    Why Can't I just die and end this torture
    Well,
    My life just keeps getting more and more fucked up the more i try to deal with people.

    This is gonna be very shambled and poorly written because I am on the verge of tears/psychotic rage right now.

    I had planned on staying at the store all night friday night to make an early everquest raid on saturday. This plan was shot straight to hell when Melissa called in a panic looking for Harry because her car windows had be smashed by someone she had apparently pissed off. He wasn't here so i tried to help. Next thing I know she is down here using the phone to try and contact her dad to find out what to do. So of course being the idiot I am i try to help out more. So i spent the night helping her figure out wether her insurance covered glass or not, of course it didn't, driving her to her house to get paperwork, making phone calls so she can get the phone numbers she needs.
    Finally the magic tournament ended, so we go to the diner. When she apparently decides that it would be a good idea to stay up with me and keep me company while she looks for a new car and has me look on the web for her. Then in the morning, i get to make a god damn drive to shirley so she can try to get her dad's cel-phone number from her sister. Needless to say, she does something dumb, and an hour later, i am driving back out there.
    When we get back to the store, she decides to call the car place, and discovers she might be able to get the loan for the car she wants without a co-signer. So of course she is going on for hours about "I am gonna get a new car". And this is just what i want to deal with while i am exhausted and pissed because I can't log onto everquest, so i have pretty much wasted a night i could have spent sleeping.
    So of course to get the car she needs money she doesn't have. And i hear "i just need to get $200 to get the car." I have never been so thankful i don't have an atm card. So she calls, her ex-boyfriend. While she has been making most of these call i have been trying to get some sleep.
    So all of a sudden she says "oh he's here, i am leaving." Oh well, less driving for me to do. I try to reconnect to EQ and it doesn't happen so i decide to do my next favorite pastime, smoke. As I walk outside I see her talking with two piece of shit dirtbags. And i overhear "Well, why don't you just get your friend to lend you the money?" To which she replies "Well, he is wierd..." then she notices i am there, and the next statement was too low in tone for me to hear. So she and the dirtbags walk off with them insulting her, and her just accepting it.
    As much as I knew i was being used, i accepted it becuase my friends have done that to me for a long time. I am just surprised she managed to fool me into believing i was actually a friend.
    I guess I was just too nice for this mastic trash whore. Maybe if i have insulted and beat her, i would have been more impressive. apparently standards are low for quality of people.
    At least i now know i won't be doing anymore spackling or painting of apartments til i get one. I probably won't be going to the diner much except for wednesdays and thursday because she doesn't work then.
    I hope she fucking dies. If there is one thing i can't stand is people being dishonest about whether they like me or not. I am an asshole, it is a well known fact. I am one to avoid bullshit like this, cause most people don't want to be around me. Apparently even I can miss a few fakes.
    I am so far beyond hurt right now. I just want to crawl off into a cave and wither to death. The thing that hurts the most is that, compared to the dirtbags she walked off with, I am a fucking god. but apparently i will never be able to understand people.

    I need to go do something right now. I am not sure what but sitting here just ain't helping this horrible fucking feeling.

    Haze rolls in, and some things start to get cleaer
    Been working alot. Usually 6-7 days between tge hospital and the store. So been tired and fatigued alot lately.
    My free time has been wasted play alot of pc games, and stupidly helping someone who just apparently thinks of me as a useful tool.
    To elaborate on that last little piece of info. The girl I mentioned in previous journal entries, well. I am pretty sure I know where I stand with her now. We had been hanging out, well more appropriately, I was driving her around to run errands cause my car has a radio. And I was helping her redo her apartment. Last Tuesday she comes and asks if I want to go to Rhode Island on Wed. This strikes me as strange since most people don't want me around much less want me to travel with them. Then I remember a conversation that was had where the statement "Well he lives in Rhode Island for school, but I will probably end up dating him when he comes back." was uttered. So I realize I was just asked because a driver was needed becasuse she didn't feel like making the 4 hour drive herself. And possibly the most annoying thing is, I was still considering doing it. All my friends said I should require sex as payment for the drive, but I have a problem with lowering myself to the level of a troglodyte.
    You can't possibly know how gay i felt knowing I was being asked to drive across a few states, so she could go fuck SOME OTHER GUY. Christ, I am beginning to feel like she was lying when she told me I wasn't a sucker like most of the other guys she knows and that I was just a friend.
    The worst thing is, i still volunteered to help her finish up her god damned apartment, but maybe if I get that done she will not have any use for me anymore so i can slink back into my void of obscurity.
    When I realized why she wanted me to drive, I have never wanted to slice open my wrists moreso than at that moment. I hate knowing that i am being played for a sucker, and knowing that i keep putting myself in that position.
    Which is why I am done helping other people, everytime I do. I get hurt, and if i want to be hurt, i can do a much better job on myself than anyone else can.

