a brief history of tims taste in music

religions are filled with so many infuriating concepts. it makes me so mad and confused, but theyre so numerous it would take me forever to talk about it, and i have jobs to apply to. once im employed, rest assured ill be bitching at you, dear reader, about it.
looking for a job fucking sucks. i have a schedule restriction, so ive gone through like 3 interviews that were perfect until they asked about my availability. sooooooo frustrating. its nerve wracking enough without the constant raising and dashing of hope.
speaking of suction, i havent smoked for like 3 weeks. goooo tim. i cant really bitch about it, cuz i knew exactly what i was getting myself into when i started. its getting easier though. it would be easier still if i could blaze a little when im hurting for a smoke, but i got this kid to watch and i need a job. stupid adulthood and its priorities. what im doing with myself now is way more satisfying and cool and difficult than the slacker twentysomething thing i had going before.
ive been thinking about my musical geneaolgy, so to speak, and compiling a list of what bands i heard about from whom. aaron bass leads the list by a long shot, shortly followed by erick saenz and of course jon frame. heres my attempt at the list:

I look forward to hearing you bitch about religion.

Oh, and thanks for the shout-out. It's amazing how much my musical tastes have changed! Everyone had to go through the blink/NFG stage, right?!?

haha yeah, i know...i with i could get my hands on one of the old "hixmixes" and see what was up...i vaguely remember nfg covering my heart will go on and my first hearing of ska robot army by the aquabats.

of course, one cant overlook the earlier incarnation of the hixmix, which i believe predominantly consisted of dr dre and eminem.

and while im souting out, thanks for teaching me how to play dammit...a riff no high school guitar players repetoire should be without
