Life Quest, Vol 1
When you put Vol next to something it makes things seem more epic than what it really is. For example Kill Bill.
I spent the past few days walking around and thinking. I was stupid the other day, and I did some minor splurge shopping. I picked up Rock Against Bush Vol. 1, and Vol. 2 (they were on sale I got them both for the price of one CD) I haven’t checked out the DVDs that came with them yet but, the bands that were in Vol. 2 is so odd considering of who made it.
Vol. 2 has Foo Fighters, and No Doubt next to Operation Ivy and Drop Kick Murphys. To me it’s the punk equivalent of a concert with Megadeth, Motley Crue, and Vanilla Ice.
Anyway I did get one more thing, which was the biggest impulse buy a moleskine notebook. It’s really neat, it oozes old world craftsmanship and features I never seen in a notebook like this. Like the grid ruling, imitation leather covers, elastic band, bookmark, and coolest of all a secret pocket.
According to the makers, it was the same kind of notebook that Van Gogh, Matisse, and Hemingway used. For the laugh value, I went to the site, then I did a search I found this blog dedicated to it.
So something as ordinary as a notebook has a community. But there is something extremely punk about this book. I can’t describe it. Maybe I’m easily bought to the marketing thinking that I am using something that the greats used.
But I have been writing lots more in it than I have in months in any other notebook. I think I just want my $20 bucks worth.
But let me write in it for a while, I’ll do some scans of some of the better stuff and put it up. Of course you guys will have to read my handwriting. I feel sorry for you guys then.
