i have come to the conclusion . . . that the news is a horrible mind controlling drug that alters the way i feel and perceive my outside world. a simple story can alter my outlook from new morning awesomeness of breakfast and sunshine, into hard on rage; a simple story can make me rant like a lunatic on an online forum, that really, is something there for music nerds. a simple story from a simple news source. i hate what news is and what news has become. i dont want to know what happens over there, or over here for that matter . . . i just want to understand myself. damn news.
