Random Diary Entry's From an Anonymous Journey Fan

[WIX]

summer 1984 - first entry to my Journey diary. I just saw my favorite band journey they were great. tried to pick up on some chics but ended up getting trashed instead. Larry drove me home I was wiped out. I hope to see them again and again and again.

summer 86 - No ROR tours are close to me. Looks like with work I will have to catch the next tour. Got my new Journey License plates. They were $100 a year. But they are my favorite Band. They are like God to me!!! Life is so good, I miss the originals and Randy Jackson looks out of place, but they know what they are doing I am sure. I mean they are professionals right? When I first saw MTV and Girl Can't Help it video. Perry's hair was gosh dang awesome. In fact diary this is the first time ever I have had sexual thoughts for another man. Shhhhh. I try to contain myself when the video comes on so my wife doesn't catch on. I have to put a pillow over my lap.

1988- They put out a greatest hits CD??? This kiss of death, they are done!! I cannot believe it. I would have found a way to go if I knew that. I am totally done with these guys!!

1994 - Found my diary haven't entered crapola for ten years, can't believe I found it! I have Steve Perry FLTOSM Tour Tickets in Utah!! I am pumped. I just have a feeling they will be getting back together!

1994 - went and saw Chris Ledoux and Sawyer Brown at the fair. I'm lost without journey, I need music. I feel like I am cheating on them even mentioning other bands in my Journey only diary.

1995 - Nothing yet, but I keep hearing something is in the works??? I am dying here!!

1996 - Finally they are back together, new CD is great "when you love a woman" is nominated for a grammy. Things are finally back!! Life is good.

Nov 5th 1996 - Just a note, new CD artwork is kinda jacked up but music is good, I will just go with it, after all they are the professionals. I am sure there are hidden messages in the artwork, glad they are back. I will try and decode. I lady with a cats head, a baby on the beach hmmmm?

june 4th 1997 - When the Hell are they gonna tour I have been waiting, what the heck is going on??? They debuted and # 1 and have dropped off the map???!!!

1998 - WTF??? I am being told Perry is out because he hurt himself hiking in Hawaii and they cut him loose??? My god this is such Mullarchy I can't take this. I think I am gonna kill myself??!!!!

1998 - I have been released from the hospital, I got totally wasted and was watching my MTV Journey videos I recorded and lost it. I tried to slit my wrists with a knife. I was using it backwards thank god so I mostly have rubbing sores and minor scars. I passed out and wife found me. She said she was throwing away all the journey crap and was taking me to therapy..... today is a bad day for me. Why couldn't I have just picked a band like the Mormon Tabernacle Choir??!! They are consistent. I am lost....

Last entry, I know Journey is done. I am moving on. I am putting diary in safe deposit box so I can look back one day and see how ridiculous I was to get so caught up in a band.

2001 - Hello my friend. It has been a long time. The world has changed so much. Found a NEW Journey website and have discovered they are touring with a new lead singer that’s name rhymes with Perry’s, has long curly hair an on many songs sounds very close to Perry. I am real tentative but I am told he has been with them since 98, about when I put my diary away. I hope unlocking my diary doesn’t bring back pain in my life. I still miss Perry, he is a god to me. I miss him.

Feb 2001 - Registered on the official Journey website. Lots of freaking weirdo’s on here. They make me feel normal!!!

