release.
it has been ten days or so from my last "blog" that really wasn't a blog at all, but when you can't put thoughts down, when i can't put thoughts down, i might as well put something harmless up so i don't forget i have this blog.
but maybe that is an exaggeration. i really don't forget i have this space to vent even when i neglect it.

i'm listening to the molo session of "long road" right now, realizing that the three pearl jam songs vedder recorded with the south african choir are probably the best versions of those songs.
it's sometimes is odd to me when my favorite songs by a band are not done by the band.

"that's my place to get away"
i just realized, reading through my texts, how similar we are.
not in a creepy romantic way or anything, and in all honesty i didn't think so when you told me you thought so. but every time, over the past few months, i have got a text or message from you, i have thought about it.
it's an odd thing to realize, but i am not sure why.

why do people watch wrestling?

i am reading a book (fictionalized-but historically accurate) on the last decade (or so) of charles dickens's life. it's told from the standpoint of william collins (moonstone), a close friend of dickens, and it really examines a spiraling obsession and how it effected the genius author.
it is one of those thought provoking novels. every time i read a novel or book (non-fiction), or even see a documentary on someone who had an unmatched intelligence, it always hints that the person was not quite right.
that as they grew, or became more popular, or whatever they sort of went insane.
there are theories on this for shakespeare, da vinci, einstein, dickens...
it's just sort of worrisome that so many of the greatest minds the world will ever know were somewhat insane.
but at the same time, it makes me realize that one cannot label, or define, "normal".
---
i really want to write a parody of a brother's grimm fairy tale. i don't know which one i would pick, but thinking about it, i really think it would be "little red riding hood".
i think that is probably the most interesting to reinterpret.
---
friendships are really bizzare to me.
if only because i never understand them.
---
i think that's good for today.
