I'm a new home owner and a Jacksonville, Florida (of all places?) citizen. I've spent the last two weeks with my fiance doing a DIY-ish renovation like you see on those terrible TV shows (which I shamelessly love). What they don't show you on those shows is the literal seventh layer of hell you plunge yourself head first into. This is why everyone you meet who works in construction is an alcoholic.

If you know me, you know I love me some aliens. I've watched the Ancient Aliens series probably 4 times through, it's really more of an obsession which stemmed from a terrible fear of aliens as a child. Maybe I'm subconsciously studying my enemy? Regardless I've started to re-watch all the X-Files episodes, and I'm always haunted by that "The Truth is Out There" poster Mulder has. This got me thinking.. there's no doubt in our lifetime's we'll discover some sort of alien existence -- at which point I'll have this golden one liner ready... "the truth really was out there..."

The beginning of this track reminded me of some work by William Basinski titled The Disintegration Loops. These loops are truly haunting and almost tough to listen too because of their dark beauty. You hear the music literally destroy itself, as if it's being burned instead of played, ashes drifting into the wind.

Cruising Soundcloud's song recommendations can be so rewarding. Take The Yacolt Burn for instance, 24 followers on Soundcloud... Listen to this track, this guy kills it and only 24 people want to hear more music from them?? Well I for one will jump on board and be the 25th...... ....and my axe.

Who cares that this is James Mercer pre Shins. The only thing that matters is that it sounds like 1997 in the form of musical waves. Just close your eyes and remember entering high school in northwest Georgia. A cute but late blooming kid. Don't worry, you'll have your time in the sun, and the girls will soon be chasing you.

You know it's time to switch up your job when every little thing annoys the absolute shit out of you. How about this for a scenario... someone asks you if something should be a certain way, instead of just asking you to do it. Fucking man up and make a decision! "Should it be red?".... I dunno, do you want to see it red you fucking fuck tard?!

Sober Cinco de Mayo.. if you told me I would be sober for a Cinco de Mayo cinco years ago I would have slapped you in the face and called you a bold face liar --and then apologized. I'm not some asshole sober crusader telling you how to live your life, just some dude who's grown to really enjoy living life unfiltered.
It's funny how a few short years can turn you into the exact anti-thesis of your previous self. This notion becomes even more pronounced in my life as I write this new version of left as rain. I go through old posts and almost cringe reading some of the shit I used to write but hold off from hitting the delete post button. It's good having those reminders around about where we used to be so we can see how far we've come. I guess that's why I still have my high school year book, which constantly reminds me its not okay to wear candy jewelry with your bleached spikey hair coming out of a Thundercats visor... ever.
