I do not edit these at all. I just type out what I wrote down, which also wasnt edited. This blog is not me showing you (who are you, anyway?) stuff I consider perfectly formed or whatever, its just raw material. I tend to use these later on to make more fully formed things (songs, for example), but this is me sharing my first impression, sketches, and feelings with anyone and everyone.

I have a few songs I love. Love love love to the point that I cant do much else than enjoy them when they are playing. I was scared I wouldnt have this feeling forever, so I stopped listening to them for a couple of months. Im listening to them again now. DOES absense make the heart grow fonder? I dunno. I do feel really good right now, though.

GAS STATION NOTE #2
(these are notes I wrote on little pieces of paper when I was bored at work. I worked graveyards, so I was bored a lot. Lots of time to think.)
Roll, Roll, Roll.
I gotta keep Rolling
If, one day, things get better, Ill keep those promises.
Roll, Roll, Roll,
Rolling away
If I could summarize
all of it
Theres soo fucking much
Itch, always hinting
hinting at something
Itch, you make me Roll.
Rolling cause its not enough
Rolling as if I had a destination
DESTINY, what can it be
Destined to itch for my
Destination, which doesnt exist.

Its like im at that part of the movie where the hero realizes what he needs to do to fix everything, and theres dramatic music playing, maybe a montage of some kind. I feel like that.

Keyboard tells me what I can and cant say. I cant scream into a keyboard and get the same effect on the screen. I cant! Arrgh. words are only part of what I think, feel and say. Im fucking pissed off
Leaving for nine months... january 9th. Arrgh! I cant wait, but im scared. Im only working for spending money right now, rent for DEC is paid up. I keep thinking of song ideas. Saw Magical Mystery Tour last night, its TRIPPY!
anyway, see you, foxy lady.

Fun fact:
I get overstimulated REALLY easily.
Just saw a movie.
Dan in Real Life
Its really good. It made me want to scream. when I get overstimulated, I want to like flail around and scream and freak out. its totally wierd. Ill get in these moods that are totally out of place and wierd. In my head it makes sense; like I realize something awesome that I didnt know, some sort of self-actualizating thoughts, and I grin as hard as I can, and I stifle a scream. it sounds like "eeeee!" when I stifle a sceam, by the way. God, it happens soo much, its like just below the surface I want to explode! some day I will write a song designed to release this energy. Woe to the listeners.

I keep thinking blog-worthy thoughts at work only to find they are gone when I get home. Its like different places "store" my thoughts. I guess thats what a memory is though. Wierd... I could have sworn I read an article about this at work the other night...
:P

you know how sometimes a person gets a song stuck in their head all day?
well I had the theme from Full House in mine.
ARRGH!
It got me thinking though.
What sort of things can happen/a person can do in life that would be really really akward or wierd if the theme from Full House was playing?
haha. so yeah. Sort of wierd.
cant think of anything else to talk about that doesnt fit into these categories:
1) Really mundane and boring
2) Exciting for me but mundane and boring to most people
3) Overly Whiny, emotional, or love related.
Soo, Gnight.
OOh! ooh!
I learned a new song!
"Save Yourself"
By Tarkio.

I just dont fit in with these stylish indie kids.
There are people who dont get it, and wish they did.
There are people who dont get it, and dont know.
There are people who dont get it, and dont care.
There are people who get it.
Worst of all...
There are people who get it, and are elitists.
FUCK THE ELITISTS

Hey, tonight I am going to talk about the saddest thing in the whole world.
Just kidding! I have no idea how to fairly judge what is more sad and what is less sad. I haven't had a "good" (read: long) post for a while, so here goes.
umm
umm
umm
Memory.. is
arrgggh
ARRRGH!
Music ! ARRRGH!
blah!
ok, ill explain this. When I find a song I love it triggers my memories. Broken Social scene, for example, seeps me in memories of past love, one sided love, and wistfulness in general. I keep getting flashbacks to girls who at one point knew me, and we cared about each other. Then, cause the internet is good for creepy people like me, I get to randomly see these people's lives on Facebook, etc.
I just stare at the screen and I cant stop thinking about the past. I bet you could have guessed this, but I don't really function like a regular person when it comes to relationships. I never really "get over" someone I care about. Its always there, one way or another. I can still have new relationships, and they are just as awesome. But as time goes on, I get overwhelmed with all of them, all at once. Fucking memories! I am incapable of forgetting each and every time I made her care. Each and every time she told me I mattered. FUUUCK!
SHE can forget, and move on.
Why cant I?
I cant stop loving people? this is weird...
