New Year rEVOLution and Beer Monstrosities
I became cranky again last night. Blame exhaustion or blame that time of the day where I usually rant about almost everything and of course, everybody.
Last night, I went to Rock Baby Rock, a benefit concert for sexually abused children, which was held in Katips Bar. I was with Mikey and Cybele. With the production coming from Cybele's alma mater, Ateneo de Manila University, it's inevitable that most of the performers were Ateneans. Okay, I'm deviating from my objective now. Smack me. I guess here goes my Harvey Pekar/Becker-esque attitude of being totally self deprecating and criticizing everything and everybody I find a bit unjust. Like the last band, TakenByCars. I mean, they're good and all that. They did some kind of 80s post-punk renaissance, something like what Minus The Bear and The Killers are doing . However, I got turned off when the singer started cracking jokes about how drunk she is or how she thinks she should drink more. Like Chicosci. I mean, yeah, in the songs , there's raw emotion and fury. But I cant help but get annoyed when I see the singer being totally goofy and cracking jokes and shit. Sometimes our mouths could totally ruin the good thing we're providing. On a personal note, my insecurity meter went up agaibn when I saw this attractive young girl in a miniskirt and I saw her with a guy companion and it just made me think " Uhhh, I guess I wouldn't be able to belong again." That's my superficial side, but hey, it's a sin, but a justified one since I'm just "TRYING TO COHABITATE WITH THE REST OF THE WORLD", broken as it may be.
I guess I'm not made for these times. Well, maybe I'am. But not in this country. So here's hoping
