(no subject)
Waiting for my phone to charge so I can listen to some music as I walk.
Speaking of music, I discovered a new hip-hop song (and artist) yesterday. This is Atmosphere, a duo from Minneapolis. That doesn't seem like a very hip-hop kind of place to me, but that doesn't mean much.
No overtime pay, no holiday; months behind on everything but the lottery
Went around the corner guaranteeing that my car dies, wifey having trouble trying to juggle both the part-times
My cup ain't close to filled up, we trying to build up so we can have enough
And when I finally get the color, won't be nothing left to paint on
A friend of mine tried to kill himself to the same song
This is an amazing song, smooth and flowing and so well-worded. I have friends who think hip-hop is all about bitches and popping caps in arses, and they are so, so wrong. This is a song about urban life, an expression of a dirty, poor fucking struggle, and then at the end this: The only guarantee in life is a life worth dying for.
When I was younger The Notorious B.I.G. and Eminem did it for me. I still love that hip-hop, but quiet lyrical stuff like this is another side of the coin. Brilliant. Listen!
Man, I felt so fucking awful yesterday. I couldn't sleep the night before last, and I ended up staying up until eight in the morning yesterday, reading, looking at fic, and not writing. I was just so tired and frustrated at the end of the night, I wanted to go for a walk or something but I was so. damn. tired. that I just went back to bed instead.
At one point I got up to watch the sun rise, but went back inside because I got bitten by all these mozzies. Fail.
I ended up staying in bed most of the day, thinking "oh yeah, I'll get up and do something soon", but then realising I didn't really have the energy or the desire.
I took a hippy herbal sleep tablet last night before I went to bed, and I woke up this morning feeling much more human.
It's a shame though, that yesterday should have been so wasted. It's not the first time that's happened this week, that I haven't been able to fall asleep until the day is properly under way, and the next day I always feel so wretched and discouraged and whingy.
