4:40 am - long time coming....
|
Hi.
Lots to say.
First and most important Michael Jackson. What a fucking asshole. He had to be stubborn. Because of this, I believe, he died. I miss him. I grew up on his music with my mom I remember in Texas (the first time) when I was a kid having the neighbors over because MTV was playing a Michael Jackson video marathon or a live concert. I remember the Heal the World concert. I remember watching Moonwalker. My mom doesn't remember Moonwalker. I watched it recentley. Damn I forgot how much fun he was. I am heartbroken. When he died, that Saturday it hit me hard. I couldn't stop crying. This is the reason I came up with. As a musician, I've never lost one. Sure actors have died that I thought was sad but this. Most people probably don't appreciate his music Some of the songs he wrote were fucking right on. Lyrically and musically. Never will there be another like him. Music lost something trully irreplaceable.
Other notes... I moved out again. I live in historic Oregon City, Oregon. Awesome. I live with my boyfriend Mikey. It's a nice place too. For me it is. It's good to be on my own again.
Work is still good.
I met some old friends again on facebook. Awesome. I am bad at keeping in touch. I feel like you want to talk to me. Come over and do it. Stupid big country.
My brother got married on July 4th. I was a groomsmen. I wore a pink dress. Been a long time for that. Cory (my brother) was impressed. I made Mikey wear a suit. He looked so handsome. Damn can he wear a suit. He had a pink tie to match my dress :) I am happy for Cory and Kim. She is really nice. I hope they will be happy for a long time.
Sad news.. I haven't written a new song in about two years. Don't get me wrong, music is not the problem. Lyrically, however, nothing. I learned a cover of Smooth Criminal. Puppy Spunk! style. Hopefully when fall hits I'll have something to say. Always get inspired during the fall. I am working on a cd though. Just trying to get it to sound good. My goal is to record a cd and send it to Loveless Records by the end of the year. Whether or not something comes of it I don't care. I would just like to know what they think. My dad is really into my music. That for me is all I need. :) I know I am damn good now.
Anyway.. Enough is enough Much love And may the King be moonwalking wherever he is.

9:48 am - Another year has passed....
|
So it's been a while. As always.
Got me a new computer. No more stupid, slow ass piece of shit.
Not to much going on.
Still working at Target Still love working at Target.
Norville is still a fatty.
I can't believe it's been almost a year since I've been in Texas I miss it so much I miss the people. Hi JJ! :)
It's been cold.
We had a bunch of snow for Christmas. That was cool. Only missed a day of work. I was sick anyway, plus the day I called out the truck couldn't make it to the store anyway. So yay me. I got to spend time with my sister. I had to baby sit her when she first got here though. She took too much xanax on the plane. She was fucked up. Pissed me off. Oh! I've never been so mad. She took a dive at the airport. She tripped over the huge ass conveyor belt for luggage. Stupid bitch. After all that though, she was awesome. She got me into guitar hero so I had to go out and buy a playstation and guitar hero. I'm a bit better than her She's been playing for a year I've been playing for a month. Love it though. I think it'll help with my guitar playing I wrote a new song. It's sounds a bit different (in my opinion) to what I usually play. Since I live with my parents now I can't get inspired, so I have no lyrics for it yet
In Texas I played at a bar called Tripps and my friend Atheena has a public access show. She came and taped me and it aired this year. A guy saw me on there and loved me. It's awesome to have someone that enjoys what I do. The music I make. I take my music seriously. I have some songs that I can't believe I wrote because they are so perfect musically and lyrically. It feels good to create something that's beautiful and just freaking awesome.
I need to update my band site. I will soon. I need to start recording again as well. Since I have a new computer it shouldn't be so retarded to do.
Anyway. I think that's it. I miss everyone and hope everyone is well.
Much love,
-little rikki

6:17 pm - My god.. get a kittie, get three.... you'll live forever
|
Skittles turned 8 today. Gray, grumpy, bastard... :) He got some ice cream. Damn.. so cute.
So here is what happened..
My nephew got this thing you twirl and it flys around. It's a stick with propellers on top. I did it. It fell behind the counter, hit Skittles on the back He freaked out Sid freaked. Sid spilled the crunchies and water everywhere. Norville then stepped in the water twice. It was.......retarded.
Talk about being special. Schpecial...
Also I think Norville is gay. So three cats. One is a grupmy old man One loves you one second then wants to rip your hand off the other and one is fat and possibly gay Life is never boring around here :)
Anyway, that's the post for today All about the kittie's
Much love,

