I'm ashamed to say that I listen to emo. Emo is a low-water mark for humanity. At least what most people mean by emo, the mainstream commersial kind of emo. There is emo, and there's good emo, and the difference is huge. I listen to good emo, emo with a deeper meaning than just the regular "boohoohoo I cut myself because my girlfriend broke up with me because I'm so pathetic" or even worse "boohoohoo I cut myself because I'm so pathetic that I can't even get a girlfriend". That's just pathetic, and completely idiotic. And the worst ones aren't the ones making this kind of music, they're mostly just money whores or attention whores; the worst ones are the ones listen to the music and taking every word in the lyrics as one of the great truths of our time. I've seen people cutting themselves just because to want to look emo and sad sooo bad, hell, I've even seen people PAINTING tiny, red, cuts on their arms just because they're too afraid to really cut themselves. This is just wrong. And even worse is that these idiots who think they're so cool when they're sad just takes the focus from people with real problems, people who are depressed, apathetic or suicidal for other reasons than song lyrics. For those of you who cut your arms just because some guy in a band tells you to do it, please do the world a favor and cut deeper the next time you do it.

Ok, got somewhat off topic there. The point is, there is good emo. Emo with real feelings, emo that's not just about crying over lost love. Emo that is about life, and living and doing the best out of it. Emo that puts the focus on awaking all kinds of feelings with melodies and with poems instead of just killing all hope with carp like this:
" Note to self: I miss you terribly.
This is what...We call a tragedy.
Come back to me, Back to me, To me."
And yes, those are real lyrics, from a famous band.

Ok, I've had enough, I just can't stand emo people... Hardcore is way better anyway.

Sooo, how has my day been, except for the "I FUCKING HATE EMO" part? It's been quite good. I've gotten a lot of things done. The snow's finally gone, and it was sunny today, so the first thing I did when I woke up around noon was to get out and run, about five kilometers. Haven't done something like that in ages, since I stopped being and active athlete and concentrated on music instead. I felt really good.
Also, I've played Nintendo a lot, and I've been to the bank, and to the library. And since almost all the sand has been swept away from the ground, I've been out, using my bike for the first time since the snow came and I've really missed it! So it's been a good day.

Now I'm gonna stay up all night playing King's Quest VII. It's the most beautiful game ever... And maybe my records will come tomorrow! Yay!
