You can judge a person by their playlist

This question came to me as I was flipping through the R&B/Soul section of the whatever people call it record store on Record Store Day. Whenever you ask someone what their favorite kind of music is, don't they usually reply with a boring "Well everything really, except for country."? It happens to me every time I ask that question. It's either that or country only, there's nothing else. If you asked me, I'd narrow it down whatever's on KUTX, except for the folk music. I can't take folk music, I can't even think straight when it's playing. I don't know how I started listening to that station either, but I've been listening to it since the first day it started last year in 2013. Another reason I listen to it is because of how sometimes the DJs with the slower/deeper voices can go on talking about nothing for twenty minutes without you noticing. It sounds something like:  "And it's kind of nice outside today, a little cloudy, but I like cloudy it gets me in that feeling, you know that feeling. I was at Threadgills and they had this thing were, and the sky, cloudy, this concert, they havent been here in a long time, the last time they were, I remember they did this thing and it was also cloudy on that day."

And then you realize what the hell you were listening to for the past twenty minutes.
But I had a conversation with a friend about that station, and they said they listened to it too and I could actually relate to the different shows that come on and it was really great. It was the first time I didn't have to say "Well, have you ever heard of this band?"
 "Nope."

Ghostland Observatory, remember  them?

So music must be some sort of identification card in this world that we live in. You can probably tell a lot about a person by the music they listen to. Maybe that's why their insecure, because they know I could tell something about that person if I checked out their playlist. Probably not what their favorite color is, but something like their age, coolness, stuff like that. It's not rocket science, but I bet a school like Harvard will come up with a study based on this blog with just a bunch of graphs and charts added into it.

My house is haunted (Spoiler Alert about ghosts)

Alright, so I know this sounds normal, but my house is haunted. I'm not just some guy who thinks his house is haunted, I AM a guy who KNOWS that his house is haunted. I had this "lucid" dream (if I'm using that word right) where I'm pretty sure something woke me up and turned me into a zombie one time. In my "dream" I went inside every room in my house and touched the floor, and then touched the ceiling. But I had to watch out for the candy Dots that flew around my house, looking for zombies. Unfortunately on my first trip, I was caught by a Dot, and I woke up. The second time, I was able to get to every room, even the one's people were sleeping in and do my zombie devil ritual thing, unconsciously, because I was possessed by the devil ghost in my house at the time. I noticed I was having these sleepwalking things when all of my pillows and sheets were upstairs and I sleep downstairs. I also have a spiral staircase in my house, and that makes it even more creepy. I also noticed that my house was haunted when my clothes were all moving on their own in my bedroom. They were moving in a wave motion, but they were my clothes so I wasn't too freaked out. So is my really haunted? I don't really know, but it probably isn't cause isn't everyone's house haunted? There are also so many things that have an influence on us that makes us think that things are haunted. I can't remember, but I'm sure I had watched a movie with ghosts, a book (probably not), or something else that made me think that if anything else had the same characteristics like in the movie, it's haunted. So if you're that kind of person who watches ghost shows and exorcist documentaries, chances are it's 1000% fake.                                                    

Going off topic: What's that smell? In the public library

"Can I borrow your library card?" - The stink in the library (Steve Buscemi in Big Daddy)

I like the library. I like it more than bookstores. But I've been visiting bookstores more often now. I don't think it's a bad thing though. It's just that feeling of ownership over a book that makes me feel good. But then, I don't know why I need to buy a book. I realized this when I was watching an episode of Seinfeld and George had just broken up with a woman when he realized he left his books at her house. Jerry asked if he had read them, he said yes, and then told him to forget about the books. So that's what I'm trying to do, forget about the books. Once I read them, they leave back to the 'SELL HERE' section of the bookstore. Along with the old CDs I have because who listens to CDs anymore, right? It's all about the vinyl now, but I can't stand it. But the weirdest part, and the hardest part about going to the library, is that smell. It's the smell, the same smell when you walk into one (especially Faulk). The gross, hot summer stench of a dead rat that keeps showing up around the computer area. Hobos don't really care about the ownership of a book, so that's why they end up in the library. But what is it? Does it make me look intellectual? Does it make me cool? Do I want people to know what I read? And what is that smell? Anyway, I'm just going off topic.

If you're homeless and visit the library, please don't.