March - Dec 2001 - Wow, what a year I have decided to condense the past year into a single entry as so much has gone on. I have spent countless hours on the Journey website and bought their new CD. I have spent late nights and weekends chatting on line with people I do not even know. It is so addictive. I have went though 5 jobs and three wives because of my compulsive posting on this site but I just cannot get enough. I haven’t mowed a lawn in a year! This is great!
I finally made a concert and met a lot of the people I have chatted with online. I have to say only 1 person out of the 50 I met were what I had visualized. I spent most of the evening dodging this one guy. He creeped me out. Everywhere I went he was lurking behind. I have no clue what his intentions are but I do not plan on finding out.
My third wife had left me a month ago and I was so looking forward to meeting this girl at the concert. Her name was Honey. She had sent photos and she sounds like a perfect Journey match in Heaven.
My good Lord I cannot even begin to explain THAT people need to be careful on the net. She had sent photos of a co worker and had lied to me. She was nothing like what I was expecting. She had a beer gut and was missing teeth and smoked like a chimney. My little trip was kinda ruined after this shock but the concert was great. Of course after I changed seats as I had bought her a ticket in the front row to be next to me.
Someone knocked on my room at 2 am. It was that creepy guy. I looked through the peep hole and he was holding a six pack of Colt 45 and two cigars and a box of Ribbed ones. I threw up in my mouth and crawled into a corner and cried myself to sleep.
After that concert I stayed off the website for a few weeks. I then jumped back on and hit it hard again. I had just landed a good job and got a raise. After a month I was called in by my boss and he told me people were complaining about me talking about Journey all the time and handing out free CD’S. I WAS TOLD TO LAY OFF. I told my boss to shove it and now once again I am unemployed.
I did save up enough money to hit another concert though. This time I took a wig and a mustache and sun glasses in case those same people showed.
I must say this last concert was decent. I finally got to meet the band, WHAT a great night. They signed my album and shook my hand. I did not get to meet Neal though. He was talking to some girl named Bunny and would not let go of her hand, so I had to walk around. They had a pre party and half of the people seemed decent and actually had jobs and families. In fact it has inspired me to go home and try the same. I mean if they can be a Journey Freak and balance a family and a job, surely I COULD?? RIGHT?
What a strange year it has been. I am still not sure if this is normal or not. I struggle with it and may seek counseling.

2002 - I have still been riding the Journey Train just as much as last year. This year they listened to the Fans and put out Red 13. My only comment is don’t listen to the fans.
Would enter more but I am too busy posting and going to shows. I try to hit all the Las Vegas shows and then I just rent an escort so the creeps leave me alone. It works great. Balancing a job and family was no good. I feel like a ROCK Star. I do feel awful as I have had to turn to a life of crime and deceit to afford these shows. I steal Lawn mowers and part them out on EBAY. But I do not kill or hurt people so I can live with it.

2003 - 2008 - What a Blur, sorry Diary I have neglected you. But the past 5 years have been a blur. There have been online wars with different Journey websites and I have done and said things I am grateful for and regret. I have turned into a raging drunken bum without a job and still have turned to crime to fund my adventures. I was happy at first but this has over took me to NO end. I do not even know myself anymore. People that know me in my hometown avoid me because all I talk about is the new lead singer or who the band member is married to and what they drive and that I sent them all Christmas cards. I even lie that I hang out backstage and they let me watch from behind. I even tell them they let me carry a watermelon to the pre party at walk of fame. Lord I didn’t even go???!!!
I now know why so many Rock Stars die early, I think I have gone crazy and have lost my mind. I post blindly and talk in circles and I quit wearing underwear. I have went to over three hundred Journey Shows and paid for ILAA. Sometimes I don’t even show up and end up passed out in my hotel holding my Steve Perry Pillow I stole from some guy in Vegas a couple years ago. It soothes me.

2006 to 2008 has been violent on the internet. Now they have new music and another singer I am forging onward but still have issues but new guy sounds great though. I got wasted when the new DVD came out and bought all the copies at Walmart and stood on a street corner and gave them away to people wearing an I love Journey T- Shirt on the front and Perry is my Daddy on the back.

I was arrested for public drunkenness and for public indecency for wearing homemade Journey Boxer Briefs and a woman’s Journey Tank top. Hell they were on sale in the Journey store for half off. I bought 30 of them. They said Red 13 and I got a box of free Journey Fans from 2001. Nobody wanted those and it was 90 degree’s before I got arrested.