    Apparently my aunt and uncle in Georgia are trying to convince my parents to move down there. I hope they can, I would be out of here in a minute, no goodbyes, nothing. I would be gone and that is it. Leaving all my problems behind would be such an amazing prospect for me, I wouldn't think twice about leaving friends, work, gaming, etc behind. I would never look back.

    Not much else to talk about right now. Words aren't the easiest thing to come up with at this junction of time.

    And I am coming down tiah a fucking cold, coughing so much my chest hurts.

    Back from Being Gone
    Well, I got back yesterday, but the T1 wasn't working so i didn't get to update.

    The vacation was pretty uneventful.
    I would have fit in with my guildmates better if i was either
    a)older
    b)Married/In a relationship
    c)gay

    I spent most of the weekend hanging out with women who were 27+. This is because the guys who were there bored the living shit out of me. All they did was discuss some god awfully long military strategy game.
    It was a pretty cool convention. Better than ICON but still not the pinacle of social events I could go to.
    The 17 hour drive wasn't too bad. Was kinda sore when I got there, but not much i can do about that. At least the music helped me get through it. Also the 3 packs of cigarettes and 3 liters of caffiene helped.
    Didn't buy much there, mostly cause i get stuff at cost from the store so it would have been pointless to buy anything.
    Aunt Mary's house was pretty nice, was in a pretty secluded area. Nice and relaxing.
    Not much else to say about that trip for now. Might remember more later.

    Of course all my problems and stresses were waiting for me upon my return.
    I really shouldn't have expected anything else from life.
    The problem with the girl has just gotten more confusing. I will write more about that when i am home and don't have the slack jawed morons from the store looking over my shoulder.

    At least Jason is out of the store now.

    Not in the mood to write anything else right now.
    Just can't think of the words i need to say.
    Will update when i get home.

    Long winded
    This is gonna be the one warning I give.

    The following will probably not be very coherent or make sense to anyone, but I need to write it just to get my mind on paper. Then maybe I find out what has been plaguing me for the past few days.

    I wish i knew where to start. I can't really find a good point to start from. My mind is just a jumble of all different thoughts right now.

    I am sick of being used. Or at least of being told that I am being used because I am willing to do anything to help out friends. I know that I frequently will do dumb things just cause a friend will ask me to. I realize it is dumb, but it doesn't matter. I am not sure if it is because i tend to act without thinking or if i am just trying to make sure that at least some people i know manage to get enjoyment out of this torture called life.
    One example is that fcat that drive Harry to and from the store to his house alot. He live in mastic, far from me, but i don't mind doing it, because he doesn't have his liscense and i know how much it sucks to not be able to drive yourself around. I am kinda saddened by the fact that people think i am being a "btich" for him just because i am trying to be nice.

