It's all good

Random fact:

I was not quite developed into down-strumming quickly on my guitar. If that didn't make sense, I just couldn't keep up with most blink-182 songs and yellowcard songs I played along to with my sweet guitar.

Now onto better things.

I've been working (as you may have read in one of my last posts) and it's all good. Life is good. Work is good. My bank account is looking substantial...ly AMAZING!! So yeah. It's all good

But it can always improve.

I think after I graduate high school, I'm gonna move it on over to Anchorage or some city and get a freakin' radical apartment. Ya know, just to get the feel of living on my own before I move onto bigger things. Like a college. Or being a major rockstar. (joke) (insert sound of crickets here) (no this post is not my graduation speech)

That's what I'm shooting for anyway. Things change, times change, blah blah blah. Right now I'm focused on not missing any more work, and later finishing high school. Not a bad idea right? I'd like to make an absurd amount of money. Just to have. And spend. Spending money is great. Like concerts.

OH!

I may be hitting up the Alaska State Fair again. Quite possibly.

Now I know what your thinking, the fair is in the middle of August and school will have started by then and I will miss school like it died and went away. wait a sec.. no i won't. But still, I'll be absent. How am I supposed to graduate high school if I'm gonna be missing school and lollygaggin' with my homies at the state fair?! I'll figure that out.

Allow me to explain my average day at work.

At first, my job was to decontaminate the trucks that backed into contaminated soil to dump dirty dirt. VERY slow job. They dump dirt, we scrub the tires with brushes, the truck leaves, we wait for the next truck.

Def con level 3 suckage.

But that was when I first started my job. I then became a PCB sampler (PCB is a contaminant or something..) I'd recieve a dainty little zip-loc bag with a brawny little spoon and a nice pair of rubber boots that go over my steel-toe boots and protect them from being contaminated. I call them duckies. Just because they're yellow and when we'd dress up in our white tyvek suits we'd look like Donald Duck without his first-class blue vest. Then we'd trek into the contaminated soil to scoop the dirt. And VOILÀ! I'm sampling. Its a decent job. It keeps me active and what not.

I sampled for like two weeks straight before I was downgraded back to a decon guy. Although it felt nice to go from walking around in contaminated dirt all day, to doing nothing once again. And that's what I'm doing now. You learn to love it.

Other days, when there is nothing to do on the job site, we fill sand bags. With sand. Clean, uncontaminated sand. The sand bags are used as a type of paperweight to keep a very large tarp called a "liner" down on the pile of dirt that the trucks dump dirt in. We have to pull the liner off and on daily to ensure the stockpile of dirt is protected. The sand bags weigh like 34.5 pounds. I think. And carrying them around can sometimes be a workout. 

That's all I've been doing during my time at work. I've tried a couple of other things, but thats mainly what I do. But I haven't sampled in like 2 weeks. I'm really starting to miss it. I may just request to my SSO (site safety officer) that I want to become a sampler again. Perhaps.

So theres an update on myself. Josh. Kosbruk. The guy that got spit on by Ivan Moody of the metal band Five Finger Death Punch. Okay now I'm just stalling.

P.S.

Carrying those sand bags have granted me with a bit more muscle in my arms (mainly forearm) and I can now down-strum to quick blink-182 songs :D

Like Dammit ^

And The Rock Show ^

all day, err'yday

well since its been forever since i last posted i feel that a little update on myself is in necessity.

first and foremost i now have a job that pays $41.66 an hour. that makes $437.43 a day (10.5 hour days) and $2,624.58 a week (6 days of work and 1 day off [sunday])

=D

and then i have nothing to do after work.

>=C

i've already been told that i can now go and get change for all of my money that i make and put it in my bath tub and just sit there.

no.

..........

maybe.

but other than that, my life has become quite repetitive. just uneventful.

in my spare time i've been writing songs. i've written 41 of them and only three have a guitar in them, meaning those three are complete and the other 38 are hitting me with a type of writers block. but with a guitar. also its with an acoustic because i dont have enough equipment to put my electric guitar into garageband..

would you like to know the names of those three songs?!

