I actually do remember what I was talking about. The random mix CD's that I found the other day. I just feel like talking about those because, tomorrow is the one year mark that I last saw her. I really don't care about her anymore, but this CD brought her memory back to mind. I advise you, anyone that had a bad past relationship, don't forget it. The best we can do is embrace our memories and experiences. Those who try to block it out will be doomed to repeat themselves. That's why I'm not afraid to deal with the thought of her anymore.
For most people that know me, they know the story about what happened between me and Kyle in 2008. Not a good story, and there was no Hollywood Ending. She gave me something when I was up there, tow mix CD's. I had listened to them once, and then never again. I remember actually finding one in Dec '08, and flinging the CD across the room and hitting my Foo Fighter poster and actually leaving a mark in the poster. That's where it remained until the other night.
I was straightening up my room when I came across one of the mix CD's. Instead of getting rid of the CD I looked at it and was like, what the hell, it can't hurt me. Looked at the track listing she had gave me, I noticed something very strange. The list of 4 bands that I have since started listening to. Those bands are, Rise Against, Strike Anywhere, Riverboat Gamblers, and Sum 41. I have since started listening to all of those bands since 2008. All on my own too. I knew who Rise Against from the radio and that's what got me into them, I noticed "The Good Left Undone" in what was The Edge 103.9. Then "Prayer of the Refugee" and downloaded some of their songs and became addicted. It creeped the hell out of me seeing those bands on that track listing. The fact that I'm evolving my music taste more, and more like her every day. Totally subliminally too. She's not to blame for my taste in music. I am. Maybe she saw too much of her self in me, and that was another thing. I'll never know.
That was my weird-out for the month. It was a interesting one to say the least.
On the note of my band search. I am getting closer, and closer to finding a band. I've kind of slowed my looking, but still have my eye out. I was going to go check out a band jamming tonight, but I have to be up early in the morning and had some other stuff to do. I'll figure out when they're available again so I can go down there. They were looking someone 18-28. I have no idea what their ages are, but I'll take it. Looking to do a melodic hardcore punk project, but I'll take a straight forward rock project too. I think these guys might wind up more and more like a cross between maybe Buckcherry, and Rise Against if I join. Their influences were out there, not exactly what I was looking for.
Lets talk sports for a second.
I am a huge baseball fan, particular the National League. They finally won an all star game. I literally do not remember the last time the senior circuit won the game. Last time they won was in 1996 in Colorado. I do NOT remember that. I went to my first baseball game in 1995, a Mets Phillies game at Shea Stadium. I was 6 years old. I'm not 20. That a long time. We could also talk about the death of "The Boss" George Steinbrener. In a way I believe he destroyed baseball and made the payroll almost more important than what is going on on the field. It's sad for Yankee fans, and I cannot say anything bad about George. I just don't like teh Yanks. Anyways.
I'm done for tonight. I have an early class tomorrow.-SS
