Update:

“Mural” is now officially my most listened to song ever. Not a crazy occasion, but it gets a post cuz fuck it (I’ve also mentioned it twice so I feel like that counts for something too).

     It feels weird to say: but I owe you something. At a time in my life when I felt I had such little control over my wellbeing, you truly made me feel better. I was 20, sharing a 3 person house with 4 other people, and yet I was feeling more lonely and isolated than I ever had before. Everyday felt like a battle, and while you may have contributed, yours were the only battles I knew I could win. To say I clung to that would be an understatement. At a time when I felt I was constantly walking on eggshells, you empowered me to walk freely. I think of the oft-uttered advice given to those at their lowest: “celebrate the small victories.” While yours may not have been the most memorable, they certainly did more than their fair share in keeping me going.       I remember calling my mom to voice my troubles with my ex (with whom I was still dating (and living with)). I had gotten off a work shift, and, knowing the emotional struggle I would soon encounter...

OTLRN 1 (INTRO)

I can't fucking do this anymore. It's simply too much. I just can't fucking do it. Everyday, I go out and I act as if everything I do is normal. The fuck? Nothing I do is remotely normal. I should be going out to beg people for help, to ask for their forgiveness, to reckon with person I've become. Every single fucking day my sincere belief that I am the antichrist grows. There's no other explanation. The devil doesn't make himself known. He hides. He gets people on his side, slowly corrupting them until they've sunk all the way down to his fiery domain. I can hardly look at myself. How am I any different? Every action I take, I slowly take society down with me. The intangible fabric that has sustained our globalized planet is being frayed, and I am driving its destruction. I am what's wrong with the world. Not the idiots, not the bigots, not the goddamn politicians. None of them could exist without me. I am evil personified—the snake in our waning garden...

My top 10 favorite songs (revisited (again))

Had the idea to do another one of these last night, and it turns out I made the last one exactly one year ago today. The list had definitely seen some major changes in the last year, but I won’t give anything away. Here’s the list: Honorable mentions: America - “Sister Golden Hair,” Gorillaz - “Rhinestone Eyes,” Blaze Foley - “No Goodwill Stores in Waikiki”  10. Simon & Garfunkel - “The Boxer” Not sure what really got me into this song, but I just cannot get over that tuba (or whatever it is). I don’t think I have too much more to say just a beautiful song.  9. Steely Dan - “Do It Again” This song reenters the list for the same reason it was on it in the first place: the groove. Also, I think the mythos of this song has just continued to grow on me over time; the more people I’ve listened to it with, the stronger its aura gets.  8. Joey Bada$$ - “Waves” This song stays in my top 10 because I just can’t get over how smooth it is. Surely I said something along the same ...
