Again, same cycle. Every morning. Except I was in a better mood today, for once. That was very rare, maybe because I slept early perhaps? Who knows.

I finished my morning routine and got into my car, I was in the mood to go work out, by work out I meant going to the gym and watching people box, I always loved boxing for some reason. And of course hockey.

I made it to the gym, same people, same energy. I greeted a buddy and sat down and watched two guys fight each other. I don't know why this was entertaining to me.

- Time Skip -

I got back into my car and drove home, Serj was coming tomorrow. Does he even remember that he's coming over? His memory isn't as good as it used to be.

I parked in front of my drive way. Nothing better then your own home. I got out and walked inside, same ol' emptyness. I should get a dog or something... buy knowing me, it probably wouldn't last long.

Ha

I looked at my little corner of all my System stuff, all the records we made, vinyls, awards etc. I grabbed a drink and started looking through them again, I decided to play the Toxicity album. I sat there thinking of all the concerts we did, all the fun moments we had as a band, some of the fans we met. The bands we toured with.

Chop suey! Came on eventually, funny story based off this song. The line "Hide the scars to fade away the shake up" is actually something Serj told me.

We were about to perform and Serj told me to hide my scars to avoid drama and any stories that could emerge from it.

The scars came from when someone close to me died (Thats where "Angels deserve to die" comes from) at that point I wanted to die with them. The song was originally going to be called Suicide.

Later on, me being me; I tried drinking my problems away, causing me to be stupid and get into fights with people who had better weapons then me.

My arms were pretty messed up for awhile and I also got cut on my leg. Those bastards really got me, I don't even remember what we fought over. I didn't go to the doctors to get proper medical attention. Causing them so look worse and worse. So I put that whole experience into a song.

I chuckled to myself.

My life was so messed up before, still is.

Shimmy came on, Serj wrote that song. He said this song was for his future child, once he has one. That's why the lyrics go "Don't be late for school again boy/girl" I never really liked that song. That's why we never really performed it.

I got up and made myself some food, the CD still playing. My mom taught me how to cook Armenian dishes when I was little, believe it or not, I used to always love helping my mom cook. It was a nice way of bonding and getting me to stay outta trouble.

I put in another album and began to eat my food. Mezmerize. Soldier side came on, my guitar solo echo'd in my house.

I was so proud of the "twin" albums even though Serj really wanted no part in it... It didn't sound like Toxicity or Steal this album! It was more alternative and calming. A lot of the songs were. I wish we could work on something new, I know we can create something amazing yet again.
