today just sucked.
i mostly try to ignore sucky thoughts, but somehow they happen.
(i am aware that i sound very intelligent).
i work too much.
feelings from the past should just stay in the past. right?
and it'd funny as i'm writing this fantastic entry i stumble upon this interveiw chris cornell.
CHRIS:
I think we all carry a depressive streak in us but most people just hide it. A lot of people think that entertainment has to be something loud, cheerful and happy. I don't buy into it. Depression can be very inspiring. At least for me it can be. The quiet aspects of life are very important, because let's face it, life is pretty difficult.
NYROCK:
You mean depression is the thing everyone has in common?
CHRIS:
I think everybody, no matter how rich or poor, how young or old, has a phase in his life when he's depressive. It's reality. Not a lot of people want to talk about it. Most people rather hide that fact, but it's just one of the facts of life that absolutely fascinates me.
NYROCK:
But to look back at the 20 million albums you have sold must cheer you up....
CHRIS:
I used to work in jobs I hated because I needed the money to buy a guitar. I know what it feels like to be depressed. On the other hand, I also know what it feels like to have money, to be successful, to be independent, but I can tell you that money and success never solve your problems.
NYROCK:
How do you solve your problems?
CHRIS:
I try to solve my problems by writing music and recording albums, but you know what's really funny about that? Once the album becomes a success, it doesn't solve your problems. It just gets harder to write the next album.

this took place right after soundgarden broke up.
you know i use to bash Audioslave... however i believe that i was just bitter that Soundgarden and Rage Against the Machine broke up. to be truthful i dig Audioslave's new stuff.
that's all for now.
