| No rant today.I'm going to make this post nice, in the sense that I'll say something other than rant.
Blogs are commonly used for daily musings about life, and here is one of mine.
My wisdom teeth are coming in. I sure as hell don't feel any smarter. More mature really, a little older (I'm 22 now), and when I look back on it, I think the real reason I've been getting so many headaches lately was because of my wisdom teeth. I thought it was the drop in exercise (im back running as much as i used to, as well as eating like i used to the normal 5 times a day shit), or loss of sleep (i am on a good sleep schedule now), or maybe it was just stress (i'm not as stressed as i was before). Nope, I'm 97% sure that they were the result of my wisdom teeth.
Guitar Hero was a game I saw in a negative light before I actually tried it. It's not bad, just...real guitar is easier. It's fun, but you know, really expensive. I'm reading In Cold Blood right now, and no it's not as gay as Capote [chuckle, its a good book actually]. I'm trying to get my thoughts back in order 'cos my voice is getting a workout lately, and my music is sounding fresher. Old songs are sounding better than they did before since I learned a lot of little recording tricks. My computer which had a badass soundcard is now dead. Speaking of computers, I'm sure that I know how to help people with their computers. It's what I do best. That's a good quality about being someone who grew up on a computer, yeah I'm a nerd but hey it's fun. I know a lot of guy fix computers to get with girls and stuff, but meh, I do it for fun. Like guitar, I actually do listen to my own music. Yes I know that sounds weird and prolly wrong, but yes, when I'm done with an album I play it out like any other cd I have. I disconnect myself from my voice cos I don't like the way I sing, but still I listen to it. I critique it, and yes, there are songs of mine that are rated one star on my zen.
I found a copy of this album "Halfway between here and there" by the Rx Bandits (one of my favorite bands) signed! For a dollar!
I'm considering doing electronica lately. It's fun to mess with drumbeats and midi and such. Maybe electronica will get me to put drum tracks in my music. I tend to keep it simple with a guitar and such, and I have new music up on my myspace (clicky the word). You might like it.
I mentioned earlier that I ran. For those of you who don't know. Running for me is a form of meditation, not really exercise. I do it to clear my mind, it's easier to write music or think or just be more productive (or kick ass at videogames! ...greg...thomas...ed....eh...eh....nahh....). It's just, my relaxing alone time. Yes, on occassion I do take an mp3 player, I do that to block out the noise of people around me sometimes, cos it just helps me to be more concentrated on my breathing and such. I suggest finding your own form. [Yes playing guitar and singing is another form for me.]
Yeah, anyways, I have to get back to doing what I was doing, this is scheduled to be posted at 2:00 pm on July 2nd. I like that new future post feature on xanga, it's sweet to use to put your posts on a deadline or a timer, so you don't have to worry about being online when a post gets released.

| Another phrase that makes me cringe.You know, I've heard this phrase numerous times, I've been told it, I've seen it as the title of a song. It's normally used when people want you to listen to them even when they are wrong. It is the cliffs notes version of "I'm a dick, so you better hear me out."
You know what phrase this is? It's used even more in political discussions of NWO and bullshit like that. Who ever said an NWO is a bad thing? Who ever said that we're not already in a world like that? For fucks sake people, don't use this phrase around me ever (again).
The two word phrase/Rage Against the Machine song: Wake Up.
For fucks sake, I'm awake. (hey that rhymed)
Shit man, my two eyes are open, and I'm looking at you. Am I not awake? You that pretentious to imply that I'm not paying attention?
You are dense. Apparently, it never crossed your mind, that I am listening, and I am awake. I just do not give two shits about the words that are coming out of your mouth (or keyboard, or pen, or whatever the fuck kind of communication you are using). Never use that phrase again, asshole. I swear that if I hear that again, I will soar through the air, and send my dog to pull out your vocal cords.
Ok, maybe not, but still. Shut the fuck up.

