2:06AM

It's 2:06AM, it's fucking freezing. I'm listening to Closing Time by Tom Waits, I love this album. I've been listening to older albums lately. I think there's something to be said about how we have so many albums at our fingertips and take that for granted. I definitely do. I mean, I do remember a time where I could only really play CDs, but I'm younger so streaming has been around most of my life. That nostalgia kind of effects everyone, whether you actually experienced it or not. I still have a CD collection though. I like being able to hold it, especially something as intangible and truly indescribable as music. I wonder what the solution for the obvious problems with streaming are. I wonder if we'll ever be able to reverse the devaluation of art, but it's kind of hard to put a monetary price on the whole experience of art. I don't know any solutions for that, but I don't know how much longer the current streaming treatment will be accepted. I'm reading Daisy Jones & The Six, I love it. I love how it's formatted and how the story is told through that style. I love reading band interviews so it's like my perfect book.

I think I look to history searching for some sort of meaning in all of this. Or as some sort of archival evidence that I'm not alone in all of this and that people all throughout history, though our circumstances vary, all had something in common. I love seeing the things that kind of make people from history feel more real, I think sometimes I don't fully grasp that those people had whole lives and families and friends and drama and love and that even though our lives look quite different, there's so many things that are kind of the same.

Anyway, I don't really know. I'm just kinda bored and thought I'd actually use this
