Must spend more time thinking, or at least more time recording thoughts. Thoughts flit in
and out of my brain like butterflies, and a notepad shall be my net. I'm convinced (either
because I think I'm right, or want to to make myself feel good) that I do have tons of ideas
worth writing down, and 99.44% of them float away into the cosmos. I've really got to set some time
aside to write, too. Maybe in five years, once it's no longer relevant.
So I sometimes like to call myself a student of modern trash pop culture. It doesn't necessarily
have to be trashy, I guess, but most pop culture seems to be. Also a student of the modern world
at large; a halfhearted zeitgeist chaser, if you will. I feel sometimes like I should have a firmer
grasp on the influences of all this stuff, like, I don't know, read more old books, watch more old
movies, old old old. But I'm a child of this ritalin nation, and I get bored of them too easily.
Too obtuse to get through, or just too dull.

all you who actually read this drivel;
don't read too much into the song of the day
listening to [change]
makes me happy, think of good times in high school
and sad, thinking of things that've been lost
and glad, thinking of things that are to come
I miss ya, G.
