What now?

i realized a long time ago that i really don’t have my own opinions on music. whatever anyone wanted to listen to i usually liked so it was no big deal. or with **** it didn’t matter we’d listen to what he’d like. and sometimes i really started to enjoy the music and sometimes i thought my ears were about it fall off, and whats more is that i wanted them to. so now in my forced independence i have become aware that i need to have my own musical tastes. of course this is not an easy feat for anyone. i mean, i know what i like and what i don’t. but, i mean, their is so much out there! but i’m starting with the old rock. i’ve soaked so much of it up and have slowly fallen in love with it. though sometimes its hard to figure out if i like it for the memories (although at this point their is a whole slew of music that i can’t listen to for the memories) or if its generally the music in and of itself. and then their are so many bands out their that the world labels as “awesome” and everyone knows the titles and you just have to pretend that they are the be-all-end-all though you’ve never listened to them. hence the reason i’m starting with the basics. here are some of my finds:

i love pearl jam

mellow male singers like jack johnson and john legend are the shit

i’m still a huge friggin fan of dave matthews

i’m falling hard for led zeppelin (although, as stated above, i’m not sure if this is memories sake or music sake. i’m giving it my all to listen to the songs that “we” never listened to so that this can just be my thing. i love the immigrant song.)

i don’t get that whole miley cyrus crap.

that one song “i kissed a girl and i liked it” that’s a big hit this summer–it gives me the whillies. Other things that give me the whillies: my friend ***** in anything more of a friend relationship (but thats a long and complicated story) and snakes.

i like old guys like stevie wonder, earth wind and fire, billy joel (but i’ve always loved him), elton john

got some lovin for stevie nicks and fleetwood mac

my next ventures include janis joplin, the doors, and jimi hendrix. Forever 27 Club.

any suggestions?

what do you do when your hero (who just so happens to be the love of your life) is …busy?

so i’ve basically had the week from hell, but shit looks to be looking up, and check this out:

all veins bleed blue

but mine are different

they are intricately connecting webs of fire dispersed throughout my system

their purpose is to burn

everyone knows that the hottest fire billows upwards as blue,

and its true.

i can prove it

my skin oozes heat, pulsing through and through,

pushing upwards,

coursing through,

for you.

my anger is tangible,

if only the doctor could find a needle to draw my liquid fire

out,

but all the needles burn,

melding metal to my mettle

destined to float in my system

until eventually they disintegrate entirely,

the fire having digested the tiny fragments,

having devoured the tiny fragments,

much like my hatred devours you.

lighthouse–use one to find your way home today.

While suturing a cut on the hand of a 75 year old

Texas rancher, whose hand was caught in a gate

while working cattle, the doctor struck up a

conversation with the old man. Eventually the topic

got around to Obama and his bid to be our President.

The old rancher said, “Well, ya know, Obama is a

‘post turtle’.”  Not being familiar with the term, the

doctor asked him what a ‘post turtle’ was.  The old

rancher said, “When you’re driving down a country

road and you come across a fence post with a

turtle balanced on top, that’s a ‘post turtle’.”

The old rancher saw a puzzled look on the doctor’s

face, so he continued to explain. “You know he

didn’t get up there by himself, he doesn’t belong up

there, he doesn’t know what to do while he is up

there, and you just wonder what kind of a dumb ass

put him up there!.”‘

i  always thought this image looked  just like me.  you know everyone online has like a little profile pic– well this one looks just like me.

and what the heck is wrong with my space bar button?
