The rule is this: Believe nothing of what you hear and only half of what you see.
When you’re going through hell, keep going.
Everybody knows some things, some controversial things that happened to me last year and it affected me. Did I show it to people? Some people I showed it to, some people I didn’t. For me I did feel it. That’s the funny thing about life: the human elements take over at some point. You just got to work with what you got. If people throw you a roadblock it can be a speed bump or a roadblock but sooner or later you’ve got to keep going. It depends on that person on how long he stays at that particular point in his life.

Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear, not absence of fear.

Here’s 3/3 for my Funeral Selections. I just find this song makes me smile, no matter how bummed out I may be, just listening to this reminds me of nice things. I hope that it has the same effect on others. Now keep in mind, I totally reserve the right to add more songs to what, in reality, becomes my last DJ gig OF ALL TIME. So I’m sure there will be more. In the meantime, Enjoy.
Song 2/3 in my funeral mix. If you know me at all, you know there’s an Against Me! song for every situation in my life. Yes, even death. 3rd one to come shortly.
I really hope this isn’t too morbid, but I’ve had this discussion with friends before. Do you know what song(s) you want played at your funeral? My answer is an unequivocal yes. This song is one of them. There are two more, I may post them later.
Sunday Morning Coming Down
So, I’m not really sure where this post is going to lead, or what it’s meant to accomplish, other than getting some stuff off my chest. Some days are better than others, today is one of the “other” days.
I don’t think that I should feel bad, rationally speaking, but there is definitely no feeling I like less than that of losing. That’s exactly what’s happened.
At first, I tried to be all jokes about it, and totally throw someone under the bus in a, “Naw, Naw, I’m cool man, this shit don’t phase me!”-kind of way.
But when I start looking at this from a realistic point of view, yeah, this shit DOES phase me.
I was very much looking forward to Monday to find out all of the ramifications from Friday night, but now I’m just stressed about it. People are going to be asking me what happened, and I don’t want to sacrifice anyone. I’m a little too close to the situation in this case and it makes me upset.
Beyond that, I feel like for my own sanity, I have to pull back. As a wise, fictitious NASCAR driver once said, “If you’re not first, you’re last.”
