Hussein

Im so fucking tired of hearing people everytime they talk about Barack Obama bringing up how his middle name is the same name as Saddam Hussein. Boy George from Culture Club was gay, does that mean President Bush, a crusader against granting gays equal rights, is gay? No. So please everybody shut the fuck up about Obama's name. It doesn't make a fucking difference.

Also Barack Obama is not the antichrist. If he was then A) everybody would be adoring and embracing him right now, which I don't see him making mends with Republicans and B) Instead of being from Kenya, he'd have to be from the middle east. Since the beginning of time everybody has sought out this "antichrist" Nero, Napoleon, Hitler, Stalin, Reagan, Hugenots, I could go on all day. So please everybody shut the fuck up about Obama being the antichrist! Everybody knows that this figure, which I don't see being a man, has to be part Jewish from the tribe of Dan. That is if Revelation didn't already happen.

Oh and did anybody hear about that one dude in Texas saying the world is going to end on Thursday? It almost seems like everyother week we hear something like this. Heaven's Gate? Y2K? And who the hell could forget the Jonestown massacre?

Ok I'm getting off topic but I'm saying nobody knows when the world is going to end, when Jesus will come back, or anything like that. So in reality its pointless to fixate on it so just live life and hope that if it happens, you won't suffer through it. No one religion has a monopoly on truth.

And most importantly, if you are going to attack Obama, attack him for his political beliefs or at least over something intellectual. I mean its one thing to be against him if you don't want to pull out of Iraq, or if you don't that Universal Healthcare is a good idea. If you don't then that's cool and you have your right to your opinion though I definitely do not agree with it. But please Americans this may be a big favor but don't be ignorant. Not voting for a man because his middle name is Hussein and his pastor said "God Damn America". Oh and the funny thing, Bush's pastor endorsed Obama. Don't believe me? Look it up.

So quick recap:
1. Shut up about Obama's middle name
2. Obama isn't the antichrist, it's scripturally impossible, especially with all the hype of people thinking he is. No one knows.
3. I'm not saying everybody vote Obama, I'm saying don't slander him over his birthgiven name. Go after his actually issues, that way Americans may look, oh I don't know, a little bit intelligent?
4. Live life like you normally would. Not fixating on the end of the world, or thinking you know the spiritual "truth". (ok this one isn't political at all, just a good thought that may make everyone's life a little easier)
/end rant

It's happened once before...

Just a scenario:

Lets say you're dating this girl and her ex tries to get back with her suddenly after you've been with her at least a month. Now you're not sure which ex it is because you didn't ask, but you do know one of her exes is really good friends with an ex of yours who you saw at the movie theater a few weeks back. You go ahead and act like it doesn't bother you, because in reality you don't want her to know that truly it is (so there goes the whole "asking" who part). Does one make a guess that would probably be right because you know how manipulative your ex is, or do you just leave it alone and hope she doesn't fall in the obviously set trap. That is if it is who you think it is.

Tricky right?


Anyway, with that being said, last night was perfect and I wouldn't of traded it for anything.

Hiatus

It's a new song I wrote. I don't have it recorded or anything yet, but I figured I'd put the lyrics up on here since like 5 people total will end up reading it and I don't think anyone will do anything with them, I mean I'm not really a good songwriter lol. Anyway here it is. I'm pretty sure I misspelled deceiving too.

Anyway the story behind the song is this: I have an ex girlfriend who is a complete cunt. She broke up with me but whenever I would try to go with somebody else she would do all these different things to either guilt me into not going after it, or she'd stir something up and make drama out of things, because she knew it was the one thing I absolutely hated. Why I dated that drama queen I don't know. Anyway I've been with my new girlfriend, Tomie, for about a little over a month now. And I've been waiting for my ex to come back around and stir something up because that's what she does. So really the song is saying that for once I found someone that I truly do care about, and I'm not going to let the bitch split us up. But she hasn't came around. There's more to it, I would usually leave stuff like that alone except, A) she saw us together and though she didnt do anything she just keep glaring at me, and that's never a good sign and B) My ex, and my current gf's ex are really good friends. And to be blunt, I feel something is about to go down drama wise and this time, I'm not backing down.

