Incubus "Make Yourself (album)"

Mar 31, 2009 19:46

The copy monkey continues to work his way through school.

I write a lot more lately about a small group of friends. I don't know what exactly it is all about yet, but it has been a lot of fun writing about them. Quit drinking so hard, not worth the time or the money or the effort to function the next day. No, the energy is better spent getting out of here. It is what I have always wanted, away from the cultural wasteland known as Colorado. Shocked you are required to be if you find a native here, and one who doesn't ski, since that is just insane and calamity! The only thing here are pretty people who don't shut up about their diets, their weight gain, the things they are going to do this summer but won't do them because they spent their money on booze, and students. I'm tired of shit here. Eldon and I are starting a band, a project, something fun to take away from this bullshit that rots through the veins of suburbia and Denver.

I guess overall, no matter how much it changes, I will always feel the same about living in Colorado; disappointed. I don't have the ability to survive in the suburbs. At 23 now Pardon Me seems such a heavier song, much better at explaining frustration than I could ever do myself. I wonder if maybe I have created the characters in the story to ride their cottails out of here. Riding the coattails of fictional characters, just like all good writers. King had Carrie, Hunter had his good Doctor, and I have Frank, Jim, Mike and Alex. They probably won't get me out of here, that I have to do on my own, but they are fun people to write about. So welcome to the Dust Ward my friends, and see the sleeve that this heart rests upon.
