until then I’m only… spinning…
452 words... posted on April 18, 2010 @ 5:44 pmIt’s been a long while, yet again, since I’ve posted. I’m thinking, for a summer project type of thing, I could tweak some stuff here and there, make a new layout, and sha-zam! rebirth of this. Possibly.
Lately, I’ve been loving Jack’s Mannequin more and more… and it’s not because I finally got around to watching Dear Jack (Andrew McMahon’s documentary about his fight against leukemia). There’s a nice simplicity in his music, cryptic lyrics that I, as a listener, know there has to be thought into, and my own interpretations to the lyrics. I haven’t listened to all his songs, but I love a mixture from both albums. I recommend the songs Crashin’, Spinning, Swim, Drop Out — The So Unknown from The Glass Passenger, as well as Bruised, I’m Ready, and MFEO from Everything in Transit. It’s good stuff.
Okay, two more thoughts are circling my head right now, so sorry this is a long post. First – being put somewhat into the drama world (I’m in pit orchestra for The Wiz) is odd. I know very little people outside of the pit, and it makes me realize that there are so many little band-like worlds in our school. Well, maybe. I’m not exactly sure if the druggies of Costa are similar to the band geeks but whatever. This just makes me even more stoked for marching season. Yes, I am such a nerd. But the fun part is bringing new people into this circle. Not only does it sound like I’m in a cult, but meeting new people and becoming close to those are some things I really look forward too. You never know what the world may bring.
Point number two – I really need to look up that Bruce Almighty quote that Morgan Freeman says to Jim Carrey about people not knowing what they want, because it applies to me so much. I’ll want something to happen one day, then on the next day not care at all. I think it’s because I’m an extremely picky person — with foods (if you have ever been out to dinner or something with me you will know), friends (I’m not going to go specifics on this, but I become friends with everyone generally), guys (congratulations! someone’s a lucky person xD), and what I care and don’t care about. I realize this leads me to becoming extremely disappointed in life, and I guess I should work out this flaw. I do know that when I let this go, for around one week, and stopped trying to go after some stuff I was nit-picking, everything fell into place. However, I doubt that will work right now. Sigh.
