Anniversary

Hopefully you don't mind all the music I've been posting. Not too many new thoughts, just enjoying the sounds. Here's a blast from the past: The Anniversary. Saw them a bunch when I was in high school. Really struck my heart strings back then. And now too, I guess. Hopefully you have access to this, if not I recommend signing up for an Imeem account. Damn. "D in Detroit" is my jam. All of these tracks are good. And what about that breakdown in "Perfectly"?

Designing A Nervous Breakdown
Lately I've been listening to the radio, especially the local "alternative" music station. I've been hearing stuff like old Pearl Jam and Nirvana. Stuff like that brings me back to when I was around 13 years old and starting to carve an identity for myself. Finding music, experimenting with what I was wearing (as lame as that sounds it was part of my evolving identity and a way to press my limits, etc). Skateboarding. Trying new things. I feel like that was the purest time in my life. It was hard, no doubt; confusing. But damn if I didn't learn so much about myself and the world, open new doors and all that. At the same time, I didn't have much of a care in the world. It's always fun to re-live good times.
