i wish i could share my music taste with others in an very accessible way... music web sites are very hard to navigate... there is way too much and it's hard to get excited about a band or performer after reading an article...
most people don't have the time or resource to find new music... and there is so much out there... where do you start?
i want to make that bridge... i want to help people discover music... but how? i usually spend hours of my time looking at music blogs and music sites... i'm always looking for videos by unknown artist... i'm checking out what other people like... i listen to about 15 different music podcast... and i download and listen to anything i can get my hands on... and still... my music knowledge is little... i'm greedy... i want more!!
so... how should i do this? how do i share my music taste and learn about new music at the same time? lastfm bores me... i never find new bands because it seems that most people are listening to the same old stuff..
so... i can create my own resource but... how can i be different? i can start another music blog that only a section of the population will listen to... i could have a podcast which will have the same outcome (only a few people will devote their time to me) and i would have to worry about copyrights...
so... how do i do it? how do i bring people out of there safety zone with music? you know... people only want to listen what they feel safe with... people will say "i listen to everything but country and rap"... and actuality they only listen to classic rock and indie... but there is so much more to discover in every genre of music...
ummm... i need to think about this more...
anyone have ideas?

I forgot I had this thing. It took someone adding me as a friend to bring me back. Why did I leave. Oh yeah, it was those fucking movie and book list. I got so much shit for making those. People told me I was wasting my time. At the time I didn't really care bbut after SG left a bitter taste in my mouth (no BG involved). But I'm back. Maybe i'll use this thing once again.

well i was coming home from work to work on everything that i needed to but faith stepped in again and came crashing down on me...
one of the water pipes froze and busted in the basement... causing a major flood...
it's been kind of hurricane Katrina like here... most of the power went off and the two kids who live in the basement had a lot of damage to their stuff...
luckily President Bush was not in charge of this operation and they had people within a few minutes to fix the problem...
our power is back on and the pipe was patched... so all is well...
the only lasting damage was the damage of personal property... small appliances, books and painting were permanently destroyed...
I'm kind of lucky because i live on the third floor... so all my stuff was safe...
kind of crazy here!
something about big or small disasters... they always bring people together... for dinner we ordered pizza and all huddled into the upstairs kitchen... all of us laughing about what happened.... one big happy family...
moments like that make me feel real happy to be in a co-op

strange night....
i went to a art show at Vail House instead of Detroit to see Carolyn...
it was low key and the girl that i left the other girl for was there... and... well we waved at each other and that was it...
i was thinking in my mind of how i was going to be bold and go right up to here and let her know that i liked her...
but in reality... well... we just waved...
i left early to come here to type this... well... not really my motivation but i'm here anyway...
the party was nerdy...
but i liked it...
i could go back... go back and talk to her... but that would be weird...
ugh... someone talk to me... chat with me now... tell me your alone on a Saturday night too... and just want to talk to someone...
aim - mikerichpier
yahoo - mikerichpier
msn - thebuffalorunner
ha... that's sound really desperate...

she came over... well... to watch a movie with me... and it really didn't go anywhere... in the end, when i went out for a smoke with Travis, she came walking out with her jacket on telling me it was time to go... i didn't put up a fight... just said "your leaving?"
the whole night felt sterile... a part of me wanted to say more... something nice... but it never felt right...
in a way I'm leaving her for another girl... I'm taking the train away from her for a dream that will never lead me anywhere...
she is not the one... at least I'm not the one for her...
that's why i kept my distance... kept it cold... cause she has been playing babysitter with her last few boyfriends... and... well... I'm not the one..
it's been a long time since I've been with a girl... emotionally...
and emotionally I'm a wreck...
I'm not the one for her because she deserves better this time around...
but i have to say that i wish things were different...
I'm not going to change me for her... she is not the one...
the change can never be for another person... always for me...
she is not the one...

ooooo the last hour was wasted away looking at you-tube videos... i wish i could have that hour back...
now I'm awfully drowsy... i was thinking at a point that i would like a video camera to make videos... and put them on you-tube
but... it would be extremely dull...
i can barely type stuff that holds people's interest here...
i had another blog and no one was visiting my site so... i started to make up a stories about a crazy life...
ummm...they didn't care about my made up life as much as they didn't care about the real one...
but i guess people don't read other people blogs unless their name comes up in that post...
i read other people blog here but i never know what to say to people...
"hey!!! awful day? ahhhh... did you poop your poopy pants
" ha... i think I'm going to start saying that on everyone's blog...
and i never know what to say when people respond to my post.... people will say stuff like "i like some of your post!"... i want to obsess and respond... "REALLYYYY!!!!! oh do tell me which ones!!! " but instead i say "hey thanks!".... you know... trying to be cool...
and why the hell are people questioning if this country is ready to have a black man or a woman as the president of the united states... isn't 230 years enough to allow at least one person of color to get the Grand Poobah jobby thing ... i mean, fuck, it's only four damn years... give this man a chance...
fuck...
poopy...
pants
and and and.... when people write mean things to me... like "this sucks"... what do you say to that? "hey thanks! i like to be anal raped too!" i mean... i know i suck... but do you really have to tell me about it?
suck suck suck...
