Why is it so hard to stay in contact with family? I mean, these are the people you've known since you were born and you can't even call to check up and say hi. It's a mystery that I've been pondering ever since I left home 6 years ago. Lately though I've been pretty good with keeping in contact. I can't think of a better time to keep in contact too. My family is currently going through some 'changes' and I can't help but be worried about those involved. I guess the least I can do is keep talking with them and hope for the best. No one ever said this kind of stuff was easy though. And no one is perfect, that's for sure. If there is anything I've learned throughout all this; it's that.
Some may know what I'm talking about, some may not. It doesn't matter. All I know is that in the past 6 months, I've seen several families go through some hard times. And it makes me slightly pessimistic about how I'm going to turn out. I can't help thinking about that. However, I don't think about it too much. There's no worse way to waste time than worrying.
In a lighter note, I'm making mad $ on ebay right now (hehe).
On the music note (get it?...hahaha...ha..ehhh), Katie and I are going to see Interpol with the support of Liars live on Wednesday. I've never had the privilege to see either band live but I'm quite excited for this. If you aren't familiar with Interpol (you need to crawl out from under that rock you're hiding under), I've posted their new track 'Mammoth.' The band has already established themselves as a force to be reckoned with in rock music. With their 3rd and newer album, 'Our Love To Admire,' Interpol have created yet another masterful album of Joy Division-ish tunes with an edge. In my opinion, they improve on Joy Division. Anyways, the other band is Liars. an experimental band out of Australia. Their weird Beck/Gang of Four-like music makes them nearly impossible to classify. Which makes for some badass listening experiences. If you know what I mean...
Interpol - Mammoth from the album 'Our Love To Admire' out now!
Liars - Freak Out from the album 'Liars' out now!
