I don't want to turn 18.
Ihhh... well now I know why I don't spend all my time listening to classic rock. I mean, sometimes it's interesting but I'm also noticing how a lot of these older albums are kind of hit-or-miss. Like I feel like I should respect these bands right? since they influenced a bunch of good bands or something. But then again they influenced a lot of sucky bands too. I want the Indestructible Object EP for my birthday, dammit. And Good News for People Who Love Bad News. I'm dying of impatience. Only 6 days left!!!
Today I had... "Cornbread Red" by Ween and "Dear God" by XTC as a couple of the tracks on the soundtrack to my day. Anyone else here get that? Where a song comes up in your mind because the situation you are in at the moment reminds you of the lyrics to the song or someone says something that's the lyrics to the song or something and then you get the song stuck in your head for the next few minutes? And then it pops up later on in the day possibly? Well I have a continuous stream of these songs that impose themselves upon me throughout the day. It's kind of cool actually. I just remember those two songs for today, but I'm sure there were more.
I don't think I'll be able to afford Evergreen. It's fucking $25,000 a year. What do I do? I don't really want to go to UConn. And I kind of wish I could stay here another year, take the year off or something, to continue things with the band, I mean it seems like we're getting somewhere... but at the same time I really don't want to live with my dad another year. I mean, in general, I would just feel like such a failure if I got stuck in this place for longer than I have to be stuck here. Do you think doing a concert tour this summer would really work out? I mean, I did read Our Band Could Be Your Life so I know a thing or two about "jamming econo" and how to at least break even on a tour and how to not make the shitty mistakes people have made in the past. But I'm just not sure how I'd finance starting a tour in the first place.
I need a job. But I hate jobs. I mean I'd like to find a job that actually takes some skill so that I could get decent wages and not die of boredom from whatever it is I'm doing. But how many of those jobs are going to take 18-year olds fresh out of, or just about to finish, high school? Who am I asking these questions to? Who *isn't* thinking the exact same thing I am? MONEY IS FUCKING STUPID AND HARD TO GET WITHOUT SUBMITTING YOURSELF TO SOME STUPID LOWLIFE BOSS AND CALLING THE BORING-ASS SHIT YOU DO A "CAREER".
Fuck... I went off on a really long rant. I wish I remembered how to do that thing where you put a link to your post on your lj so that people don't have to go through an extremely lengthy post that they're not even going to read.
So. Happy Easter, everyone. You guys do know that this Christian 'day of christ's ressurection' was born out of an old pagan holiday, right? www.residents.com - read the newest post
