So, again my goodness, it's been 4 months since I wrote anything on here. You know, been doing the usual, work, grad school, eat, music, sleep, repeat. Oh and I got a dog. But that's really all I talk about and right now I'm sick of talking about it.

Anyway.

I've found myself listening to old school Dashboard Confessional a lot lately. Which is possibly a good indicator of feeling a little... oh yah know.. do I really have to say it? Emo.

I just had a birthday and all of a sudden I'm feeling a little more adult.. which is cool, I guess. But before I get emo all over this blog, I'll get to the point.

His lyrics. My goodness. This whole album is high school in a snapshot for me. And somehow, it is right now for me too.

Some of my faves:

I'm missing your laugh, how did it break? And when did your eyes begin to look fake? I hope you're as happy as you're pretending.

And you're measuring your minutes by a clock that's blinking eights.

This is incredible, starving, insatiable. Yes, this is love for the first time. Well you'd like to think that you were invincible, yeah, well weren't we all once. Before we felt loss for the first time. Well this is the last time.

Does it comfort you to know you fought the good fight? Basking in your victory, hollow and alone, while you boast your bitter bragging rights to anyone who'll listen. While you're left with nothing tangible to gain. 


And ugh just so much more. That entire album. 

Specifically this song. I even tried to learn it on guitar when I was in high school, but it's tuned down funny and well, my fingers are delicate.
