Check it out, a livejournal update! For all two people who subscribed to this!
I'm bouncing back and forth about Katie at work. It seems to go like this: after work I start thinking, "You know, Katie is really cute, she would be fun to go out with, I should give it a try." Then I wake up in the morning, I'm grumpy, the nerves start jittering, and I'm like "Why the hell am I doing this to myself, she's just a girl." See I imagine we'd go out on dates and have a great time and she'd like all the stuff I like and life would be peachy. But why the hell would Katie like Story of the Year, none of my friends even like Story of the Year, and they're all pretty cool guys. But then how do I find out, isn't that the point of a date, to get to know someone and either fall in love or dump their ass to the curb? And my brain just keeps going on like that day after day. I don't know if I'm just nervous and making excuses, or if society is totally overblowing the importantness of finding someone and I really don't feel like I need that right now. It's insane. Right now I'm of the opinion that I should go for it, I guarantee that will change at least twice by monday. Then I think what's the rush, no need to dive in and blow it, take your time. But then my brain responds with, every day I spend around her and don't do anything is pushing her farther away, making her think less of me (if she ever thinks of me at all), increasing the chances she'll find someone else.
OK now that everyone's stopped reading, I'll go into some more interesting rants. I promised Gary a rant on Matchstick Men, but I really don't see how I can do that without ruining the movie. I'll just say this: awesome movie, fuckin crazy plot twist, but the ending leaves much to be desired (but on the plus side they did do an ending I didn't expect, not enough movies pull that). We also watched American Wedding, which was as bad as the commercials led me to believe, but I have to admit I can't watch Stifler and not laugh. Asshole.
Now let's talk about incubus for a moment. Incubus is a really cool (cali) band (why are all the good bands from cali?). I just got their new album and it's pretty cool. But I have to say, it's no comparison to the old Incubus. I'm talking about SCIENCE. That album ranks up there with my all time favorites. A Certain Shade of Green, New Skin, Nebula... fucking crazy off the wall songs! I used to love to crank my speakers way up and listen to Calgone. The new stuff, while still good, just seems so much tamer and less interesting compared to those songs.
I'm not at all saying new Incubus is bad, I'm not accusing them of selling out or anything like that. I think it's great when a band has some diversity, there's nothing worse than a band putting out the same damn album every year for 5 years. Bands like Weezer, the Deftones, and Korn have totally lost my interest by putting out the same damn songs with different lyrics (although Korn recently regained much respect with their new album). I guess the point I'm trying to make is: SCIENCE is an awesome album, buy it/burn it/steal it/love it. Thanks.
I don't intend to make these live journal updates a regular thing, I still like my Xanga. But they're broken so I'm just writing my thoughts out here so I can copy them over later. To keep up to date on all the voices in my head, read my Xanga journal
