Alllright. Here's the thing about the essays. I'll get them done.

I'll get everything done, I just need to stop stressing over it =/


Besides my life, something to think about. I was reading this journal on last.fm. Since I know most of you aren't going to read it, I'll highlight some her comments and the comments on the journal (being as un-biased as possible).

From her journal called Am I Cheating The "Scene"

"Plenty of my extremely musically oriented friends think that the key to finding music is by getting involved in the scene that your music like orbits, and sort of immerse yourself."

"These long time kids with extensive and esoteric musical tastes believe that the indie scene is such a fad that it will cease to be. Everything indie once was about is no longer what indie is about. Indie doesn't get radio time, and indie doesn't get signed."

"There is no intrigue to these indie kids anymore, and they're slowly losing their habitat to greedy corporate america, and the army of stupid brainwashed kids that follow them."


Alright, well, I'm too lazy to post some of the comments (there were 60+). Most people agreed with her, and some of them mostly agreed with her.


And here's my opinion, which sort of strays from what she was talking about

Yes, it's a good thing, and something we need to do, but it drives me up a wall when I see those bags that say crap like "this bag saves trees". Because it's actually something WE NEED TO DO, and if you're going to do it, do it because it's a good fucking idea, and not because the popular girls have those bags, and you want to be popular. Too bad killing yourself isn't in style.

Aside from that, I've resolved to like whatever the hell I like, and to fuck with you if you have a problem with that. Yes, I like Conor Oberst and the Decemberists. If I find good music because it's popular, then good for me. I'm like one of those door-to-door people when it comes to bright eyes ("You've never heard of conor ob... ]]> =aestheticirony http://aestheticirony.deviantart.com/journal/19977897/ http://aestheticirony.deviantart.com/journal/19977897/ Fri, 15 Aug 2008 20:57:29 PDT Deviant =aestheticirony | "i need you like water in my lungs. ♥"
