Lonely Inches by the one man act from Portland, Oregon, Guilt Parade.
Words can't express how much I love this song, except how I feel like it caresses my dream node while simultaneously tugging out a small noodle of the material to wrap around my heart and lightly squeeze it.
I've been thinking weirdly lately. But remember, the above song is an awesome, lovely, candid, soulful little tune that's on par with Thirteen and (much better than) Hey There Delilah.

| So...Yeah. So, over the summer, I had finally found a break from the usual cycle of STRESS-boredom-STRESS-boredom-glimmer of fun, yay, wai--STRESS-boredom.
This past summer it was boredom-boredom-boredom-EXISTENTIAL MELTDOWN. And then school resumed so it's STRESS-SLEEPY HAZE OF ERRANDS, HW AND EXISTENTIAL MELTDOWN-sleeep-STRESS-SLEEPY HAZE OF STUFF-sleep....
So yeah... Becoming more and more aware of this world thru the years and stripping away all these thousands of layers of BS and distractions and myopic, useless concerns has left me realizing how finite and pointless life is. I feel like I know too much. Like I'm too fluid and hollow and I'll never know what I want because I want everything (well, most things) and have no self but that doesn't matter anyways cuz I don't have much going for me anyways. Everything is just out of reach.
So what is there? Bunnies of course. Bunnies and drugs and every experience and achievement and the hope that I'll live comfortably and not toil away my precious years of this life. I'm incoherent. I'm off to bed now.

| WTF... The speakers to the computer were turned off for some reason, so I flipped their switch... and at that moment, the monitor briefly shut down but came back again. But then my internet was down. I'd been surfing the web right before I turned the speakers back on, yet I looked around and found that the power strip that the router was connected had its switch in the off position. How the hell did that happen? So I turned it back on and now I have the internet again, but AIM can't connect to the server...

| Wow, that has been the latest I've ever taken the metra. I missed the 10:35 to Fox Lake so I had to wait for the 12:25... A crazy person sat to my left, and a drummer for a few past metal bands sat to my right. He was cool, and so on and stuff...
When my mom picked me up, "Hey There Delilah" was on the radio (the (rereleased?) version with strings). Jeez, that song is so old for a song popular on the radio. I think it was old when I first heard it back in Sophomore year of HS. How I first heard it is a weird story... Back when Myspace was a thriving social network and stuff people posted on threads in the GBS network page (which was moderated by Ed Mandel who was only there for like a semester and then moved, WTF, that scene kid). Anyways... this one guy posted something along the lines of "I have no friends at my lunch period (code for "at all"), anyone here wanna be my friend?"
He got flamed pretty quick... But every so often I'd click through to his profile and just look around... I don't know why, and I never made contact with him (wait, maybe I flamed him too, I can't remember). But his profile (or one of his friend's profiles) had a music player where you can choose from a few set playlists of popular songs... Very illegal, yet not cool cuz you couldn't personalize the playlists at all. Anyways I thought the guy was a total tool for having this, yet the first song I heard just blew me away... It was "Hey There Delilah", and I couldn't help but just play replay over and over for that song... I downloaded it quickly on Limewire, and.... yeah. I love that song, although saying that means nothing these days cuz everybody loves it. Hey, you're as much of an Indie elitist as I am.
