thinking aloud
i'm sitting here listening to ben folds, getting ready to go to bed. i was just thinking to myself how weird it is that i really hated him when they ("they" as in, ben folds five. my pronouns will be awful because i'm talking about ben himself and sometimes the band as a whole, and i'm too tired to fix my agreement) first became popular. we had this weird music TV station a long long time ago, and i saw the video for "uncle walter" and thought it was hilarious. then later on, "brick" came out and was on the radio all the time, so i asked for the CD for christmas. i listened to it and HATED it. i always give things an entire listen-through, but i just kept skipping all of the songs.
every few months i would try to listen to it, but i could never get into it. then finally, in my freshman year of high school i realized that i was an idiot. the CD had finally grown on me, and i couldn't get enough of it. i bought all of his CDs, then waited anxiously for "the unauthorized biography of reinhold messner," which is still my favorite album ever.
i've now seen ben live several times, and i'm insanely excited for when he goes on tour again, because i will see him then too. he puts on an incredible show, and i always leave feeling like i won a million dollars. it's so weird to me. has this ever happened to anyone else? which band/musician?
sigh. the same as jessica, i'm totally over student teaching. i know now that i do not want to teach in a high school. i am seriously sure of this, so i'm just trying to survive, one day to the next. it will be over soon. don't ask me what i'm going to do. i'm going to sub for a while, then figure it out.
there is a song that jessica and i play when we make it through some really rough shit. i think that we're probably going to end up firing that up along with some seriously stiff cocktails at the end of the month. sigh. how many weeks? 3? 15 days.
