it's all happening

so i used to think that life had this awesome way of kicking you in the ass when you were down. 

i even have a binder full of angst ridden teenage poetry to prove it. 

but the older i get, though i'm still relatively a baby in the eyes of many, i think i've started to realize that you just have to suck it up and try, through all your bullshit, selfish pessimism, to see it from the other side. yes, there is another side. the world isn't flat, and the constant motion of everything around us allows us this intangible freedom to angle good vs. evil, clean vs. dirty, stylish vs. trendy, handsome vs. fugly, elderly vs. youthful, etc, in a way that works for the better rather than the worse. right?

so that's my goal for now anyway. it's not so much positivity or optimism as it is just trying to see both sides and angle the better side towards my benefit. hmm.

because really, it seems to me that there are moments in life where everything just comes together in a way that, while not perfect (nor necessarily intended), still gives you with the feeling that everything is as it should be. 

everything in its right place.

just a post-radiohead inspired thought.

anyway, earlimart pics from the free show at Amoeba on 7/8

(special special thanks to aaron espinoza for the fantastic hourlong orgasm).

when you see bands like earlimart playing free shows at independent record stores, you just have to stop and think that no matter how much shit is going down in our world right now, we would not exist without the good. and there is still good, you just have to get off your ass and find it. 

also, i continue with each passing day to forget to call my dear friend bryan back. maybe if i see this tomorrow i will remember before 

2 am.
