So, my long time friend posted one of our old favorite songs:

slightly more mellow, hence the acoustic parenthetical. Sort of sent me back into musical past. I am pretty confident I have brought up metal before. What I find kind of funny is that, you have this group of guys focused around machismo, but it is like converting band geeks and theater geeks into symbols of manhood, you don't quite get the norm. The angst drawn up by these guys is the same as the stuff brought up in emo songs. Though that is the matter of music, just kind of transforming language around some basic concepts.

Here is another flaw song, whole:


I enjoy it now, and I enjoyed it when I was younger, but it is a fairly stereotypical song for the time. The song is just a version of a very fundamental song, perhaps a fundamental expression: you have hurt me.
it shows up as many things, missing a strong love, surviving a bad influence, but the formula is essentially
me - you = pain
no brainer, right? If somebody took out a chunk of your arm your senses would light up like vengeful christmas tree lights that deliver anguish instead of christmas spirit. Why wouldn't it be the same for your emotional self? For your emotional senses?

Music seems to be a mostly universal experience, and that principle relation in it is between you and me. More plentiful than you - me = pain is you + me = love.

Like our incredibly distant whale cousins, music is a matter of mating. Love however is an emotional state
(wait going to do something stupid real quick
me - you = pain

me + you = love

me = pain + you / me = love - you / pain + you = love - you / love = pain +2you Strange? yes.(I guess you could say that equation says the only way love is going to equal pain is if there is two of you) Someday Mathmotions will make sense. If you are confused, substitute pain and love with their definitions and you will find me is a normal state, me = me)
Anyways, I would say there is a difference between A raw mating call and a you + me song
but there isn't much difference, and there actually isn't much different with the you - me songs. Especially when you look at the blues,


It is hard to try and pin down the fundamental song, but the fundamental song is centered around the pair you/me. Creativity is the action of defying and redefining what is known, so new iterations must obfuscate their roots, and the journey has been so long, that music sometimes has seemingly nothing to do with the dynamics of pairing. (though I feel comfortable saying electronics is just modernized raw sex, because it is dance music, and dance is just one more type of foreplay)

As biology evolves, so does music, which is to say, that root song, that fundamental imprint in our spines which all melodies and smashing of drums spawn from, the musical eden(like mitochondrial eden), exists. So what songs today are closest? For while all things evovle and change, some paths stay on the same line. Welp, my guess is that the root song will represent the mean of population curve of music i.e. the most common, i.e. the most popular so, ladies and gentleman, I give you our roots:
Evolved of course.

So much more to say, so little brain to say it with =/
Was going to finish with this three panel soul on literary criticism:

not a lot of action in my okc favorites section.

was at an engagement party. My friends attacked their beer with a zeal I can only imagine to be related to their discomfort with the bride. My friends are basically the male side of the wedding party =

Anyways, my friend rabbit has taken to confide in me every time he gets drunk that I am a catch and feels the need to ask me why I don't have a girlfriend. While I am flattered and it feels good to hear somebody has this opinion about me, it is an uncomfortable reminder of how distant I am from any semblance of romance in my life. I get by without having an SO because I don't need one, and I get by without sex because I don't need sex. It is unfathomable to most to not require these things. For some it is because they were taught that humans are social creatures and that properly functioning humans need o connect in an intimate way with others, and with others it is because their desire to connect is so strong they can't imagine differently.

So I am left dancing around the question. Not ready (which I feel is true), not physically desirable to most women, not confident enough. The underlying issue is I am not driven enough, I get what I need from my family and friends. I am very trusting in the public perception of me, good and bad. Sometimes I am shocked by the differences it has with my own perception of me, but in the end I think it is equally valid if not more valid. I don't think there is a deeper me for people to know, a secret me. What I have with my friends, that communication gratifies me, and when I am with them I do not feel lonely, and when I am away from them, I rarely feel lonely. The loneliest I have gotten was when a friend decided we shouldn't be friends anymore, and that generated a schism in myself. A piece of me went with that friend, a piece of the social self, and a piece of the personal self, and I am still having to work, to communicate with myself to mend that.