I Like You

Colorful

&

Fireworks & Popsicles

that last one has a heck of a name right? its like it was put into a random happy song name generator. i like it.

my brothers have left my side to go fishing. i had a choice to go fishing or to stay and work, and i chose to stay and work.

Pros to staying home:

i get to sleep in my own bed.

bathe my filthy, contaminated self daily. (did i mention my job can give me cancer? :/)

make guaranteed money instead of getting a percentage during fishing.

and chill with my cousins and friends. or whats left of my friends.

Cons of staying home:

supreme boredom after work.

nothing to look forward to when i get home. except for work the next day.

and being indecisive on what i want to get with all my money.

gosh i sound like im complaining. i feel greedy.

i would rather not go fishing though :)

BUT when my brothers come back im sure it'll be all fun shenaniganz once again. to me, after we haven't seen each other in a while, i feel that we have the most fun and laughs. we will literally laugh after we delightedly tell each other about what we've been up to. it can be anything.

someone will cheerfully ask,

"where the heck have you been?"

 and the answer can be so bland and uninteresting.

"home playing peek-a-boo with my wall!"

(all of us)

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHDHGAHHAHA"

okay we don't actually play peek-a-boo with our walls haha :)

i don't at least... o_O

i can't wait till Softo and Morgan come back.

James and Peter?

maybe if they weren't so devoted to texting girls that they barely ever see throughout the year. Peter is the worst at that.

maybe GCI should just like shut itself down for a while. And facebook be more boring (oh wait..)

then they will be peeled from their phones and back to bro'in down with the rest of us.

its all good. but if they MUST text girls they just need to lay off from girls that one of us is interested in.

James made that mistake.

SO in that sense i hope you can see why i miss Morgan and Softo more.

whatevs. a game of Call of Duty: Black Ops drifts us away from everything else.

sometimes even a lit stove... we won't be making egg sandwich's during a game session anymore :D

well, this has been an uplifting post. long story short, i have a great paying job and the people i work with make it easier to get through the day. and i finally bought myself a 7 string guitar.

im pretty sure i have that on my bucket list.

:D

just let that sink in. admire the pic. bow to it. recognize the black border line that traps the beauty of all things and backs it into submission, forcing it to be engulfed and buried into the shiny blue apparatus that is my guitar.

its a keeper.

and if there is a disorder of some sort that involves the person buying something just because it appeals to them and looks cool, i have that. definitely.

till next time, im outtie.

P.S. 

why is it that all my posts get like 4 views when they are released but my Concerts and Rockstars post which was written last year is getting like 20 a week and is still my most popular? i should write about concerts and rockstars more.

Through the Monsoon

Hi.

It's me again.

I can't even remember the last time i posted on here.

but anyways, here's a post to make up for it :)

i went to the dentist the other day. which kinda surprised me because i planned to "accidentally" miss my appointment buuut they stayed an extra two days.

just for me, they said.

this wont hurt, they said.

they are full of LIES.

and what made it really awkward was that they asked how old i was. i said i just turned 18.

they sounded ever so surprised and began telling me the downsides of being an adult. you know, like filling out your OWN applications to jobs instead of just throwing it to mom and saying "i need that turned in by tomorrow." and they told me "people will start depending on you." and my favorite, now you can legally go to rated-r movies! wait.. thats not my favorite. i actually liked the feeling of disobedience. now that i wont get in trouble anymore, whats the point?!

at least i can still say i hate the dentist.

today was ALSO the last day of school. im grateful for that, but now i get to start working literally a day after school ends. whats up with that!? why does life hate me? the bright-side to that is i'll pretty much be rich by the end of the summer. but i wont get to do much since i'm going back to school because i didn't graduate this year.

thats right.

no graduation for me.

i am now a super-senior.

being a super-senior sounds like no fun at all.

well its been a great year in school at least. my teacher Master Plan will not be returning next year...

