can't stop comparing myself to people. wtf is up with that.
...and I'm more obsessed with max ernst than ever.
whenever i go through phases like this i do the following...
step 1: take everything out of your closet
step 2: lay out everything that is iffy and/or old
step 3: cut the sleeves off/ make it look new
step 4: voila! a new wardrobe on a college student's financial diet
need some foods pretty soon...

Do we ever change?
The Godspeed Lp Swimmer's Ear is unstoppable. The first song, "April", has a refrain that is particularly memorable. "Brick by brick I'll build this wall. Don't worry, you'll find me". I mean, can you really not think of a time in your life where this rang so very true for you? I find that this is my mantra for relationships of all sorts-I never am really the type to easily reveal myself or get excited. I am a cynic by all means, especially when it comes to the human species. I am more likely to find your faults before your purities, and I am more likely to judge you so severely on the first that it is impossible for me to think any other way. This is not healthy. I am perfectly aware. But that's not the point. The point is this-you know the mark of a solid musician when the lyrics remind you so vividly of something in particular, and the lyricist doesn't even know you, nor will ever know you.
I think something that attracted me to hardcore was that it felt like most of the words related to a certain part of my life without ever having any coherent connection to me. Most of the music I listen to I feel has resonated within me and shaped my outlook in some way. I mean, this is the case with most of the literature and friends I surround myself with. You are a victim of what is around you. There is no argument against the fact that you are what/who you like.
Lately I have been feeling this great gap between myself and the outside world. I stopped caring about impressions and outward beauty. Instead, lately I have been focusing on what feels good for me at the moment and what is attractive to me. In a sense this philosophy, when innately recognized, is called "self-centeredness" but in reality this is just something that every person should save time for-the self. This may seem like a wandering far from normalcy for me but it isn't. I recently came to the conclusion that no one is going to help me, no person or being or anything imaginable, is ever going to help me become anything. But none of that matters, all I need is me...for the most part.
"As on a heap of rubbish cast upon the highway the lily will grow full of sweet perfume and delight..."
-The Dhammapada on Flowers
With that, I give you Godspeed's Swimmer's Ear.
