40 days

in the face of addiction, sometimes one must go cold turkey to reset the system. i’ve decided to try a new experiment in self discipline in fasting from substance enjoyment for the next 40 days. apparently, the good christians do this on an annual basis so it’s no big deal but it will be my first. actually, i need to corrindate this with a food fast sometime in the next 40 days as well so that the system gets a real nice reset. the ironic thing is that most days, i don’t even have my first bite […]

this wicked wax and wane

some of the more recent rocking covers i’ve heard in a while. Deftone’s cover of Cocteau Twin’s Wax and Wane. Placebo’s cover of Kate Bush’s Runing up the hill. in other musical notes, i’ve digitalize about 80% of my music collection so far. that translates to 17000 songs and 1200 artists. i am becoming a music junkie again. never enough.
