Is There Anybody Out There?

Ok, I've done and gone it this time folks. For some reason I feel the need to cave into the pressure and participate in the thing that was the word of the year for 2004. Ahh yes, I am now officially a blogger. I really feel like I've sold out. Why? I don't know. I try to hold up values that are strong to me and now I'm caving in. I even tried to come up with a catchy/ironic title that has an air of mystery to it. Yeah you can tell me how much "Metamorphisis of Life" sucks. So I've got a blog? Big effing deal, may as well have fun with it, eh folks?

Really my friend Greer has her own blog. Thats my motivation. And I felt like blabbing stuff that no on particularly wants to hear about. I mean I can sit in my room and talk to the walls, or I can write on here and pretend that someone is reading this garbage.

Anyway enough with the self depricating humour -- it can be fun at times, but too much and I'll just start to look pathetic.

I am currently at the MSU Union killing time between classes.
I'm wearing a heartrate monitor for a lab I have to do. My pulse is a steady 69 BPM as I write this.
Tuesdays are killer -- class from 9:20-10:20, 12:40-2, 4:10-6:30, and 7:10-10.

I've been listening to a lot of The Velvet Underground as my study music the past couple of days. I've always liked them, but sometimes you're listening to a band or an album and you have an epiphany -- "This is fuckin' brilliant, man!" Thats what happened to me the other day. I was listening to the Velvets, and bam! There it was, right in my face, or ears really. For the uninitiated, a brief history on the Velvets: released four proper albums: The Velvet Underground & Nico, White Light/White Heat, The Velvet Underground, and Loaded. Their reputation is this: no one listened to them, but those that did formed their own bands (um...Bonon, Brian Eno, Michael Stipe, Peter Buck, the crew from the Talking heads, just to name a few). Just give a chance to any of these albums. Loaded is probably the most accessible one, but right now I'm really diggin on their eponymous 3rd album. And hey, they have frickin violoa player in the band, you gotta love that.

Anyway this is plently long for my first musing. Who knows how often I'll write here (probably when I need to do work but I'm distracted), but if you're reading I hope you like and if not, well then too bad. Later.
