One Day From Forever
Well it's been a good six months since I last posted anything on my blog and probably seven months since I've posted anything worthwhile but I guess since it's now september and everyone is heading back to school I feel like writing again. Or maybe it's just the insane boredom right now that is causing me to write as I have no idea what I'm going to write about.
I have decided that if I ever become musically talented enough to make an album, which is highly unlikely, I would title it "One Day From Forever". My reasoning for this is not to clear at the moment. It may possibly be because as we live each day we could quite well be on the verge of discovering how to live forever but I don't want to live forever. So every day we live could be that one day from forever but inevitably we all die and that leaves us to wonder that if we were to die now could we have possibly lived forever if we had survived one more day. Maybe I'll just give up my hopes of making an album and turn my album title into a poem.
However, writing a poem doesn't seem to really matter at the moment because during a conversation at the bar on saturday night I was jokingly told that my life is going nowhere and at the moment I'd have to agree. Let's look at the situation right now: I am not in school, no desire to be in school, living at home, I don't have a fulltime job. Now this would have a whole lot more effect if I was forty and I do realize that only being twenty I still have plenty of time to figure things out. In a way I like the fact that my life is going nowhere but that's probably because I'm afraid of my life actually going somewhere. All I do know is that at this moment in time people are dying but I continue to live makes you wonder if they were one day from forever.
I give you credit if you are still reading this because I certainly know that this isn't as philosophically, politically, sexually or humourously exciting as some of the other more notable blogs on the scene, which I do however suggest visiting Brian's views on the blogopocalypse at Rants, Rock and Reason, it is very insightful. So that took me about ten minutes to remember how to use basic HTML so I have forgotten what I was talking about so it's time to move on to some upcoming events.
I will be seeing Bloc Party, The Kills and The Noisettes on the 12th of September in Toronto and then a week later it's time for some 90's grunge with Pearl Jam on the 19th. It's unbelievable how much I can't wait to see them again, unfortunately I think I start work that day so I hope I'm on days cause if I had to sell my ticket I'd probably have to consider hanging myself or finding a less painful way to die. As for the upcoming weekend I may head up to Manitoulin Island with my buddy John to his cottage for some fishing, drinking and bacon. You may ask why bacon is included but it is a definite must to purchase a slab of uncut bacon, then cut it into thick but not to thick squares and cook it over an open fire. It's honestly one of the greatest tasting things this world has to offer; juicy inside and crispy outside. I shouldn't have talked about it because now I'm craving for some.
I definitely need to make a road trip to London soon too if my funds will allow it because I really want to see the city again and the long list of people who oddly enough want me to come visit. It could be tough to fit everyone in on just weekend unless they all showed up at the same place but highly unlikely. Anyways, it's time to go cure my boredom with sleeping instead of writing. Let's see if this updating of my blog continues or if it was just a sporadic addition.
