Not much to report, but I wanted to let you guys know I’m still here and thinking about the blog!
I’m still drastically unmotivated and sick of work, but slightly better than I was a few days ago. Everyone seemed to notice that I wasn’t my normal self, I’m still not, but I’m better for sure.
I’ve already decided that if I decide not to go to university in September, I’ll go travelling or have a very long holiday. That’s something for me to aim for and look forward to, somewhat. I have a few places in mind, and it all depends on how much money I save up. South of France, West USA, Alaska, Canada, Russia, Japan… They’re all places that I want to visit at some point, or have visited and like the life there.
I’ve been quite ill lately too, I had to take 2 days off of work, stayed in bed for over 17 hours on one of the days and watched Gran Torino. What a fantastic movie, one of my favourites. I am man enough to admit that I actually cried towards the end, although the catalyst for this was certainly my illness, and mood.
I’ve also been listening to A LOT of Between The Buried and Me lately (I ordered the albums “Colors” and “Alaska” from Amazon a week or two ago), and it’s ground breaking stuff. It’s beautiful, every genre that they incorporate, every riff, every vocal technique… Is for purpose, it puts forward emotion and the mood of the piece. It tells complex stories, with very metaphorical and deep lyrics in some cases. They are all true role models to musicians who are growing and improving.
Lastly, I received an anonymous card for Valentine’s Day. It’s bugging me because I don’t know, firstly, if it’s serious or not, and secondly, who it is, so unfortunately it’s achieved very little, but there’s a part of me that wants to believe that it’s real, and in the case that someone actually thinks of me in that way, I feel a bit better about my life. I just wish I knew who it was. Ah well.
PS: Some more, decent blog posts soon! I promise!
