Good Morning Sun

A lot of people will read that title and think I am transgressing. Falling back into a hole. But I'm not. Not at all. For the first time in (*counts on fingers*) 8 weeks, I woke up and was glad to be alive. Something so simple as making a decision that, in hindsight, wasn't really even mine to make, makes me happy.

On my sidebar, I now have Liv's Livejournal linked. Naturally, she uses this oppurtunity to link to a pic of mine that, were I the same kid I was this winter, I would have called "faggy." But now I just know that I look stupid, nearly always looked stupid with glasses on. Thank god there are some people in this world who were able to look beyond those frames. In any case, I guess that picture shows how much fun I have.

Umm, Dream Theatre's new album, Octavarium rocks. The title song "Octavarium" is a tribute to the excellent band, Muse ...and that's a good thing. I would normally never recommend a band that was described as "metal" but this is too good to be true. Every song is genius. And they're not all "uber-metal electric guitar" songs. They're all different, and they're all good.

Oh yeah, so today is going to be good. I mean, any day in which I wake up and have the insane desire to listen to Ted Leo & The Pharmacists' "Me and Mia," is a great day right off the bat. Add in a little Bright Eyes, a pinch of Ben Folds, and I'm already set. I could go to sleep now and be content.