Now that you know the story behind it here are the lyrics:


"Hiatus" - Wil Petty


Everything is crossing my mind so fast
All of my strengths and all the things I lack
Here lately I'm just dividing fiction from fact
Defending myself just waiting for an attack
But you're gone
lone gone
You can't stay away for that long

Cause whenever something good comes to me
You always come around to defeat me
Change everything to be deceiving
But this time around, you're not breaking me down
You won't be bringing me down

Our hiatis needs to be permanent
I try to finish everything but for once I quit
Truth be told I have had enough of this
I keep on waiting for all of your bullshit
But you're gone
Lone gone
You can't stay away for that
Cause you're gone
Lone gone
You can't stay away for that long

Cause whenever something good comes to me
You always come around to defeat me
Change everything to be deceiving
But this time around, you're not breaking me down
You won't be bringing me down

You're always in my head
Made me wish I was dead
With the words that you've said
And the blood that was shed
But for once I am strong
Just enough to move on...
...You don't deserve me

*solo*

Yea you're Gone
Lone gone
You can't stay away for that long

Cause whenever something good comes to me
You always come around to defeat me
Change everything to be deceiving
But this time around, you're not breaking me down

Just some thoughts.

1. Dropping acid is a religious expierence, to me it almost seems like a simulation of the overview of life. You are thrown in the middle of good and evil (good trip/bad trip), and what happens over the next several hours all depends on your actions and thoughts. I haven't done it in like over a year so I don't know why I'm suddenly making this epiphany, but really one can not understand what I'm grasping here without having had that expierence themselves. Now I'm not saying you are close to god as your brain drops blood on your spine, but what I am saying is that there are really so many similarities. The only difference is the effects of it are all in your head, as for life and the constant fight between good and evil, look outside or turn on the television.

2. I want to go to Jerusalem. I honestly don't know why, I've been thinking about it for awhile though. Its not because I'm religious, I am a Christian but as you can tell by statement #1 I'm not exactly the next Jesus or anything like that. I don't know, I just feel some kind of need to go there, I dreamt of being there last night. I need to go to the mountain, and the wall, and the dome.

3. A lot of my beliefs have been called into question by myself lately. I've done a lot of religious and philosophical research this week, trying to find some answers I know that no one on Earth has, and like me won't know until it's over. I'm almost certain though that the "Antichrist" is a concept, not going to be in human form, which wasn't common Christian doctorine until so many accusations arose amongst the earliest more primitive Christians calling others that name as an excuse to fight them. Nostradamous seems to be closer to right. I don't know whether to just not believe it, or maybe just be agnostic about that overall minor detail. Oh and, the world wasn't created in 6 days, that idea did not even come around until after the Civil War. In biblical times, days meant milleniums. And the reason the idea of it being 6 "literal" days came around was a backlash against darwinism and evolution.

I still have faith. But now the world is to the point where extremists control everything. Most think of Christians being Pat Robertson and not the rastafarian or the guy who doesn't let the extremists tell him how to vote. Many think of muslims as terrorists, and not the homeless in Iraq or the Islamic community around here, who believe it or not weren't happy about 9/11. Many think of atheists and think of the people trying to stop displays of biblical texts or people just being pessemistic trying to prove everyone wrong and not the guy who doesn't give a shit what people think, and leaves them alone as he chooses not to share the same faith despite Christians and others coming to his door every weekend inviting him or her to a church in hopes of having them saved. Which brings me to my next thought.

