i feel trapped. i feel pigeon-holed by people. i feel subjected to biased pre-notions against me.
as i flood my ear drums with Foo Fighter's "Best of You", i remind myself of the struggle that i went through to reach where i'm sitting right now. i'm still nowhere, doing research for an uncertain future, acquiring skills (fast) that hopefully will be of use.
but as i live my life to the current model i'm using right now, it has become evident the need for an objective paradigm shift. i'm still stuck here, yes. but not for long. not for long.

it's only now that i thought of age as a function of musical interest.
as you grow older, the themes start to be more deeper than your typical candy-lickin' songs.
i'm listening to Welcome the Night by The Ataris and i hear Kris Roe growing up from the punk-love songs of the band's past albums. this amplifies to me resoundingly since you can't sing about a blatant broken heart forever. Those themes can be hidden, which implies depth. And that's all the album resonates to me.
i will do more in depth listening in the future. i planned to do reviews with Jimmy Eat World's Chasing the Light and Lifehouse's Who We Are albums, but time and fluctuating interest on importannce of work won't permit me.
PS: This post brings back to my planned EP of songs formulated 3 to 5 years back. How can i record those songs when i'm not the same guy anymore?
