It's not my thing.
Not that I'm an atheist or anything. I think atheism is just as much an act of faith as being devout. I guess I'm agnostic. I find religion to be very interesting though, and religious art. I do, however, believe in the supernatural, which I guess is sort of contradictory. I try to be kind where it counts, when it's deserved. After observing the nature of someone's character. This goes for everyday real life. I find animals to be more appealing than people... especially as I get older. As far as these interactions go? It's the only interactions I make on the internet. I just to like to write, share my thoughts. I tend to go overboard, but whatever. I'm sure I annoy the hell of many people here, but I think most people are afraid to be themselves, either that or it's just a lack of forthrightness and imagination. But should anybody be themselves really? Probably prudence is the wisest course, but I'm woefully unwise about certain things relating to people. Or maybe I'm just a narcissistic (in a sense) goof lol. A talented goof though, or so I've been told my whole life. Talent goes not very far without ambition to succeed in the public arena. And luck.
As far as the singing goes, more power to ya man. I can't sing, or at least I don't have the balls to sing in public.
On the topic of music
I like a lot of music, I mean alot of types across all genres. Some is pure noise, others very beautiful. You'll be hard pressed to find a genre I'm not at least familiar with.
I've been obsessed with this female songwriter for the past few years, Chelsea Wolfe. It's like folk/doom/goth/darkwave/noise stuff. It's not like she's a sort of sex symbol or anything, but her art makes her captivating to me. Very dark, but very haunting stuff. I saw her perform a few years ago, before I was a fan. I was really blown away by the presence. Like a lightning bolt. Then covid happened and I've been waiting for her to tour the east coast again. In that time my mother passed away and I ended a lingering, sort of codependent, difficult relationship. Both things happening almost simultaneously. There was a lot of regrets. So there was resonance.
Anyway, it's difficult to pick a certain album or performance, she genre skips alot. Her album Abyss is probably my favorite. Here's a decent performance, though she seems very tired here. I like all of her performances really, for different reasons, but this is as good as any to start...
Oh, and cheers. I quit drinking a few years ago.