4. Not everyone wants to be saved. And in the end it is nobody's fault. There will always be atheists, buddhists, christians, hindis, jews, muslums, pagans, etc. And as a note to fellow Christians, maybe I'm the only one who thinks this and I may very well be wrong, maybe if you really wanted people to convert, and find Christ... well then maybe some should back off. What was that saying... "If you want something, let it come to you" something to that effect. Maybe more should try that and maybe just maybe it can overshadow the people who have so often turned others away by preaching about being damned in hell, saying if you don't take the bible literally you're unchristian, oh and of course the whole concept of "If you're not a republican, you're not a Christian" needs to just die.

Long point made short: If christians can accept that not everyone will believe the same, if instead of trying to make a political statement to the world the churches would try to focus on self-redemption, if instead of preaching about the evils and the "fire and brimstone" people heard a more peaceful message that actually represents what almost all christians believe, and instead of being so corrupt on tithing for a new steeple or a road that leads to a back entrance, the money went to better use like helping the poverished, saving the enviroment, fighting AIDS, you know stuff that God really wants to see done to the world, the bad image nonbelievers have about christians would change.

But if most are so commited on fighting crusades against abortion clinics and homosexuals and any logical thought of evolution or global warming is heresy, and continue feeling elitist and afraid the world is going to end any minute, then fine have at it. I'm not going to stop anyone, or judge them for it. I just very strongly disagree.

Going to Richmond

I'm leaving Loganville Monday morning to go to Richmond, VA for a week. Should be cool. Got enough green to last me the weekend. This all has the beginnings to an extremely fun summer I must say :)

alcohol

So I get drunk every once in awhile. I'm 19 and in college, does everyone really expect me not to occasionally drink several beers in one night? So my dad found my 12 pack of longneck Miller High Lifes, and got pissed. Personally I don't see the problem besides the fact I'm 19 but come on drinking at 19 is like going to a R rated movie at 15 or 16, it's not really a big deal. Actually you would think they'd be relieved or even proud that I:

1) didn't drive drunk
2) wasn't loud and obnoxious
3) that it's not an all the time thing, just more for special occasions
4) it was alcohol and not anything else I could truly get in trouble for.
5) I bought it with my own money, it's not like I lied to him asking for money for something else and then buying beer instead. No I asked him for $3o to buy gas and go to the movies. Which I did, then I took money out of my account to buy a 12-pack.

I mean if one can't get high or drunk then what can they do? ya know? Well, he didn't really go off on me about it so I don't think it's going to be a big deal, so. Still though, whats the big deal? I should be the one pissed because he took the rest of my beer. Oh well, better him finding it then mom, at least I can probably talk to him about it and have a chance at him understanding and just letting it go. But idk, maybe mom would be more reasonable on this one, it doesn't matter though, I think I can handle this one on my own.

The sad truth

Music today just isn't the same as it once was. Once upon the time it wasn't about the money... it was about spirituality, putting poetry to the sweetest of riffs, most importantly it was actually about the music. Traveling to New York, San Francisco, London, Woodstock, just to play and have others appreciate your musician ship. We saw what happen during the Classical era happen again on a global scale. Instead of just going through London, Paris, Vienna, Venice, Rome, and Prague you go to New York, Los Angeles, Atlanta, London, Tokyo, Rio De Janeiro, and it was great. I would give anything if I personally could revive that notion. Maybe it's just me listening to a little bit of Hendrix right now, but I think I have that capability. Music needs to go back to being art, not this whole cycle of we sign you to write generic top 40 hits and you get 1% of the profits. We just need to come together and fix the music industry. We need an indie revolution on the airwaves. That is the only way we can fight this war, unless someone within an industry gets fed up and goes indie. I feel so good right now, I had to get that off my chest. Bring back what made the 60s and 70s so great. The Led Zeppelins, The Jimi Hendrixes, the Doors-types, The Steve Millers and Janis Joplins. And lets give them freedom to do whatever they want and still get recognized.

Macon

I'm in Macon this weekend for the YDG convention, anybody else show? I'm at the Howard Johnson (or as they call it the "ho jo". Just let me know

The Radio Plays a forgotten song...

