High Times - Elliot Smith

...So, new thing? Thank you Grace for recommending the thang.

I guess I'm supposed to fill this space with some sort of new-agey observation or thoughts of sentiment, for this is no MySpace. Sure. Let's see how long I can hold out on this guise of typing in proper grammar, with proper punctuation and capitalization. Yeeh!

After tonight, as I stood lost within the crowd of high school students, clapping listlessly to the beat of "Amazing Grace" (oh you go, Chel), I came to the final conclusion that there is no such thing as "originality". As much as we hate to admit it, we turn our heads to avoid it, sweep it under the rug, it's still the elephant sitting on our couch. People get into debates and arguments over who-started-what, and who-is-better, when it's all quite pointless and in vain, really. Who friggen cares if someone copied you!? Most of the time, it's not even a true copy of your claims. Here, let me hold your hand and guide you through the process. It's very possible that someone of one of the previous lives lived on this earth had already stumbled over your precious ideal already. So get over it. Really. And I suppose I have to take that into mind, too, for we all are proud and hold ourselves in a higher stance that we deserve. I guess I'm no better. Yay, a lesson for today. Woah, dream big!! And speaking of such, I'm going to make a disclaimer already -- I love the idea of putting on a "today's song" in every blog, thanks to Grace, as well, and a hint from xanga. So I'll do it. No big, it's brilliant.

And def jam poetry rocks. This guy (pardon for not remembering the name :/) wrote a poem about Jimi Hendrix's "Purple Haze"; oh man, nothing short of majestic. And I don't call many things majestic, that's for sure. It's so full of passion, it's terribly contagious. Hah, and not to mention entertaining. Inspiring. All of those big adjectives that could be pulled from a thesarus, you name it, it labels it.

I guess this just about wraps up my first post on Blogger. Yay me.
