My Friend is Also in a Midlife Crisis

I just talked to a very close friend of mine over the phone. Without me even mentioning it, he revealed that he was going through a midlife crisis as well. He touched on the most important point I iterated: we now have adult money; it's time to buy some toys! He even brought up how, as a kid, you're not able to obtain the things you really want. Now as an adult with adult money, you can! We are both looking forward to our next years. Although, our knees and our backs aren't what they used to be....

Another important point of discussion he brought is how money can buy you happiness. Well, maybe not quite, but it does help. I remember when I would see a cool shirt, or maybe a cool game, and not buying it because I had to hang on to every penny. Not exactly a happy feeling. Now, I can walk into a local store that sells used shirts and buy an awesome Escape to the Void Sepultura shirt. Not even purchase it for myself, but for a friend of mine. I even thought to myself "Dude! That's a badass shirt! Second best track on that album (after Inquisition Symphony)! Damn, it's not my size! Well, if I can't wear it, one of my buddies has to wear it!" So I bought it. It didn't fit my friend either, but he gave it to his son. We where both pleased.

And that's what adult money can buy you. The satisfaction that both you and your best friend can see someone they deeply care about wearing the most badass Sepultura shirt ever that you just bought. Too bad it wasn't my size. Hahaha!

But don't get carried away! There's no shortage of millionaires who are lonely and miserable. I think the larger point is having adult money with friends and family you deeply care about. Ultimately, it's not really about having money. It's about sharing cool stuff, time, and memories with your friends and family. Never hesitate to buy things for your friends and family (and for yourself) if you've got the money. But it's most important to just simply make time for them and create everlasting memories with them.

World's End

World's End In a clash of melancholy, The world will end. All the flowers of the Earth shall burn into a crisp. The fish of the sea, the birds, and the trees all die as one with humanity. Tossed into oblivion eternity of nothing thrown into emptiness. Will we be born again? The world set ablaze a fire in the sky. Inferno consumes the land All perish; die. Weep not for the critters or your loved ones. Today is the day we all meet the same fate Tossed into oblivion, eternity of nothing, thrown into emptiness, Will we be born again? In a clash of melancholy, The world will end. All the flowers of the Earth shall burn into a crisp. The fish of the sea, the birds, and the trees All die as one with humanity.

Muh Aztec Ancestors

Actually, as much as Mexicans love to believe that they where Aztecs, they where most likely the slaves to the Aztecs. Hell, they probably helped Cortez destroy Tenochtitlan. Come to think of it, the Aztecs weren't even native to Mexico. They came from somewhere up north. Utah, perhaps. They arrived, colonized, conquered,and enslaved dozens of other tribes. It was these subjugated tribes that joined ranks with the Conquistadors. So there you go. The Aztecs where evil colonizers and oppressors and the Conquistadors where liberators. Stop larping as an Aztec and start larping as a Conquistador.

Dreamhour - Now That We Are Here

Dreamhour - Now That We Are Here I first heard of Dreamhour when I listened to the album VLLNS . I think it's a wonderful album full of killer grooves and catchy melodies. My favorite tracks included "Cerebral Chase" with it's smooth chorus and both "Blood Patrol" and "Shobdohin" with its sexy guitar and synth lines. I cannot say I enjoy the follow, PROPSTVR as much. For whatever reason, that album simply didn't vibe with me. Maybe it's because the theme of VLLLNS is just way cool, and in having a cool theme, it generated cool music. What's not to like about a story involving a megacity vampire cult? We're not here to talk about those two albums. We're here for Now That We Are Here . There a few songs on this album that give me PROPSTVR vibes, such as the first two songs. Naturally, I can't fully appreciate these songs. Other songs contain quite good synth melodies, but are less tha...
