This is a massively long post about life. I really...
This will be vague, probably not at all so much with the making sense. Enjoy. I want to write. I want to sit here and write and vent about the complexities and simplicities of the world. How every word we read is scoured with ignorance. How our lives work from second to second and as ever without purpose. And how no matter how long I sit here what I want to be said will ultimately reside for ever...

i’m introspective by nature, and everyone around me sees it as a negative thing. As if relying on yourself is a bad thing, or not blindly listening and following directions given to you by sources other then yourself makes you a deviant. I’ve learned to think for myself as a result of being let…

My favorite person in the world?
You can admire people you do not truly know, maybe for their music, their words or their work. But what is greater is admiring them not for what they have done or what they have said - but because you truly fucking love everything that they are. Yes, my favorite person in the world is my best friend. The good news is you can follow him here. He’s new to tumblr and his blog is already better...

A wise man once told me that “honesty is the cornerstone of trust”.. Guess I could never fully understand this until I proved the theory right. How can I be trusted?
They've turned you into something you are not.
Something I just can’t stop.
UGH. FUCK THIS SHIT.

Does anyone dare lend me 14 minutes of their life?
Back when I was young/er I spent 14 minutes one evening in front of a microphone, with a guitar (in god knows what tuning), by a heater (because the boiler was broken.) Here was the result. It will send you to sleep I hope. http://jonnygleadell.bandcamp.com/track/lost I’ve not lived long enough to make my bed. I would love if I could give up. I am lost.

Yes people change, but their fundamental personality and values do not. So either you were lying about the basics and the above everything’s of who YOU ARE, or you are lying to yourself now. I’m fully aware of what’s going on. I know what/how and why i’m changing. In the long run it’ll be for the worse, but right now it’s harmless.

I tried drumming to TTNG the other day. Fucking impossible. My respect for Chris has increased by more folds than you can fold a piece of paper. Like 8/9 fold or something? That much.

Life is messy. And when I think of all the mistakes I have made, all the intricate weaving of bright and dull and torn and pristine patches of the tapestry of my life, so often I find myself buried DEEP in that hole in the ground suffocating and blind in the dark by my own doing. And I remember all those people who I have come to know in my life, even those that pass by me, through me…I...
