i had a conversation recently at work about music with a guy and he knew about team sleep and the deftones.. we talked about some of the different albums
he seemed to feel like the jury was still out on their latest release but i told him i thought it was a good record in the same vein as saturday night wrist.. we both agreed that the white pony was their best album and we also both agreed that their self-titled was like a glitch in the system or sort of like a black sheep in their catalog, especially considering that it came right after the white pony anyway, i brought that up just to say it felt REALLY good to have a conversation about real music with someone else who knows real music and is knowledgable about it when i say real music i mean like.. music with substance, skill, talent, personal touch, emotion (not just extroverted drunken revelry and lust) it seriously felt good to have that meeting of the minds for a while there, because i run into a lot of people who really only know music on a surface level ++++++ a while ago, some girl was telling me about how much she likes kirk franklin's song 'smile' i was kinda disgusted by that comment even tho i try to let people have their opinions i was like irritated and i told her the song is not even real gospel.. she's like well what is it? i'm like its just a superficial song thats like the audio equivalent of putting a band-aid on a bullet wound this is the same girl who fornicates every night.. i only know this because she came in to work extremely happy one day talking about "my aids/std test came back negative!!!!" wow.. awsum. smh i don't care what she does but u should be able to see what i'm getting at kirk franklin why aren't u singing and telling people to repent? why are you telling people to smile in their problems as opposed to telling them God can provide? ..why don't you talk about how our God is a very present help in a time of need? why are you making these songs that really don't mean anything and don't even SOUND good audibly? (you can't tell me you actually like that song on a purely audio level) but whatever ++++++ i did 83 blogs in january.. where's my trophy? seriously some kind of appreciation would be nice.. oh well, some jobs are thankless? is my website a worthless endeavor? meh.. *keeps hope alive* *keeps comments open* *keeps donation button active* ++++++ i want to start watching cheaters again.. i seriously haven't watched it for like a year! ++++++ physiognomy is an interesting science ++++++ i really like my new layout! what do u think!? ++++++ charles hamilton put out a nice beat tape recently.. i might use some of the beats to rap on rap is so fun!!! ++++++ my life lately has been bonkers.. i don't want to "complain" so i have been just keeping it all to myself whenever i "complain" its really just to let people know they are not the only ones out there w/ issues i saw a blog earlier today made by a chick named shannon here's what she wrote on her front page Born and raised in Orlando. Married a soldier in 2009, Divorced in 2011. Lost a baby in between. Had my heart broken by my best friend after that. My life has been a roller coaster of sacrifice, job loss, deployment, PTSD, miscarriage, infertility, divorce, confusion, celebration, and everything in between. This blog has documented my journey from newlywed trying to conceive, struggling to keep a volatile marriage together, ultimate separation and divorce, and subsequent attempt at picking up the pieces. don't u feel that its extremely honest and unpretentious? that is how my "complaining" is meant to be taken.. its not a woe is me, its just something for people to relate to.. however i am not sure if people get that or not .. so i keep my ish to myself lately ++++++ i saw a show on tv today and a lady said when she was in her 20s and 30s she was about "fun" and "sex" in dating but it got her nowhere and now that she is in her 40s she seeks "respect" and "love" no one seems up for giving her those things ok.. look this woman has it backwards when you are in your years of beauty and youth u seek out a good man because that's when u can lock him down u don't waste those years because that is the time when u are most desirable if u try to "settle down" at 40 then u really have no more 'leverage' (beauty and youth = bargaining power) and you may not even be able to have kids at that point i am not sure why this woman was so misinformed DO NOT WASTE YOUR BEAUTY AND YOUTH ON SOME JERK-OFF OF A MAN.. get a man who values u.. not someone who just wants to bang you.. save yourself a lot of headaches ++++++ the playstation 3 is in a great place right now it is the only system this generation that has gotten better with time i'm really happy with some of these cool games they are releasing lately and the prices are really good right now as well ++++++ one thing that pisses me off is when people say a relationship won't work because "the sex is bad" u shouldn't put the cart before the horse u shouldn't even know how the sex is to begin with! u get to know the person first u ass-clown! sex does not dictate the relationship, the relationship dictates the sex! if u are not married i do not think u should be goen hard in the paint if u kno wat i mean stop kicking people to the curb for stupid reasons! stop allowing sex to make your decisions for u if someone is willing to