So...i have a new man to obsess over, and sadly, we will never be together. However, i can fantasize can't I? You may know him as Anthony Keidis and if you don't you know him as the lead singer of the Red Hot Chili Peppers. I read his biography or autobiography actually, "Scar Tissue." I highly recommend it bt the way. Anyways, he went through so much and overcame his drug addiction and he's hot and an amazing singer and a phenomonal writer( laugh out loud danielle). Check out his book because i gurantee you won't be disapointed.
People don't seem to realize how important music is in my life. I went through a brief period of cutting and substance abuse because I always felt out of place. i never felt that I belonged to any particualr group or that i even belonged in this hypicritical, two-faced world we live in. Than I found a small band called Linkin Park and a little song called "Numb". This was the first song that changed my life. i used to sit for hours in my bedroom, in the dark, with nothing on but a lava lamp and listen to that song. Eventually I found other bands that sang about not fitting in and bands that didn't fit in with the music of it's time. 30 Seconds To Mars, the Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Saosin, Chiodos, The Matces, System of A Down, Slipknot and so, so, many more. The most euphoric feeling i get is when i'm at a concert. I look up at the singer's face and his or her eyes are closed and they're grasping the microphone as if they're grasping for their life. The guitarists are in a world of their own, nothing penetrating the walls of their brains where these sounds are playing. The drummer half the time isn't looking at anything but his kit and just beating his emotions away. Fans are screaming lyrics with so much compassion and emotion and for three or four hours the world makes sense. For three or four hours I feel comfotrable in my own skin and and I fit in. I fit in with the music and all my self doubts, insecurity, and concerns melt away and the only thing left is the music. I need music to live. Granted not as much as H20 or oxygen, but it's high up there. Don't doubt my love for something that i consider to be my first marriage. Music Saved My Soul, it can save yours too. We will all be united.