| Listen.One of the most disturbing things about people is the inability to listen. You know someone does not listen to anything when they ask you a question, and simply ignore your answer. Even worse, when someone asks you for advice and they never take anything you said into consideration, but instead dump everything into a mental filing cabinet labeled "Selfish Advice from a Selfish Person". I'm not saying any one person has done this to me. Nor am I implying that I am all knowing. I'm simply stating the obvious. Although people may not actually label that cabinet as "Selfish advice", they may label is "Dumb advice" or "Bad" or "Wrong" or "Not what I want to hear". Ninety plus percent of the time I believe its the final label which gets used up.
I say this, because, I an currently as a loss of emotion for the amount of time, people have asked me for advice, and it has been ineptly ignored. How awesome is that? For someone to ask you your opinion, and say: "...nevermind", halfway through the response? I know, it's beautiful. I love society [insert sarcastic inflection with the appropriate scoff here]. [Insert, lame emo heart here <3].
Seriously, it's amazing. People do not like to be told the truth, because sometimes it is painful. I'm getting tired of people not realizing that they are not always 100% right. There is no such thing as perfect (more on that word later), and that you can never one-up anyone without seeming like a jerk. I live by this motto, as inappropriate as it may seem.
Don't be dense, shut the fuck up.
Does that seem beautifully simple to you? If it does not, then you should go outside, find yourself a library, and walk to the philosophy section, or the psychology section, and start reading up on how you should think. Because I will tell you one thing. You will never, ever be right. Even something in this article I am saying can be refuted, but this is not a two way discussion, this is a statement. You can refute it to yourself all you want, but please, for the sake of mankind, just listen. There is no one answer to everything. Unless you are Hitler, you should know this.
Speaking of the right answer, the word perfect should be taken into context a bit more lightly. Whenever I have heard someone use (or hell, whenever I've used it) the word "perfect", I've heard someone say "perfect is purely a point of view" or "there is no such thing as perfect". Sit back and read those two statements, and tell me why you just said anything. Can you answer it to yourself? Can you figure out why someone would say something like that?
I'll give you the short answer, which I've observed. People love to be right. Let me break that down. A person will have a severely positive reaction to the notion that their ego is being fed positively by saying what they perceive as the right answer. You can argue that I myself am doing just that. However, I do not care if anyone thinks I am right or wrong. Seriously. I have already stated that two paragraphs above.
I understand that whole thing of "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" and whatnot, I even understand how it has been used out of context numerous times. The hard part is getting people to understand, that saying something is "perfect" is just what it is: an opinion. So once more, don't be dense.
Listen to what you say before you say it. Run it over in your head, because if it sounds wrong to you, it probably will not sound right coming out in a full sentence.
I'm getting tired of people always being in competition with each other. I have that belief that the people of the world will not become a properly unified group of people, under a true democracy (not our horribly torn apart united states idea of a democracy) will not be achieved until some major world wide catastrophe comes upon us. It may sound absurd, but an alien invasion or a meteor striking the earth may just be a very real slap across our faces to actually get us to attempt to help each other.
Yes, I know that may sound crazy or insane, but you have to put it into perspective and philosophize on the subject.
The answer I have for my own personal advice is simple since I know for a fact I do not ask for advice because I know, that no book or person could possibly give me the advice I need. In that, most of the times I have had trouble, I have had to look into my own experience and emotions for advice.
Just food for thought, and remember to just listen.
Don't be dense, shut the fuck up.

| QuestionsWhere did (do) you get your information?
This question is the epitome of asshole. Seriously, are you that fucking dense as for me to not realize that you are actually saying: "Are you stupid?" See that's the problem with language, people do not know how to interpret it. When people ask that question, I immediately stop talking to them. That's just so cocky. It's a proverbial kick in the nuts to imply that you are an idiot, in any way shape or form.
I recently read this article about a guy who openly admitted he loves cars. (Let me give you a minute to reread that sentence.) Ok, now think about that for a while. Would you believe me if I told you he has sex with cars? Well, he does. This guy is fucking insane. If anyone is that fucked up or left alone, to where he loves an inanimate object...wait...
Ok, I'm not going to vote this year. Why? Because all the canditates are jokes. There's no point in voting for the same guy if it really doesn't matter which one wins.
More ranting later....

| Last.fmI have a last fm page up for my music.
http://www.last.fm/music/Jacob+Steven+Limon
my myspace is still
www.myspace.com/jacobstevenlimon
I'm currently working on four new songs.
I probably will not put all four up, until after I'm done with my next album. I have the cover artwork already complete, I'm still working on the reverse side. Lulu seems a fitting place to market the album, and (just like the iced ep) I will give 5 people an advance copy which will serve as the basis on how I will order the tracks, and so on...
I'm looking around, and my dead line is somewhere by the end of next month if not July, I will be hard at work on this album and my xanga rants will be far, and between (if I have any).
Happy listening!
