Changes

Because I know people will just want the music I'll not make you wait and just put up the song that goes with the title.
Changes -Tupac

And now for another not-related-to-music post...
I used to be really bummed on people who went from one phase to the next. I was like "that dude just changes all the time and he can't decide who he is." I've realized that sometimes it is like that, but other times (maybe even most) it's not at all. Being over here has made me realize that circumstances Definitely change people. I have worn button-up shirts to class. If someone was a just-t-shirt person (past me) looking at me they'd probably say, "that guy sucks." Well, maybe, but who is that person to say that? So since I was often in that judging-a-book-by-its-cover mode I won't be. People just do what they want to, and a dude in a suit could be just as cool of a person as anyone else or a just as big of a dick as anyone else. (If you don't follow now, bail, cause I'm sure it isn't going to get better.) Ramble on? Consistency is good, but what I wanted to be and see other people be a while back was just one style of person through and through. That's great and all, but it doesn't make any sense at all for modern human existance. With some type of love as the goal for everything we do as humans, (at least that's what I would say) changing style to fit situations not only helps the person doing it but also the people around them feel more comfortable. I don't want everyone to become fashion robots, but wearing jeans to a ballet isn't going to be good for anyone. Change that happens in the long run will also just happen whether or not we realize it. I'm going to be different when I go back to the US. No doubt. I'm sure people there will be or seem different to me then as well. I don't have a point other than saying let change happen. Let things change, experience changes and see what you think about them, but remember what you stood for, what you're standing for, and what you intend to stand for and get them aligned at least a little bit. (Wearing a t-shirt one day and a button-up with a tie the next is different than believing in discression one day and doing a jig with anyone the next)


I listened to the new Bloc Party album Intimacy in one sitting. Some of it is Merde; likable shit but shit nonetheless. However, I'm buying the album cause when they do it good they do it good.
Resist the Talons!
Best song hands down is Signs (and I'm not giving it away for free so I might influence you to buy the album)

Is love real? Is it just biology that with time becomes conditioned? I don't want to belive that but it seems like that's the only thing believable.

Tomorrow I swear I will start the second part of the STWMTGBIAC playlist. I've just been lazy.
