"I listened to the rap attack and held the radio close"-Mos Def
"I leaned into my little record player on the floor/so this is what the volume knob's for"-The Mountain Goats
Ok, I hate when people post song lyrics in their journals as much as anyone, but what are ya gonna do? Anyway, I just wanted to post these, because I had been thinking not too long ago about how I would probably never again feel as strongly about music as I did when I was a kid, and I was afraid that I had somehow changed and that I would soon be on the road to listening to Kenny G's sweet sweet alto sax whilst driving my volvo to work. Now, however, I don't think it's me that has changed, just my situation. There was a point in my life when music was the only thing that interested me, and my record collection was the closest thing I had to a friend. That's why I don't feel as intensely about it anymore; there just isn't room for it to dominate my life these days. The people I love have filled up that space. I think that's more healthy. Of course, I still love music, but it's never just going to be me and my stereo against the world. And thank god; no one wants to be a teenager forever. Well, maybe Keith Richards wants to, but look at him. Just look at him. That's what happens when you have to get all of your blood replaced in switzerland. (my favorite urban legend ever)
Today we went to norman, and fun was had. Then we came home and heard that the pope died. For some reason it makes me think of the time that the former mayor's son made one of my friends cry in our ap history class by telling her that she was a pagan who worshipped mary. What a prick that guy was. Fuck you, Blair Humphries. Fuck you and your crooked dad too.
