my dad had surgery done on his left shoulder today. as of right now, he's pretty out of it. i'm currently at the house getting him some supplies for his stay at his mothers. i'm going to keep this a short one for now and also letting you all know that i might not be posting for a few days. hopefully i can find a moment or so to post tomorrow and the next day, but i'm not promising anything right now. i gotta stay close to my dad and help him out. i picked up the book, The Old Breed, written by Eugene Sledge. it's his memoir on the marine battles at pelieu and okinawa during WWII in the pacific. it's part of the basis to the HBO series, The Pacific. the book is arguably one of the best books written about combat. it details the point of view coming from an infantry man and not the upper command. let's see how it goes shall we???
okay, for the music it's a split. first is the wonderful split album by the 90's emo bands, Boys Life and Christie Front Drive. the song, "valentine" by CFD is elegant and perhaps their best song ever. the second album is the split by 90's emo bands, Texas is the Reason and The Promise Ring. the song, "blue boy" is my favorite track on the split. it's by TITR. sssssoooooooo, with that enjoy these quick little splits and keep on truckin'...
static thoughts and crazy words. i have time to write and i also have an early start. i actually woke up at a good time today because i went to bed at a good time last night!!! that never happens to me!!!
well yesterday i went with my cousin and step brother to see the movie Zombie Land. it was really funny and not stupid at all. there is a special cameo that i won't talk about here, but let's just say you won't be dissapointed by it. it made me laugh so hard that i think i almost started crying which hasn't happened in a long time. ha ha
jeff and micco crack me up
well goin' back to the thurday night show with The Get Up Kids, i remember hearing a song played between sets. it was a little lo-fi and indie, but also twinkly. it had that sound i have come to recognize now. to describe that sound you need to listen to a lot of 90's emo music. just sayin'... anyway i went home that night and started to dig through my music to see if i had this artist. i guessed on a certain band and after listening to their entire discography i found the song. i was right on my guess. the band is called Boy's Life.
i have their two full length albums here. first is their self titled debut and then the amazing lp called Depatures and Landfalls. oh, and the song i was lookin' for is called "radio towers" and the song "fire engine red" is also very good. heck, all their freekin' songs are amazing!!! why can't music be this good and have this much meaning to it anymore...
