"...if flies were cats you'd be a litter..."
I have nothing intelligent to say, really.
I'm just waiting to be tired. Jeanne's past out on my bed so I can't run up and down the walls in there, so I'm in the living room. Actually, let's be honest, anyone whos knows Jeanne would know that I probably could indeed run up and down those walls and she would be none the wiser.
Anyways.
Music? Well, I am going to see Reggie and the Full Effect this weekend. Then the weekend after Tamsyn informed me of a free ticket she would like to offer for Ani Difranco in RI. I swear, if she's lacking again, I'm cutting the bitch free. Ani that is. I've prob seen her at minimul, 10 times. Really due to my older brother, which is weird. I never even heard of her and he took me to see her when I was like 14, so I went to a bunch of times with him after that. Anyways, I half love half hate Ani Difranco at this point. You know, I don't care how deep you think you are, eventually all the good metaphors are going to be taken up and then you just have to use the bad ones and I feel like she knows that, so she writes slower songs with less words and tries to be more "experimental". There's only so many times you can stetch out "I'm happy" or "I'm sad" which can be communicated in roughly 3 seconds, but then per her style, stretched out to 4 mins and 55 seconds. I'm just not havin it. But I guess that's what musics really is, huh? There used to be a day where I would see her live and be truly moved. Now, I can barely hear her becasue a)she's not singing and b) I can't actually hear her because the thesbians in front of me are too busy kissing and telling each other how much they love,love, LOVE each other to even care to listen (true story). I don't know, maybe I can't really hear her because I'm not truly "listening". And I think really, I just use Ani as a scapegoat for reasons that have nothing to do with her at all. Maybe other people ruined it for me, which is half my fault. I just can't take her slow "deep" shit anymore and that's all she's been doing.
(This is the part where I talk to Ani)
God damn it Ani, I don't want to think that hard to understand. I don't want to have to dig to find your sadness, I got that 5 albums ago. While you're inside you're NY apartment thinking of more beautiful and tragic ways to communicate "This world and great and sad. My life is nothing and everything. I appreciate love and lies. I am strong. I am weak. This is how you stick it to someone. This is how we breathe." during this period you could have been outside living life and enjoying the better things. Just FUCKING SAY IT! I AM STRONG. I AM WEAK. THIS IS HOW YOU STICK IT TO SOMEONE!!! See I did it! I got it out of the fucking way, now I can concentrate on living and living presently without forgetting the way I came.
I think that for just one show, I would love for Ani to just appear on stage, wait till everyone's quiet. Pause, turn to the mic and just say "...fuck it." and leave. And you know what? I think people would get it. I would.
That would be bottomless to me. I'd get it and I'd love it.
Ok, I'm done with that. In reality, I'll more likely than not have a great time seeing her. I'm just an asshole. Plus, I hear she's prego, so who knows when she'll go out on tour again.
I also got Joanna Newsom tickets. Talk about crazy lyrics, but at least this broad was a literature major and thats where the lyrics all stem from. Plus, she plays a mean harp and that's what I'm really psyched about seeing live.
Right now I'm just drawing a blank.(I did take something to make me sleep, but it's just making me loopy so far).
I've got my head in my hand watching the dog dream on the couch. I find that she runs and barks at things quite often. Seeing she's never left our house other than a vet visit, I tell my mom that when she's dreaming of running, she's actually just seeing the same 50 feet of yard over and over again. Like Roadrunner, with a repetitive background.
Thanks probably my que, huh?
I'm going go try to X-mas shop in a haze on ebay and then hit the sack.
And if I'm lucky, hopefully tonight I'll dream of something great with a repetitive background.
