So there I was, living in America… your America… our America, the newest Cradle of Filth CD had left the presses weeks ago and the vile torrent of blast beats and demon crooning had hit American soil. I eagerly awaited the moment that I could free it from its cellophane coffin and plague my, my…
Strange Things - Keith Buckley
Have you ever been inexplicably drawn to someone? Having that instant feeling of chemistry with another person that takes hold of you and defies all logical thought? Even with million years of evolution, we still act on those primal desires, that deeply-rooted intuition that tells you that someone is worth it. Strange things happen when we get this undeniable feeling, it’s driven by pure raw emotion that pulls us in and never lets go.

Today I went to Zia Records and had Circa Survive sign my Zune. It was the only thing I had for them to sign, being unemployed and broke. It’s a first gen Zune too.. I love it though.
Mark and I were about 30 minutes late so we miss the in-store performance, but it’s okay.
They’re playing a show at The Nile in Mesa, AZ. I wish I could be there..
Anyway, that’s what I did. What did you do today??
Tonight Mark and I came home to the sight of Don Frye sitting on our bed playing Mark’s PSP… He could have asked. So inconsiderate.

On Letting Go
This makes me giggle. I love Metalocalypse.
Phantogram - Mouthful of Diamonds.
Even though it is not too hard-edged, it would probably work. I could see this playing during a montage of zombie battle footage shot in slow-motion.
Tool - Lateralus
Beck - Already Dead
I normally don’t reblog the results of these things, but this one was pretty great.
This Is My Country - Curtis Mayfield & The Impressions. Oh, wow.
Hospitality - Funeral For A Friend. I was hoping for something more… Metal?
This is a picture of my Grandma and I.
She died early December 1998. I was 15. By far the worse day of my life. She died from Pancreatic Cancer. Doctor gave her 6 months. She lasted just over a year.
I never saw this picture until we went back home to upstate New York for my Aunts surprise Birthday party about 2 years ago. I cried when I saw it and I nearly stole it. My cousin posted it on Facebook about a week ago.
I love this picture…
I think it says a lot about how I felt about her. I loved being with her. I would call her EVERY night. I would always go to her house when I was sick. We would play Go Fish, War and Flap Jack all the time. I won about 80% of all matches.
I miss how she always smelled like Oil of Olay (That’s the #1 reason I use Olay myself). I miss her deep smokers voice. The crackle of her laugh. How she always forgot my name. She would go down the line calling me by my mother’s, sister’s and brother’s name and give up when she finally got to mine. And when she would remember my name she would call me Jenna-Lynn. I know, a weird thing to miss. But I loved her old Grandma memory.
She was the first to tell me I could be and do anything I wanted. Even when I changed my future occupation every week.
I could go on forever. I made so many great memories with her… There are only two things I regret: Not saying Goodbye and losing her wedding band.
Saying goodbye was the hardest thing to do. Just seeing her all weak and sick in that hospital room tore me apart. I wish I could have told her I loved her one last time. And I know she knew, But I think saying the words one last time would have given her something to take with her.
As for the wedding band, my sister’s couch ate it. I had this nervous habit of playing with it. Slipping it on and off my finger. I’ve dropped it numerous times. This one time I never returned to me. Periodically I’ll dig through the couch hoping to find it. I’m pretty sure it’s gone for good.
I know I don’t post very often and when I do I don’t get this personal. But I finally have this picture and wanted to share my love for my Grandma. I still miss her everyday..
XO,
Jennifer