:(

we had good times with that guy! seriously. he is a funny guy. our time as a class with him has been so real, its unreal.

actually,

its been a lot of things.

im gonna miss him.

and this will conclude my post.

p.s.
i swear im not a pessimist. :)
and the title is one of my favorite songs by Tokio Hotel :)
check it

football

this post isn't about me telling you about how grueling and agonizing football practice was. I don't even play football. actually I can't because my school district only has basketball and volleyball for sports. and track. and wrestling. anyways onto the point...

I love football and everything, but I don't really care enough to watch it. mainly because after every single game that is played, someone on facebook will update about it. never fails. 

heck some will update AS they watch! as well as posting about who they're rooting for, which player did what and such and such.

and other people will even leave a nice comment on the statuses pertaining to similiarities in their opinions or evaluations in the game they're watching. in other words, i think football makes many, many people become one big happy family. which is FREAKIN SWEET! even though its the complete opposite when you're the one actually playing on live television... then everyone turns into the incredible hulk AFTER he finds out someone drank up all the milk leaving none for his bowl of cereal. they be angry at each other. thats what i think anyways.

but yeah. one big family. some people think that its annoying seeing everyone talking about football hour after hour, but i think its nice. its like a positive energy all around. 

E.L.E.!!!!

Everybody Love Everybody

P.S.

So a brunette takes her blonde friend to her first football game. the blonde has never heard of football before and is excited about seeing guys in tights tackling each other. they take their seats and the game begins. the two friends have a wonderful time. after the game the brunette asks her blonde friend "so what did you think?" the blonde says...

"well i like the guys in tights, but i dont get why the whole game is about the quarter that the ref flips at the beginning of the game.."

the brunette says "what?! NO! its about getting touchdowns!!"

"well why is everyone always yelling 'GET THE QUARTERBACK!!!!!!!"

ha. terrible joke. i love blonde jokes. that one is like my favorite dumb one ever.

if i were a rockstar...

This is going to be my favorite post to look at. Ever.

If Josh was a Rockstar.

If Josh was a rockstar, he'd be rich and famous.

If Josh was a rockstar, he'd take his bros across the U.S. going state to state staying in hotels and staying up all night playing xbox. The ULTIMATE vacation.

If Josh was a rockstar, he'd live in a freakin' sweet house located in the (I can't remember where again, but i have a post about it that you can look at:))

If Josh was a rockstar, he'd play guitar and/or drums onstage while touring with his almighty band.

If Josh was a rockstar, he'd crowd surf and stage dive.

If Josh was a rockstar, he'd totally call Justin Bieber to see if he's cool enough to hang out with him and try not to act like an idiot make a call to see if Justin Bieber will collaborate with him.

If Josh was a rockstar, he'd buy his dad a nice, sick-nasty boat to go fishing with over the summer. Josh needs a summer job while he's relaxing and decompressing from the long and glorious tour!! I know theres none of that when I'm fishing but sitll..

If Josh was a rockstar, he'd buy his mom a nice huge house in like California or someplace. JOSH NEEDS A BACK-UP HOME TO STAY AT WHEN HE GETS KICKED OUT OF THE HOTEL FOR DOING SOME CLASSIC JUVENILE BEHAVIOUR WHILE VACATIONING WITH HIS BROS!! DUH!!!

If Josh was a rockstar, he'd fly to London/anywhere out of U.S. and go explore what other countries have to offer.

If Josh was a rockstar, he's have the money to travel to places to visit his friends outside of Alaska.

If Josh was a rockstar, he'd get together with John Travolta and Nicholas Cage and convince them to take John Travolta's private jet to PTH. Josh needs to keep up on some promises...

If Josh was a rockstar, he'd take a surf board with him on the tour bus and have the driver SLAM ON THE BRAKES AS IF HIS LIFE DEPENDED ON IT while Josh was on the surf board at the back of the bus and whoosh..... Josh flies to the front of the bus with a surf board.

Come on, that last one sounds like it would be mega fun and you know it :)

Hopefully I won't fly out of the windshield...

So there it is my friends,

The true destiny of Josh's holy existence.

HA!

I wish.

but never say never :)
