-time alone today. something i take for granted, yet i seem to get less and less.
-we go from overthinking everything in our early 20s, to waking up somewhere along the way, maybe years later, realizing we have barely reflected as we've gotten older. -it makes me a little sad to lose awareness of the time going by... they say in the end its the wink of an eye ;)

-its hard to be honest with yourself, and definitely not usually fun. and so here i am oscillating between believing i am obligated to do/learn as much as i possibly can in my lifetime, and feeling like theres actually only the tiniest few things worth pursuing. that there are either so many things to do on any given day, or none at all.
-keep pushing myself to a healthy state of self-awareness leading to self-improvement...
what i want to do more of:
-reading old album reviews and they are proportional to the music of the time in their eloquence. Ironic how as so much music has downshifted towards mediocrity, so too, has the writing of the very people telling us supposedly what is worth listening to.
-'joyful procreation to combat metaphysical terror.' Sheeeesh, why mince words when one can write a concise beauty of a phrase. -now for me some words come easy, but I know that they don’t mean that much compared to the things that are said when lovers touch. jackson browne
-why is it always the dudes in very lame sports cars driving the most aggressive? Do you really feel roadway entitlement if you drive, say, a mitsubishi eclipse...?
-I didn’t spend all this time becoming me to listen to you. Kanye
-thinking about costs of things, pricings. Staying street-level, aware of what people are able to pay for a service and not run the risk of putting yourself out of reach. I think especially in the music industry we’re all so eager to flaunt our accomplishments, talents; and they aren’t without weight. Yet warner probably isn’t about to call offering you 50k to produce a record. And if they do, (good for you) but it’s not like there’s tenure. If you lose out on street awareness you might find yourself priced out of opportunities and then crawling back for them later. -i've been thinking a lot about death recently. Mostly in the form of imagining a gnarly car accident involving myself or someone I love. It feels innocent enough yet I’m just starting to notice it as a pattern of thought. -colin graduates high school today -'don’t forget, sometimes we all think about dying. Don’t let it kill ya.'
