driving in

driving to work with ellen this morning, while through an intersection i heard a gigantic BOOM! sound. i thought, shite! something fell on me. or my car just got shot. or my bumper fell off. then ellen was like, 'dude, i think the water bottle in your trunk just exploded.' oh. yeah. that thing thats been rolling around like a giant bowling ball all week, throughout these below freezing temps. only my trunk is currently sewn shut to preserve the semi-attached state of my bumper. gee whiz. i need to get out these ice chunks before temps warm up... and i have a mildewy trunk... ugh.

i'm listening to my own little custom mix-list at work. and a sublime song came on. it's a live cut and the beginning is filled with people laughing and talking, you know, background noise at a bar. and it just is kinda depressing in a weird way. like the fact that the 100- 1000 people in the room were there for a sublime concert. during the relatively brief life of brad nowell sublime played live constantly. and here it seems like these people werent fully appreciating their reggae skater punk music, which i think is a great genre and should have more bands cos its something i like....

anyways. i dont know. obviously, people are always talking at concerts. but it just feels like lots of times we have these limited opportunities to experience something like a great concert or just quality time with people we love. and we can get distracted carrying on and doing 10 other things at the same time. when really we should be focusing wholly on one experience at a time, because you never know when or if a similar experience will present itself again. everything's finite. especially time and life.

also, last night instead of going to sleep at a decent hour, i watched a movie on ifc. cos that makes sense. it was last night. sandra oh was in it w/ some other random canadian actors i dont know. it was another 'end of the world' movie. this one follows 6 ppl's stories, as they live their final day. it was kinda random but interesting. how people come together and split apart, etc. and what people would do and say if they knew the world was coming to an end very soon. interesting.

it's friday. whoop, i suppose.
