I can’t help but think of what it feels to put the edge of my plugged charger on my tongue. Is this weird? Always thinking of the goddamn thing? Reminds me of the movie Crank. Anyway, it’s been a recurring image lately.
One thing: I rarely get headaches. I usually get them from eating fatty foods (the bagnet I bought from Ilocos, lechon kawali and lechon) or with coffee–which explains why I don’t drink coffee that much. With problems I don’t exactly put them into mind, though tonight I’m having a really bad headache.
Why? (This might seem unparalleled, grammar-wise.)
- I drank iced coffee–must be the brain-freeze, and the fact that it’s too sweet. Why do iced coffees have to be really FUCKING sweet? (Or at least in our local coffee shops. We don’t have Starbucks or any other major cafes anyway.)
- I smoked a lot of cigarettes today.
- I’m fresh from a writing workshop.
- My roommate confided three fucking problems.
- Stressed (though I had twelve hours of sleep last Tuesday).
- Overanalyzed things.
- Still emphasizing the fact that I couldn’t make a critical paper. (If I could, it would be the densest ever.)
- I must have missed drinking beer.
- Thinking about the next few days to come.
- Koreans!!! (I’ll talk about these Koreans next time.)
I’m trying to calm my headache with music from Daft Punk; I feel it would intensify when exposed to Damien Rice or even Vampire Weekend–I don’t know why.
This Saturday my band would be having a gig in a friend’s birthday. First gig, guys! Our band name: Gramsci and His Cultural Hegemony. We’re about to sing nine songs though we’ve only rehearsed five of them. I only do the vocals, fuck me, because my guitar skills are inadequate, thankyouverymuch.
I’m turning 19 next Monday.
Then I’ll be having rehearsals every night since I’m tentatively included in the cast of our play. Playdate: March 17. This isn’t good. Though I’ll be playing a minor role, this is still a royal pain in the ass. (I’ll deliver six lines! You guys should be impressed.)
Come March 9 I’ll be interviewed for the renewal of my VISA. (I’ll be skipping three classes. My bad.)
Papers, requirements, exams, sleepless nights: this shall be the cycle of my life for the remaining four weeks of this semester. Onward, I shall march with bravery and a beer in hand. Onward!

advance happy bday and good luck with the visa renewal.
I love the name of your band, man! Although I don’t know much about the man. In fact, I only know him because of his cultural hegemony concept.
But, pray tell, what are you guys planning to play?
@Skron: Lol thanks! :) We’ll be playing
1. The Take Over The Break’s Over - Fall Out Boy
2. Radio - Alkaline Trio
3. Happy Birthday - Click Five (just because our birthday buddy’s turning 21, and the lyrics are just right)
4. Disappear - Motion City Soundtrack
5. The Zephyr Song - Red Hot Chili Peppers
:D Teehee, number 4 is super difficult. It’s from their newest album, btw.
@eon: THANKS! I need luck. :D
@Skron again: It’s kind of weird I’ll be singing these songs when I’m into Phoenix these days (though I used to like them). My bandmates don’t dig such shit.. oh well.
Well, Kev, for a guy your age, you seem to have a mature taste in music. So I don’t doubt that your band don’t dig the stuff your listening to.
When I was nineteen, I was into nu-metal (Korn, Deftones, etc.) while my bandmates were stuck listening to stoner rock and grunge. We disbanded of course. We weren’t moving on the same direction anymore.
Believe it or not but I haven’t heard any of those songs that you guys are gonna play. I only have 1 Alkaline Trio album, Crimson, which is really good. But I stopped listening to them after Remains. I’ve only heard one Fall Out Boy song, and I don’t even know its title. That’s pretty extreme for a Chicagoan because FOB is a big thing here in Chicago.
march 1 bday mo? apir!!!
headache— post-coital? hmmmm… peace!
march 1. why should i forget?
advanced happy birthday.
@Skron: Haven’t stumbled upon Korn/Deftones music though I hear them a lot from some people.
That’s a surprising thing to hear, sir! FOB is too famous (or at least here in PH) to be missed in anyone’s playlist.
And you don’t hear anything about Red Hot Chili Peppers!!! You should. :D
@Chingoy: I don’t get the post-coital part.
@Lemon Writer: Uhh, hi sir. Thanks for the greeting!
there’s this thing called “post-coital headache”… :)
Weh, 19 ka lang?!! haha
happy birthday in advance! as for the headache, slow down. vienna waits for u. :D
