Am I getting Older or Are They Playing Better Music
Everyone who knows me knows that my two favorite musical artists are Pink Floyd and Leonard Cohen, in no particular order. Today I will be talking about the greatest British band ever Pink Floyd. Yeah that right I said it... You did not think that I was going to name another band did you? If you want to start a flame war because of the Beatles just remember this... An ugly woman broke them up... At least Pink Floyd broke up for because of something substantial...Money... hehe...
I would say that I truly discovered Pink Floyd some time in middle school. It might have been in Sixth grade, which would have made me the tender age of twelve. That would have been the wonderful year of 1992. I think this is as good a time as any to develop some deep seeded angst against the world. All of seventh grade my two best friends and I spent every single lunch period discussing The Wall. For those of you who are not in the know The Wall was released in 1979 to much critical acclaim. The Wall delves into such subjects as isolation, drug abuse, depression, and suicide. You know, all the great things that every twelve year old should be listening to. So taking that album and throwing in some other great Pink Floyd albums and my on going depression created this great mix of anger. Later that year I would also discover Leonard Cohen. Still I would not be until 2001 that I would find Hallelujah and it would be another couple of years before I would start my quest to find every single cover of that song. Thirteen and counting SWEET!!!
Another thing that I have to mention to make this post work is how much I hate scary stuff. I went to see the Skeleton Key a while back and that scared the snot out of me. My friend just laughed the whole movie off and she proceeded to make fun of my fear for the rest of the night. There was also the trailer for The Exorcism of Emily Rose. Yeah I turned to her and flat out refused to go see that movie. The trailer scared me to death. That's how much I hate scary things. I just don't like being scared. And I really don't like the feeling you get when nothing happens. A friend of mine described it as just being angry that after all that fear nothing happens to you. At least if the monster from the movie came out and swallowed me whole then I would not be so bad.
Enough with the preface A couple of Halloweens ago a whole bunch of us went to a haunted mansion type thing somewhere in Jersey. Some people were scared and some people were just laughing it off. I was just annoyed. And this time it was not because of the fear. They were playing some mood music that was supposed to have this haunted feeling to get you in the mood that you were in some eerie place. At first I was really digging it but then it hit me. I realized that they were playing Pink Floyd's Meddle. The song they played was Echoes with out the singing parts. Don't get me wrong the music is very unusual and at 16 minutes it can last quite a while. But I was just so mad. How can I be scared when they are playing music that I listen to on a normal basis?
Also, another friend of mine and I have gotten into the habit of text messaging each other when we hear Pink Floyd in the radio or where ever we are. Here comes the crappy part. We have been hearing it in arts and craft stores such as JoAnn's and A.C. More. They the other day I heard Pink Floyd at the grocery store. THE GROCERY STORE. Why are they doing this to my music? The very songs that I was using to differentiate myself from the rest of the world are becoming main stream. How can I be angry and depressed and ISOLATED when everyone is listening to the same thing. Just picture this Pink Floyd coming through the speakers and me listening closely to get the whole emotional feeling behind the music and they I realized that I have to buy some bacon and a roll of paper towels.

Welcome to mySpace
Well the fist thing I must say is welcome. For those of you who were unaware... For the last couple of months I have been transferring all of my stuff from LiveJournal. I had spend some good years on Lj and I did not want to loose that. I mean some of that stuff was really funny and some of that stuff was really sad so I figured that all of you should read that... For those of you who did not read it... FOR SHAME!!! Come on people. You know that I am doing this for the attention so you might as well read it. Read all of that with all of my bad spelling... I must warn you now...
My decision to join mySpace was not easy. First was the matter of all the writing I had done. For those who know my writing know that I spend hours coming up with a single post. That is when I decided to transfer all of that stuff over. At first it seemed a little daunting but after a while I got the hang of it and I think it came out pretty good. I lost one post that would not come over. Which was not so bad. The other one was one that I posted in August of last year. I had writen ths post in Russian and mySpace does not let you write in Russian. After freaking out about it form days and actually debating whether or not I wanted to continue my move over I finally figured out a compromise. See each post takes a lot of time to compose. That is why I do not post little bulletins and that is why I do not leave messages on peoples pages. Its not because I do not care. Its because I am not crafty enough to come up with something witty of the top of my head. Also I am not the kind of person who goes on and on to talk about their lives. I find my life kind of boring actually. So I talk about other stuff and throw in a little of my life just for kicks.
The second reason why I did not want to leave was because of the "Extra Reading" Section of my posts. There is some really good stuff in there people... If you are not clicking on at least some of those... FOR SHAME!!!
For Another reason why I did not want to leave was because I had so many friends on Lj that I did not want to leave them behind. But then I ound ot that Molly was on mySpace and that just made me decide right there.
There were other reasons too that I can not, right now, remember...
So anyway... if we are friends and just want to read what I have to say. Or if we are just acquaintances and want to know more about me. Or if you are just stalking me... Come in and pull up a chair, relax and have some fun... Because I sure will...

Good bye cruel world...
Ok by know I am sure you have noticed that I have been gone for quite a while. Let me tell you something. I am not coming back. I have decided to move on and not look back. There are people I am taking with me but if you did not know the news of my departure then you were probably not meant to follow me. At this time I would like to thank you for the time we spent together but now it must end. A while back my friend had this great message on her phone. It said. "Hi, I have recently made some changes in my life. So if I don’t call you back, you are probably one of them." So I in turn said this, "Hi, I am not available to answer the phone right now so just leave your name and number. If I don’t call you back it was probably because I was tired of waiting for you to call me." Yeah that’s a brief description of how things have been. So if you don’t know where I am going and want to follow well all I have to say is I’m sorry. I am sorry if you think I left you behind it is just because I needed mySpace.
No Mood because I felt them all at once,
