VEGAN POWER
Lately I’ve felt a little stagnant in my veganism: like I’m just doing it because it’s something I do. So, I wanted to reinvigorate my spirit a little bit. I figured a good way to do that would be talk about what made me decide to live a vegan lifestyle, and explain some of my thoughts on it. I’m mostly doing this for my own purposes, but I’d love for you to read this...

What it means to me
michiganmusicmatters:
I still have very vivid memories of my first local show. It was December of 2005, and this girl I really liked asked me to go see her friend’s band: Modulate to A. I remember standing in the dark Howell Recreation Center, watching a whole bunch of bands with kids just as awkward as me in them, and feeling stupid for not realizing that there was such a cool music scene right...

Ayn Randers
meganamram:
Dear Ayn,
I’m dating a man who I think I love, but I’m afraid he’s having an affair. He comes home late, he acts suspiciously, and he even has red lipstick on his collar. Should I confront him or just hope for the best?
- County Af-fair
Dear County,
Red lipstick? Your husband is a Communist. Divorce him and sell his clothes, children, and pens to make money to spend on cars, human...

Michigan Music Matters: An Introduction
imbeginningtoseethelight:
michiganmusicmatters:
The “Michigan Music Matters” idea came to me one night when my band, Good Weather for Airstrikes, was on tour this past December. We were in Tennessee or Georgia or something, really far away from home, and I was thinking about how much I love the place I am from. Specifically, the music, and all other forms of creation and expression, in the...

It will not happen the first time you forgive him.
Or the second. Or the third. It will not happen the fourth time you break down in public. When a wine glass is broken at a dinner party and you leave without saying goodbye. When a car door is slammed across the empty parking lot and you have the undeniable urge to call him. Tell him you miss him. It will not happen when...

Been really bummed lately, and not dealing with it well. I’m starting a solo project, so at least something will come from it. It isn’t making anything any easier to deal with, but it gives me something to look forward to. I think that’s what’s most important sometimes.
Two songs in so far. Hopefully I’ll be able to post something soon.
I’ve been carrying around a whole lot of bitterness lately. I think bitterness is one of the more unhealthy feelings, as it just lurks at eats away at you.
I just see a lot of things I don’t like, and I don’t know what to do about it. I feel insignificant. Not in a “people don’t like me” kind of way, but more an existential dilemma kind of way. Life and...
This is a rant.
One thing I will never really understand is jokes people “don’t really mean.” At best, it’s an insincere attempt at humor. At its worst, it’s flaunting your priviledge. It’s easy to make jokes when you aren’t the butt of them. It’s easy to make jokes when you’ve never experienced real prejudice.
I don’t care if your...
Objectivity
When I was in the fifth grade, I had a friend named Devin. We were riding home from school one day, and begin teasing each other and making immature jokes about mothers and penis sizes. I’m not proud. At some point in that exchange, I told him he was fat. And that was the end of it.
I went home and talked to my dad and told him how awful I felt. He told me we were just trying to...
