It is August 30th. It's been 2 days since me and Dave have hung out and I have not wrote, this is okay because I have been doing other Telepathic Judas related activities, which is essentially what is important in this blog. I am currently watching Melancholia for the first time, trying to get very drunk and uploading some footage to google drive - I will most likely work on it later and play Minecraft tonight. I am very sleepy. I woke up this morning at 10 AM, I was very busy yesterday, however I was able to relax this morning and drink a nice cup of coffee. My mom got home last night about 12:20 AM, she was at a conference in Tulsa and she had a very good time. Last night I filmed a little bit of a music video with my good buddy Ronnie, I bought a 65 dollar video camera on Amazon - it actually looks pretty good. There was a football game last night at some school and there was some road construction that backed traffic up so I took the interstate however Ronnie took me down towards Abraham, which is where my grandfather lived. The song about Ralston is about him. I wasn't too sure if I was in Abraham however, there was a big dip in the road that you can feel in your gut, which I remember when my dad would take me hunting in Abraham he would go real fast down that dip and it was like the only thing I enjoyed about hunting. Eventually, we made it home and there was a BMW in my yard which we filmed some footage in front of (however, it was way too dark, but we made things work). From there me and Ronnie went to a car wash and we were trying to be quick so we didn't get kicked out, however, the physical lock on my SD card was on and kept reading a "protected card" thing, and I ended up being confused and frustrated and jammed the SD card in the camera which I couldn't get out until I got home and then learned SD cards do that for some reason and u just have to put scotch tape on the SD card in a way that will keep the switch from flipping. We ended up filming with Ronnie's phone.

Today was the same sort of situation, however, I didn't have work but I woke up too late an ended up just streaming Minecraft while watching Festen on EffedUpMovies, which is a very good website just for movies like Lars Von Trier and Harmony Korine and Gaspar Noe. I then went to my grandma's and practiced some songs with her, from there I went to Ronnie's house and we hung out at the car meet. It was a bit awkward filming in front of people who didn't really understand, you can kind of see them staring in the background which is funny.
Thursday I left work early so I could watch my dog a little bit before I went over to Dave's. I don't think I watched any movies on Thursday but I did watch Gummo again for the 4th or 5th time on Friday. I came over to Dave's house, it was very good to see him again, I saw him about a week prior at a soundtrack recording thing it was a great time. He's been a busy guy and I always worry about bothering too much, especially when he's busy. I feel bad that I freak out about things like that, specifically and recently, my life has been a little out of control in regards to work and stress and my weight and blood pressure and I worry my art is the only thing I have control over. I'm a bit neurotic about those things. Once I saw Dave and we started working, I felt a lot better about everything - it was good to get those emotions I had invested in those lyrics out and onto something external that way the song felt more about me and my buddy working together rather than some sadness I had a long time ago. I think that's something that's important in music, at least to me. For example, I cried when I wrote "The Last Time I Ever Wrote This Song" and I cried when I wrote "Tracey Austin" however, whenever I listen to those songs, I don't think of what the songs are about (or at least try not to), I think about what a good time me and Seth had recording those songs. That's the same way I feel about deaththreads, while I'm glad those feelings out, I just want people to know me and my good buddy had a great time recording all those songs. Anyway, me and Dave recorded this very good song that's very good and has bongos that sound like Super Mario 64 which is exactly what I want. I recorded my grandma reading an NA prayer today, that I hope we'll use on that song. I'm excited for that song, it does need mixed and what not but I think the song sounds very good. The alcohol is kicking in and I am sleepy so I am going to bed after posting this. I did not take many pictures from when me and Dave hung out, but I did take this one so we could remember a keyboard preset:
