First post of a new decade... feels monumental

Its pretty crazy how much you can learn about yourself through just one person. I've been away... way too long. Lo siento. Much apologies. But here comes a new year and a new decade; get ready:

I've learned that in order to see another's point of view you first have to be able to see why you have your own point of view. Its good to want things; its also good to be able to compromise. Sometimes what's best for you isn't best for the long term. Sometimes you don't realize how tough something will be until its actually on you. Its hard to deal with but luckily most of us have someone out there somewhere no matter how distant who is there for them. Its a great feeling to have, even if it takes a bit of time to realize that connection. I've just gone through one of those realizations. It makes me feel incredible right now.

On that note, awesome start to the new decade. So much new music has come in that in the next few (read: three) months I will have a ton to talk about. Why that amount of time? Don't ask too many questions! (But I'm sure I'll eventually get to writing it down... just after I can fully discuss it with the person who already knows why.)

For the first post of the year I originally wanted to post something of and/or related to an end of the year/year in review/best of list. Unfortunately, most of those just serve to validate others' lists. That's bullshit. No thanks.

Second idea, album review... nope not yet too early. So instead I've decided to just rant. I haven't been able to sleep in a couple days. I haven't been eating enough. Couple that with too many cigarettes and feeling flat out depressed and lost and well, I hope you understand. I'm awesome right now, though. Thanks for asking. Enjoy the music!!
