My Top 5 Songs

Contentment of November turns to complacency.  I am not motivated to do much except keep up with my class. I just can't adapt to middle age. I don't feel I'm in 'my place'. I had NEVER felt that way - never comfortable in my own skin. Frankly I am sick of 'hearing' myself as I type this shit for what now?  The last two years or so?  There is little point, it seems, to continue this way.  Hey, I am not ungrateful for what I have - running water, indoor plumbing, a roof over my head, knowing I (probably) won't get shot by a sniper like some poor person in Syria or something. Yes, I am fully aware of the torment a lot of people go through daily just to stay alive, let alone be happy. But it's hard to explain how overwhelming frustration and sadness are. Music.....Geoff Tate's Queensryche hits the top spot!  Pretty good album. The haters (and Tate has a lot on youtube!) can hate - its a great song, it really is. I think the guitar solo was done...

Well, the charts have been a bit constipated lately. Since early September, I was very busy cramming for exams and so on. I just hadn't enjoyed music the last few months. That is probably the first time since my pre-teen years I didn't look for, embrace, or otherwise enjoy new music over such a length of time. Well, it seems the proverbial laxative is taking effect - fresh songs rear their heads. There is a lot of good music out there, true dat. It's all subjective, though - it's what's in your heart, your head, your state of mind, your place in the world. All of this usually (but not always) determines how someone perceives the arts. So without further ado, December 2010's top 5 songs, and only 20 days late, unlike the previous two months... DECEMBER 2010 1.
