Just found out my mom has inoperable cancer and months to live. The only thing she said after that was that God would make sure she gets to see other believers again, but she probably won't see me again. She's incapable of even the smallest bit of human empathy or vulnerability. How are you supposed to feel losing your parent when even in death they'd rather make a snide comment then just say "I love you"?
Snagged a few albums by Armin Van Buuren on a whim recently and my neighbors may hate me for how loud I'm pumping this. Embrace pulsates between the misguided bumps of my youth and the chill relaxed vibe of my middle age. A potentially dangerous overlap that I hope doesn't (re)awaken anything in me!
I was elected for something, the position was very stressful and the people sucked, so I just quit. It feels amazing. I want to quit more things now. Quitting is amazing. Sticking things out is overrated. Life's too short.
Kicking my ass right now. I didn't buy something that was half off last night cause I thought I'd sleep on it since it was at two different stores. This morning it was full price again when I went to order it. I didn't need another box set, right?
Just found out that a friend I grew up with who I haven't seen in 24 years just passed away. One of the last memories I have of him is of us doing a double feature at his mom's house of Hackers and The Saint shortly before I moved away. Eddie was always doing something he shouldn't and got into a lot of trouble over the years. He also loved Primus, so I'm gonna go listen to some to send him off.
Administrations are pitting students and faculty against each other to try and distract everyone from the fact that it is they who suck and are willing to sacrifice us all for their fat bonuses.
RIP Jean-Luc Nancy. A different kind of rockstar (French philosopher) whose brilliance was surpassed by the kindness and respect he showed his students.
Kscope released an album today (digitally only so far) called Trifecta - Fragments, it's made up of three of the touring musicians behind Steven Wilson. The releases says they used to do jazz jam sessions together in warm up which birthed this project. I'm really loving it so far.
First Skynyrd and Kansas canceled, now Alan Parsons. Odds that the Dead will cancel and I'll go three for three? I was originally irritated that King Gizzard wasn't until '22, but they're looking like more than musical geniuses each day.
