You Owe It To Yourself

In the name of Upstairs Construction '06 i have been neglecting my social life and my blogging life (despite having a now up and running computer). Running my frail body non-stop at full speed for too long has resulted in a system failure and i am now completely sick... which is forcing me to stop work... which allows me to write in between sick naps and cold medicine induced hallucinations.

Piktured (how the word should really be spelt) are a few of the warnings that came on the box to my new indoor soccer shoes. i think i'll have them tattooed on me as they are important life warnings which also somewhat apply to me: no batteries requires and contains no animal byproducts (also looking for an escape).

i also wanted to drop a quick public service announcement concerning music, in particular two important albums. First, if you listen to any modern music which could possibly be characterized by someone as emotional punk, EMO, or indy you owe it to yourself to find a copy of Sunny Day Real Estate: 'Diary'. If you are in any way into this genre of music this is a classic album that was ahead of it's time and could easily be said to be the start of the music stylings so popular today. Such a personal album.

Second, if you enjoy music at all you really owe it to yourself to own a copy of Moby: 'Play'. Again, you'd be hard pressed to find anyone who likes any kind of music at all who doesn't like this album. i was recently reminded of both albums and they are really two records that everyone should have in their music collection. Both are moving and inspiring in two very different ways. Being sick makes me emotional and nostalgic... sorry.
