Song to the Siren

I was about to go to bed when I realized that I hadn't posted anything here yet. Then I initially couldn't think of anything to write about. The only thing I have in my head right now is an epic song. But that's just as good a topic as any, right?

This song is Song to the Siren by Tim Buckley. It's a slightly mournful piece wrought with unfulfilled desire. Something that pretty much anyone can relate to. This isn't a new topic and will have countless different spins put on it before the earth ends. But this song hits it just right I think. I could write pages and pages of analytics on this piece of music, but I'm not going to. That does the art an injustice in my book. Just give it a listen and have it stir your own thoughts. Let it touch you the way that it will. It's always better that way. :D

Now...if only I could stop listening to it and go to bed......

Ponyo

I'm watching it for the first time in Japanese right now. It's more interesting this way so far. Except for the king of the sea guy. Liam Neeson's voice was better for that character I think. But yeah.

I'm suddenly really tired. I think it's a sugar crash from the two mountain dews I drank earlier. This was gonna be a longer post but I'm thinking I'll go to bed. Sleep is good for me, ya know.

progress...

Not much has been made really. But at the same time, I've come leaps and bounds. Life is weird like that. I know that as time passes I'll get over it. But I'll definitely never forget. I just hope it's not gonna be a major regret in my life, like so many other things. I'm pretty sure it's not gonna be. And I know how to make sure it isn't now. It just came to me.

I'm gonna be okay. I just have to make myself move and get there. That's the hard part I guess. It's not hard for everyone, but it is for me. Oh well. I'm not used to things being easy. If something was easy, I think I'd actually freak out more than I did here.

So that's pretty much it for now. Short and sweet. But I plan on starting up my daily blogging again. When I remember that is. :D

Hate Me

I have to block out thoughts of you so I don't lose my head
They crawl in like a cockroach leaving babies in my bed
Dropping little reels of tape to remind me that I'm alone
Playing movies in my head that make a porno feel like home
There's a burning in my pride, a nervous bleeding in my brain
An ounce of peace is all I want for you. Will you never call again?
And will you never say that you love me just to put it in my face?
And will you never try to reach me?
It is I that wanted space


I have this song on repeat right now. It pretty much sums up how I feel right now. It's by Blue October and you can listen to it here.

After watching the video I can see it having a different meaning from what I originally put into it. But that's the great thing about music. It can (and usually will) mean something totally different to everyone listening to it.

The main thing that attracted me to this song in the very beginning was the raw passion that I heard. Its something that isn't very common in music. Then I started listening to the lyrics and realized that this song delved deep into a facet of the human condition that isn't really ever handled well in my book. But this song handles this topic awesomely. And it really handles it the only way it can be handled: in music.

This song has touched my life in many ways. And in a way, I'm glad that I've actually gone through what is described in the song. I think I'm a better man for it. I hope I'm a better man for it.

Listen to it and feel free to share your thoughts on how the song makes you feel. :D

Man I Suck At This

So I should have posted something about the Riverside Lunar Festival show that I Co-Hosted on Jan 28th. I've been so distracted that I haven't even kept up with what I said I would do here. I mean...how hard is it to post something up every day? It's really not that hard.

Well, part of the reason that I haven't been doing it is that I clicked a bad link and messed up my computer. I ended up having to re-install windows. The whole thing was just a big fiasco that shouldn't have put my computer out of commission for two weeks like it did. But I finally got it taken care of. Now I just need to get myself a storage pocket to hold some data while I reconfigure my hard drives. It could just be a temporary pocket that I borrow from someone. Maybe I'll borrow Richard's external drive that I gave him. Maybe.

BIG NEWS! Everyday Sam is starting back up either this week or next week. Depends on how long it takes for me to get my login information from my hosting peeps over at Comic Genesis. Plus I need to re-arrange the pages. I don't like em. Never have, really. But getting the comics out have a higher priority than that and I can get them out while I'm working on that stuff anyway, so new comics will be happening soon! What will happen to Sam? Will he make it through his training? How will his friends react to his new job? Who knows what I'm talking about? If you know, that makes me very happy. It really does. If you don't know, the link is right at the beginning of this paragraph. It won't take long to read through. I promise. :D

The main reason for this? I have a copyright. Why am I NOT using it to make as much as I can?

And with that.....I'm done. I'm off to go work on some comics. :D MAN! It's been too long since I've said that.
