Welcome to the Fold...
As you can all tell, i've put a new userpic up, just to note the changes that i've made at least physically. I'm also sporting a fedora as well as my Wii jacket, to embrace my inner Geekiness lol.
Well what have i been up to since the last time i posted...
1. Relocated back to Bristol, Tennessee.
2. Still playing bass, although haven't found a group of people to jam with (except of course going to a smokey blues bar to jam at open mike nights, which is quite interesting actually).
3. Single, although i am coping with it, i find myself actually cool with the idea considering that i don't have to answer to anyone but myself, which i like :-P
4. I've found myself writing a lot more than usual, i actually developed a style similar to Henry Rollins, which is one of my Idols.
5. Looking into School, and what i want to do for a career (which unfortunately is still up in the air).
I'm actually looking to come up and visit RI around July 4th, so people need to watch out for my happy ass, unless of course people forgot about me, although i am a hard person to forget lol.
One thing i keep thinking about lately is how much i miss the open road, and the lessons and truths it has to offer. To quote Henry Rollins, "The road keeps me alive. If it weren't for the constant motion and work, I would have blown out years ago... I want to grow old on the road, disappear without a trace. Take years to learn and unlearn, to learn to forget..."
For some reason, i feel more closeness to asphalt and yellow and white lines than i do with people, at least the road is honest with you. It is lonesome and harsh and cold but it is alive and seemingly endless. It is a sure thing, like clockwork. You can always depend on it being there, unchanging, emotionless.
I have to make a note about this; Considering the fact that i have a hard time staying in one place for an extended period of time, very few people understand what it's like to be nomadic in thought and movement. I consider myself nomadic in thought, emotion, and experience. I think over the years i find myself distant and harboring a void that is vast and hard to fill, and i think that is why i have a difficult time settling down with anything. I've become antsy, anticipating the next big move for myself. Maybe i've become Nihilistic just a tad, but ultimately i'll be the first to tell you that although i've done a lot more than some people, there's still so much to do, and i'm not exactly getting any younger.
Ultimately, the only sure thing in my life right now is dependency on myself and the fact that i'm hearing the lonesome song of the road calling me back again...
The only thing i can do is obey...
