FEBRUARY 2010

2010 slogs on - one month down, 11 more miserable ones to go.

I can't believe how my mood has changed. Even with just recording my top songs. No one may ever seen this blog, but still, it was fun to just let loose in my virtual world, to myself, if to no one else.

But now I'm just mentally tired of life in general. Of course people have had it worse than I do, but it's not as if I've always been unappreciative of the luxuries I DO have, like central heat and air conditioning, and so on.

I just feel like a waste of life. Did I just type that!?! I'm just find little reason to enjoy being alive. Oh well....

....Godsmack pretty much ruled my charts over the early part of this past decade. In February 2000, they had TWO songs in the top five; both eventually became #1s! Im not very gaga over any band anymore, one reason being my age - you sort of lose unbridled enthusiasm as you get older. that's ok, it's understandable. but there will always be a place in my heart for Godsmack - the bass, Sully's voice, the rhythms, the one concert I attended which was GREAT...all those things add up. 10+ years for them and they still rock like there's no tomorrow.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy my lists...maybe you will remember a song you like that you had forgotten about:

OCTOBER 2013

This month's is very late. Next week it will have to be updated again. Two new entries, from bands I had previously never heard of, and will probably not hear from again!  In any case, the new entries are great, uplifting, dare i say 'joyous' rock songs. Radiana is holding on to a very respectable showing. I think it was #1 for just a week, but let's face it - ANY artist covets a showing in my Top 5.  FACT! "Aunt Betty" is one of those songs with a very heavy rhythm and perhaps vocals I find poignant that just dominate. An example of that might be Stone Temple Pilots' "Trippin' on a Hole in a Paper Heart", which was on the charts for EIGHT months. I love that chorus "I am I am I am myself - I'm not dead but I'm not for sale....". I am numb again, lately - some place between happiness in life but teetering on depression. Same old same old, but I guess I'll take this rather than the byproducts of actually being dep...

OK, my final class for graduate school is...a bear. I am struggling, but persevering. Besides that, things are going OK.  I am feeling good physically - I am working out, not indulging too much in chocolate or sweets (my kryptonite), and taking care of my back.  I have to see a doctor next week for a persistent problem in my throat, though - it's like a cold, but without a sore throat or other symptoms.  I only have a restrictive passageway at times (trouble swallowing food), and phlegm.  Isn't that just sexy?  But it's not a cold or a virus or anything - antibiotics don't work. That's it for now - gotta hit the books. Music.... Late this month, but that's OK. I am pretty sure the monthly Top 5 the way it looks now is how it would have had I updated it at the beginning of February.   Another entry by Mastodon!  This may not be the last one (it is currently the fourth) from the album.  There could be at least one more Top 5er. ...

I am at a strange peace.  I went to church tonight, and as usual, my mind strayed for most of it.  Sorry, but I have some kind of adult deficit disorder thing.  At least I went.  I do take spirituality seriously.  I can honestly say I have my doubts ANYTHING about it is true, but at the same time, my mind finds justification about the existence of God.  Hmmm...nah, will delve into it in a future posting, maybe. Well, I took a scalding hot shower after re-reading my previous month's post.  Yes, with clear conscious I was involved in meaningless encounters, but I wince when I read what sounds like gloating about it.  I probably will never have a long lasting, deep relationship.  I think I've known this for over 2 decades. I just can't do it - I am damaged in a way and that is why marriage will never happen, I guess. But that in no way means a life is mis-used. You can still touch people deeply (I am restraining to make a frat boy comment he...