Ain't nothing quite like driving out in the country late on a spring night with your high beams on jamming out to Golden Earring's "Radar Love". =)

Happy 4/20!

Well its now 4/21 but yea. I was goin to dedicate a post to the day but given the activities one must accomplish on the most holy of days, I was too paralyzd to even try lol.

Wasps suck

I hate wasps. I had a total buzzkill earlier because one got in my van. I don't care though, I had a great day and never really "came down."

<--- need to be extinct, for real.

A little bit of A.D.D. in this post.

I've always longed to have the lifestyle of a rockstar but at the same time have one of like a nomad. I've loved the thought of waking up somewhere different everyday, and just going with it. But like I said the only way you can truly do that is by being a rockstar, but there is so much corruption within it, that it is not even worth it. I mean any deadline on creativity affects how good any sort of work will be. Books, Movies, Music, etc. And that seems to be all the music business as with any business cares about. Meeting deadlines, but you would figure that the people who are within the industry would know enough about music to realize the thought of "quantity over quality" or really the way capitalist society works "quantity with quality within a timeframe" hurts it. Songs take time to write. Some take only a few minutes to write, but others can take ages. The ones that take forever are usually the ones that are the testements to our culture. Of course, if Axl Rose ever releases Chinese Democracy I don't expect too much. I'm starting to think that really his whole point on Chinese Democracy is to wait until that oxymoron becomes a reality. Sorry Axl, you'll probably be dead by the time China stops being communist and stops diplomatically and militarily bullying Taiwan and Tibet. Anyway, I'm way off topic again, back to what I was saying. I love the idea of just being able to let things flow. Just not caring... we always look down upon people who don't care, and don't fit within this capitalistic style of government. Really I think the best form of government would be to mix the both. Allow everybody to do what they want to do, but make sure in some ways people are paid the same. Capitalism and the arts just do not mix. It makes everything generic to what the corporations think the masses want to hear. But really, all it does is tire the masses of hearing the same shit over and over and they look for something new. Why do you think Indie artists have been going up so fast? Why do you think more and more people are listening to World Music? I think some of them probably have the same openness like me where we look to become cultured and enjoy listening to everything to draw into our own creativity, but even then the industry finds ways to mess that up. How? They try to sign the indie artists and give them the deadlines and all the other bullshit and the fans consider them to "sell out".

Maybe they are selling out, I don't like to think of it like that though. I think of it as them trying to make a living, in a society which creativity is looked down upon. The government looks down on it, corporations look down on it, yet the people as humans have a natural urge to have creativity. People in power or having authority always long for conformity so they can ensure security and hope people buy into anything. People living within the domain want their creativity so they can have expression, have some sort of philosophical value in their minds. I always think of me being a famous musician or a philosopher so I can have some sort of true value in this world. To me working in some office space for numerous years so I can feed a family is not doing shit to the world. It helps some company make more money or have something balanced. What difference is that going to make 10 years from now? Shit that company may be long gone by then. Look at literature, paintings, sculptures, architecture, music, etc. it is all still around, and to this day we all still talk about books that were written thousands of years ago, pyramids of giza, Beethoven, Sistine Chapel, Mona Lisa, Sculpture of David, etc. In 50 years no one will remember Enron, because Enron never had true value in our world's future. Development of the mind is the world's future.

Now granted we will always need somebody to make food, somebody to protect our borders, somebody to transport, and somebody to make sure our phones, electricity, water, and cable are up and running. There is no way around that, we'll always need farmers, lumberjacks, and other jobs. The thing is though, as much as we need them, we need the arts as well. Without the arts we lose our creativity. Without the creativity and curiousity we lose the need to advance to make things better. We also lose further enhancing our minds, which I think most have noticed that our world has gotten dumber. Without that everything comes to a complete halt, and problems never go unsolved. Lets just lose creativity and stick to protocol. Ok in order to make a protocol you have to CREATE one. You get what I am saying?

