Change - is it good?
Current mood: confused
Category: Music

What happened? I have no idea; but all of a sudden WHAM!! My taste in music is changing... If you will recall (and you should have my entire [MyStuff] page memorized) Under the "Music" section I had written:

“I only cannot stand extreme country (ie., She think's my tractor is sexy... ick), "gansta rap" (TuPac, etc.) and really HEAVY metal (hello? can we say headache in the making??) To give you a current glimpse my current ringtones are "Pour Some Sugar On Me" by Def Leppard, AuquaGirl's "Barbie Girl," "Rehab" by Amy Winehouse, "La Camisa Negra" and "A Dios le Pido" both by Juanes and of course Enrique's "Do You Know?" “

Well obviously since that was written YEARS ago, it has shifted tiny bits. Plus, since my phone was stolen while in New Orleans I no longer have those ring tones... (REMINDER: If you and I have not spoken since mid-august YOU need to call me - I do NOT have your number). However, more recently I have noticed an EXTREME shift in my tastes... *Sigh* and I am sure you might have noticed it as well... I am starting to like the HEAVY rock... How, when and why? There are theories.

One very large theory that my roomies are thinking is that I miss my brother (TOTAL theory) - he used to play this stuff CONSTANTLY - hell, he dragged me to a Killswitch concert last year (ok, he didn't DRAG me there, I went willingly, for numerous reasons). His last band was kinda heavy and I went to some of those shows; and he would show me new bands and music that he found all the time. So, now "apparently" I am trying to make it seem that he is still around by playing and downloading this music.

Another theory is that I just have a lot of time now. So I am exploring new music to fill my time (it beats standing in front of the fridge stuffing my face!) I like this one. My reading has also been a bit darker recently and watching True Blood (which isn't really dark, but its about vampires for cris' sakes! Vampires = night = dark; do the math!)

And the last theory I have for you today is that I am at a point where I have no idea where I am going. I have been thinking the future (obviously), and it is a big question mark. I also think I just need a change... I have also thinking about cutting my hair, and dyeing it and getting that second tattoo I have been wanting.
So to give you a better picture of my "new" music tastes: I have put onto my phone over the last two weeks: Perfect Circle, Killswtich Engage, Trivium, System of a Down and Korn. However! I am still hanging onto my core music - I have MIA - Paper Planes, Iggy Pop - Lust for Life, Beatles - With a little help from my friends, Lil Wayne - A Milli, and the Soul Bossa Nova from Austin Powers. And writing this list down, I have realized that my "core" music is losing... How in the bloody 'ell did that happen?

2008 Note: PAC*: THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!!!!

2010 Note: Since March of 2009 Pac* moved back to FL from GA and I got a new phone/service this past christmas. Things are going back to normal. Except my ringtones - I don't have any now. And I still listen to some heavy metal/rock... Atreyu anyone?
