My blood would run dry if music were not around. I actually think that if instruments and singing had never been figured out, we wouldn't be here. People say a lot "I couldn't live without music", I would never say "Yes, you could", but I really don't think I could. Music has saved my life, music is the reason I'm alive. I, at every point during the day am thinking about music. How I want to write really great songs. How I want to find the best music in the world, and honestly, I think I have. But there will always be something new to discover. And the way that I discover new music (and old music), I hope that whenever I get around to putting my music out into the world, that someone finds it, and it has that same affect on them, that other peoples music has had on me, even if it's just one person.
The music you listen to is the soundtrack to your life. I really believe that. I'll hear a song and think "How great would it be if my future Wife walked down the isle to this song", or "I really want this song played at my funeral", or "When I propose to a Girl I'm going to play this song for her". There's gettin' drunk songs, there's makin' love songs, there's fightin' songs, and so on.
Sometimes if we close our eyes and open our ears we find what we've been looking for.

ME.
I've been thinking about myself a lot lately. Not in a vein way, but in a reflective way. Trying to examine my character and look for ways to be a better man. I have a lot of obstacles in the way of feeling proud of myself. But there is joy, regardless. One thing I've noticed is I am the least patient person in the world. I hide this well. I've even been mistaken as a patient person from time to time. Truth is, I hating waiting for anything that is good. I can barely wait to see what's at the other end of my life (NO, I'm not suicidal, been there, done that). The thing is, is that I, while not patient, am very good at hiding that fact from others, and myself. When something is going on with a friend and they can't wait for whatever information it is that they're waiting on, I just say "relax, nothing is going to change if, good or bad, you knew right now". I'm no "Guru", I just fake it. Pretending to have great advise is a good way to figure out how much you actually know. I think that's what a lot of people do to an extent because if not, why is it that so many people give good advise and make poor life choices? Ding, Ding, Ding...Oliver is the winner here! But in between faking it and learning from my inevitable mistakes made from not taking my own fake advise, somewhere down the line my advise will be considered sage, and there will be some validity to it.
Does this make sense? I ask any random stranger who might read this to comment on it and tell me if you're the same way.
(This blog went somewhere I did not intend for it to go)

I don't wanna work. I just wanna sleep in my bed all day!!!!
Not really. But maybe more than I did last night. The Wire is keeping me up later than I should be up. Going to bed wasn't too hard when I waited until.......wait for it.....wait for it.......ONE O'CLOCK!!!! ;)
Lots of things to do today. balance check book, check on how I get my driver's license back, pay rent....Oh and work. Duh!
I had the craziest dream last night.
I decided this morning, very suddenly, that I was going to try and quit tobacco today....If I seem like a little asshole by the time 5 rolls around...you'll know why.
