I am understanding this right. No matter how much I listen to this thing I am probably never gonna be happy. I just want to finish it completely so I don’t HAVE to listen to it anymore.

You guys, however, get to listen to it all the time. Enjoy. It’s good, I just hate hearing MYSELF.

Not Attractive like, “I would have sex with this lady,” but attractive like, “I would have HAD sex with this lady…when she was my age. Of course, that would have thrown things off because I wouldn’t have been born yet. The math is off…but she’s still cool as hell…

One of my longest if not the longest one of my life. It is a weird cycle that I fall into when this happens. I don’t know if anyone has actually paid attention, but I haven’t written a new song in two years. I haven’t updated my webpage in a really long time as well. I am learning things about myself during this time though. I have felt drunk for almost this whole time. My head gets cloudy when I don’t write and I start forgetting everything which makes me appear rather flaky…

I get depressed and feel like everything I write is worthless. That’s a bad place to put yourself. I’m in a good mood today.

Because what goes around comes around. I don’t mean Karma. I don’t mean that what you do negatively to the universe is going to have to balance itself out. I mean that when you treat people a certain way, it eventually comes back around to you. Sometimes you ruin inroads you could have had. Sometimes you fully traumatize a situation so irreparably that you can’t go back.

I had someone find my blog when they searched for “You can’t step in the same stream Twice.” That phrase wasn’t actually anywhere in the blog entry that they ended up reading, though, which made me laugh a little. Anyway, that phrase is a philosophical thought first posed by a classical philosopher named Hericlitus: it refers to the idea that the water is moving and so even though you may step in the stream bed, you can’t step in the stream itself again.

That makes me wonder about stepping into old relationships. Allow me to give you a hypothetical example:

Hypothetically, I’m in love with a girl and have been for a long time. Hypothetically, this is someone that I already destroyed an even longer time ago. Hypothetically, I know I’m in love because I over-analyze everything and came to realize that she was a litmus test I’d been using against other girls. Hypothetically, she’s been to hell and back in relationships since then. Hypothetically, sometimes I’m very worried that given a second chance, this whole thing would blow up in my face this time.

Hypothetical enough? Good. My point being I can step into that relationship again, but the girl that was in love with me so long ago may have already moved down the river. Maybe she just doesn’t know it.
