journals are good for your health
I didn't realize it until now, but I think writing in this journal really is what cheers me up. Even when things aren't going well, as soon as a write here my problems grow wings and fly away.
I've been listening to a lot of the newest Barenaked Ladies album, Barenaked Ladies Are Men. I really do enjoy it but when I listen to the songs, they just don't reach me as powerfully as "Everything to Everyone." I've pretty much skipped over the album in between except for the song Sound of Your Voice because it really brings me back to some of their older stuff from Born on A Pirate Ship. Their older stuff was a lot more quirky, then they kind of broke into a new style in Everything to Everyone, but I really dug it and the album felt like it was full off all of the songs they wanted to write but couldn't. I still cry when I listen to the song War On Drugs. All of their albums are great of course, but if I had to pick a favorite it would be a tie between Gordon, Born on A Pirate Ship and Everything to Everyone. Gordon was fun, Born on A Pirate Ship was just freaking crazy and Everything to Everyone was like sitting under a clear night sky in the summer and looking at the stars.
I can't wait for the party at Josh's on the 16th, and then PAX at the end of the summer. These past few months I've been wasting my time chasing a silly dream. I learned the hard way that the only person you can count on is yourself, but still, I tried to believe. I've had to pick myself up and carry on from worse than this so I'll be fine. I can handle anything by myself. What other choice do I have anyway?
I guess I've been a little depressed lately, I've holed myself up in my apartment a bit. That would normally not be so bad since I have a lot of video games I want to get through, but I haven't really found the motivation to do anything. Rawr. I have managed to clean up the apartment a little bit at least. I guess I just don't like feeling detached from the world like this. I can't wait to move out of this place in February, hopefully get a place with Angie, eventually end up in Japan or Florida or California or something...I know I'm young but I'm eager for my life to start.
I want to feel like there's a place I can call home again.