2:40 am - guess what?
|
My nephew is retarded Don't care if you're five years old :)
His new phrase is Guess what? Seriously. My mom stupmed him a few times on that. The expression on his face. Fucking priceless.
Went to my aunt and uncle's for a barbecue My cousin lives there too. (mother of my nephew) I hung out with my aunt and uncle.
Jennifer (my cousin) seemed to just be waiting till a guy friend of hers got there. So... pretty much, the whole night, I shot darts with my uncle. His day off. Also shot with my aunt. Love her. It was fun. He was happy to have someone to drink with. I was happy to oblige.
It was just rude I thought. Honestly, didn't care. I had a blast hanging out with Uncle Doug.
Oh yeah. Got a job a Target. Only thing available and for hire. Overnight stocking. Nice. So, hopefully to start next week, but I have to pee in a cup tomorrow. That and background check takes about five days. Don't think I'll make orientation by Monday. If not the week after next I start. Awesome. Unemployment kicks in Monday so not to worried about it. Much love

1:20 am - dolphins are assholes...
|
It's been a while... A couple small things and then a recap of a few things going on...
Music. Elbow. Freaking awesome. Ryan Adams cover of Wonderwall. Freaking awesome. Haunting.
Comedy. Saw this guy's special on comedy central. (Kirk Fox) My god. Really put things into perspective. Check out Cars and Sea Lions. http://www.comedycentral.com/comedians/browse/f/kirk_fox.jhtml
Now for some business.. Still don't have a job. I have unemployment thanks to Texas. Not that I'm not looking. I've lost out to two interviews and no one is hiring. Get the runaround with, we're not hiring right now but please keep calling. Stupid. I have hope though.
Went to the beach with my grandma, aunt and parents. We threw rose petals where my grandpa had his ashes dumped. It's been seven years since I've done that. It was nice. Ate at the Pig N Pancake in Seaside. I'll tell ya. I forgot how cool Seaside is. That have shops, an arcade, a carousel, a tilt-a-whirl and the beach. I'll have to spend sometime down there. A couple weeks ago, we dumped my grandpa's (mom's side) ashes at his favorite fishing spot. A smaller beach on Sauvie Island. He got sick and died right after my dad's retirement. I can't help but feel responsible for that. I was sick. The day after the retirement I got really sick. I just wonder if it was me. My mom helped alot with her mom going through his things, getting rid of crap. She's having a yard sale this weekend over there.
Mikey is moving here in September. It'll be nice to have him around. I miss Texas. It hurts sometimes thinking about it. I mean I pretty much worked and drank but what the hell else is a 24 year old suppose to do.
Anyway, nothing else to report. Really. I don't do a damn thing. Once I get a job, I'm going to start looking for open mics around here. Start playing, meeting people.
Oh yeah! Randi is coming here December 20th. I can't wait to see her. I miss her.
Alright, miss and luv everyone. Hi JJ :)

3:11 pm - grenades and more greandes
|
So.... Interesting couple of days.
My grandpa died a couple months ago, so my mom and grandma were going through his stuff. He collected guns and they found two grenades and a mortar shell Hilarious... So my dad called the cops the other day and they came over. Then they called edu, guys that handle that stuff. The grenades were dead but they weren't sure about the mortar shell. Fucking hilarious man. They also took all the ammo. I however got to keep one gun It's a japanese World War II rifle. Imagine, this gun killed americans. I have it. It's creepy. I love it. He also had a bunch of knives. My mom gave me one. The damn thing isn't even an inch long. If I stabbed someone it's be like a mosquito bite. It's awesome. Good to have protection if I ever get mugged. :)
The five year old nephew is staying with us for the week. He's so cute. So it'll be an interesting week.
Was watching squidbillies. Oh my god. Was watching the episode where Dan Halen was testing his cologone and it was melting the skin of people. Then they had that little sheriff cutting his arm off to get it pointy to get food out of his teeth. The little sheriff arrested a fish and his car. I was hysterical. Damn, I love shit like that. Early Cuyler is freaking adorable. I want him.
Nothing else going on
I went to Tacoma, saw Clover Park, my old high school. It's weird. Being in the military when you move you usually never end up going back to where you lived. Being back in Washington, it's just cool.
Waiting on word about a job at Starbucks. I hope I get it. Need a job.
That's it I miss everybody. I miss Texas. Much love,

12:55 am - philosophy, what's in a name
|
Do you ever wonder if some of the thoughts you have are really yours? A past life maybe, if you believe in such a thing. In my rambling, I am wondering where the hell did that thought come from? The shit that goes on in my head, the ideas, thoughts that are swimming in my head. It's enough for me to wonder Am I crazy? It's fascinating though. The idea of philosophy. The question of why. Are there any more out there. I can't be the only one who loses sleep, or gets creeped by the mere thought of "I wonder, what how and why?" Everything is so simple, yet so complicated. I don't understand. Eh.... I think my brain will keep me lonely til the day I die. It's hard to be here with someone else, when I am always there with my thoughts. I doubt there is a guy that has a rope for the over there me. Who can keep me thethered and be here with him, but also join me over there for the 'phantom tollbooth, I don't understand but this is freaking awesome side.' Guess I need to get a dog and a watch huh... Much love Goodnight

So... Mt. Rushmore was awesome. Abe is hot. I got pictures! I got a lot of Abe stuff at the wax museum which was very interesting. We are now in Spokane, Washington. We will be in Portland tomorrow. So happy. Norville is happy too. He's been such a good kittie, so have the other two. They can't wait for this to be done though. After tomorrow it's house hunting time. We have to find the perfect grandparents house for my parents. Anyway, Miss and love everyone.

