Reality hits you hard, Bro!

Life 1:0 Max 

*dingdingding*

I don't want to sound like I'm constantly challenged by life itself or frustrated with what I'm faced with, but this week was definitely another knockout for me. Having developed the habit of sleeping all day long and procrastinating the hell out of every day - just like every holiday - I had difficulties with getting out of bed before 10 a.m., let alone before 7 a.m.! So I started to commute to my university, just as I used to do several months ago. I saw familiar faces, walked the same route to my seminar rooms and soon remembered why I always feel some kind of discomfort when I think about my university: Every plan and structure you've established for the semester is, with high probability, going to be transient and sooner or later crushed by the system. It's like the institution itself is trolling me. 

" You wanna take this course? You do? Well... NOPE! *trolololol* "

But it seems like I'm not the only one who's complaining about the registration system of my university. We poor little students just have to deal with it. ->Reality hits you hard, bro!

The only good thing about the new semester is getting to know a bunch of new people. At least that's what you would expect from a new semester, right? Well.. let's just say that my otherwise open-minded and generally friendly nature was put to the test with some of the most irritating personalities you could imagine! Apart from the massive load of nerds at my university (and I mean the bad kind) there was one incident that had the essence of what I have been struggling with for quite a long time now...

When you get to know a person, you ask his or her several questions. Sure thing. Depending on what you are interested in, you might - at some point - even ask this person a question like "Hey, so what kind of music do you listen to?". Approximately 95% answer this question with "Uhm, I'm listening to everything, really..." --- When I got this damn answer for the quadrillionth time, I started asking "Oh REEAALLY, HM? So what do you like the most? Just name a few!" (while having the hugest grin in my imagination, because here, more than 50% list things that are all kind of the same thing!!)

It really gets on my nerves, if people say that they are listening to everything, creating the image that they listen to a wide range of genres, indicating that they might be considerate and thoughtful towards other stuff too... and then BOOM! They are chart-whores. Sh*t like this makes me aggressive!

So I asked this question to a fellow student I did not know, just to see what she might like and if her appearance matched her taste in music, because she looked like an indie-girl.

Guess what!?

Chart.

Whore.
!!!!

*growl*

So this was my week. Pretty rough, but a man's got to do what a man's got to do, right?
(*giggle* maaaaan :3 *giggle*)

S O H N - Oscillate

In my last post, I showed you their song "The Wheel," remember? 1 or 2 songs of them later, I completely fell in love with them. Their EP = Album of the Month!!

 
Vitamin String Quartett - Rape Me (Nirvana Cover)
I found this song at the end of a porn video. Please don't judge from the title of the song what kind of video that was! :x ... I guess you can find music in the weirdest places, right? RIGHT?

Krystale - Caught Up (Kaytradamus Remix)
 
Ben Howard - The Fear (Moonlight Matters Rework)
 
Dillon - Thirteen Thirtyfive
My favorite song at the moment. The remixes are just as good as the original. LURVE IT!!
 

I hope you enjoyed this post as much as I enjoyed writing it! :)
Have a nice week and enjoy the most beautiful side to nature - Fall! :]

The Upcoming Fall (/Autumn) Depression

A few days ago, somebody on the radio mentioned that this time of the year, namely fall (or autumn, depending on where you're from), is the season of LOVE.

Well, I don't feel this LOVE at the moment. In fact, all I feel is a tad of loneliness and a nice dose of rejection. Enough to keep me busy until the winter time... As you can see, my phase of depression comes a little early, since normally the real depression begins with the falling of the first snowflakes.

So what exactly led to this onset of feeling blue?

Simple sentences. Sentences that are so typical, it hurts. And they hurt. 

Being a very picky person when it comes to fully opening up and getting emotionally dependent on someone, I might use some harsh sentences now and then, too. One simply HAS to. But at a time when you are effusively vulnerable (for whatever reason), certain sentences hit you with such a force that for days you'll be thinking about them, digesting them until they don't hurt anymore. They may occur one at a time, giving you the chance to recover a bit. But they can also come all at once - the more sentences there are to hurt you, the more you're basically f*cked...

 

(maybe right-click it to see it clearly)

That is all there is to say, right now. I'm feeling blue and I'm missing inspiration for new posts.

This is why I chose to let you have a voice and help me with my next post. See the question/survey at the top right?  Choose one or more answers and let me know what would interest you. I'd really appreciate that :)
