Last blog on myspace, I rarely venture to this corner of the internet anymore, so I have decided to continue my blogs on a website called blogger. If for any odd reason at all, you decide to continue checking out my blogs, which no one does anymore, the link is:http://mikesmithiii.blogspot.com/
*EDIT http://mikesmithiii.tumblr.com/ *
here’s my last blog..
Ok, so I have had fresh in my mind, the ride I took the other night, I was indeed intoxicated, but not terribly. I was listening to a song I listen to pretty often and every time I do it really strikes a chord. It seems to run parallel with my life, which is surprisingly alot like other things. My friend Dennis and I share the same life almost, it seems like.
Basically what this song reciprocated, was what’s been on my mind lately. What is happiness? Pure, happiness. I have ‘been begging for change’ in order to heal my happiness. Now that that change has occurred, I wonder if it’s what I’ve always been asking for. I’ve been on both side of the unrelenting mirror, on both sides I saw myself as a different being. A happy person. When the tides had turned, I found myself the same miserable sap that existed in the first place. Maybe being miserable is what makes me. Happy could only mean feeling lost, and confused. For me, I’m feeling the best when I’m low. The best feeling comes from sharing a moment with someone struggling as much as yourself. Sitting down, cutting the bullshit, having a meaningful talk over some sort of steadying substance, laying things out, and finally understanding what is really important. If I could count these moments i wouldn’t even surpass ten. See, to indulge in these moments, you need a trigger. Something I haven’t had. I’ve been experiencing what some people call happiness, which evades these wild scenarios.
I wonder, sometimes, if I’m asking for too much, but I think it’s strange that happiness seldom happens, only in small spurts do I experience it. Maybe it’s time I give up the hunt, but I keep thinking, maybe it will come..
You know your just so sure of wanting more, but nobody has a clue. You party with a secret smile, doesn’t that get you? This taste is bitter except your, finished and done and lying in bed.
This isn’t too selfish, right?

“nobody has a clue”
It’s about that time. People don’t quite understand the two of us. We’re lost souls that create a whole, when together. We both have regrets, but not much can change. We are where we are because we both made decisions, despite our efforts, we managed to screw ourselves over. It’s funny because we both did this without notice, or thoughts of the future. Tonight was just an accident. I had a wonderful night, but i think its because I was miserable for the majority of the night. Tomorrow’s thanksgiving and I am thankful. I should probably be the last person on earth to complain, but I find myself complaining every moment of everyday. I just wish that for once happy meant happy. There were only two moments (a month’s span of time) where I felt genuine happiness. I just wish more recent moments of my life were the same.

“We Have A Crisis”
First day back at CCC today, and it was awful! It all started with this hurricane sort of weather. The wind and rain beating on my window was almost like a hand reaching out and shaking me awake. I ended up waking 2 hours earlier than expected. Once I arrived on campus, I entered my designated building and could already feel something queer about my situation. It eventually came to my attention that the classroom on my schedule was actually some other class that had nothing to do with me, or my major. I then ventured over to the student center to figure out where on earth my first class was. After I covered this treacherous and wet journey, I was told that my class was being held in the Lecture Hall in a completely different building. I showed up late, and I had the wrong book.
Later on in my day I accidentally sat in a left handed desk and had trouble keeping up with the lesson since my math book hasn’t arrived in the mail yet.. Finally to top of a rather awkward day, I was sitting in my life guarding chair at the high school, reading, waiting for the divers to finish so I could go home and eat ,when out of nowhere a kid walks in and says, ‘do you drive a white jeep cherokee?, I think i bumped into your car.’ I checked to make sure it wasn’t mine, and it turned out there was another white jeep cherokee who’s owner probably wouldn’t be too happy. A sigh of relief fell over me, but I couldn’t wait to just get the hell home and enjoy some homemade tacos =]
inspiration has been raining on me all day. Ever since I got the text message from Serge saying we were going to proceed with our musical endeavor and record our third ‘Like City Light’ installment. I was thrilled, and I already has ideas brewing!
If you haven’t heard any of our stuff, check it out, it’s not too shabby!

Welcome to my tumblr.! I promise I won’t be posting nearly as much as I have been. I just wanted to keep all of my blogs on here from my myspace, since I never use it anymore.
Right now I’m sitting in a hotel room in Long Island, New York with like 6 other dudes, watching Jersey shore… It’s not as fun as it sounds haha. I can’t wait to return to Vineland so I can see Corrine =]
I’m new to tumblr, welcome me with love =] and follow me!

“Time slows, slower and slower.”
Wow, what has happened to me. i feel like writing now, just isn’t the same. I’m in a relationship now, something that I have avoided (or at least tried to avoid for the longest time). My band has released a new EP since my last blog and I finally have an up and running Studio in my room, it’s ghetto, but its what I love. I’m starting my attempt at becoming a producer with a few familiar faces. Jump, the Gun has decided to allow me to produce for them which is a great honor, they’re fun as hell to be around and have an amazing sound.
Song writing had been rather difficult these past few months. It seems you can only write so much about being happy, when being miserable brings many emotions and motivation to let it out on paper, and express it through notes, and melody. It’s an odd sort of feeling, knowing your only feeling good when you couldn’t be more upset, but I’ve found recently that happiness for me comes through the little things. I like tiny slivers of life at once, too much thrown at me makes me uncomfortable and irritable. Someday soon, I just hope that being happy means happiness, and not some sort of other misconstrued and complicated irony.
I’ve been giving numbers a lot of thought, and I think it would be interesting to see how much one could write about a single number. Maybe soon, I’ll release a song about the number 10, or 5. It’d be a trip, but we’ll see what happens.
It’s been a while, but I’ll be around.