    I need to stop bullshitting. As many of my problems start with, this one starts with a girl. First met this girl a few months ago when she started working at the diner i am at everyone night. And as usually harry seems to know everyone that lived within a 3000 mile radius of mastic so of course he knew her. She is cute, and kinda ditzy at first. After you know her you realize she is very ditzy. Of course this wasn't any problem because i only saw her when i was at the diner on occasional days. Now she lives closer to the store ( 2nd home for me). Frequently when we were at the diner she would ask for help with dumb shit and of course we would reluctantly do it, usually me. Of course everyone assumed it was just cause she was cute and i would want to fuck her. I am still not sure if that was why. But seeing as how i never saw her for more than the 2-3 hours at the diner it never seemed to be a problem for me.
    Come last week she moves within 5 minutes of the store. So now she is there alot and was looking for help fixing up her apartment. In steps the stupidity of my brain. I agree to help. This is after all the warning from mac and harry that she is just gonna use anyone who is willing to help then go back to her drinking and bar hopping once her room is done.
    So far I have helped her paint the room, pick out moulding for around the room and her window, choose the color of her next paint. And organize her stuff.
    This also meant i slept at her house last week about as much as i slept at mine. And when i say slept, i mean i slept on the floor. I also hung out with her one day and ended up helping her with her laundry and just driving her around doing meaningless bullshit all day.
    This was not the problem, the problem starts when I listen to the people who have known her a lot longer than me. Harry is no longer gonna help her with her room because he feels he is being used because he is doing the work for free and she wants perfection. John is telling me that is am just being an idiot hoping to get laid out of this. And I am starting to believe them. And it has just been confusing the hell out of me. I kinda have feelings for her, but i find myself holding back just because of what i have been told about her. But as dumb as it sounds, even doing just boring shit, it felt really good to have someone want me around. I can't tell if she feels anything for me but I am horrible at judging that. She keeps asking me to stay over her house, but i also know she hates to be alone and isn't amzingly happy living by herself. The last time i stayed at her house, we just watched tv till 4 am and slept till 2 pm, then we did her laundry and i met a bunch of her family. Nothing special, nothing meaningful, but I just liked the feeling that someone enjoyed my company even if they could have gotten the same thing from buying a guard dog it was just better than the feeling of waking up alone to just a tv still playing the channel i left it on when i fell asleep.
    Now everynight at the diner she asks if i am working the next day. all my friends tell me to say yes wether i am or not, just because they feel i am being used. And i feel like more of an idiot when i listen to them than i do if i say no and just hang out with her. Jesus, i called in to work because i really didn't want to be there, and cause she TOLD me i was sleeping over, and i just simply made calls to home and to work and stayed over. The thing is, i also don't want to look like a fool if i help her finish her room then she never speaks to me again till the next time she has a problem.
    Probably the most frigthening thing to me is that fact that i can overlook her flaws, she is pretty dense, very obsessive compulsive and can't pick a radio station if you paid her. Yet i can't do that with most other people.
    One thing that really annoys me is that mac and most of the other guys just seems to treat her like a walking pair of tits since she isn't too bright. I am not sure why it annoys me, but for some reason i just can't stomach it when they start acting like the troglodytes they are.
    Hopefully while i am on vacation i will be able to sort out this fucked up situation.

    Of course as when I meet any woman I think i might have feelings for it makes me remember the past. And of the course the first thing i think is "Don't get your hopes up, it will just turn out to be another Christene/Courtney/Melissa/(insert name here)" And i am pretty sure that thinking is only gonna stifle any chance i ever have at any sort of relationship in the future. But forgetting the pains cause by those time is somethign i can't do no matter how hard i try.

