catching up

seattle did happen. the city was filled with a plethora of hipsters and scenesters looking for the next big something to go against. the trip was definitely an adventure, despite the feelings of the competitive nature that seattle seemed to make me feel. in pendleton, i witnessed a redneck fight outside of a denny's. it was definitely a gratifying feeling to watch some angry drunk "i'm beating it off while listening to godsmack" crew rocking out the moons over my hammy for us all. anyways, moving on from that to something more on the "i needs to talk about this" mode, we will go here.

first off: my bloody valentine is touring again and coming out with an album of some of the material that kevin shields has been hiding away since 1991-1994, which should be an exciting listen for shoegaze fans alike. i nearly pissed myself at the thought of hearing some new my bloody valentine. not only that, but they are TOURING again! i'm damned ready to travel anywhere in the u.s. to see that band play! i mean...holy freaking fuck!

second: i've had a lot of trains of thought today. my brain has been buzzing around the concept of relationships with ourselves to the ones that we have with friends. the funny thing that i came across in my mind was how close i am with myself. i tend to talk in my head constantly in such a manner that it is as if i was talking to myself or feeding my brain. everything tends to have so much purpose in all the actions that i take within my head. how about when i talk to my friends? does it reach that kind of pinnacle or climactic climax? i think i tend to not say nearly as much to them as i do to myself. on one hand, this might be an issue that i should be noticing about myself and attempting to change. on the other, i find it to be rather intimate and realistic. i find it reassuring to think that i know what to use as stimulating conversation for my brain on a regular basis. it is almost as if i am doing a current update on my computer, for example. keeping up with all the latest updates as to what to interpret as the world around me, and what i can consider worthy enough as recognized memory.
third: i was just listening to my friend's cd, and i had to give some major appreciation for the work. if you've ever listened to jeremy from boise's "it's called finishing", then you will know what i'm talking about. i remember when this album came out and i saw jeremy play some shows around that same time...and the music was incredible. this album is incredible. i also highly recommend his other projects (along with his amazing and very talented son) playing in these bands as well: moto photos and monster dudes. absolutely fantastic!

i suppose it is time for me to do something a bit more motivating. time to get back into reading a book! have a great day, everyone!
