17 years ago and a million miles away

I went skateboarding with my ex girlfriend behind Wallmart and afterwards we’re sitting in my van, she smoked me up, it was good weed and as usual it kicked my ass. This song came on the radio, I felt out of it, like in a haze enough as it was without smoking. I’d come back from somewhere and wasn’t there at all. It’s like, now that everything but the details have come back to me, my life would get interesting for a while and then all would go black. I can’t rationalize everything or put it all into any kind of time line that makes sense and doesn’t contradict it’s self. Nothing was normal about that year, 1999 I believe, I have no idea what happened in that space of time.

Then Nine Inch Nails Hurt came on, the intro noise…the intro noise to that song and at the end when it says “If I could start again a million miles away” I was just standing in my kitchen drinking a beer and saying to myself I can’t believe I ended up this alone, in this…bizarre a circumstance.

Offspring are pretty cool. My favorite album is ‘‘smash’’. You’ve gotta keep 'em seperated.

Yeah that’s a damn good album. I had it on cassette in like fifth/sixth grade when I began to get into music beyond what I heard on the radio and what my brother listened to. That and greenday, I pretty much learned to play the drums to greenday but 311 and a teacher with a funk/rythm and blues background shaped my style.


This was rooted in the dream of redemptionredemption for a girl and a new dream arrived

That sounds like a mushroom trip to me.