Anyway went off topic again. Pretty much this is a round-about way of saying the following:

I don't want to be a capitalist slave, but at the same time I see the problems with it's counterparts. Everybody wants it all to be black & white, instead of gray, when in all reality the solution is within the gray. As much as I want to be a musician or a songwriter or a journalist, chances are I probably won't because a capitalist society does not embrace such things as much as things that benefit the country temporarily. While I can be whatever I "want" to be because it is the American Dream... that is all it is though, a dream. It only becomes a reality if you are the absolute best at it and in a country of over 300 million people that is quite a feat to achieve seeing that there is a lack of such jobs, and greed as well as laws to promote the best of the capitalist system prevents other companies from being able to start up their own things without having to take all this time and effort to even last... that is if they can. Then there's the whole thing where if you try to stray from the norm, you get looked down upon, and in some cases, bullshit laws in the name of security prevent us from doing some things we truly want to do. I don't mean anything by means of dropping a bomb or murder, or anything of the sort, obviously we need to secure ourselves, but we all go to far because of some asshole wanting their way in a city, state or the whole nation.

There needs to be a change, soon.

this past week and uh, music

What Happened this week:

Monday: Hung out with Chris, ate at Krystal and drove to Stone Mountain. Played a lot of Rock Band and played a game of NHL 07 that if it ever happened in real life people would talk about for years.

Tuesday: Parents left for Virginia. I went to school for the day and left pretty blazed. Got home remained blazed, hung out with Cole and Devere. CD came in the mail, Jack Ingram. Damn good musician, for some reason they consider him to be in the country genre, seems to be genreless to me. It just sounds like music, honestly. Good music at that.

Wednesday: Got blazed again, housekeepers came and cleaned up the house. Andrew came over later, we filmed an artist-to-artist interview on my camera. haven't uploaded it on the computer yet so idk if it worked. The Heroin Diaries book came in the mail, started reading away.

Thursday: Got blazed yet again. Didn't bother going to school, didn't feel like it. Missed a test in Government that I was clueless was even going to happen. Will probably bite me in the ass but for some reason I just don't care. Meatball came over we hung out and made a shitload of food: Brownies, Hot Pockets, and fuck I can't even remember lol.

Friday: Woke up to a very nice wake n' bake. Kept me fucked up all day, for some reason I make better decisions stoned then I do sober. Examples: Started going to church, made that decision stoned (never went stoned though). Actually started trying to accomplish more, stoned. Dating Caitlin: sober. nuff said. Went to the movies later on in the day with Meatball, Jesse and Jessica. Saw Prom Night, it was decent. Then later on saw about 10 other people that I had either never met or just hadn't seen in ages. Got home at 10:30, parents still weren't back. They had left VA at 7am so yea it was rather odd. Ended up getting home at like 1am I think.

Saturday: Woke up early, drove to Duluth and couldn't figure out where the YDG meeting was supposed to be. I ended up just hanging around there til like 2 or 3. Parents noticed an empty can of corn in the fridge and bitched at me about it. I didn't put it there, why would I make corn in the first place, put it in tuna salad and then put the empty can in the fridge? Either way, I was the one in trouble and confronted about it. Knew that would happen anyway, so I don't even care. Probably brought it upon myself in some fucked up way anyway, right? They didn't care so much about it being in there, just more upset that I didn't know why it was in there. Kelley called later on and I talked to her for awhile too. Then I got a myspace message from Whiskey seeing if I wanted to jam out. I was supposed to go and listen to Meatball's band practice, but they were supposed to start at like 1 and it was already 4:30 so idk, I just didn't go. Several other people called, wanting to hang out around here, I just didn't bother answering, 9 times out of 10 if I'm not at home they want to know why and shit and it gets really annoying. Must I really tell people why I'm going where I am? Besides my parents of course, and most of the time I don't even want to tell them. I'm usually not doing anything wrong, I just LOVE my privacy.

