"What you think I just got lucky, didn't work for this shit?"

Your new addiction: Hollywood Undead

-hip hop meets hardcore
-they wear masks
-they're from LA and are really into the West Coast thing, so they have lyrics very similar to 2pac.

I know. I didn't think those elements together sounded very good at first either. But it's actually really really good. pick up their debut "Swan Songs," get in the car, and cruise. It's a good CD.

Thanks for reading.

"I Always believed in futures, hoped for better than November..."

I recently have started better organizing/cleaning up my music library. For those who don't know, I've lost considerable amounts of music twice in my life; once by CD theft and again by computer crash. So, my collection, athough still broad and vast, is not near what it could be. I had some jumbled, random mix CDs that people made for me with tracks by blink-182 and Jimmy Eat World on them. These tracks remained unnamed in my library up until this week. I looked up each unnamed song by lyrics, put it on the correct album, in the correct order, and downloaded the songs to complete certain albums. It's really helped me reconnect with both groups. They were very important musical pieces in my childhood and now I can look back with a clearer view of life and a more in depth view of music and its pieces and see why. It's nice. An expereience that I'm sure to cherish for some time. Happy Thursday!

"One night and one more time..."

I'll spare the details, but last night was pretty amazing. I'm sparing details mainly because I'm pretty much rendered speechless...

"I can't can't wait 'till you see see see what death and disgust have done to me..."

I've always believed that everything happens for a reason. There is a way, not necesserily a plan, but a way that things are supposed to go. The Universe knows what it's doing. One of the hardest struggles of being human is the need, the longing to understand. everything. We try to comprehend things that are far beyond our grasp.

So today, when I realized that the reason for something very momentous in my past probably had absolutely nothing to do with me, that I was a not so innocent bystander in the whole situation, it was one of the strangest and most difficult to swallow epiphanies of all time. That was also probably the longest single sentence of all time.


Stay warm! and thanks for reading!

"I fell in to yesterday..."

Sorry I haven't posted in a few days. I haven't had much to say, or rather, I haven't known how to put any of it into words. I still don't really.

Sharing music from your personal collection with someone you care alot about is pretty fun. If you ever get the oppurtunity to make someone a small sample of your musical taste, give it a shot. It's a pretty neat experience.

That's all I've really got today. Thanks for reading anyways!

"Strike us like matches 'cause everyone deserves the flames..."

I just have to get this off my chest:
It wasn't distrust, just misunderstanding.




I'm sorry.

"I will paint you in silver. I will wrap you in cold..."

Two things today.

1st, I complain about Winter and cold and snow and ice, etc. I don't really care for it. I prefer warm weather. Mostly due to driving. Winter tried to kill me. You'd hate it too. With that said; however, the snow is truly beautiful. Especially in a quiet little mountain town like Boone. True beauty; something this world is lacking.

2nd, two albums for you to go check out if you haven't already. 1) the obvious: Fall Out Boy's "Folie a deux." 2) the not-so obvious: Kanye West's "808s and Heartbreak." It's no secret I've been a huge supporter of Fall Out Boy for their entire exsistence as a band. Their newest release fits nicely into their body of work and touches on some topics they have yet to attack. Now, I've never liked Kanye West and have never made any buts about it. "Stronger," the highly popular single from his last release, "Graduation" caught my attention, but I gave all the credit to Daft Punk, who he sampled heavily on the track. I'm sorry Kanye. "808s..." is an incredible pop disc in an era when said incredible pop discs are a rarity. So check both those out and have a wonderful day! Oh, and if anyone is listening to anything that they would like to share with me, please do so!

Thanks for reading.

"Look what I've Built. It shines so beautifully. Now watch as it destroys me..."

So I had a bit of an epiphany today. I've not been myself lately. I've been (albeit unintentional and somewhat subconciously) trying to be someone I'm not. It's strange. This is not a problem I have very often... or ever really. I guess there is a lot of new in my life. New people, new ideas, new feelings. It's just hard to maintain sometimes when so much is changing. I'm vowing from this point on; however, to be myself.

Funny thing. I said the best part of you was that I was comfortable being myself. Which I was at first. I remember it very vividly. I guess why I've been weird the past few days. I haven't been myself. That ends today. No more worries. No more precautions. Worry and precaution breed regret. And regret, my dear friends, is the opposite of me: the anti-Dallas, if you will.

Thanks for reading!

"I Fell Head Over Heels into My Grave..."

The weather in Boone kind of matches my life right now. One minute it can be sunny and warm and pleasant. Then, you turn around and it's freezing cold, windy, and snowing. Every second can change the entire face of exsistence. That's how I've felt lately. I've been dwelling on the little things (more so than usual) and even the meaningless things. It's strange, but I'm sure it will pass.

I have the day off today. I've got a few things to do, but I think I'm going to do alot of relaxing and meditating today. Seems like a good day to do so.

Hope everyone is doing well. Thanks for reading.
