Chris

I was a lover before this war.

About Me

My name is Chris. I am a musician. I'm studying jazz electric bass and composition at Pasadena City College. I enjoy diminished scales, good Mexican food (right, as opposed to bad), and the ocean. I have a proclivity towards liking girls who don't like me. I like winter a lot (the beach in winter, at night, it doesn't get any better). I like free food (it's the college student in me). I'm not the biggest fan of chicken or poultry, and I dislike antagonism. Oh, in addition, I like good hugs (again, as opposed to bad). Also, I haven't been getting enough sleep lately.

How happy is the blameless vestal's lot
The world forgetting by the world forgot
Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind
Each prayer accepted and each wish resigned

A thought.

I should endeavor to be less sensitive.

I did a lot of research on Ritalin this week.

And I am even more fucking appalled that this shit is being given to children than ever before. The United States Drug Enforcement Association puts Ritalin, also known as Methylphenidate, in the same ...

Lost.

    Once I dreamt I was lost.  There was nobody to find me, no one to accompany me.  The ground was a field of white sparkling flame, rolling in silent tumult.  The sky ...

Thoughts about friendship.

I saw Radiohead and went backstage.

    On Thursday I had been toying with the idea of just going up to the Greek Theatre on Friday night.  At the end of the day on Friday I had kinda decided I was gonna go up there...

Fallen leaves.

Behold the evidence of a soul's changing tides: The unnecessary discarded, left to rot on the forest floor And every speck of green will be sloughed off Never to resume its vibrant shade While its hos...

So What.

I get lost in an endless sea of Dorian.
