A happier explination

Before Tom posted his recent blog, he came to me and told me that he wasn't referring to my blog and was still following it.

My blog is pretty depressing, the problem is, when I have things on my mind, often this is the only place I feel I can let off steam, and sometimes the only way I can get a message across to certain people. I don't actually want to bore people in msn/skype conversations with my depressing thoughts, so when they say "Are you ok?" I say "yeah fine", it's pretty much the way society works. Nobody really wants to know if you have a problem, it's just chit chat.

When I'm not down, I don't particularly have anything to write about, so I don't think about blogging, I've tried before and I can barely think of two sentences worth before I get stuck. I am not sorry for writing predominantly depressing entries because it's my blog and that's what I need from it, however at the same time, I could probably understand why Tom would want to unfollow or certainly not read every entry. I'm glad he still reads though. I would guess, that Darren, Pav, Dale, Dave, John, Jemma, Chris and Tom are the eight followers of the blog and I guess the key people are interested in me, so that's ok.

I'm gonna write one depressing thing now and then move on to something happier so look away now.

At the moment, I'm experiencing a friend who seemingly has stopped talking to me and I'm not sure what I've done wrong. This gets me down.

Right...

itunes!

I have had itunes for a while now but I rarely used it, however last night I put about twenty albums on it. Today has been brilliant listening to full albums again as opposed to the odd track here and there. I used to listen to tons of albums before youtube and having anyone to talk to. I just used to spend everyday listening to different CD's but lately I've just have odd songs on shuffle. I rarely listen to CD's now. I love having the CD's digitalised and I fully plan to rip all 250+ albums to itunes but I've been holding off until I get a large external hard drive because I don't want to take up all my laptop's hard drive.

I uploaded a ton of Moby, Macy Gray, The Go! Team and Badly Drawn Boy and I love it. I do however feel like I'm starting to fall behind on my knowledge of music because I haven't listened to the radio in about 2-3 years so I don't hear new bands and I don't know when some of my current favourite artists have new material out. For example. I adored Royksopp's first album, I bought the second and I only listened to it like once and I realised yesterday that I've had it about 4 years now and that Royksopp have released two further albums since then. I'm not sure how I can start to get my knowledge up on new music again without radio because I just think that all dj's are fucktards.

On the topic of music, I had a couple of ideas for videos revolving around favourite music. It was either a desert Island Discs style video or a 51 things video but related to 51 favorite albums. I'm not sure if or when I'll do either. The 51 things video would probably be easier. Neither of them would be amusing. I feel a bit of an obligation to try to make funny videos for the people who are subscribed. I don't know if they'd be interested in a straight video.

Me and Tom decided earlier that an unnamed youtuber is an ugly little fucker. I like this!