stay with u without having sex then u know they really care about u.. if u just lay down and spread em' then that person may just be taking whats offered ++++++ just a quick thing to think about if something wrong and unexpected happened in front of u would u be able to react fast enough to defuse the situation? one day when i worked selling tvs, a co-worker came in and he was in a really weird state of mind.. he was a bit scattered and it seemed like he was thinking a lot.. it turns out that on his way to work he saw a man beating a woman in the street really bad he didn't do anything to stop the beating and actually drove off even after coming to a complete stop.. he kept saying "i should've done something, i should've done something" so ask yourself.. if something pops off and the time is limited, what will u do? i hope u do something that is honorable so that u can have a clear conscience when its all said and done would u believe, i had a friend named jennifer who told me she was raped at a party? its not the rape that was crazy its the fact that it was during the party.. out in the open.. meaning some people were watching it happen and none of them did anything she said when she got to school later some of them asked her if she was ok and she really cursed them out to a point where i doubt if they ever tried speaking to her again i hope nothing crucial happens to any of us, but if something crazy happens.. try to make the right decision and make it fast stick up for people and don't let them get abused in front of u if they get abused when ur not around then u obviously can't help.. but if u find yourself seeing injustice, u have to think.. "maybe God put me here to stop this" that thought should alleviate all doubt, because if God is on your side then u are ready for battle.. so take that thought and stand for something, u know what i'm saying? just some food for thought, because u never know when u may be able to save a person from something terrible ++++++ i have noticed many people have a misconception about me or people who are selective about the people they are around like i might say i don't want to be around someone who does drugs, or i might say i don't want to be around a person who parties all the time, or i might say a person lies too much, or i might say a person is some kind of sexual pervert i get really tired of how people tell me i think i'm holier than they are that is not the case, i have my own issues and temptations and things i deal with.. so why should i be around people with more issues? i tried to explain this to a girl once.. she was telling me she parties a lot and has sex with any guy and i'm like well that's not how i want to live so we should go our separate ways.. then she gives me that whole "oh u think ur better than me" speech i told her no, i never said that.. the real deal is that i already have issues and i need someone who wants to actually be accountable to God with me.. i need someone who can help sharpen me since the Bible says "iron sharpens iron" so if i get weak one day and want to give up or do something negative then u will help keep me in line if you are fellow 'iron' but if u just don't care (which she didn't) then u won't be helping me do things God's way.. u won't be encouraging me to go to church or encouraging me to read my Bible.. u'll be telling me to smoke weed with you or whatever it is u like to do why don't people understand this? they always want to tell me i'm wrong for having discretion .. or they may call me a "prude" but i don't even see how that got a negative connotation because the word prudent means 'acting with wisdom and foresight' people are so ridiculous sometimes ++++++ so.. the other night i watched a documentary on columbine after watching it i found myself feeling.. hmm.. feeling like something was missing i believe there is some sort of cover-up going on.. i can't exactly put my finger on it but there are certain 'connections' that are too important to be overlooked and certain 'disconnects' where there should be linear information an example of the connections i'm talking about are, like how did they hide and stash all these guns and bombs? what did their parents do for a living? how did they have access to such sophisticated weapons and bombs? (harris's dad was in the airforce) some of the disconnects are.. ok.. like they talked about how they played violent video games and listened to rock music.. but why was there no mention of the literature they read? who were their real heroes? those guys completed a mission.. well whose mission did they accomplish? i got a feeling like they felt they were doing something that was bigger than themselves.. the fact that this 'thing' was not named or detailed at all is suspect to me.. it sounds like a cover up to give an example, its like how someone may rape a child and be put in jail.. but no one looks at the fact that that person was in an actual organization full of pedophiles they act like things are isolated incidents when they are actually a small offshoot of a major crime ring something about this tells me its more than just two troubled teens.. but.. not going to spend much time talking about this.. i just want to let it be known that i think there is something more to columbine after watching the documentary.. overall i just came away with more questions than answers