Anyway, I went to Whiskey's and stayed the night there. Got to jam with all of the Listprice members that was great, we played 2 of their songs, 2 of mine that lacked bass or drum parts but Joe and Zak did great improv for it, then just jammed out playing some Bush, Foo Fighters, Hendrix, and other stuff. Then we got pretty bored so we drove around Social Circle. After Joe left we ended up driving to Covington to go to a coffee house that always has music. They weren't open so we ended up just coming to my house at like 10 for a hour and getting my laptop and acoustic, talked to my mom for awhile too, I think it got her mind off me lying earlier in the day too so that was good. Watched Saturday Night Live when we got back to Social Circle, had one of the funniest skits I've seen in a long time. They were playing "Amie" by Pure Prairie League and the commentary went something like.

1:You know who this song reminds me of?
2:Amy?
1:No, Susan
3:Oh yea man, did you get up the courage to ask her out?
1:Yea man I did, I got stonewalled though
4:Stonewalled? how?
1:Well she said that she couldn't date me because I was a pedophile. And I was like "Woah, pedophile? That's a big word for a 10 year old!"
*they all sing the chorus to Amie* (Amie, what you wanna do? I think I could stay with you for awhile maybe longer if I do)
1:Then her mom broke up with me.

After that I went to bed turned my laptop on put in the Heroin Diaries soundtrack and went to sleep.

Sunday: Woke up and laid in the bed til like 10:30. Watched a lot of Kessen 2 being played, I'm the master of that game lol. We all ended up going up to Monroe and eating at McDonald's. It's connected to a gas station. I'm almost certain more people go there for the $1 food rather than the $3.50 a gallon gas. We left after a certain someone (not me) pretty much stunk up the entire restaurant, it was hysterical. We also jammed out some as well, mostly playing Goo Goo Dolls, I now know how to play Sympathy so I'm happy :) , talk about a song that can get you laid haha. Came back home, I think this is the first night in a week that the entire family is falling asleep under the same roof, lol. Has it's good and bad things, sometimes really ugly. I'm actually feeling really sick though, its just a really bad headache though.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Most importantly though, the 5 albums I just haven't stopped listening to this past week.

1. Rise Against - Siren Songs of the Counterculture
2. Theory of a Deadman - Gasoline
3. Eve 6 - It's all in Your Head
4. Sixx AM - Heroin Diaries
5. Jack Ingram - Electric

The Rise Against and Eve 6 albums really portray a lot of what I am feeling right now. Especially Rise Against though: "Paper Wings", "Life Less Frightening", "Swing Life Away", "Give it All", shit the whole album does. Eve 6 I just have a lot of songs I like, "Think Twice" does describe how I used to be, not really that way anymore, learned not to care so much. "At Least We're Breathing" definitely comes to mind when I look at me now. "Arch Drive Goodbye" is another good song as well.

I just love the uniqueness that Rise Against and Eve 6 have. I mean Eve 6 has that kind of college-vibe to them, and they have like this unique style of bridges I have rarely ever heard used by any other band, I can't describe it really, it's like almost raggae with distortion? You'd have to hear it to know what I'm talking about. Oh, Everclear does it too, but it is still nowhere close to how Eve 6 does it, I mean the only real similarities are the repetitiveness, but like I can't see Everclear doing it like Eve 6 does it and vice-versa. It's just like you hear it and you know "Oh, that is Eve 6"

Then Rise Against, at least in Siren Songs from the Counterculture, there's just that absolutely perfect mix of hardcore and punk. It's like a mix between the 2, but listening to it you can't just be like they're hardcore or they're punk. I dunno, if you haven't heard those 2 bands you should definitely check them out. I have yet to find a person who hasn't liked Rise Against.

Ok well I've been rambling for like 5 paragraphs about music, better just end this now before I'm up til 6am writing more views on it haha.

