I haven't updated in a long time. Not that my updates are actual "updates", they're just random thoughts and scrambled, general sentiments.
What is there to say? I've experienced some sad, crazy events so far this year. For better or for worse, they have allowed me to grow as a person and think differently about a lot of things.
The joy of summer was not with me this year. It's not a special time anymore because I don't have to go to school. Summer was lame (with a few exceptions), but I am really looking forward to experiencing my first Fall in 13 years where I'm not circumscribed by the cuffs of the education system.
I have discovered the ethereal, surreal, and inspirational music that can be found in the collective works of The Mars Volta. (Collective works being only two albums.) But man....I love this band. Didn't think much of them at first until I saw them live. Then I immediately sally-forthed my way into Best Buy to negotiate the vending of the specified, compact, digital music.
Speaking of music, you will all see me in a band before too long. On display will be my ever-improving drumming skills. When I can pick up the sticks and play along with anything and make it sound rehearsed and freakishly perfect, I know I'm pretty close to being there.
I bought the Stanley Kubrick Collection DVDs. Stanley Kubrick is the greatest director to have been bestowed upon Hollywood. 2001, The Shining, A Clockwork Orange, Full Metal Jacket, etc. Brilliant masterpieces of great cinematic importance are now at my TV's disposal, in all their psychotic, psychedelic, sociological glory.
I'm sorry about the strange diction I have used during this entry, but I'm eccentric, and I don't like to write unless I sound smart...which can also mean using a needlessly excessive amount of words.
Peace, love, unity, respect.
