I haven’t been this excited for a movie since…….
Something recent, I dunno.
The book made me tear up when I read it.
I’m STILL a wallflower inside, I just learned to overcompensate by being off the wall and loud and rowdy.
I’m not even sure what my real personality is anymore.
Anyways, CAN’T WAIT FOR THIS.
That Lana Del Ray record is better than you remember……

Happy Birthday Marilyn Monroe

I watched Breakfast Club twice a couple days ago.
Literally, back to back.
Welcome to my life……

No Doubt - Excuse Me Mr.
Over the past 2 weeks, this song has been the first thing on my mind when I wake up.
Not every single morning, but most of them.
I haven’t heard it in awhile.
I’m not sure why either.
Its a great song.
Side note: How was I able to be obsessed with No Doubt when, as a general rule, I think ska sucks? Gwen CAN’T be the only reason.
Nostalgia
So I was listening to this while I was driving to work on a property, and jamming out hard. It also set off this thought in my head.
Do I actually like this song or does it just remind me of better times?
Now there are tons and tons of MUCH better writers who have tackled this subject. I’m an idiot rapper (Alexludovico.net for all my music. Couldn’t stop from promo!) but I think I’ve come to a good place with my nostalgia problem.
And YES, it is a problem in some aspects. I don’t ever want to be one of those “music was better in MY day” kind of adults. Nostalgia is literally a Greek word for a type of pain. Living in ATL, I often spend a lot of days LONGING for my wild nights in Chicago. I miss my friends, I miss the scene, I miss all of it. Music from that time period of my life makes me so happy, yet so sad. And don’t even get me started on late 90s rock. Hearing No Doubt immediately sets my mind back to family trips to Alabama and day camp. I long for the days that I just….did nothing of consequence. Very few of my day to day decisions back then remotely affected anything currently happening in my life. As an adult, every single thing I do, I have to FORCE myself to think about it long-term. I HATE LONG TERM. My whole existence is based on being random. I’m not allowed to be random anymore, when I’m trying to buy a house and figure out what the taxes are going to cost me. Somedays, I wake up here, and I am the textbook definition of miserable. Yet, I know that there’s an end game to everything I’m doing here. So, for the time being, I put off the pain of nostalgia. I know I’ll achieve everything I set out to do.
So, back to the music. This Nelly Furtado song is a classic, fer shure. So I can cross this off the “improved over time” list. But I know, when I listen to those Limp Bizkit records and I get excited, it has nothing to do with the music. It has everything to do with the time period in which I heard those songs. So, if my windows are down and you see me screaming about doing everything in pursuit of the nookie, don’t mock me. Just know I’m remembering my childhood.

Off an EP that will be released very soon, although I haven’t settled on a title yet.
