It is hard to think with music ringing in your ears. Not that I've been anywhere with music--no concerts or anything like that. I am blasting (okay, not blasting) an awesome three disc set of Television's Marquee Moon, Fleet Foxes' self-titled, and Wilco's (The Album). I'm about five songs into the Fleet record. Good stuff. I can't believe that I didn't particularly care for these guys when I first bought the album...reminded me of My Morning Jacket too much. (Not that that is a bad thing, just unoriginal. I've since seen the error of my ways: Fleet Foxes do vocal harmonies better than the Beach Boys.)
Oddly enough, it's not that hard to write about what I'm listening to. Trying to spew out a story would probably be difficult. (Which is why, I think, I was having so much trouble writing last night. Curse you, music!)
I'm not really sure what this update is even about. Is this interesting to anyone?
It's fun to think that if I ever become famous, these little blogs I have will become treasure troves of information that my multitude of followers will pore over for information. Chase, in his youth! Egads!
My cup of coffee is cold. Not Expensive Starbucks Coffee (although that shit is gooooood, I don't care what anyone says--if I lose cred for liking Starbucks, so be it), but the home-brewed variety. Three cheers for me not paying for coffee!
I will say, it's nice to be writing again. If this counts as writing. I suppose it is. After all, I'm putting letters together to make words. That's writing. I guess the only thing I'm lacking is soul.

It's rare when, I can actually write with music in the air. It's just to hard to write something with words and sounds of a different atmosphere playing around me. I usually end up putting the pen and paper down, and dancing around to the music. Writing your own words and thoughts while listening to someone else's is difficult, very much like calling into the wind, when it's blowing in the opposite direction, of where you want your voice to travel. Know what I mean?
I'm ranting, I'll stop now. =)
