For you to be happy

For now.

If you don't know the Moth & the Flame..
contact me, micah, or scott (or a bunch of other people too)
And we'll try to get you their new album. It is incredible.

I feel strange when I tell people about music that has changed my life for a few reasons:
1. It changed my life.. not everyone else's.
    I find that line between personal and public music sharing to be a dynamic line sometimes.
       -I want my close friends to feel that incredible feeling that I get too, because I love my friends.
2. What happens if they don't like it? I can't be offended.. But I am going to feel weird.
     I start to feel like I defaced the music I cherish because someone else didn't feel the same way I did.
       -I recognize this thought process isn't the best one. But this leads to my next point.
3. Sometimes I want to share so badly, because I want them to know how much I love it.
    I don't want this question to EVER surface with people I know well:
                Hey, have you heard of Sigur Ros? Some of their stuff isn't that great but you'd like Glosoli..
         I can't help but get the urge to smack that person down to the ground.
         At the same time, haha, it's not their fault, holy cow Brent..
4. Sometimes when people tell me to listen to music, I immediately mark that band/musician down in my
    head as music to never look up. With this fact. I try to be careful sharing. Because maybe they will be
    more likely to listen to it if I don't bring it up like it's a world news event. Maybe patience will help the
    desperate cause. This scenario is my favorite:
                [sitting somewhere, plane, car, bench] Hi, what are you listening to?
                                                                                   Hey, [whoo are youuu], The Shins!
                                                                             Oh that's cool, the only song I know is New Slang.
                                                                                   Really? Well put these headphones on immediately.
                                                                                   This song is called Split Needles (or Know you
                                                                                    onion!, or Sea legs, or any shins song)
                                                                             Okay. [3 minutes pass]
                                                                             That was awesome. I didn't realize everything in the                      
                                                                             world is made better with music by the Shins..
                                                                                    YEHAAHAHAAA.. yes.
This scenario has not, and will not ever happen.
I heard from some guy the other day that mono sucks.. I'm glad I dodged that bullet.
I can only guess how many people read what I write here.
and my guess is: 6 max

I am so excited to go home.

Unnecessary things

Unnecessary things, that lean more towards the unhelpful (even harmful) side of the spectrum, straight up make me angrystrated.
This is in and of itself a paraDIGGUM shift.        (Exquisite cred)
I think this is great however.
Thus. we. see...

When one does not think before one opens one's barf hole,
everyone else will figuratively barf on that person.

So. Give it a think people. I will work on it too, I swear.
Why don't we all start ignoring the social battle opportunities and spend the time having fun.
Because when you start looking for these situations, you'll say:

Let's stop barfing.

It is not good for the psyche..

In the end, Thom Yorke will still win.
