I have myself on a good regimen: do a comic and a musical composition every day.
I'm constantly aware of the Retrospect Pretentiousness-Toolbag Factor. It should be a law of existence. I will even look back on these sentences and think I was dumb for writing them.

!@#$1234
I don't know how to feel about myself. I'm debating whether I have any talent. Maybe I'm just afflicted with confidence. I'm gonna try to enter Tim and Eric's promo contest for season five. It'll be my first official video project. I did some recording this weekend for Chris's tongue-in-cheek metalcore project called "verbnounverb". Although I only used two really generic vocal tones, I'm happy with the outcome. He told me that he wanted the name of the song to be "Physics Is Phun," so I wrote it as if I were Einstein with a migraine. There's some funny reference to Einstein stuff. I think my favorite part is:
Frankie
You want a bomb?
Find uranium
And build it yourself
There's also a part about James Clerk Maxwell and a part about relativity. The final breakdown is E=MC^2.
Super Bowl today. I have the Colts in the bet, but I think the Saints have the valiant factor.
I've been whining to myself lately about how I wish I had the capability to make my own music. The thing is, I do have that capability. I'm just not interested in putting in the work. I hate that about myself. I think I'll just forever continue to search for a band that I can be a vocalist for. Being a vocalist is easy. Too easy. They put in about 1/20 of the effort that the rest of the musicians put in. Granted, there are some notably "great" vocalists, but that doesn't change the fact that they really don't have to work very hard to produce their results. I want to be like Peet from iamerror. He calls himself Monomate now and he does these great instrumentals which I'm pretty sure he does entirely with Fruity Loops. Fuck. I hope brain waves can be converted into visual and audio before I die. I have great music in my head. I'm sure everybody does though.
I find myself getting really fired up over the war on drugs lately. If I weren't afraid that it would affect the rest of my dreams in life, I think I would want to be the Martin Luther King of the drug revolution. My policy would be to legalize marijuana, psilocybin, peyote(mescaline), and LSD. Every other drug, I would want decriminalized and education put into effect to warn of the dangers (the real dangers, not the government propagandized dangers) of all drugs. Conveniently, no real dangers have been tied to marijuana and no conclusive dangers have been tied to psilocybin, mescaline, or LSD as far as I've seen in my dabbled research. Apparently most of the shit we've heard about these drugs is complete garbage. One thing that has scared me most about LSD is the "flashbacks," but I'm reading in a lot of places that accounts of flashbacks are extremely exaggerated and hyberbolized. Also, LSD doesn't stay in your spinal cord.
I found out recently that Tim and Eric went to Temple and that Tim grew up in Allentown. That's pretty neat.
That's all for now I think. Oh, I can't wait for Final Fantasy XIII. They fixed the stupid battle system that they imposed in FFXII. It's still not the original battle system though. What it is now is that you can see the enemies on the world map, but now when you come into contact with them, it does the whoosh cutscene thing and then you battle. In FFXII, all the battling took place right in the main walking-around gameplay. The original, of course, is random whoosh cutscenes as you're walking around without warning. That's why FFX will remain the best title in the series.
