On a vinyl kick right now.
Without school this winter break has seemed to be nonexistent. My sleep schedule is way off. When I was younger I had no problem falling asleep late and waking up early. Lately I feel unproductive with my current schedule. Don't know how to fix it. I might as well enjoy it because it will be my last break before I graduate. Then it is all work from there. Can't really believe what a step that will be. I mean I guess that is what my education has been about. From kindergarten all the way to a college graduate.
I though about going to grad school. Don't think I could really get anywhere or what purpose it would really serve. I mean it would be good to have a masters in this day and age. However the way my degree is now I don't know what I would apply for. Like always I've thought about going to the Conservatory of Recording Arts and Sciences in Phoenix. This would be nice, however I can get real world experience doing what I'm doing now.
I've been listening to Sigur Ros for what seems to be years now. They just released a DVD called Heima. I spent 30 dollars on it which turned out to be the deluxe version of the disc. This DVD is absolutely incredible. Just the beauty and everything that they do made me feel real small.
As I was watching them preform in various spots throughout Iceland I became so overwhelmed with various feelings and emotions that my eyes began to swell up with tears. I don't know what aesthetic of the feature that did it, however it was powerful.
Whatever it is they do it seems almost God like. I don't know how else to explain it besides referring to them as some sort of spiritual beings that have graced this planet with so much beauty as cliche as that sounds it's the truth. One thing about the band is they sing in Icelandic which means I don't know exactly what they are saying, however in some foreign way I do.
It was an experience that I must say only happens so many times in ones life. It's moments like that when you forget all your thoughts and stress and just let your body breathe. Therapeutic might explain it but it wasn't something planned. It was just surreal and I'm privileged that an immortal like myself got to be part of it in some fashion.
Good Night
