I'm hating what I'm making, never happy with myself, always striving for something, never looking for something else, I know what I want, I know what I need, But I can't tell the difference or the reason to take heed, It's just the way I am, my personality is the flaw, I am the blemish in my life, that's the only reason for my miserable mind...
OK let's get one thing straight, the layout on this site sucks. I write something in Word, and for some reason it looks totally different here. Then I have to go back and edit it, except I have to do stupid things to get it to space right like insert hyphens and apostrophes. Whatever, I'm frustrated.
My Name is Jeremy, I live in the state of Misery (oops, I meant Missouri, or did I?), and I spend most of my free time thinking about things that I most people probably don't worry about because what they are doing this weekend is more important. I'm not saying everyone is like that, but a lot of people I run into are. I'm not very outgoing, and if you see me in public I'll probably be off in the corner by myself somewhere. I tend to come off as an @$$hole at first, because of my lack of social skills I'm sure, but if you take the chance to get to know me you'll realise that I'm not all that bad. (and realise definitely looks cooler with an s than a z, dang Brits and their cool spelling.)
My stuff is mostly poems that I wrote sometime in my former life. I am more of a musician than a writer, but I would also like to use this site to meet writers, because writers are cool, I think. I write crappy songs and whatnot. The words sound good with the music, but by themselves I believe them to be rather weak. So I suck, what is new. I am currently trying to write a set for solo electric bass guitar (nothing too complicated, just some cool riffs thrown together with some fills and weird timings and such) and also acoustic guitar so I can play at open mics around town. I have become fascinated by recording with a four-track cassette recorder. Sound quality is not particularly important to me. I like me music to sound imperfect because it just adds depth in my opinion. Like listening to old Miles Davis records. I play left handed, and used to think that left handed people were cool. Um, now I just think they are weird, damn minorities.
I try to live a Earth friendly lifestyle. I do not really know why, I just like to be different I guess. I have stopped buying things new unless I have to, and have been buying as much as I can from thrift stores. You would be surprised about some of the stuff you can find. I have been vegan for about a month, and have no plans on going back. I like to bicycle, although it has been a few years since I have been an avid cyclist and all the stamina and endurance I had built up is pretty much gone. I have a very old 10-speed racing bike that from what I have researched was made around 1970. It is in tip top shape, and it is one of my Earthly possessions that I value most. Five miles seems like forever, and it being winter does not really help, my hands pretty much freeze to the handlebars. Well, anyway, I would love to tour with my bicycle, but being in school and work and living a boring normal life, I cannot seem to squeeze that in. I can't wait for it to be warm again, and now I find myself rambling on and on. I love long reviews because I like to read, especially when it is about something I wrote or at least to me (not trying to be conceited or anything). So drop me a line. I will respect you, as long as you respect me, and I get off track a lot so feel free to slap me.
Oops, I almost forgot. I like coming up with funny phrases in Spanish also. Like "Enciende el fuego en la basura de la biblioteca." or "El gato leyo el periodico en el bano." Wow, I have too much time on my hands. Todos las dias, soy consado y tengo hambre.
