I never really updated this thing because I was convinced I had to talk about music and I pumped myself up to do it and then never really got all that interested in finishing it.

**** that. I love music but I don't necessarily like writing about it because I feel like there isn't much I can say. I either like an album or I do not and I don't really know how to explain why or care to. I joined this forum because I thought that people who knew a lot about music were cooler than people who didn't and I thought I knew everything there was to know about it. I was right and wrong in that order but I do think I know a lot about music now. Of course I'm not done learning but I don't have much to say about it at the moment. I think I'll start updating this journal anyway.

I write a lot and I draw a lot and even though I usually end up giving my drawings to people or end up writing things too personal to share with people, I really ****ing like having a creative outlet. It makes me feel like I'm doing something beautiful and not just living to be alive. I haven't really hit my creative stride yet, meaning I haven't created anything that I consider excellent or the best I can do. I haven't even found a medium that I've been able to consistently stick to. It just makes me feel good to make something once in a while.

What I'm saying is, I might start writing in this thing.

I suppose journals don't have to be just about music. But where music is concerned I agree that loads of words don't really mean much often. Maybe if someone has an interesting interpretation of the lyrics...but with the music itself if someone wants an essay on it the best thing to tell them is just to take a closer listen to the music themselves. To discover and understand music I think people have to do it for themselves, you don't pick everything up in one place you have to search and explore. That takes time of course, but as with everything there are no real short cuts if you really take something seriously.

I don't know if you were intending to do this, but given your totally excellent (and scary!) vision of Hell, were you thinking that maybe Satan casts you into a huge filing library (think the end of Raiders or the X-Files) where only the crappiest albums are kept, and your punishment is to review them all?

Sounds like Hell to me!
