Continued from earlier...

To your chagrin or enjoyment, as promised, I'm back to elaborate on my earlier post. I just can't stop thinking about this. I'm hesitant to post this because this is retrospectively pretty damn dumb. Ok, here goes: This morning as I was going through my ritual of sexification (which doesn't take very long ;-)), and while brushing my teeth I thought about "The Devil Went Down To Georgia". Yes, the Charlie Daniels song that sets my heart aflame, played 68 times on my i-Tunes. And every time it's played I feel deep regret about the results of the contest and [shameless Rolling Stones plug], a bit of sympathy for the devil. How in the hell (no pun intended) did Johnny win? If you listen to the song, the devil had a great solo, an impeccable drumline, and dare I say, that "new sound". Johnny's solo, not so much of anything. From a young age, I've been taught that Satan, Lucifer, Beelzebub, et cet., is innately evil. However I was also taught to give credit where credit was due. He blew it out of the water. Mad props diablo. The maddest. Sadder still, in my unyielding quest for truth, I've found myself rationalizing -creating a side story where Johnny disqualifies the devil after his own admittedly mediocre solo for the devil's illegal and unapproved use of a backing band of demons. These are things I think about. I linked the song so you can tell me what you think. And it's ok if you don't want to be associated with me directly by responding in the comments section. Send me an IM or something. I know I would....

Mental Strife

As I sit at my computer, listening to the "newly re-added to Cabrini" N*Sync song, "Just the Two Of Us", preparing to go to school and do homework on this fine Sunday afternoon, I must say that something has been causing me much mental strife as of late. Taxing the limits of my psyche. It's weighing on my mind heavily and I have to tell someone to make sure I'm not crazy. I'll continue later... (I gotta get to school!)
