As I sit here at 3am thinking about going to bed I was looking through an article online. It brought a rushing current of old memories. It was brought on by the article and the music I'm listening to. I can't believe it has already been ten years. Where did the time go? It seems such a short time ago. I want to go back. It is very scary. Every year goes by quicker than the one previous. I remember when my little cousins where born, there first Christmas, Halloween's, etc. I remember when my bedtime was when there was still light outside. I remember laying sick on the couch as my little puppy first came into the house. What does this all mean? To me personally, it means like it or not I'm growing up and life is on freeway. Beyond those obvious things, the rest belongs in my head for my own contemplation. I suggest you think all the stuff that has happened in the last ten years.
It's a funny thing, choice.
On a lighter note, I was looking at this website that reviews and categorizes music. I decided to have a little fun and look at the emocore "day" bands. I typed in Thursday, and to my dismay I saw under "Influencers" The Who (along with other real bands). No way. I'm sorry that is just not right. I wanted to see how deep the rabbit hole went. I've read that Weezer had emo in them (I know someone who vehemently disagrees, a slight understatement). More disappointment, this website (which I'm starting to get pissed at) had "emo" as one of their styles of rock (thankfully not the only one). This is not emo bashing(more or less). If you like emo good for you. However, don't confuse emocore with others.
