On Music, Life and All Other Foolishness

So yeah, here's another blog post. Fuck me I keep forgetting about this place, but then again I've been kinda busy with life and all that jazz so sorry person who reads this.

So yeah...you should totally start listening to stuff from Plan-It-X Records, because it's so beautiful that it makes me tear up, smile from ear to ear, get angry, and all that jazz. Oh yeah by the way I've gotten into folk punk really heavy. I want to actually make the music, go on tours, and hopefully get signed on Plan It X someday. I mean, because they're such an amazing label with a great business ethic.

For legit, check out some of their music:

So yeah, this stuff has been pretty much my life for a while. You should totally listen to this stuff, because I think this music and action can help change the world, if not that then the neighborhood you live in.

The Night and the Soul

Why is that the night makes us different creatures? I mean, I've had more deep conversations with people at night than in the day. At night we seem to loosen our collars as a soceity. Think about it, how would anything we did in the night fly at day. What about the night turns us into more primal creatures? I don't know why, but I like people at night better than during the day.

I mean...being with friends at night seems more real than hanging with friends durring the day. You get to bond more, you say stuff you wouldn't normally say. Even if you don't drink, you still seem more primal and raw and real at night. Is it the moon? Is it the air?

I honestly don't know, do you?

Night Thougts

It's kinda funny...I always was able to find Orion in the night sky. Hell, it was the most constant and beautiful thing in my life at the time. Now Scorpio is easy to find, perhaps because it has just taken up Orion's vacated place in their eternal struggle. Or maybe it's something to do with me and how my outlook on life has changed that I can now locate Scorpio easier. Most normal people probably don't think the way I do, most people see the stars as stars and leave it be there. But I think it must hold some personal meaning.

I've been sitting on my balcony thinking about the interconnectedness of all things too, and sometimes it's kinda mind-blowing. I mean, I am connected to the trees, the car two spaces away, the refugee in a war torn area of the world, the rich business man, the horrible tyrant, all of it. I am connected to it all and it is all connected to me. Sometimes that fucking blows my mind, sometimes I get depressed, and most of the time it's what gets me to sleep at night. Is that strange? That I can only sleep when I contemplate the meaning of things which intrinsically have no meaning? Fuck I don't know.

It's amazing the things we do to find meaning in a world that has none. I've poured my own personal meaning out there, and things start to look like I might be headed down that path. I might just yet make music and write for a living. That'd be fucking awesome, and maybe the one person reading this will say "Shit I knew him when he was just an angsty little snot-nosed twenty-something". I'll never forget you reader(s). Hell, I've seen people comment on my blog, awesome people. I just wanna thank those people now, so that I don't forget this feeling of gratitude. Thank you. Thank you more than you'll ever know.