    Of course bringing up the past starts me to do the thing that is most damaging to myself. I start to THINK. Whenever i have time to think it is a bad thing. Cause all i seem to do is think of the bad things in my life, not that there are many good things, but i would rather concetrate on those.
    This has manage to drain me of all my will to live these past few days.
    I have started to look at the people i hang out with, we leave the store to get away from it, and the second we get to the diner all they talk about is gaming. It makes me wonder if my life is as big of a waste as i assume it is becoming.
    And this always brings my thoughts to death. And wondering why this glorious monster has yet to find me and release me from me neverending cycle of self-destruction.
    Some things that keep sticking out in my head are the time when my psychiatrist asked me when the last time i was really happy was. and even after a week of really thinking about it, i couldn't tell him when it was. and when someone at worked acutally said "how can you tell mike is in a bad mood, his face is always the same, he has no emotions."
    And it makes me realize that my entire life is kinda a lie. i look like a solid rock statue with no problem, but my center isn't rock, it is more hollow and empty than a black hole. What they can't seem to realize is that with the problems i have, there is never anyone who can listen and really know how i feel, cause the people who could identify are dead. so i just take my problems and keep them inside, and slowly destroy myself from within. Those of you who know me would be really surprised to know how many times i have cried myself to sleep. just because the problems get so bad that i just breakdown, it is one of the few releases i have, but god forbid i ever show that side, no one would be able to belive it is really me. they would just assume i am acting or bullshitting to try and get attention.
    one of the most painful things is my friends always joke about suicide, they don't seem to realize that what i say, even though i cover with laughter, is my true feeling. i want to die. i am so far beyond sick with this pain filled car accident called life. i am sick of the pain, i am sick of the hurt, i am sick of the deciept and the feeling that i can't trust anyone becuase i know they will end up screwing me over in the end. i am just plain sick of having to wear this facade of being alive. i have been dead to this world for years. my body just hasn't realized it yet. i just want it all to end, wether i go to heaven/hell/limbo or wherever it is, it can't be any worse than it is now.
    people always tell me "Well, just give it time, it will get better". i have given it a god damn long time, and it hasn't improved. or "you have to change yourself to make a better life" but if i am changing myself, what the fuck is the point?
    my existence is a joke, it is just one string of accidents and distractions linked together to keep me in my pseudo-state of.....i can't think of an appropraite word to describe how i feel.

    the only stable thing is my life is music. which is why i waste so much money on concerts. i hate being at social gatherings, but the music is what drives me. i manage to ignore everyone else and just concetrate on the band and the music.
    even everquest is having a hard time keeping my interest lately.

    me and harry were talking as i drove him home tonight, we were discussing how he used to feel "happy" when he was doing drugs, and i realized i felt the same way when i was cutting or burning myself.
    and it scared me, because if the only way i can delude myself into a feeling of happiness is by injuring myself there is something definately wrong with me.

    I realize i could try to kill myself again, but as i have said. this is the one thing in this world that truly scares me. if i fuck up again and don't die. i will either have serious damage on my body, or i will be institutionalized for the rest of my "life". and i will NEVER go back to one of those psychatric wards, NEVER. I would sooner attack a cop with a gun pointed at me rather than go back. those were 2 weeks of my life that i can and never will forget. being trapped in there was the most excrutiating pain i have ever been in. having to pretend to be happy and sane just to leave was beyond stressing.

    So as i look at my life, all i see is fucked up situations. the people i hang out with tend to bore or annoy me alot. the only possible relationship i might have seems to be based on an extreme long desire of just not wanting to be alone anymore. And my job path is going nowhere, and going there extremely slowly.

    I wish i could figure out what the fuck is wrong with me.

    I hope that this upcoming few days in georgia will help me sort some of this out, or at least let me forget some of this.

    If only there was some way to lobotomize all memories from your brain, then i might feel better.

    I am gonna stop writing now, i need to get some sleep for work. And i am getting to the point where i am beyond drained, both pyhsically and emotionally. And once going to play with my knives seems like a good idea. It is time to sleep, becuase that is the one place that i can escape to.

    No qoutes today. just don't have it in me

    Current Mood: confused
    Current Music: eminem track 18 off the new cd.
    12:05 am
    Just kinda killing time before I go to the diner.

    Been playing a lot of NES and Genesis roms here at the store.

    Vacation comes up this thursday.
    I am so god damned glad to be getting the hell out of NY for around a week.

    Got alot to say about my current state right now. But nothing I want the chimps that are here at the store to read. Will probably update more when I get home. The ranting will probably help me. If not will probably entertain the 3 of you who might read this.

    How Will You Die?




    Pretty eerie how right some of these tests can be.

    And Joe, I hate you for posting the links to most of them.

    Went to Ozzfest over a week ago. Was damn fun, except for the burning sun then the 5 hours of ran. The morons in the mosh pit throwing mud, the lack of any sleep.
    But at least I had a damn good breakfast, heard some awesome music, met some pretty cool girls, to find out they were jailbait anyway.

