you're over there when i need you here - 2003-10-09
Indian summer, but my feet are cold. Roy Orbison - Crying I like to think I am a strong individual, and all the negative forms of art and expression I surround myself with don't bring me down at all. But then I question what seeps into my subconcious; I am not sure if I can afford good enough emotional weather stripping to keep sadness and depression out of my crawlspaces. But then I think to my beliefs on negativity in art. Most of it is cathartic, it is expression in an honest form. A certain song can have the saddest lyrics, but you just know the artist felt better after writing it... So... shouldn't I feel better after having listened to it? I don't know, it's all about the contexts, really. It's a lottery; Red House Painters can make me giddy, whereas Aqua can make me sad... and not simply because it sucks arse. rusty - Misogyny I sometimes wonder if going to India is too big a step. I've barely seen a third of Canada, and maybe 1/104th of the United States. I have never set foot on an airplane, yet I will be flying for close to 24 hours. My original and eternal dream will be to drive across the nation. It will be like those sitcoms, where they show a map of the U.S., and my party is a dinky car driving across the red lines and blue blotches. Maybe someone will say 'we forgot grandpa at the Shoney's!'. Cue skidding sound, and reversal. The Catherine Wheel - Crank Gotta love shoegazing. It's better than emo, you know, because it's spacier, more condusive to contemplation. I just want someone in the passenger seat. Someone who will put up with sleazy motels in the desert, and my bad mixed cds that skip over every manhole and railway. Someone who will stop at all ghost towns and listen to my Stage-Manager-from-Our Town monologues about beautiful sadness. Someone who can count the pennies in the ashtray, see if there's enough for coffee. Someone who can appreciate the scars of the progress, yet still enjoy the- Sneaker Pimps - Post-Modern Sleaze I like The Gilmore Girls. You know why? Because no other show would have this line in it: "Come over, and bring music... but if it's Evanescence, you will be mocked."
