I hung out with my buddy Sam today and while we were out Christmas shopping I used a gift card I got yesterday to buy the remastered Weezer Blue CD that came out this past Summer. I have the album on tape, but not on CD and, since it was kind of free and it has B sides and stuff on it, I bought it.
Listening to it now, it just feels real good. I'm not one of those people who gets super into a band and falls in love with it and can tell you the life story of each band member and has seen a billion shows and etc., etc., etc. But this is the one album that I'll allow myself to really be into in that way. I just really love this album. It might be my favorite album of all time.
I hate not knowing what my future holds. It didn't really matter before whether or not I stayed in CA after the credential program. I had kind of assumed I'd move out of state unless I couldn't find a job and then maybe live in the Bay Area. I was expecting next school year to see me in Chicago or something getting ready to teach High School. But now that I'm starting a relationship with a girl I really like the future seems kind of threatening. I've never been one of those guys who would move somewhere for a girl, but now I'm in a position where I might want to stay somewhere for a girl. And that's kind of the same type of thing.
Listening to Blue, though, an album that sounds as fresh to me as it did ten years ago, I have the feeling that it will all, somehow, work out to the good. And if it doesn't, well, then I guess I'll come to that when I get there.
