Went on a download rampage yesterday, and am gonna do the same today. It's great that Youtube has the HQ option. The videos I had before this happened were pretty shitty quality. So yeah, I'm grateful.

Been listening to Tool and A Perfect Circle again. Maynard is fucking inspiring. His voice is just so... I dunno how to express it. And Tool... well, there's really no need of any explanation. Brilliant project. Though I kinda felt let down by 10,000 Days. Some of the lyrics were a tad too spiritual for my tastes.

My music taste is pretty weird. If I have to set my tastes on a specific genre, it would have to be Punk. I've dabbled in that genre most of my young life (I was a huge Blink182 fan), and now it all comes down to Old School. Sure I still go back to the old 182 times now and then, but they just can't compete with old school anymore. The Ramones, The Sex Pistols, The Clash, Screaming Dead and The Misfits are now my current playlist dominators. Others in the genre include bands like Rancid, Black Flag, Bad Religion, Alk3 and a few others. You could say I grew tired of all the pop-punk trash they were letting out. Even Greenday lost their rhythm. Their new album disgusts me. The whole "Rock Opera" thing was bearable, but this is just plain garbage! Meh, oh well.

A friend of mine introduced me to Tool and APC back in 2004. My marijuana days. Fuck, I'll never forget the first time I laid ears to Lateralus (the album). Turned my whole world upside down. After that, Tool, APC, Deftones, Nine Inch Nails, Smashing Pumpkins, and a whole list of other bands/genres took over my life. And the love of my life came along last year and introduced me to Mogwai, Inkubus Sukkubus, The Birthday Massacre, Android Lust and a lot of other bands I never even knew existed.

If I have to set constant favorites, it would have to be Nirvana, Pink Floyd, Alice in Chains, and RHCP. These bands will always have a special place in my playlist. Especially Cobain and Kiedis. Respect.

So yeah, my music journey hasn't been quite as awesome as others, but I still think the ride was worthwhile. Still a long journey ahead, so need to brace myself.

Wrote a song for her a few nights back. Probably the only song I've ever written that's not vague lol. Pretty damn proud of it though, since this is probably the first real song I've written, with a lot of chords and progression changes.

Million Miles Away

This time I'll let myself be real
'Cause it makes it easy for you to see
That I do care about your fate
And I can be the one you need

I understand the reasons
Why you say you don't wanna take your chance
And I respect your wishes
Just because I care...

The promises go on their way
So please feel free to smile
I just hope you're now happy
A million miles away...

I just hope you stay safe from harm
'Cause you know how much I worry
Don't fill your head with tension 'bout me
'Cause you don't need to be

You'll see
'Cause I love you
And you know I'd do anything for you
I need you to free yourself
Of this hell we both despise...

The promises go on their way
So please feel free to smile
I just hope you're now happy
A million miles away...

Don't really care what people think about this one, 'cause I wrote it for her.

My spirits aren't as low today as they were in the last posts. I guess I'm just tired of feeling depressed all the time. Had a bad migraine attack last night. I seriously need glasses. Or at least contacts lol. Maybe red ones... like demon eyes. That would kick ass lol :P
