    This pretty much sums up how I have been feeling lately. I hope I can get out of this funk soon.

  2. Generally…

    I’m okay with being alone. I mean, I’ve pretty much mastered it. But, some days the loneliness surrounds me and makes me realize how alone I really am. Then, I get angry because no one cares about me and I have no friends. Then, I think about how massive the world is and about that old man I met the other night, who lived this whole life of exploration, then I left without ever catching his first name, and then it dawns on me that I am such a small speck in this universe it’s no wonder people forget about me and my friends don’t call me or that I’m usually just an afterthought. I barely exist. 

  3. "Is it your fear of being buried that makes you so afraid to speak? An avalanche of opinions, like the one that fell, that I’m now underneath. It was my voice that moved the first rock, and I would do it all again."
    “The Big Picture” by Bright Eyes

  4. I’ve always always been very guarded, and I’ve never been ‘in’ love. I always tell my family that this song represents how it’s going to be if I ever find that person. But keep it on the down low, cause I’m not the sappy type. 

    Also, I love Nat King Cole.

  5. We have seen The Room at midnight showings, but when we found out that Tommy and Greg were presenting the one at the Chicago Music Box Theater, we had to go. It was one of the best nights ever…Tommy Wiseau is pretty crazy and I got tons of pictures with him, shook his hand a bunch and had a conversation with Greg about these events. I also bought a bobble head that Greg and Tommy signed (made out to Kristh, which makes it even better). I’ve never seen so many plastic spoons in one place.

  6. Fox!

    Fox!

  7. Ugh, politics. Also, no one cares what I think. Yet…

    When I first watched the Kony 2012 film, I was skeptical. Once again, here was what appeared to be a privileged white guy with his organization talking about a problem that has been around for years and has been fought by many before them. I saw the non-profit members in their giant, fancy office building, driving their custom van, and certainly had some concerns about the funds. When he mentioned their ‘Cover the Night’ campaign on April 20, the first (and really, last) thing that went through my head was… “With all this digital media and promotion, do they really need to waste so much paper? Especially so close to Earth Day!” I am not a big fan of what has been called “slactivism”; an idea that someone who is sitting behind a computer and yelling about something is going to make a difference (and yes, I understand the ironic contradiction here). However, in the end I knew that the campaign would catch on like wildfire, and that was clever. I believe what they are doing is important. If they can help get Joseph Kony behind bars for what he’s done, I am glad. So, I clicked reblog and shared the video on Facebook. However, instead of donating money to the non-profit, I wrote to my congressional representative about the issue. Sure enough, as the Internet is full of opinion and cynicism, today I see an outpouring of people saying how horrible Invisible Children is (fun fact: I was almost roped into canvassing for the IC a year ago, so I know a little bit about them). Fine, whatever. I don’t know all the facts, but I do know that I am not surprised. Wow, someone corrupt? You don’t say! I just want to believe that if someone is doing positive things in the world, it’s something and that is helping in some way. This viral campaign, whether you are talking for or against it, is getting the message across to everyone.

    My final thoughts: it does not hurt to share the word and help get Kony recognized. If you don’t want to donate, don’t fucking donate. Write or call your government (for free!). Rant over.

  8. Watch it. Worth your time.

  9. "For Franz music was the art that comes closest to Dionysian beauty in the sense of intoxication. No one can get really drunk on a novel or a painting, but who can help getting drunk on Beethoven’s Ninth, Bartok’s Sonata for Two Pianos and Percussion, or the Beatles’ White Album? Franz made no distinction between “classical” music and “pop.” He found the distinction old-fashioned and hypocritical. He loved rock as much as Mozart.
    He considered music a liberating force: it liberated him from loneliness, introversion, the dust of the library; it opened the door of his body and allowed his soul to step out into the world to make friends."
    The Unbearable Lightness of Being by Milan Kundera

About me

My name is Krista. This is more for me to reminisce than anything else. Music is my life and there are a lot of bands I love which throw people off, or seem too obvious. I feel as if describing the moment I first heard them, or that one album that never lets me down, will help them, along with myself, explain why they mean so much to me. It's a lot of senseless rambling more than anything else. Really super boring, even to me.
