and i'll be anything you ask and more
it's not a miracle we needed...

self evaluation is never an easy thing. had to do it professionally for two different companies, both with different sets of standards. doing it with no outside interference is that much harder. try it when there is nothing. no rule. no standard aside from that which you actually set yourself.
it's a bit tough.

moved on from listening to Phoenix, have Led Zep "When the Levee Breaks" playing over the headphones. what does it mean to be someplace? every time i hear this song all i can picture is the long bridge span heading from Indiana into south Chicago, what is it, 90/94? does it matter?

sense of place, sense of time...i'm stuck in a place, a period, a time, a loss, a lack of knowing what to do, who to be, where to go. I used to have an idea, a plan, a sense of what i was doing and what was going on around me. not so much anymore.
maybe i really am losing it. i was applauded for my self awareness when i was younger, and even just as late as this last year from my own family, yet is it really that good to realize just how much of a dick, how much you're a jerk to those around you, yet do nothing to rectify the situation? what good is it to be an ass if being ass only proves that you're an ass?
i'm talking in circles. i state the last fun fact simply because it reminds me of better times: the reason for Bonhams' huge drum beats during "Levee" is because his kit was planted at the bottom of a four story castle tower where they recorded pretty much all of Led Zep IV. and honestly, it's pure genius. akin to Radiohead and how they recorded OK Computer in that castle as well. different castle. but...atmosphere goes a long way, and sometimes you get lucky on the recording.
sometimes you get lucky
