experienced before. Every feeling you feel has been felt by someone else. Whatever...

A Racing mind and Run on Sentences
I’ve been using this blog to vent and share some advice, it’s quite therapeutic. I am usually maticulous in what I’m trying to say, but below is the scattered stream of thought that’s occuring at 3am. It’s exposing and can leave me looking vulnerable and weak, but who am I kidding? Doesn’t that describe everyone? Some are just better actors that others…

Advice.
–noun 1. an opinion or recommendation offered as a guide to action, conduct, etc. I’ve been fortunate to have people consider me as a good source of advice in their lives. It’s really interesting to know that someone would come to me with their problems and hope I can help solve them. I try my very best to help my friends and be the one who “listens” when there’s a...

Straight teeth, dark hair, bangs, and confidence. Give me a girl with those attributes and I’m instantly vulnerable =/

i heard your a bit of a man whore, is that true? (;
It all depends on your definition of such a term. What strays from a socially acceptable sexual behavior to that which is frowned upon? Is it the number of partners? Frequency of occurrence? Level of emotional commitment? Who decides these things? If someone is more promiscuous than YOU does that make THEM a whore? Do we use a type of self...

You always seem to think you know everything about everyone you talk to, mention in blogs, or talk about… Why is it that you can manipulate them to think that what your saying to them holds any ground for being a true assessment of who they are?
I really don’t consider it manipulation or believe that all my assessments are indeed true, but I’m pretty accurate...

Are you looking for a real relationship at this time?

What is your biggest inspiration?
This is actually a tough question. We find inspiration from many things and can be applied to so many aspects of our lives. I would say the biggest inspiration is the burning desire to overcome mediocrity. Whatever I end up doing in my life I have to be successful. I unfortunately can’t settle for “good enough” when it comes to...
