(no subject)
So i don't really have a whole lot to say (that i know of) but i felt like writing here, so we'll see what happens.
It seems that i have a band again. It took 3 years, but it seems like i have made good on my new year's resolution, and there is still a day left in January. The name... for now.. is Fidelis. At the moment it is Keith playing drums, myself playing bass, Patrick playing guitar and Mollie singing and playing violin and viola (no, not like fucking Yellowcard). We had a rehearsal Sunday, and I was rather anxious because i was not sure what to expect from Patrick's songs, but i was pleasantly surprised that they were solid songs. We went over 3 songs that he wrote, and Keith and i essentially just wrote our parts on the fly, having never heard any of it before. I would really like to be able to play more often than once every other week or so.. i would prefer a few times a week, but we'll see how feasible that is with all of our schedules. It was much easier when we were in school, and didn't have work or anything like that. I have a good feeling about it though.
Tonight I have been listening to Blue October for the first time in quite some time... and not that "Foiled" crap... real Blue October... circa 2003 and earlier. I had forgotten how much of myself is tied up in this music, but its scary. Every note reminds me of a part of my past.. be it a show, or a street i passed while driving, or just an emotion associated with something else going on with this as the soundtrack. I recently found some unreleased stuff of theirs, and it is easily some of my favorite songs ever written.
It seems that for the first time since i could remember, my January was not dark and depressing, which is surprising.
I dunno... nothing much to say
