so my friend's screen door was set to be open for all the people going in and out. i tried to close it, out of habit, and i tore my ankle up. so much pain right now.
im shy around people i dont know (read: cover my *** and act polite and normal until i size them up on what they're like) otherwise im secretly an attention *** who plays coy at first until people coax me enough and i decide its time to take the plunge and be the center of attention. then i can light up a room pretty well if the situation is right.
i've taught myself how to keep from diverting conversations to be about me all the time though. though i'm pretty paranoid about appearing self-centered... thats actually part of the reason i usually act shy at first...
I've always wanted a record player myself. I have a mint condish Sabbath Bloody Sabbath album that I got for my birthday a few years ago that I would love to slap on a turntable.
Something about vinyl is timeless.
It has it's own sense of identity and charm with the grainy processes of recording left in, the imperfections retaining within the album giving it full character as opposed to an essentially "photoshopped" version of the artist's work via editing and processing on CD copies.
That's what I hear. Sure, the digitized music nowadays sounds clear, but it doesn't have that distinct character that is recognizable via vinyl. Plus, the album is pretty much extinct as well. Hardly anyone buys an album and enjoys every song from beginning to end like they used to. Now it's just emphasis on the favorite song. I tend to be guilty in that regard on occasion, but I do love albums, and to this day still buy the CD over the MP3 any day of the week. Such is the case of "The Hunter" by Mastodon. Every song on there blows me away and the sequence of them makes it an experience.
Alas, I'm digressing at this point. What I'm getting at is that the digital age has changed the way we listen to music. Maybe for the better, maybe for the worse. But this guy does wish we could go back in time on occasion.

Glad I'm not the only one that sees things that way.
Making albums seems to have become a lost art as of late. I've always seen them as a singular piece of artist interpretation not necessarily pertaining specifically to a singular concept, but rather creative and intelligent perspective for whatever that artist collectively conjured up at the time.
The possibilities of projection are virtually limitless with what can be created musically and also artistically with the album art and even the manner in which it's presented from it's package. A good example of that would be Tool's 10,000 days album with the built in spyglass for the art booklet making images which would otherwise be odd or obscure come alive and hold this vague sense of telling a story.
But unfortunately, modernized methods of perfecting recording quality is one thing, but with digital distribution mediums taking over the need for physical objects of media tend to favor the concept of making singles repeatedly rather than whole packages which tend to better retain an idea or process of imagination more so than a single song ever can. Sad times these are.
Debating whether I should cook either pulled pork grilled cheese sandwiches with caramelized onions or bacon cheeseburgers tomorrow.
Triple post, FCK YEAH!
Pretty sure I've finally got the whole nostalgia thing out of my head by now. I'll be more than happy to get with the times and break the 75 cap and get all the neat new ***out there now. But I'm still likely to do all the old content despite how useless and unrewarding it'd be for me at that level; but as they say: It's the journey, not the destination that is the reward.
It looks like your mithra passed out after a long night of bingeing on catnip, milk and vodka, and cat treats... or cookies. Those kinda look like cookies.
If I drugged food I'd be on the floor right next to ya :(
See, that's why I'd be a terrible bond villain, or minion, because I'd have to poison a drink or something, then i'd totally forget which one I poisoned, and end up drinking it myself :(
Leveling my mule under the thin guise that I'm going to use it to do double dynamis everyday. I say thin guise, because except on weekends... probably never going to have the time to do double dynami.
This is a thread that I found on another website I post at. It can be really really interesting. I thought it deserved a place here.
Post your random thoughts for the day here, or anything else that intrigues you.
For starters, is it possible to give constructive critism to someone who doesn't have a neck? I totally just walked by a girl who didn't. Someone isn't getting a necklace for Valentines day!
And who decided black and white can't be colors? I want to say a racist. I really do.
