long live rock and roll

For those that don't know me, music is pretty much my life. It has completely made me who I am today. Playing it, listening to it, talking about it. I love music. Now, even though I can and frequently do listen to pretty much everything that is real (this excludes pop and most hip-hop). However, I wouldn't be the same if I didn't have rock and roll. No nonsense, no frills, just hard driving heavy hitting rock and roll. I love the noise, I love the force, I love the life.



Rock and roll is unlike any other genre because it's so incredibly diverse with an infinite number of sub catergories that go on forever (hence the infinite). And the evolution of rock is just amazing. It started off amazing and has only gotten better. From the Beatles to the Stones to Floyd and the Who, to the 70's metal movement, 80's punk, 90's grunge and todays hardcore.

So the whole point to this was that I made an awesome Pandora station today that's nothing but no non-sense rock and roll. It made my day sort of.

I got this totally awesome poster of Dave Grohl and Liz got a totally awesome Almost Famous movie poster. She can look at Dave Grohl, I'll look at Kate Hudson in her underwear.

wisdom in slipknot

It's been what, 14 months? You'd think that it'd be water under the bridge by now. But the bridge doubles as a damn and even though most got through, there's still a pretty big pond behind it. It's hard to explain as it changes day to day, mood to mood. I can't say 100% that I'm over and done with it. But I can say 99% I don't want to go back there. That 1% though...it's a big 1%. And I don't know if it's because of her or just that I miss being in a relationship. I miss our relationship. I miss what we had. I've been missing it a lot lately. I don't know it is. Must be the season. It's just hard, after 3 years it's hard to imagine myself in the same situations with someone else. All that history, all the trust, all those memories. I just don't feel like I have the energy to do that again. Start from the beginning...I just don't know. A palm reader told her a few years ago that she was going to marry me. I never believed those things...but it stuck in my head.

Ugh. I don't know. I don't give myself enough credit.

I got my ears pierced and stretched. (apparently gauged isn't a real word). It hurt, they're a size 4. But totally worth it. Plus, I got to have an awesome south street adventure with Liz. Mad good times.

It's 10:18pm. I've been sitting in the CAB office since 8:30 waiting to here who got elected CAB president. I think I'm just going to go home and wait for the phone call.

Ugh.

Currently listening to the magic of Pandora lifting my mood with music.
