Well, it has been a while since I updated, and since I deleted all my old blogs for reasons to be explained, I' figured I might as well update properly. So. Last few months have been interesting to say the least. I'll stay with the big things.
In March, my girlfriend, Alex, and I decided to go our seperate ways. I will not go into it. I never want to talk to, about, with, or near her ever again. That is all. Do not say to me "DO YOU MISS HER?" because you are no doubt ignorant to the true nature of said relationship, and I will be forced to yell at you, increasing the risk of our friendship becoming strained and I've already had to sever enough ties for one year.
Ahem. My current band(s) is/are going great. Aeternitas are currently taking a few months off while we record (EP is being recorded in May, should be out WITHIN 6 months). We will return to the live front in July, with a whole new set list, opening for some bands we truly respect and admire. My secondary band, Grinding Teeth Like Gears, has just started closing in together. A full lineup is almost complete, and the first demo is up. Please feel free to add and/or listen to them at;
Now, what else to say... I've begun collecting vinyl records. I'm not sure why, but I think it's more the nature of owning a proper "collection." CDs are great, but they don't exactly increase in value, and neither do they look all that cool when you're showing off. So yes, in essence, I'm a complete wanker, but hey, at least my vinyl collection is awesome. INDEED.
I have begun work at Target. I'm doing casual hours. Registers are no where near as bad as people will have you believe and so far only 3 people have died (I'm kidding. They lived... I think). Floor work is as dull as a lecture on the history of lint but at least you don't have to really do much. Money is money, as they say.
I've begun to realise how much humans truly do suck though. Like, humans have always sucked, but now it's just getting to a point where even Jesus, in all his compassion and forgiveness would turn around and say "Ok, look, seriously, if you do that again, I'm turning this car around."
What compels us to be such total fuckwits? Why do we have this overwhelming urge to draw attention to ourselves and then complain when we're the centre of attention? Why do we use flimsy excuses to worm our way out of responsibility? Why do we lie when the backs of those who took care of us are turned? Why am I just as bad and still complaining?
We all see the world in tinted glasses. But fuck the view can be boring.
