I never keep up with journals. I'm a lazy writer. Perhaps I can use this blog since I waste so much time on computers. What holds me back from blogging is wondering, "who will even read this?"
Some really good websites to go to when bored:
www.realitycarnival.com
YouTube or Google Video search: Daniel Johnston
www.ilovephilosophy.com
www.newgrounds.com
Everyone should see "The Devil and Daniel Johnston." I forgot the director, but he won the Sundance film award for Best Directing. It's a very moving documentary of the history of Daniel Johnston. He grew up in his own personal hell. He has an extreme case of manic-depression, and he's very VERY delusional. If you hear your first song by him, you'll probably be thinking, "Ewww, wow this really blows." Give it some time, and I guarantee you'll fall in love with his honest portrayal of love and raw pain.
Songs to check out:
"Love Will Find You In The End"
"Story of an Artist"
"Devil Town" (the cover of this song is done by Bright Eyes, and it's excellent)
"Walking The Cow"
"Grievances"
"Held the Hand"
Best thing to do first is WATCH the movie. You can get it anywhere, I think. Check it out, you'll thank me later.
