This is great. I am going to be the bestman in my besfriends wedding, according to if she says yes. That's right it's my "call of duty" as he refered to it as. It's the season on weddings, and best of all it will all take place overlooking the hills of Tennesee. yay, it makes me kinda sad, because i never thought he would be getting married before me. But wait she still has to say yes, but i am sure she will. I wish that kid the best of luck and if he is reading this, i love you man and i am glad your life is comming around. What an evening. |

| my little get away |
[Oct. 16th, 2005|12:21 am] |
So i had a little get away to wrap up the hell of the last two weeks i have had. I got to give my gift, eat some great food and ect. Lets see friday i went to galveston and got out hotel room. Went to the beach, came back to the room and had some drinks then went on a boat ride to see the sunset. Then we went to have a steak dinner... (lol long story behind that) then we walked the beach some more, came back and got drunk and woke up to the sun rising into our awesome room. Today we walked the strand, went to the artober fest and had some ice cream. Did some more water stuff and then came into Houston. We saw waiting and then went to dinner. All in all it was a great weekend summed up way too fast. If you want detail ask me... i just want to show off the great view my room had.

So i made this for a really good friend of mine..... Thing about it is that i made this all from hand, and am totally happy with the outcome. Being artistic in any way has become a passion for my lately and i hope that she enjoys it with all the time and effort i put towards this..... And yes that is real silver and real amethyst.
Anyway, went and saw the suicide girls show, that was pretty damn hot... Also so the great Mark Gardner and Black Rebel Motorcycle club recently. It's been a good few weeks, just busy as hell.... Either way i have gotten closer to all my friend, and hell we even tell each other we love each other. That's what real friendship is about, and i am glad to have such close friends in such a big transitional period of my life. |

So within the past week i have written 2 incredibly meaningful songs. I guess being back in Houston and dealing with all the things that have happened lately built up some character. I am really looking forward to getting this stuff recorded and playing a few shows. I am also looking forward to getting this business started. The set date is september 15th now so i have a lot of work to do till then. i am really excited about the business, but more excited about my music. I have literally locked myself in my room with my monitor off, tv unplugged and whishkey-a-plenty by my side and written. It's not even like i am forcing myself to do this, i just want to do this. This is going to be interesting, i've even had a friend take some shots for a website/album cover thing. If you have the myspace go check it out on there. http://www.myspace.com/shamirm. By for now internet.... off to wooooooooooork |

So I am home in Houston again. This time I got done what i set out to get done. Pretty amazing that i actually got the house decorated, 2 trees and all the other stuff. I'll post picture when i get a chance to have some taken. But otherwise it has been a calm and depressing day. I talked to my niece and it sucks to come home and not see her. I actually convinced Alicia to bring Leiah down for the day on Christmas day, so i might be able to see her. I am so thankful for that chance, because i miss her so much, and i never realized that i would.
Right now I am listening to the Smashing Pumpkins "Siamese Dream" album. Surreal, because I miss my girlfriend so much right now and I wish she was here with me. Today I walked down the street and stood where we held each others hands. It's so weird because I sit here and look to where my squeaky bed used to be, and I remember that first night that we laid opposite to each other and talked all night long. I can sit here and just see us.
As I said being home is Surreal, but I have come to the conclusion home is where you make it. From this I am able to start me new life and a brighter foot. I guess I am not giving myself or Austin a chance right now because I feel guilt for not being here with my family. But then I remember that I am not far away, and either way I love them and they love me. Right now I am hoping that i will be able to get back into the business, i have been in the dark too long and people say it always gets the darkest before dawn. And I now understand that. I never for one second gave up for myself in college, and I will not give up on my vision and dreams now. Things change over the years, and maybe I have no clue what i want to do down the road, but I feel if I continue doing what i am good at, the right doors will open.
For you to know Ashley, you are the one who taught me to have this attitude with life, and I thank you, and much more importantly I love you. I hope our future can be a bright one as long as we make it that way.
"i used to be a little boy, so old in my shoes
what i chose is my voice, whats a boy supposed to do
the killer in me is the killer in you, my love
i send this smile over to you." |

So this year it's weird. Mom is in bed recovering from surgery, so dad and I are the cooks. There is no Alicia, Carla, or Yasmin. Whats hurts even more is that there is no Leiah. I am cooking todays meal, which everything is going really well so far. It's weird to be switched in roles, now that i am older and the family is older, it's like we are no longer a family. But i am Thankful that everyone is still around and that we get to talk quite often. It's just when you are older things just feel different.
Off that subject, i am trying to plan out my holiday so that i can take off days to come home for christmas and for new years. I really want to be able to spend a lot of time with my Ashley during the holidays. I miss her soo much right now, and i am sure she is having a good time is California.
Oh yes, last night i went to Mai's and i drove through midtown, and it makes me realize how ready i am to move into an urban loft and start a life. Me and Ash discuss quite often our goals, and i feel like they are so within reach, but i need to push myself harder.
But for now live journal Happy Thanksgiving |