    Then 2 days later I saw System of a Down. Jones Beach sucks. System was kinda cool, but they have a horrible stage presence. Down was better in my opinion, but I also like Pantera alot.

    Seeing Slayer at Roseland next week, I know I am gonna get hurt.

    Getting my tatto this thursday. I would describe it, but I doubt any of you even know what a Necron is for me to get into the description.

    Finally got one of my epic weapons on Everquest. Just to elaborate, that means I spent 6 months of my life doing a quest. Just to get a cool looking sword with lightning running up and down it.

    Everything is set for my trip to DragonCon at the end of august. My aunt was frighteningly excited at the thought of me staying at their house, oh well saves me money on hotels. Gonna be a long drive to Georgia though.

    I still wanna know why my tech school's job placement called for me, I never gave them a resume or took any of the tests. Did they suddenly get an influx of jobs looking for "slacker with no ambition in life"?

    Thinking about taking the police test next time it comes around. From what I hear their computer department is lacking people. And the idea of retiring in 22 years with nice benefits and salary is appealing to me. I don't think I could be a patrolman even if I wanted to, just cause suicidal police is something they try to avoid.

    Think that is all for my basic update. No real rants this time, mostly cause I haven't done much that required me to interact with the "real" world.

    3:40 am
    Not much has really happened since the last time I actually bothered to update.

    Been screwed over by a few people. Same old, same old.

    Birthday came and went last week
    "One more year gone bye. One les that I have to wait to die."

    Work is the same boring shit day in and day out.

    Harry and I have been working on the extention to the store.

    Saw Korn at MSG. was a damn cool concert.

    As I look at what I am actually writing. I am realizing how pitiful my god damn life actually is.

    At least next week I have ozzfest then system of a down two days later.

    Haven't checked my e-mail in a few days. But there are 1047 mesages to sort through. I am willing to bet that maybe 2 are worthy of not being deleted.

    Ended up seeing the Powerpuff Girls movie. Was kinda funny, any movie with ton of monkies destroying the city is pretty cool. I kinda got roped into doing it. So of course that was one of the days I was screwed over by "Friends".

    I think I am gonna start playing the lotto. At least that win $5000 a week for life. That is 260k before taxes. That is more than the damn president makes a year.

    I have some more rants. Just don't feel like typing much more right now.

    And if you like D&D, try Neverwinter Nights for the pc. It is an awesome game

    2:05 am
    I don't check my e-mail for 2 1/2 days, and I come back to 590 e-mails. What the fuck spambot list did I get on?

    Went to DFP over the weekend, was an awesome show.
    The Strokes suck more dick than all the hookers in NY combined. They barely moved, and when I say that I mean I have seen cardboard cutouts with more motion than them.
    Korn fucking ruled, so glad I get to see them again in a few days.
    New Found Glory needs to buy a shirt for their god damn guitarist. Say it with me folks "If I am too fat, I should be wearing more than just shorts and sneakers."

    The drawback to sitting 10th row, was I got really fucking sunburned. I turned redder than a god damn lobster, and it is fucking painful too.

    Time to go now, god damn world cup is really fucking up my sleeping patterns. But there have been some awesome games.

    9:33 pm
    Dammit.

    I win 4 straight drafts in a row on MTG:Online, just to have them wipe my collection today. Fucking annoying.

    And as far as the Harry/15 year old saga. I can't believe a word Harry says about it anymore. Just gonna keep myself as far away from it as possible

    "There is a fine line between courage and foolishnes, just too bad it isn't a fence"

    3:04 am
    "I'm not going to jail again."

    I am truly getting sick of hearing those words come out of harry's mouth.
    Cause I am not so sure I believe that he has the control to not fuck the 15 year old.

    4:35 am
    God damn it is boring.

    Hopefully something will be on TV.
    Otherwise it is off to 7-11 for snacks, then back to FF6 till around 9 or 10 am when hopefully Harry will have the store open.

    As a parting note:

    Fuck you all.

