Rockin' in the Free World, in Two Days

I'm starting to get really excited about some concerts this summer. Lez Zeppelin will of course be around a few times, but then Pearl Jam, Slayer, the Red Hot Chili Peppers (though that's not til October) and of course Ozzfest (it's Ozzy's last hurrah, can't miss that yo). Plus, I found what appears to be a decent Maiden coverband from New York that I am gonna try to get to this summer. Well, we'll see how it all pans out, but I am optimistic that good things like this will work out and help me get beyond all of the junk going on right now.

Also, I'd like to get back into guitar a bit once classes are done. This is another reason I am looking forward to summer. Though my lab responsibilities will surely increase, I won't have to deal with the dichotomy of class and lab. Having both at the same time kinda messes up day-to-day routines, as each one distracts me from the other, as well as from any other hobbies, so I run away from both and dick around online or with the TV.

I never thought I'd be saying this, but I am actually looking forward to the "routine." I once wrote (not on live journal) a long tirade about how routine was the devil. I would still agree with my former contemplations that when we become too used to how things are, or even when we become accustomed to those around us, we end up forgetting the value these things/people have in our lives. Phrases like "I love you" end up becoming just flaccid utterances that really are more of a security blanket than they are heartfelt. They become a far cry from the masterful puissance they once had. This is an inevitable result of routine.

But the way things are right now (discordant and unreliable), I have to welcome a more dependalbe lifestyle, one which I can grow into, almost "planning the spontaneity", or at least the deciding when to throw in a curve ball. The day-to-day stuff will productive and the rest will make the routine worth living. I really am not worried about my life turning into a monotone, where I get up, shower, shit, got to work, come home, eat, fuck and then go to sleep. For better or for worse, I am capricious, impulsive and impetuous. I don't know where some of these random desires go (or my superego telling me that I should be a little more status quo), but, hey, that's just me.

Finally, I don't have any real reason for tossing this in here, but I just really like this song (Angel Eyes) by Jerry Cantrell

Angel Eyes
Four years and still I dream
Agonize
Such beauty not since seen
Angel Eyes
Your face is all I see
Agonize
Forever haunting me



Peace bitches!