7:02 pm - stuck on the road
|
what's up pups! So, we are in South Dakota. We are going to Mt. Rushmore tomorrow They have a statue of Lincoln I can make out.....I mean sit next to :) So hot. It'll be fun. We have about four more days on the road. Thank god. I love my parents but being on the road with only them for ten days is annoying. I can't wait to get to Portland and call my sister or my friend Mikey. Someone I can actually talk to. Anyway, just letting you know how it's going. The driving is good. I enjoy it. Time flies when you're driving. I can't wait to get to sleep though I miss all of you and wish everyone well. Much love,

3:45 am - 91 weeks since my last update............and still nothing to say
|
Hello... Been a while....
For starters I am in Georgia. I'll be here for the next month and then me and the parents are automobiling our way to Portland, Oregon.... yes, looking forward to that It's not that I hate driving Just that I hate other drivers Plus I got a furball who adores me to contend with in the backseat. If I haven't mentioned I got a cat two years ago I came home from work and he was chilling in fron of my door So I fed it and couldn't get rid of it He's a black squishy, licking machine named Norville Norville Barnes to be exact Yes.... after Tim Robbin's character in the Hudsucker Proxy.. Trust me, it fits him purrfectly
Portland will be good A chance to start fresh Some new scenery will do me some good Texas not so good to look at I learned a lot in TExas It was kind of like my high school I learned alot about myself and people in general I'll miss everyone but time to move on
Portland is where family is Although it'll be weird My grandpa just died He died two days after getting back from here My dad retired 30 years in the Air Force Chief Master SergeantIt was a beautiful ceremony. My dad's a heart breaker :) At least my grandpa got to see that It's sad.... getting older, everything changes I don't like the changing part
I'll be 24 years old March 20th. Technically speaking I'm probably already that old being born on the other side of the world This is only the second birthday I've been away from my sister. It's sad No celebrating together, getting drunk together. Happy Birthday to her!
So far that's it.... Oh, The new Jimmy Eat World cd Sucked. That's sad I just don't get it Can't get into it and for that band to make me feel that way It just sucks Bad Jimmy Eat World, bad
I'll post more later As if anyone reads this crap
Updated my website (just lyrics)... too lazy to post link so copy and paste www.geocities.com/puppyspunkmusic
Much love, Miss everybody I really do I am just horrible at keeping in touch I wish I could get everyone in one small box so I could keep them close
later, -little rikki

So...........
A lot to say
I moved to another apartment in March Off of Perrin Beittel I like it a lot better
I work at Tripps Humor Bar Since March
For all those San Antons I am playing a show Monday at 9pm at Tripps
It's right behind Bill Millers down Pat Booker In front of Randolph AFB
My first bar show I am nervous but really excited I have so much confidence It's amazing how much I haven changed, I love it
My anxiety took a turn for the worst last month I was at work and stepped outside for some air I sat down and couldn't "wake up" A customer brought me into the bar and put me on the pool table I could feel and hear everything that was going on Let me tell you Sternum rubs really hurt, jerks Anyway they had to call an ambulance and that sucked I was scared and confused It was the lowest point of my life I think I realized I had to help myself and take control of my disease When I was restrained the a hospital bed The doc said I had a dissociative episode brought on by my anxiety Basically an out of body experience, split personality I freaked when I looked it up Because from the ambulance to being in the hospital I was completely different I was violent and rude I didn't know why I'm tired of this thing controlling everything I do Not anymore
Tomorrow is going to be a crap day Norville is going in for a checkup and he is getting nudered I then have a dentist appointment after I drop my little boy off Then I have to work Then pick him up Then stay home and make sure he is alright
New song
The Weak
Verse 1: These stars have fade away A shell of a broken name Worthless memories Taste the glass of sweet sorrow
This life has died The world's up for sale No beauty here Just a cold, empty home
Chorus: Don't be like me Don't be the weak Regret's a price to pay Just forget everything
Verse 2: This soul's up fpr grabs Please coin my eyes Be the one to say Good riddance, you poor soul
My hands are full of dirt My flesh filled with rot The candle flame has gone And darkness, swallows me
Chorus:
Bridge: I'm the weak I'm the broken I'm not everyone But I am here to say
Chorus:
End
I wrote this after the hospital
I hope everyone is doing well I miss everybody and think of you often MWAH! so much I squish all of you and give prayers to everyone
Much love