So i saw Coheed and Cambria last night. Took the love of my life with for an experience that we both have never shared. It was a great show, and my girlfriend is so hardcore that she got in the pit with me. Talk about love! |

| Where i am now |
[Nov. 11th, 2004|12:30 am] |
So i just got promoted, yay, I'm a boss, and i get to tell people what to do. It's really not cool at all, it's just a job, and it is something that i chose to do well with since that is what was put in from of me. Otherwise, old roommate went mad, new roommate is not crazy, and i think i am settling in pretty well.
Now lets talk about something that is really getting on my nerve. It seems like every person here that goes to a show or to any public even is all to themselves. It's a weird transition, because i am used to being able to go to a show and enjoy myself, even if i just go by myself. The thing here is everyone has a click, and on top of that they are all pretty much fashion whore. This takes me back to my college audio classes. The wise Steve Huston would always say, "it's about the music." He has passion and devotion towards it. Now it seems that knowing ever god forsaken band here is what is important. It is not! You don't have to like everything because it is hip and the lead singer has cute hair. What the hell, the things about classic bands like Tool was the fact they never showed their faces. They let the music carry them. The term "indie" has been handed out like a cheap prostitute in a dark town. Fuck all your indie bullshit, whatever happened to being original, not trying to fit a stereotype. Man, one day i will be able to appreciate music again.
Rant over. |

I feel so sick right now. People say get some rest, you'll feel better. Now i feel like crap, and i have to work tonight. I love the way Ashley takes care of me when i am not feeling well, i wish she could do that all the time.
*Updated* I live in Austin now, and i am interviewing like crazy to get a better position, something 9-5 (no more freelance! ). My patience is wearing thin with these companies, so i have got to get one soon. But I still feel like crap. Sick sick sick. |

Please, Adranch, Granite House, independent-media, ect.... Please call me! I am ready to get out, all it does is rain here. And if another lady in the gigantic Lexus SUV tries to honk at me when i am trying to make an unprotected turn, i swear it's gonna get ugly.
So i have a good girlfriend. In situations she does all the worring for me. Which is nice, but i dont want her to stress herself out when i am in control of the situation. I love her to death, and she's all i want. I hope this test we can overcome. But as i said before i hope i get a job soon so i can move before the crowd goes back into Austin, i have a roomate who was offered to me, so all i need right now is a steady job there. This is me again, Shamir, Dear job god, get me a job in Austin. And if your reading this (you know who you are) dont stress yourself, i will be there soon, and expect many suprises from me. |

| Maybe i'll catch fire |
[Jun. 21st, 2004|11:37 pm] |
So here's the deal. I am ready to move out, get a job and be my own person. Here is the obstacles, need a job in Austin. I also need to figure out if i can get a roomate to split rent with me. Otherwise i can get a one bedroom for like 500 at most, or a two bedroom at 700. Split that with a roomate it is 350, which i like a whole lot more. Did i mention i need a rockin' job. Well even if i don't get a great one i plan on doing things on my own, so i should make out well. Otherwise, i forgot to mention a few things....
I graduated college! And i have the best girlfriend i could of ever asked for. She gave me a great party, and even came early for my graduation, and stayed an extra night to be with me. I love her bunches. Also i am now on a freelance project that should get me a ton of cash with will help me with my obstical of getting a place. Let's see, what else. Oh i have been witting a lot of kick ass music lately, and getting a whole lot faster. So i might only be a little far off from my plan of having my album done this summer. Otherwise i think i am gonna conclude this by saying i love you Ashley (if you are viewing) and that i need a job. Please give me one, ideation1 is cool, but they know the city of Houston has killed my inner child. |

So, hi live journal. You must be pretty mad since i haven't really been comming around a lot latley. No it's not another journal..... it's just that i am busy, i promise.
Well lets sum up my life how it is right now. In less than two weeks i will be graduating college. How about that! But i am looking for a job in Austin right now, and hopefully within in next couple of weeks i will find one. Ummmm..... i just got a new guitar, and i am so busy that it slows me down to blink.
I miss my girfriend so much it's unreal. She goes to Texas State, and i am a Texas size loser for feeling this much longing for a person. But really, i don't care. I love her so much it's unreal. It's funny how she is always on my mind, and everything reminds me of her. 2.5 hours is a long way for some people, but for me it's 2 and a half full length cd's. I hope that one day what me and her have discussed will become a reality. I am hoping that i can get a killer job in Austin, that way i will atleast be closer to her, while still being close to my family. Some people may think that i am asking for a lot, but i don't think i am. I am trying really hard to not make the same mistakes i have made, with other girls with Ashley. I hope that she realizes how much i love her and how much i am dedicated to making everything work and letting our dreams become a reality. I want that same dedication, and i know i always see it in her eyes.
Now it's back to writting lyrics to a song i barely can even play propperly. I miss Ashley, and i hope she's dreaming about me right now.
PS...... GET ME A JOB IN AUSTIN |

Something hit me today, like a bag of bricks. And i realize now, more then ever. I pray to go to hope i have made the right decisions, and i see now that god hasn't sent me anything to say that i am making the wrong ones. It's funny how i can shake all day till i let what i feel out. Ashley told me i was having a day she does, and i told her i have one every day, i just keep it burried. I guess today something came out, which is ok. Right now at 10:45 pm May 4th 2004 i feel more confident than i ever have. |

Man, the weeks suck hardcore. I'm sick of work and sick of offices already. And it sucks because everyone around me is having fun, while i am stuck in classes, stuck in an office and stuck in a frame shop. It almost pisses me off when people call me, and know i am damn well busy, but ask me what''s up. OR when i call people when they ask me to, and they want to do things at times that are out of my feasable scheduel. Then they call me the day after and tell me how much fun they had. Fuck, i'm tired.... |

Have you ever spent 2 hours of your morning trying to remember how to play a metallica song you don't even remember the title for? Wow, that's pathetic. |
