we’re starting fresh!
previously my blog was a little too open, too vulnerable. i think the writing was good for me, but probably not for the public’s eye. going forward, i think i will keep the more personal stuff private.
well, what to start with? i am feeling pretty lazy today. i wanted to get up early, go donate plasma, and then go to school to study for a few hours before my 3 pm class. i did originally get up and out of bed at 6:30, but soon went back to bed and got up 2 hours later. and now im still home, writing this! i think after this i will actually get up and get ready and leave.
i’m not a big movie watcher, never really have been. most of the movies i watch are with family. but i did recently, by myself, rewatch one of my favorites! tokyo drift. such a great movie dude. every time i watch it i have to refrain myself from buying a rwd car.
speaking of, i reaaaaally want a miata. theres so cute and small and they seem like so much fun. i currently have a newer civic si, which is fun as hell dont get me wrong. but its fwd, has an electronic parking brake, has annoying rev hang, and has several other annoying features. theres been a few times where a car in front of me is turning, so i brake and slow down, but when they are most of the way through the turn i start speeding up. i can see that it is safe to speed up and then im at no risk of hitting the turning car. but my car, being the baby it is, likes to slam on my brakes for me. lovely :). maybe miatas, at least newer ones, have similar issues, im not sure. but i still really want one! if anything i want it for the fact that its such a small car. i hate large vehicles. i daily drove an f150 for about 4 years and it sucked, so i went out and bought me a tiny little ’99 subie. his name was cornelius. such a fun car, i miss it.
im currently obsessed with a musician named Clark Rainbow. shes like pinkpantheress, who is also one of my favorites, but better? theres a part in her song “Care” where the beat stops but she continues singing, but then the beat continues so smoothly. i dont know why but that part gets me every time, i love it so much. i think its just how smooth the beat starts up again, it works so well.
i’ve also gotten back into Nightwish again. they are probably my all time #1 favorite. they were my spotify #1 for two years in a row, and theres a good possibility they will be #1 again this year. recently, like a week or so ago, i actually heard something ive never heard before that introduced me to some more bangers. in their album Endless Forms Most Beautiful, they have a song called Greatest Show on Earth. is a 24 minute song. absolutely fantastic. but i was listening to the instrumental version of it, and at the very very end there is a lyrics, i think spoken by the songwriter, Tuomas, that says “It never seems to occur to people that a man might just want to write a piece of music.” which is apparently a quote from a 20th century composer, Ralph Vaughan Williams in regards to his 6th symphony. so i checked out this 6th symphony. and that shit is fire. its so good. its been in my top 5 tracks for this last week on spotify
