So I got a cool new CD player for Christmas (thanks mom) and it has, no surprise, rekindled my love affair with long days of doing basically nothing but listening to tunes. Current rotation (it holds 5 CD's at once):
The White Stripes - self titled
16 Horsepower - Hoarse (yes, again)
The White Stripes - White Blood Cells
Destroyer - Thief (the old one)
Johnny Cash - Greatest Hits

What can I say? I'm in a country/blues kinda mood lately. Ehch. Other than that, I kinda feel like I've run out of things to say today. I've run out of steam in general I suppose. I just went back to The Site after my Christmas hiatus, and found out that one of my favorite posters killed himself over the holidays. He had been in a really bad place for a really long time. He was HIV positive and his mother passed away a few years ago. He had the best sense of humor out of anyone else in that place. I read his LJ a few times. He was really hurting. I said a 'non-religion-specific' prayer for him last night. Is it possible to be sad for someone you've never met? Of course it is. Why am I posing such a silly question. Anyway, kudos to him for having the guts to hold out as long as he did, and sympathy and respect to him for having the balls to do what he though needed to be done in the end. Man, it just really sucks, you know? It's always heart breaking when you hear about someone who actually went through with it. I hope he's happy where ever he is now. ehch.
