Wow, I have 15 minutes left for my lunch break. My my, where does all the time go? (takes a sip of a Coke). Seriously, I'd like to know.
Time has been flying. Really fast, like, Concord fast. 4 months ago felt like last week. It's insane. And time isn't slowing down, nor does it plan on slowing down...and that's scary. Shit, I'm 23 now and next month, I'm going to be 24. And pretty soon after that, I'm going to be 30. Then, 40, and then, I'm lucky to live that long, 50, and so on and so forth. It'll all come faster than I can expect it.
But, yeah, on to something...I want to say "happier", but, instead, I'm going to say "better." I finally finished reading the final installment of the Harry Potter series. All I'm going to say is that, yes, it's a good read. I don't want to say much about the ending, or who dies, or whatever, because, personally, I hate spoilers. To death. Shit, when I was going out with Pennie, who introduced me to the books by lending them all to me, spoiled this one event that unfolded in the 6th book, which pissed me off, because, knowing something of the magentude that this event had, it really took away from the whole thing (she never understood that). But, yeah, on the subject of spoiling, I tried really hard to not try and spoil any of the manga stories that I got her into, although it was really fun teasing her by saying things like "Hao (from Shaman King) is..." only to have her make her angry pouty face at me. Ha.
What else? Oooh, I've been getting into this band, The Birthday Massacre. They have a new record out. It's called Walking With Strangers. It's very good. Sarah Zombie had linked me to their myspace when she was talking about how they were one of her favorite bands and what not. I clicked the link and was almost immediately hooked, which kinda surprised me, because I sort of consider them a "Goth" band, and let it be known, I don't like "Goth" music. Lots of it comes off as really immature, generic and just plain corny, like, let's see...who's a good example? Oh! Voltaire. Yeah, him. Ugh. I checked him out because one of my friends like him (I'm guessing; she subscribes to his blog on myspace), and I really wasn't impressed with what I heard. It was just lame sounding, I'm sorry. But, yeah, back to The Birthday Massacre. They're very good. The instrumentation, the lyrics, the vocals. Everything. Every song just has this really amazing atmosphere. It's usually beautiful and haunting, which I love.
Hopefully, I'll be able to hang out with some friends and/or just chill out tonight.
Wow, I could really go for a Kirin Ichiban right about now.
I've been working Overtime most of this week, so, it's safe to say that I'm feeling a tad bit on the tired side. Egh. Hopefully, the money would have made it seem worth the trouble (it almost never is).
The weather is really nice outside, so, hopefully, that'll cheer me up, because, yeah, I've been feeling like shit for the last week, or two, or four.
Last night, I learned how to play Discordance Axis' Killing Yield on guitar. It's not really all that hard of a song, and I tried playing Tokyo, my absolute favourite song by them, on guitar to the Cide Projekt (it's like, fucking Casio keyboards and a drum machine; they've covered a few DxAx songs, they sound sick) cover off of Our Last Day. I just need to work on it. I've got to learn a handful of songs by them, seeing as how they're like, my main influence for my musical endevour, The Red Spectra. Among the songs that I'd love to learn by them is Flow My Tears, The Policeman Said, Macro, Ulterior, The Inalienable Dreamless, The Necropolitan, Alzhiemer...and soooo many more. I know that the Pikadorei DVD (it's a DVD which contains one of their final shows as Discordance Axis; it was shot in Japan) has fucking guitar tabs (YES) in it, but, it's a pain to sit there with a pen and paper writing them out.
I also came up with something for one of my other random music projects. It sounds New Wavy. Ha.
I keep meeting really awesome people (Read: women) though how or whatever on the Internet, and yeah, it's like, I've come to the conclusion that I'd be a stud or whatever if I lived anywhere else in the country. Seriously. Thanks LOL Gods. Thanks.
Eventhough I've washed my hands twice since lunch, they still smell like BBQ sauce. Well, slightly.
Oh yeah, I'm at work, in case you were wondering. I probably should have mentioned that earlier. I've got to learn how to properly construct these. I just randomly go on and on and on and on. I'm writing from the heart, man. Fuck yeah.
I was reading At The Mountains Of Madness by H.P. Lovecraft, but, abandoned it. Not a bad read, but, I've just been yearning for some more Haruki Murakami. I ended up putting At The Mountains Of Madness on hold right now to focus on After The Quake, a series of Murakami's short stories based on the 1995 Kobe earthquake. Underground maybe my next purchase. Or Kafka On The Shore. Or, maybe, just maybe, the last fucking Harry Potter book. Yes. I'm like, what?, the last human being on the planet who hasn't read it. Pennie (my ex; we're still on good terms) gave me the third degree about that, jokingly, of course, but, yeah, I've told her and anyone who asked or has yet to ask me about it that I am patiently waiting for the book to be published on paperback. I'm waiting. Patiently. Supposedly, it comes out on 08/20/07. JEAH.
Speaking of Pennie, earlier this month (the 6th) was officially a year since our break-up. Shit. That was a rough time for me. I mean, we still spoke a fair amount, but, there was all of this anxiety. It was killing me. We also had a temporary falling out when she confessed that she had met someone else. She had felt the need to address this the night before my 23rd birthday, which already was just not the time or place to drop a bomb like that on me (they weren't going to give my birthday off, and I was working OT that night; really frustrating). What made it hurt was that, obviously, I still loved her, and with what she was telling me, for months, we were to reunite. (insert dramatic ciggarette puff here) I kinda flipped out on her and almost totally ended our post-relationship friendship. Well, actually, I technically did end it, but, a few hours later I asked if she still really wanted to be friends. She had repeated what she had said during the arguement ("I'm sorry for doing this to you/ you mean a lot to me/ I still want to be friends with you") and I told her that I just need some time to relax and get my head straightened out.
I probably didn't talk to her for about 3, 4 months, but, it was needed. Ugh, I hate talking about this. No more.
Anyways, I've got another hour and half here. Hopefully, it'll go by fast. I want to enjoy some of that nice weather were having.
[DONE]
