People Named John are Cool! Hahahaha
Haha I'm so slow but I finally got last.fm running for me.
Anyway I want to give tribute for Half-Handed Cloud:
Half-handed Cloud is an interesting phenomenon. John Ringhofer, the man behind the namesake, is as joyful and frugal as his music. An economical thinker, Ringhofer prefers the subway over a taxicab, is a recycler of plastic, a compulsive note-taker, and a habitual optimist. He doodles in the margins of National Geographic magazines, carries several different colored pens, and continues to use an antiquated CD walkman. When not on tour solo or as the trombonist for Sufjan Stevens' Illinoisemakers, he lives rent-free in Berkeley California in exchange for his services as a custodian in a church. His music encapsulates his struggle to make sense of his life and his passions. In Half-handed Cloud this is expressed as an all-consuming search for God. Like Brother Danielson, Half-handed Cloud is able to ensconce complicated theological concepts into playground song without condescending to his subject or to his listener.
I tell you're on a gloomy day and you're feeling really sore and down, his music will DEFINITELY lift you up. It just makes me smile even when the day's been really screwed up. Oh and the songs are all God-based which I really really really like. Ahahaha. I can send you some if you're down and wanna feel a little chuckle :]
These few nights I feel like going on chat rooms like how we all used to and just talk random stuff with strangers. And meet some really amazing people online whose thoughts are on cool and interesting things - not those people who only wants sex in chatrooms. I used to have friends like that but we all lost touch.
It's sad cause you know how you used to know someone but when you all lose contact it's like as if you'll never find that person again. Especially online buddies/penpals. And recently I have urges to want to know how they are doing in life. People like weighl, bunza, darklord and BoT and everyone else who I used to talk nuts to when I was 12 and naive and they didn't mind. Haha.. And to those people I used to play free mmorpgs with. How's everyone doing? Where did everyone go? Sometimes I'm so curious I just pray for them. That their safe, and they aren't into bad stuff and everything. Yeah, I know that's really random but hey, I'm sure you have people you lost absolute contact with.
Ever wondered where and what and how they look like now?
Haha... I know it's funny cause we can't possibly remember everyone that were once part of our lives. Especially when you turn 80 and you reflect back on life. Everything's probably like a big blur already. Hahaha
Alright, I'm off to bed.
