i wasn't going to update again already, but i had too many things running through my head tonight some of which i will share now and some that i will share later... anyway, i had to get this out otherwise i don't think i could get to sleep...
i've been working on making a mix c.d. of the songs that have mattered to me over the course of the past few years and it occurred to me (and i don't know why it took this long) that our music IS going to become old... i heard jewel on an oldies station before we moved to oklahoma and that struck me as so weird... when did 1994 become so far in the past? i mean, marilyn manson is going to sound to our children the way that the grateful dead sounds to us... (nothing against the dead, i am a dead fan... i meant sound quality and age, not that they suck or anything) and that just seems so weird to me... i don't ever want to be an old fart who only listens to the shit of my youth, but i can already see myself becoming that way... i have become under exposed to popular culture and that KILLS me...
also, i was thinking about the great bands of the past, the obvious choices being the dead, zepplin, the who, pink floyd, aerosmith, etc... and i have to wonder if our generation has made or will make anything that in 10 or so years will be considered "great" or timeless... what will we hear on our oldies station aside from whitney houston or fucking jewel? what will we pass on to our children? what kind of messages will we be able to give them through our music? fuckin angst? i don't know... my head is swimming and i am really confused and depressed...
let's face it... it is up to us to get what we consider "good music" out there... radio stations and fuckin mtv isn't going to do it for us... i have nothing against major labels and i am an anti-indie rock girl, but let's face it... our generation and our music is being underrepresented...
so...
name one band of your generation that you feel should be considered timeless and one band/song that you want people to hear... i think everyone should put more effort into getting what they feel is great music out there and heard by others who might not otherwise get to hear it... maybe there's still time for us to make something timeless... aside from fucking jewel...
much love and i need to go to sleep

Are you moving back here this year? I told shmidol that the three of us are going to have a fluffy down comforter and pajama party minus the pajamas! I'll bring the bubbly. I say lets get a hotel room with a big ole garden tub, fill it with lots of warm water and floating toys, light a few candles, and commence to the water sports! hahaha... Man, that would be fun..A whole bunch of sexy chicks and me in a BIG tub having fun and getting drunk! woohoo!!!
OK I need to stop this, no one is going to talk to me anymore if I keep scaring them with visions of me naked and in a tub sucking on toes and bits and being an extremely naughty girl...
Funny thing is...my BF told me I'd make the perfect lesbian because I'm so talented with my tongue, he swears I'm dreaming he is a woman! Hmmm... now that's a thought. Actually now that I think about it, I AM pretty good with this thing.
So, anyway...where was I?
WHEN are you coming back here to visit again???? Or even better...to stay? We wanted to see you but you left too soon.
Keep in touch with me when I'm gone and I'll write you back.
Send me pix, I need some kinda loving while I'm gone and you are sooooo sexy woman!!
Don't be afraid, under these horns I'm really a nice girl...
thanks for making me laugh
