frustrated incorporated
guess i haven't been too talkative lately. hrm. well i tracked down a couple good songs i hadn't heard in years, one of them (from the title up there) Soul Asylum's Misery, and Ministry's Jesus Built My Hotrod. old school stuff that i used to love. i think i feel most comfortable listening to early-mid 90's grunge/postgrunge stuff. not like comfortable, like i'm comfortable talking to my doctor about my colon or something, but comfortable, like the feeling of sitting in a really great chair and sighing and closing your eyes. listening to Misery, strangely, as i was sitting at my desk, i just leaned back and smiled and listened to the song, more relaxed and at peace than i'd been in a while. listening to Blind Melon's No Rain or Pearl Jam's Black or The Meat Puppets or Toad The Wet Sprocket or Nirvana Unplugged... it just takes me back to a time when i was leaving the painful, confused, angry, bitter, lonely time in my life, and starting to meet the friends that'd become my closest to this day.
maybe that's why Purple and Weezer's blue album (about to be rereleased with a live DVD, sweeeet) mean so much to me too. that's the soundtrack to my life's restoration, when i changed courses and got acquainted with the Messiah and realized how, well, just GOOD life is. could be. can be. something.
geezle (remember that one? right up there with 'sike') this Visual Studio 2003 install is taking forever. goo.
