THIS IS A TEST

2011-04-17T22:24:00.000-07:00

I guess if I had to just type some text I could use a random text generator. Perhaps stream of consciousness. I probably could even write out things I see near me. For example:

EVERYONE ELSE IS WAITING FOR THE COMMUTE TO END

Or I could tell you about the album I am listening to. Snow Patrol's Eyes Open.

I just need to type a few more sentences. First I need to turn of the italics. It's just the right thing to do.

I checked out QONQR.com today. Interesting game idea. I'm pretty sure I discussed an idea like this with a friend maybe a month ago.

Alas.

Also, I'm an alcoholic

The best response to a police officer who’s just asked the question “Have you been drinking tonight?”

“That’s a great question, and I totally understand why you’re asking it. I can see where you’re coming from, sir. I realize my behavior seems a little erratic. I smell vaguely of alcohol, I’m in a motor vehicle, and it’s three o’clock in the morning. It’s a unique circumstance. But I’m not intoxicated. I’m distraught. I’m a hyper-emotional person who can’t accept the inherent unfairness of the universe. Have you ever read Arthur Schopenhauer? You know, that dead German pessimist? He once said that the vanity of existence is revealed in the form that existence assumes: in the infiniteness of time and space contrasted with the finiteness of the individual in both; in the fleeting present as the sole form in which actuality exists; in the contingency and relativity of all things; in continual becoming without being; in continual desire without satisfaction; in the continual frustration of striving of which life consists. Crazy, right? I don’t really get what he’s saying. But I do know this, officer: That’s how I feel all the time. And to make matters worse, I’m an insomniac. I haven’t slept more than two hours in any given night since I was sixteen. That’s why I’m awake right now, wandering the roadways of quasi-reality, living my wretched, vampiric existence. I suppose you could say I was suicidal, but too depressed to kill myself. And then, when I saw the rolling blue lights of your squad car in my rearview mirror, I realized that nothing I could say or do would reflect positively on my condition. The game was over. I’ve lost. Why fight it? I pulled over to the side of the road, depressed the parking brake, turned off my vehicle, and imbibed one full shot of Bombay gin, which I happen to keep in the glove box of my car, precisely for this type of situation. That is the alcohol you smell. In fact, it’s still coating the inside of my mouth. Which also means that if you give me a Breathalyzer right now, the remnants of the alcohol will still be there, so I’ll fail the test, even though I’m not intoxicated. So—to answer your original question—yes. I have been drinking. I’ve had exactly one drink tonight, thirty seconds ago, in response to the hopelessness of existence. Do I still need a lawyer?”

I'm pretty sure she is shitting on me personally for that whole interview

*I found Natalia Yanchak's Blog while researching this post and came across an interview that she really wants to share to open dialogue on. In her words she says "It is an eye-opening take on the modern-day music industry, “indie” culture and other forms of depravity." I'm not sure it's really eye-opening. What it is, is really hard to get through. The interviewer's inability to reign in the direction of the discussion makes it so hard to listen to. Or it's just that Natasha really has a hard time dialing in a point for most of the conversation. It's probably more that she says "yeah-yeah" so often that I want to rip my headphones out along with my ear drums. Really what I got out of it that was she feels that comparisons to TV on the Radio are akin to a form of racism. I had made that association to TV on the Radio before listening to this interview. When Natalia makes the statement in the interview, I really had to have an internal conversation with myself that I really didn't make the association JUST because both bands have black lead singers. I never thought to compare them to Bloc Party, who also has a black lead singer. I didn't because I don't think they really sound anything at all like Bloc Party. Am I being to insensitive thinking that Natalia is being OVERLY sensitive about these kinds of comparisons?

2010-10-10T22:30:00.001-07:00

They took the best of us and sent it on
No we search to fill that void
The world around was dark I saw the light appear just as I turned my head

The waves
The waves
Can you stand the waves
Cause you know I'll be gone so long
I've been living with your devil too long and I've been living with these eyes closed

The world around was dark I saw
I was floating in the salt and sun for a year
Starting to fade I felt you pull me aboard
I opened my eyes to see the world I'd left behind
And it became so clear

Girl #1: Oh my god! At work today, the kids had to write stories and they are the worst writers ever! One kid had an entire paragraph with no periods, and a bunch of them were capitalizing days of the week and stuff. It was awful.
Girl #2: You're supposed to capitalize days of the week.
Girl #1, in embarrassed awe: No! You're kidding, right? I told them they weren't supposed to...

you promised me
