...
listening to the flow of the guy who pees next to you in the bathroom, wondering if it has anything to do with the characteristics of his penis...

an excersize
when it comes to songs, and bands. i think there is general "good time" songs and "good" songs. we all know the songs that we love to sing and we can almost predict the chord structure and the word that is going to rhyme next. the beats are all the same because they are catchy and any guitarist knowing basic chords can write the rhythm. and writing a catchy song in it self is an art and is not easy. and then there is songs that don't follow the pattern, that make you anticipate something and then lead you a completely different way. songs that you don't understand but somehow you find they apply to you in some obscure way. and these are appreciated in different ways. i only wish more people appreciated when they felt uncomfortable, and when they were surprised, or when they hear something that is different than the songs they are used to hearing. becuase what is the excitement in a show full of good bands that all sound the same? it's a hard balance, becuase even i know when i'm driving in the supra with a bunch of guys, we are always going to be singing the cranberries at the top of our lungs, but when i'm in my room listening to my records i want to hear the droning pulsing beats of lightningbolt or the odd arrangements of man man. it all has it's place.

eat dick
we are all hipsters in our own right, i think. because the proclamation of not being a hipster will soon be hip. which is a funny cycle. think about it. who cares anyways?
(in)sanity
i learned
that all you learned in school
is all you know
and that you're better for it
because when i go to sleep
i don't seep at all
my brain won't shut off
it just keeps seeing the way you don't
i wasn't born that way
i just escaped
that all you learned in school
is all you know
and that you're better for it
because when i go to sleep
i don't seep at all
my brain won't shut off
it just keeps seeing the way you don't
i wasn't born that way
i just escaped

Satisfaction
We are always working towards something, (hopefully) usually a feeling of satisfaction or accomplishment. These moments truly only last for, well, a moment. Is there satisfaction in the process of achieving the goal or does it only exist as we accomplish it? Or does it even exist? I think the process is a huge part of actually achieving, and once it is over, something is gone. Like trying to land a trick down a set, once you land it, there is an immense feeling of awesomeness, and then it's like shit, what can i do now? Or sex, it's awesome and then it's over. Or like playing a show, or eating something, or making a painting ... the list goes on. the anticipation seems to be better then the feeling of accomplishment. we are stuck chasing forever but we need to keep doing it and not just sit on what we have done or else we are going to never be truly satisfied.