2008 - my final entry. My folks flew in from Pittsburg and took me to a mental institution. My counselor is making me cut loose from the Journey Train and severing ties. It is hard but I know it may be the only thing to save my life. She is looking over my shoulder as I write this and we will them burn the diary to erase all memories and start a new life. I am on 9 different pills now. I drool and slur but she says it is temporary after I get done with shock treatment. I told her if Perry would have never left me I would have been alright. She says I am sick and need help. He moved on and so should I. Steve, if you are out there, maybe one day the stars will align and we could have lunch or dinner somewhere to put this all behind me. You are the greatest singer of anyone ever and of all time. (counselor slaps me on back of head).
Time to take my pills, my ears are bleeding from the last shock treatment and I pee my pants a lot. But Nurse Betty says those side effects will go away. She say I lived the life of a Rock Star and now I am paying the price. Bless myself and all other Journey fans who are heading for my same ending.
This is my last Journey entry and have plans to become a Nun, please pray for me.
This is the end, my beautiful friend, the end……………………….

Oh! my dear friend, May the Lights shine on you and God bless you to now have a new life anyway you want it. I say with all faith please don't stop believing for I will reach out to you with open arms and whisper into your sweet and simple ears just be good to yourself. Who's crying now? I am for you dear anonymous Journey fan have gone your separate way. I am sending you my love dear friend. PS "can you get me some of those happy pills and a bottle of redwine................ yours truly your diary.PS (Rantings of a mad diary......"I can't believe that SOB just left me here to collect dust After all these years!!!!) Wix I love your stories I laugh until i"m in tears.

[alesson]

there was an article before about a guy who lost it after SP leaves the band and suddenly comes around after hearing that Journey is making a big comeback with a new frontman...kinda weird but can't blame him. There are still a lot of Perry fans out there and can't get over it when SP left, for them there is no one but Perry for Journey.

if he's the same guy...it's good to know that you kinda snap out of that sinkhole and making progress. We are all a fan but first and foremost we have to understand that we are responsible for our self and not our idols, be it Perry, Augerie, Sotto or Arnel.

[Shadowsong]

HOLY SHIT
THAT WAS SOME FUNKY STUFF!!!

I don't think you know WIX.

Never, Never, Never, Never, Never take him seriously. WIX is all FUN. OK Demented Fun, but fun

[Blueskies]

Wix...you shouldn't be reading Deano's diary.

[Don]

Wix...you shouldn't be reading Deano's diary.

If we see “ass clown” in his next installment, he'll be sooo' busted.

[walkslikealady]

Didn't know guys could become nuns.

[etcetera]

Pretty sound logic and fluid humor for someone so mentally diagnosed LOL .

WIX break out of that mental institution NOW! Those places make you nuts.

[Luvsaugeri]

OMG Wix!!! Pure genius!! Some of your best work to date!!!

[bluejeangirl76]

Perry's hair was gosh dang awesome. In fact diary this is the first time ever I have had sexual thoughts for another man. Shhhhh. I try to contain myself when the video comes on so my wife doesn't catch on. I have to put a pillow over my lap.

I wonder how many times that hair inspired young men to come out.
"I can't hide this any longer... that hair is just soooo... sooooo... uhhhnnngg!"

That hair is magic.

[cudaclan]

Nurse Ratched, was way much better than Nurse Betty. She was very helpful with my therapy.

[Shadowsong]

That's one of the funniest things I've read in a long time!

Pure demented genuis at it's finest!

[Saint John]

I haven't laughed that hard in a long time. Good shit, WIX.

[WIX]

sad part is, there is someone out there in worse shape putting on red lip stick looking at their Journey Albums wearing Tux Tails.

They sleep in a bed with home made bedding of the band members faces over the years. They have never passed gas in bed to show respect!

They brag about it, they live it everyday. 1980 was just yesterday in their mind.....

They have 5 computers on at all times to have every Journey site up in a browser available at the drop of a hat.....

part that seals the deal, they have every band members name tatooed on their testacles, it completes them and gives them a closeness that no one can
come close to. No pain, no love. But PAIN, and that means your the #1 Fan.

OK, WIX, you want the truth? Story sounded familiar (think I've read it before) and not that funny to me.

Your humor is not my type of humor.
