The Internet Murders Us
The terrible pictures below are from the Civic Theater in Akron, Ohio. Zoso is certainly the most authentic Led Zeppelin tribute band out there. The band doesn't even use wireless transmitters to connect to the speaker system - ancient technology ftw! See http://www.zosoontour.com (Zoso's website) for more info and touring information, but they were fantastic and I recommend that any Led Zeppelin fan goes to see them at least once in their lifetime. It's indescribable. :)
In other news, I officially hate the Internet. Why, you may ask? Because it takes up so much of my friggin' time.
I swore to myself I'd never be one of those people that spend all their time on their phone, texting and emailing to no avail... yet look at me now. I enjoy posting this blog in an effort to get others to realize what I've began to realize myself, but how can I when I am such a hypocrite?
So I took some steps. I deleted all my unnecessary iPhone apps and my Myspace (they weren't much use to me anyway). I went to http://keepmeout.com (KeepMeOut) for a Facebook blocker. It should supposedly warn me if I go to Facebook more than once every hour. Of course, you can easily override it, but it helps you become conscious about this kind of thing.
(Speaking of which, http://www.raptitude.com/2010/02/the-awkward-side-effects-of-evolution/ <--- click and be amazed!)
Now that I'm out of my usual entertainment, I can start to rebuild my brain back. I don't need to be mentally stimulated every moment of my life. I should educate myself on things that matter and things that I'm interested in.
Some things I'm thinking about pursuing:
* Mythology, particularly ones OTHER than the Greek and Roman tales
* Artwork (I admire Alex Grey, but I also think surrealism is particularly interesting)
* Pencil drawing(?) or painting or just any excuse to get my hands messy
* Photography
* Spending time with my boyfriend
(Well, ok, the last one's kind of a given, but it can't hurt to fit that one in there, you know?)
Hmm. I suppose this is more of a general update than any life lesson I'm trying to impose upon the world. Oh well. More to come.
