New schooling for old school....

I've been feeling a bit 'old school'. Can this be considered 'old school'?? Owell.

You Know That I Know; Ain't Nothing Like You

Gloria Gaynor said it best...

That's right, life, keep throwing lemons. I LOVE lemonade!!

I have hope. And and the ability to find, if not happiness, then contentment.

So, in the end, I will survive...

For now...

 I smell the rain,
and with it,
pain.
And it's headed my way.

Insanity

Driving home from work I danced and sang this song very enthusiastically, earning my self a few looks from other drivers who probably thought I was insane.

Fell In Love With.... (A Girl)

I don't normally get googly (o_0?) about musicians because I'm usually like "whatever. just make music."

However... I think I may be in love with Jack White. Or it might possibly be girly crushhh... But I'm pretty sure its looovvee.

damn.

I haven't felt the need to listen to my depression music in awhile. I think I'm going to have to dust some of that shit off.

LOV 4 U 'n Me

Ne Me Quitte Pas

Stone Temple Pilots...

is my angsty music.

Four Times Fourty

One of the most epic albums of all time turned forty today. November 8, 1971 Led Zeppelin  released their fourth untitled (IV, Fourth, ZoSo) studio record.

I've listened to the album in its entirety twice today driving to and from work because the radio stations are legally bound to play it every hour on the hour. (Not really, but it does kinda seem that way)

The first time I can remember hearing this album was when I was about four years old, and listening to it as an adult always give me a sense of nostalgia that I don't get listeing to any other album simply because it is the first music I can ever remember hearing. That is a powerful memory.

Listening to Rock and Roll or Black Dog makes me feel four years old again and, I can remember back to a time when I still had my innocence. It wasn't necessarilly the best time in my life, but things were much simpler. Even if my whole world was going to shit, I could still go outside and play in the sandbox or swing on the swingset in my backyard and every bad thing would go away. Even if just for a little while.

Sixteen (nearly seventeen, whoo!) years later and I find myself longing for such simplicity. The ablity to forget about all of my problems and just enjoy life in the moment, long forgotten. When I hear Battle of Evermore I can remember how it felt and it gives me hope that one day I'll get that feeling back.

To this day, my favourite song in the world:

"There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold; and she's buying a stairway to heaven."
.....

     "And as we wind on down the road; our shadows taller than our soul."
.....

     "Standing on a hill in my mountain of dreams, telling myself its not as hard, hard, hard as it seems."

Sleeping Sickness; I can feel it coming....

I've become,

A simple souvenir of someones kill.

Like the sea,

I'm constantly changing from calm to ill.

Madness fills my heart and soul,

As if the great divide would swallow me whole.

Oh, how I'm breaking down.

I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die; happiness is a warm gun.
