Hello, I'm back! Well actually, I've been elsewhere online. But I do try to drop by here every now and then to see how you're all doing. I'm sure that you all have gone through phases in your lives, you get interested in one thing and really dive into it, until something new comes along and you move on to that. For example: I was once really into the movie Men in Black, which got me into Tommy Lee Jones and his movies. I've probably seen MIB 30-40 times until I finally got over that phase and moved on to a new one. I'm not gonna get into what every single phase I have been in, but what I have learned is that when they say that "nothing lasts forever" it really is true. no matter what phase I've been in, at that time I always thought that I was gonna love it forever. I still like the movie MIB, but I haven't seen it in quite a while now.
I have also gone through musical phases. Most of them come and go. I'll listen to one band for a while, then I get in the mood for another, but unfortunately there are some that I have gotten sick of! I was once really into Rage Against the Machine, so much that I got into the left-wing politics of that band. What's ironic is that before Rage, I was a republican because my parents were and I followed their politics blindly. But then after Rage, I re-registered as an independent, but this time I followed the politics of that rock band blindly. That leaves three reasons why I'm not into Rage anymore, one, I've learned that I don't have to agree with the same issues that a band believes in, two, there is a time and place for political music. (Bruce Springsteen & Tom Morello's duet on "The Ghost of Tom Joad" is an exception due to the economy) but because of the crime shows I watch, I have a new respect for cops, which is why I can't listen to Rage's song "Killing in the name of" even though I know that song is about the cops who are dirty and do racial profiling. Third, my ex-boyfriend Richard was so obsessed with that band, and I mean OBSESSED! He was beyond fanatic. He made me sick of them! There are also certain songs that got ruined because of my ex-friends being into them. I can never listen to the Rolling Stones' "Beast of Burden" because my ex-friend Lisa liked that song, but it's OK cause I never liked that song anyways, but when ever it comes on the radio, I have to change the station quickly. Ironically I can still listen to the band Korn because I got into them before I met Lisa, and after our friendship ended for good, Korn comes out with their "Untitled" album, which is the only one I have not listened to with my ex-friend. But I still listen to their other albums, but since I am really into the Law & Order shows, I imagine their songs going along with a lot of the characters, especially SVU. I guess you can say that I have successfully taken my ex-friend out of the picture whenever I listen to Korn. Now if only I could do the same with Rage Against the Machine!
Right now, I am really into two different things: All three Law & Order's, and Metallica! I know that the Metallica part will come and go. But as for Law & Order, I now know that won't last forever, especially since those shows won't be around forever. However, at least I'll enjoy my time as a L&O fan.
One more note before I go. I haven't been able to keep up with Facebook, so I tried to delete the account, but it looks like they won't let you, so I've deactivated it. I didn't like it very much anyways. But I do have a Livejournal account, which I love! My favorite feature is the Friend's page because all new comments by my friends are all in one place. I'll still be here on Blogger, but not very often, but I'm keeping because it has served a good purpose as a diary of my life. I'm considering deleting my MySpace account, but I'm sleeping on that right now.
Well, that's all for now. Take care.