    Thank you goodnight, and please die.
    4:25 am
    Just won and online constructed tourney.
    God I hate Blue/Green madness decks, but i laugh my ass of when they get 4 roar of the wurm in hand, have 4 land and I play a Braids.

    Madness sucks the biggest dick imaginable.
    3:46 am

    which Episode II character are you?




    Senator Palpatine. First acquaintances do not see you for who you really are. You have a great power inside you, and are already beginning to manipulate those around you. You cannot stand do-gooders and are plotting against everybody to finally get what it is that you want. Power. In order to gain power, you need someone strong and intelligent - and there is one....





    Why am I not surprised?
    3:33 am
    I need to make more friends with people in different time zones. It sucks being up at 3 or 4 am and having no one to talk to.
    Friday, May 17th, 2002
    2:01 am
    God damn.

    Re-doing the hair dye, since i got it cut and the natural color was showing.
    So now i can't wear my headphones cause it would fuck up both the dye and the headphones.
    Musicless internet sucks.

    1:36 am
    That is so dick. Was one of the first 4 waiting for a constructed tourney in MTG:Online. Of course it doesn't pick me to play.
    1:23 am
    At least some cool stuff happened in EQ today.
    Almost done with my epic quest.
    For the EQ illiterate, that is a long tiresome quest that results in one of the best weapons for your class in the game.
    Also got more uber armor.

    Destroyed Denise in Mordheim, but it was mostly lucky dice rolling.

    12:30 pm
    God dammit. Misread the work schedule.
    Woke up and went to work just to see I didn't have to be there till 2morrow.

    Damn it
    2:44 am
    Oh my fucking god!!!!

    The 26 year old mentioned lower. Lets call him Harry, cause that is his name.

    Well, he keeps bringing up how he thinks the girl is attracted to him even though he told her nothing will happen. I recommend that he cut her off before she gets too attached to him and let her know that he is just a friend. and the tool responds with....

    " I dont know what would make it less painfull, the long and short is that i like the girl being around, i like her personality, and i dont want her going away because i am not going to risk what the consequences, may or may not be.

    I guess i too have a lot of spring cleaning i have to do in my brain... My stomach is killing me, worrying too much. And the long and short of it is, right now, i would rather have her around making me smile, despite the potential for danger. That is, i think i am confident that i will not be going to jail, i am doing nothing wrong."

    I mean jesus fucking christ, could that possibly be saying. I want to string this kid along as much as possible then crush her spirit any more? Or i am just reading too much into my friend's personality?

    You would figure that with all the years of therapy I have gone through people would actually listen to my god damned advice. If there is one thing i am good at it is listening and problem solving. Because stuff like that keeps me busy and sane.
    BUT NOOOOOOOOO god forbid something think about the emotions and feelings of anyone but themselves. ( yeah, i am a hypocrite, so fuck off and die)

    Its days like today that make me wonder who i should shoot myself or everyone else. It also makes me wonder if i can get enough bullets to shoot everyone else.

    I think Einstein phrased it best
    "There are only two endless things in this world. The universe, and mankind's stupidity. And we are still not sure about the first one"

    I will leave you all today with some quotes from Shakespeare.
    They will either make you think or confuse you. Either way accomplishes my goal.

    This above all: to thine own self be true

    There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so

    The devil can cite Scripture for his purpose

    Cowards die many times before their deaths; The valiant never taste of death but once.
    Of all the wonders that I yet have heard, it seems to me most strange that men should fear;
    Seeing that death, a necessary end, will come when it will come

    Nothing in his life became him like the leaving it; he died as one that had been studied in his death to throw away the dearest thing he owed, as 't were a careless trifle

    The private wound is deepest

    Sleep seldom visits sorrow; when it doth, it is a comforter

    When sorrow comes, they come not single spies, but in battalions

    Those are just some of the ones I copied down while I was reading.

    I love when people ask how i feel most of the time.

    Go listen to "Hurt" by Nine Inch Nails repeatedly for at least 3 days.

    Then you might have an idea of what it is like to be me.....