Diary / Blog

Ok, I've been reading Nikki Sixx's Heroin Diaries, back from his junkie days in Motley Crue. It is so far a good book, similar to Kurt Cobain's Journals except, well it makes a lot more sense and instead of just being like one page having a song written then the next being a letter to himself, it is a book where you can see his downfall. Plus having the soundtrack helps too. Anyway, not the point.

You know just look at where we are today. In a world where diaries and books are slowly becoming obsolete, I have to wonder what the future has in store. So many people are hearing of the Heroin Diaries, or the Kurt Cobain Journals, and I'm sure Jim Morrison's is due out soon if it hasn't been already. What about our generation though? Say I become some drugged up rock star who has an immortal legacy: what are they going to do, make a book out of all of my blogs, and find the few pages I have actually written on notebook paper to make a book? I don't know, I have always wanted to be a person who the world can look back and be like "That was one fucked up son of a bitch, but damn didn't he change us." How likely will that be? Well so far the only ones that I can say are truly "immortal" right now in the fact that 1000s of years from now if this world even exists, would be: Beethoven, Mozart, Presley, Hendrix, Lennon and amongst some cliques Marley and Cobain. Dylan, Plant and Page will be added whenever they are truly gone. Sure right now we all remember Morrison, Joplin, Holly, Sixx, etc. but fast forward 20-30 even 100 years will our children or grandchildren even know of them? I mean look at Toto, a band who defined late 70s and early 80s rock, one of the few precursors to the monster ballads we all experenced in the 80s, who the fuck remembered or heard of them before GTA: San Andreas remembered us of one simple song? How about even someone as immortal as Beethoven? He ended the classical era brought forth the Romance era, and that was only in 1825. Romance era happened from 1825-1900 can you name one 'Romance' artist? He wrote at least 8 symphonies, but all we can recall is Symphony No. 5. It is sad that this happens, the fact that one-time equivilants of gods in one generation's eyes can be completely erased 3 generations later. Why? Music shouldn't be this short-term, it should be preserved for the future to hear. It is almost like we're about to hit another dark age and have yet another rebirth where people in some futuristic fucked up nation will decide "hey lets study up on this shit these great Americans, or British, or Japanese, or Saudis (you get the point) did!" Remember though, what is the one thing that was lost by the time the Renaissance happened? Music, except for the music that happened in 1200 by some monks who believed music should only be used for religious purposes to show love to God. Who at that time, seemed like he was on some sort of cruise while the Black Plague, Crusades and other things happened. Not being blasphemous at all. I'm just starting to think, our history runs in a cycle... us humans get so far then we are pushed back. The ideologies, the thoughts, the structures, the sciences always last through this hard phase. But music is the only one that didn't return... except for those Bible Psalms.

So I ask the question again. What will become of our modern day rock stars? Even if they do become immortal, the great cycle will just reset. The thing I keep asking myself though is Blogs or Diaries? Hmph, which will Heath Ledger's be based on?

Has anybody seen this? Its so scary how accurate it is. Like some of the stuff they predicted was gonna happen in 2015 is already upon us, just look at the iPhone whenever you watch this, and you'll already see similarities. Definitely write back and discuss this.

Anyway, today was pretty fun. I woke up and had to go to the dentist for a clean-up, and my teeth have improved compared to the way they had been since birth so I'm relieved. I'm not really materialistic but I do want better teeth lol. Afterwards I hung out with Chris all day, ended up going to Stone Mountain for awhile, ate at Krystal and then went back to his place and played Rockband and NHL 07 the whole day. The craziest hockey games on video games always hapen whenever we hang out. Today he was the Detroit Red Wings and I was the Montreal Canadiens. He was up 3-2 with 0.1 seconds left in the 3rd period and I scored a goal to take it into overtime. From there it went into a shootout, and lasted about 20 minutes until he finally got past my goalie, but I came so close quite a few times. Other than that not much happened, listened to a lot of music... heard this local band from Atlanta I hadn't heard before, they're called the Rise of Science. A little bit emo, but they are still really good, check them out.
