nothing in life that's worth having;

Retro Thinkin'

Thu, 23 Jul 2009 22:04:23 GMT

It's been awhile since I've posted anything on here, and a lot has changed since I have. But everything about my life has improved for the better. I really could not be happier with my life right; despite no job. Everything else is something next to perfect.

I've always wanted to open my own salon, and when I pictured it in my head, it was always retro looking. But I felt "Who would go to this type of salon?" So I started thinking about a salon that catered to the rich and fancy. But the more I thought about it, the more I didn't like the idea of something representing me and my name, yet it was something I wasn't even into or even liked. I'm not into the snot-nosed high end salons: AT ALL!! I wouldn't even enjoy going into work and doing things that made me feel like I just opened a salon that was just like 90% all salons Walnut Creek and on to the city. I wanted something that screams "ME", I wanted a place that was fun, a place people wanted to go (all walks of life, all budgets), I want to own a place that I would enjoy working at.

I've always had a fascination for old school barbershops. I loved the chairs, the old men who had been doing it for 50 years, the vibe, everything about it. So I am now on this idea of opening a barbershop (and salon, as well) that the main attraction is pin-up girls servicing men the way an old school barber would. I'd want the entire place to have a rockabilly, old car shop vibe to it. I want all the girls to dress retro, pin-up or rockabilly. And if any men worked there they'd have to dress like a greaser, or anything 50's and pre, with slicked back hair. I would still have coloring and cutting done as well, and women are able to come in as well. I'd have a mini boutique sellings brands like: Sailor Jerry, Trophy Queen, My Baby Jo, and the likes!

I know exactly where I'd do it. In Downtown Antioch by the water! If I remember correctly, the old Harley store on the corner has been out of business for quite some time and that spot would be perfect. If I only I could rent that right now and start this business going. I want to get my Barbering License as well, so I can cater to everyone who steps in my door. I'd love for the girls to get their barbering license too. I'll teach them what I know, and they can Apprentice under me for 400 hours and get theirs also.

My dad opened his cabinet making business when he was 23, and I just turned 22 this year. This idea is not impossible, and I would really like to work towards it. Even if it takes a few years, it'll be worth it in the end.

so, i decided to search back through an old LJ from circa 2005. and i became totally nostalgic over my life as a little youngster. not having a care in the world, no bills, no job, no real responsibilities but brushing my teeth and taking a shower. and it really got me thinking that i need to start writing in here again. not just to vent or write pointless entries. but really say things that are going in my life, events that have happened, etc... cos 5 years from now i can come back to this and read and remember things that i may have forgotten.

such as an entry from the old journal, i would never remember the time i took a bite from james' taco and didn't tell him and he thought the workers at jack in the box took a bite from it!! hahaha... i almost started to cry from laughing so hard when i read that. jesse was there too and made me instantly want to call him and tell him about it. gah, i miss that boy! he's always crossing my mind. he's like my little brother, and i never get to see him anymore since we've grown and gone different ways. things definately changed when i left james. the crew no longer hung around each other, james got rather annoying and freaky, dan became a totally different person to be arond, half of everyone hates each other, eddie moved, travis became the worlds biggest dick, antony is now in a band that is about to be big, josh is still josh... NO ONE and i mean NO ONE hangs out anymore... and thats the way life goes. me and dan are the only ones who've stayed in contact with each other, who've remained true friends still. and i'm really happy with that because dan is like a brother and his family is a second family to me. i may not always call him, or see him, but i still think about him and want him to be find happiness and be okay. i still worry about him, and i still will always be there for him. i feel this way with jesse too, except we've been on a 3 year phone tag. he calls me when i'm not by my phone or i'm busy, and i'll call him and he won't get me. then like once very 2 or 3 months we'll get each others call and talk and want to hang out, but niether of us makes the plan or move or phone call to hang out. i definately know for sure that before i move i need to see jesse again. i love that kid!! he always made times good, and was always a friend when i needed one. he'd never let anyone hurt me or break me down. even when i was james he'd get pissed at james or smack james for being a dumbass. he was ALWAYS on my side no matter what, evn if it meant he was being against his best friend.

tomorrow i'm going to call jesse and remind him about the time when we went to jack in the box and i took a bite of james' taco. haha... i can remember it so clearly! then after we went to a party and stole their beer.

oh, i miss being young.

So I found something that I ABSOLUTELY have to have, regardless of the fact that, 1: i have no job, 2: should not even be spending a damn dime (even on the tattoo for my birthday), 3: do i really need more clothes?

BUT! Its a one of a kind work of art! I can't deny it for many reasons: its a Social Distortion shirt made into a tight ass hoodie, its has green on it, it has black and whtie stripes which is one of my many obsessions, it totally rocks for St. Patty's day which is a holiday that I must celebrate due to it being my dad's birthday and I'm irish. So I believe I have enough reason why its a good buy.

Come on, you can't tell me that its fucking awesome?

if this came at me...

this totally made my night.

the world is mine.

Thu, 05 Mar 2009 06:24:14 GMT

the world is mine. i believe in the wonder, i believe this new life to gain, like a god that i'm under; there's a drug running through my veins. i believe in the wonder. i believe i can touch the flame. there's a spell that i'm under. got to fly, i don't feel no shame.

the world is mine. the world is mine. the world is mine. the world is mine.

i've lost my fear to war and peace. i don't mind that, the world is mine. you took the price and realize that to your eyes; the world is mine. take a look what you've started. in the world flashing from your eyes and you know that you've got it from the thunder you feel inside. i believe in the feeling, all the pain that you left to die. believe in believing in the life that you give to try.

the world is mine. the world is mine. the world is mine. the world is mine.

i've lost my fear to what appears. i do my best; the world is mine. you seem surprised and realize that to your eyes, the world is mine.

the world is mine. the world is mine. the world is mine. the world is mine.

friends only?

i'm over the private crap.
its the internet for christ's sake!
and nothings private these days, everyone's always gonna find something out.

so, for all those who'd love to read. go for it.
