Dear PTB,

[ironymaiden]

since sometime this past weekend, i've been physically tense. in a fight or flight kind of way. i don't like being turned up to eleven this long, it's tiring.

i'd like the safe to fall on me sooner than later, thanks.

It already did, but it missed.

so this is just the adrenaline burning off? uh, okay.

I understand

My desire to smash things during this same interval is very, very high, and I seem to be undoing some of my chiropractic progress with this anger.

Recursive loop.

The Pearl Jam really isn't helping, but it's a soundtrack for my life.In fact, I'm on a near-constant rotation of the following:

"Ezekiel 25-17" (Pulp Fiction sountrack)
Bullet with Butterfly Wings (Smashing Pumpkins)
Red Right Hand (Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds)
The Distance (Cake)
One Night in Bangkok (Murray Head)
25 or 6 to 4 (Chicago)
Omegaman (the Police)
The Chosen One (The Darkest of the Hillside Thickets)
Burning Down the House (Talking Heads)
Rearviewmirror (Pearl Jam)
Nowhere Fast (Fire, Inc. From the Streets of Fire Soundtrack)
Solitary Man (Johnny Cash version)
All I Really Want (Alanis Morrisette)
Tainted Love (Shades Apart version)
I Melt With You (Modern English)
Down With the Sickness (Richard Cheese Version)

The theory is that by the time the last three songs play, I have it all out of my system (60 minutes play time)

It doesn't work as well as it used to, I'm afraid. More Dark Side points for me.

One Angry Dwarf and 200 Solemn Faces - Ben Folds Five
and
We Used to Be Friends - The Dandy Warhols

seem to work pretty well today. on a sidenote, the Ballard HS band played 25 or 6 to 4 while they marched in the Syttende Mai parade last night.

I can still nail that bass line every time. Ah, the good old days.

Re: I understand

[buhrger]

?? you're a bass player ??

Was. Guitar, trombone, and piano, too.

Various years of abuse and disuse have removed almost all musical ability besides voice from me. I keep an acoustic in the casa for occational self-hate, but it's been silent long enough to require re-tuning and a few dozen hours of scales.

But this tune is one string, and easy to keep time with.

I hate that feeling.

i'm obviously a bad whedonfan. i only recalled what PTB stands for this morning
