Honest Statements
I want to be in a band.
It's hard to really describe exactly what I want out of it though. It would have the melodic grungy guitar sounds, mixed in with the driving bass that is popular in a lot of music today. It would be sporadic, but it would flow. Yeah, I know that's not exactly the most unique or groundbreaking idea... but it'll have that special magical intensity. That's the key.

When I'm bored I like to browse for people playing covers of my favorite songs on YouTube.
Some of them are really amazing and inspirational but I love finding the horrible ones. I've only been playing guitar seriously for about 3 years. I'd love to keep learning, and seeing the bad videos helps me to keep perspective. It's comforting to know that I am still progressing even if it feels like I haven't improved. It's a grind, but the videos make me smile, even if some of them really make me cringe.

I don't believe in Luck. I do believe that someone can be 'lucky' but only in the sense that it's a coincidence. That's how odds work.
I don't believe in being 'in Love'. I believe you can feel love as an emotion. I love my friends but to be 'in love' with someone is a difficult concept for me to really follow. Why would something just magically click 'ON' over a certain person? I believe two people can be wonderfully compatible and feel that emotion of love and if that's what you want to call being 'in Love' then that's fine.
I don't believe that there is a God, but I feel like if there was, we'd be cool because he'd understands why we don't believe in him. I think he'd also be proud of all the good people that there are in the world, even if they aren't Christian.

I feel like it's difficult to be me. I've always had a rigid belief of who I am, but every now and then I realize that what I believe, isn't me.

I feel like there are only so many 'friend time slots' available in my life. I've met a lot of wonderful people and I try to keep all the special ones around, even if we're not in regular communication. I don't see or speak to a lot of my friends, but I feel like they still understand that we're close. I trust them to know they're still important to me even if I don't show it as much as I should.

I've been craving musical inspiration. A lot of people have suggested a few bands/albums to check out and I've really appreciated it. I've given everything a really honest shot too. I'd love to grow into more music. If anyone can suggest an album to download/buy please leave a comment. It would make me happy.

Sweet dreams.

There's infatuation and there's love. Infatuation is a passing thing, it's the "I've just fallen in love" thing, which is not love so much as a tingly feeling of excitement which can last for days, weeks. Then there's love, which is something that developes over time.

God isn't only a Christian idea, so if there were a God, and he actually fit into one of the specific descriptions of one religion or another, I think the rest of us would be screwed. If there is a God, no religion accurately describes it, as all descriptions are far too human; they are human attempts at fathoming a power far beyond our possibility.

Bear Vs Shark, which I think you have heard, almost sounds like a derivative of At the Drive-In, but they're still somewhat distinctive and rock-out-able. Both bands are now defunct.
Go here and open both Apathy and Paying Rent links. One is half of the book for reading, which I've barely touched, and one is a playlist. The book part is also the song titles from the playlist. Track 5, O Pioneers! sounds like a derivative of Bear Vs Shark, but, again, still fun. Track 4 is awful, though. Lots of other music you might be interested in in there.
The Weakerthans are great.

The Weakerthans are also coming to montreal with the Constantines and the tickets are 25$. March 26th, Le National, EMilie Clepper is opening, although I don't know who that is... But Constantines are really good live!

Oh and Bloc Party is coming the 18th. yay.
