002: Whose Truth Is Your Truth

[Christian M.]

It’s Saturday night and I’m home alone. The weather is nice. I should go for another bike ride. I have been feeling way out of shape lately. This is not good. It’s my fault. I’ve been letting myself go a little.I was writing about a friendship that hit the skids after I read something they posted on their myspace page. It’s not my battle. It stinks people live such cloistered lives. Why do people wish they could be in that snowglobe? I don’t get it. When asking for someone’s opinion, you should honor it, not go on a tear and try to destroy them.I just found out about a show at a cool record store in Doylestown on the 25th. Paint It Black and Cloak/Dagger at Siren Records. Paint It Black put out an explosive album and their live show should not be missed.I was looking through an old music magazine earlier this afternoon. Kris Roe, the singer of the Ataris revealed that his bands album “So Long, Astoria” is pretty much based on the concept of Richard Hell’s book “Go Now”. Kris said “There’s a chapter where Richard says “The memories are better than life.” Each day, he tries to produce memories for his life, and I’m just trying to go out and have the time of my life.” I thought that was interesting. Often people think it’s strange that I remember a lot of random, not too important stuff. I listened to that album and after reading the interview, I like it a lot more. Memory is important to me, as it should be for everyone.Alright. It’s time to relax. I’ll talk to you soon.Take care, OK?
